In order to improve the quality and preservation of nabakkimchi, omija was added as an ingredient to determine its effect on the physicochemical characteristics of kimchi during fermentation, as well as the optimum level of omija extract. Omija extract was prepared from omija seeds by extraction with water for 9 hr at room temperature in concentrations (w/v) of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0% for use as an ingredient in nabakkimchi. The physicochemical characteristics of nabakkimchi containing omija extract were analyzed during fermentation of the product for up to 25 days. Delayed fermentation was observed, particularly in the early stage of fermentation, and was dependent on the concentration of the omija extract, as shown by stabilization of pH decreases and increases in the total acidity. An increased concentration of omija extract also raised the initial total vitamin C content and the reducing sugar content, which both then stabilized thereafter. Delayed development of turbidity within the optimum fermentation period of 16 days, increased redness and total color difference, and an electron-donor effect were also promoted by the omija extract. However, the omija extract also triggered extra tannin production, which leads to an astringent taste, especially at the 1.5 and 2.0% treatment levels.

Meat jerky is a type of meat snack with a long shelf life, light weight, and unique sensory properties. However, meat jerky requires a long manufacturing time, resulting in high energy consumption. In this study, beef jerky was prepared by injecting different concentrations of brine at different hot-air drying times (0-800 min). When the brine injection levels were increased to 30%, the drying characteristics of beef jerky, such as drying time and effective moisture diffusivity, were significantly improved owing to the relatively high water content and the formation of porous structures. The physicochemical properties (e.g. meat color, porosity, shear force, and volatile basic nitrogen) of the beef jerky injected with 30% brine were improved owing to the shortened drying time. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the beef jerky structure became porous and irregular during the brine injection process. Our novel processing technique for manufacturing beef jerky leads to improved quality characteristics and shortened drying times.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties and physiological activities of jelly prepared from gelatin, sugar, bokbunja extract, and different amounts (0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3%) of fermented sea tangle Saccharina japonica powder (FSP). The jelly moisture, pH, and sugar content slightly increased with increasing the FSP content. Hardness, springiness, gumminess, chewiness, and cohesiveness also increased with increasing FSP concentration. Jelly antioxidant activity did not change significantly with increasing FSP. In contrast, alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase activities in the jellies increased significantly with increasing FSP concentration. β-secretase inhibitory activity in jellies also increased with increasing FSP concentration. Jellies containing 0.5 or 1% FSP achieved the highest overall sensory acceptance scores. Taken together, these data indicate that addition of FSP to jelly appears to improve its quality and physiological activities.

The change of quality and physicochemical characteristics of mung-bean flours after germination and roasting treatment were evaluated. The moisture content of the roasted mung-bean flours decreased significantly according to the roasting temperatures and times, and the crude ash, protein and fat contents increased. The lightness of the roasted mung-bean flours significantly decreased, and the redness and yellowness increased. The water binding capacity of the roasted mung-bean flours without and with germination were 151.71 and 192.77% at $240^{\circ}C$ for 20 min, respectively. The water solubility index and swelling power decreased with an increase in roasting temperatures and times. The phenolic compounds and radical scavenging activity of the roasted mung-bean flours increased with an increase in the roasting temperatures and times. The total polyphenol contents of the roasted mung-bean flours without and with germination were 4.81~7.71 and 4.22~5.63 mg GAE/g, and the total flavonoid contents were 2.46~3.05 and 2.45~2.87 mg CE/g, respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the roasted mung-bean flours, without and with germination, were 106.83~376.08 and 174.41~346.70 mg TE/100 g, and the ABTS radical scavenging activity was 251.67~534.31 and 274.39~430.02 mg TE/100 g, respectively. As a result, it is necessary to set quality standards for each application considering the quality and antioxidant properties of the roasted mung-bean flours.

In order to effectively manage the reservoir, reservoir water quality management should be based on physicochemical and configurational characteristics. In this research, correlation between factors affecting the reservoir water quality was examined. Chl-a and COD shows the highest positive correlation. Chl-a and T-P also has a high positive correlation, however Chl-a and T-N show lower correlation relatively. Even though T-N is an important factor for phytoplankton growth which increase Chl-a concentration, corelation of Ch1-a and T-N shows that enough nitrogen in the reservoir isn't no longer limiting factor. The age of reservoir can cause of increasing COD and SS. Embankment height and elevation of reservoirs shows strong negative correlation to water quality. That means reservoir which is higher embankment height and locate in higher elevations is less contaminated. Regression expression was derived with Chl-a and water quality parameters, and height of reservoir. Finally Chl-a was simulated using regression expression and it was a good approach to predict the Chl-a concentration.

In this study, the physicochemical and quality characteristics of eel sauce added with bokbunja powder were evaluated. Crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, and crude fiber contents increased in eel sauce with increasing amount of bokbunja powder. The lowest pH and salinity were observed in eel sauce added with 80% bokbunja powder, whereas the solid content, titratable acidity, and viscosity were the highest. Regarding Hunter's color results, lightness L and redness a values increased with increasing amounts of bokbunja, and the red color was significantly different between each sample. In the sensory evaluation results, the color, bokbunja flavor, bokbunja taste, salty taste, and moistness significantly increased with higher amount of bokbunja powder. Overall acceptability from 80%<60%<40%<0%<20% sequence supplemented with 20% in group symbols 7.08 to higher. Eel sauce added with 20% bokbunja powder produced the most desirable characteristics compared to other amounts of added bokbunja powder.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of crust derived from dry-aged Holstein and Hanwoo loins and their effects on food as additives. With respect to physicochemical properties, we examined the proximate composition, pH value, salinity, color, water and fat absorption, emulsifying capacity, and swelling yield. The protein and ash contents in the Holstein crust were significantly higher than those in the Hanwoo crust (p < 0.0001). The fat content in the Hanwoo crust was significantly higher than that in the Holstein crust (p < 0.01). The salinity, lightness, and yellowness of the Hanwoo crust were significantly lower than those of the Holstein crust (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the pH value and emulsifying capacity of the Hanwoo crust were significantly higher than those of the Holstein crust (p < 0.001). The fat absorption of the Holstein crust was significantly higher than that of the Hanwoo crust (p < 0.001). The swelling yield of the Holstein crust was significantly higher than that of the Hanwoo crust at pH 3 and 4 (p < 0.001), whereas the swelling yield of the Hanwoo crust was significantly higher than that of the Holstein crust at pH 7 (p < 0.001). Principal component analysis of dry-aged Hanwoo, Holstein, and non-aged Holstein showed different flavor patterns for each sample. Finally, the results showed that the crusts derived from dry-aged Hanwoo and Holstein loins were suitable flavor enhancers.

The cheese cakes of three family restaurants (A, B, and q were compared for water activity, Brix, free sugar contents, color difference, viscosity, and sensory evaluation. The carbohydrate contents of cheese cake made in B is higher than the others. However, the products in C have the highest values for the crude protein contents. In viscosity, the products in C have the lowest values in cutting strength and compression strength. In order to measure the quality of cheese cake for different family restaurants, 83 undergraduate students were selected. It is found that they like the products in A better than those in Band C for aroma, sweetness, and taste. The results suggest that the taste is the most important factor for quality, and the aroma is the secondary effective factor.
