In order to reduce malic acid in low-alcohol content appel wine $(6{\sim}9%)$ malate-decomposing yeast, Schzosaccharomyces japonicus var. japonicus St-3 was used. Fallen apples before the harvesting season were collected and extraction was made. The apple extract was fortified with sucrose to make final sugar concentration of 18% in case of 9% base wine. High acid content in the primarily fermented apple wine could be reduced by following with malo-alcoholic fermentation using Schizosaccharomyces japonicus var. japonicus St-3 in second half of alcoholic fermentation using Saccharomyces sp. R-11. Secondary fermentation was proceeded at low temperature $(7{\sim}8^{\circ}C)$ for 130 days using Saccharomyces sp. R-11. Prior to the secondary fermentation, two percent of sugar was added to the base wine in order to produce carbon dioxide gas. And each five percent of specially prepared malt extract and hop extract were added to the base wine in order to increase foam stability. Better shelf-life was observed by keeping high carbon dioxide pressure$(2.3{\sim}2.5kg/cm^2)$ in the bottle. It was assured that the better low-alcohol content apple wine could be brewed by the method which we used above.

A number of recently developed cheese analogues that are available in dairy food markets are currently being produced for improving health or diet, and they include Mozzarella, Cheddar, American, Muenster, and other custom flavors. Cheese analogues have many benefits such as extended-and-improved shelf life, price stability, and functional qualities that include better texture, higher melting point, and better stretching properties. Various cheese analogues can now be made by using soybeans or soy protein products, gelatin, gum arabic, and other ingredients. Hence, in this study, on the basis of previously published studies, we recommend soy protein for cheese analogues, for improving the texture and flavor of cheese analogues. Moreover, the best conditions for making cheese analogues and the factors that affect the characterization of cheese analogues have been described in this paper.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of mugwort podwer and carcass grade on the shelf-life of pork patty. Pork patty was prepared by four types such as grade B pcrk patty without mugwort powder (A patty), grade B pork patty with mugwort podwer (B patty), grade I pork patty without mugwort powder (C patty) and grade E pork patty with mugwort powder (D patty) and the residual nitrite, surface color, pH, VBN (volatile basic nitrogen), TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) and total bacterial counts of the sample were determined during storage at 4$^{\circ}C$. The residual nitrite of pork patties with mugwort powder was highly decreased until storage for 2 weeks, pork patties without mugwort powder highly decreased until storage for 4 weeks, therefore addition of mugwort powder reduced residual nitrite of pork patty. The L＊ value of pork patty was the highest at early stage of storage, pork patties with mugwort powder were lower than that of pork patties without mugwort powder, and grade B pork patties were higher than that of the grade I pork patties. The a value of grade I pork patties were higher than that of grade B pork patties, and changes during storage were no significant difference. The b value of grade B pork patties were higher than that of grade I pork patties. The pH of pork patties decreased during storage. The VBN, TBARS and total bacterial counts added significantly during storage, and the addition of mugwort powder were not affected during storage.

Storage stabilities of soybean curds using cuttle bone powder treated with acetic acid (ATC-soybean curd) and calcium chloride (calcium chloride-soybean curd) as a coagulants were examined. The pH, turbidity of soaking solution, titratable acidity, and viable cell counts of calcium chloride-soybean curd did not change up to 6 days of storage, then decreased rapidly in pH and turbidity and increased rapidly in titratable acidity and viable cell counts, whereas those of ATC-soybean curd did not change up to 9 days of storage, then decreased slowly in pH and turbidity and increased slowly in titratable acidity and viable cell counts. Regardless of coagulants and storage period, white index of soybean curds did not change during cold storage. Hardness and brittleness of calcium chloride-soybean curd decreased rapidly up to 3 days in of storage, remained stable from 3 days to 6 days, then decreased rapidly. Hardness and brittleness of ATC-soybean curd also decreased rapidly up to 3 days in of storage and remained stable from 3 to 9 days, but then decreased slowly. Regardless of coagulants, results of sensory evaluation were similar to those of physicochemical tests. Judging from the above results, shelf-lives were determined as 9 and 6 days for ATC- and calcium chloride-soybean curds, respectively.

Chicken patties and frankfurters were manufactured by varying the relative proportion of MDM to HDM as raw materials, and their palatability, shelf-life and textural properties were evaluated. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Chicken patty containing MDM slowed gradual increase in TBA value during frozen storage, but its storage up to g weeks presented no problems in flavor stability. 2. Color score and total palatability of chicken patty were best for the product containing 30% MDM. It was also concluded that MDM can be included in the patties up to 50% of total meat with good results, but more than 70% was not recommended. 3. The formulation of MDM up to 50% in frankfurter gave a quite satisfactory acceptability and textural properties compararable to frankfurter made of 100% HDM, but the inclusion of more than 70% MDM was not recommended. 4. The TBA value of frankfurter containg MDM did not increase to any great extent until 4 weeks of storage at $4^{\circ}C$, indicating no unique problems in flavor instability compared to regular frankfurter. 5. It was concluded that processed meat products such as patties and frankfurters containing MDM up to $30{\sim}35%$ of total meat ingredients gave satisfactory results in color, texture and palatability, comparable to regular products.

Flounder sikhe is one of the traditional Korean fermented foods. Because honey, fucoidan, propolis, aronia berry, and horseradish are well known to have natural antimicrobial properties, we investigated their antimicrobial effects on improving the quality of flounder sikhe. Ethanol extracts of propolis inhibited the growth of Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes. The extracts of aronia berry showed similar effects against Salmonella Typhimurium. We also assessed the total polyphenol and total flavonoid content and 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrythydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity in the extracts obtained from these natural materials. The contents of polyphenols and flavonoids were the highest in propolis, which also showed a high DPPH radical scavenging activity. Therefore, addition of propolis 0.5% to flounder sikhe showed optimal improvement, with a storage stability of 15 days at pH 5.39, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content at 24.73 mg/100 g, and total bacterial count at $1.81{\times}10$ colony forming unit (CFU)/g.

This study was performed to examine the effects of electron beam irradiation on volatile flavor components of Shingo pear (Pyrus pyrifolia cv. Niitaka) and on their changes according to storing period following irradiation. Volatile flavor components in pear were extracted using simultaneous steam distillation and extraction (SDE) apparatus and analyzed by GC/MS. 46 components were identified in control whereas 45, 44, 48 and 51 components were identified in irradiated samples by electron beam at 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 3 kGy, respectively. Hexanal, n-hexanol, and (E)-2-hexenal were identified as the major volatile flavor components of all samples. The characteristic volatile flavor components of irradiated pear by electron beam were similar to those of control, and their effects depending on irradiation source were not different. In addition, there was no noticeable change in volatile flavor components of pear with storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 30 days or with irradiation. Sensory evaluation indicated that the consumer receptiveness tended to be higher at a low level of radiation dose under 1 kGy than control, albeit not significant. Therefore, electron beam irradiation at low level of radiation dose under 1 kGy could be considered as an effective method to exterminate vermin and thus to improve the shelf-stability of pear without deterioration.

This study investigated the effects of green tea powder (GTP) on the quality characteristics of Yukwa during storage, to improve shelf-stability and sensory quality. The crude lipid contents of Yukwa decreased with increasing levels of GTP, but significant changes in moisture contents were not found. 'The blowhole size and expansion rate of Yukwa decreased with increases in GTP. The hardness of Yukwa samples with over 2% (w/v) GTP significantly increased, but no notable changes in hardness during storage were found. Sensory evaluation tests indicated that all sensory characteristics decreased with increasing GTP levels, but there was no significant difference in overall acceptability between Yukwa samples with 1% (w/v) GTP and control. Antioxidant activity increased as the concentration of GTP increased 'The results indicate that addition of 1% (w/v) G1P yielded optimal quality of Yukwa during storage.

The quality characteristics and processing of rice cake (Backsulgi) with rice flour containing Lactobacillus plantarum CGKW3 by spray-drying (LP-B) were investigated. The LP-B was applied at ratios of 10, 20, and 30 (w/w), and the moisture contents and pH were 33.39%~36.70% and 5.81~5.46, respectively. The L value of LP-B increased as the rice flour decreased, while the a and b value increased as the LP-B increased. The texture profiles showed that Backsulgi prepared with LP-B mixture had higher hardness, cohesiveness, springiness and chewiness than 100% rice flour. The pH of LP-B Backsulgi (LP-B20 and LP-B30) did not differ during 6 days at room temperature. The total bacteria in Backsulgi prepared LP-B20 and LP-B30 Backsulgi was $10^4CFU/g$ after 2 days of storage at room temperature. The shelf life of Backsulgi prepared with LP-B20 and LP-B30 were extended by about 2 days when compared with the control at room temperature. Sensory evaluation showed that Backsulgi without LP-B20 had higher scores in terms of appearance, color, flavor, taste, texture, hardness and overall acceptability than Backsulgi without 100% rice flour. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that LP-B20 may prove quite useful as a Backsulgi flour with desirable properties.

The aim of this study was to investigate the quality changes in Supraspinatus muscle of Hanwoo with different packaging methods, such as wrapped packaging (C), vacuum packaging (V) and modified atmosphere packaging (MA). These samples were stored for 25 days under $5^{\circ}C$. Each sample was evaluated for pH, volatile basic mitrogen (VBN) value, purge loss, hardness, meat color and microbial counts. From the results obtained, no significant differences were observed among treatments at the pH. The VBN values of MA were significantly lower than those of C. Also, MA was enhanced stability of meat color compared with other packaging methods during storage days. The purge loss was the most in the V samples, followed by the C and the MA was the lowest. Total bacteria counts of MA sample were significantly lower than those from C. Therefore, it has been concluded that MA could be used as an effective packaging since it extends the shelf life and improve the quality of Hanwoo supraspinatus m.
