The purposes of this study were to develop value-added sauce (chili hot sauce) products with Korean advanced chili peppers (Capsicum annuum L.), to determine physicochemical characteristics of hot sauces, and to conduct a sensory evaluation of developed hot sauces. American chili hot sauce products were collected from the American local favorites, and were analyzed based on their compositions. The developed Korean hot sauce contained tomato (29.2%), onion (18.2%), sugar (11.5%), vinegar (10.9%), Korean chili peppers (11.0%), herbs, plum extract, and oligosaccharide, and it showed a higher overall acceptability, compared to that of the hot sauce samples. Its physiochemical analysis showed: salt $5.46{\pm}0.21%$, total acidity $6.04{\pm}0.04%$, pH $3.32{\pm}0.25$, and $^{\circ}brix$ $58.50{\pm}0.10$. This result suggests the possibility for developing a processed chili pepper products.

Four different mixing ratios of Rose rugosa Thun and Vitis amurensis (Moru) were prepared. These included Rose rugosa Thun two vs. Moru one (Moru 33), Rose rugosa Thun one vs. Moru two (Moru 67), Rose rugosa Thun one vs. Moru five (Moru 83), and Moru (Moru 100). Their physiochemical changes were investigated during 28 days of fermentation followed by aging. The final brix, pH, and total titratable acidity values of the four experiments were in the following ranges: 6.0-8.2$^{\circ}$Bx, 3.87-4.03, and 0.94-1.18%, respectively. Final ethanol contents were 6.5% in Moru 33, 11.8% in Moru 67, 11.1% in Moru 83, and 11.4% in Moru 100. As the amount of Rose rugosa Thun increased, anthocyanin content, color intensity, organic acid, and free amino acid concentrations were reduced. These findings demonstrate that the supplementation of Rose rugosa Thun to Moru prior to alcohol fermentation may help change the acidity, colour, and taste in the final product.

The effect of sweet potato on the quality of Doenjang was investigated during fermentation. Viable cells of yeast decreased gradually after 4 weeks of fermentation, but those of aerobic bacteria increased in the late stage. Amylase activity of Doenjang was higher in the late stage of fermentation, while neutral protease maintained high activity during fermentation. Hunter L and b values of Doenjang decreased gradually during fermentation, while a value was increased. The pH of Doenjang decreased gradually until 10 weeks of fermentation, and the titratable acidity was low in the sweet potato added groups. The acid value was low in the Shinyulmi sweet potato added Doenjang. Water activity and oxidation-reduction potential of Doenjang decreased during fermentation. Reducing sugar of Doenjang decreased in the middle stage of fermentation, and it was low in sweet potato added groups. The alcohol content of Doenjang decreased after 2 weeks of fermentation. Amino and ammonia-type nitrogen of Doenjang increased during fermentation and reached the maximum after 10 and 12 weeks of fermentation, respectively. After 12 weeks fermentation, 8% of Shinyulmi sweet potato added Doenjang was more favorable taste, flavor and overall acceptability (p<0.05) than the control or the Yeonwhangmi sweet potato added groups.

The physiochemical property, nutrient composition, and functionality of apple juice sterilized at a low temperature (LT, $70^{\circ}C$, 30 min) or a high temperature (HT, $100^{\circ}C$, 20 min) were analyzed. The pH of the apple juice that was sterilized at LT (pH 4.72) was higher than that of the apple juice that was sterilized at HT (pH 4.57), and the acidity of the apple juice that was sterilized at HT (8.90%) was higher than that of the other sample. The sugar content of the two apple juice samples was 15 $^{\circ}Brix$, and the apple juice samples had high potassium, malic acid, and glutamic acid contents. The total polyphenol contents of the apple juice samples that were sterilized at LT and HT were 27.39 mg/100 mL and 23.24 mg/100 mL, respectively. The apple juice that was sterilized at LT had a significantly stronger DPPH radical scavenging activity than the apple juice that was sterilized at HT ($p$ <0.01), and the apple juice that was sterilized at LT had a lower hydroxyl radical scavenging activity level than the other apple juice. Finally, the apple juice that was sterilized at LT showed significantly stronger activities that inhibit enzyme-related oxidation than the apple juice that was sterilized at HT ($p$ <0.05).

This study demonstrated that the physiochemical properties and anti-oxidants activities of soy sauce with Oak mushroom (MK) and Astragalus memyranaceus (AK) improved in sensory acceptability and functionality during the ripening period of 30 days. The pH content was reduced and the total acidity content was increased with time. The total sugar of AK and MK was higher than traditional soy sauce (TK), and the changes in amino nitrogen of the AK increased dramatically from 0.50 to 0.98%. During the antioxidant experiments, the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents increased at a steady rate and studies showed that the DPPH free radical scavenging activities were higher in all treatments except in the traditional soy sauce. According to the results of this study, the antioxidant activities of the AK and MK were higher than the TK, while the preference for the AK and MK was higher than the TK. In conclusion, the AK could be used as a functional soy sauce.

A 90-d trial was conducted to determine the influence of additives such as pegmatite (Peg), precious stone (PS), grape pomace extracts (GPEx) and complexes of these additives (Peg + GPEx and PS + GPEx) via evaluation of meat quality including sensory properties in 90 d old finishing pigs. There were no significant differences in the approximate composition and physiochemical characteristics, including meat color, among the treated groups. However, the Peg treated group was found to have a higher water holding capacity than the other groups. The shear-force was evaluated as an indicator of hardness and found to be lower in the Peg and GPEx treated groups, and this tendency was greater when the complex of Peg and GPEx was supplied. No significant differences were observed among groups following analysis of the free amino acid composition and fatty acid (FA) composition. Sensory evaluation of the boiled loins showed significantly (p<0.05) better results from pigs fed diets containing Peg and GPEx complex. These results suggest that Peg may improve the water holding capacity and tenderness. In addition, supplementation with a complex of Peg and GPEx may improve tenderness.

The potential use of modified clays in the adsorption of vapor phase benzene and toluene was investigated. The modified clays OC-CPC, IOC, and Al-PILC were prepared for comparative purposes and were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction. It was confirmed the intercalation of the aluminium pillar in IOC and Al-PILC, as well as the introduction of cetylpyridinium. The adsorption studies showed a great affinity of benzene and toluene for OC-CPC due to the hydrophobic character that resulted and also to the increase in the interlaminar distance. IOC showed a lower affinity for the benzene and toluene, followed by Al-PILC. Natual clay had no affinity for benzene and toluene due to its hydrophilic nature. Clay materials having a laminar structure can be chemically modified, changing their physiochemical characteristics, such as interlaminar distance, surface area, pore size, and chemical affinity. In this study, it was focused on obtaining modified clays to be used for the adsorption of volatile organic chemicals.

In this study the physicochemical properties and antioxidant capacities of ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc) Jungkwa with different kinds of sweeteners were determined. Jungkwa made with different sugars (sugar, xylitol, honey or oligosaccharides) were compared in aspect of physiochemical properties, antioxidant activities, total phenolic contents and sensory evaluation. Moisture contents Jungkwa treated different kinds of oligosaccarides showed highest value, in the order of honey, xylitol and sugar. $L^*$ value of Jungkwa treated with xylitol was the highest, $a^*$ value of Jungkwa treated with honey, sugar JungKwa were higher then others. Free sugar contents of Jungkwa treated with sugar showed the highest value in sucrose, glucose and galactose. Jungkwa with xylitol showed lowest value in all free sugar contents. Hardness and chewiness of Jungkwa treated with xylitol showed the highest value. The antioxidant activity measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity and total penolic content were the highest in Jungkwa treated with honey, followed by Jungkwa treated with xylitol, oligosaccharides and sugar. Appearance and color of oligosaccarides and honey treated Jungkwa were preferred. In ginger taste, sweetness, chewiness were highest in sugar treated Jungkwa (not significant difference in treatments). As a result, honey treated Jungkwa has higher antioxidant activity and quality than other sugar treatments.
