This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of various kinds of salt on the quality and storage characteristics of tteokgalbi. The tteokgalbi was prepared using four types of salt: 1.5% purified salt (control, C), 1.5% five-year-old solar salt (FS), 1.5% Topan solar salt (TS), and 1.5% French Gu$\acute{e}$rande solar salt (GS). The moisture, crude lipid, crude ash, crude protein and calorie contents, water holding capacity, and cooking loss were not significantly different between control and all other treatments. As for the textural characteristics, the use of GS increased the hardness of the tteokgalbi. According to the sensory evaluation, the use of TS had the best score in springiness. Tteokgalbi made with TS and GS had the two highest scores in flavor and total acceptability. During 15 d of storage, the contents of 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and the total microbial counts increased, while the pH decreased. The TBA values of the tteokgalbi containing TS and GS were lower than that of C. Lightness (L) and yellowness (b) values decreased during storage, but redness (a) displayed no significant difference during storage. Overall, the best results, in terms of TBA value and sensory attributes, were obtained for the tteokgalbi containing TS and GS.

This research was carried out to find herbal preservatives for Makgeolli, as Makgeolli loses its commercial value due to overproduced acidic materials. When Makgeolli was kept at $25^{\circ}C$ to find the changes in acidity, total microbial cell number, yeast cell number, and bacterial species variety, a sudden increase of acidity as well as the disappearance of yeast cells occurred at day 6, and Makgeolli was changed to complete off-flavor. Acetobacter pasteurianus is the main acidifier in Makgeolli and shows a synergy effect in acid formation when cultured in combination with Lactobacillus casei. Among 12 herbs, the ethanol extract of Sutellaria baicalensis showed antimicrobial activity against A. pasteurianus, whereas the ethanol extract of Coptidis rhizoma showed antimicrobial activity against L. casei. Makgeolli added with Sutellaria baicalensis extracts demonstrated a lower acidity than that with Coptidis rhizoma extracts, which indicates that the inhibition of an acetic acid former is more important than that of a lactic acid former in Makgeolli preservation. Sutellaria baicalensis extracts prolonged the shelf life of Makgeolli by 1~2 weeks at a minimal inhibitory concentration ($0.63mg/m{\ell}$) during storage at $10^{\circ}C$.

This study was performed to examine the quality characteristics of red ginseng wet noodles prepared with additions of carrageenan, xanthan gum, or guar gum. The quality characteristics of the samples were estimated in terms of their general composition, color differences, cooking characteristics, textural attributes, sensory qualities, and microbial growth during storage. The results were as follows. Protein content was significantly decreased in the guar gum added group and ash content was significantly increased in the carrageenan added group (p<0.05). Lipid, water, and Na contents were not significant different among the groups. However, water binding capacity was significantly increased in the group with added xanthan gum. Over 10 weeks of storage, water contents did not differ significantly between the xanthan gum and guar gum added groups. In all the added gum groups, L- and a- values were significantly increased whereas b- values decreased (p<0.05). In texture profile analyses, chewiness, cohesiveness, hardness, and springiness were significantly increased in the carrageenan and xanthan gum added groups (p<0.05). According to sensory evaluations, surface color, red ginseng flavor, red ginseng taste, softness, chewiness, and overall acceptability were considered very good in the xanthan gum and guar gum added groups (p<0.05). Therefore, the red ginseng noodles containing xanthan gum and guar gum were deemed most preferable and presented the safest shelf-life during 10 weeks at -$10^{\circ}C$.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of adding rosemary extract powder (REP) to pork teokgalbi on its quality and storage characteristics. Five types of teokgalbi were tested, viz. with no REP added (normal, N), with 0.05% ascorbic acid added (control, C) and with 0.05% (R1), 0.1% (R2) and 0.2% (R3) of REP added. The proximate composition, calorific value, water holding capacity and cooking loss were not significantly different among the different types of pork teokgalbi. The L and a values of the teokgalbi containing REP were significantly lower than those of the N and C groups. As regards the textural characteristics, the addition of 0.2% REP increased the springiness value. In the sensory evaluation, the teokgalbi with the addition of 0.1% REP had higher scores in flavor and total acceptability. The 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, total microbial count and volatile basic nitrogen content of the teokgalbi containing 0.2% REP were lower than those of the N group. In conclusion, R3 was significantly more effective in delaying lipid peroxidation than the other treatment groups. Therefore, rosemary extract could be used as a natural antioxidant in meat products.

We assessed the sanitary quality of fish jerky based on domestic standards (Korean FDA, Standards on Quality of Seafood and Seafood Products, KS) and compared the characteristics of fish jerky with those of other commercial animal jerky products. The standards encompassed sensory properties (form, flavor, color, texture, and foreign matter), moisture, and microbial properties (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus). Based on the standards, some fish jerkies did not meet standards on sensory form (code 5) and color (code 11), moisture content (code 7 and 12), E. coli (code 2, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 14) and S. Aureus (code 5). These results suggest that commercial fish jerky should be monitored and controlled on safety to ensure the distribution of high-quality products.

This review was intended to develop the sterilization method of spices by gamma irradiation and the results are summarized as follows. Microbial load of spices was different according to the kind of spices and the number was ranged from $10^{2}$-$10^{5}/g$ to $10^{7}$-$10^{8}/g$, gamma irradiation up to 4-10 kGy could decreased or sterilized to the microorganism of spices. In physicochemical properties of spices such as chemical components,essential oil and flavor, irradiated group with optimum dose was almost similar to the nonirradiated one, while fumigant treated group was remarkably deteriorated in the properties of spices compared with control, and free radicals produced by irradiation was disappeared during a few days storage. Irradiated spices should be an aptitude for good quality the storeability of processing food. Optimum dose irradiation below less than that proposed by FAO/IAEA/WHO Joint Committee and FDA was remarkably effect on the sterilization of spices and superior in wholesomeness and economic feasibiity compared with traditional methods. Irradiation might be an alternative to traditional sterilization methods of spices by fumigants such as ethylene oxide and ethylene dibromide because their treatments have been banned in U.S.A and other countries since 1982.

Sodium chloride is used to improve various properties of processed meat products, e.g., taste, preservation, water binding capacity, texture, meat batter viscosity, safety, and flavor; however, many studies have shown that sodium chloride increases the resistance of many foodborne pathogens to heat and acid. Listeria monocytogenes has been isolated from various readyto- eat (RTE) meat and dairy products formulated with sodium chloride; therefore, the objective of this paper was to review the effects of sodium chloride on the physiological characteristics of L. monocytogenes. The exposure of L. monocytogenes to sodium chloride may increase biofilm formation on foods or food contact surfaces, virulence gene transcription, invasion of Caco-2 cells, and bacteriocin production, depending on L. monocytogenes strain and serotype as well as sodium chloride concentration. When L. monocytogenes cells were exposed to sodium chloride, their resistance to UV-C irradiation and freezing temperatures increased, but sodium chloride had no effect on their resistance to gamma irradiation. The morphological properties of L. monocytogenes, especially cell elongation and filament formation, also change in response to sodium chloride. These findings indicate that sodium chloride affects various physiological responses of L. monocytogenes and thus, the effect of sodium chloride on L. monocytogenes in RTE meat and dairy products needs to be considered with respect to food safety. Moreover, further studies of microbial risk assessment should be conducted to suggest an appropriate sodium chloride concentration in animal origin foods.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the addition of various amounts (0, 1, 3, 5%) of Mokdanpi(P. suffruticosa) powder on the shelf life and the physicochemical, sensory characteristics of rice cakes and noodles to examine the possibility of using Mokdanpi as a natural food preservative for food products. The decrease in the moisture content of rice cake and noodle samples during storage was much less in Mokdanpi-added groups than the control group. The color L value increased and a and b values decreased in the rice cake samples, and color L value, b value decreased and a value increased in the noodle samples during storage. The microbial growth was less in Mokdanpi-added groups than the control group. In sensory evaluation, there were no significant differences among the control and 1, 3%-added groups in terms of color, flavor, taste, moistness, cohesiveness and overall quality; however, 5%-added groups received significantly less score than others (p＜0.05). As the storage time increased, the sensory scores decreased significantly in the control and 1 %-added groups of both rice cakes and noodles (p＜0.05), but no changes were observed in 3, 5%-added samples. The results suggested that Mokdanpi is effective in increasing the shelf life and inhibiting the staling of rice cakes and noodles.

EMC have a similar enzymatic reaction to cheese, but the EMC produce the stronger flavors than cheese by much more enzymatic reaction. It is important to find appropriate enzyme in order to develop these kind of superior EMC. Calf PGE is more suitable than that of kid and lamb to develop the mild cheese flavors. Especially, it was known that animal esterase and peptidase were more benefit than microbial enzyme for Cheddar cheese flavors. On the Cheddar and Swiss cheese, EMC flavors were much more 3 times than the cheese flavors. In the ratio of each component, butyric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid were high in free fatty acid, and glutamic acid, valine, leucine and lysine were high in free amino acid of the Cheddar EMC.

Soy sauce has a long history used as a food ingredient. However, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, mono-sodium glutamate, starch syrup, and fructose are added to soy sauce during fermentation for the taste and flavor of product. But consumers have been reluctant to the taste of these artificial additives. In this experiment, anchovy sauce was used to prepare soy sauce to enhance the quality and brine was used as a control. To evaluate the quality of soy sauce added with anchovy, total nitrogen (TN) and soluble nitrogen contents, total soild contents, total sugar reducing sugar. lactic acid content and protease activity were monitored during fer-mentation. Total microbial numbers and lactic acid bacteria were not significantly changed among the cases. Aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. and lactic acid bacteria were not significantly changed among the cases we studied, For the total sensory test, it was also estimated that the cases using anchovy sauce were superior to the control. From the results mentioned above, we could obtain shorter fermenation period as well as the quality improvement in the case of using anchovy sauce instead of salty water in the fermented soy sauce production.
