This study aimed to find optimum addition of jujube powder to glutinous rice in the preparation of daechu injeolmi (rice cake). The daechu injeolmi added with 10% jujube powder gave the highest moisture content of 52.9% among treatments. Higher amount of jujube powder up to 14% resulted in lower 'L' and higher 'a' values of the cake. Hardness of the cake showed the lowest value for the 10% jujbe-added cake during the storage of 24 hours, while it was so for 14% jujube-added cake after 36 hour storage. Little change was observed with time in the cohesiveness for the cake added with jujube powder in more than in the 8% level. 10% addition of the jujube powder was found to be the best recipe based on the sensory qualities of softness, chewiness, moistness and overall acceptability, which were also well correlated with physical properties.

Gamma irradiation as a new physical treatment was applied to comparative researches with a conventional chemical fumigant on the microbiologicai and physicochemical qualities of selected agricultural products such as powdered hot pepper soybean paste,. oyste.mushroom powder, carrot flake, and raw sesame. The microorganisms contaminated in the sample, including total bacteria, thermophiles, acid tolerant bacteria, fungi, osmophilic molds and coliforms were sterilized with irradiation doses of 7-10 kGy, while ethylene oxide (E.O) fumigation proved insufficient for the destruction of them. 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.

Rice quality is considered to have two general meanings; 1) milling, cooking, and processing quality, which refer to suitability of the grain for a particular end-use; and 2) physical quality, which means cleanliness, soundness, and freedom from foreign materials. Grain type is associated with specific milling, cooking, and processing characteristics. Thus, this experiment was conducted to classify the grain type categories and marketing grades for Korean leading rice varieties. Length: width ratio of brown rice kernel ranged from 1.57 to 2.25 and most of varieties belonged to short grain except Tongil type rice varieties. Mean of length: width ratio of brown rice kernel was 1.77 and coefficient of variance was 4.79％ in short grain type varieties. Grain shape could be further classified into 5 types by length:width ratio of brown rice kernel; 1 type(less than 1.75), 2 type(1.76∼1.80), 3 type(1.81∼1.90), 4 type(1.91∼2.00), and 5 type (greater than 2.00). For 1 and 2 type of varieties, woven wire sieve having 1.7mm openings showed better whole-kernel yields for special marketing grade, and sieve having 2.0mm openings for 3 and 4 type of varieties. Grain type which classified into 5 categories was not associated with physicochemical and cooking characteristics of rice grain, but sensory evaluation of cooked rice showed better score for 1 type varieties in terms of appearance, gloss, flavor, texture, stickiness, and taste.

In the industrial production of fish snacks using frozen surimi, molding the surimi mixture requires an expensive automated machine. This study investigated the efficacy of freeze molding without machinery molding in the production of Alaska pollock Theragra chalcogramma surimi snacks. At 90 minutes after deep freezing at $-80^{\circ}C$, the cutting ease and shape retention of the surimi mixture were superior. The freezing-molded surimi snack had a higher TVB-N (total volatile basic nitrogen) level (3.59 mg/100 g) than that (1.50 mg/100 g) of the normally molded surimi snack. Freezing did not affect the microstructure of the surimi snack or its hardness, which is an important physical property of snack products. The freezing-molded and normally molded snacks did not differ significantly in terms of color or appearance, or in any other aspect of the sensory evaluation. Our findings demonstrate that freeze molding does not induce changes in the quality of surimi snacks. Therefore, molding by freezing treatment could be used to produce surimi snacks at small- and mid-sized seafood companies.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of red yeast rice addition on the physical characteristics of sourdough starters ($SD1{\sim}4$) and the quality characteristics of sourdough bread (CSB, $SDB1{\sim}3$). Moisture contents of red yeast rice, wheat flour, and rye flour were 6.15, 12.53, and 8.56%; ash contents were 0.15, 0.44, and 1.64%; protein contents were 7.30, 12.57, and 11.18%; crude lipid contents were 0.97, 1.16, and 2.49%, respectively. The pH decreased with increasing red yeast rice addition. Reducing sugar and total sugar increased with increasing red yeast rice addition. Lactic acid bacteria were not detected from 0 day for all samples and was maximum on the 2nd day. The yeast counts of SD1 were not detected from $0{\sim}4th$ day, but $SD2{\sim}4$ increased until the 3rd day. Peak time, peak value, and width of tail of CSB were higher than $SDB1{\sim}3$, and they increased with increasing red yeast rice contents of sourdough. The fermentation expansive power of $SDB1{\sim}3$ was higher than that of CSB. Baking loss and specific volume of SDB1 were higher than other samples and when baking loss of CSB and SDB1${\sim}$3 increased, the specific volume increased. L values decreased with increasing red yeast rice contents of sourdough bread whereas, a and b values increased. Springiness and brittleness of CSB and gumminess of SCB1 were lower than other samples. Springiness, brittleness, and gumminess increased with increasing red yeast rice content of sourdough bread. The sensory evaluation indicated that color, hardness, springiness, sweetness, and sourness increased with increasing red yeast rice content of sourdough bread. Aircell non-uniformity of SDB1 was lower than other samples, whereas off-flavor was higher than other samples.

The purpose of this work was to improve the quality of Jeungpyun made with rice sourdough, which was prepared using a mixed culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (L. mesenteroides) strains, and to also develop a new process for Jeungpyun preparation using the rice sourdough. The Jeungpyun was manufactured through proofing for 3 hr at $30^{\circ}C$ and steaming steps after mixing the ingredients, including pre-fermented rice sourdough, rice powder and water. After proofing, the expansion ratio of the Jeungpyun dough ranged from 109 to 135% and the pH was decreased to pH 3.80$\sim$4.09. The volumes of the Jeungpyun samples prepared with rice sourdough were 18$\sim$45% greater than that of the control. In particular, the Jeungpyun made with rice sourdough containing 10% brown rice (CM-10) had a significantly greater volume (266 mL). Also the rice sourdough Jeungpyun samples had well developed dense porous structures compared to the control. According to sensory evaluations, the sample prepared with rice sourdough containing 10% brown rice was preferred. Finally, the physical quality (texture properties) and microbiological shelf-life of the Jeungpyun was improved by using the rice sourdough.

The endeavors enhancing the grain quality of high-yielding japonica rice were steadily continued during 1980s∼1990s along with the self-sufficiency of rice production and the increasing demands of high-quality rices. During this time, considerably great, progress and success was obtained in development of high-quality japonica cultivars and qualify evaluation techniques including the elucidation of interrelationship between the physicochemical properties of rice grain and the physical or palatability components of cooked rice. In 1990s, some high-quality japonica rice caltivars and special rices adaptable for food processing such as large kernel, chalky endosperm aromatic and colored rices were developed and its objective preference and utility was also examined by a palatability meter, rapid-visco analyzer and texture analyzer. The water uptake rate and the maximum water absorption ratio showed significantly negative correlations with the K/Mg ratio and alkali digestion value(ADV) of milled rice. The rice materials showing the higher amount of hot water absorption exhibited the larger volume expansion of cooked rice. The harder rices with lower moisture content revealed the higher rate of water uptake at twenty minutes after soaking and the higher ratio of maximum water uptake under the room temperature condition. These water uptake characteristics were not associated with the protein and amylose contents of milled rice and the palatability of cooked rice. The water/rice ratio (in w/w basis) for optimum cooking was averaged to 1.52 in dry milled rices (12% wet basis) with varietal range from 1.45 to 1.61 and the expansion ratio of milled rice after proper boiling was average to 2.63(in v/v basis). The major physicochemical components of rice grain associated with the palatability of cooked rice were examined using japonica rice materials showing narrow varietal variation in grain size and shape, alkali digestibility, gel consistency, amylose and protein contents, but considerable difference in appearance and torture of cooked rice. The glossiness or gross palatability score of cooked rice were closely associated with the peak. hot paste and consistency viscosities of viscogram with year difference. The high-quality rice variety “Ilpumbyeo” showed less portion of amylose on the outer layer of milled rice grain and less and slower change in iodine blue value of extracted paste during twenty minutes of boiling. This highly palatable rice also exhibited very fine net structure in outer layer and fine-spongy and well-swollen shape of gelatinized starch granules in inner layer and core of cooked rice kernel compared with the poor palatable rice through image of scanning electronic mcroscope. Gross sensory score of cooked rice could be estimated by multiple linear regression formula, deduced from relationship between rice quality components mentioned above and eating quality of cooked rice, with high Probability of determination. The ${\alpha}$ -amylose-iodine method was adopted for checking the varietal difference in retrogradation of cooked rice. The rice cultivars revealing the relatively slow retrogradation in aged cooked rice were Ilpumbyeo, Chucheongbyeo, Sasanishiki, Jinbubyeo and Koshihikari. A Tongil-type rice, Taebaegbyeo, and a japonica cultivar, Seomjinbyeo, shelved the relatively fast deterioration of cooked rice. Generally, the better rice cultivars in eating quality of cooked rice showed less retrogiadation and much sponginess in cooled cooked rice. Also, the rice varieties exhibiting less retrogradation in cooled cooked rice revealed higher hot viscosity and lower cool viscosity of rice flour in amylogram. The sponginess of cooled cooked rice was closely associated with magnesium content and volume expansion of cooked rice. The hardness-changed ratio of cooked rice by cooling was negatively correlated with solids amount extracted during boiling and volume expansion of cooked rice. The major physicochemical properties of rice grain closely related to the palatability of cooked rice may be directly or indirectly associated with the retrogradation characteristics of cooked rice. The softer gel consistency and lower amylose content in milled rice revealed the higher ratio of popped rice and larger bulk density of popping. The stronger hardness of rice grain showed relatively higher ratio of popping and the more chalky or less translucent rice exhibited the lower ratio of intact popped brown rice. The potassium and magnesium contents of milled rice were negatively associated with gross score of noodle making mixed with wheat flour in half and the better rice for noodle making revealed relatively less amount of solid extraction during boiling. The more volume expansion of batters for making brown rice bread resulted the better loaf formation and more springiness in rice bread. The higher protein rices produced relatively the more moist white rice bread. The springiness of rice bread was also significantly correlated with high amylose content and hard gel consistency. The completely chalky and large gram rices showed better suitability for fermentation and brewing. Our breeding efforts on rice quality improvement for the future should focus on enhancement of palatability of cooked rice and marketing qualify as well as the diversification in morphological and physicochemical characteristics of rice grain for various value-added rice food processings.

The objective of this study was to investigate the physical and chemical composition, fatty acid profile and sensory property of horse meat according to meat quality grade (1 and 2) and cuts (loin, chuck roll and top round). The lipid content of loin was significantly higher (p<0.05) in grade 1 (4.65%) compared with grade 2 (2.31%), whereas moisture content was lower (p<0.05) in grade 1 than in grade 2. The pH value was significantly lower (p<0.05) in loin than in other cuts regardless of meat quality grade. Shear force value of loin was significantly different (p<0.05) between grades 1 (5.87 $kg/cm^2$) and 2 (10.86 $kg/cm^2$). Water-holding capacity values of loin, chuck roll and top round were not different (p>0.05) between grades 1 and 2. Meat color values ($L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$) of loin, chuck roll and top round were not different (p>0.05) between grades 1 and 2. Palmitoleic acid of loin in grade 1 (11.39%) was higher (p<0.05) than that in grade 2 (5.36%). Stearic acid of loin in grade 1(3.58%) was lower (p<0.05) than that in grade 2 (7.02%). Overall palatability of loin, chuck roll and top round did not differ (p>0.05) between grades 1 and 2. Therefore, meat quality grade had mainly affected lipid and moisture contents, shear force, palmitoleic acid and stearic acid of horse loin; and horse loin of grade 2 had lower pH and higher $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$ than the other cuts.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a fresh chlorella powder on yield, quality and self-life of organic soybean tofu. After added with a fresh chlorella powder, yields, physical properties, color, shelf-life and sensory properties of the organic soybean tofu added with chlorella powder was compared to the properties of soybean tofu. The yield of soybean tofu increased with the addition of more than 1% chlorella powder. Hardness of the organic soybean tofu with chlorella significantly increased compared to that of the soybean tofu. However, Hunter's color values of L, a, and b decreased by increases in the chlorella powder concentration. Total microbial population of the soybean tofu was higher than that of the organic soybean tofu with chlorella. However, pH of chlorella tofu decreased during storage period at $4^{\circ}C$. After 7 days storage at $4^{\circ}C$, the total microbial population decreased significantly with the addition of 2% chlorella powder. The L and a value of chlorella tofu was increased. On the other hand, the b value of chlorella tofu was decreased during storage. The results revealed that a fresh chlorella powder was a useful material to improve yield, quality and storage condition of the organic soybean tofu.

The purpose of this study was to develop a drying method of Gangjung. a traditional Korean snack, thus to reduce the drying time and to improve the quality of Gangjung. Two drying methods, hot air drying and far infrared ray drying were used by changing conditions such as air velocity(0.4, 1.2, 1.6 m/s), temperature(40, 50, 60$\^{C}$), and aging. Optimal moisture content of dried Gangjung pellet was 17% which was proper for frying. Cracks appeared on the surface of Gangjung pellet at lower levels of moisture content. Far infrared ray drying saved drying time about 20%. Both hot air drying and far infrared ray drying at 0.4 m/s of air velocity tended to show better quality of Gangjung than those dried at higher air velocities. The expansion volume and texture of Gangjung drying at 40$\^{C}$ was better than other temperature conditions, regardless of drying methods. Quality of Gangjung, dried at single stage without aging, was superior to those dried at double stage including aging process. Moreover, single stage drying save the drying time at least 24 hr. Gangjung dried at high temperature became hard and less brittle in sensory evaluation. In image analysis, air cell distribution in inner structure of Gangjung became uniform and fine as drying temperature decreased to 40$\^{C}$. Overall, Gangjung made of Gangjung pellet by the use of far infrared ray drying at 40$\^{C}$ without aging, showed the best quality in terms of physical and sensory properties.
