  • In this study, we investigated the effects of ripened tomato on the Baechukimchi fermentation, by measuring sensory, physicochemical, and microbiological properties during fermentation up to 28 days. The Baechukimchi, with various levels [0, 10, 20, 30%(w/v)] of ripened tomato, was fermented at $10^{\circ}C$. The product containing 20% ripened tomato showed the highest scores for overall acceptability, sour taste, texture, sour smell, and color. The intensity characteristic scores related to sour smell and sour taste were the highest in the control, and the texture score was highest in the 20% ripened tomato sample. During fermentation, total acidity increased while pH gradually decreased. The reducing sugar and total vitamin C contents of the experimental groups with added ripened tomato were higher than those of the control. Also, the time periods to reach maximum levels of lactic acid bacteria, by log numbers of cells and total viable cells, were more delayed in the experimental groups with added ripened tomato than in the control. Overall, the results indicate that a 20% addition of ripened tomato to Baechukimchi during fermentation can enhance sensory qualities and extended the palatable period of the product.

  • Pressure, used as a minimal processing technology in the food industry, is a valuable tool ensuring microbiologically safe, shelf-stable fruit and vegetable production. Pressure could be used to deliver a greater variety of minimally processed products, as demanded by today's consumers. Weevaluated the effect of <400 MPa pressure, applied during chilling, on fresh fruit purees (strawberry, kiwi, aloe, and pomegranate) and vegetable extracts (from carrot and spinach) during cold storage (<$10^{\circ}C$) for 15-20 days. Samples were prepared in a processing facility in which total plate counts of falling and floating bacteria were controlled at $1{\times}100-10^1$ CFU/plate and $1{\times}10^2-10^3$ $CFU/m^3$ under conditions of $21-25^{\circ}C$ and 55-60% relative humidity. The aerobic plate counts of raw materials were less than $1{\times}10^3$ CFU/g. Evaluation parameters included microbiological safety, vitamin content, and sensory qualities. Although the overall quality of non-treated samples deteriorated with storage time at $10^{\circ}C$, samples pressurized at 250-350 MPa at $5-7^{\circ}C$ for 10 min showed less change, with no significant difference in microbiological safety, vitamin content, or sensory quality. The use of pressure extended the shelf-life during storage at $10^{\circ}C$.

  • Kochujang prepared by liquid and solid koji using isolated bacteria(Sunchang 1 and Park 2) showing excellent enzyme activities were gamma irradiated at $15{\pm}1.5\;kGy$ to investigate their qualities from the physicochemical, microbiological and enzymatic points of view during fermentaion at $25^{\circ}C$ for 90 days. The amino type nitrogen contents were $0.6{\sim}0.7%$ after 30 days of fermentation. Irradiation completly stopped gas production which is one of biggest problem of kochujang distribution. Enzyme activities were some different according to koji and irradiation treatment. Amino type nitrogen content as one the most important quality indice was higher in kochujang fermented by isolated bacteria (Park 2) than non inoculated traditional kochujang. But sensory quality was not significantly different.

  • This study attempted to fortify Kimchi with water extracts of shells of shellfishes (corb shell, short neck clam, taste clam, ark shell, top shell, oyster) as natural resource of calcium. Kimchi added with the shell extracts in 5% were fermented at 1$0^{\circ}C$ with measurements in chemical, microbiological and sensory qualities. Calcium content of shellfish shells before water extraction was in the range of 25.57~38.78%. Kimchi added with the extracts showed higher pH, lower acidity, lower total aerobic bacterial count and higher lactic acid bacteria count compared to control Kimchi without any addition. After 7 day fermentation the Kimchi added with the extracts also showed higher ash and calcium contents compared to control products (3.3~5.0 vs. 2.8~3.0% and 300~376 vs. 70~95 mg%). Kimchi with oyster shell extract gave the most pronounced effect in ash and calcium contents. The addition of extract made Kimchi crisper and less sourer oganoleptically. In the overall acceptability, the Kimchi fortified with the shell extracts were better than control after 14 day fermentation.

  • The effect of gamma irradiation was investigated on the microbiological and physicochemical qualities of boiled-dried anchovies (large- and smallsized) packed in PVC film (0.06 ㎜) during storage at 15$\pm$1$\^{C}$ for 6 months. On the other hand, thermoluminescence characteristics of minerals extracted from the sample were analyzed to evaluate its possibility in detecting the irradiated anchovies. The samples were contaminated by microbial levels of 104∼106 CFU/g in total aerobic bacterial counts and negative in coliforms, which were different depending on the sample sizes. Gamma irradiation at 3 kGy was effective for improving the hygienic quality of both samples for 6 months, keeping the microbial population less than 20 CFU/g. Besides it was not detrimental to the quality attributes, such as instrumental color parameters L, a, b, ΔE), browning, TBA value, volatile basic nitrogen, trimethylamine-N and sensory properties(appearance, color, odor, tape, overall acceptability). However, storage conditions (time, temperature, packing) showed a critical factor nfluencing the quality changes of dried anchovies. Thermoluminscence analysis was prove to distinguish irradiated from non-irradiated anchovies by comparing both temperature at which glow curves appear and the curve intensity, that was possible even after 6 months at - 20$\^{C}$.

  • This study was performed to determine the rapid thawing method for reducing the thawing time of frozen pork loins and to examine the effects of supercooling on the microbiological, physicochemical, and sensory qualities of fresh and frozen-thawed pork during storage at -1.5, 4, and $15^{\circ}C$. Forced-air thawing at $4^{\circ}C$ was the most time-consuming process, whereas radio frequency thawing time was the shortest by dielectric heating. The supercooling storage temperature was chosen to be $-1.5^{\circ}C$ because microstructural damages were not observed in the pork sample after cooling at $-1.5^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. Fresh or frozen-thawed pork loins stored at $-1.5^{\circ}C$ had lower drip loss and total volatile base nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance, and Hunter b* levels than loins stored at 4 and $15^{\circ}C$. In addition, the least degree of increase in preexisting microorganisms counts of the fresh or frozen-thawed pork loin samples was obtained during supercooled storage at $-1.5^{\circ}C$. Sensory quality results of fresh and frozen-thawed pork loin samples stored at $-1.5^{\circ}C$ showed higher scores than the samples stored at 4 and $15^{\circ}C$. These data indicate that supercooling at $-1.5^{\circ}C$ in the meat processing industry would be effective for maintaining the quality of pork meats without ice crystal nucleation and formation.

  • Gamma irradiation as a new physical treatment was applied to comparative investigates with a conventional ethylene oxide fumigant on the microbiological and physicochemical qualities of selected spices and dry vegetables such as powdered red pepper, black pepper, welsh onion, onion, garlic, carrot, korean cabbage and instant ramyon soup. The microorganisms contaminated in the sample, including total viable count, thermophilic bacteria, aerobic spore and fungi counts between the $10^4\;to\;10^6/g$ range. Coliforms were found only in black pepper and welsh onion powder as the $10^2\;to\;10^3/g$ level. A radiation dose of 7 to 10 KGy were sterilized completely to the contaminated microorganisms, while ehthylene oxide (E.O.) fumigation reduced of them to the $10^3/g$ level. An optimum dose of irradiation was less detrimental than E.O. fumigation to the physicochemical properties of the sample. Sensory evaluation after three months of storage at room temperatures showed that the overall acceptability of irradiated sample was higher than that of the non treated control as well as E.O. fumigated samples. Comparison gamma irradiation with E.O. gas treatment showed that E.O. treatment was less effective than radiation in cotrolling microbial contamination of spices and vegetables.

  • This study analyzed the Importance-Performance Analysis of selective attributes of Home Meal Replacement (HMR). This study was conducted using a primary field survey on department stores and wholesale markets in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. A total of 201 out of 234 questionnaires were analyzed. First, the highest intake frequency was 1~3 times a month (100 respondents: 48%), the most common purchasing place was wholesale market (148 respondents: 73.6%), and the most cited reason for preference was convenience (115 respondents: 57.2%). According to the IPA results, selective attributes with low satisfaction and high importance in the second quadrant were 'quality', 'health', 'hygiene', 'origin of food', and 'safety'. These results suggest that the microbiological and sensory qualities of HMR production should be improved to meet consumer's expectations.
