Black ginger, obtained from steaming and drying process, provides the various functional properties. This study was performed to investigate the optimum processing conditions for black ginger with high content of biologically active substance such as anti-oxidations. Optimum processing conditions such as temperature and time for black ginger was determined by response surface methodology (RSM) with manufacturing process and functionality. The optimum steaming condition was determined 6 hours at 93.2$^{\circ}C$, and 82.7 mg/L DPPH scavenging activities was obtained at this condition. The black ginger drink was made with black ginger extracts, Japanese apricot, and honey. Interaction effects of these ingredients were investigated by modified distance based on design and analyzed by linear, nonlinear regression model, and RSM. The optimization of mixture ratio was made by statistical modeling using DPPH scavenging activities and sensory properties which are the important target constraints in drink. Total flavonoids showed a linear canonical form, while preference and antiradical activity showed a nonlinear canonical form indicating the higher interaction among mixtures. The response trace plot revealed that antiradical activity, sensory properties and total flavonoids were quite sensitive to the drink blending. The optimum formulation of the drink was set at 14.2% of black ginger extracts, 5% of Japanese apricot, and 10.8% honey.

This study's objective is to determine the optimum mixing ratio of yam (Dioscorea japonica THUMB) powder and egg for the preparation of pasta. Response surface methodology revealed 10 experimental points, including two replicates for yam powder and egg. Yam pasta formulation was optimized using rheology. Yellowness(p<0.05) and redness displayed a linear model pattern, while lightness was represented by a quadratic model. The texture(p<0.05), including flavor(p<0.05) and overall quality(p<0.05) was measured as a sensory evaluation. In addition, mechanical properties displayed significant values in adhesiveness(p<0.05). These results showed that yam powder affects flavor and appearance, and egg affects adhesiveness and overall quality. The optimum formulations processed by numerical and graphical optimization were determined at 19.50 g of yam powder and 28.07 g of egg.

This study was performed to find the optimum ratio of ingredients for the manufacture of kiwifruit jam. The experiment was designed according to the D-optimal design of RSM (response surface methodology), which included 18 experimental points with 4 replicates for three independent variables (sugar $35{\sim}60%$, pectin $0.1{\sim}1.0.%$, kiwifruit paste $0.37{\sim}0.90%$). The compositional and functional properties of the prepared products were measured, and these values were applied to mathematical models. A canonical form and trace plot showed the influence of each variable on the quality attributes of the final product mixture. By use of the F-test, viscosity, color values (L, a, b), and sensory characteristics (color) were expressed by a linear model, while the L color value and select sensory characteristics (smell, taste, overall acceptance) were also expressed by a quadratic model. The optimum formulations by the numerical and graphical methods, were similar, and with the numerical method it presented as: sugar, pectin, and barley sproutling powder at 49.7%, 0.5%, and 0.6%, respectively. The above results demonstrate the feasibility of preparing kiwifruit jam added with barley sproutling powder, and therefore, the commercialization of a kiwifruit jam marketed as a functional food is deemed possible.

Response surface methodology was used to predict the optimum conditions of explosive puffing process for ginseng. A central composite design was used to monitor the effect of moisture content and puffing pressure on dependent variables such as functional compounds (extract yield, crude saponin, acidic polysaccharide, and total phenolic content) and sensory properties. Correlation coefficients $(R^2)$ of models for crude saponin, acidic polysaccharide, and total phenolic content were 0.9176 (p<0.05), 0.9494 (p<0.05), and 0.9878 (p<0.001), respectively. Functional compounds increased with decreasing moisture content and increasing puffing pressure. Overall palatability was high at 15-20% moisture content and 98-294 kPa of puffing pressure. On the basis of superimposed contour maps for functional compounds and overall palatability of puffed ginseng, the optimum ranges of puffing conditions were 10-17% moisture content and 294-392 kPa puffing pressure.

This study was performed to examine the optimum addition amount of Hizikia fusiformis powder to be used with rice flour in the preparation of Hizikia fusiformis Sulgidduk (traditional rice cake). Hizikia fusiformis powder was added to rice powder at ratios of 5, 10, 15 and 20% (w/w). The moisture content of Sulgidduk was increased with the addition of Hizikia fusiformis powder, whereas the pH content was decreased. The addition also lowered the lightness and yellowness values but increased the greenness value. Mineral contents were increased. Hardness, springiness, and brittleness were decreased, and cohesiveness was increased as the added powder content also increased. In the sensory evaluation of Hizikia fusiformis Sulgidduk, color, flavor, taste, softness, chewiness, moistness, cohesiveness, and overall acceptability characteristics were all highest at the 10% addition level. Thus it can be proposed that this is the ideal level of Hizikia fusiformis addition in terms of the sensory properties of the cooked product.

Sensory evaluation method was used to develop a type jujube tea the organoleptic properties were evaluated with regard to the optimum sugar content, clarity, drinking temperature and fruit pulp content of the jujube tea. Clarified jujube tea extracted from 25% by weight of dry jujube fruits and 75% water was preferred to those from 15%, 20% and 30% jujube fruites although those from 20% and 30% were not significantly different at 5%level. In spite of the average acceptability score of cloudy jujube tea with 5% of added fruit pulp was not significantly different from that of clarified one, the more fruit pulp in the tea products the worse its acceptability. Cold jujube tea was preferred to warm and hot ones, but these were not significantly different.

Objectives : To further enhance the business value of domestic Schisandrae Fructus, new products composed of modified Gyeongok-go were developed. Their preferences and antioxidant behaviors were compared under different manufacturing processes. Methods : Sensory evaluation was carried out on a 7-point scale by a taste panel. Additionally, the antioxidant activities were investigated in vitro against ABTS[2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] and DPPH(2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). Results : The differences among each sample were not statistically significant in sensory evaluation. In contrast, the antioxidant properties of each sample can have up to twice effect distinction at a final concentration of 2.5 mg/ml. Conclusions : Manufacturing methods, while having smaller effect on sensory evaluation, greatly affected the antioxidant properties. As a consequence, the optimum manufacture conditions need to be established using different manufacture conditions and activity search methods.
