For improved preservation of boiled-dried anchovies, the current preservation method of corrugated-cardboard box packaging and freezing below -18$^{\circ}C$ was compared to the nylon/polyethylene(NY/PE) packaging along with cooling temperature ranging from 5$^{\circ}C$ to 1$0^{\circ}C$ as well as ambient condition for eight months by determining physicochemical quality of stored samples. Lipid oxidation of stored anchovies and their browning increased with storage time. The phenomenon was delayed under the conditions of lower temperature and air-tight packaging. As quality-indicative criteria of stored anchovies, carbonyl value(r=-0.989), browning (r=-0.949) and color a value(r=-0.989), browning(r=-0.965), Hunter's color b value(r=-0.949) and color a value(r=-0.940) showed a highly-negative correlations with organoleptic qualities of the samples. Based on the above results, air-tight packaging in a laminated film and subsequent storage at cooling temperature was found to be a possible alternative to the current freezing-storage of boiled-dried anchovies from the physicochemical point of view.

In this study, gluten-free noodles were developed and the physicochemical quality of gluten-free noodles added with nondigestible maltodextrin (NMD) was also investigated. The gluten-free noodles were prepared by addition of 0, 5, 7, and 9% NMD of total ingredients except water. Inhibition activities for ${alpha}$-amylase and ${alpha}$-glucosidase according to the addition amounts of NMD were evaluated. As a result, activities of carbohydrate-digestive enzymes decreased with an increase of the added NMD amounts. Water binding capacity and solubility of raw noodles increased upon NMD addition. Swelling power also increased as temperature rose. L value of raw noodles decreased with the addition of NMD, but b value increased. Texture profile analysis of cooked noodles showed reduction of hardness, springiness, and chewiness of noodles with NMD. On the other hand, tensile strength of cooked noodles containing up to 7% NMD was not significantly different from that of noodle without NMD. In the sensory evaluation, elasticity of noodles with 9% NMD was lower than that of other noodles, whereas other characteristics of noodles were not significantly different among noodles. Therefore, it was confirmed that the addition of 5~7% NMD had little effect on the sensory quality of noodles.

This study assessed previous research aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of freeze-thawing on meat quality. Specifically, it focuses on assessing the physicochemical alterations in meat resulting from freezing, freeze-thawing, or technologies to minimize these alterations. Recent studies have focused on conventional freeze-thaw technology applicable across various livestock species and muscle types. However, recent research has indicated the necessity for developing freeze-thaw technology considering the unique characteristics of individual muscles. In this review, we summarize previous studies that have compared alterations in the physicochemical properties of primary muscles owing to freezing or freeze-thawing. Despite the introduction of various technologies to significantly reduce the adverse effects on meat quality resulting from freeze-thawing, it is essential to consider the unique characteristics (proximate composition, pH, and muscle fiber characteristics) of individual muscles or cuts to develop enhanced the freeze-thaw processing technology.

Changes in the physicochemical properties of frying oil after single or repeated use in foodservice establishments were studied. The experiment was designed to simulate the practical frying practice based on a survey from the dieticians in the food service establishments. Used oils came from the single frying of mackerel and the sequential frying of 1) potato and mackerel, 2) battered pork and mackerel, and 3) potato, battered pork, and mackerel. The used oil samples were analyzed and compared with the fresh one. Oil quality parameters such as acid value, peroxide value, thiobarbituric acid value, iodine value, viscosity, and color were measured at each step of deep-fat frying. The physicochemical properties of the frying oils have been more or less affected by the frying conditions. However, the used oils resulted from the experimental trials were within the range of acceptance as indicated by the acid and peroxide values.

This work was designed to determine the effect of steaming-Pretreatment on Physicochemical and functional properties of roasted Polygonatum odoratum roots. Steaming treatments led to some reduction in the contents of water solubles, such as total solid, reducing sugar and free-amino nitrogen of the unroasted samples. Moreover, roasting processing caused decrease in reducing sugar and free-amino acid, with increase in total soluble solid and browning color of the samples, which showed the dependence of steaming treatment as well as roasting temperature. Electron-donating ability and nitrite-scavenging ratio of the samples were also highly developed along with roasting processing at 17$0^{\circ}C$ within 35min. Considering the physicochemical and some functional parameters of water extracts of roasted samples, roasting at above 14$0^{\circ}C$ for over 55min or at 17$0^{\circ}C$ for around 35min was recommendable for the higher quality of Polygonatum odoritum tea, which conditions were similarly adapted for both steamed and unsteamed samples.

This study investigated the physicochemical characteristics of black garlic (BG) after different thermal processing steps. Compared with fresh garlic (FG), the moisture content and pH in BG decreased significantly, while the ash content and browning intensity increased during thermal processing. The total mineral and the free sugar contents were significantly higher than that of the BG2 and BG4 samples, respectively. The free sugar content increased by 16-fold in the BG cloves compared with that of FG, while the amino acid content increased during the first stage of thermal processing, and subsequently decreased. The thiosulfinate content in all samples decreased to during thermal processing. The pyruvic acid content initially increased and then decreased during thermal processing. These results contribute to our understanding of the role of thermal processing in the quality formation of BG.

The interrelation between physicochemical properties of milled rice and retrogradation of rice bread during cold storage was examined to compare the varietal difference in maintenance of rice bread quality. Twelve rice materials showed big varietal difference on physicochemical properties of rice starch such as amylose content(0.0~29.2%), gel consistency(20~98mm), and alkali digestion value(2.0~7.0). Rice bread made from milled rice of Jungwonbyeo, AC 27 and IRAT 177 exhibited soft texture and late retrogradation of rice bread during cold storage(4$^{\circ}C$). The amylose content of milled rice was closely associated with gel consistency negatively and with springiness of rice bread positively. The retrogradation of rice bread texture during cold storage was correlated with gel consistency of rice flour positively and with alkali digestion value of milled rice negatively.

Physicochemical properties of frozen immatured soybean (Miwon) under various thawing conditions were investigated. The moisture content, density and other chemical compositions were not affected by the thawing conditions. Thelightness of soybean and soybean hull decreased when thawing with 1$0^{\circ}C$ water while it increased when other thawing conditions used. Hardness and vitamin C content decreased with all thawing conditions ; especially decrease in vitamin C content was severe with microwave thawing. Lipoxygenase activity was significantly decreased when thawing with microwave and 1$0^{\circ}C$ water. It was recommended that thawing with 1$0^{\circ}C$ water was the most apropriate method in terms of overall quality.

To develop new type of sponge cake, the effects of partial (0~40%) replacement with Rubus coreanus powder (RCP) on the quality characteristics of sponge cakes were investigated. The pH level and moisture content ranged from 4.05~8.23 and 28.49~36.59, respectively, and significantly decreased upon addition of RCP (P<0.05). Baking loss rate and cake firmness significantly increased with higher RCP content in the formulation, whereas morphological characteristics of cakes such as height, volume, and symmetry indices significantly decreased (P<0.05). For crumb color values, $L^*$-and $b^*$-values significantly decreased while $a^*$-value significantly increased as a result of RCP substitution (P<0.05). Hedonic sensory results indicated that sponge cakes supplemented with 30~40% RCP showed the most favorable acceptance scores for most of the sensory attributes evaluated. Overall, Rubus coreanus sponge cake could be developed with comparable physicochemical qualities without sacrificing consumer acceptability.
