We investigated the quality and sensory characteristics of model tomato sauces which was made from fresh Vitaking tomatoes and American canned tomatoes in the mixture ratios of 0:100% ($S_1$), 25:75% ($S_2$), 50:50% ($S_3$), 75:25% ($S_4$) and 100:0% ($S_5$). Soluble solids, reducing sugars, vitamin C and organic acids increased as the contents of fresh tomatoes increased. pH and contents of $\beta$-carotene and lycopene decreased as the contents of fresh tomatoes increased. Lightness(L value) and yellowness (b value) increased as the contents of fresh tomatoes increased whereas redness (a value) didn't show any significant differences among samples. In the preference test, $S_3$ was the most preferred in red color, taste and overall preference. In the descriptive test, $S_1$ ranked the highest in redness, viscosity, palatability and flavor except for sweet and sour taste. $S_5$ was the lowest in redness, viscosity and palatability, being the highest in sour taste. From this result, we found that the mixture ratio of half fresh tomatoes and canned tomatoes was the best condition to make tomato sauce with preferred red color.

Recognition thresholds for NaCl, sucrose, citric acid, and caffeine, as well as the pleasant concentration of NaCl were assessed in 176 males and 312 females aged 50-88 years. Furthermore, relationships among taste sensitivities, taste preferences, and lifestyles were examined. The taste solutions were presented one after the other in ascending order using the sip-and-spit method. For the recognition thresholds of the 4 basic tastes, women perceived significantly lower concentrations than the men. However, the pleasant concentration of NaCl did not show a gender difference. Sensitivities for the 4 basic tastes did not decrease with age in the men, but they did significantly decrease with age for the women, especially for those above 70 years. For men, regular exercise was positively correlated with sensitivities for sour taste and bitter taste, and physical activity was negatively correlated with the pleasant concentrations of NaCl. For women, who had more physical activity, sensitivities for sweet taste and sour taste were lower compared to the others. This study indicates that the sensitivities for 4 basic tastes in water diminished with age, but pleasant salt concentration did not change with age. Further research on pleasant NaCl concentration is required to determine factors affecting salt preference, in order to decrease salt intake in the elderly.

This study was carried out to establish the optimal conditions for curd yogurt using saccharified rice solution. A central composite design was applied to investigate the effects of pectin (2.8~8.4 g), skim milk (14~70 g) and oligosaccharide (28~84 g) ratio on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of curd yogurt using saccharified rice solution. pH, total acidity, and color value, were analyzed and sensory evaluation was performed. The pH of curd yogurt decreased with decreasing pectin and oligosaccharide ratio. The addition of pectin had a significant effect on the viscosity while skim milk had a significant effect on the color value (a and b value). The results of sensory evaluation showed that, oligosaccharide and skim milk had significant effects on sweetness and sour taste. Oligosaccharide and skim milk masked the sour taste of curd yogurt. The optimum range of ingredients for curd yogurt using saccharified rice solution was predicted to be 4.27~4.90 g of pectin, 30.80~41.30 g of skim milk, and 28.00~36.10 g of oligosaccharide. Based on the overlapped results of physicochemical and sensory evaluation, the optimal amounts of pectin, skim milk and oligosaccharide were 4.59 g, 36.50 g and 32.05 g, respectively.

The Sulfide Stress Corrosion Cracking (SSCC) resistance of structural steels is one of the critical concerns for the operators, material designers, and fabricators of oil-field equipment, especially treating sour gas (H2S) containing fluids. As far as its fabricators concerned, the systematic care of welding parameters should be taken to obtain comparable SSCC resistance of their weldment to that of its base material. In this respect, every different type of welding joint design for this use should be verified to be SSCC-proof with relevant test procedures. In this study, the welding parameters to secure a proper SSCC resistance of steel pipe's weldments were reviewed on the Welding Procedure Qualification Records (WPQR), which had been employed for actual fabrication of an offshore structure for oil and gas production. Based on this review, a guideline of welding parameters, such as, heat input, welding consumable for Y.S. 65 ksi class steel pipe material is proposed in terms of the NACE criteria for SSCC resistance.

In order to guarantee the safety of Korean Naeng Myon Broth in summer, pH and micrological quality of iced noodle gravy which is cooked and sold in public restaurant were investigated. And the variations of pH, taste and microorganism were studied with organic acid treatment during storage period. The micrological status of iced noodle gravy showed that average number of total aerobic bacteria was 2.7${\times}$105CFU/$m\ell$ and fecal coliform was 8.3${\times}$103CFU/$m\ell$ respectly. Food poison microorganisms not detected and average of pH was 4.8. pH changed slightly during storage period and deceased with increasement of organic acid added. Sour taste of organic acid increased acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid order and there was no organic acid having with more sour taste than iced noodle gravy which is cooked and sold in public restaurant. Salmonella was destroyed when treated with 1% of acetic acid and lactic acid and Escherichia coli became extinct at treatment with 0.8% acetic acid and 1% lactic acid. in case of same concentration, inhibition effects to Escherichia coli multiplication show citric acid, lactic acid, acetic acid order. In conclusion, treatment with more than 0.8% acetic acid and above 1.0% lactic acid or more than 1.0% citric acid in case of production and consumption a day can prevent from Escherichia coli pollution in Korean Naeng Myon Broth.

The characteristics of natural lactic acid fermentation of radish juice were investigated at different salt concentrations (0~2%) and temperatures (10~3$0^{\circ}C$). Major lactic acid bacteria isolated from the radish juice fermented at 2% slat concentration were Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus brevis. The percentage of lactic acid bacteria against total microbe in the fermented radish juice was over 80% at 0~1% salt concentrations, suggesting the possibility of fermentation even at low salt concentration, but was still active even at 1$0^{\circ}C$. The time to reach pH 4.0 during fermentation of juice of 1% salt concentration was 281~301 hrs at 1$0^{\circ}C$ and 50-73 hrs at 3$0^{\circ}C$. The concentrations of sucrose and glucose in the fermented juice were low at high temperatures and were the lowest at a 1.0% salt concentration. However, the content of mannitol showed the opposite trend. Although sour taste, ripened taste, and acidic odor of the fermented juice showed no significant differences among various temperatures and salt concentrations, sensory values of ripened taste and sour acidic were high at high temperatures. The overall quality was the best at 1.0% salt concentration, irrespective of the temperature.

Objectives : The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between salivary flow, palate recognition threshold, DMFT index and oral health influence point (OHIP-14) of the adults over 40 years old. Methods : Salivary flow and taste recognition threshold were measured in 220 adults over 40 years old from three dental clinics in Daegu from January 3 to February 4, 2012. A total of 208 questionnaires were analyzed. Results : The adults recognized the sour taste in low concentration level when the salivary flow was faster. DMFT index was low in those who recognized sweet and sour taste that affected OHIP-14. Conclusions : Tooth decaying food must be restricted because of its high acidity in the past despite the individuals' taste recognition threshold was neglected. Before the diet control, it is necessary to measure the taste threshold of the individuals. Training for improving salivary flow is very important to prevent dental caries and to preserve good taste.

A sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) operated with a cycle of anaerobic - aerobic - anoxic - aerobic has been evaluated for the nutrient removal characteristics. The sponge-like moving media was filled to about 10% of reactor volume. The sewage was the major substrate while external synthetic carbon substrate was added to the anoxic stage to enhance the nitrogen removal. The operational results indicated that maximum T-N and T-P removal efficiencies were 97% and 94%, respectively were achieved, while COD removal of 92%. The observations of significant nitrogen removal in the first aerobic stage indicated that nitrogen removal behaviour in this SBBR was different to conventional SBR. Although the reasons for aerobic nitrogen removal has speculated to either simultaneous nitrification and denitrification or anoxic denitrification inside of the media, further researches are required to confirm the observation. The specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) test with biofilm and suspended growth sludge indicated that biofilm in SBBR played a major role to remove substrates.
