This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of lotus leaf and lotus root powder on the quality characteristics of sponge cake. Percentages of 4, 8 and 12% of two kinds of lotus powder were added to the batter based on flour content. Baking and cooling loss rate, volume and specific loaf volume, crumb color, texture, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and sensory evaluation of the products were analyzed. The baking and cooling loss rate of the control was lower than cakes with added lotus leaf and lotus root powder. The volume of the control was the largest, and as the amount of lotus leaf and lotus root powder increased, volume and specific loaf volume became smaller. The lightness and yellowness values of the control were higher than those of the experimental cakes, and the loaves with 12% added lotus root powder showed the lowest value. Redness of the experimental cakes increased. In the textual property evaluation, hardness of the control and sponge cakes containing 4% lotus leaf, and lotus root powder appeared to have the lowest value. As the amount of lotus leaf and lotus root powder increased, hardness increased. Springiness showed the same tendency, but cohesiveness of the control revealed the lowest value. The structure of the cake crumb by SEM, revealed that the crumb cells and grains of the experimental cakes were opened and coarse, as the amount of lotus leaf and lotus root powders increased. In a sensory evaluation, sponge cakes containing lotus root powder were preferred rather than those with lotus leaf powder. As a result, good sponge cakes were prepared by adding 4% lotus leaf powder or 8% lotus root powder.

Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is a by-product of beer manufacturing. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary fiber extracts from brewer's spent grain on quality characteristics of chicken patties. The total fiber content of BSG dietary fiber extracts after extraction increased from 58.11% to 68.57%, and the extracted dietary fiber extracts were added to chicken patties at 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4%, respectively. The effects of the BSG dietary fiber extracts on pH, color, cooking loss, reduction in patty diameter, salt-soluble protein solubility, texture, and sensory characteristics of chicken patties were evaluated. The addition of BSG dietary fiber extracts decreased pH and lightness values, and increased redness and yellowness. Chicken patties formulated with 3-4% BSG dietary fiber extracts had the lowest cooking loss among all treatments (p<0.05). The diameter of chicken patties was not affected by the addition of BSG dietary fiber extracts. Additionally, no significant difference was observed in salt-soluble protein solubility after adding 3% BSG dietary fiber extracts compared to that in the control. Textural and sensory properties were different among the chicken patties, and the 3% BSG dietary fiber-added chicken patty had the highest acceptability. Our results indicate that 3% BSG dietary fiber extract can be used as a good source of dietary fiber for improving the quality characteristics of chicken patties.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties and physiological activities of jelly prepared from gelatin, sugar, bokbunja extract, and different amounts (0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3%) of fermented sea tangle Saccharina japonica powder (FSP). The jelly moisture, pH, and sugar content slightly increased with increasing the FSP content. Hardness, springiness, gumminess, chewiness, and cohesiveness also increased with increasing FSP concentration. Jelly antioxidant activity did not change significantly with increasing FSP. In contrast, alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase activities in the jellies increased significantly with increasing FSP concentration. β-secretase inhibitory activity in jellies also increased with increasing FSP concentration. Jellies containing 0.5 or 1% FSP achieved the highest overall sensory acceptance scores. Taken together, these data indicate that addition of FSP to jelly appears to improve its quality and physiological activities.

Quality characteristics of tofu as affected by addition time (before or after coagulant) and the amount (0, 3, 6, and 9%) of astringent persimmon fruit (Diospyros kaki T. cv. Cheongdobansi) powder added were investigated. Yield and sensory acceptability were higher in tofu prepared by adding persimmon before than after adding the coagulant. The yield of tofu with added persimmon was higher than that of the control. The L value of the tofu decreased as the amount of added persimmon increased. Hardness, chewiness, and crispness of tofu made with 6% persimmon were higher than those of the others. DPPH radical scavenging activity tended to increase as persimmon concentration increased but no significant difference was observed between the 3% and 6% added persimmon treatments. A sensory evaluation showed no significant differences in aroma, beany, astringency, and texture. However, the 9% sample had the significantly lowest score for overall acceptability. Thus, astringent persimmon powder (3-6%, before coagulant addition) can be utilized as an additive during tofu processing.

In order to provide fundamental data on development of rice noodles, the quality characteristics of 10 kinds of commercial rice noodles were evaluated. Rice noodles were categorized into 3 groups for examination: 100% rice noodles with different shapes; round shape noodles with different rice contents; and noodles with different rice contents but smilar cooking method. Cooking properties, texture measurement, and sensory characteristics were evaluated. Frozen rice noodles and instant type of noodles made from composite flour of rice and wheat flour exhibited higher scores in overall acceptance. As for the form of noodle, round-shaped noodles seemed to be preferred in comparison to flat-shaped noodles. Generally, noodles with high texture scores of cohesiveness, adhesiveness, chewiness, resilience but not high score of hardness having smooth surface were preferred affecting overall acceptance scores. It appears that cooking methods and cooking time recommended by manufactures, noodle thickness and shape, packaging types such as frozen, refrigerated, and dried noodles were more influential than rice contents in aspects to the quality characteristics of the commercial rice noodle products in this study.

In order to make acquire a potential use for Opuntia humifusa as a natural functional food material, this study was performed to determine the quality properties of Jeung-pyun made with added Opuntia humifusa, or prickly pear powder. According to an analysis of its major components, we found that the prickly pear powder consisteds of nitrogen-free extracts (71.85%) and crude fiber (11.20%). Greater additions of prickly pear powder had resulted in significantly lower pH in the of Jeung-pyun. According to measurements on the degree of Jeung-pyun gelatinization, by means of ${\beta}$-amylase, greater additions of prickly pear powder led to the higher levels of isolated maltose, indicating that the gelatinization degree of the Jeung-pyun became higher. Also, samples with higher concentrations of prickly pear powder had a tendency toward lower water content, which allowed us to expect a longer storage duration for the Jeung-pyun. In the textural property tests the Jeung-pyun that had less hardness and greater adhesiveness (p<0.05) than the control group as the content of prickly pear powder became higher. Also, the Jeung-pyunhad lower gumminess and chewiness than the control group as the content of prickly pear powder became higher. Therefore, it is possible to prepare relatively soft Jeung-pyun using prickly pear powder. For the color differences of the Jeung-pyun samples, lower L- values, and higher a- and b -values (p<0.05) presented as the addition level of prickly pear powder became higher. According to SEM observations of the Jeung-pyun, the added prickly pear powder addition groups generally showed a smaller and more inconsistent pore size, but higher porosity, than the control group. According to sensory analyses of the Jeung-pyun, the P2 group scored highest for color item, and the P4 group generated the fermented scent. Higher additions content of prickly pear powder led to the lower score, but higher scores for adhesiveness. Finally, the P2 group achieved the highest score for overall taste.

In order to investigate the possibility of functional property improvement of meat products, four kinds of pork patties were prepared with water 10% as control, mugwort extract 10%, pine needle extract 10% and fatsia leaf extract 10%, respectively. In case of control moisture content was higher, but crude fat was lower, compared to patties treated with plant extracts. Crude ash content of pine needle extract treatment showed higher level than that of other patties. pH range of patties revealed to 5.92∼5.978. In raw patties Hunter's L-and a-value of control were higher than those of plant extract treatment, and a-value of raw patties showed higher level than that of cooked. Yield, water holding capacity, salt soluble protein extractability and gel strength among patties did not show significant differences. In control patty, fat retention was lower compared to other plant extract treatments, but water soluble protein extractability was higher compared to pine needle. Values such as hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness were not significantly different among the patties. In sensory scores such as aroma, juiciness and palatability, significant differences were not observed among cooked patties, but texture score was higher in the order pine needle, mugwort, fatsia leaf and control.

Fermented milk was prepared from skim milk supplemented with Salicornia herbacea extract powder (SHEP) at the levels of 0∼0.4% (wi v) and was fermented with Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus thermophillus and Bifidobacterium longum. Quality characteristics of prepared fermented milk were evaluated for acid production, visible cell numbers, viscosity and sensory property during fermentation at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 6 hr. Supplementation of 0.1% SHEP stimulated the growth of lactic acid bacteria which showed the highest number of viable cell counts (9.23 log CFU/ml), and also enhanced the acid production which was pH 4.23 and titratable acidity 0.64%, and increased the viscosity (1,365 cps) after 6 hr incubation. The sensory scores of fermented milk supplemented with 0.1% SHEP were higher than other supplemented contents in taste, texture, flavor, aftertaste and overall acceptability. When the storage abilities of fermented milk supplemented SHEP at 6$^{\circ}C$ for 12 days were evaluated, its quality-keeping properties were relatively good in the fermented milk supplemented with 0.1% SHEP.
