The optional ingredient, Maesil juice, was adopted to improve the quality of Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi during fermentation. The final weight of the Maesil juice as a percentage of the water content in the Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi was adjusted to 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7%. The physicochemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics were determined during fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$ over a 30 days period. After fermentation, the additions of 3 and 5% Maesil juice gave the highest pH values and lowest total acidities. With regard to the reducing sugars, the 3 and 5% treatments gave the highest contents. The number of the total cell count and lactic acid bacteria increased to their maxima during fermentation, but began to decrease during the latter stages. Here, the additions of 3 and 5% Maesil juice showed distinctive lower and higher numbers of total cells and lactic acid bacteria, respectively, during the latter stages of fermentation. With regard to the sensory evaluation on the addition of Maesil juice, the results obtained with 3 and 5% additions to the fermented Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi were favored for color, smell, sour and carbonated tastes and overall acceptability of the products. Therefore, the optimum levels of Maesil juice addition to Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi were estimated to be between 3 and 5%.

Jeung-Pyun Is a traditional fermented Korean food made with rice flour, water, sugar salt and unrefined rice wine(Tak-ju). In order to investigate how the addition of soybean and dextran have an influence on Jeung-Pyun fermentation and forming structure of Jeun-Pyun, adding soybean 20% and dextran 1%based on rice weight, we measured physicochemical properties. Also we measured dextran content of Jeung-Pyun batter according to the fermentation time and observed the inside of Jeung-Pyun by SEM in order to find out air pore condition. The dextran content of rice Jeung-Pyun and Jeung-Pyun adding soybean 20% was gradually increased as fermentation time was longer and Jeung-Pyun adding soybean 20% was higher than rice Jeung-Pyun. The specific volume of rice Jeung-Pyun and Jeung-Pyun adding soybean 20% was increased up to a fermentation time of 7~ 10 hours but it was decreased as fermentation time was longer. In the inside structure of Jeung-Pyun observed by SEM, the fermentation condition of Jeung-Pyun fermented for 3 and 7 hour was better and air pore size became larger, the number of it was decreased as fermentation time was longer. The air pore size of soybean 20% Jeung-Pyun is smaller more uniform than that of rice Jeung-Pyun. In conclusion. it can be suggested that the audition of soybean improves the quality of Jeung-Pyun and dextran has an influence on fermentation and forming structure of Jeung-Pyun.

Flour physicochemical properties of six Korean waxy wheat lines and their parental plants, including Kanto 107 and BaiHuo, which have partially null in GBSS (granule bound starch synthase), were evaluated in this study. The very low amylose content (3.20%) of Korean waxy wheat lines, which had been influenced by the null in all three GBSS isoforms encoded by three Wx loci, could result in the higher starch swelling power (25.15%), lower starch and flour pasting temperature (61.37$^{\circ}C$; 65.85$^{\circ}C$), and higher starch pasting peak viscosity and breakdown (246.60 RVU; 161.50 RVU) than those of their parental plants. In addition to high swelling and pasting properties, Korean waxy wheat lines had the higher protein content (12.80%), alkaline water retention capacity (97.39%), SDS sedimentation volume (80.33 $m\ell$) and damaged starch content (4.35 %) than those of their parental plants.

Coastal marine ecosystems continue to suffer unrelenting pressures from human population growth, increased development, and climate change. Moreover, these systems' capacity for self-repair is declining with such increases in anthropogenic production of various pollutants. What is the present health status or condition of the coastal ecosystem? If our coastal areas are unhealthy, which conditions are considered serious? To answer such questions, the United States, Canada, and Australia are currently assessing coastal ecosystem health using systematic monitoring programs as well as identifying and implementing management plans to improve the health of degraded coastal ecosystems. To evaluate marine environments, Korea is currently using a limited number of factors to estimate water quality. In fact, we are ill-prepared for assessing coastal ecosystem health because no biologically specific criteria are in place to measure the responses to various pollutants. We should select ecosystem-specific indicators from physicochemical stressors and evaluate the subsequent biological responses within each ecosystem. Furthermore, a set of practical indicators should be generated by considering the characteristics and uses of a local coastal area and the key issues at hand. The values of indicators should be presented as indices that allow understanding by the general public as well as by practitioners, policy makers, environmental managers and other stakeholders.

The physicochemical and organoreptic characteristics of hamburger patties with 1~5% powder of Sargassum thunbergii(ST) or Gelidium amansii(GA) were investigated. The addition of seaweed powder resulted in significant changes of L, a and b values of the patty. Water content of the patty increased with GA but not changed with ST. As increasing the amount of the powder, more cooking yield was observed. Na was the most abundant mineral, followed by Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn. The hamburger patty with 3% GA showed similar sensory scores of color and overall acceptability to control.

These experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of electrical stimulation(ES) and delayed chilling (DC) on the quality characteristics of Hanwoo beef. The left half carcass was treated with ES(550V, 90sec)within postmortem 30min. The electrical stimulated half carcass was subjected to chilling at 16$^{\circ}C$ for 24hr, and then stored at 2$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ for 15days (ESDC). The right half carcass was stored at 2$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ for 15 days (NES). ESDC showed a rapid pH fall and tended to reach to pH5.54 at postmortem 2 hrs. But, there was no consistent effect of electrical stimulation and delayed chilling on meat color, cooking loss and water holding capacity. Myofibril fragmentation index was higher than that of NES during storage. ESDC showed lower shear force value and strength consistently than NES. SDS-PAGE band patterns of myofibrils showed the rapid breakdown of troponin T and troponin I band in ESDC, compared with NES, and revealed the specific band below myosin light chain-2 pattern in ESDC.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of low- fat pork patties containing fat replacers. Carrageenan(CA) in combination with pectin(PE) or potato starch(PO) was added as fat replacers and physicochemical properties were evaluated in low-fat pork patties cooked by oven-roasting or pan-frying. Uncooked and cooked pork patties formulated with fat replacers were higher in moisture and ash content and lower in fat content than those of control. The cooking yield and reduction in diameter of pork patties were significantly improved by the addition of fat replacers(p<0.05). Pork patties formulated with CA had the highest fat retention, while CA+PE had the highest water holding capacity. Hunter s L(lightness) value was not different from among patties and a(redness) and b(yellowness) values were higher in carrageenan-based patties than those of control patties. Hardness was higher in carrageenan-based patties than that of control and cohesiveness and springiness showed no difference among patties. Sensory analysis showed that flavor, juiciness and palatability of carrageenan-based patties were superior to control patties and combined use of CA with PE or PO provided improved acceptability of low-fat pork patties over that from using single carrageenan.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of yeast cultures (Candida zeylanoides and Debaryomyces hansenii) isolated from traditionally dry fermented Turkish sucuks, on some physicochemical and microbiological properties of the product. Eight different batches of the sucuks were produced by the inoculation of yeast and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cultures (Lactobacillus curvatus, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus sakei) in different combinations. The sucuks were ripened for 12 days and analyzed at 1st, 6th, and 12th days of ripening. Percent moisture content, pH, water activity (aw) and residual nitrite values of the sucuk inoculated with the yeast cultures were higher at the end of the ripening. The use of yeast cultures decreased hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values of the sucuk while increased adhesiveness values. Major volatile groups were aldehydes, terpenes, and sulphur compounds in the sucuk samples. The most noticeable results were for sensory properties of the sucuk that were positively improved by the yeast cultures.

Recently, growing emphasis has been placed on the installation of rain gardens. However, previous rain garden studies have mainly focused on physicochemical effects such as rainfall runoff management and water quality improvement. Therefore, this study aims to investigate general perceptions of rain gardens and landscape aesthetics among rain garden visitors. To achieve this goal, a survey of 100 rain garden visitors was conducted, gathering information about their general perceptions of rain gardens and landscape aesthetics at three pre-selected rain garden locations. Results showed that rain garden recognition was limited to 34% of the respondents, indicating that most people were not aware of rain gardens and were unable to notice differences between rain gardens and traditional gardens. However, stronger support for rain gardens was observed among those who were aware of the concept, those who recognized that rain garden planting types are differentiated from traditional gardens, and those who rated positively the landscape aesthetic value of rain gardens. The main findings are expected to encourage further studies of quantitative indicators by conducting a correlation analysis between aesthetics and functionality of rain gardens.

The aim of this study was to provide the quality index of salted Korean cabbage in a short-term distribution system. Salted Korean cabbages were packaged with or without 2% salt water, and then distributed in a conventional system (CVS) and a cold-chain system (CCS) for 6 h. The material temperature of samples with and without salt water gradually increased to $19.57^{\circ}C$ and $19.43^{\circ}C$ in a CVS, respectively and to $10.73^{\circ}C$ and $12.90^{\circ}C$ in a CCS, respectively. Salinity of the materials in a CCS did not change, whereas salinities of the materials in a CVS were 1.2 and 1.7 fold higher, respectively. Also, a slight increase in acidity was observed in both packaging materials in a CCS. In the case of a CVS, total aerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria increased to 7.62 log CFU/g and 6.77 log CFU/g in the materials with salt water, respectively, whereas the number of total aerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria ranged between 5.62-5.85 log CFU/g and 4.33-4.83 log CFU/g in the materials without salt water, respectively. However, significant microbial changes were not observed in a CCS as distribution time increased. CCS with salt water packaging was effective in achieving microbial control and maintaining physicochemical quality. Salinity, aerobic bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria can be useful as quality indices for a CVS, and acidity can be useful as quality index for a CCS.
