This study investigated the quality variation characteristics of Ssamjang containing Cheongkukjang, in order to improve the degree of preference of Cheongkukjang. The amount of Cheongkukjang was set at 1% based on sensory evaluation. Ssamjang containing Cheongkukjang was stored at $37^{\circ}C$ for 13 weeks, after which quality variation characteristics were weekly. During storage for 13 weeks, physicochemical quality characteristics, moisture content, and pH of Ssamjang containing Cheongkukjang slightly decreased, whereas salt content did not change. Amino nitrogen content slightly increased by 1 week but decreased by 3 weeks and then increased by 5 weeks. For microbiology quality characteristics, viable cell counts and total cell counts of B. cereus were unchanged. For sensory quality characteristics, shape quality was poor after 13 weeks while mold, drying phenomenon, and swelling phenomenon were not observed. Therefore, physicochemical quality and microbiology quality of Ssamjang containing Cheongkukjang were unchanged during storage for 13 weeks, and the storage limit was determined to be 12 weeks according to sensory quality evaluation.

The purpose of the study is to examine the physicochemical and quality characteristics of fermented soybean paste sauce containing lotus leaf powder at concentrations of 0% (control), 2%, 4%, 6% and 8%. The color of increasing the amount of concentrated lotus leaf powder in the fermented soybean paste sauce tended to increase the pH, total soluble solids, saltinity and viscosity. It also tended to increase total polyphenol, flavonoids content and DPPH radical scavenging ability. The total bacteria numbers increased with storage period, and those of fermented soybean paste sauce with 4% lotus leaf powder were lower compared to the other samples. The results of this study suggest that lotus leaf is a beneficial ingredient for increasing quality characteristics and the functionality of fermented soybean paste sauce.

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%.

Purpose: To improve the cooking quality of brown rice, newly inbred soft rice cultivars were investigated. Methods: The physicochemical properties of brown rice flour and water absorption patterns and cooking characteristics of brown rice grain were compared to Ilmi white and brown rice. Results: General composition and total dietary fiber contents of five rices were significantly different with higher ash, protein, and total dietary fiber contents in soft brown rice than white rice. The hardness of raw rice grain was higher in Ilmi brown rice than in soft brown rice. The water absorption increased rapidly in 30 min of white rice and in 4-6 h of brown rices. The apparent amylose content of soft brown rice was lower than that of Ilmi rice. The initial pasting temperature and all viscosities were significantly different, but the trend was not similar. The textural properties of hardness and roughness were higher, but adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and stickiness were lower in Ilmi brown rice than white and soft brown rices. In sensory preference test, not only textural properties, hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, stickiness, and roughness, but also color, glossiness, and roasted flavor were higher in soft brown rices. Especially soft brown rice B showed the best cooking quality among all rices. Conclusion: The results of the study suggested that soft brown rice is developed for cooking with high nutritional and functional quality.

Persimmon has long been established as one of the major fruits in Korea. The southern parts of Korea were traditionally the pocket areas for good persimmon production; however, rising temperatures have gradually rendered the southern regions unsuitable for successful harvest. Ecology of fruit growing areas affects the productivity of various types of crops, including fruit trees such as persimmon. The quality characteristics of the fruit of persimmon cv. Dongchul grown in Gangwondo, which lies in the northern part of South Korea, were investigated. Different physicochemical, nutritional, and antioxidant properties of fruit were evaluated to assess the locational effect on the quality of persimmon fruits grown in Gangwondo. The results of this study showed that persimmon cv. Dongchul grown in Gangwondo maintains many of the physicochemical (4.33% crude protein and 4.32% crude fiber), nutritional (total mineral content: 461.51 and vitamin C content: 15.28 ㎎/100 g), and antioxidant properties (polyphenol content: 633.1 ㎎ gallic acid equivalent/100 g) those are found in other three commercial cultivars ‘Daebong’, ‘Kyengsan Bansi’, and ‘Sangju Doongsi’ grown in Korea. Overall results of this study imply that ‘Dongchul’ cultivar of persimmon could commercially be grown in Kangwondo, Korea.

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.

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 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.

This study investigated the effects of mustard seed extracts on physicochemical and storage characteristics of dry-aged pork loin ham during the aging period. In experiment 1, antioxidant activity was assessed for mustard seed extracted with varying ethanol concentrations and the results showed high antioxidant activity at 25%, 50%, and 75% ethanol concentrations. In experiment 2, pork loin was treated with mustard seed extracts obtained using different ethanol concentrations: not treated (control), 25% (MS25), 50% (MS50), and 75% (MS75). Physicochemical and storage characteristics of pork loin ham were measured in wk 0, 2, 4, and 6. The pH, a_w, CIE b^*, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and volatile basic nitrogen values were lower in treated samples compared to the control (p<0.05). In conclusion, applying mustard seed extracts, particularly MS75, in the dry-aged pork loin ham production process could enhance storage stability and improve color attributes without having negative impacts on product quality.

Due to its lack of wave action and tide ecosystem in Inchon dock lacks in marine characteristics. Structural condition in the dock is artificially similar to that of lake. The purposes of this study was to clarify the water quality, to provide the basic physicochemical data and tl resolve the causation of ？미 blooming. Samples were obtained monthly from four stations in Inchon dock during January to December, 1991. Water temperature ranged from $2.7^{\circ}C$ to $27.6^{\circ}C$ under the strong influence of air temperature. Salinity varied between 24.7%-30.4% thus being influenced by freshwater discharged from a spring. Dissolved oxygen was concentrated from 0.1-13.92 mg/l and suspended solids were 6.9-231.0 mg/l. The physicochemical factors were similar to those investigated 10 years ago. However, increased concentration of nitrogenous nutrients initiated ？미 blooming and its process was accelerated to reach eutrophication. Algal blooming was proceeded in March and August.
