With the advancement and diversification of the bread industry, eco-friendly products with less sugar and salt, and containing functional ingredients are being developed. To develop healthy bread, Korean pine leaf powder was added in different proportions (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%), and the quality characteristics of the bread, namely height, moisture, color value, texture, antioxidant property, and sensory characteristics were evaluated. As the amount of leaf powder was increased in the bread, L-value in the range of 53.45~85.05 (p<0.001) and adhesiveness in the range of 0.13~0.32 mJ (p<0.001) decreased significantly, whereas b-value in the range of 16.75~30.74 (p<0.001), total polyphenol content in the range of 466.83~669.13 ug/mL, ABTS- in the range of 0.46~43.23%, DPPH-radical in the range of 1.39~45.76%, scavenging capacities (p<0.001), color in the range of 3.27~5.40 (p=0.017) and texture in the range of 4.33~4.80 (p=0.006) preferences increased significantly. This study could increase the utilization of Korean pine leaf and the production of healthy food with antioxidant properties.

The effects of bromelain and $\alpha$-chymotrypsin treatments on the functional properties(foaming capacity, foaming stability, emulsifying capacity, and emulsifying stability) of soy protein isolate(SPI) and the addition of various sweeteners(sucrose, sorbitol, xylitol) on the quality attributes(viscosity, overrun ratio, melt-down property, and sensory characteristic) of soy ice cream were studied. SPI was more effectively hydrolyzed with $\alpha$-chymotrypsin than bromelain, resulting in a better foaming and emulsifying capacity. Adding xylitol could significantly improve the viscosity, overrun and melt-down property of soy ice creams while the effect was the lowest in the sucrose addition. Bromelain treatment caused a lower apparent viscosity of SPI suspension compared with $\alpha$-chymotrypsin treatment and untreated. The overrun ratios of the soy ice cream prepared with bromelain and $\alpha$-chymotrypsin treated SPI were 18.9∼25.9% and 24.9∼40.3%, respectively as a result of freezing with agitation for 20 min in an ice cream maker. Comparatively, untreated SPI could bring only 15.8∼21.4% overrun ratios after operating for 15 min. The bromelain treatment caused high melt-down tendency of the product while soy ice cream with untreated SPI showed an opposite trend. In sensory characteristics, no significant differences in the strength of beany flavor were noted among the samples. Sweetness, bitter taste, icy feel, and mouthfeel of the product were greatly affected by the enzyme-treatment of SPI. Soy ice cream added with xylitol after $\alpha$-chymotrypsin treatment was the most acceptable among all samples.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the quality properties of noodles to which browned oak mushroom (Lentinus edodes) paste was added at concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30% to wheat flour, respectively. With regard to the cooking properties of the noodles, the weight and water absorption of the cooked noodles increased with increasing paste contents, but the turbidity of the noodle soups decreased (p<0.05). The hardness and gumminess of the uncooked and cooked noodles decreased significantly in proportion to the quantity of added paste, except in the case of the cooked noodles with 30% paste. The springiness and cohesiveness of both noodles with Lentinus edodes paste were significantly higher than in the controls. The lightness of the uncooked and cooked noodles decreased in accordance with the amount of added paste. However, the yellowness of both noodles was significantly increased. Moreover, the results of our sensory evaluation showed that the cooked noodles with 20% and 30% added Lentinus edodes paste had higher values. Thus, Lentinus edodes paste added to a concentration of up to 30% was shown to effectively improve the quality of noodles.

Purpose: Gongju is a famous area for chestnuts, which contain various nutrients and phytochemicals. This study aimed to develop gochujang items using Gongju chestnuts and analyze nutritional properties for the best item by sensory evaluation in order to increase marketability of chestnut processed foods. Methods: Gochujang was prepared, and nutrient contents of gochujang were analyzed according to the methods of the food fair by Korea Food Research Institute. Three kinds of gochujang, including general (control)-, dried chestnut powder-, and chestnut syrup- were prepared. Sensory evaluation was performed on three kinds of gochujang by 45 adults, including males and females (20's~60's years of age). Results: Chestnut syrup-gochujang was evaluated as significantly higher than general- or dried chestnut powder-gochujang by sensory evaluation. Thus, nutrition facts were produced for chestnut syrup gochujang. Nutrient contents per 100 g of chestnut syrup gochujang and traditional gochujang in the literature were similar in terms of total carbohydrates and fat, whereas protein content was higher and sodium content was lower in chestnut syrup gochujang than in traditional gochujang in the literature. Conclusions: The results imply that chestnut syrup gochujang has nutritional benefits such as higher content of protein and lower content of sodium than traditional gochujang in the literature, in addition with its good taste. Therefore, chestnut syrup gochujang may have high usage potential. There is a need to improve the quality and storage of chestnut syrup gochujang through future study.

Effects of adding of dandelion flour on the quality characteristics of bread were investigated. Dandelion flour was substituted at levels of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0% to wheat flour for bread making, respectively. Quality characteristics of bread such as dough yield, dough microstructure, loaf volume, bread yield, crumb color, mechanical property and sensory evaluation were analyzed. Addition of dandelion flour to wheat flour increased dough yield, loaf volume and bread yield. And, addition of dandelion flour caused a decrease in the lightness and an increase in the redness. The results of texture evaluation revealed that hardness, chewiness, springiness of bread increased as the level of dandelion flour was increased. As the addition level of dandelion flour increased, flavor balance, bitterness, aftertaste, grassy odor of bread increased but overall acceptability, moistness decreased. In conclusion, bread with 0.5% leaf powder was the best quality in bread properties.

Asparagus, which was known to be a good source of dietary fiber and vitamins, has been reported to possess various medical actions such as antioxidant and blood pressure regulating effects. In order to examine the quality and antioxidant characteristics of asparagus, asparagus sponge cakes were prepared with different ratios of freeze dried asparagus powder (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, w/w) in this study. With the increase of asparagus powder content in the sponge cakes, the specific gravity and baking loss increased while the dough yield decreased significantly. The moisture contents of the sponge cakes were not significantly different between the control and the cakes prepared with asparagus powder. The pH of the sponge cakes decreased significantly with increased amounts of asparagus powder. Furthermore, the pH of the sponge cake containing 8% asparagus powder was the lowest at 7.49. With the increase of asparagus powder content in the sponge cakes, lightness (L) and redness (a) decreased, whereas yellowness (b) increased. In texture analysis, the hardness and chewiness of the sponge cakes increased as the asparagus powder content increased, while the cohesiveness of the sponge cakes with asparagus powder decreased. Both total polyphenol content and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) radical scavenging activity increased significantly with increased levels of asparagus powder content in the sponge cakes. In a sensory evaluation using a scale of 1-7, the sponge cake containing 8% asparagus powder had the lowest sensory preference scores. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that sponge cake prepared with 6% asparagus powder is the most appropriate product for quality characteristics.

Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) is a vegetable that has been reported to have a variety of pharmacological effects such as antioxidant and antitumor effects. In order to examine the quality characteristics and antioxidant characteristics of asparagus, asparagus Sulgidduck was prepared with different ratios of freeze-dried asparagus powder (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%, w/w). As asparagus powder content in Sulgidducks increased, moisture contents of Sulgidducks decreased significantly. The pH of Sulgidducks decreased with higher amounts of added asparagus powder. Furthermore, the pH of Sulgidduck containing 4% asparagus powder showed the lowest value of 5.98. As asparagus powder content of Sulgidducks increased, L-value (lightness) decreased while a-value (redness) and b-value (yellowness) increased. In texture analysis, hardness and chewiness of Sulgidducks with freeze-dried asparagus powder increased with higher asparagus powder. The cohesiveness of Sulgidducks containing 4% asparagus powder showed the lowest value of 65.72%. Both total polyphenol content and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) radical scavenging activity increased significantly with higher levels of asparagus powder content in Sulgidducks. In the sensory evaluation using a 7-point test, Sulgidduck containing 2% asparagus powder showed the highest sensory preference scores. Therefore, the results of this study suggest addition of 2% asparagus powder is the most appropriate ratio for making Sulgidduck with optimal quality characteristics.

We prepared Tofu-sulgi by adding tofu and then analyzed the final product in terms of its nutritional quality, rheological characteristics and sensory tests. While the calorie quantity of Sulgi with Tofu was relatively low compared to that of Baeksulgi, it contained the dietary fiber, calcium and iron that were not present in Baeksulgi. Since Baeksulgi holds a large amount of carbohydrates, it shows a higher weight due to its dense fiber. On the other hand, Sulgi with Tofu showed a relatively low level of tofu protein despite the increased amount of tofu protein. This demonstrated the soft characteristics of Sulgi with Tofu. Also, the results of the sensory test showed that Sulgi with Tofu exhibited a higher preference than Baeksulgi in terms of its taste, flavor and fiber content. The preparation method of Sulgi with Tofu in this study used the natural grinding of tofu without removing the moisture. Also the use of both non-glutinous and glutinous rice flour that can be obtained easily in the public market, are convenient due to their characteristics of easy storage and no property change. Therefore, the preparation method of Sulgi with Tofu is quite convenient as compared to that of traditional Dduk (Korean rice cake) including Baeksulgi. From the perspectives of nutritional content, rheological characteristics and taste preference, Sulgi with Tofu fared better than Baeksulgi. Considering the overall quality characteristics of Sulgi with Tofu, we believe that the addition of tofu could contribute positively toward the quality characteristics of Sulgi.

This study was conducted to investigate the meat quality and sensory properties of 12 major cuts from 10 Hanwoo bulls (25-32 mon of age) after they were aged at 2℃ for 0, 7, 14, and 21 d. Protein content (%) was between 19.17 and 22.50%. Intramuscular fat content ranged from 2.79 to 8.39%. The collagen content of the chuck roll, chuck tender, and short plate muscles was higher (1.97-2.04%) than that of the striploin muscles (1.48%) (p<0.05). CIE lightness (L*) values increased with an increase in aging days for tenderloin, loin, chuck roll, oyster blade, short plate, top sirloin, and eye of round muscles (p<0.05). Most muscles, except the short plate, showed no significant changes in redness CIE (a*) and yellowness (b*) color values during aging. The tenderloin, loin, and striploin showed significantly higher water holding capacity (58.60-62.06%) than that of chuck roll and short plate (53.86-57.07%) muscles (p<0.05). The Warner-Bratzler shear force values of most muscles decreased significantly as the aging period increased (p<0.05), exception the tenderloin. The chuck tender muscles showed the highest cooking loss, whereas tenderloin muscle showed the lowest (p<0.05). The tenderloin muscle had the longest sarcomere length (SL) (3.67-3.86 μm) and the bottom round muscle had the shortest SL (2.21-2.35 μm) (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, tenderness and overall-likeness scores of most muscles increased with increase in aging days. The tenderloin and oyster blade showed relatively higher tenderness and overall-likeness values than did the other muscles during the aging period. No significant differences were noted in juiciness and flavor-likeness scores among muscles and aging days.

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between sensory properties and Warner-Bratzler shear (WBS) for branded Hanwoo beef. Eight subprimal cuts purchased from the branded Hanwoo beef of 3 quality grades ($1^{++}$, $1^+$, 1) at 13 stores were determined the tenderness using WBS and evaluated the sensory properties (tenderness, flavor, juiciness, overall acceptance) by trained sensory panels. The results of sensory evaluation were analyzed by four WBS value classes (<3.46 kg, 3.46-4.09 kg, 4.09-4.72 kg, >4.72 kg). The results from the sensory evaluation (tenderness, flavor, juiciness, overall acceptance) for subprimal cuts of WBS force value less than 3.46 kg had high scores, whereas WBS force value more than 4.72 kg had low scores (p<0.05). Correlation coefficient of WBS measurements with sensory ratings was -0.67 (tenderness), -0.53 (flavor), -0.49 (juiciness), and -0.57 (overall acceptance). From these results, consumers can distinguish sensory taste of branded Hanwoo beef using WBS categories and beef industry can apply index of taste for brand Hanwoo beef by WBS categories.
