Retrogradation properties of cowpea and mung bean starch gels were investigated by rate of retrogradation, X-ray diffraction patterna and syneresis of gels. Retrogradation time constant of mung bean starch gel(30%) by Avrami equation had a similar value to that of cowpea starch gel. X-ray diffraction patterns of the two retrograded starch gels(10%) were B-type. The extent of retrogradation determined by syneresis showed that cowpea starch gel was a little larger than that of mung bean starch gel(6~10%).

This study was performed to determine the quality characteristics of mixed polysaccharide gels made from kcarrageenan and locust bean gum with various kiwifruit content after freeze-thawing. The syneresis, rupture properties, TPA properties and sensory properties of the mixed polysaccharide gels with various kiwifruit contents after freeze-thawing were measured. The syneresis of the gel with various kiwifruit contents by freeze-thawing was not significantly different, whereas repeating freeze-thawing resulted in remarkable increase in the syneresis of the mixed polysaccharide gels with 5％, 20％ and 40％ kiwifruit. In terms of the rupture properties, the rupture stress, rupture energy and rupture strain decreased with increasing kiwifruit content after freeze-thawing. In terms of the TPA properties, the adhesiveness, hardness and chewiness increased and the cohesiveness decreased with increasing kiwifruit content after freeze-thawing. The rupture properties, springiness and cohesiveness of the gel by freeze-thawing were lower than those of the gel stored in the refrigerator. In contrast, the gumminess, hardness and chewiness of the gel after freeze-thawing were higher than those of the gel stored in the refrigerator. The results showed that the gel became crumbly and tough as a result of freeze-thawing. In the sensory evaluation, He overall acceptability of the gel after freeze-thawing was highest at the 30％ kiwifruit content, and differences in the sensory properties between the gel after freeze-thawing and that stored in the refrigerator were small. Therefore, mixed polysaccharide gels with kiwifruit after freeze-thawing could be useful despite the small decrease in quality.

This study was carried out to determine the effects of various contents of kiwifruit contents on the quality characteristics of mixed polysaccharide gels made from $\kappa$-carrageenan and locust bean gum. The color value, gelling temperature, melting temperature, break down rate, syneresis, rupture properties, TPA properties and sensory properties of mixed polysaccharide gels with various contents of kiwifruit contents were measured. As the kiwifruit contents was increased, the lightness (L), yellowness (b) and greenness (-a) of the mixed polysaccharide gels increased. There were no differences in the color values of gels during storage. As the kiwifruit content was increased, the gelling and melting temperatures of the mixed polysaccharide gels also increased. The mixed polysaccharide gels with high kiwifruit contents were difficult to melt, and it seemed that the addition of kiwifruit to the mixed polysaccharide gels could improve the thennal stability of the gels. The syneresis of the gel increased with increasing storage time, whereas the addition of kiwifruit to the gel resulted in suppression of syneresis. With regard to the rupture properties, stress, energy and strain, they were all decreased with increasing kiwifruit contents. The TPA properties, adhesiveness, hardness and chewiness increased and cohesiveness decreased with increasing kiwifruit contents. The results showed that the gel became tough and adhesive, and could be easily broken under small deformation, with increasing kiwifruit contents. The sensory evaluation showed that the green color, aroma, sweetness and sourness increased with increasing kiwifruit contents. The texture, adhesiveness, springiness and cohesiveness decreased, and brittleness and hardness increased, with increasing kiwifruit contents. The overall acceptability of the gel with 30% kiwifruit content was the highest. Thus, mixed polysaccharide gels made from kiwifruits could be useful, as the addition of kiwifruit to a mixed polysaccharide gel results in a good aroma, taste and stability, despite a lowering of the textural properties.

This study was attempted to investigate the sensory and textural characteristics of mungbean starch gels with soy bean oil and sucrose fatty acid ester(SE) addition during room temperature storage. Freshly prepared mungbean starch gels, with and without soy bean oil and SE, were stored at 25$^{\circ}C$ for 24, 48 and 72 hours. The color value, syneresis, texture and sensory properties of the gels were measured. The lightness(L) of the gels with soy bean oil and without additives was similar whereas that with SE was lower than that without additives. Syneresis of the gels with soy bean oil and SE was lower than that without additives. Rupture stress, rupture strain and rupture energy of the freshly prepared gel with 2∼4% soy bean oil were increased, but there were no differences in rupture properties between the gel with soy bean oil and that without additives. Rupture stress, rupture stain and rupture energy of all the gels with SE were decreased. Addition of soy bean oil to the gel did not change the texture profile of the gel, whereas hardness, springiness and chewiness of the gel with SE were decreased. In sensory evaluation, the acceptability of freshly prepared gel with soy bean oil was similar to that without additives, whereas that of the gel with 2% soy bean oil stored for 24 hours was higher than that without additives. The acceptability of the gel with SE was decreased significantly.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of persimmon powder on the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of mung bean starch gel. Mung bean starch gels were prepared with different amounts (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9%) of persimmon powder. The antioxidant activity was estimated by the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity and by the total phenolic acid content in the persimmon powder and mung bean starch gel. For analyzing the quality characteristics, syneresis, pH, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations were measured. The syneresis in the control group was higher than that in the treated group, but the mung bean starch gel prepared with 9% persimmon powder was higher than that of the control group (p<0.001). The pH, b values, total phenolic acid content, and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of mung bean starch gels significantly increased with increasing persimmon powder (p<0.001), while the L values and a values of the mung bean starch gels significantly decreased with increasing persimmon powder (p<0.001). In the texture profile analysis, the mung bean starch gel with 9% persimmon powder showed significantly lower levels of chewiness, gumminess, and cohesiveness (p<0.05). The hardness and springiness of the mung bean starch gel did not show any significant difference. The consumer acceptability score for the mung bean starch gel prepared with 7% persimmon powder ranked significantly higher than that for the other groups in overall preference, appearance, flavor, and color (p<0.05). From these results;we suggest that persimmon powder is a good ingredient for increasing consumer acceptability and the functionality of mung bean starch gel.

This study attempted to determine the effect of storage temperature(5$^{\circ}C$ and 25$^{\circ}C$) and time(1, 24, 48 and 72 hours) on the sensory and textural properties of mungbean starch gels. The color value, syneresis, texture and sensory properties of mungbean starch gels were measured. As the storage time increased, the lightness(L) and whiteness(W) values of mungbean starch gel increased. This trend was more apparent at the storage temperature of 5$^{\circ}C$. The syneresis of gels also increased as the storage time increased and the storage temperature was lower. As the storage time increased, the hardness of the gel increased whereas the adhesiveness and cohesiveness of the gel decreased. These results showed that mungbean starch gel lost its typical viscoelasticity during storage. This trend was also more apparent at the storage temperature of 5$^{\circ}C$. Sensory characteristics of the gel were well correlated with the mechanical characteristics. Overall quality of the gel decreased markedly at the 2nd day storage at 5$^{\circ}C$ and at the 3rd day storage at 25$^{\circ}C$.

This study investigated the effects of ginkgo nut powder on the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of mung bean starch gel. Mung bean starch gels were prepared with different amounts of ginkgo nut powder (0, 1, 3, 5, and 7%). The antioxidant activity of ginkgo nut powder and mung bean starch gel was estimated through measuring DPPH free radical scavenging activity and total phenolic acid content. For analyzing quality characteristics several factors were considered: syneresis, pH, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations. In the results, syneresis in the treated group was higher than the control group. The pH, b values, total phenolic acid content, and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of mung bean starch gels also significantly increased with increasing ginkgo nut powder. In contrast, the L values and a values of mung bean starch gels significantly decreased with increasing ginkgo nut powder. In the texture profile analysis, the mung bean starch gels with 5% and 7% ginkgo nut powder showed significantly lower degrees of hardness, chewiness, and gumminess. On the other hand, cohesiveness was highest in the mung bean starch gels with 5% and 7% ginkgo nut powder. The consumer acceptability score for the mung bean starch gel prepared with 5% and 7% ginkgo nut powder ranked significantly higher than the other groups in flavor and taste. Overall, these results suggest that ginkgo nut powder is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of mung bean starch gel.

Mung bean starch gel (Mook) and gel made from starch of cowpea are similar properties in texture. In order to elucidate the similarity between these two starch gels, some physicochemical properties of cowpea starch were compared with those of mung bean starch. Water bildings capacity of cowpea starch (183.6%) was a little low than that of mung bean starch (184.2%). The solobility, swelling power and optical transmitance of the cowpea starch showed a smiliar pattern to mung bean starch, but cowpea starch had a little lower solubility than mung bean starch. Amylogram of mung bean strach (4, 5, 6, 7%) shoved no peak viscosity but cowpea starch (4, 5, 6%) showed peak viscosity and both starches showed high viscosities when cooling. Cowpea and mung bean starches had the blue value of 0.41 and 0.47, the alkali number of 8.4 and 8.0, the amylose content of 30.5 and 32.1%, the molecular weight of amylose of 30,000 adn 29,258 and glucose unit per segment of amylopectin of 27.6 and 26.8 respectively. The shape of cowpea and mung bean strach granules were round and elliptical, and the mean vlalue of major axis, minor axis and the ratio of these were 20.7 and 21.8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, 14.6 and 14.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 1.42 and 1.51, respectively. The extent of retrogradation determined by the glucoamylase digestion method and syneresis showed that cowpea starch gel was larger than that syneresis showed than cowpea starch gel was larger than that of mung bean starch gel. The redults of X-ray diffraction studies showed A pattern for two starches, Diffraction peak of gels disappeared with gelatinization of starches but that of two starch gels storaged for 2 days at 5$^{\circ}C$ showed a similar patterm.

The effects of salt concentration on the qualities of cooked egg preparations were evaluated. Diluted egg samples which contained different amounts of slat were prepared by diluting whole egg fluid with rice washing, anchovy stock , or distilled water. After heating them rapidly, hardness, gel strength, and amount of syneresis were determined along with the performance of sensory test. the pH of the diluted eggs also measured before heating. Results obtained from these experiments are summarized in the following. 1. The pH of whole egg, egg yolk, and egg white was 7.32, 6.31, and 8.41 , respectively. 2. The pH whole eggs after addition of diluting solutions and salt showed a little differences over the whole salt concentration as follows. distilled water dilution > anchovy stock dilution > rice washing dilution 3. The hardness and gel strength of cooked samples were increased with the increase of salt concentration in the range of low salt concentrations of all diluting solution. These physical properties marked maximal values at salt concentration of 3% and then decreased as salt concentration increased. 4. Amount of syneresis decreased as salt concentration increased regardless of all diluting solutions used. 5. In sensory test, 1% salt concentration were scored good by the panel members regardless of diluting solutions which showed no significant difference among three diluting solutions.
