In our previous report (Korean J. Food Sci. and Technol., 9, 123, 1977) we have studied the functional properties of soy protein isolates prepared from defatted soybean meal. For the practical application of the data described, beef patties substituted with SPI, and imitatied ice cream were prepared and sensory evaluations were carried out. The sensory analyses indicated that the beef patties substituted with gelated SPI to 30% have no detectable difference to the control at the significant level of 0.01. The imitation of ice cream whose milk-solid-not-fat was substituted with soy protein isolates showed the same texture as the control. Flavor of ice cream, however, has significant difference to the control due to beany-off flavor. Therefore removal of beany-off flavor is required for the substitution in ice cream.

In this study, domestic wheat flour was used to develop a native sourdough suitable for the Korean environment, in an attempt to replace the sourdough starter that are currently available in local markets and used to prepare sourdough breads. Nine kinds of domestic wheat flour (available at local market) were examined and to characterized according to their general ingredients, gluten contents, colorimetry data and mixograph measurement. In addition, the flour were used to make sourdough starters that were assessed for pH, TTA, and fermentation rate from which an optimal sourdough starter could be chosen. This study also compared the product characteristics breads prepared from the with one another by adding extracted sourdough starters. In order to analyze the quality characteristics of the breads, a comparative analysis was conducted through on data for dough fermentation rate, specific volume, texture analyses, colorimetry, water activity and sensory tests. According to the results, the sourdough starters KWF 3, KWF 4 and KWF 5 scored well in evaluations for gluten content, wheat flour characteristics and pH, and were deemed the most optimal starters. To characterize the sourdough breads prepared from KWF 3, KWF 4, and KWF 5, their quality characteristics were analyzed and then compared to those sourdough bread (control group) prepared using a sourdough starter made from imported wheat flour. According to the comparative analysis of the quality characteristics, KWF 4 had the largest volume and specific volume, but had the lowest textural hardness, indicating the softest texture of overall. According to sensory tests, the bread prepared from KWF 4 was significantly more preferred than the other specimens.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of Bokbunja pudding, using various levels of Bokbunja fruit juice (140, 150, and 130 g), Bokbunja Wine (10, 20, and 20 g), gelatin (18, 17, and 16 g) and sugar (250, 200, and 150 g). In order to establish the optimal added amounts, chemical composition, saccharinity, color, texture, and sensory evaluations were conducted, and the results of various cases were analyzed and assessed. The statistical data analyses were conducted using the SPSS program. The saccharinity of the Bokbunja pudding increased with increasing amountsof added sugar. Additionally, as the amount of added Gelatin was increased, the L values (lightness) of the Bokbunja pudding decreased. Conversely, the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values all decreased with decreasing levels of added gelatin and sugar. The optimal mixing condition for the Bokbunja pudding was determined via sensory evaluation. Sensory characteristics, including flavor, sweetness, texture, and overall acceptability, were highest in the type C product. The chemical composition of the type C product was as follows: moisture 71.47%, carbohydrate 24.70%, crude protein 3.83%, crude fat 0.001%, and crude ash 0.001%. According to our results, the optimum mixing ratio for the most satisfactory sensory characteristics of Bokbunja was as follows: Bokbunja fruit juice 130 g, Bokbunja Wine 20 g, Gelatin 16 g, Sugar 150 g, Bokbunja Flavor 0.3 g, and Water 400 g.

Woody breast (WB) is one of muscle myopathy found in chicken breast, characterized with enlarged size and extremely stiff texture. The WB condition is one of the most prevalent quality issues in the modern poultry industry. WB has been shown to be heritable, but no effective detection method of WB severity in live birds exists for the selection purpose. The objective of this study was to determine potential of a non-invasive, portable digital palpation device as WB detection method that can be used for the selection to estimate the heritability of WB. The physical and functional properties of WB was also investigated in comparison with normal breast (NB). Two hundred ten breast muscles were obtained from a local processing plant one day after harvest and sorted based on WB scoring (1 for NB and 2 and 3 for WB). The samples were subjected to physical and physicochemical analyses, determining biomechanical properties (muscle tone, stiffness, elasticity, relaxation, and creep), pH, color, cooking yield, and texture (firmness and compression energy were used for raw meat and shear force and energy for cooked meat). The least squares means of the following variables were significantly different between WB and NB (p < 0.01): stiffness (603.4 vs 565.8; N/m), and elasticity (1.40 vs 1.55). However, relaxation and creep were not significantly different (p > 0.05). These results collectively showed that biomechanical properties of WB differ from NB. The degree of muscle stiffness in WB can be considered as a trait to be selected. The WB score showed strong negative correlations with cooking yield (-0.77) and cooked L^*(-0.74), which means that as the breast becomes harder, the cooking yield decreases, and the color becomes darker after cooking. The WB score showed high correlations with physical and functional characteristics and exhibited strong correlations with the biomechanical properties measured by the device. Therefore, the results indicated that the digital palpation device has potential to detect the WB severity (degree of stiffness) of breast muscle.

Alternative protein sources with greater nutritional value and a lower environmental footprint have recently attracted interest in the production of meat substitutes. However, it is required that these alternatives mimic the texture and structure of meat. This study investigated varying ratios of textured vegetable proteins (TVP) to Tenebrio molitor larvae (brown mealworm; TM) with the addition of transglutaminase (TG) to determine the quality characteristics of these emulsions. The results demonstrated low protein solubility of the emulsions as TVP content increased. Furthermore, when the proportion of TM was high, the TG-treated emulsion had a low pH. Additionally, when there was a high TM ratio to TVP in the TG treatment, the emulsions demonstrated better thermal stability and water holding capacity. Regarding the rheological properties of the emulsion, both the frequency-dependent storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G'') increased as the proportion of TVP in the emulsion increased with and without the addition of TG. Differential scanning calorimetry analyses demonstrated two protein denaturation peaks in all treatments, with high peak temperatures for both treatments with a high proportion of TM. The hardness and chewiness of the emulsion were highest in the treatment (T6 and T8) with TG, and the gumminess of the emulsion was greatest when TM only or when equal ratios of TVP and TM were treated with TG, respectively. In conclusion, the addition of TM to TVP with TG improves the overall texture of the protein mixture, making it a suitable meat alternative.

This study prepared steamed eggs at various ratios of yolk and white in packaged liquid eggs to investigate the quality characteristics of steamed eggs through sensory tests and analyses of water content, color, pH and texture profiles. The results are expected to be used in developing steamed egg products and preparing processed egg dishes. Moisture contents of steamed egg samples increased with increased percentage of egg white. Hunter color values of L(lightness) also increased with increased percentage of egg white, while a(redness) and b(yellowness) decreased. Moreover, pH increased with increased percentage of egg white. Texture profile analyses in hardness, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, and cohesiveness decreased significantly with increased percentage of white, but adhesiveness was not significantly different. As the results of sensory test, yellowness increased with increased percentage of yolk. Roasted nutty smell was highest in the steamed egg sample prepared with 250g yolk and 200g white, and fishy smell increased and boiled egg smell decreased with increased percentage of white. Roasted nutty taste and fishy taste increased with increased percentage of white. In contrast with brittleness, hardness, springiness, and chewiness decreased with increased percentage of egg white. The acceptance score was high in the steamed egg samples prepared with a ratio of egg yolk 250/egg white 200 or egg yolk 150/egg white 300.

Abstract Alloying elements such as AI, Ti, Nb and B in the extra low carbon AI-killed steel precipitate as nitrides or carbides and change the recrystallization texture structure of the steel during heattreatment with the result of strong effects on the deep drawability of the steel sheet. In this study the effects of fine precipitates such as nitrides and carbides on the texture of extra low carbon steels into which Ti, Nb, B, P, Si and Mn were added as alloying elements were investigated by means of TEM, SEM and optical microscopic analyses. Fine N$b_2$C and T$i_2$AIN precipitates are mainly observed in the steel containing both Nb and Ti, while fine AIN and coarse BN precipitates are observed in the Nb~containing steel and coarse T${i_4}{N_3}$ and ${N_10}{N_22}$/T$i_68$ precipitates are observed in the Ti-containing steel. The grain size of the Ti containing steel is larger than that of the Nb containing steel and that of the one containing both Nb and Ti.

Purpose : This study was performed to evaluate possible variations in maxillary and mandibular bone texture of normal population using the fractal analysis, particles count, and area fraction in intraoral radiographs. Materials and Methods : Periapical radiographs of patients who had full mouth intraoral radiographs were collected. Regions of interest ($100{\times}100$ pixels) were located between the teeth of the maxillary anterior, premolar, and molar area, as well as the mandibular anterior, premolar, and molar areas. The fractal dimension (FD) was calculated by using the box counting method. The particle count (PC) and area fraction (AF) analyses were also performed. Results : There was no significant difference in the FD values among the different groups of age, gender, upper, and lower jaws. The mean FD value was $1.49{\pm}0.01$. The mean PC ranged from 44 to 54, and the mean AF ranged from 10.92 to 11.85. The values of FD, PC, and AF were significantly correlated with each other except for the upper molar area. Conclusion : According to the results, patients with normal trabecular pattern showed a FD of approximately 1.5. Based on these results, further investigation would be recommended if the FD value of patient significantly differenct from this number, since the alteration of this value indicates microstructural modification of trabecular pattern of the jaws. Additionally, with periapical radiographs, simple and cost-effective, PC and AF could be used to assess the deviation from the normal.
