The purposes of this study were to develop Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point-based standardized recipe applicable to cook/chilled soy sauceglazed mackerel and to evaluate the qualities related to the product flow of this item. After conducting experimental cooking, preliminary test, and analysis of recipes, critical control points were identified, control methods were determined, and HACCP-based recipe was standardized. At each critical control point, time-temperature profile was recorded and microbiological analysis (total aerobic plate counts, psychrotrophic plate count, coliform, and fecal coliform count), chemical analysis (pH, acid value and volatile based nitrogen (VBN)) and sensory evaluation of the item were done. Time-temperature data showed that the time the menu item had passed through temperature danger zone (5∼60$^{\circ}C$) during all phases was 60 min. At rapid cooling, but after cooling at room temperature, the temperature of this menu item did not drop below the ambient temperature. The results of microbiological test were negative throughout all phases following cooking and the results of chemical analysis did not change significantly in terms of storage periods except for VBN which increased on 7th day significantly(p<0.05). After steam/convection oven reheating and microwave oven reheating, the sensory score of the only appearance decreased significantly related to the storage time of overall quality profiles. But significant differences were not detected according to two reheating methods. In conclusion, this HACCP-based recipe was considered as an effective tool for assuring microbial as well as sensory quality of this cook/chilled item.

Three rice varieties of Akibare (japonica), Milyang 30 (indica) and Taebaeg (indica) were investigated for their changes in sensory and physical qualities of cooked rices during storage at the temperature range of $4^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$ for 25 hours, The qualities studied were sensory attributes of texture which were evaluated by multiple comparison method and physical characteristics of texture measured using with rheometer. Physical Properties of hardness, adhesiveness and elasticity of cooked rices were found to be different among the rice varieties and were affected by storage conditions. Higher values in hardness and elasticity and lower values in adhesiveness were measured for cooked rices of Akibare immidiately after cooking. Those physical values were changed by a steady decrease in hardness and elasticity and increase in adhesiveness during storage for 25 hours. Correlations between sensory and physical characteristics of texture was found a significant relationships between gumminess and hardness (r=0.696), gumminess and adhesiveness (r=-0.800) and gumminess and elasticity (r=0.806).

In this study, sponge cakes were prepared with 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15% red ginseng marc powder. The samples and a control were then compared in terms of quality characteristics, including batter viscosity and specific gravity, moisture content, water activity, volume index, weight, color, textural characteristics, and sensory qualities, in order to determine the optimal ratio of red ginseng marc powder in the formulation. The batter samples containing 0, 12, and 15% red ginseng marc powder had significantly higher viscosity than the other samples. Specific gravity of batter was not significantly different among the batter samples. The control group presented significantly higher moisture content as compared to the samples containing red ginseng marc powder samples. Water activity, volume index, and weight of all samples were not significantly different among the samples. In terms of crust color, lightness, redness, and yellowness of the crust samples decreased as the level of red ginseng marc powder content increased. For the crumb color, lightness and yellowness decreased, and redness increased, with increasing red ginseng marc powder content. Hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and springiness were not significantly different among the samples; however, the red ginseng marc powder samples had significantly higher chewiness than the control group. In the sensory evaluation, as the content of red ginseng marc powder increased, scores for color, flavor, softness, overall acceptability, moistness, and egg-flavor decreased, while scores for red ginseng taste, bitterness, astringency, and off-flavor incresed. Overall, the 3 and 6% red ginseng marc powder samples obtained fairly good sensory scores. In conclusion, the results indicate that adding $3{\sim}6%$ red ginseng marc powder to sponge cake is optimal, providing good physiological properties as well as reasonably high overall consumer acceptability.

For this study, we designed and produced mulberry low-fat ice cream supplemented with synbiotics (MLF-ISS). The sensory characteristics and physical, chemical, and microbiological qualities of MLF-ISS were then determined. Mulberry juice inoculated with or without probiotic (Lactobacillus plantarum TISTR 926 and Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745) was also tested at 37℃ for 24 h to determine probiotic growth rate, pH, total anthocyanin content (TAC), total phenolic content (TPC), and antioxidant activity (AA). Only the TAC of mulberry juice inoculated with S. boulardii CNCM I-745 increased considerably (p < 0.05) among these parameters. MLF-ISS was produced with varied mulberry fruit concentrations (0, 10, 20, 30, or 40%) (w/w). The MLF-ISS prepared with 30% mulberry fruit (w/w) (30-MLF-ISS) had a higher score in appearance, color, and sweetness (p < 0.05) when sensory qualities were measured using the 9-point hedonic scale method. In the CIE lab system (L^*, a^*, b^*), the color values of 30-MLF-ISS were 27.80 ± 0.26, 12.99 ± 0.59, and 1.43 ± 0.05, respectively. The 30-MLF-ISS was also subjected to a proximate analysis. The melting rate of 30-MLF-ISS was 0.29 ± 0.03 g/min and the time it took for the first drop to fall was 37.00 ± 7.00 min. TAC, TPC, and AA of 30-MLF-ISS were observed to alter significantly (p < 0.05) during varied intervals of storage at - 18℃ (0, 30, and 60 days). The viability of probiotics in 30-MLF-ISS slightly decreased after storage at -18℃ for 8 weeks, but remained about 6 log CFU/g. During storage at -18℃ for 0 and 120 days, no pathogenic bacteria were detected in 30-MLF-ISS. These findings show that 30-MLF-ISS has nutritional and functional value, is free of foodborne pathogenic bacteria, is safe for consumers' health, and is suitable for application in the ice cream and related food industries.

Physicochemical qualities and consumer acceptability of chocolate layer cake were studied with varied levels of rosemary powder at 0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6%. The ash content of the cake increased from 2.30 to 3.10%, as the amount of rosemary powder increased from 0 to 0.6%, and the carbohydrate content of the cake decreased as the addition of rosemary powder increased. There were no significant differences in moisture contents and pH values among the samples and the pH values of all samples were within the typical pH range of 7.5-8.0 for chocolate layer cakes. Water loss from the control cake was greater than that from the cakes with rosemary powder supporting the suggestion that the addition of rosemary powder to the chocolate layer cake could increase moisture retention of the cake. Consumer acceptability of all the samples showed higher preferences of more than 7 points. Rosemary aroma, mint flavor and after taste were highly positively correlated with the fat content. Fat and ash content of the cake, which tended to increase in proportion to the rosemary powder content, were negatively correlated with acceptance of herb flavor, sweet taste, moistness, softness and intensity of softness but positively correlated with intensity of herb flavor. With the results above, trials on chocolate layer cake using rosemary powder were successfully performed within the ranges tested.

In this study the microbiological quality of vegetables was evaluated in relation to the sanitization methods used and vegetable types which consisted of raw food ingredients used in foodservice operations. We analyzed the microbial quantities on lettuce and spinach, which were used as leaf vegetables and cucumber and tomato, which were used as fruit vegetables according to various disinfection methods using different chlorine concentration(50 ppm, 100 ppm, 200 ppm) and exposure time(5 min, 10 min) over 5 days. When the effects of the disinfection methods on microbial qualities and sensory evaluation were analyzed, the following results were obtained. First, in the leaf vegetables, disinfection with a chlorine concentration of 200 ppm for a 5 minutes exposure time was needed to control microbial growth. Second, fruit vegetables sterilized with tap water had reduced microbial qualities after an extended amount of time relative to chlorine disinfection, that is, disinfection with a chlorine concentration of 50 ppm for 5 minutes exposure time was desirable.

Response surface methodology(RSM) was applied in roasting processes of Polygonatum odoratum roots in order to monitor Hunter color parameters and to optimize organoleptic properties of the tea. In roasting processing based on the central composite design with variations in roasting temperature (110~19$0^{\circ}C$) and roasting time(15~75min), coefficients of determinations($R^{2}$) of the models were above 0.9827(p<0.01) in Hunter color parameters and above 0.7748 in organoleptic properties. Hunter color L and $\Delta$E values of the powdered samples decreased with the roasting processes, whereas Hunter color a and b values increased up to around 59 min at 136$^{\circ}C$ and thereafter showed a decreased tendency. Organoleptic qualities on color, taste and aroma of Polygonatum odoratum tea were improved along with roasting processes, thereby estimating the optimum roasting conditions by RSM for the maximized qualities of organoleptic properties as a range from 127$^{\circ}C$ to 135$^{\circ}C$ and from 60min to 66 min. Hunter color a value(redness) was found to generate a similar response surface to that of organoleptic properties, showing the possibility of quality index in roasting processes of Polygonatum odoratum roots.

This study was accomplished to examine possibilities to apply Korean medicine to breamaking. Extracts of Chungpesagan-tang prepared by the prescription of Korean medicine were used for baking, instead of water among ingredients of baking. Effects of addition of extracts of Chungpesagan-tang on various baking properties were analyzed during the process of baking. Changes in pH values and volumes of doughs during fermentation and pH values of bread showed no differences among samples. Loaf volumes and specific loaf volumes were increased somewhat on addition. The values of cohesiveness, springness, gumminess and brittleness of breads, which were measured by rheometer, were increased on addition while those of hardness were decreased a little. Lightness values of sections of loaves were decreased on addition, but their color differences were increased largely on color difference meter. There were nearly little differences among samples in all the values of parameters of external and internal characteristics and eating qualities of breads by sensory evaluation. Re-purchasing attitude of pullman bread added with Chungpesagan-tang had a high in the gender and age.

Aloe vera has been used worldwide for pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries due to its wide biological activities. However, quality improvement of low fat meat products and their acceptability with added Aloe vera gel (AVG) is scanty. The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility of using fresh AVG on physicochemical, textural, sensory and nutritive qualities of goat meat nuggets. The products were prepared with 0%, 2.5%, and 5% fresh AVG replacing goat meat and were analyzed for proximate composition, physicochemical and textural properties, fatty acid profile and sensory parameters. Changes in lipid oxidation and microbial growth of nuggets were also evaluated over 9 days of refrigerated storage. The results showed that AVG significantly (p<0.05) decreased the pH value and protein content of meat emulsion and nuggets. Product yield was affected at 5% level of gel. Addition of AVG in the formulation significantly affected the values of texture profile analysis. The AVG reduced the lipid oxidation and microbial growth in nuggets during storage. Sensory panelists preferred nuggets with 2.5% AVG over nuggets with 5% AVG. Therefore, AVG up to 2.5% level could be used for quality improvement in goat meat nuggets without affecting its sensorial, textural and nutritive values.

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical characteristics and sensory qualities of saccharified cherry tomato gruel with different ratios of cherry tomato by rice mash. Saccharified cherry tomato gruel containing 0, 15, 30 and 45% cherry tomato puree was prepared and proximate compositions, sweetness, pH, acidity, color, texture, free sugar and sensory analysis of the samples were measured. With increasing cherry tomato puree content, proximate compositions, sweetness and acidity of cherry tomato gruel increased, and pH decreased significantly p<0.05). Saccharified cherry tomato gruel prepared with 15-45% cherry tomato puree displayed significantly lower viscosity. As the level of cherry tomato puree increased, L-value decreased, whereas the a-value and b value increased. Free sugar contents of fructose and glucose contents increased while maltose content decreased. Free sugar content of cherry tomato rice gruel was ranged of 1.44-2.12, 0.53-1.66 and 0.49-0.86 respectively. Cherry tomato rice gruel with 30% added cherry tomato puree was the most preferred for color, flavor, taste, mouth feeling, texture, overall acceptability preference. From these results, we found that adding 30% cherry tomato puree was the best to make gruel with high sensory quality.
