This study was performed to evaluate the physicochemical and quality characteristics of dried noodles when different concentrations of Enteromorpha intenstinalis powder (EIP) were added to the wheat flour, thereby determining which noodle recipe was preferred. The cooking quality, mechanical texture properties, and viscosity of the prepared with noodles were measured, and then a sensory evaluation was conducted on them. The gelatinization points of the composite Enteromorpha intenstinalis powder-wheat flour were shown to have an increased viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 minutes. As measured via amylograph, the maximum viscosity values of those samples decreased with increasing EIP content. Also, when increased amounts of EIP were added, both the L and b values were reduced, whereas the a value was increased. The color values, weight and volume of the cooked noodles increased, as did the turbidity of the soup. With regard to the textural characteristics, the EIP additive increased hardness and reduced adhesiveness, cohesiveness and springiness. Overall, according to the results of our sensory evaluations, the noodles prepared with 5% EIP were preferred over other noodles.

Demand for high quality rice has always been a major factor in the international rice marketing. In the present study, doubled haploid (DH) population derived from anther culture of a Tongil/japonica hybrid was used for genetic analysis of rice grain quality. The average values of DH lines for grain weight, grain length and the ratio of grain length to width were near the mid-parent value. More than 40% DH lines showed transgressive segregation for grain weight, length, amylose and lipid content, but less than 10% DH lines observed on ratio of length to width and grain thickness were transgressive segregation. Correlation analysis between appearance qualities and physicochemical characters indicated that grain width and grain thickness both significantly and negatively correlated to protein and lipid content. A highly significant negative correlation between protein content and amylose content was observed.

Milk can be regarded as a complete food, containing protein, fat, lactose, vitamins and minerals. Milk is heated for a variety of reasons. The main reasons are: to remove pathogenic organisms; to increase shelf-life. But, when milk is heated, many changes take place: denaturation of whey proteins and interaction with casein, Maillard browning, losses of vitamin and minerals. The addition of a additive and milk powder to flavor and taste may cause undesirable change of quality during heating milk. The reconstituted milk is the milk product resulting from the addition of water to the dried or condensed form in the amount necessary to re-establish the specified water solids ratio. Therefore, according to the increasement of consumption of processed milk, the necessity for study about the quality of processed milk mixed with reconstituted milk arose.

Jeung-Pyun is a traditional Korean fermented rice cake leavened by yeast. To develop a functional Jeung-Pyun, mulberry leaf(ML) were added to the rice at the levels of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8%, respectively. Physicochemical, sensory, texture and surface characteristics of Jeung-Pyun were examined. The specific volumes of all the Jeung-Pyun's with ML were significantly lower than that of control(0% ML) and 4% ML sample showed the highest volume among them. The pH of ML Jeung-Pyun batters decreased with fermentation time. Overall quality of Jeung-Pyun with ML obtained lower value than the control. Among the texture properties measured with rheometer, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess and brittleness of ML Jeung-Pyun decreased according to the amount ML added and springiness was not significantly different. The surface structure by SEM showed that Jeung-Pyun added with 4% ML had the largest and the most uniform air cells. In conclusion, the most acceptable concentrations of ML on the basis of overall quality in sensory evaluation and physicochemical characteristics were 2% or 4%.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of low-salt kimchi with salt partially replaced by Salicornia herbacea L. powder (SH). We prepared kimchi with seasonings in which salt was replaced by 0% (S00), 10% (S10), 20% (S20) and 30% (S30) SH. The salinity level of kimchi was about 1%, and there was no significant difference between the experimental groups. Although lactic acid bacterial numbers of kimchi replaced with SH (S10~S30) increased significantly compared to those of control (S00), the pH and titratable acidity of kimchi replaced with SH were not significantly different. Hardness of kimchi tended to increase as fermentation progressed and with SH addition. The results of the sensory evaluation corroborated the physicochemical characteristics. Furthermore, the sensory characteristics of kimchi were not significantly different upon addition of SH. The physicochemical and sensory characteristics of kimchi were not significantly different despite replacement of salt in kimchi seasoning by SH up to 10%.

This study was performed to examine the feasibility of using the low plane of nutrition (LPN) as a means of improving the meat quality of crossbred finishing pigs with a medium weight gain potential. Twenty-four barrows and 24 gilts weighing approximately 48 kg were placed on LPN [a finisher (2.86 Mcal ME/kg and 0.67% lysine) for 91 d] or on a high plane of nutrition [HPN; a commercial grower for 38 d and a finisher (3.35 Mcal ME/kg and 0.9% lysine) for 46 d]. Five barrows and five gilts per treatment weighing approximately 125 kg were slaughtered after the indicated days on the respective diets, followed by physicochemical analysis and sensory evaluation on their muscles. Overall average daily gain was 12.6% less in the LPN group vs. the HPN group (p<0.05). The redness ($a^*$) of fresh longissimus muscle (LM) from the loin as well as from Boston butt was greater in the LPN group vs. HPN whereas the shear force for fresh LM from these primals and semimembranosus muscle was lower in the former. In sensory evaluation for cooked LM, no treatment effect was detected in any of the quality traits examined, except for a lower color score in the LPN vs. HPN group. Results suggest that meat quality of the finishing pigs can be improved to some extent by using LPN. However, the present pigs, whose backfat thickness was 24 mm at 125 kg, are thought not to be lean enough to be fattened over 120 kg.

The effect of using Korean wheat flour versus Australian wheat flour on noodle quality as a result of differing physical and chemical properties of the flours was investigated. The results provided appropriate technical information for selection of wheat varieties to produce high quality Korean salted noodles. Noodle quality was quantified based on measurement of the appearance and texture of noodles. When consumer preference tests were conducted, a firmer and more elastic texture was preferred for Korean white salted noodles, however, when appearance was included in the consumer tests, noodles made with Australian wheat were favored over Korean wheats. Korean flour was found to produce firmer and more elastic noodles, whereas Australian flour produced brighter, creamier colored noodles. In flour quality tests, Korean flours were found to have a higher setback viscosity and lower swelling power than Australian flour. Additionally, Korean flours had higher water absorption values. Protein content of flour was an important parameter affecting the firmness of Korean noodles, whereas setback viscosity and swelling power were the major determinants of elasticity. Overall, the important parameters for determination of the quality of Korean salted noodles were high setback viscosity, low swelling power, and high protein content.

Physicochemical properties affecting on the quality of Citrus unshiu Marc. var miyagawa and C. unshiu Marc. var, okitsu according to cultivation area in Cheju were investigated. Linear correlations (r>0.9) were showed between fruit size and peel thickness. There were much difference between cultivation areas in soluble solids of C. unshiu Marc. var. okitsu. The difference were not so much in soluble solids and acid contents of citrus fruits produced at same area below 65mm of fruit diameter, but the quality of large size fruits were inferior. Brix/Acid ratio could not be index for quality evaluation, because of individual deviation. Soluble solid content of citrus fruits produced in south Cheju was higher than that produced in north Cheju. Acid content and Brix/Acid ratio of citrus fruits produced in south Cheju was lower than that produced in north Cheju. The quality of C. unshiu Marc. var. miyagawa clad not so much difference between cultivation area, but the difference of quality were recognized significantly in C. unshiu Marc. var. okitsu.
