Frozen mandu, which is one of the main frozen prepared foods, purchased from a local manufacturer, were stored at five constant temperatures ($0,\;-5,\;-10,\;-20\;and\;-30^{\circ}C$) for six months. Effects of the storage temperature and the storage period on the changes in pH, acid value, peroxide value, volatile basic nitrogen, color, sensory score and microbial counts of frozen mandu were studied. The changes in microbiological and physicochemical characteristics were significantly increased in comparison with the initial value after 1 month at $0^{\circ}C$, after 3 months at $-5^{\circ}C$ and after 5 months at $-10^{\circ}C$, but nearly constant in spite of storage periods when the temperature dropped below $-10^{\circ}C$Out of five chemical components, AV and POV were the most reliable components in the quality judgement of frozen mandu and its upper limiting content were 2.56 and 19.35 meq/kg each. Regression equation for shelf life prediction of frozen mandu with sensory scores and POV was determined.

This study aimed at optimizing the manufacturing conditions of a milk beverage supplemented with coffee, and monitoring its physicochemical and sensory properties during storage. Raw milk, skim milk powder, coffee extract, and emulsifiers were used to manufacture the beverage. Two sucrose fatty acid esters, F110 and F160, were identified as suitable emulsifiers. The optimum conditions for the beverage manufacture, which can satisfy two conditions at the same time, determined by response surface methodology (RSM), were 5,000 rpm primary homogenization speed and 0.207% sucrose fatty acid emulsifier addition. The particle size and zeta-potential of the beverage under the optimum condition were 190.1 nm and $-25.94{\pm}0.06mV$, respectively. In comparison study between F110 added group (GF110) and F160 added group (GF160) during storage, all samples maintained its pH around 6.6 to 6.7, and there was no significant difference (p<0.05). In addition, GF110 showed significantly higher zeta-potential than GF160 (p<0.05). The particle size of GF110 and GF160 were approximately 190.1 and 223.1 nm, respectively at initial. However, size distribution of the GF160 tended to increase during storage. Moreover, increase of the particle size in GF160 was observed in microphotographs of it during storage. The $L^*$ values gradually decreased within all groups, whereas the $a^*$ and $b^*$ values did not show significant variations (p<0.05). Compared with GF160, bitterness, floating cream, and rancid flavor were more pronounced in the GF110. Based on the result obtained from the present study, it appears that the sucrose fatty acid ester F110 is more suitable emulsifier when it comes to manufacturing this beverage than the F160, and also contributes to extending product shelf-life.

Myungran Jeotkal, Korean fermented seafood, and its ingredients(hot red pepper powder, ginger, garlic, and seasoning mix) were irradiated with 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 kGy of gamma rays and stored at 4C for 4 weeks to determine changes in microbiological and sensory characteristics. Water activities of Myungran Jeotkal, hot red pepper powder, ginger, garlic, and seasoning mix were 0.89 0.56, 0.98, 0.99, and 0.07, respectively. Myungran Jeotkal was observed to be initially contaminated. Total aerobic bacteria, yeast and mold, and coliform levels were 6.7, 4.3, and 3.6 log CFU/g, respectively. Irradiation at 2 kGy afforded approximately a 4 log reduction in total aerobic bacteria, and a 3 log drop in both yeast and mold levels and coliform bacteria(P<0.05). No viable microbial cells were detected in Myungran Jeotkal after 5 kGy of irradiation(at a detection limit of 101 CFU/g). The total aerobic bacterial level in red pepper powder was 6.3 log CFU/g and this component, of the tested ingredients, contributed most to the microbial contamination of Myungran Jeotkal. The initial count of total aerobic bacteria, 6.3 log CFU/g, was significantly reduced to 4.5 log CFU/g after irradiation(P<0.05). Sensory evaluation showed that gamma irradiation of up to 5.0 kGy did not adversely affect overall acceptability of Myungran Jeotkal or its ingredients during cold storage. Therefore, gamma irradiationwas effective to extend the shelf-life of Myungran Jeotkal.

This study was performed to examine the properties of takju containing added Glycyrrhiza uralensis ethanol extract (GUEE) at 10$^{\circ}C$ for 12 days. Change in TBARS values was lower in the takju with GUEE as compared to control. The total viable cell count and yeasts cell count of all samples remained constant over the storage period. The brix of the takju treated with 0.5% GUEE (3.8-4.3) was higher than that of the control (3.8-4.0). Suspension stability and yellowness increased as the added concentration of GUEE increased. After 12 days of the storage, the pH level of the 0.5% GUEE takju was 3.9, which was 0.2 higher than that of control. In terms of acidity, the 0.5% GUEE takju ranged from 0.269 to 0.282, whereas the acidity of the control ranged from 0.294 to 0.302. In treated Takju with GUEE represented at treated takju with GUEE had the positive effects toward improving its preservation and quality.

This study investigated the quality characteristics, oxidative stability, and antioxidative activity of a Korean fried rice cake, Gaeseong-Juak (doughnut of waxy rice) to which Prunus yedoensis Matsumura (PYM) extract, vitamin C, and BHT were added and stored at $60^{\circ}C$ for 4 days. Gaeseong-Juak was prepared by adding PYM extract at 0, 0.5, 1, and 2% of waxy rice powder. It was found that as the content of PYM extract increased, L-values significantly decreased while a-value and b-value significantly increased (P<0.001). The hardness and adhesiveness were increased with an increase in PYM extract, and as the storage period increased. In the sensory evaluations, the sample containing 0.5% and 1.0% PYM extract gave good scores. In the Gaeseong-Juak with PYM extract, the acid value, peroxide value, and p-anisidin value of PYM extract groups were found to have a higher oxidative stability than those of 0% PYM extract group (P<0.05). The antioxidative activity of Gaeseong-Juak to which PYM extract was added increased as the content of PYM extract increased (P<0.001). It was suggested that the shelf life of Gaeseong-Juak could be extended by the use of natural antioxidants, reducing the deterioration of the quality of Gaeseong-Juak.

Experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of storage temperature and blanching treatment on the storage stability in order to extend the shelf life of Citrus junos. Chilling injury of Citrus junos was not observed at the temperature range of $0^{\circ}C{\sim}5^{\circ}C$. Respiration rate of Citrus junos classified into climacteric characteristics as storage time goes by increase of respiration rate. The $Q_{10}$ value of Citrus junos during storage appeared to have a narrow range of $2.3{\sim}2.4$ The decaying rate increased drastically at $20^{\circ}C$ ranging from 71.4% to 86.5%. It was not much influenced by the pretreatments but by the storage temperature. There was no difference in weight loss between the control and blanching treatment. The weight loss of Citrus junos at $20^{\circ}C$ appeared to be high during the 12 weeks period, and consequently the overall quality of Citrus junos was rapidly decreased. The ratio of brix to acid showed a slow increase for Citrus junos stored at $3^{\circ}C.\;At\;20^{\circ}C$, however, it increased rapidly and then decreased. This phenomenon was mainly due to the relatively high increase of brix, compared to the increase in acid content. Development of browning color in Citrus junos was mainly associated with Citrus junos peel, rather than with Citrus junos pulp.

The objective of this study was to investigate the non-thermal sterilization effect of methods such as high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and UV-irradiation (specifically with regard to the storage stability and shelf-life of carrot juice. The microbial counts of the non-sterilized product increased from 5.51 to 7.34 log CFU/mL up to the fifth day, and then decreased to 5.46 log CFU/mL at six days. UV-irradiation was increased from 2.37 to 4.92 log CFU/mL. HHP was maintained under the 3 log CFU/mL. The pH of UV-irradiation and HHP was maintained withing the range of 6.29~6.30 and 6.20~6.22 during storage. However, the pH arising from non-sterilization decreased from 6.31 to 4.49. The color of non-sterilization changed significantly during storage, but UV-irradiation and HHP were similar during storage. The ${\beta}$-carotene content of non-sterilization was noted to have decreased from 269.45 to $65.19{\mu}g/mL$ during storage. The UV-irradiation and HHP decreased from 263.46 and $268.35{\sim}281.16{\mu}g/mL$ to 243.42 and $244.09{\sim}269.29{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. In conclusion, these findings suggest that HHP can be used for the pasteurization, or sterilization, of carrot juice and the optimal condition is two minutes.

In order to extend the shelf life of Wasabi paste, the effects of citric acid were confirmed at $35^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. Citric acid-treated groups contained citric acid in amounts of 0.05, 0.10, 0.17, 0.30, and 0.40%, respectively. Quality characteristics of Wasabi pastes were determined in pH, titratable acidity, soluble solid content, color values, microbial analysis (aerobic bacteria, yeast), gas production, and content of allyl isothiocyanate. The pH and titratable acidities of Wasabi pastes added with citric acid were indicated as 4.03-5.19 and 4.23-4.82%, respectively. Soluble solid content was significantly different according to concentrations of citric acid. L values showed the highest at $50.05{\pm}0.46$. a and b values were increased during the storage period. Total aerobic bacteria and yeast counts of Wasabi pastes were decreased in a dose-dependent manner. Gas production from Wasabi pastes showed at 19.55-19.80 mL/tube after 28 days of storage. The addition of citric acid (0.3% or more) to the Wasabi paste resulted in increased storage stability.

Objective: Effect of addition of wheat bran (WB) and dried carrot pomace (DCP) on sensory, textural, colour, physico-chemical and nutritional characteristics of chicken sausage were evaluated. Methods: WB and DCP were used as a source of dietary fibre at 3%, 6%, and 9% level individually. Different quality attributes of sausages were estimated. One product from each source with very good sensory acceptability was selected to analyze dietary fibre content and shelf life under refrigerated storage. Results: Sensory acceptability of 3% fibre enriched sausage was comparable with control and a further increase in fibre level resulted in a decrease in sensory acceptability. Fibre enriched sausages were significantly harder and less cohesive than control sausage. Significant increase in gumminess and chewiness was observed at 6% level in WB treated sausages and 9% level in DCP treated sausages. Moisture content decreased significantly in all treated sausages, protein content decreased significantly in DCP-2 and DCP-3 sausages while fat content decreased in all WB and DCP-3 treated sausages in comparison to control. The fibre enriched sausage had significantly higher dietary fibre and lower cholesterol content. Cooking yield and emulsion stability increased in treated sausages and a significant difference was noticed at 6% level in both types of sausages. pH of WB treated sausages was significantly higher and DCP treated sausage significantly lower in comparison to control. Conclusion: The results of present study indicate that fibre enriched chicken sausage with moderate acceptability can be developed by incorporating WB and DCP each up to 9% level. Chicken sausage with very good acceptability, higher dietary fibre content and storability up to 15 days at refrigerated temperature can be developed by incorporating WB and DCP at 6% level each.

Marine fish skin peptides (FSP) have been widely studied due to their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. We aimed to use a natural antioxidant, FSP, to replacing synthetic preservatives in a pork patty model, which is safer for human body. Moreover, nano-liposome technology can be applied for masking the fishy smell and improving the stability of this peptide. Therefore, in this study, the effects of FSP and FSP-loaded liposomes (FSPL) on pork patty were evaluated through the tests of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), color, cooking loss, texture, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), and the pH value, during 14 d of refrigerated ($4^{\circ}C$) storage. The results showed that all FSP-treated patties had lower TBARS values than control patties, which indicated an inhibitory effect of FSP on lipid oxidation. This effect in the patties depended on the FSP concentration. However, FSPL-treated patties showed significantly higher and undesirable TBARS values compared to the control, and this effect depended on the FSPL concentration. None of the physicochemical results showed remarkable changes except the pH and VBN values. Therefore, this study provides evidence that FSP has great potential to inhibit the lipid oxidation of pork patties and is capable of maintaining the quality and extending the shelf life. However, it is necessary to study the application of FSP treatments greater than 3% to improve the antioxidant effect on pork patties and search for other coating materials and technology to reduce the drawbacks of FSP.
