The physicochemical properties and cooking quality of Saechalssal bori (25% pearled ratio), which is a naked waxy barley, were investigated. The amylose, insoluble dietary fiber (IDF), soluble dietary fiber (SDF), total dietary fiber (TDF), and ${\beta}$-glucan contents of Saechalssal bori were 5.2, 10.8, 9.5, 20.3, and 3.7%, respectively. Pasting temperature, peak and final viscosity, and setback of Saechalssal bori were $66.5^{\circ}C$, 383.2, 231.3, and 55.6 RVU, respectively. The water absorption, expansibility, and soluble solid of Saechalssal bori were 232.2, 405.3, and 3.5%, respectively. As the ratio of water to grain increased, L value increased, whereas a and b values were decreased. The sensory evaluation showed that wateriness and overall acceptability increased with increasing ratio of water to grain, resulting in determining 2.1 times as the optimum ratio of water to grain. The cooked Saechalssal bori prepared using optimum condition had hardness (1.2 kg), cohesiveness (4.0), springiness (1.0), gumminess (5.1), chewiness (5.3), adhesiveness (0.2 kg), and A/H (0.8), respectively.

This study investigated the effects of low-dose electron beam irradiation treatment on the physicochemical and sensorial properties of imported navel oranges during storage at $20^{\circ}C$ for 12 days. The samples were irradiated at doses of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 kGy, after which changes in color value, hardness, Brix/acid ratio, total sugar contents, reducing sugar contents, vitamin C contents, and sensory evaluation were investigated. There were no significant differences between non-irradiated and irradiated samples in terms of color value, Brix/acid ratio, total sugar contents, total reducing sugar contents, and vitamin C contents. Hardness of irradiated samples significantly decreased in the early storage period in an irradiation dose-independent manner, and the difference between non-irradiated and irradiated samples decreased again at the end of storage. For the sensory evaluation, there was no significant difference between non-irradiated and irradiated samples up to 0.6 kGy, and all sensory item scores decreased at the end of the storage period regardless of irradiation. These results suggest that electron beam irradiation below 0.6 kGy does not affect physicochemical and sensory properties during storage at $20^{\circ}C$. Thus, electron beam irradiation up to 0.6 kGy applied to imported navel oranges is the optimum dose for minimizing quality changes and disinfestation treatment.

The quality of cultured fish was evaluated in this study by using physicochemical method. The speed of a current was taken a decision 0.5 m/s by a preliminary experiment. No-exercise trained group was not much significantly changed moisture content, lipid content, collagen content and breaking strength during cultured time (P＞0.05). But moisture content of exercise trained group was 72.05$\pm$1.45% at the first time and increased to 3% after 20 days. Lipid content was initially 5.36$\pm$0.90% and reduced to 46% during the cultured time. The breaking strength increased during cultured time, on the contrary collagen content did not change significantly. Relation between each elements during the cultured time, moisture content and lipid content was significantly correlated with breaking strength (P＜0.05, r=0.60 and P＜0.05, 0.56). But relation between breaking strength and collagen content was not clear (P＞0.05, r=0.16). These results were suggested that the increase of breaking strength after exercise was affected by lipid content not collagen content.

This study evaluates red seabream quality using physicochemical and chemoenzymatic indices. Breaking strength was correlated with moisture content and lipid content of red seabram by a precedent experiment. Moisture content (X$_1$), lipid content (X$_2$) and breaking strength (Y) were optimized with multiple regression as, Y= -2.53539＋0.05544X$_1$-0.00161X$_2$. To test the equation, red seabream (n=13) were randomly purchased and measured moisture content, lipid content and breaking strength. The calculated breaking strength using the equation was similar to breaking strength measured using Rheo meter. Adenylate energy charge (AEC), a general biochemical index of stress, values of all sample were higher than 0.8 expect two fish. Fish's condition was a good. The equation developed in this study predicts breaking strength with moisture and lipid content measured. Moreover the equation may be used in grading cultured red seabream with calculated breaking strength. Grade according to breaking strength, when it came to over 1.4 kg, was measured as high grade; when it came to below 1.2 kg, was measured as low grade. Grade according to AEC, when it came to over 0.8, was measured as high grade.

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.

This study was investigated the changes of quality stability and physicochemical characteristics of the Korean red ginsengs stored for a long times over 20 years. The Korean red ginsengs were stored for 4 to 22 years in canned packaging with polypropylene film and wooden box at room temperatures. The unusal phenomena such as discoloration and pin hole in packaging were not observed. General bacteria showed the vlaues of below 100 CFU/g, coliform groups and molds were not found in any samples stored for 22 year. Any samples also were not detected in mycotoxins. The contents of moisture, ash and crude saponin were the levels of 10.6~11.1%, 3.8~4.2% and 4.1~4.7% during the whole storage periods, respectively. The contents of maltol, which has been known as characteristic flavour and antioxidant of Korean red ginseng, showed remarkably increasing tendency from 0.10 mg/g for 4 years to 2.53 mg/g for 22 years during the storage. The contents of AFG (arginyl-fructosyl-glucose), arginine and free sugar were slightly decreased. Acidic polysaccharide and ginsenoside were not changed significantly during the storage periods. The contents of acidic polysaccharide and total ginsenosides were the 75.1~76.3 mg/g and 15.1~16.6 mg/g, respectively. The sums of ginsenoside-Rg1,-Rb1 and -Rg3s were the ranges of 9.3~9.9 mg/g and PD (ginsenoside-Rb1, -Rb2,-Rc,-Rd,-Rg3s,-Rg3r)/PT (ginsenoside-Rg1,-Rg2,-Re,-Rf,-Rh1) saponin ratios were the levels of 1.4~1.5. These results suggest that Korean red ginsengs stored for long periods show relatively stable quaility stabilities and not significantly changed the contents of ginsenoside and polysaccharide during the storage up to 22 years.

This study was performed to determine the effects of the pretreatment and cold-vacuum drying methods on the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of dried peaches. Moisture content was significantly lower with 0.3% NaCl treatment with cold-vacuum drying. The pH, brix and acid ratio (SS/TA) were the lowest with 1.0% soluble Ca treatment, while soluble solid and SS/TA were significantly higher with 0.1% vitamin C treatment compared to those with other treatments. The ${\delta}E$ and browning degree was lower in the pretreated sample compared to the untreated sample. Cutting strength of dried peaches was highest in the pretreated samples, and it was the highest with 1.0% soluble Ca treatment. Total sugar content with 0.1% vitamin C and 1.0% soluble Ca treatment was significantly higher than that with 0.3% NaCl treatment. The free sugar content was lower with 0.3% NaCl treatment but it was higher with 0.1% vitamin C and 1.0% soluble Ca treatment. The sensory evaluation result was highest with 0.1% vitamin C treatment. Phenolic compounds and antioxidant ability were the highest with the 0.1% vitamin C and 0.1% soluble Ca treatment; all the dried peaches showed relatively high antioxidant activities. These results suggest that pretreatment can affect the quality of dried peaches, showing that cold-vacuum drying can be applied for the production of high quality dried peach products.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of irradiation temperature on the physicochemical and sensory properties of Tarakjuk, milk porridge. Tarakjuk was gamma-irradiated at different temperatures of $25^{\circ}C$ (in room), $4^{\circ}C$ (in ice), and $-20^{\circ}C$ (in dry ice) at a dose of 10 kGy, and then autoclaved at $120^{\circ}C$ for 15 min for comparison. pH and Hunter's color value of Tarakjuk were not changed by irradiation regardless of the temperature. However, the TBA (2-thiobarbituric acid) value decreased as irradiation temperature was decreased. The viscosity of Tarakjuk irradiated in dry ice was significantly higher than that irradiated at room temperature and in ice (p<0.05). For the sensory evaluation, there were no significant differences in overall acceptability between non-treated Tarakjuk and that irradiated in dry ice. Flavor pattern analysis using an electronic nose with a SAW (surface acoustic wave) sensor determined that the main peaks at retention times 3.88 and 7.34 sec were related with off-flavor induced by irradiation and unique flavor of Tarakjuk, respectively. These results indicated that irradiation at freezing temperature improved quality deterioration of Tarakjuk by gamma irradiation. However, sensory quality of Tarakjuk irradiated at freezing temperature was still lower than that of non-irradiated Tarakjuk. Therefore, further research is needed to improve the quality of Tarakjuk using combined treatment such as addition of antioxidants and vacuum packaging method.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation (0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1 and 1.5 kGy) on the microbiological, physicochemical and sensory qualities of imported orange during storage at $3^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. Total aerobic bacteria and yeast/mold counts in non-irradiated oranges were 3.59 and 3.75 log CFU/g, and those counts in irradiated oranges at 1.5 kGy were decreased by 1.75 and 2.26 log CFU/g, respectively. Moreover, those counts were decreased significantly according to a dose-dependent manner after gamma irradiation. The pH revealed no significant difference between the control and irradiated samples; however, titratable acidity was decreased significantly according to a dose-dependent manner and storage time. The vitamin C contents were decreased significantly according to a dose-dependent manner and storage time after gamma irradiation. Further, sensory evaluation testing revealed no significant difference between the control and irradiated samples, except 1.5 kGy. Samples irradiated at 1.5 kGy had the lowest values in color, sweetness, sourness, flavor, texture and overall acceptance. The results suggest that gamma irradiation was effective for ensuring microbiological safety; however, irradiated oranges at 1 and 1.5 kGy did not have good physicochemical and sensory qualities. Therefore, we can use the sample irradiated at 0.4~0.6 kGy as optimum-dose to be minimize on quality changes.
