The purpose of this study was to determine the best ratio of tomato sauce with chili pepper powder. The investigation of food quality after preparing tomato sauce with chili pepper powder shall be as follows. Moisture was reduced when red chili pepper powder were added gradually, although protein, fat, ash, and carbohydrates were increased. pH values decreased as red chili pepper increased as organic acid was reduced. In case of colour, L-value and a-value were reduced, although b-value increased. Lycopene and ${\beta}$-carotene increased by adding red chili pepper by virtue of the existence of carotenoid. Polyphenol, flavonoid, and DPPH radical also increased with the addition of red chili pepper as a result of red chili pepper's antioxidant property. In an attribute difference test, smoothness showed a low score when red pepper powder was added, but graininess returned a high score as red pepper powder absorbed moisture. The result of the sensory test for sauce, TC2 showed the best score in overall acceptance, while TC3 showed the best score for sauce with pasta in overall acceptance. Tomato sauce with 3% of red pepper powder was shown to have the most acceptable quality and should have powerful manufacture competitiveness.

A beverage was developed using the Abeliophyllum distichum leaf (AL). The beverage was prepared by adding it to apple juice by concentration, and physicochemical quality, antioxidant activities, and sensory evaluation were measured. Soluble solid and reducing sugar content of the control were 12.57 °Brix and 11.40%, respectively, and there was no difference from the group with addition of the AL extract. However, pH was slightly increased upon addition of AL extract. Lightness and yellowness increased when AL extract was added. Verbascoside content was not detected in the control, but it increased as the concentration of AL extract increased. The contents of ascorbic acid and flavonoids were 5.38 and 20.42 mg%, respectively, and there was no significant difference between the groups. However, the content of polyphenols increased as the concentration of the AL extract increased. DPPH radical and metal ion scavenging activity were increased by addition of the AL extract, but there was no difference in the ABTS radical scavenging activity. As a result of the sensory evaluation, there was no difference from the control even wihen the AL extract was added; thus, it was considered that there was no problem with the degree of acceptability when added within about 300 ppm.

Applying ginger to processed foods to improve health is limited due to its pungent odor. In this study, fermented gingers were prepared using lactic acid bacteria from dairy products or kimchi and their chemical and sensory properties were examined. Adding dried ginger or fermented gingers (GSt, GLa, GLm) to plain yogurt made them less tasty and lowered the overall acceptability of yogurt except GLp. For all fermented gingers including GLp, the characteristic flavors of the ginger decreased by fermentation so adding fermented ginger into yogurt did not affect its flavor significantly. Thus GLp would be expected to be a food ingredient instead of dried ginger without lowering organoleptic qualities. The content of 6-gingerol, a bioactive component in ginger, decreased in all fermented gingers. However, 6-shogaol, which increased in GSt, GLa, and GLm, was not detected in GLp.

Nutritional compositions, volatile compounds, and sensory attributes of grilled and fast-chilled mackerel (Scomber japonicus) were analyzed in order to examine its practical utilization as a food resource compared to commercial frozen mackerel. In the proximate analysis, lipid contents were $27.3{\pm}2.7%$ in grilled and fast-chilled mackerel. Palmitic acid was the most predominant fatty acid (20.68% and 18.88%), and the percentages of polyunsaturated fatty acid were higher than 40% in both. No benzopyrene was found in the grilled mackerel, and even grilling was employed at $260^{\circ}C$. For chemical stabilities, para-anisidine value (8.56 vs. 9.26) and acid value (2.96 vs. 3.35) in grilled mackerel were improved compared to those of commercial mackerel. Moreover, color index of grilled mackerel, a physiological property, showed greater lightness than commercial mackerel. Lastly, analysis of volatile compounds by gas chromatographic analysis and sensory tests by trained panels demonstrated higher potential for grilled mackerel as a highly marketable product compared to commercial mackerel. Taken altogether, the above results provide important preliminary results for utilization of grilled and fast-chilled mackerel as a quality food.

Washed rice was coated by spraying aqueous dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) extracts at 20, 30, 40 $^{\circ}$Brix and dried at room temperature. The coating procedure was conducted 5 mL/min for 10min. Property changes in the dandelion coated rice and un-coated cooked rice were observed during 2 days of storage. Increasing the coating concentration was associated with lower color values (L, a value) and moisture contents. Sensory and texture properties generally decreased in the cooked rice coated with dandelion more than the control (non-coated rice). But, D-20(20 $^{\circ}$Brix of the dandelion concentration) resulted in better textural properties and sensory scores for hardness and overall acceptability in cooked rice. Compared to the control, the washed rice coated with 20 $^{\circ}$Brix for 0 and 2 days showed better quality in sensory activities, a lower gel consistency and better textural activities. It was concluded that the optimum coating ration of rice and added dandelion extract for cooking were 20 $^{\circ}$Brix and $5\%$ respectively, in proportion to the total weight of raw rice.

Sensory and physical qualities and palatable compounds of cultured flounder muscle were compared with the wild ones. No differences were seen in the contents of the moisture, lipid, protein between cultured and wild dorsal muscles, however, sensory panels preferred the wild fish to cultured ones because of the texture and taste of wild fish, and they could differentiate the degree of difference in the texture and taste property distinctly. Raw meat of the wild fish was harder and more elastic than the cultured ones, however, the cultured meat was harder and drier than the wild ones once they were cooked. The results of physical properties were similar to the results of sensory evaluation. Alanine was the most abundant compound among the free amino acids which make meat palatable and followed by glutamic acid, proline, methionine, and glycine. There was no difference in total content of free amino acids between two fish muscles. ATP was the most abundant among all nucleotides and their related compounds in both fish muscles followed by IMP, ADP, AMP, however, the total content of those was greater in wild fish muscle (9.4 ${\mu}$mole/g) than in cultured fish muscle (6.7 ${\mu}$mole/g).

The physicochemical and organoleptic properties of Korean pickled cucumbers were studies for their changes during fermentation. The Korean pickled cucumbers were prepared by salting in 5-15% NaCl solution and fermented for 7-10 days. The results showed that the increase of salt concentration in cucumber had a linear relationship with logarithmic value of brining time. The higher NaCl concentration in salt solution resulted a rapid salt penetration into cucumber while the rate of changes in pH, the total acidity and turbidity were reduced. The color of cucumber surface were changed from green to yellow-green color as the fermentation progressed. The hardness of cucumber decreased repidly after one day of fermentation, followed by a little decreased until it reached to pH 3.2. A little increase in pH and decrease in total acidity were measured thereafter. The evaluation of sensory quality showed that the acidic and fresh cucumber-like-flayer decreased and yeast-moldy increased as the fermentation progressed. The sensory changes were more evident for lower salt concentration of NaCl solution. The softness of cucumber became to be significant from 4th day of fermentation in 5% salt solution.

This study evaluated the effects of dietary fiber extracted from rice bran (rice bran fiber) on the quality of low-fat tteokgalbi. The controls were formulated with 20% added fat. Test samples of tteokgalbi were produced with 5 different formulations containing 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5% rice bran fiber as a fat replacer, in addition to 10% fat. The control had the highest fat content, energy value, cooking loss, reduction in diameter, reduction in thickness, CIE $L^*$-value (lighness), and color of sensory properties. The tteokgalbi containing rice bran fiber had higher moisture, protein, ash, and carbohydrate contents than the controls. Tteokgalbi with 3% rice bran fiber had the lowest cooking loss, reduction in diameter, and reduction in thickness. Meat products containing 2 and 3% rice bran fiber had a higher overall acceptability similar to the high fat control.

This study was to investigate the effect of 5~20% soybean flout(SBF) and/or 0.5~5% calcium on the quality of bread. pH of bread was increased with increasing an amount of SBF and calcium. pH of bread was higher than that of dough. The scores of specific volume and sensory evaluation for the bread quality were shown higher and increased its relative volume in the group of added both of 5~15%, SBF and 0.5~2%, calcium Endothermic peak for a thermal property of bread was increased with increasing the storage time of bread. The bread staling was progressed rapidly in control and calcium added groups only. with increasing an amount of SBF, L values of bread was decreased, but a and b values were increased. However, L, a and b values were shown no difference in the group of calcium added only. Therefore, the optimum blending ratios of SBF and calcium for the quality of bread were 5~10%, SBF and 0.5~1% calcium, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the quality characteristics of bread with added saltwort powder in the amounts of 0%, 3% 5% and 7% based on the wheat flour weight The results were as follows. The 7% group had the lowest water content and the highest content of ash and protein. There were no significant differences in fat content between any samples. There were also no significant differences in dough weight between samples, but after baking, the control showed the lowest weight. Baking loss increased with increasing amounts of saltwort powder. The bread volume was the highest with the control group, and its specific volume decreased as the ratio of saltwort increased. By the color difference meter, the L value became lower as the ratio of saltwort powder increased, and the saltwort powder groups had higher a and b values than the control group did. Hardness was at a minimum in the control group, and it increased with increasing amounts saltwort powder. There were no differences in springness between samples. Cohesiveness tended to decrease, and chewiness an brittleness increased. with increasing amounts of saltwort powder. In sensory tests, the 3% group showed the highest color, flavor, and taste. Aircell sizes were greatest with the control group. The higher the ratio of saltwort powder, the higher the aircell size became. Softness was the highest within the 3% group, as was the overall preference.
