To develop tofu enhanced nutrition, storage stability and bioactivity, the soft tofu supplemented with red ginseng extract was prepared. Then, quality characteristics including storage stability, physical and chemical property, antioxidative activity, and sensory evaluation were measured. The pH and acidity of control tofu without red ginseng extract were not different from those of tofu supplemented with red ginseng extract during storage. The aerobic bacteria in the control tofu were detected from 10 days of storage whereas the number of total aerobic bacteria was reduced or not detected in the tofu added red ginseng extract during storage. The lightness and redness of the tofu supplemented with red ginseng extract were lower than those of control, but yellowness was higher. The addition of red ginseng extract did not also affect the texture of tofu, and increased lipid peroxidation inhibition and DPPH radical scavenging activity. Although the soft tofu manufactured with red ginseng extract showed a lower sensory preference in supplementation over 0.20% due to color, there was not much difference found until 0.18% red ginseng extract addition.

This study was performed to investigate the physico-chemical properties of Holstein steer beef loin (M. longissimus dorsi) and top round (M. semimembranosus) from 18, 21 and 24-mon old. The loin and top round muscles from the 24-mon group had higher intramuscular fat content (%) than the other groups (p<0.05); however, the protein content was not significantly different among the 3 groups (p>0.05). With regard to meat color (CIE), the lightness ($L^*$), redness ($a^*$) and yellowness ($b^*$) values of the loin were significantly higher for the 21- and 24-mon groups, and those of the top round were significantly higher for the 21-mon group than the same cuts in the other groups. The Warner-Bratzler shear force was the lowest at 24 mon for both the loin and top round muscles (3.69 kg); however, the water holding capacity was significantly higher for loin muscles from the 21-mon group (54.53%, p<0.05). The loin muscles from the 24-mon group contained significantly higher levels of monounsaturated fatty acid and significantly lower levels of saturated fatty acid than those in the other groups (p<0.05). The tenderness, juiciness, flavor-likeness and the overall-likeness scores were significantly higher for beef from the 21- and 24-mon groups than that from the 18-mon group. The results of this study indicate that both the slaughtering age and muscle type significantly affect meat quality. Therefore, fattening the beef for more than 4 mon during the late fattening stage would be advantageous for the meat quality of Holstein steers.

The effects of medicinal mushroom (Sparassis crispa) powder supplementation on the rheological property of dough and the quality of bread were investigated. Naturally dried S. crispa powders (NDSCP) and freeze-dried ones (FDSCP) were prepared. Farinograph profiles of dough showed that mushroom powder addition at levels higher than 1% led to reduced dough stability suggested by decreased development time and increased weakness. The incorporation of S. crispa powders was significantly (p<0.05) lower compared to other mushrooms which might be attributed to its high content of beta-glucan. FDSCP was chosen over NDSCP because of its fragrant flavor which could be ascribed to the preservation of volatile polyphenol components. The quality of FDSCP bread was evaluated with respect to specific volume, texture, color, and organoleptic qualities. The specific volume of bread with S. crispa powder decreased compared to the control, while textural properties, such as hardness, chewiness, and gumminess, were enhanced. Sensory evaluation showed that 0.3% FDSCP incorporation presented the highest bread quality. With its daily consumption, S. crispa supplemented bread can provide consumers with multiple health benefits.

Quality characteristics of white breads added with different levels of jujube extracts were investigated. Addition of jujube extract significantly decreased L-value, and increased a and b-values. Addition levels up to 70% did not have significant effects on the texture of breads. Significant increases in the hardness, chewiness, and gumminess were observed in 100% jujube-added group. Additive levels over 50% jujube showed good sensory scores compared with control bread in color, flavor, taste, and general palatability. Textural property increased with increasing amount of jujube extract. Results showed substitution of 50-70% jujube extract for water improved bread quality.

In this study, frozen mulberries were dried with the methods of freeze-drying and hot-air drying and powdered to make healthy functional bagels by adding 0% (control), 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7% of mulberry powder. After measuring the general ingredients, physiochemical property, total polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging of frozen mulberries, the physiochemical property test and sensory test of manufactured bagels were carried out. The pH of the bagels appeared to be higher in the group with the addition of hot-air dried mulberry powder than in the group with the addition of freeze-dried mulberry powder. Luminosity (value L) and yellowness index (value b) appeared to be higher in the group with the addition of hot-air dried mulberry powder than in the group with the addition of freeze-dried mulberry powder. Redness index (value a) appeared to be higher when freeze-dried mulberry powder was added than when hot-air dried mulberry powder was added. Hardness showed a significant difference in the group with the addition of freeze-dried mulberry powder while the group with the addition of hot-air dried mulberry powder showed the opposite result. Elasticity did not have any significant difference in the group with the addition of hot-air dried mulberry powder while it showed a significant difference in the group with the addition of freeze-dried mulberry powder. Cohesiveness did not show any significant difference and gumminess showed the tendency of decrease as the added quantity of freeze-dried mulberry powder and hot-air dried mulberry powder increased. The preference of the group with the addition of 5% freeze-dried mulberry powder and the group with the addition of 3% hot-air dried mulberry powder appeared to be the highest.

The quality of Ramyon prepared from hard red winter-western white (HRW-WW) and dark northern spring-western white (DNS-WW) flour blends having protein contents of 9.12-9.78% was examined. The noodles were manufactured by commercial process with the same water absorption. The weight and volume of cooked noodle were decreased as the protein content increased at the same cooking time. No significant differences in cooking properties were observed between noodles prepared from HRW-WW and DNS-WW blends. The weight and volume of noodle prepared from HRW-WW blend cooked for 4 min showed significant negative correlation with farinograph and extensograph data and protein contents of flours, but positive correlation with amylograph data. Such correlations were not found from noodles prepared from DNS-WW blend. Based on the sensory evaluation of cooked noodle it was concluded that the optimum protein content for noodle manufacture was in the range of 9.28-9.62%. The replacement of HRW with DNS flour had no effect on the sensory quality of noodle.

This study was performed to determine the quality characteristics of Jeungpyun with added modified starch. The addition of modified starch did not change the pH level of the samples, but it did increase the volume. The b-value of Jeungpyun with 3% modified starch was significantly lower than that of the control group. The addition of 3% modified starch also significantly increased the hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess and chewiness of the experimental group over the control group. In the test of sensory characteristics, the cell size of Jeungpyun with 2 and 3% modified starch was larger than that of the control group. Cell uniformity of Jeungpyun with 2% modified starch was lower than that of the control group. The hardness of Jeungpyun with modified starch was significantly higher than that of the control group. In the test of taste preference, Jeungpyun with modified starch beat the control group substantially. The quality of Jeungpyun with 1 and 3% modified starch showed a higher overall score than that of the control group.

The curd yogurt was prepared from milk or milk added with skim milk powder or soy proteins. Acid production by lactic acid bacteria in milk containing additive of 2% was investigated and quality of curd yogurt(sensory property and keeping quality) was examined. Some organic acids in curd yogurt were analyzed by HPLC. The soy proteins, particularly defatted soy flour or soy flour, stimulated acid production by lactic acid bacteria more than skim milk powder. Among the four organisms tested, Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus bulgaricus produced more acid than L. casei and L. delbrueckii. HPLC analysis of organic acids in curd yogurt showed that the amount of lactic acid and acetic acid markedly increased during the fermentation by L. bulgaricus for 24 hours while the amount of citric acid markedly decreased. The major organic acid produced during the fermentation was lactic acid. Addition of soy proteins to milk reduced sensory property of curd yogurt. Among the soy proteins tested, soy protein concentrate or soy protein isolate added sample showed better sensory acceptability than other samples. When curd yogurt was kept at $5^{\circ}C$ for two weeks, titratable acidity, pH and number of viable cells of curd yogurt were not changed.

The curd yogurt was prepared from milk or milk added with skim milk powder or four types of rice powder. Acid production by lactic acid bacteria in milk containing additive of 2% (w/v) was investigated and quality of curd yogurt (sensory property and keeping quality) was examined. Some organic acids in curd yogurt were analyzed by HPLC. Four types of rice powder, particularly brown rice, stimulated acid production by lactic acid bacteria more than control (milk yogurt). Among four organisms tested, Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus bulgaricus produced more acid than L. casei and L. delbrueckii. HPLC analysis of organic acids in curd yogurt showed that the amount of lactic acid markedly increased during the fermentation by L. bulgaricus for 24 hours while the amount of citric acid markedly decreased. Addition of rice powders to milk slightly reduced sensory property of curd yogurt. Among four types of rice powder tested, tongil rice added sample showed better sensory acceptability than other samples. When curd yogurt was kept at $5^{\circ}C$ for two weeks, acidity and number of viable cells of curd yogurt were not changed.

This study investigated the quality properties of smoked breast meats produced by fresh and frozen-thawed duck meat. Each thirty breast meats from fresh and frozen-thawed duck carcass was used for this study. The yield of smoked breast meat was measured right after curing and smoking of raw duck breast meat. And, the number of total aerobic bacteria, color, texture, and sensory property of vacuum-packaged smoked breast meats were evaluated during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. No significant difference was found in yield between smoked breast meats produced by fresh and thawed duck meats (p>0.05). The number of total aerobic bacteria and color of smoked breast meat produced by thawed duck meat were not significantly different compared with those by fresh one throughout storage period (p>0.05). The all texture properties were not significantly different between smoked breast meats produced by fresh and thawed duck meats by 14 days of storage (p>0.05). However, on day 21 and 28, the hardness and gumminess of smoked breast meat produced by fresh duck meat were significantly higher than those by thawed one (p<0.05). In sensorial property, smoked breast meat produced by thawed duck meat received significantly high scores in color, juiciness, and tenderness on days 0, 14, and 28 and in flavor and overall acceptance on days 0 and 14 compared with those by fresh one (p<0.05). Therefore, we concluded that the use of thawed duck meat for producing smoked duck meat product may be not worse than the use of fresh duck meat in quality of smoked duck meat product. In addition, the use of thawed duck meat may be better in sensorial quality of smoked duck meat product than that of fresh one.
