This study aimed to determine the physicochemical and sensory qualities for yogurt dressing prepared with blueberry juice(0, 10, 15, 20, and 25%). As the amount of added blueberry juice increased, citric acid, malic acid and succinic acid contents increased, but tartaric acid, lactic acid and acetic acid contents decreased. The pH of control group(3.75) was higher than that of the others(3.68-3.48). Sweetness of yogurt dressings decreased as the amount of added blueberry juice increased. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 26.44%, whereas those of yogurt dressings with blueberry juice ranged from 63.16-87.46%. Color L and b values decreased significantly, whereas a value increased significantly by addition of blueberry juice. Viscosity of the control group was lower than those of the others. The sensory property results showed that yogurt dressing with 20% blueberry juice was rated best. It was also preferred most. These results suggest 20% of blueberry juice is the best substitution ratio for yogurt dressing.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of cookies containing Aronia powder, which is well known for its various functions and biological activity. In this study, we assessed the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of cookies containing various concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8%) of Aronia powder(AP). To analyze quality characteristics, pH of dough, moisture content, color(L, a, b), hardness, and sensory properties were measured. Qualities, such as moisture content, redness and yellowness and hardness increased significantly (p<0.001). whereas pH and lightness of the cookies significantly decreased (p<0.001). The antioxidant activity measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were significantly higher than the control, and it proportionally increased as the amount of AP increased (p<0.001). The results of sensory properties showed that cookies made with 2% and 4% AP did not differ significantly from the control in color, taste, and overall quality. Texture scores for the 2% and 4% AP groups ranked significantly higher than those of the other groups. Taken together, the results of this study suggest that AP is a beneficial ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of cookies. The quality characteristics of the 4% added samples exhibited significantly similar or higher values as compared to those of the controls, raising the possibility of developments in health-functional cookies. The results of the sensory evaluation produced very significant values for color, appearance, texture, and overall quality of instrumental analysis.

The purpose of this study is to identify the possibility of developing new jelly product with healthy function by the physio-chemical analysis and sensory test of jelly sample groups adding each 20~80% of squeezed Indian spinach liquid. Sugar contents of squeezed Indian spinach liquid was $3.4^{\circ}Brix$. From chromatography, L-value has been decreased by increasing the adding rate of squeezed Indian spinach liquid, and both a-value (redness) and b-value (yellowness) have shown similar trend. According to the measuring result of squeezed Indian spinach liquid the DPPH radical scavenging activity was 15.67 mg/mL, and its total polyphenol contents was 7.00 mg/g. By increasing squeezed Indian spinach liquid, the DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol contents have shown increasing tendency. Among textures of squeezed Indian spinach liquid, for hardness, sample group of 20% adding was the highest by 4.27%, and for adhesiveness the sample group of 20% adding was the highest by 2.48%, and the lowest was sample group of 80% adding with 0.91%. From the result of sensory test the sample group adding 40% of squeezed Indian spinach liquid has been appraised the most highly in color, scent, sweet taste, chewiness, moistness, and general preference. According to the above results, it is understood that the 40% adding rate of squeezed Indian spinach liquid, when producing jelly, would be the most compatible rate of adding.

Oriental melon (Cucumis melo L. var. makuwa) has been widely consumed as various processed foods, such as dried products, jelly, wine, juice, and vinegar, in Asian countries. In fruit processing, blanching and pressure treatments affect its quality, such as antioxidant activities, sensory characteristics, and etc. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of blanching and pressure pre-treatments on oriental melon wine-making (BP, blanching and pressure filtration; BNP, blanching and non-pressure filtration; NBP, non-blanching and pressure filtration; and NBNP, non-blanching and non-pressure filtration). Physicochemical properties and antioxidant capacities by ${\alpha}$, ${\alpha}$-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, and total phenolic and total flavonoid contents were measured for comparison of the different pre-treatment methods. After the aging process, the alcohol contents and pH values showed no statistical differences, whereas the amount of soluble solids, reducing sugar, and titratable acidity were slightly different among the pre-treatments (p<0.05). The samples with blanching pre-treatment showed higher antioxidant capacities than those of other pre-treatments. In the sensory evaluation, the BNP was the best in overall acceptability. Thus, this study showed that the blanching treatment enhanced the antioxidant capacities and sensory qualities of the oriental melon wine.

Different packaging methods and storage temperatures were tested to determine the storage stability of beef dry-aged for 21 days based on microbial, physicochemical, and sensory qualities. After completion of the dry aging, the dried surface of beef sirloin was trimmed off, and the beef was packaged using two different methods (oxygen-permeable wrap or vacuum packaging) and stored at different temperatures ($3{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ or $-23{\pm}2^{\circ}C$) for 0, 7, 14, or 21 days. Lipid oxidation and the sensory quality of the dry-aged beef were not affected by the packaging method and storage temperature during storage. No microbial growth was observed over the storage period in the vacuum-packaged dry-aged beef, regardless of the storage temperature. However, dry-aged beef in the oxygen-permeable wrap packaging showed microbial spoilage with 8.82 log CFU / g at day 7 of the refrigerated storage. The vacuum-packaged dry-aged beef showed the lowest values (p < 0.05) in $a^*$ and chroma at days 14 and 21 at $3^{\circ}C$, and days 7 and 14 at $-23^{\circ}C$, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended that dry-aged beef with wrap packaging stored in refrigerated conditions should be consumed as quickly as possible due to microbial growth. For long-term storage, dry-aged beef should be frozen because freezing can extend the color stability up to day 21 of storage without adverse effects on the hygienic or meat quality aspects of dry-aged beef.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of mungbean starch gels that were prepared with different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%) of peach seed powders (PSP), which exhibit antioxidant characteristics. Mungbean starch gel samples were prepared and subjected to quality characteristics such as moisture content, general components, color, texture profile analysis, total polyphenol contents, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and sensory qualities. The L-value and the a-value for color decreased significantly, whereas the b-value increased significantly as the PSP concentration increased (p<0.05). In the texture profile analysis, the mungbean starch gel with 1.5% PSP showed significantly lower degrees of hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and brittleness (p<0.05). The total polyphenol content was highest in the 1.5% PSP to which mungbean starch gel was added, which also showed a higher than 70% DPPH radical scavenging activity level in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.05). In the sensory test of the mungbean starch gel, its sensory scores for flavor and taste were highest in the 0.5% PSP to which mungbean starch gel was added.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the qualities of $Topokki$ $Garaedduk$ by different moisture ratios (rice flour : water=1:0.3, 1:0.4, 1:0.5). $Topokki$ $Garaedduk$ was investigated in terms of its moisture, texture, and sensory properties. The moisture content of $Topokki$ $Garaedduk$ was increased. The hardness, chewiness, and cohesiveness of $Topokki$ $Garaedduk$ significantly decreased with increased moisture ratios, however springiness and adhesiveness were not significantly changed. Water absorption of $Topokki$ $Garaedduk$ was increased and solid content showed no significant differences with increasing moisture ratio. A sensory evaluation showed that the moistness of $Topokki$ $Garaedduk$ increased, while hardness, and springiness decreased with increasing moisture ratios. The overall acceptability of $Topokki$ $Garaedduk$ at the 1:0.4 ratio of rice flour : water scored highest at 6.92 among the samples (p<0.05). The correlation coefficient between sensory moistness and moisture content was significantly increased ($R^2$=0.91). As a result of this study, $Topokki$ $Garaedduk$ with an additional 40% moisture content (rice flour : water=1:0.4) had the most suitable quality properties.

Bread made after replacement of commercial hard wheat flour with lotus leaf flour (2.5 - 7.5%, w/w) was tested for dough and baking qualities, and by sensory evaluation. The loaf volumes of bread baked with 5% and 7.5% lotus leaf flour were 87% and 80%, respectively, of control (wheat flour only); by contrast, the volume of bread baked with 2.5% lotus leaf flour was 5% greater than control. The hardness of breadcrumbs baked with 2.5% lotus leaf flour was 64.5 g on day 0, and compared with control bread, hardness increased more slowly during storage for 3 days when 5% or 7.5% lotus leaf flour was used. Moreover, dough hardness increased with increasing levels of lotus leaf flour. Lightness decreased with addition of lotus leaf flour, but redness and yellowness significantly increased, in proportion to lotus leaf flour levels. Sensory tests on 2.5% lotus leaf flour bread showed no significant difference compared with control.

Inactivation by UV-C irradiation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes inoculated onto washed carrots was examined. Carrot samples were inoculated with 6-7 log CFU/mL of E. coli O157:H7 or L. monocytogenes, treated with doses of 0, 1, 3, 5, or $10\;kJ/m^2$ UV-C, and stored at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 8 d. The populations of E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes significantly decreased with increasing irradiation dose (p<0.05). In particular, E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes populations fell significantly by 2.35 and 2.38 log CFU/g at $10\;kJ/m^2$, respectively, compared to control values. UV-C irradiation inhibited color changes and decreased the whiteness index in carrot during storage, compared to controls. Sensory evaluation results showed that UV-C-treated carrots had better sensory characteristics than did the control. Therefore, the results suggest that UV-C irradiation could be useful to improve the microbial safety and sensory qualities of fresh-cut carrots during storage.

This study was carried out to find the optimal conditions for red cabbage seed sprouts in terms of their physicochemical and sensory qualities by electron-beam irradiation, cultivation and storage using the response surface methodology (RSM). Moisture content ($R^2$=0.9638) was affected by irradiation dose and cultivation time. Total phenolics content ($R^2$=0.9117) was mainly affected by irradiation dose, but carotenoid content ($R^2$=0.8338) was affected in the order of irradiation dose, cultivation time and storage time. Sensory properties were also affected by irradiation dose, and thus scores decreased as irradiation dose increased. The optimum conditions estimated by superimposing total phenolics content and overall acceptance were 2.2-3.8 kGy of the irradiation dose, 3.0-4.0 days of cultivation and 2.0-3.0 days of storage.
