In the present study, we investigated the quality, sensory characteristics and commercialization potential of a rice collet snack made with the addition of dried shrimp. “Mild” and “spicy” snack products were produced with an edible oil coating and mixed seasoning powder coating, respectively. The approximate composition of the mild and spicy snacks, respectively, were 2.44% and 2.24% for moisture, 8.52% and 8.64% for crude protein, 18.36% and 26.54% for crude lipids, 1.28% and 1.38% for ash, 1.1% and 1.2% for salt, and 0.61 and 0.62 for pH. The L (lightness), a (redness), b (yellowness), and ⊿E (color difference) values were higher for the mild snack than the spicy snack. The mild and spicy snack had values of 7,776.4 and 7,655.8 mg/100 g for total amino acids, and 221.6 and 253.5 mg/100 g for total free amino acids, respectively. The TBA (thiobarbituric acid) value did not differ significantly between the two types of snack. The hardness value of the spicy snack was higher than that of the mild snack, but there were no significant differences in flavor between the two products. The sensory evaluation score of the spicy snack was slightly higher than that of the mild snack. Organoleptic inspection indicated that both snacks had a favorable, unique taste.

This study was carried out to select Meju of a good quality through general composition analysis, organoleptic evaluation, and to conduct isolation, identification, and growth characteristics of main strain related to fermentation from selected Meju. Moisture and crude protein of Meju were 7.2∼28.8% and 32.7∼42.3%, respectively. The amino nitrogen contents of Kyongbuk and Chonbuk Mejus were 770.8 mg% and 239.9 mg%, respectively. And also, free amino acid and glutamic acid contents of Doenjangs made from Chonbuk and Kyongbuk Mejus were 4,169.6 mg% and 499.4 mg%, respectively. The result of sensory evaluation of Mejus collected from several regions showed Kyongbuk was the most suitable Meju in items of color, flavor, appearance and overall (p<0.05). The typical properties of B. lichenifomis NH20 strain isolated from Kyongbuk Meju showed gram positive, aerobic rod cell and motility. As major component among its cellular fatty acid composition, $C_{15:0}$ anteiso fatty acid, $C_{15:1}$ iso fatty acid, $C_{17:0}$ anteiso fatty acid, and $C_{17:0}$ iso fatty acid were 30.7, 28.9, 13.3 and 11.2%, respectively. It showed the same identification coefficient (0.653) compared to the standard strain. Therefore, it was identified to be B. licheniformis NH20 according to Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology and its fatty acid profiles. The optimum pH, temperature, salt content, and culture time of B. licheniformis NH20 were 7.0, 32$^{\circ}C$, 2%, and 9 hours, respectively.ctively.

Electron beam (EB) irradiation was applied to study microbial decontamination effects for kochujang powder by determining their microbiological and physicochemical qualities over gamma ray (GR) irradiation. The samples showed a high microbial population, such as 105~106 CFU/g of total aerobic bacteria, negative of yeasts & molds and coliforms. Total bacterial counts were decreased by 1~2 log cycles with EB irradiation at 5~7.5 kGy, and 10 kGy irradiation was enough to improve the microbiological quality by reducing populations to below 104CFU/g, which was similar to gamma energy. Such doses were effective for controlling the microbial growth in stored samples during storage for 4 months at room temperature. Decimal reduction doses (D10 value) on initial bacterial populations were 2.88~3.02 kGy in EB and 3.57~3.59 kGy in GR, which were influenced by initial populations and energy types applied. Based upon the above results, 7.5~10 kGy irradiation caused negligible changes in Hunter's color, capsaicin, fatty acid composition and organoleptic qualities. Considering the quality changes resulting from subsequent storage, such as a decrease in capsanthin content and an increase in TBA value in the samples, it is recommendable to irradiate kochujang powder at 7.5~10 kGy when used for food processing.

An investigation was carried out to improve the quality and yield of barley tea(water extracts) by modifying the roasting method. The modified methods employed were crushing the barley into 4-10 parts and soaking in water at room temperature for 20 minutes followed by roasting (light brown or dark brown) at $250^{\circ}C$ before boiling with water. The varieties of barley used for this study were Ol-bori(with hulls) and Youngsan-bori(without hulls) and the qualities measured were the physical, chemical and sensory characteristics of roasted barley and its extracts. The results showed that the higher solid yields in barley tea was obtained with an increase in soaking and roasting time. The solid yields increased rapidly with extraction time in boiling water until 30 minutes and then slowed down thereafter. However the intrinsic viscosity of barley tea was reduced by increase in soaking and roasting time. The color of barley tea expressed as Hunter L, a, b values showed that lower L value and higher a and b values were measured for those prepared without soaking and with more extensive roasting. Organoleptic evaluation clearly showed that the sensory quality of barley tea was significantly improved in intensity of odor and taste by crushing, soaking and dark brown roasting.

This study was performed to evaluate the physicochemical and quality characteristics of bread with Enteromorpha intenstinalis added. In order to compare the physical and organoleptic properties, 1 to 4% of E. intenstinalis powder was mixed with the flour. Among the physical characteristics of the dough, the absorption ratio in the farinogram and the degree of attenuation increased with increasing amounts of E. intenstinalis powder, whereas the development time, dough stability, the degree of extension, the degree of resistance, and R/E became reduced. In the amylogram, there was no difference in the gelatinization starting temperature among the samples, but the maximum viscosity gradually increased according to increasing amounts of E. intenstinalis powder. Also, a sensory evaluation was carried out in terms of acceptability (color, flavor, moistness, tenderness, mouth feel, and overall acceptability). Taken together, the 2% treatment showed the highest evaluation values, as compared to the other treatments.

Four different fermentation methods of Korean cucumber pickles were compared with conventional method, pickling in 10% NaCl solution at $25^{\circ}C$, in order to improve the storage stability. The methods studied were brining the cucumbers in hot($90^{\circ}C$) 10% NaCl solution(method A), addition of KCl and $CaCl_2$ into the hot salt solution(method B) addition of a sodium salts mixture of phosphates, nitrite and citrate into half fermented pickles prepared by method B(method C), substituted nitrite and citrate with KCl in method C(method D). It was found from results that the method C and D reduced the decreasing rate of pH very significantly by more than 3 fold and method B also showed the reducing effect. However, higher total acidity was measured for method C and D, which was opposite to pH results. Changes in hardness of cucumber showed little difference to control while color of brining solution exhibited some difference in their Hunter values. Organoleptic comparison showed a clear effect of salts mixtures by receiving the significant higher scores in fresh cucumber flavor and lower values in yeast moldy and sour flavor for method C and D when those were compared to control.

This study was carried out to investigate the influences of hydrocolloids on suppression of retrogradation in the Korean rice cake. Hydrocolloids were influenced to the textural characteristics of the Korean rice cake. In particular arabic gum and carrageenan had the effect of suppressing the retrogradation. Cohesiveness of the Korean rice cake added with hydrocolloids was shown to be high compared to control in organoleptic characteristics. Hydrocolloids exhibited slightly effective in retarding surface color change of the Korean rice cake. Onset temperature of gelatinization in thermal characteristics showed somewhat low in case of addition of arabic gum into the Korean rice cake and was followed by carrageenan, guar gum, gelatin and locust bean gum in onset temperature of gelatinization order. All samples added with hydrocolloids had low values in change of melting enthalphy and their range was 12.8 ∼ 17.7 J/g. The Korean rice cake added with arabic gum was lowest in melting enthalphy. The recrystallinity of the Korean rice cake added with arabic gum was greatly low compared to rice cake without hydrocolloids. Melting spreadability of the Korean rice cake added with arabic gum or carrageenan was superior in thermal characteristics. The value of exponent of Avrami was 0.97 ∼ 1.12 in study of Avrami equation. In conclusion carrageenan and arabic gum would have a suppressive effect of retrogradation in the Korean rice cake.

To examine the effects of edible coatings on the quality of fresh-cut fruits, Shingo pear was coated with several concentration of albumin, WSF(whole soy flour), dextrin and SPE (sucrose polyester) solution and quality characteristics, sensory evaluation and respiration rate were determined during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. Weight loss rate was reduced in coated fresh-cut pears. 2% dextrin and 1% WSF for pears were more effective in reducing weight loss rate during storage. In preventing the browning of fresh cut fruits, browning was inhibited by coating with 0.5% WSF, 1% albumin, 3% dextrin for pears. Compared with non-coated pears, 0.5% WSF, 1% albumin and 3% dextrin coating were effective in inhibiting the color changes. Even if hardness had a tendency to decrease in coated and no71-coated fruits during storage dextrin coating induced texture softening in fresh-cut pears. The changes in decrease of titratable acidity and vitamin C content and increase of pH and soluble solid were recessed by coatings but there was no differences in accordance with coating materials. Sensory evaluation of coated pears was conducted in according to coating materials and concentrations. Pears coated with 0.5% albumin, 4% dextrin, 1.0% SPE and 0.5% WSF recorded high sensory score. Among the tested coating materials and concentrations, 4% dextrin was the best in all organoleptic quality of coated pears. Respiration rate was repressed by coating with WSF and dextrin in pears.
