  • This study was conducted to investigate the properties of wet noodle when different concentrations of Prunus mume juice were added to the wheat flour. The characteristics of wet noodle including cooking properties, color, mechanical texture properties, and sensory quality were determined. The compositions of Prunus mume were 88.19% moisture, 0.45% crude ash, 4.04% citric acid and 0.41% total sugars. The pH of Prunus mume was 2.76. The moisture absorption rate, weight, volume and turbidity of cooked noodles added with Prunus mume juice were lower than reference sample. When the amount of Prunus mume juice increased, the Hunter L(brightness) value, a(redness) value of cooked noodles decreased but b(yellowness) value increased. Instrumental rheological characteristics of wet noodle containing Prunus mume juice were measured with a texture analyzer. The hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of wet noodle with 20% Prunus mume juice were higher than others. However, the hardness of cooked noodle decreased with the increase in the amount of Prunus mume juice into noodle. The adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of cooked noodles added with Prunus mume juice were higher than reference sample. The results of sensory evaluation of cooked noodles containing Prunus mume juice indicated that the appearance, color, taste and chewiness of the cooked noodle with 10% Prunus mume juice showed the higher preference than others. Based on cooking properties, rheological and sensory evaluation, addition of 10% Prunus mume juice suggested to be acceptable for processing wet noodle.

  • The antimicrobial properties of extracts of Prunus mume were tested on Salmonella paratyphimurium and S. typhimurium. First, the Prumus mume was extracted with methanol at several temperatures, and then fractionation of the methanol extracts from Prunus mume was carried out by using petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate or butanol. Secondly, absorption column chromatoraphy (using a Diaion HP 20) was conducted to eliminate some water soluble materials that might inhibit the antimicrobial activity of some extracts. The antimicrobial activitry of each of the Prunus mume extracts was determined using a paper disc method against several food-borne pathogens, The growth inhibition curve was determine using butanol extracts of Prunus mume against Salmonella typhimurium. The extraction temperature did not have any significant effect on the yield of the extract or on the level of antimicrobial activity. The butanol extract of Prunus mume showed strong antimicrobial activity against Salmonella paratyphimurium and S. typhimurium; a 1,000 ppm of butanol extract of Prunus mume retared the growth of S. typhimurium up to 36 hours.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine the most desirable mixture ratio of Maesil (Prunus Mume) concentrate torice flour for the preparation of Sulgidduk. The five different levels of Maesil (Prunus Mume) concentrate were 0%, 4%,8%, 12%, and 16% and were stored over 3 days. The results of this study were as follows. First, the water activity of Sulgidduk was significantly increased upon addition of Maesil(Prunus Mume) concentrate to rice flour. However, in terms of mechanical texture characteristics, the hardness of Sulgidduk was decreased, Maesil(Prunus Mume) concentrate was added to Sulgidduk. The control was $764.58{\pm}5.3\;g/cm^2$. Each amounts of added Maesil(Prunus Mume) concentrate to rice flour (4%, 8%, 12%, and 16%) resulted in hardness levels of $633.44{\pm}13.0\;g/cm^2$, $617.64{\pm}16.2\;g/cm^2$, $585.31{\pm}27.5\;g/cm^2$, and $350.98{\pm}10.2\;g/cm^2$, respectively. In addition, both gumminess and cohesiveness of Sulgidduk increased with increasing amounts of added Maesil (Prunus Mume) concentrate to rice flour. Regarding the color value of Sulgidduk, with added Maesil(Prunus Mume) concentrate the L-value decreased, while both a-and b-value increased. In the sensory evaluation, surface color, taste, and flavor were improved with increasing amounts of Maesil(Prunus Mume) concentrate, whereas texture decreased. Based on sensory evaluation, Maesil (Prunus Mume) concentrate resulted in intensified color, taste, and flavor of Sulgidduk. Consequently, 4% to 8% Maesil (Prunus Mume) concentrate to rice flour was determined to the best formula for improving Sulgidduk in terms of sensory qualities such as moistness, color, taste, flavor and so on.
