The gamma irradiation effect of dried fernbraken was investigated on the physical and sensory qualities during and after soaking process. Dried fernbraken packaged in vacuum was irradiated up to 7 kGy with v-ray produced by 132 Cs at 0℃. Moisture content and rehydration rate of gamma-irradiated fernbraken after soaking increased significantly depending on the irradiation doses(p<0.05). Lightness(L), redness(a) and yellowness(b) values of Hunter color system increased significantly in the gamma-irradiated fernbraken after soaking, compared with control, while the hardness and chewiness by the texture analyser decreased significantly in irradiated ones. Sensory evaluation results showed that the mean scores of flavor, appearance, taste, texture and over-all acceptability in soaked fernbraken irradiated were not significantly different from those in control, except higher preference score of texture in irradiated ones. From these results, it might be concluded that the irradiation does not affect the physical and sensory qualities of dried fernbraken during and after soaking, especially in texture.

The seaweed Hizikia fusiformis is rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. We investigated the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of yanggaeng made with agar, sugar, honey, oligosaccharide, cooked white bean paste, and different amounts (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5%) of H. fusiformis powder. The proximate composition, pH, sugar content, color, texture, antioxidant activity, and sensory properties of the yanggaeng were investigated. The moisture and sugar contents of the yanggaeng did not change despite increasing the amount of H. fusiformis. The pH decreased with increasing H. fusiformis. The lightness decreased significantly, whereas the redness and yellowness increased with increasing amounts of H. fusiformis. In the texture profile analysis, the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness decreased with increasing H. fusiformis content. The antioxidant activity of the yanggaeng increased with the concentration of the H. fusiformis powder. The yanggaeng containing 2% H. fusiformis had the highest overall sensory acceptance score. The addition of H. fusiformis to yanggaeng appears to improve its quality and antioxidant activity.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of yanggaeng prepared from agar, sugar, honey, oligosaccharide, cooked white bean paste, and different amounts (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5%) of Pyropia yezoensis powder. The moisture, pH, sugar content, color, texture, antioxidant activity, and sensory properties of yanggaeng were investigated. The moisture content of yanggaeng did not change despite the increasing amount of P. yezoensis. The pH and sugar content decreased with increasing P. yezoensis concentration. The lightness decreased significantly, whereas the redness and yellowness increased with increasing amounts of P. yezoensis. Regarding texture profile analysis, the hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and cohesiveness decreased with increasing P. yezoensis content. The antioxidant activity of yanggaeng increased with increasing concentrations of P. yezoensis powder. Yanggaeng containing 2.5% P. yezoensis had the highest overall sensory acceptance score. Therefore, the addition of P. yezoensis to yanggaeng appears to improve its quality and antioxidant activity.

Glutinous rice dduk, traditional Korean rice cake, was prepared using rice(white glutinous rice, brown glutinous rice, black glutinous rice, gaba glutinous rice) as a meal alternative, and each of their quality characteristics were compared. This study had checked sensory tests, color differences, moisture contents, texture characteristics, and storage lives of dduk during storage at room temperature for 6 days. The moisture contents of black glutinous rice dduk scored the highest. For color properties, gaba glutinous rice dduk was darker with a decreased yellow value, whereas its red value was higher comparing with that of brown glutinous rice dduk. The results of the preference test showed that appearance, flavor, texture, and overall preference were the highest in white glutinous rice dduk, whereas black glutinous rice dduk showed the lowest score. The results of the color difference test showed that softness, viscoelasticity, and fineness were the highest in white glutinous rice dduk, whereas black glutinous rice dduk showed the highest difference in color. For individual textural characteristics, black glutinous rice dduk showed the highest score, whereas white glutinous rice dduk showed the lowest scores in hardness, chewiness, and gumminess. In the results of the textural characteristics of dduk during storage, white glutinous rice dduk showed the highest increase in hardness after 48 hours, whereas black glutinous rice dduk showed the lowest increase. White glutinous rice dduk showed the highest increases in chewiness and gumminess. Cohesiveness decreased in all glutinous rice dduk. In the results of fungal occurrence in dduk during storage, black and gaba glutinous rice dduk showed increased fungi occurrence compared with white and brown glutinous rice dduk after 6 days. In conclusion, the overall preference for glutinous rice dduk made from different rice is more affected by appearance or texture than flavor.

This study investigated the alcohol fermentation characteristics of citrus hydrolysate by adding various sugars(sucrose, honey, fructose and fructooligosaccharide). As a result, the alcohol content was shown to be similar among all the sugars. Fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose were detected as a major free sugar. In particular, the contents of fructose and glucose were shown to be higher in sucrose addition, lactic, citric and malic acids were detected as major organic acids of citrus wine. When the sensory characteristics of citrus wines were compared, flavor was shown to have a sensory score of 5.1 in sucrose addition, showing the most preference. However, no significant difference in preference was found among the sugars. Color, taste and overall acceptability were shown to have the most preference in sucrose addition, and then in honey, fructose, and fructooligosaccharide in order. Therefore, a further study on the improvement of quality and sensory preference using aging process and complex sugars is required.

This study was conducted to develop an optimal composite recipe of nutritional cookies containing oak mushroom (Lentinus edodes) powder that has a high preference score. Oak mushroom(Lentinus edodes) is considered a significantly wholesome food. In addition, the dried oak mushroom(Lentinus edodes) has a better flavor and more nutrients than the fresh oak mushroom since vitamins are activated during the drying process. Wheat flour was partially substituted with Lentinus edodes powder to reduce its content. The optimal sensory composite recipe was determined by making iced cookies which have the advantage of long storage, at 3 concentrations of Lentinus edodes powder, yellow sugar and butter, using the central composite design. In addition, the mixing condition of Lentinus edodes powder cookies was optimized by subjecting the cookies to a sensory evaluation and instrumental analysis using the response surface methodology(RSM). The effects of the addition of the three variables on the quality of Lentinus edodes cookies were assessed in terms of texture, color, spread ratio and sensory evaluation. The results of the sensory evaluation produced very significant values for color, appearance, texture, overall quality(p<0.05), flavor(p<0.01) and the results of instrumental analysis showed significant values in lightness(p<0.05), spread ratio, hardness(p<0.01). As a result, the optimal sensory ratio of Lentinus edodes cookies was determined to be Lentinus edodes powder 10.83g, yellow sugar 61.89 g, and butter 120.0 g.

To improve the sensory acceptability of Kochujang with added Meju powder, Kochujang was prepared with added raw soy powder and roasted soy powder were added instead of Meju powder. These Kochujang were fermented for 45 days at $25{\pm}3^{\circ}C$ and examined for changes in their physicochemical properties and sensory characteristics. Results were as follows. In the moisture content and acidity of Kochujang, the group with added Meju powder was the highest. There were no significant differences in the lightness (L value), although the group with added with Meju powder and raw soy powder were decreased in lightness over days of storage. For redness (a value), the group with added raw soy powder was the highest, and the group with added raw soy powder was decreased with increasing storage days. For yellowness (b value), the group with added roasted soy powder was the highest, and there was no significant difference over storage days. The reducing sugar content of Kochjang to which roasted soy powder was added was the highest, and the amino-nitrogen contents of Kochjang to which Meju powder was added was the highest In sensory evaluation, the Kochjang with added roasted soy powder had the best score in taste and overall acceptability. Therefore, these results suggest that roasted soy powder can be applied to Kochjang for enhanced sensory preference.

This study was conducted to determine the potential use for salted Kimchi cabbage and kimchi paste by analyzing the quality characteristic of kimchi prepared with stored them. Salted Kimchi cabbages were packed with the 2% brine and kimchi paste were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 8 weeks, respectively. Kimchi prepared at 0 day and kimchi prepared with stored salted Kimchi cabbage and kimchi paste every week were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 8 weeks. The salinity and titratable acidity of salted Kimchi cabbage packed with the brine was lower than control. The results of salinity, pH and moisture contents of kimchi paste did not show any significant differences during storage, however, the titratable acidity was increased. In sensory evaluation, salted Kimchi cabbage packed with the brine showed higher score in overall preference than control. Kimchi paste showed 4.9~6.1 score in overall preference during storage. The titratable acidity of kimchi prepared with stored salted Kimchi cabbage and kimchi paste was lower than control. But, the results of sensory evaluation did not show significant difference among treatments. The study suggested that the use of 2% brine is an effective way for extending shelf-life of salted Kimchi cabbage and Kimchi prepared with stored salted Kimchi cabbage and kimchi paste every week is effective to delay the fermentation but no difference in sensory evaluation.

Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize substrate conditions of ribose and hydrolyzed wheat gluten solution for Maillard reaction. Independent variables were NaCl concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten ($X_1$), concentration of ribose ($X_2$) and concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten ($X_3$), while the dependent variables of the central composite design (CCD) were browning index (absorbance 420 nm), DPPH radical scavenging activity (DF) and sensory preference (score). Optimum substrate conditions at $140^{\circ}C$, 30 min reaction were 3% NaCl concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten, 6.2% concentration of ribose and 13.27% concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten. The coefficients of determination ($R^2$) were 0.975, 0.960 and 0.854, the model fit was very significant (p<0.001). DPPH radical scavenging activities and sensory preferences were predicted as 700 (DF) and 8.42 (score), respectively. The model solution increased more browning and DPPH radical scavenging activities with increasing ribose and hydrolyzed wheat gluten concentration. Especially hydrolyzed wheat gluten concentration was the most influential factor, while NaCl concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten hardly affected the responses. Sensory preference was increased with rising wheat gluten concentration and decreasing NaCl concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder from halophyte plants added to noodles at ratios of 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0% in order to examine its applicability as a substitute for salt. For quality characteristics of noodles with Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder, pH increased (p<0.05) and salinity decreased (p<0.01) with higher added Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder content. Water absorption ratio decreased (p<0.01) while turbidity decreased (p<0.001) with greater addition of Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder. However, volume expansion ratio increased with greater addition of Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder, but there was no significant difference. For chromaticity, L value and a value decreased (p<0.001) while b value increased (p<0.001) with greater addition of Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder. For texture, hardness (p<0.001), gumminess (p<0.001), and cohesiveness (p<0.01) increased with greater amount of added Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder; however, there were no significant differences in adhesiveness, springiness, and chewiness according to the amount of added Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder. In the sensory evaluation, for color, the score was 5.55 points when 1.5% Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder was added, which was the best preference (p<0.001); for flavor, preference was best (5.64 points) when 2.0% Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder was added; for taste, preference was best (5.36 points) (p<0.001) when 2.0% Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder was added; for overall preference (overall quality) the score was 5.55 points when 1.0% Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder was added, which was the best preference (p<0.001). For antioxidant activities, antioxidant activities including total phenol content, total flavonoid content, and DPPH free radical scavenging activity increased (p<0.001) with the amount of added Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder. As a result of the above research, preference was the highest and quality was excellent overall when 1.0% Spergularia marina L. Griseb powder was added. Thus, addition of 1.0% Spergularia marina L. Griseb instead of salt would be desirable.
