This study was conducted to optimize the level of sugar added (20 (control), 15, 10, 5%) during the preparation of soy sauce-salted mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii) jangachi without affecting the degree of preference. The salinity and sugar content during storage of soy sauce-salted mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii) jangachi decreased significantly as the level of sugar added decreased. The moisture content was found to increase as the level of sugar added decreased. Additionally, the pH increased, while hardness decreased as the level of sugar added decreased during 3 weeks of storage. The L value (lightness) was not different from that of the control group until the addition of 10% sugar, while the a value (redness) and b value (yellowness) increased. The antioxidant activity of vitamin C content and DPPH radical scavenging activity increased as sugar content decreased. Upon sensory evaluation of mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii) jangachi, the highest value in appearance was observed for the 5 and 15% treatments, while 5% had the highest flavor value, 15 and 10% had the highest taste values, 10 and 15% had the highest texture values, the control and 5% had the greatest clarification values, and the 15 and 10% groups had the greatest overall acceptance. These results suggest that a sugar level of 15% can be used without significantly affecting the overall acceptance.

Tomato sauce is widely known as a health food, In this study perilla leaf was added to a tomato sauce and the resulting functional improvements were assessed. The moisture of the tomato sauce WITH 2% added perilla leaf was 89.52%, the highest observed likewise, sample pH also significantly increased with 2% perilla leaf, to the highest pH of 4.71, (p>0.001). Lightness L value of the control group was the highest at 40.70, and the redness a value and yellowness b value were highest in, the control group, at 15.77, and 17.70, respectively. The highest salinity was foung with 2% perilla leaf, 0.96, and the sugar content with 2% perilla leaf, was 9.57. The reducing sugar was highest in the control with 63.08. The change in the total bacterial counts was measured during 9 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$, When perilla leaf was added to, the tomato sauce, no microorganisms were detected until 0~1 days of storage. After five days of storage, microorganisms were detected in the group with 2% perilla leaf. The control group ($1.8{\times}10^5$ CFU/ml) had the highest levels of microorganisms. As the amount of perilla leaf, the total viable count of microorganisms detected was less. In the acceptability test results, the color 6.9 of the 1.5% treatment group, received the highest evaluation. Flavor and taste of the 2% perilla leaf treatment group were highly appreciated at 6.1 and 6.6, respectively. The ranking of overall acceptability was 1.5%>1%>0.5%>10%>2% of perilla leaf; 2% perilla leaf was the most underrated. Based on these results, up to 1.5% perilla leaf could be added to tomato sauce and the commercial potential could be very high.

Objective: To determine the effect of three salting treatments (control, 100% NaCl; T1, 60% NaCl and 40% KCl; T2, 50% NaCl, 40% KCl, and 10% MgCl₂) on meat quality of sausages during storage. Methods: Various types of curing salts were used for processing of salamis. Physico-chemical and sensory evaluation of the sausages were analyzed during 4 weeks of ripening. Results: The pH values and salinity contents were the highest in control, while they were the lowest in T2 at 4 weeks (p<0.05). Control and T1 had less thiobarbituric acid reactive substances than T2 at 2 weeks (p<0.05). The volatile basic nitrogen levels in T1 were similar to control and lower than T2 at 2 and 4 weeks (p<0.05). Moreover, T1 samples were redder and had a higher saturation index (C^⋆) value when compared to the others. T2 showed greater hardness, gumminess and chewiness when compared with the control (p<0.05). Control was comparable to T1 for sensory attributes. Conclusion: Sodium chloride may be partially substituted with potassium chloride without negatively influencing meat quality of sausages up to 4 weeks of storage. These results could help to develop low-sodium sausages.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of kimchi with Allium hookeri powder (AHP) added during eight weeks fermentation at $4^{\circ}C$. AHP was added to salted cabbage at concentrations of 0, 0.1, 1, and 5% (w/w). The quality characteristics of the AHR-added kimchi were determined by measuring pH, acidity, salinity, reducing sugar, microbial amounts, and sensory properties. The vitamin $B_1$ and vitamin C contents of the Allium hookeri root were 0.04 mg/100 g and 5.76 mg/100 g, respectively. As for the mineral contents, the K content was highest, followed by the Ca, Mg, and Fe contents. The pH was higher in the kimchi with 0.1%, 1%, and 5% AHP than in the kimchi without AHP during the eight-week fermentation. The salinity ranged from 2.02% to 2.37% over the eight weeks. The microbial cells and lactobacilli increased rapidly throughout the fermentation in the exponential phase and hardly increased in the stationary phase. In the sensory evaluations, the overall acceptance, taste, and texture of the kimchi with 1% AHP added were highest. In conclusion, the kimchi with 0.1%, 1%, and 5% AHP generally showed better quality than the kimchi without AHP. Especially, the kimchi with 1% AHP had the best scores in quality and overall acceptance during the fermentation.

We compared two different processing methods for preparing high quality frozen in-shell baby clam products. In the first method, sand and mud were removed from the clams, then they were vacuum packed in polyethylene film, boiled at $97^{\circ}C$ for 6 min, and snap frozen in a cold air blast freezer (sample 1). The second processing method was similar, except the boiling process was excluded (sample 2). Both frozen products were boiled for 4 min, and then shucked and minced. Various quality metrics, such as the opening rates of shells, chemical composition, pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), salinity, thiobarbituric acid (TBA), amino-N, total amino acids and free amino acids were measured, and sensory evaluation was conducted. The opening rates of shells of sample 1 and sample 2 were 98.3% and 4.67%, respectively. The proximate composition of sample 1 and sample 2 was 75.2% and 78.7% moisture, 19.7% and 16.2% crude protein, 2.45 and 2.2% crude lipid, 2.8% and 2.1% ash, and 2.1% and 1.9% salinity, respectively. The L, a, b and ${\Delta}E$ values were similar: 48.6 and 49.2, 3.9 and 3.9, 15.7 and 15.5, and 50.7 and 50.1 for sample 1 and sample 2, respectively. The sensory evaluation score of sample 1 was higher than that of sample 2. Sample 1 was deemed to be superior to sample 2; therefore, we determined that the boiling process is needed for manufacturing high-quality frozen clam products.

We investigated the effects of Alaska pollack addition on the quality of Kimchi during 20 days of fermentation at 10C. Alaska pollack was added to salted cabbage at concentrations of 0%, 6%, 12%, or 18% (all w/w). The quality characteristics determined were pH, acidity, salinity, reducing sugar content, color, free amino acid level, and lactic acid bacterial counts, at 4 d intervals over 20 d, during progressive fermentation at constant temperature (10C). Changes in pH, acidity, and reducing sugar content during fermentation were increased when Alaska pollack was added, whereas salinity decreased. Total lactic acid bacterial counts achieved maximum levels on day 8 for Kimchi with 18% (w/w) Alaska pollack, and the other Kimchi samples attained their highest values on day 12. In terms of color, the L, a, and b values of Kimchi rose with addition of Alaska pollack. The free amino acid content of Kimchi increased as the level of added Alaska pollack rose but gradually fell as fermentation progressed. Upon sensory evaluation, Kimchi with 6% (w/w) Alaska pollack scored highest in terms of appearance, texture, taste, and overall acceptance. In conclusion, our results indicate that Alaska pollack has a positive effect on the quality of Kimchi, increasing the content of free amino acids.

To aid in manufacturing, this study investigated quality characteristics of onion Jangaji during maturation at 0C, 10C, 20C and room temperature. [Please check that the rewriting of the previous sentence retains the intended meaning]The $^{\circ}Brix$ of onion Jangaji and the maturation solution were 1516% at the end of the maturation process. The salinity of onion Jangaji and the solution increased, and the pH declined to 3.934.31 during processing. The L, a and b color values of onion Jangaji and the solution changed slightly. The total acidity of onion Jangaji and the solution rose slowly. The texture (hardness, fracturability, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness) of onion Jangaji was determined using a texture analyzer, and varied with storage temperature. In the sensory evaluation of onion Jangaji, low temperature storage gave higher acceptability ratings than room temperature with respect to taste, color, flavor, texture and overall acceptability.

This study was conducted to compare the quality and sensory characteristics of commercial kimchi containing different sodium contents. The salinity at day 1 post-manufacture in regular kimchi was 1.99%, while it was 1.56% in lowsodium kimchi, thus showing a 21.6% reduction in sodium content. The pH of low-sodium kimchi was much lower than that of regular kimchi and the pH was dramatically decreased in both samples after 5 days of storage. The total acidity of low-sodium kimchi was higher than that of the regular kimchi, and increased during the storage period. The number of lactic acid bacteria was maximum at day 5 but slightly decreased after 10 days of storage. The sensory evaluation panels preferred low-sodium kimchi and realized that the saltiness of low-sodium kimchi was less than that of the regular kind. Based on these results, the quality characteristics of low-sodium kimchi were competitive to those of regular kimchi.

This study was conduct in order to provide information on formula optimization, salinity, and water content for commercialization of traditional buckwheat Soksungjang. To do this, we determined quality characteristics such as total microbial flora counts, amino-type nitrogen content, total polyphenol content, antioxidant activity, and performed a sensory evaluation. The moisture contents showed a gradual decrease during the fermentation period. There was no significant difference in all samples. During 70 days of fermentation, the pH showed a similar trend starting at a pH of 6, and dropping sharply to 5.5, except Experiment C (15% buckwheat powder in the meju, 10% NaCl, and 130% water in the total Soksungjang). On the other hand, total acidity increased regularly, however, its ranges were various points in all samples. The microbial population was reduced by 1~3 log cycle in all samples during the fermentation period. The content of amino-type nitrogen showed a gradual increase during fermentation, ranging from 160 to 213 mg% after 70 days. No remarkable difference in total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity was observed in all samples. In sensory evaluation, Soksungjang with 30% (control) and 15% (Experiment C) buckwheat showed a significantly higher overall score.
