The characteristics of sponge cakes prepared with replacement of 30, 50, 75, or 100% of sucrose with isomaltooligosaccharide (IOS), fructooligosanharide (FOS), maltitol symp (MS), or maltitol powder (MP), were examined through physical measurement and sensory evaluation. The specific gravities of foams and cake batters were not significantly different among samples (p .0.05). The use of IOS increased the viscosity of cake batter. The cakes containing IOS, FOS, MS, or MP were softer than control cakes (sucrose 100%). Especially cakes prepared with 30, 50％ IOS, or 75, 100％ MP, appeared to be fragile. When increasing levels of IOS or FOS were incorporated in the cake formula, cake crust color was getting darker than that of control cake, whereas cake containing maltitol was getting lighter as the levels of replacement increased. Generally, the volume of cake containing FOS were superior to that of control cake, whereas those of cakes containing above 50% MP were inferior. Sensory analysis of experimental cakes did not show significant differences from the control cake for softness, springiness and gumminess. Sweetness increased replacing the sucrose with FOS, MS or MP (30, 50%) and moistness increased using IOS, FOS, MS, or MP without agreement with moisture contents of cakes. Replacement of 30, 50% sucrose with MS or 30％ with MP did not affect greatly the physical measurements or sensory characteristics studied.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristic quality of jeungpyun added Paecilomyces japonica with different fermentation time. The volume of jeungpyun added Paecilomyces japonica was more increased after fermentation. The volume was decreased when the fermentation was progressed. The pH was 5.1 before fermentation and the pH decreased when the fermentation was progressed. Moisture content was more increased as the time of fermentation became longer. Hunter color test, L value and b value appeared the highest after 1st fermentation, and it appeared lesser when the time of fermentation became longer. In measurement of texture, hardness showed the highest value when 90 minutes passed after the 2nd fermentation. Gumminess and brittleness were tend to increase when it have longer fermentation time. In scanning electron microscopic observation, organization of sponges was tend to break down as the fermentation time was longer. Sensory properties showed that color intensity was more strong when second fermentation was progressed, and hardness, toughness, sourness were high when the fermentation time was longer. In conclusion overall acceptability of jeungpyun, 3$0^{\circ}C$, 3 hours after 1st fermentation and 2nd fermentation for 30 minutes, 35$^{\circ}C$ showed the most preference.

$N_2O$ and $CH_4$, Greenhouse gas emission, Forest soil, Closed chamber technique, Soil uptake $N_2O$ and $CH_4$ are important greenhouse gases (GHG) along with $CO_2$ influencing greatly on climate change. Their soil emission rates are highly affected by bio-geo-chemical processes in C and N through the land-atmosphere interface. The forest ecosystems are generally considered to be net emission for $N_2O$; however, net sinks for $CH_4$ by soil uptake. Soil $N_2O$ and $CH_4$ emissions were measured at Mt. Taewha in Gwangju, Kyeonggi, Korea. Closed chamber technique was used for surface gas emissions from forest soil during period from May to October 2012. Gas emission measurement was conducted mostly on daytime (from 09:00 to 18:00 LST) during field experiment period (total 25 days). The gas samples collected from chamber for $N_2O$ and $CH_4$ were analyzed by gas chromatography. Soil parameters were also measured at the sampling plot. GHG averages emissions during the experimental period were $3.11{\pm}16.26{\mu}g m^{-2}hr^{-1}$ for $N_2O$, $-1.36{\pm}11.3{\mu}gm^{-2}hr^{-1}$ for $CH_4$, respectively. The results indicated that forest soil acted as a source of $N_2O$, while it acted like a sink of $CH_4$ on average. On monthly base, means of $N_2O$ and $CH_4$ flux during May (spring) were $8.38{\pm}48.7{\mu}gm^{-2}hr^{-1}$, and $-3.21{\pm}31.39{\mu}gm^{-2}hr^{-1}$, respectively. During August (summer) both GHG emissions were found to be positive (averages of $2.45{\pm}20.11{\mu}gm^{-2}hr^{-1}$ for $N_2O$ and $1.36{\pm}9.09{\mu}gm^{-2}hr^{-1}$ for $CH_4$); which they were generally released from soil. During September (fall) $N_2O$ and $CH_4$ soil uptakes were observed and their means were $-1.35{\pm}12.78{\mu}gm^{-2}hr^{-1}$ and $-2.56{\pm}11.73{\mu}gm^{-2}hr^{-1}$, respectively. $N_2O$ emission was relatively higher in spring rather than other seasons. This could be due to dry soil condition during spring experimental period. It seems that soil moisture and temperature mostly influence gas production and consumption, and then emission rate in subsoil environment. Other soil parameters like soil pH and chemical composition were also discussed with respect to GHG emissions.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality comparison of M. longissimus from 4 crossbred wild boars(wild boar ♂×Duroc ♀, 113kg, 1 barrow and 3 gilts, CWB) reared outdoor, 5 Korean native black pigs(64kg, 5 barrows, KNP) and 5 modern genotype pigs(Landrace×Yorkshire×Duroc, 114kg, 5 barrows, MGP) reared indoor. The samples were stored at 2±0.2℃ for 12 days and utilized in the quality measurement. The moisture content was significantly higher in CWB than in KNP(p<0.05), however crude fat content was significantly lower in CWB than in KNP(p<0.05). The pH value of CWB was significantly lower than that of MGP during 12 days of storage(p<0.05). Therefore the CWB showed significantly lower water-holding capacity than MGP(p<0.05). The L*, a*, b* and C* values of CWB were significantly lower than those of KNP during 12 days of storage(p<0.05), however those of CWB were significantly higher than those of MGP after 3 and 6 days of storage(p<0.05). In fatty acid composition, the CWB had higher unsaturated fatty acid including linoleic acid, arachidonic acid and lower saturated fatty acid. However, the lipid oxidation of CWB was delayed during storage compared with KNP and MGP. The aroma patterns by principal component analysis(PCA) from electronic nose was discriminately different among 3 different pork at 0 and 12 day of storage.

Three types of Kochujang(soybean-red pepper paste) were prepared with glutinous rice flour (group A), glutinous rice grain (group B) or the mixture of flour and grain (group C) to investigate some chemical composition, enzyme activities and the texture during aging period. 'There were no remarkable differences in the contents of moisture, crude protein, crude fat, minerals and alcohols, titrable acidity and pH among the tested groups. Amino nitrogen content, acidic protease and saccharogenic amylase activities were measured to be higher values for group A whereas reducing sugar content higher values for group B. All tested groups contained Ca, Cu, K, Mn, Mg, P and Fe, particularly higher amount of K but a trace of Cu, Mn and Fe. All tested groups showed higher content of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, cystine, proline and lower content of histidine and valine 60 days after the preparation. The total free amino acid content was 16.49 mg/g for group A, 13.68 mg/g for group B and 15.84 mg/g for group C. The measurement of texture showed high values of hardness and adhesiveness with group A immediately after the preparation and with group B at the end of aging. Cohesiveness and springiness were high with group A while low with group B throughout aging period.

The methods determining the growth rate of mold on beans were investigated in order to compare the growth of Aspergillus oryzae on lupinseed to that on soybean. The growth of A. oryzae on cooked whole or paste form of bean substrates was evaluated by the measurements of colony diameter and hyphae length of the mold. The mold showed characteristic lag times to form the colony on different types of substrate. The growth of colony diameter was coincided with the increase in $\alpha$-amino nitrogen content of the substrate when the moisture level of the substrates was similar each other. The colony diameter and the cultivation time after the lag period showed a straight line relationship, from which the growth rate was estimated. in general, lupinseed paste allowed faster growth of A. oryzae than soybean paste at the initial growth phase. The lag time to form the colony was 24.0 hrs on lupinseed paste and 44.4 hrs on soybean paste. The growth rate after colony formation was, however, 7.05 mm/day for lupinseed paste and 8.83mm/day for soybean paste, which indicated that the growth rate after the lag period was faster on soybean compared to lupinseed. The sporulation time of the mold was related to the lag time for the colony formation. The measurement of hyphae length on whole beans could be used as a simple and rapid method of estimating the growth property of mold on different substrates.11 showed that the growth of A. oryzae was partly hindered by the thick hull of the lupinseed.

Vegetable fatty acid solid soap requires a drying process for moisture evaporation and hardness after being manufactured through saponification. Although the soap is manufactured by mixing additives mainly from natural ingredients, existing studies have focused primarily on the usability of vegetable solid soap. Consequently, research into the physical properties of vegetable fatty acid solid soap mixed with natural ingredients has been unsatisfactory. Therefore, this study attempted to compare and observe the changes in the physical properties (pH, surface tension, critical micelle concentration, and cleansing power) of solid soap in accordance with the drying period and additives (tea tree E.O and $TiO_2$) using pH paper, the Du Nouy measurement method, sedimentation method, and ultrasound washer. Regardless of the mixture with additives, vegetable fatty acid solid soap showed the same pH, and there was no change in the pH while maintaining pH 8 beginning from the $2^{nd}$ weeks to $12^{th}$ weeks of drying. In addition, as a result of measuring the surface tension and CMC, regardless of the drying period, only the soap added with $TiO_2$ showed an even value of 62.5mg/L, whereas the other soap specimens showed a decline in CMC to 25mg/L on the fourth week of drying. As a result of measuring the detergency, the removal efficiency of vegetable fatty acid solid soap mixed with tea tree E.O and $TiO_2$ and dried for four weeks was 4.50~4.65%, which was higher than that of the vegetable fatty acid solid soap without additives (3.62~3.92%).

Long term performance of concrete pavement significantly depends on the given construction and environmental condition. It means that random cracks and extreme crack width due to inappropriate quality control at the early age might lead to decreasing the pavement service life. The temperature and moisture during the construction, cement and aggregate types, curing condition are major components to affect the quality of the concrete pavement at the early age. First of all, the high temperature differential, that is made by increasing air temperature and the heat of cement hydration, is known as the major contributor to severe cracks. In this study, tent covering was used for controlling temperature of the concrete slab. The field measurement data indicates that the effect of the tent covering is very significant to decrease possibilities of random crack occurrence and curling stress and enhance the long-term concrete strength. HIPERPAV(High PERformance PAVing software), a program predicting the strength and stress of an earty-age concrete pavement (72 hour after placement), is used for simulating the effects of tent covering. The HIPERPAVE results showed that the section with the tent covering has higher reliability than the section without the tent covering by 22.5%. In details, reliability is increased 72.5% (without the tent covering) to 95% (with the tent covering).

The present study was performed to develop healthier sweeteners for brown rice Dasik with chia seed powder. The quality features and sensory evaluation were tested for brown rice Dasik with chia seed powder added with five different sweeteners and the results are as follows. The Dasik (DS) with isomalto-oligosaccharide and starch syrup received the highest scores on moisture content tests. The results from hardness tests identified the DS with agave syrup as the hardest, and the results from the adhesiveness test verified that the DS with agave syrup as well as the DS with starch syrup produce the most adhesive DS. The results of the springiness test show that the DS with starch syrup has higher springiness than other sweetners. The highest score for the chewiness and cohesiveness tests was the DS with starch syrup, while the DS with isomalto-oligosaccharide received the highest score on the gumminess test. The results of the chromaticity measurement test found that the DS with starch syrup showed the highest score of 'L' and the lowest score with fructo-oligosaccharide. In addition, the highest score of 'a' was DS with isomalto-oligosaccharide and the lowest score of 'b' was the DS with starch syrup. The results of sugar content displayed that the DS with starch syrup was the highest and the DS with fructo-oligosaccharide was the lowest score. The results of sensory evaluation verified that color did not influence evaluators' preference investigation. The results of sweet flavor test found that the DS with honey and the DS with agave syrup had the most preferred by participants, but there was no statistically significant difference among all five different sweeteners from the sweet taste test. Furthermore, the DS with agave syrup received the highest score while the DS with agave syrup scored the lowest from the hardness preference test. General preference evaluation identified the highest score with the addition of fructo-oligosaccharide and the lowest score with the addition of isomalto-oligosaccharide. Thus, the findings of the present study provide the meaningful results to demonstrate the DS with fructo-oligosaccharide is the most suitable sweetener to manufacture brown rice DS added by chia seed powder, and this result will help marketers with creating meaningful strategies and with developing similar products using chia seed powder.

This study was conducted to compare the food quality of domesticated species. Consumers surveyed for safe food intake and proper culture of food distribution. The results of the comparison study are as follows. Muscle moisture content, protein content, and fat content. K, P, and C showed relatively high values in the muscle of the sea bream. Fe showed low contents. As a result of measuring heavy metal component, Cd was not detected in sea bream and mullet, but $0.01{\pm}0.00mg/kg$ was detected in red mine. Other heavy metals were below the reference value or were not detected. Electrophoresis results showed that the band appeared at in red minefish. In the case of sea bream and swordfish, no distinctive features of the band were shown. In the case of sea bream, there was little difference in food science between the similar fish species and the red sea bream fish, but price was different. An environment should be created for consumers to buy the right ingredients at the price they want. It is necessary to educate consumers about food ingredients immediately.
