We investigate the quality characteristics and free radical scavenging ability of yanggaeng prepared with different amounts of grape juice (GJ). GJ was incorporated into yanggaeng at different levels (containing 50, 100, 150, and 200 g of GJ in yanggaeng, respectively) based on the total weight of water. Sugar contents showed a significant increase; however, pH showed a decrease with increasing levels of GJ. In terms of color, lightness and yellowness decreased significantly but redness increased with increasing levels of GJ. In a texture profile analysis, hardness were increased; however, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness decreased with increasing levels of GJ. Total polyphenol content and 1,1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity increased significantly as the GJ concentration increased in the formulation. The sensory evaluation indicated that yanggaeng containing the 150 g level of GJ showed the best preference in terms of color, taste, texture, flavor, and overall acceptance. These results suggest that grape juice may be a useful ingredient in yanggaeng to improve quality and antioxidant potential.

This paper investigated the optimal conditions for coffee extraction and dilution by comparing differences in soluble compounds and sensory characteristics of coffee subjected to cold-water extraction according to water quantity and dilution ratio. For sample preparation, we extracted coffee for 3 to 10 hours by adding 400 mL, 600 mL, 1,000 mL and 1,800 mL of cold water ($20^{\circ}C$) to 100 g of ground coffee, resulting in 200 mL, 400 mL, 800 mL and 1,600 mL portions of extracted coffee, respectively. Following this, the 200 mL, 400 mL and 800 mL portions of extracted coffee were further diluted with 1,400 mL, 1,200 mL and 800 mL of cold water, resulting in ratios of coffee to cold water of 1:7, 1:3 and 1:1, respectively. The 1,600 mL of portion of extracted coffee was not diluted and used as a sample. Undiluted coffee showed the highest values for pH, acidity, reducing sugar, total soluble solids and total phenolic compounds among all sample coffees, whereas the highly diluted coffee with a high ratio of 1:7 showed the lowest values. In a descriptive test, odor, sourness, bitterness and body intensity were also the highest in undiluted coffee due to the overly extracted coffee compounds. Undiluted coffee showed the lowest preference in terms of aroma, aftertaste and balanced coffee taste. On the other hand, diluted coffee at a ratio of 1:7 showed the lowest values for odor, sourness, bitterness and body intensity. Diluted coffee at a ratio of 1:3 showed the highest values for sweetness and acidity and was the most preferred in terms of aroma, aftertaste and balance. As a result, our study concluded that the optimal conditions for extraction and dilution of coffee with cold water are a ratio of ground coffee to cold water of 1:6 (w/v), followed by further dilution of the coffee by cold water at a ratio of 1:3.

This study examines the antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of fermented Codonopsis lanceolata tea according to the heating temperature and time. The browning, turbidity, reducing sugar, total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents all increased with increasing of heating temperature and time, but the pH decreased within the range of error. In particular, the total polyphenol contents of the heat treatment sample for 15 minutes at $200^{\circ}C$ are increased to about 4.5 times of 713.71mg/100ml as compared to the control group. From the results of the antioxidant activity test, as both the heating temperature and time increases, the antioxidant activity was increased for DPPH radical-scavenging activity, FRAP and reducing its power. In the case of the samples treated with heat for 15 minutes at $200^{\circ}C$ in the DPPH radical scavenging ability, it increased about twice more than the 45.17% control plot at 85.40%, and the reducing power and FRAP were increased to approximately two or three times more than the control group. According to the results for sensory test of fermented C. lanceolata tea according to heating temperature and time, the preference was confirmed as high by heat treatment due to increased temperature and time. Heat treatment process of C. lanceolata during the process is determined by the conditions required for high value-added products through the improvements of the taste and functionality of C. lanceolata.

The objective of this study is to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of yanggaeng prepared with different amounts of aronia juice. Aronia juice was incorporated into yanggaeng at different levels (containing 50, 100, and 150 g of aronia juice in AJ 50, AJ 100, and AJ 150, respectively) based on the total weight of water. Total acidity and sugar contents showed a significant increase, however, pH showed a decrease with increasing levels of aronia juice. Hardness also showed an increase with increasing levels of aronia juice. Regarding texture profile analysis, hardness, springiness, and chewiness of yanggaeng were increased, however, cohesiveness was similar compared to the control and aronia juice added treatments. In chromaticity determination, L and b values showed a decrease, however, a value increased with increasing levels of aronia juice. The total polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanin contents were increased proportionally with increasing levels of aronia juice. Antioxidant activity measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were significantly higher than those of control and increased proportionally according to the concentration of aronia juice. The sensory evaluation indicated that AJ 100 showed the best preference in color, taste, texture, flavor, and overall acceptance. These results suggest that aronia juice may be a useful ingredient in yanggaeng for improvement of quality and antioxidant potential.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the preferred methods for making summer kimchi as a basic research of making commercial kimchi. Questionnaire were collected from 590 housewives nationwide in Korea, and the data were analyzed by SPSS program. The results were as follows: (1) The average salting time of Chinese cabbage was 3~5 hrs when the combined method of dry and brine salting was used, regardless of the region. (2) Seven jeotkals (salt-fermented fishes) including anchovy, anchovy juice, shrimp, northern sand lance juice, hair-tail viscera, flatfish and yellow corvenia were mainly used in kimchi. Among them, anchovy and anchovy juice jeotkals were preferred to all others in Southern area (Busan, Gwangju, Gyeongnam, Gyeongbuk, Jeonnam), while shrimp jeotkal in Seoul, Gwangju, Jeonbuk, Chungnam and Jeju, and northern sand lance juice jeotkal in Daegu, Daejeon and Gyeonggi, respectively. In most regions, however, blending type of 2 jeotkals was used in kimchi. (3) Eleven ingredients such as red pepper, garlic, ginger, green onion, radish, leek, onion, carrot, sugar, sesame and MSG were used as basic components for making kimchi. In particular, MSG was used as a basic ingredient regardless of region and age. However, a standard taste for making kimchi was depended on housewife in this study.

Fermentation characteristics and microbial changes during storage of brined Chinese cabbage were investigated. Ten Chinese cabbage cultivars harvested in fall were brined and stored at $0^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$. The decrease in pH and increase in total acidity during storage were different in their tendency among the varieties. Microbial growth including lactic acid bacteria was more active at $10^{\circ}C$ and most active in `Noranmat'. The reduction of their reducing sugar contents during storage resulted in slow fermentation of kimchi prepared with those cabbage stored. From the results of sensory evaluation on kimchi prepared with each brined Chinese cabbage cultivar in storage, `Keunyureum' among the cultivats stored at $0^{\circ}C$ received the highest points on preference. But, at $10^{\circ}C$, `Sinkiwon' received the highest points and 'Noktab' received the lowest points.

The objective of this study was to manufacture three kinds of domestic sweet potato Makgeolli using a mixture design and an optimization technique. The effects of four different manufacture methods, such as simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) with or without malt and separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) with or without malt were determined. The SSF methods of Makgeolli produced higher alcohol content than that of SHF methods. The sensory score was not influenced by different making methods. Fourteen experimental points were selected, and rice (10~50%), sweet potato (10~50%) and water (40~60%) were chosen as independent variables. The measured responses were sensory preference, total polyphenol content, and DPPH radical scavenging activities. The ratio of the optimum sweet potato Makgeolli mixture formulation was developed as 15.11 (rice): 44.89 (sweet potato): 40 (water) using the optimization technique. The desirability of the optimum mixture formulation was 0.839. Yellow sweet potato Makgeolli using the optimum mixture formulation produced higher soluble sugar content compared to others. Regular sweet potato Makgeolli produced higher pH. The purple sweet potato Makgeolli's total polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging activity were measured to be the highest at $771.91{\pm}1.42mg\;GAE/{\ell}$, $131.55{\pm}4.03%$.

To prevent deterioration of the jujube wine quality by using heat sterilization while commercial production, ultrafiltration and microfiltration were applied. The permeate flux and physicochemical properties of jujube wine determined by MF and UF membrane ($0.2\;{\mu}m$ pore size and 50 K dalton cut off) were investigated. The permeate flux increasing caused the increased operating pressure. The Hunter L value of jujube wine treated MF and UF was increased and that of b value was decreased. The turbidity of jujube wine treated MF and UF was largely decreased. And the values of pH, ethanol, total acid and soluble solid were decreased or were at the same level comparing with untreated jujube wine. Retention percentage of sugar and organic acid was more than 80% and was not influenced by operating pressure. Results of sensory evaluation indicated that the color of UF was superior to un-treatment and commercial ones. And the flavor and taste were not significantly different with untreated jujube wine. The quality deterioration of commercial jujube wine could be improved by MF and UF. According to the sensory evaluation, there was also not difference between MF and UF for preference test. Therefore, the quality of jujube wine could be improved by MF having better separation yield efficiency than UF.
