This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics of sausages after addition of lentil and Opuntia ficus-indica ethanol extract. Seven sausages were prepared as follows : F0 (control), F1 (5% lentils), F2 (5% lentils + 1% Opuntia ficus-indica), F3 (5% lentils + 3% Opuntia ficus-indica), F4(10% lentils), F5 (10% lentils + 1% Opuntia ficus-indica), and F6 (10% lentils + 3% Opuntia ficus-indica). Addition of lentils increase dietary fiber and starch in sausage while lowering fat content. Starch is used in manufacturing sausage to stabilize and increase viscosity. Opuntia ficus-indica contains dietary fibers and therefore addition of it to sausage increases dietary fiber, much like lentil addition. Lightness decreased and yellowness increased in all treatments. Redness was lowered by lentil addition but enhanced by addition of Opuntia ficus-indica. Redness in F3 and F5 were similar with control. But, F5 was more similar with control in all colors. Addition of lentil and Opuntia ficus-indica improved texture in hardness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness. In sensory evaluation, color was lowered but taste was heightened by adding lentil and Opuntia ficus-indica extract. From results of this study, we could conclude that addition of mixture of lentil and Opuntia ficus-indica made sausage low in fat, with high in dietary fibers and starch. In addition, texture was increased and taste was better. F5 had the most similar color to control. We found out the optimal amounts of the two ingredients, lentil and Opuntia ficus- indica extract, were 10% and 1%, respectively.

To meet the needs of Muslim consumers, sausages were prepared using Halal-certified chicken thighs and different amounts of biji powder (0, 20, 30, 40, and 50%), and then the properties of the sausages were compared. As the biji powder levels increased, both the moisture content and the pH of the sausages significantly decreased, whereas their fiber content increased. As the biji powder levels increased, the free radical scavenging effect (DPPH, ABTS) and water holding capacity also increased, and the textural properties also improved. When Muslim consumers evaluated the sensory attributes of the sausages prepared in this experiment and those currently on the market, the ones prepared in this experiment were preferred over the market products. Based on the above results, chicken sausage for Muslim consumers could be successfully produced, and their overall quality and antioxidant effects could be improved by the addition of biji powder (up to 30%).

The physicochemical and functional properties of tofu prepared with kanghwang(Curcuma aromatica Salab.) were investigated, in order to study the effects of six different commercial coagulants. The coagulant concentrations were determined as 0.3% GDL, 0.3% $MgCl_2$, 1.0% $CaCl_2$, 1.5% $CaSO_4$, 0.45% mixed coagulant, and 1.5% Milky-Mg by pre-experiments. Also, the optimum concentration for the added kanghwang(Curcuma aromatica Salab.) was chosen as 0.01%. The yields of the kanghwang tofu prepared with Milky-Mg, mixed, and GDL coagulants were higher than those prepared with $MgCl_2$, $CaCl_2$, and $CaSO_4$. The pH of the kanghwang tofu prepared with the $MgCl_2$ coagulant was higher than when made with the other coagulants. The turbidity of the kanghwang tofu was highest when it was coagulated with GDL, and moisture content was highest or the of kanghwang tofu coagulated with $CaCl_2$. In the color analysis of the kanghwang tofu, the $L^{***}$ value was highest with the Milky-Mg coagulant, while the $a^{***}$ value was highest and the b value lowest with the GDL coagulant. For the textural properties, the hardness results were in the order of $CaSO_4$ > $CaCl_2$ > $MgCl_2$ > mixed > GDL > Milky-Mg, springiness, gumminess, and brittleness were highest in the tofu coagulated with Milky-Mg. For the overall acceptability of the sensory properties, the Kanghwang tofu that was made using the mixed coagulant had the highest score.

The objective of this study was to investigate the physico-chemical characteristics of chicken breast surimi processed by four times washing (C) and adjustment to pH 3.0 (T1) and pH 11.0 (T2). Water, crude protein, myofibrillar protein and yield of the treatment C were lower compared to other two treatments. Crude fat of T2 was higher than other two treatments. pH, WHC, breaking force and deformation were not different among the treatments. Shear force of T2 was the highest, followed by T1 and C. L* of T2 and a* of T1 were lower than other two treatments. b* of C was the highest, while T2 was the lowest. Brittleness and hardness in textural properties were not different among the treatments. Cohesiveness of T1 was the lowest among three treatments. Springiness and chewiness of T1 and T2 were higher than those of treatment C, respectively. Gumminess of T2 were higher compared to C and T1. Appearance and flavor in sensory evaluation were the highest in T1 and the lowest in C among three treatments. Color, aroma, juiciness, tenderness and overall acceptability were not different among the treatments. In conclusion, physico-chemical quality of chicken breast surimi was the highest in T2 among three treatments.

In this study, we prepared surimi from pork leg and chicken breast by pH adjustments of 3.0 and 11.0. The content of crude protein, yield, water-holding capacity, redness, yellowness, myoglobin(Mb) and metmyoglobin(metMb) were significantly higher in the surimi manufactured from pork leg at adjustment pH 3.0 compared to the other surimi samples; whereas whiteness, myofibrillar protein, breaking force, deformation and gel strength were lower than other samples(P<0.05). The textural attributes were significantly higher in the surimi manufactured from pork leg at adjustment pH 11.0 compared to the other surimi samples; whereas Mb, metMb, cooking loss, breaking force, deformation and gel strength were lower than other samples(P<0.05). Again, the content of crude protein, yield, pH, breaking force, deformation, gel strength and lightness were significantly higher in the surimi manufactured from chicken breast at adjustment pH 3.0 compared to the other surimi samples; whereas myofibrillar protein, redness and metMb were higher than other samples(P<0.05). The content of myofibrillar protein, deformation, lightness and cohesiveness were significantly higher in the suriml manufactured from chicken breast at adjustment pH 11.0 compared to the other surimi samples; whereas Mb, cooking loss, yield and breaking force were higher than other samples(P<0.05). The chicken breast surimi had superior color and gel characteristics than manufactured from pork leg, and adjustment pH 11.0 had superior whiteness and cohesiveness than the pH 3.0 adjusted sample, however, there were no significant differences in sensory attributes among the surimi samples.

The antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of jam prepared with black garlic were evaluated. Fructo-oligosaccharide or maltitol syrup was replaced with sucrose: control (sucrose), fructo-oligosaccharide (FTO), FTOM (sucrose 50%＋FTO 50%), maltitol syrup (MT) and MTM (sucrose 50%+MT 50%). The endpoint of jam preparation was determined to reach $64^{\circ}Brix$ of sweetness. There were significant differences in moisture content among the treatments, whereas acidity among treatments was not different. Reducing sugar content and viscosity were the highest in FTO (0.144%, 126,800 cP), whereas the lowest in control (0.074%, 101,600 cP). Lightness (L value), redness (a value) and yellowness (b value) of Hunter color system were the highest in FTO compared to the others. Hardness and springiness of textural properties were the highest in FTO. Antioxidant activities were the highest in FTO with the lowest $IC_{50}$ values (42.3 mg/g for DPPH and 22.4 mg/g for hydroxyl radical scavenging activities). Total phenol content was highest in FTO among treatments. The overall acceptance score of black garlic jam containing FTO showed the highest score among treatments. Based on these results, it was suggested that fructo-oligosaccharide was appropriate for good qualities both in physicochemical and antioxidative activities of black garlic jam.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of modified green gochujang, produced by Chengyang pepper powder and roasted soy powder. The moisture content of control gochujang (CON) made by red pepper powder was 32.64% whereas the content of sample 1 gochujang (S1) made by Chengyang pepper powder was 26.50%. Crude fat content of CON was 1.81% while the content of S1~S4 was a range of 2.64~2.80%. Furthermore, crude protein content of CON was 5.58% while the content of S4 was the highest value of 9.01 % In crude ash cases, S1~S4 groups were also increased to a range of 10.32~10.37% when compared to 9.91% of CON. Color properties of modified gochujang made by Chengyang pepper powder were significantly decreased in values of redness and yellowness, compared to that of CON. In pH test, it showed that pH 6.15 of S4 was significantly increased, compared to ph 5.26 of CON (p < 0.001). Total acidity of all sample groups has significantly decreased according to increased roasted soy powder than that of CON (p < 0.001). In textural properties, hardness of gochujang was a range of 622.33~3670.70 and S2 showed the highest value among others. Meanwhile, S4 showed the highest value in the adhesiveness, and S2 showed the highest gumminess. According to these results, modified gochujang was increased in nutritive values such as protein, fat, and various minerals, even though it was decreased in color and water contents. Therefore, modified gochujang would have beneficial effects on health, but it could be needed to find out the optimizing condition through a sensory evaluation for developing a new sauce using Chengyang.
