This study investigated the quality characteristics of cookies added with the powder of pomace powder, which was produced as a by-product in Korean rice wine (Takju). The quality of cookies was evaluated based on moisture content, color, hardness, and sensory evaluation. Cookies were prepared by addition of 0, 5, 10, and 15% Takju pomace powders to basic flour formulation. The pH values of dough added with Takju pomace powder were 3.04-6.52, which was lower than that of the control group. The moisture contents of cookies were 6.92-6.52% and were lowest in cookies added with 15% Takju pomace powder. The L value was reduced according to the increase in Takju pomace powder. On the contrary, a value increased. Especially, a value of the control was negative (-0.96) while those of cookies added with Takju pomace powder were positive. There were no significant differences in the b value of these cookies. For texture, hardness of cookies was lowest in 15% Takju pomace powder cookies. The results of the sensory evaluation compared to cookies with 10% powder Takju pomace were superior in appearance, taste and overall preference.

This study was the tenderizing activity of fig and kiwifruit using meat cooking. Furthermore, the effects of various seasonings and flavor spices were investigated. The proteolytic activity of kiwifruit was 36,513 uM/g fruit, whereas that of fig was 24,131 uM/g fruit. The best amount of fruit for meat cooking was 3~5% for kiwifruit and 5% for fig among three different dilutions, 3%, 5% & 10%. The effect of fruit ratio showed that treatment with 'kiwifruit only' produced the best organoleptic results, and there was no significant difference between the kiwifruit and fig ratios, 3:0, 2:1, 1:1. The best marinating time for meat tenderizing by fig and kiwifruit was 6hr at $4^{\circ}C$. The best marinating temperature for meat tenderizing by fig and kiwifruit was $25^{\circ}C$ rather than $4^{\circ}C$. Fruit sauce containing basic seasonings such as soy sauce, sugar, oligosaccharides, and sesame oil had a pH of 4.64 for fig and 4.23 for kiwifruit. The addition of soy sauce, oligosaccharides, and rice wine decreased the proteolytic activity of the fruits. Fruit sauce containing basic seasonings, garlic, ginger, onion and scallion had a pH of 4.71 for fig and 4.43 for kiwifruit. Finely chopped garlic, finely chopped scallion, and pureed onion, finely chopped ginger, and pear juice, all increased the proteolytic activity of the fruits. There the fruit sauce containing seasonings and flavory spices for meat cooking improved the tenderness and preference in terms of sensory evaluation without undesirable taste or increased fruits.

Sogokju, a Korean glutinous rice wine and one of the oldest Korean traditional wines, is famous for its unique taste acquired from a 100-day incomplete fermentation process. This study investigated the effects of the degree of rice milling on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Sogokju. It evaluated the physicochemical characteristics, pasting and color properties, and structural properties of starch using four different degrees of milled rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar Dongjinchalbyeo. Samples of brown rice with milling yields of 92%, 84%, 76%, and 68% were produced using both abrasive and friction whiteners. This study showed that the protein, lipid, and ash content of milled rice decreased as the degree of milling increased. The lower hardness of the kernel below milling yield 92% suggested that milling may be related to the lower protein content of the kernel. The pasting curve showed a significant increase in viscosity properties as the degree of milling increased. This is due to the decrease in protein and lipid content, the increase in starch content, and the difference in amylopectin chain-length distribution. Further milling of white rice, based on 92% milling yield, had an effect on the amylopectin chain-length distribution due to the degree of polymerization (DPn) of 37~60. The long chain of amylopectin also contributed to the viscosity. The increase in the degree of milling decreased the glucose and total sugar content of Sogokju. However, it increased the total acidity of Sogokju. Moreover, the lightness of Sogokju decreased while its yellowness increased. These results indicate that the degree of milling can alter the taste and color of Sogokju. The sensory evaluation showed that the increase in the degree of milling decreased consumer preference for Sogokju. The sensory score for Sogokju was positively correlated with its brix degree, glucose content, pH, and protein content of raw rice.
