Physicochemical characteristics of chicken-thigh emulsion manufactured with different concentrations of NaCl (0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, and 1.5%) were examined. Moisture and ash contents of samples containing 1.2% and 1.5% NaCl were significantly higher than those of the other samples (p<0.05). Protein contents decreased with increasing NaCl concentration. The pH values of batters significantly decreased with increasing NaCl concentration (p<0.05). The lightness values of uncooked and cooked samples showed an upward trend with increasing concentration of NaCl. Redness and yellowness values of uncooked batters containing 1.2% and 1.5% NaCl were significantly lower than other samples (p<0.05). The cooking yield and viscosity of the samples increased with increasing NaCl concentration. Samples containing 1.2% and 1.5% NaCl showed higher viscosities than the controls and samples containing 0.3-0.9% NaCl. Therefore, it can be concluded that addition 1.2% NaCl in chicken thigh products is beneficial.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of NaCl concentration on the physicochemical properties of pork emulsion. Pork emulsion was produced containing 0% (control), 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, 1.2%, and 1.5% NaCl. Proximate composition of pork emulsion containing 1.5% NaCl showed the highest moisture content (P<0.05). The ash contents of pork emulsion increased with an increase in NaCl, and protein contents decreased with increasing NaCl concentration. The pH levels of uncooked pork emulsion containing 0.9%, 1.2%, and 1.5% NaCl were lower than those of other treatments (P<0.05), and the pH level of cooked pork emulsion containing NaCl was lower than that of the control (P<0.05). The CIE $L^*$ value of the uncooked pork emulsion samples containing NaCl was higher than that of the control (P<0.05), whereas CIE $a^*$ and CIE $b^*$ values of samples with NaCl were lower than the control (P<0.05). CIE $L^*$ and CIE $b^*$ values of cooked pork emulsion decreased with an increase in NaCl level, and CIE $a^*$ value increased with increasing NaCl concentration (P<0.05). Viscosity of the pork emulsion increased with an increase in NaCl. Texture profile analysis of pork emulsion containing NaCl showed no significant difference in springiness or cohesiveness (P>0.05). Pork emulsion containing 1.5% NaCl showed the highest hardness, gumminess, and chewiness (P<0.05). These results suggest that pork emulsion containing 0.9% and 1.2% NaCl can be used as a low-salt meat product.

In order to increase the use of rice, ginseng Garaedduks and Topokki were made and the physicochemical and sensory properties were investigated. Topokki and Garaedduks were added with 0, 1, 3 and 5% ginseng powder and stored at $20^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours. The moisture contents were not different to the increasing amount of ginseng powder and increasing storage time for 48 hours. The moisture content of Garaedduks for control and 5% added ginseng powder were 48.08% and 49.62%, respectively. The L value in color of uncooked ginseng Garaedduk decreased according to the added amount of ginseng powder, and the b value in color increased significantly according to the added amount of ginseng powder and during 48 hours storage at $20^{\circ}C$. Textural analysis, measured using a texture analyzer, of Garaedduk revealed that hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness decreased significantly and adhesiveness increased according to the added amount of ginseng powder. In sensory evaluation, 5% ginseng Garaedduk (uncooked, cooked) scored higher in overall acceptability than those of the other samples. In cooking properties, water absorption and solid contents increased according to the added amount of ginseng powder. Therefore, Garaedduk containing 5% ginseng powder was the most preferable. These results implied that the degree of retrogradation of ginseng Garaedduk might be low due to its high dietary fiber content.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of red pepper seed powder addition on the chemical compositions, cooking characteristics, and sensory properties of tteokgalbi. Tteokgalbi was prepared by addition of 0% (control), 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% red pepper seed powder. The moisture and ash contents of samples increased with increased content of red pepper seed powder. In addition, the pH value, CIE $a^*$ value, and CIE $b^*$ value of uncooked and cooked samples increased with higher content of red pepper seed powder. However, cooking loss, diameter reduction, and thickness reduction of samples decreased with increasing content of red pepper seed powder. The hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of samples increased with higher content of red pepper seed powder, and the sensory evaluation of tteokgalbi containing 3% red pepper seed powder was the highest. Therefore, usages of red pepper seed powder can improve quality characteristics of tteokgalbi.

The objectives of this study were to develope the uncooked-restructured belly (URB) and the processed-restructured bacon (PRB) using a protein-emulsion material (PEM) from pork, and to evaluate the quality characteristics of the URB and PRB. The PEM used to adhere muscle and fat tissues was prepared with a salt-soluble protein and emulsions (ratio 9:1). In color measurements, L$\^$*/, a$\^$*/ and b$\^$*/ values were significantly (p＜0.05) higher in URB than PRB. There was no significant difference in L$\^$*/ value between PRB from fresh pork and PRB from thaw pork PRB showed significantly (p＜0.05) higher water holding capacity compared to URB. Tensil strength of PRB was also significantly (p＜0.05) higher than that of URB. However, PRB from thawed pork marked the lowest color score among restructured meats in sensory evaluation. The scores of juiciness and tenderness were significantly (p＜0.05) Higher in URB compared to PRB. Consequently URB had significantly (p.＜0.05) higher score of overall acceptability than PRB. These results suggested that URB made with PEM could have a better sensory characteristics compared to PRB. Results also suggested that the PEM would not be enough to adhere fresh muscle and fat tissues as much as PRB, even though the possibility of PEM was confirmed as a meat glue.

The effects of Ge-Geol radish powder on the physical and sensory properties of wet noodles were investigated by adding 4-16% Ge-Geol radish powder based on the flour source. The Ge-Geol radish powder additions significantly increased the redness of the uncooked and cooked noodles. For the texture profile analysis (TPA) of the wet noodles with added Ge-Geol radish powder, hardness, adhesiveness and resilience decreased, whereas chewiness increased. Changes in the volume and weight of the cooked noodles were not significantly different according to Ge-Geol radish powder concentration, but the turbidities of the soup increased. In sensory test, overall acceptability was significantly higher for the noodles with added Ge-Geol radish powder of concentrations between 4-8%. These samples had similar sensory texture properties as the control and had peculiar hot and cool tastes of the radish. Therefore, adding Ge-Geol radish powder at concentrations below 8% was good for making noodles that maintained a natural texture, and also gave an characteristic radish-like flavor to the noodles.

Due to a surplus of rice on the market, there has been a growing interest in developing better processed rice products, especially rice liquor or spirits which are popular and have a large market value. In this study, Takju was made with different varieties of rice and rice powder particle sizes, after which a taste survey was performed and measurements were taken on the characteristics of Takju including the temperature of the fermenting material, sugar content, alcohol content, acidity, amino acid types, colors, etc. The varieties of rice used in the study included Chucheong, Hiami and Anda. The temperature of the brew for each kind of Takju reached its highest point 48 hours after preparation. Differences among rice varieties were only apparent in the acidity and taste evaluations. The acidity was found to be highest with Anda, followed by Chuchoeng and Hiami. Chuchoeng had the highest taste evaluation scores. With regards to particle sizes, the alcohol content and acidity were found to be highest with coarse rice powder while ultra fine rice powder showed the highest fermenting temperature, sugar content, acidity, amino acid type, pH level, color and taste scores right after preparation. The results of this study suggest that among the kinds of Takju made from different rice varieties and particle sizes, the one made from Chucheong ultra fine rice powder is the most preferable over other variations.

Sulforphane (SF) is a family of biologically active compound that is distributed widely in broccoli. Although studies in rodents have shown that these compounds are effective and versatile inhibitors of tumorigenesis, the role of dietary SF in protection against human cancers remains to be established. The objective of this study was to explore the quantitative relationship between the dietary intake of cruciferous vegetables and urinary excretion of SF. The effects of dietary broccoli on the body's ability to detoxify were studied in six male subjects between the ages of 22~30 years. Study included administering a glucosinolate-free diet for 8 days (control period). The broccoli diet was further subdivided into two periods; 250 g broccoli was fed per day during the first three days and 500 g broccoli was fed per day during the latter three days. After an 8-day washout period, a second experiment was conducted. The same protocol was used with the exception that uncooked broccoli was consumed. Urinary SF mercapturate was measured to determine the bioavailability of broccoli. The linear trend for mercapturate excretion was dose-dependent, resulting in 3.8- and 1.9-fold increase by the third and six days, respectively, compared to the control. Lower amount of SF-NAC conjugate was detected in cooked broccoli compared to fresh broccoli suggesting cooking may have caused a significant loss in glucosinolates in cruciferous vegetables. Therefore, SF can be used as a biomarker for intake of cruciferous vegetables.

Quality properties of pork restructured jerky manufactured using various concentrations of black rice powder were examined. The moisture contents and pH of samples increased with an increase in concentration of black rice powder. On the other hand, the protein and fat contents of samples decreased with an increase in concentration of black rice powder. Lightness, redness, and yellowness values of uncooked and cooked samples showed a downward trend with an increase in concentration of black rice powder. Water holding capacity and cooking yield of the samples containing 3% and 5% black rice powder were higher than those of the control and 1% black rice powder samples (p<0.05). Samples containing 3% black rice powder showed a lower shear force than that of the control (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation of color, flavor, tenderness, and overall acceptability were enhanced with an increase in concentration of black rice powder. These results show that supplementation added with black rice powder in pork restructured jerky enhances its quality properties.

The potato tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. contain potato glycoalkaloids (PGA), a class of naturally occurring toxicants. The primary constituents of this class of compounds in potatoes are $\alpha$-chaconine and $\alpha$-solanine. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of various cooking methods on the PGA contents in the common Korean potato Irish Cobbler variety and those in commercially produced potato products consumed in Korea. After cooking, most potatoes showed big decreases in their PGA contents compared to the uncooked samples, with the exception of baked potatoes, which maintained 90.86％ of their PGA contents. The PGA levels in boiled and blanched potatoes were reduced by 91.68 and 84.17％, respectively. However, the levels in samples boiled in 1％ salted water were only reduced by 52.10％. Potatoes fried and sauteed in oil had their PGA contents reduced to 49.42 and 49.51％ of their original levels. The reductions in the relative PGA contents by cooking method were in the order boiling〉blanching〉boiling with 1％ NaCl〉steaming〉sauteing〉frying〉microwaving〉baking. The highest remaining PGA content of the potato products in Korea was in potato chips, at 69.57mg/100g, but made with imported potatoes.
