The effects of five different cooking methods (boiling, steaming, grilling, microwaving, and superheated steaming) on proximate composition, pH, color, cooking loss, textural properties, and sensory characteristics of chicken steak were studied. Moisture content and lightness value (L*-value) were higher in superheated steam cooked chicken steak than that of the other cooking treatments such as boiling, steaming, grilling and microwaving cooking (p<0.05), whereas protein content, redness value (a*-value), hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of superheated steam cooked chicken steak was lower than that in the other cooking treatments (p<0.05). Fat content and ash content, springiness, and cohesiveness were not significantly different among the chicken steak cooked using various methods (p>0.05). Among the sensory characteristics, tenderness score, juiciness score and overall acceptability score were the highest for the superheated steam samples (p<0.05), whereas no difference in flavor scores were observed among the other treatments (p>0.05). These results show that marinated chicken steak treated with superheated steam in a preheated 250℃ oven and 380℃ steam for 5 min until core temperature reached 75℃ improved the quality characteristics and sensory properties the best. Therefore, superheated steam was useful to improve cooked chicken steak.

Barley leaves tea white bread were prepared by the addition of 0.005, 0.010, 0.015, and 0.020% hemicellulase to flour of the basic formulation. The experiments and control were then compared in terms of quality characteristics, including pH, total titratable acidity, fermentation power of dough expansion, specific volume, baking loss, moisture content, color, textural characteristics, internal surface appearances, and sensory qualities in order to determine the optimal ratio of hemicellulase in the formulation. There were no significant differences in pH and total titratable acidity of dough and bread among the experiments. Fermentation power of dough expansion were increased as incubation time increased. Bread made by the addition of hemicellulase had significantly higher specific volume than the control group. However, lightness and yellowness showed the reverse effect. Greenness was not significantly different among the samples. Baking loss was the highest at the 0.020% addition level, and moisture content was maximal with the 0.010% addition, while the lowest in the control bread samples. As hemicellulase contents increased, harness and fracturability decreased. Resilience was maximal with the 0.015% addition, and was minimal in the 0.005% group. In the sensory evaluation, color, flavor, softness, overall acceptability, barley leaves flavor, delicious taste, astringency, bitterness, and off-flavor were not significantly different among the samples. In coclusion, the results indicate that adding 0.010% hemicellulase in barley leaves tea white bread is optimal for quality and provides a product with reasonably high overall acceptability.

Effects of the steaming conditions on textural and sensory quality of rice cakes were investigated with respect to storage period. All steaming methods except microwave oven cooking were not remarkably decreased in moisture content during storage. Degree of gelatinization was shown much higher in the both of rice cakes prepared by the rice-cake steamer and steaming pot than those of microwave oven cooking sample. Effect of the different steaming conditions on the rice cake quality resulted that the sensory profiles (consistency, moistness and cohesiveness) were apparently improved in the cakes prepared with rice-cake steamer and steaming pot cooking than microwave oven cooking. The highest overall quality was shown in the samples cooked by rice-cake steamer. The rice cakes prepared by microwave oven showed the highest hardness and chewiness in the textural profiles, whereas the rice cakes prepared by the rice-cake steamer and the steaming pot showed the high gumminess.

Duck feet gelatin (DFG) gel was added as a fat replacer to low-fat frankfurters and the effect of DFG on physicochemical, textural, and sensory characteristics of low-fat frankfurters was evaluated. DFG gel was prepared with a 20% duck feet gelatin concentration (w/w). Adding DFG decreased lightness and increased yellowness of the low-fat frankfurters (p<0.05). However, DFG did not affect redness of low-fat frankfurters (p>0.05). The statistical results indicated that adding DFG improved cooking yield of low-fat frankfurters (p<0.05). In addition, replacing pork back fat with DFG resulted in increased moisture content, protein content, and ash content of low-fat frankfurters, and the low-fat frankfurter formulated with 5% pork back fat and 15% DFG gel had the highest moisture content and lowest fat content (p<0.05). Adding of DFG increased all textural parameters including hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and gumminess of low-fat frankfurters (p<0.05). In terms of sensory properties, the low-fat frankfurter formulated with 5% pork back fat and 15% DFG gel showed similar satisfaction scores for the flavor, tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptance when compared to the regular frankfurters (20% back fat). Therefore, our results suggest that DFG could be an effective novel source, as a fat replacer, for manufacturing of low-fat frankfurters.

The effects of low viscosity chitosan on the rheological properties of soymilk using a model system and on tofu qualities were examined. The flow behavior of soy milk with chitosan closed the Newtonian flow and stabilized according to increasing chitosan concentration. The soymilk containing $glucono-\delta-lactone$ exhibited a more pseudoplastic flow behavior compared with that of the control soymilk. The addition of low viscosity chitosan to the tofu preparation did not significantly affect its physicochemical properties. However, the results of the TEM image and instrumental textural properties showed that low viscosity chitosan affected the construction of the tofu structure. Chitosan tofu had low scores across the whole field of appearance in the sensory evaluation, and its overall eating quality was scored significantly lower. These results suggest that the addition of low viscosity chit os an affects the quality of tofu, which changes according to the degree of polymerization and concentration of chitosan.

This study was performed to evaluate the physicochemical and quality characteristics of dried noodles when different concentrations of Enteromorpha intenstinalis powder (EIP) were added to the wheat flour, thereby determining which noodle recipe was preferred. The cooking quality, mechanical texture properties, and viscosity of the prepared with noodles were measured, and then a sensory evaluation was conducted on them. The gelatinization points of the composite Enteromorpha intenstinalis powder-wheat flour were shown to have an increased viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 minutes. As measured via amylograph, the maximum viscosity values of those samples decreased with increasing EIP content. Also, when increased amounts of EIP were added, both the L and b values were reduced, whereas the a value was increased. The color values, weight and volume of the cooked noodles increased, as did the turbidity of the soup. With regard to the textural characteristics, the EIP additive increased hardness and reduced adhesiveness, cohesiveness and springiness. Overall, according to the results of our sensory evaluations, the noodles prepared with 5% EIP were preferred over other noodles.

This study examined the quality characteristics of dumpling shells prepared with 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% mulberry leaf powder. According to the amylograph data, the composite of mulberry leaf powder-wheat flour samples reduced the gelatinization temperatures, viscosities at $95^{\circ}C$, and maximum viscosity with increasing mulberry leaf powder content. The lightness (L) and redness (a) values decreased with increasing mulberry leaf powder content, whereas the yellowness (b) value increased. In addition, the weight, volume, and turbidity increased after cooking. In terms of the textural characteristics, addition of mulberry leaf powder increased the hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and adhesiveness. The DPPH free radical scavenging activity of the dumpling shells increased significantly (p<0.05) with increasing levels of mulberry leaf powder. The taste, chewiness and texture of the dumpling shells prepared with added 4% mulberry leaf powder were preferred. The sensory evaluation showed that the overall preference of the dumpling shell with the addition of 4% mulberry leaf powder was more effective than the control.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of waffles added with coconut powder. Coconut powder was substituted into waffles at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% weight amounts based on the total weight of wheat flour. The viscosity of batter tended to increase as the ratio of coconut powder increased whereas the measures of spreadability were not significantly changed. Baking loss rates tended to increase as the ratio of coconut powder increased while moisture contents were not significantly changed. The L-value and b-values decreased gradually while a-value increased. Among the textural characteristics hardness, springiness, chewiness, and gumminess tended to increase in proportion to the amount of coconut powder while cohesiveness and resilience were not significantly changed. The results of the sensory evaluation show that waffles made with 20% coconut powder were the most preferable in appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability.
