This study was designed to investigate the changes in physicochemical and sensory characteristics of traditional kochujang during aging, which was prepared with a different meju fermented for various periods of time. The non-volatile organic acid contents in all samples gradually increased up to 90 days of fermentation. Kochujang prepared with a 40-day-fermented meju had $1.14{\sim}2.54$ times highter organic acid content after 90 days of aging as compared to other kochujang preparations. The most abundant free sugars were found to be glucose and fructose representing $82.27{\sim}100%$ of total free sugar contents in kochujang. 17 kinds of free amino acid including Glu, Asp and Met were found in traditional kochujang aged for 90 days. Glu was noted as the most contributing amino acid to the brothy taste of kochujang in the light of increasing ratio and content of Glu among free amino acids during aging. The total free amino acid contents of kochujang increased with an Increase in fermentation time of meju. Results of sensory evaluation revealed that kochujang prepared with a 40-day-fermented meju was best in terms of flavor and taste. These results suggest that kochujang prepared with a 40-day-fermented meju had the highest quality in terms of physicochemical and sensory characteristics of kochujang.

This study aims to make stock using cod bones with the hot water extraction method. Moisture content, chromaticity, pH, salinity, sugar content, mineral contents, quantitative analysis, and overall acceptance were studied to determine the standard formula. The results are as follows. The moisture content decreased (p < 0.001) and color value increased as heating time increased. The pH was highest in CS5 which was heated for 30 minutes and lowest in CS1. The salinity and sugar content significantly increased with more heating time (p < 0.001). In terms of mineral contents, sodium was highest in 138.87~154.17 mg, magnesium and iron showed proportion difference with increased heating time. The mineral analysis test result revealed that sodium, magnesium and iron showed proportional difference with increased heating time, while potassium and calcium did not change. The result of quantitative analysis test showed transparency, fishy smell, delicate flavor, savory flavor, salt taste and umami taste became stronger as high-pressure heating time increased. From these result, CS4 was evaluated to be the best in appearance, flavor, taste, aftertest and overall acceptance. Also, 60 minute high-pressure heating time is the most desirable to produce stock using cod bones as a main ingredient.

This study examined the purchasing behavior and satisfaction of people with convenience store PB foods. The factors affecting the purchasing behavior and the overall satisfaction with the convenience store PB foods were examined. This study first found that the purchasing motivation of PB foods is the cheaper price than NB foods. Second, age is a statistically effective variable for the visit frequency at the convenience store and gender and age are effective variables for the purchase frequency of PB foods. Third, there is a statistically positive correlation of convenience store brand preference with the PB food brand preference for 6 food categories. Next, in terms of the attribute-level satisfaction, the most satisfied areas are diverse food groups and diverse food taste and the least satisfied areas is price. This is followed by taste and design/packaging influence overall satisfaction. From this analysis, the following suggestions were drawn. First, because consumers are likely to be matched convenience store brand preference and PB food brand preference, advertising is necessary to ensure that the consumers continue to visit the convenience store. Second, product improvement by increasing the quality should be designed to motivate the major consumer group of people in their 20s and 30s. Finally, to boost PB food satisfaction, the industry should improve the taste and design/packaging.

In this study, we evaluated physicochemical properties and sensory characteristics of teriyaki sauce made by using the shell, the byproduct of red snow crab. Moisture content was the highest in fried FRC and the lowest in immersed SOC- while viscosity exhibited contrary tendency. The pH was the highest in dried DRC and the lowest in untreated RAC. Chromaticity was the highest in fried FRC for L, a, and b values altogether. Such result was considered attributable to elution of astaxanthin, a fat-soluble dye protein, which affected chromaticity while it underwent pre-treatment by being fried. Salinity was the highest in fried FRC and lowest in immersed SOC. Available solid contents exhibited contrary tendency. The total free amino acid content was the highest in immersed SOC and the lowest in untreated RAC. Contents of essential amino acids and tasty amino acids, the free amino acids, were the highest in SOC, suggesting that savory taste manifested the most noticeably among specimens treated differently by varying methods. The results of preference test showed that SOC, which showed the highest free amino acid content, also showed the highest preference in terms of outwards appearance, fragrance, taste, texture, and overall items of preference. Those results suggested that the immersion of red snow crab shell increased elution of available solid content and tasty components, influencing the preference of overall taste of teriyaki sauce positively, concerning pre-treatment methods. Based on overall results of the experiment in this study, pre-treatment involving immersion would lead to production of teriyaki with excellent nutrition and sensory features in connection with the use of red snow crab shell for manufacturing teriyaki.

This study investigated the effects of saltwort powder on the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of patties added with saltwort powder. Patties were prepared with different amounts (0, 1, 2, and 3%) of saltwort powder. The total phenolic content, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, and pH of patties increased with increasing saltwort powder content (P<0.05). In particular, the moisture content and cooking loss of the group added with 2% saltwort powder were the highest and lowest, respectively (P<0.05). As the content of saltwort powder increased, $L^*$ and $a^*$ values decreased while $b^*$ value increased. Texture analysis showed that the hardness, chewiness, and gumminess of the control group were lower than those of the treated group (P<0.05). Consumer acceptability showed that 1% and 2% saltwort powder groups scored higher in terms of overall preference, appearance, color, taste, and texture compared to the other groups. Characteristic intensity rating of saltwort patties showed that as more saltwort powder was added, saltwort taste intensified; however, the increase did not affect juiciness, off flavor, or salty taste of the patties. Judging from the results, it was concluded that the addition of saltwort powder to patties in processing can enhance the preference, quality, and antioxidant activities of the patties, which elevates the value of patties.

The effect of xylitol on the Dongchimi fermentation was investigated by measuring the sensory, physicochemical and microbiological properties during fermentation of up to 30 days. Dongchimi with 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4％ w/v xylitol was fermented at 10$^{\circ}C$. The addition of 1％ xylitol gave the highest scores in terms of the overall acceptability, texture, ripeness, sweet taste and smell. During the fermentation, the total acidity increased, while the pH gradually decreased. The reducing sugars showed the highest content with the addition of 1％ xylitol. The vitamin C was increased in the early stage of fermentation, but reduced gradually after 5 days. The vitamin C content of the Dongchimi with 2％ xylitol addition was shown to be the highest. The total viable cells and lactic acid bacteria increased between 2 and 5 days of fermentation, but were gradually reduced thereafter. The numbers of lactic acid bacteria with 1％ xylitol addition were more numerous than with the other percentage additions. The current study showed that the application of 1％ xylitol to the fermentation of Dongchimi enhanced the sensory values of the fermented product.
