This study investigated the quality characteristics of muffins prepared with tagatose. The effect of tagatose were evaluated in terms of height, volume, weight, specific volume, baking loss rate, moisture contents, colorimeter, sensory evaluation, and texture of muffins during storage (1, 3, 5 days) and texture was measured using a texture analyzer. As the ratio of tagatose increased, the volume, specific volume, baking loss rate, and height decreased, whereas moisture content increased. During storage, control without tagatose showed the highest springiness lowest hardness by TPA, whereas hardness of muffins increased and springiness decreased as the contents of tagatose increased. Lightness of crust and crumb decreased significantly as contents of tagatose increased. According to the sensory evaluation, the control group showed the highest score in terms of texture but was not significant with 2% tagatose (T2). For appearance, color, flavor, taste, and overall acceptance, T2 showed the best result.

The optimization of Omija-pyun as a traditional dessert, with the most European taste and year round availability, was studied with regard to its texture. The response surface methodology was used to determine the optimal composition of Omija-pyun as a European style dessert. The texture, including the springiness, gumminess, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, hardness and chewiness, was measured using TPA parameters (TA-HD Texture Analyser, stable micro system, UK). The texture of Omija-pyun was influenced by pectin and sucrose to the first linear order. The properties of springiness and adhesiveness were influenced by pectin x pectin to the second quadratic order. No cross product effects between ingredients were found from the analysis. The maximum springiness was obtained with 42g of pectin, 450g of sucrose, 110g of glucose syrup and 4.8g of tartaric acid. The maximum chewiness was with 55g of pectin, 330g of sucrose, 140g of glucose syrup and 5.7g of tartaric acid. The maximum adhesiveness was achieved using 17g of pectin and 400g of sucrose. The gumminess and hardness increased with increasing pectin content, and a cross product effect was observed(Eds note: you said earlier that no cross product effects between the ingredients was found\ulcorner) between sucrose and glucose syrup.

This study was carried out to develop the processed cheese with the increase of unsaturated fatty acid by substituting different vegetable oils for the improvement of nutritional aspects without reducing its sensory advantage and texture properties. The texture properties(hardness, elasticity, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, brittleness and gumminess), meltability, fat leakage degree and sensory evaluation of the processed cheese were analyzed and compared. The meltability of the processed cheese was measured in the range from 59.7 to 138.3mm, the sample substituted with corn oil showed the lowest meltability but the sample substituted with butter resulted in the highest meltability. The degree of fat leakage had the range from 8.28 to 14.71$\textrm{cm}^2$. The sample substituted with safflower oil showed the lowest fat leakage degree but the sample substituted with butter had the highest fat leakage degree. The sample substituted with butter had the lowest hardness. There was no significant difference in the elasticity between the samples tested. The sample substituted with butter showed the lowest value in adhesiveness, cohesiveness, brittleness and gumminess, respectively. The preference score of the processed cheese samples ranged from 3.22 to 6.59. The texture score ranged from 3.12 to 3.26.

This study was conducted to aerermine the sensory evaluation and the texture characteristics after making greentea Sulgidduk and Julpyun added to greentea powder in according to concentration which has nutritive value and medical effect of white Sulgidduk and Julpyun traditional dduk. Greentea Julpyun was better evaluated than Sulgidduk in color, flavor, hardness, chewiness and overall quality as the result of the sensory evaluation. In the whole sensory Julpyun was highly evaluated at the 3% of concentration of greentea powder but Sulgidduk was highly evaluated at 7% as the concentration of the greentea powder was getting stronger and stronger. In case of texture analysis hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness of greentea Julpyun were getting lower by increase of concentration of greentea powder. The hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness of greentea Sulgidduk were lower by increase of concentration of greentea too. As the result of the measurement with texture analyser, Sulgidduk was lower than greentea Julpyun in the hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness. As the result of the values of Hunter color system, the lightness and redness of greentea Julpyun were the lowest when nothing was added. The lightness and redness of greentea Sulgidduk were the highest in nothing added group. The yellowness was the highest at 3% of added greentea amount The resuts of correlation between the sensory properties and texture properties of greentea Julpyun showed that flavor described the lightness of measurement through texture and negative correlation, yellowness described positive correlation.

This study investigated the degree to which instrumental measurements explain the variation in pork loin tenderness as assessed by the sensory evaluation of trained panelists. Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBS) had a significant relationship with the sensory tenderness variables, such as softness, initial tenderness, chewiness, and rate of breakdown. In a regression analysis, WBS could account variations in these sensory variables, though only to a limited proportion of variation. On the other hand, three parameters from texture profile analysis (TPA)-hardness, gumminess, and chewiness-were significantly correlated with all sensory evaluation variables. In particular, from the result of stepwise regression analysis, TPA hardness alone explained over 15% of variation in all sensory evaluation variables, with the exception of perceptible residue. Based on these results, TPA analysis was found to be better than WBS measurement, with the TPA parameter hardness likely to prove particularly useful, in terms of predicting pork loin tenderness as rated by trained panelists. However, sensory evaluation should be conducted to investigate practical pork tenderness perceived by consumer, because both instrumental measurements could explain only a small portion (less than 20%) of the variability in sensory evaluation.

Nickel-iron nanocrystalline alloys with different compositions and grain sizes were fabricated by electro-plating for MEMS devices. The iron content of the deposits was changed by varying the nickel/iron ion ratio in the electrolyte. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was applied for measuring the strength of the texture and grain size of the deposits. The nickel/iron atom ratio of the deposits was analyzed by EDS. The hardness of the alloys was evaluated by Vickers hardness indenter. The internal stress of the deposits was measured by Thin Film Stress Measurement using Stoney's formula. Surface morphology and roughness were investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The results of this study revealed that at a grain size of approximately $17\~24$nm the hardness, internal stress and roughness depend strongly on the iron content. With increasing the iron content, the hardness and internal stress of the deposits increased. An excellent correlation between the increase in the internal stress and the loss of (200) texture was found.

To elucidate the effects of food texture such as hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness on mastication procedure, the electromyographic activity (EMG) of the masticatory muscles and the chewing movements were analyzed in eighteen young subjects during ordinary chewing. Seven different foods were selected by sensory texture profiling and mechanical test with texturometer; egg white, sausage, pizza cheese, yang-geng, biscuit, peanut and almond. The indexes of jaw movements used were the chewing number, chewing time, maximum opening, average opening, closing velocity and opening velocity. The EMG indexes analyzed were maximum and average integrated amplitude of the anterior temporal and masseter muscles. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The chewing time and chewing number, mandibular displacement and mandibular movement velocity were not changed by the hardness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness of the food (p>0.05). 2. The harder food materials showed a higher amplitude of the anterior temporal muscle integrated EMGs than the softer ones (p<0.05). 3. The maximum and average integrated EMGs of the masseter muscle increased with the increase of hardness of the food (p<0.05). 4. The integrated EMGs of preferred side and non-preferred side masticatory muscles increased with the increase of hardness of the food (p<0.05). 5. The adhesiveness and cohesiveness of the food were not the determining factor to the integrated EMGs of masticatory muscles (p<0.05).

A novel branched wax has been developed for the control of the hardness of oil-wax gels. Using this wax, glossier application and smoother texture but tough lipstick can be obtained. Oil-wax gels are oily solids composed of liquid and crystalline solid oils (waxes). They are widely used in various cosmetic products, especially lipsticks. The control of gel hardness is one of the most important techniques in improvement of the lipstick quality. Addition of small amounts of commercial branched paraffin wax (e.g. microcrystalline wax, b-PW) to n-paraffin wax (n-PW) has been commonly used to increase gel hardness. However, gel hardness is very sensitive to the quantity of b-PW and the gel obtained is not always hard enough for practical use. In this study we examined the relationship between the gel hardness and the properties of the wax crystal in the gel. We have found that, when b-PW is added to n-PW, the wax crystal size becomes smaller (hardening the gels) and its crystallinity is decreased (softening the gels) simultaneously. Considering this result, we have developed a novel branched wax, Bis(polyethylenyl)- tetramethyldisiloxane (named ESE). ESE molecules are composed of a central tetramethyldisiloxane unit (branch unit) with polyethylene units at both ends. The central unit may suppress crystal growth while the ends are expected to prevent a decrease in wax crystallinity during crystallization. When ESE is added to n-PW, the wax crystal obtained becomes smaller without decreasing in crystallinity; consequently, the gel hardness is dramatically increased. By using ESE, the total amount of wax in a lipstick can be decreased by 30％ without spoiling the stick toughness, thereby achieving glossy application and smooth texture.

The objective of this study was to evaluate quality properties, including amylopectin content, and texture analysis of brown rice and germinated brown rice cultivars in Korea for rice processing products. The amylopectin short chain content of germinated brown rice was significantly higher than that of brown rice. Texture analysis test showed that germinated brown rice Jinbo had the lowest hardness and toughness as well as and highest stickiness and adhesiveness. The correlation between degree of polymerization of amylopectin and texture analysis was also evaluated. In particular, germinated brown rice, short-chain amylopectin showed a negative correlation with hardness and toughness, whereas long-chain amylopectin showed a positive correlation with hardness, toughness, and adhesiveness. These results indicate that there is a relationship between degree of polymerization and texture analysis.

In this study, Sulgidduk samples were prepared with 0%, 3%, 5% and 7% yacon powder. Sulgidduk samples were then examined for quality characteristics such as moisture content, general components, color, texture profile analysis, sensory qualities, and sugar content, in order to determine the optimal ratio of yacon powder in the formulation. Regarding the general components of yacon Sulgidduk, the contents of crude protein and lipid decreased as the ratio of yacon powder increased. The L-value for color decreased, whereas a- and b-values increased. In the texture profile analysis, 7%-added yacon showed significantly lower hardness, whereas 7% yacon powder showed the highest values for cohesiveness, springiness, and chewiness. The contents of sucrose, fructose, and glucose in yacon Sulgidduk were found to be 3%, 5%, and 7% by LC, respectively. Sucrose showed a decreasing trend with increased yacon powder content, but fructose and glucose increased with increased amount of yacon powder. For sensory qualities, taste/flavor, texture, hardness, and overall acceptability were not significantly different among the 0%, 3%, and 5% yacon powder samples.
