This study was conducted to investigate the effect of various natural ingredients for manufacturing meat products on the $D_{10}$ value and relative radiation sensitivity (RRS) of foodborne pathogens inoculated into ground beef. The pathogens used for this study were Salmonella Typhimurium (KCTC 1925), Escherichia coli (KCTC 41682), Listeria monocytoges (KCTC 3569), and Staphylococcus aureus (KCTC 11764), and the natural ingredients added into ground beef were garlic, onion, black pepper, hot pepper, ginger, green onion, carrot, and red wine. The $D_{10}$ of E. coli was decreased significantly by 5% of garlic addition (RRS=1.460), and the addition of carrot (RRS=1.086) and red wine (RRS=2.864) also showed similar results. Most natural ingredients were effective in increasing radiation sensitivity of L. monocytogens, but only garlic, onion, hot pepper, carrot, and red wine were effective against S. aureus. In particular, the addition of red wine to ground beef showed the greatest increase of radiation sensitivity for 3 pathogens tested in the present study, except for S. Typhimurium. Results indicate that the use of certain natural ingredients for manufacturing processed meat products may have effects in the increase of radiation sensitivity of pathogens. This increased radiation sensitivity can reduce the target irradiation dose for obtaining the same level of safety, resulting in lowering the adverse quality changes caused by a high-dose irradiation process.

This study was carried out to investigate characteristics of the red peppers for Kimchi preparation. Four cultivars of Korean red pepper with different color value, ten brands of commercial red pepper powder produced at different areas and paprika with imported from Spain were collected. These sample were analyzed for proximate composition, color, capsaicinoid and sensory evaluation, etc. Proximate composition was moisture of 12.6-17.13%, ash of 5.11-8.93%, crude lipid of 7.68-12.81% and crude protein of 11.35-16.72%. Free sugar content showed two-times among samples, the lowest sample was 11.35%(Shintaein), whereas the highest sample was 21.06% (Koisan). Capsaicinoid content of cultivars showed the highest value Dabok with 75.49 mg% and the lowest value Gusung with 18.77 mg%. American Spice Trade Association(ASTA) value, it was indicated redness of red pepper, showed very wide range of values with 47.3-144.7. Correlation coefficient($R^2$) of ASTA value and $a^* $was 0.87, while $R^2$ of 0.05 between of ASTA value and capsaicinoid contents. In sensory attributes, Dongbang(0.87 mg%) and Gusung(0.43 mg%) were not significantly different, while Dabok(1.74 mg%) was significantly different from other smaples in lag time, overall intensity and duration. The difference threshold of hot taste and ASTA value was over 1.0 mg%(capsaicinod content), 70(ASTA value), respectively.

To develope a manufacturing process of the Korean type hot sauce, ingredients and chemical components of the imported hot sauces were investigated. The major ingredients of the imported hot sauce were chili, vinegar and salt. Chemical analysis of the imported hot sauce showed: moisture; 44.73-95.66%, total nitrogen; 0.11-1.06%, reducing sugar; 0.03-3.18%, crude fiber; 0.42-2.51%, salt; 0.87-10.44%, pH; 3.22-4.05, titratable acidity; 1.18-3.62%, capsanthin; 0.44-1.06% and capsaicin; 2.40-4.28 mg%. With the red pepper powder and/or kochujang, 20 Korean type hot sauces were prepared. Chemical analysis of the Korean type hot sauce showed: moisture; 53.07-78.30%, total nitrogen; 0.34-0.68%, reducing sugar; 1.60-4.34%, curde fiber; 1.31-2.54%, salt; 4.07-5.56%, pH; 3.37-2.54, titratable acidity; 1.15-3.06%, capsanthin; 0.11-1.36% and capsaicin; 0.55-1.42 mg%. Chemical components except capsaicin of the Korean type hot sauce were similar to those of the imported one. As the results of sensory evaluation on the 20 Korean type hot sauces with red pepper powder and/or kochujang developed, three Korean type hot sauces were finally selected. As compared with Sriracha hot sauce, an imported hot sauce, the Korean type hot sauces were evaluated to be superior to the imported one.

The purpose of this study was to analyze factors affecting acceptance of four kinds of dak-jjim samples in third year school-aged children (n=100). Soy sauce, red pepper paste, Vietnam fish sauce, and star anise were applied to samples for their familiar and exotic characteristics. Significant differences among samples were observed in odor, taste, and acceptance (p<0.001). Soy (Soy sauce sample), RPPaste (Red pepper paste sample), and Soy_FishS (Soy sauce and Vietnam fish sauce sample) samples scored higher than Soy_StarA (Soy sauce and star anise sample) sample. On the other hand, there were no significant differences in intensities of saltiness, sweetness, and hot spicy flavor (p>0.05). Liked attributes in samples were saltiness, sweetness, chicken flavor, potato flavor, moistness of chicken, hot spicy flavor, and color. Disliked attributes in samples were hot spicy flavor, saltiness, and ginger flavor. Significant differences among samples were observed in familiar intensity and willing to try again (p<0.001). Soy, RPPaste, and Soy_FishS samples scored higher than Soy_StarA sample. Panels considered taste (46%) and nutrition (45%). Higher familiar intensity of sample was associated with higher acceptance in samples. In other words, familiarity of food affects acceptance of food. Therefore, familiar ingredients such as soy sauce and chicken can be used for development of Korean menu items considering taste and nutrition with enhanced Korean food acceptance in school-aged children.

Seven different cultivars of Korean red pepper, Capsicum annuum L., were collected from different growing areas and analyzed for pungent principles, redness, size and weight. Length of the pod varied in the range of $7.0{\sim}9.4\;cm$ total weight, $1.2{\sim}3.1\;g$, capsaicin content, $11.5{\sim}45.0\;mg%$, dihydrocapsaicin content, $8.5{\sim}35.1mg%$, and redness (absorbance at 460 nm), $6,270{\sim}7,810$ conventional color unit. Contents of capsaicins and redness were significantly different according to the cultivars but the two components were not correlated each other. According to the growing areas, contents of capsaicins and redness were significantly different. Capsaicins content was not significantly different but redness was significantly different between sun-drying and hot air-drying of the pods.

The purpose of this paper on Hoe (raw beef) is to investigate various kinds of its recipes, with equal focus on seasonings and sauces as well as its main and sub ingredients. The recipes of Hoe can be broadly classified into four large groups such as Salkogi Hoe(Red meat Hoe), Hankazi Naechang-yook Hoe(made from internal organs), Jap Hoe(1)(miscellaneous Meat Hoe) and Jap Hoe(II)(rolled with a whole pinenut) while the cook books written before 1945 indicate that the number of recipes reaches up to 21. The recipe of Salkogi Hoe comprises following three steps. Cut raw beef into thin strips and season them if necessary, then sprinkling sufficient pinenut powder on the strips. Its main sauce is hot pepper paste with vinegar. The recipe of Hankazi Naechang-yook Hoe uses kidney, manyplies, liver and tripes as main ingredients. Kidney should be thinly sliced with mixture of salt, seasame salt, seasame oil, and pepper as its seasonings. Regarding Manyplies, liver and tripes, there exists two possible ways to season them after cutting into strips. You can season with sesame oil and pepper or only with salt. Main ingredients of Jap Hoe(I) consist of beef, pork, kidney, manyplies, liver and tripes, among which minimum two ingredients are selected. Ingredients selected are sprinkled with pinenut powder after cutting into thin strips. And Hot pepper paste with vinegar is used as main sauce. The recipe of Jap Hoe(II) is to cut manyplies into pieces of 2Cm by 5 Cm without removing their black part and roll each piece with a whole peanut in such a manner that the peanut sticks from rolled piece.

Hot water treatment that is the most appropriate seed disinfection method for organic vegetable farming was evaluated in this study. Among the leafy vegetable seeds lettuce that was the most sensitive to hot water was suitable to treat at $45^{\circ}C$ for 25 min, while Chinese cabbage and radish seeds were optimally treated at $50^{\circ}C$ for 25 min. The treatments resulted in similar or higher seed germination rate than non-treated seeds and promoted plant growth. In addition, fungi such as Alternaria, Aspergillus, Penicillium, or Mucor grown on the seeds were suppressed over 90% and the bacterial growth on lettuce seeds reduced 98.5% by the treatment. Among the fruit vegetable seeds pumpkin that was vulnerable to hot water was suitable to treat at $50^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, while cucumber and hot pepper seeds revealed optimum treatment at $50^{\circ}C$ for 25 min as chinese cabbage and radish. The treatment also showed similar or higher seed germination rate and growth than non-treated seeds. Furthermore, fungi such as Rhizopus, Aspergillus, Penicillium or Mucor grown on the seeds reduced from 72.0% to 95.4%. The bacterial growth on cucumber and red pepper seeds was suppressed from 65.5% to 86.0% by the treatment. Results indicated that the hot water treatment is practical for disinfection of organic vegetable seeds and the optimum temperature and soaking time varied among the seeds.
