This study was performed to evaluate the antioxidant activities as well as quality and sensory characteristics of Rubus coreanus wine sauce prepared with different amounts of Rehmannia Radix Preparata concentrate (RPC, 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 %). Moisture content, salinity and acidity of control were 83.84%, 0.57% and 0.10%, respectively. Sugar content of control was 15.6 $^{\circ}Brix$. Acidities, and reducing sugar contents of sauces increased according to the added amount of RPC, whereas pH and color values of lightness, redness and yellowness in the Hunter color system of sauces decreased. Viscosity of sauces added with RPC significantly increased, compared to that of control. Total phenol contents of sauces increased according to RPC amount. Antioxidant activities such as DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities improved according to the amount of RPC, due to the increased amount of total phenol contents. Sensory results showed that the overall-preference scores were highest in sauces containing 0.1% RPC. Based on these results, it was suggested that 1.0% RPC addition to sauce is the most suitable to improve quality.

This study investigates the quality characteristics of Sikhye, a Korean traditional drink, made with different amounts of Monascus anka rice, or red yeast rice, and the results are as follows. During the saccharification process of red yeast rice, there was not significant change in pH, and its sugar content increased. It revealed that the optimal hours of saccharification for making Sikhye were four or five hours, which showed the highest in $^{\circ}Brix$. PH decreased significantly with increasing amounts of red yeast rice, and there was no change in sugar content and reducing sugar. Chromaticity L values decreased with increasing amounts of red yeast rice, and a value, b value and the turbidity increased. DPPH free radical scavenging activity of the samples showed significant differences in the samples with high scores as the amounts of red yeast rice increased. As a result of measuring the total microorganism number of the sample stored at $4^{\circ}C$, storability was improved with increasing amounts of red yeast rice. Preference was high in the order of 40%, 50%, 30%, 20%, 0%, and 10%, and the optimal amount of red yeast rice was less than 40-50%. Adding red yeast rice showed high scores in the sensory test, showing red color in Sikhye. In addition, its antioxidative activity effect and microbial growth inhibitory activity were considered to improve storability and preference.

This study was conducted to derive consumption of persimmon by the expansion of utilization of the persimmon flesh and peel. The valuable components were investigated in persimmon flesh and peel. Crude protein and fat contents in persimmon peel were higher than flesh but soluble sugar was more higher in flesh (with 71.3%) than peel (with 54.2%). Major free sugar in persimmon peel were glucose and fructose, the composition was similar to flesh. Major total amino acids in persimmon peel were glutamic acid, proline, methionine and aspartic acid. Proline, arginine, valine and alanine were relatively high in free amino acid. Oleic acid, linoleic acid and palmitic acid were the major fatty acid in persimmon peel, and the content of unsaturated fatty acid was more higher than flesh. Sugar cookies were processed using persimmon flesh and peel, when these powder were mixed with $5{\sim}10%$ to raw materials, the preference score was increased. Steamed rice cakes with persimmon were processed using persimmon flesh and peel, when sliced-dried persimmon was mixed to $10{\sim}20%$, the preference was increased, but persimmon peel was not. The quality of gruel which processed using persimmon flesh powder improved when mixed with flesh powder of 3%, rice powder, glutinous rice powder and skimmed milk, but persimmon peel was not suitable for gruel processing.

This study produced instant Gochujang(red pepper paste) with enhanced convenience by increasing nutritional value and palatability, and by reducing production period, adding in the red pepper seed in the red pepper paste production in order to increase the use of the red pepper seed that is not used often as a food ingredient even though its nutrition value when producing red pepper paste was proven. Moisture content, pH, L-value, a-value, b-value, sugar contents, and salinity of instant Gochujang tended to increase as the amount of red pepper seed increased, while viscosity manifested the opposite trend. Sensory evaluations were conducted on instant Gochujang to assess differences in characteristics, which demonstrated that as the amount of red pepper seeds powder increased, the intensity of redness for the red pepper paste's external appearance, luster, spicy flavor and taste, and savory taste were evaluated strong. Meanwhile, fermentation value, which is red pepper paste's foremost weakness was evaluated as weak. Moreover, there was no difference in the size of the grain when compared to the contrast group consisting of regular red pepper paste. The results of preference test demonstrated that the RG3 with 30% of red pepper seed is optimal in terms of the external appearance, taste, texture and overall preference.

Recently, though mulberry's superiority as a functional food has been proven, its use as a food material is limited. Therefore, in this study, to develop jelly using mulberry that is compatible with Korean tastes as health functional food by grafting the method to manufacture jelly consumed as a dessert or a snack in the west, according to the central composite design, mulberry jelly was produced by varying the content of citric acid ($X_1$), sucrose ($X_2$), and gelatin ($X_3$) at 5 levels. And by applying the response surface methodology, rheology and sensory preference experiment results were analyzed, the optimization of mulberry jelly manufacturing condition was carried out, and studies on the analysis of composition were performed. As the sensory preference of mulberry jelly, except the flavor, the remaining hardness, elasticity, sweetness, color, and the overall quality were found to be significant. And similarly, it was found to be influenced greatly by gelatin content generally. Based on the overlapped part of categories, in the range of factors that satisfy all the sensory categories, the value located in the middle was calculated, the optimization point was obtained, and it was found to be 6.2 g citric acid, 141.0 g sugar, and 13.5 g gelatin.
