This study identified the sensory properties of samples of pizza dough at three pizza companies and three masonry oven pizzerias from Seoul, Korea and compared consumer acceptability among panels of university students. Six pizza dough samples were prepared (pan pizzas from Pizza Hut, Mr.pizza, and Dominos pizza, masonry oven baked pizzas from Appleteen, Mr.Lee's, and Pizza factory). Consumer tests were employed involving 97 Korean consumers. Consumers evaluated overall liking (OL), liking of appearance (APPL), odor (ODL), flavor (FLL), and texture (TXTL), willing to try (WT), and willing to recommend (WR) for the samples using a nine-point hedonic scale. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that HutP, MrP, and DomP samples had significantly (p<0.05) high scores for roughness, porosity, crust color, grain size, brownness, dairy food aroma, savory taste, and yeast aroma, which had the highest OL, ODL, and FLL scores. LeeP, ATeenP, and PFacP samples had high elasticity, cohesiveness, and adhesiveness. Consumers favored the appearance characteristics and color, dairy product flavor, and savory flavor of the pan pizza and preferred cohesiveness, toughness, and stickiness of masonry oven baked pizza.

In order to develop a novel yeast which produces the charateristic aroma of soy sauce, a protoplast fusion between Zygosaccharomyces rouxii WFS4 and Torulopsis versatilis IAM 4993 was carried out. Auxotrophic mutants as selective markers were obtained from Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Torulopsis versatilis by treatment of N-methyl-N -nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. The conditions of the protoplast formation and the regeneration for fusion were examined. The protoplast fusion using polyethylene glycol 4000 led to the fusion frequency of $4~5{\times}10^{-7}\;cells/ml$. Among fusants, a fusant ST723-F31 presented the best results in terms of the aromaticity of fragrance, the growth pattern, the resistance against salt and the degree of growth according to pH. It makes easy to control the production and the balance of aroma components so that it gives a good flavor, shortens the fermentation period and, simplifies the preparation process when using a bioreactor into which fusant is immobilized.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of yeast breads with addition of hot air-dried yam powder (HDYP) and freeze-dried yam powder (FDYP), using several physical and sensory examinations. Breads were made of imported wheat flour (IWF) or Korean wheat flour (KWF). HDPY and FDYP were added to the bread formula at three levels of 3, 5, and 7%. The addition of yam powders required an increase of water absorption. As the addition of HDYP/FDYP increased, IWF dough stickiness increased and thus handling property became inferior to the control. Especially, handling property of KWF bread dough containing FDYP was most poor among the dough samples. With HDYP/FDYP, final volumes of bread made from IWF were similar to the control when 3~5% HDYPs were added whereas loaf volumes decreased significantly as the amount of added FDYP increased, indicating volume depressing effect. In bread scoring, texture scores increased when yam powders were added that hardness, chewiness, cohesiveness and guminess of KWF bread increased as the amounts of yam powders increased. The "L" value of IWF bread crumb decreased with the addition of yam powders. From sensory evaluation using acceptability scores, the results gave us that appearance, grain, texture, flavor, taste and overall acceptability of KWF bread could be more improved with the addition of yam powders than those of IWF bread.IWF bread.

This study was conducted to determine optimum levels of ingredients including yeast autolyzate, first for the beef flavored soup base and then for the soy paste stew mix as a final product. Response surface methodology was used for the optimization. Beef flavored soup base with optimum sensory characteristics could be prepared with 8g/l yeast autolyzate, 0.8g/l nucleotide seasoning, and 0.09g/l succinic acid. And soy paste stew mix could be produced with 8g/l beef flavored soup base, 28g/l soy paste powder, and 16g/l corn starch. Soy paste stew prepared with optimum levels of ingredients were comparable in acceptability to that with commercial product containing beef extracts. It was suggested that sufficient beef flavor could be obtained with yeast autolyzate in such products as soy paste stew mix.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the quality characteristics of baguette with different amounts of yeast and fermented rice bran sourdough(Control: Yeast 30 g + Fermented rice bran sourdough 0 g, A sample: Yeast 20 g + Fermented rice bran sourdough 150 g, B sample: Yeast 10 g + Fermented rice bran sourdough 300 g, C sample: Yeast 0 g + Fermented rice bran sourdough 450 g). The pH of fermented rice bran sourdough by fermentation time was decreased as the fermentation time was longer. The pH of baguette dough was decreased as the fermented rice bran sourdough increased; the volume was the highest in control at the 1st fermentation, and in the B sample at the 2nd fermentation. The weight of baguette was the highest in the C sample, and the volume and specific volume were the highest in the B sample. The microstructure of the cross section analysis indicated that the air cell of baguette crumb was large and regular in the B sample. The moisture content and water binding capacity were the highest in the B sample, although significantly different. The L value was decreased as there was an increasing addition ratio of fermented rice bran sourdough; further, the a and b values were decreased with an increase in baguette volume. Hardness, gumminess and chewiness were decreased as volume and specific volume were increased; yet, springiness was increased. According to the result of the sensory evaluation, the flavor, taste, appearance and texture were the highest in the B sample.

The yeast strains used for fermentation are known to influence the qualities of wine. We investigated the effects of fermentation using different yeast strains on the properties of wine produced from 'Hayward' kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa). The physicochemical characteristics of wine produced using various yeast strains for fermentation were also analyzed. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Gervin No.5 strain (GVN), S. bayanus Lavin strain EC1118 (EC1118), and S. cerevisiae Red star Davis No. 796 (No.796) are commercial dry yeast strains selected for optimization of fermentation. Although the soluble solid contents of samples fermented by all three yeast strains decreased by a similar extent, the levels of alcohol production differed, particularly during the first week of fermentation. Use of the GVN strain resulted in the highest alcohol concentration (13.8%, v/v), whereas fermentation with No.796 and EC1118 strains yielded alcohol contents of 13.0% and 12.5% (both v/v), respectively. Upon sensory evaluation, GVN-fermented wine had a strong taste and bitterness, with high acid and alcohol contents. Wine fermented using No.796 had a chemical profile similar to that of GVN-fermented product, but the taste remained sweet, consistent with the lower alcohol content. EC1118-fermented wine was soft and sweet in taste, high in flavor, and had a low alcohol content. Total phenolic levels and antioxidant activities in wine fermented by EC1118 were significantly higher than in wines prepared using No.796 or GVN. When previously described characteristics were additionally considered, EC1118 was selected as an optimum strain for further study. In conclusion, fermentation of kiwifruit using different yeast strains yielded wines with distinct characteristics. The yeast strain EC1118 had the most desirable properties, and is considered suitable for kiwifruit fermentation. Valuable attributes of wine fermented by this yeast include overall sensory acceptance, an appropriate level of total phenolics, and good antioxidant activity.

Persimmon contains high levels of vitamins and phenolic compounds, as well as soluble solids, necessary for the fermentation of persimmon wine. Co-fermentation of persimmon wine was carried out using a mixed culture of Pichia anomala JK04, a Korean indigenous yeast that improves wine quality and flavor, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Fermivin, an industrial wine yeast, in the following ratios: 9:1 (v/v), 5:5 (v/v), 1:9 (v/v) and 0:10 (v/v). During fermentation, the alcohol contents increased more slowly in samples of mixed culture than in samples of the single culture of S. cerevisiae Fermivin. The alcohol contents of all samples reached 12~13% (v/v) after 15 days. All samples of the mixed culture showed greater variety in flavor and taste than S. cerevisiae Fermivin only. In the sensory evaluation, mixed culture samples had higher scores in terms of flavor and overall preference than the single culture samples. Therefore, P. anomala JK04 is thought to improve the wine flavor of Korean domestic persimmon wine.

Physicochemical quality characteristics of seed mashes were investigated for development of new creative breadmaking in bakery. Aridity of seed mashes fermented with Koji, lactic acid bacteria, and baker's yeast was slightly lower than those fermented with Koji and yeast. ${\alpha}-Amylase$, saccharifying amylase, and acidic protease activities of seed mash composed of water (560 mL) and Koji (400 g) were 0.26 SKB, 36 SP, and 645 HUT/g, respectively. Reducing sugar content of seed mash made with Koji increased up to 13.04% after 36 hr fermentation, then decreased drastically thereafter, whereas that of seed mashes made with Koji, yeast, and lactic acid bacteria increased up to 6.5% at 6 hr, decreased to 1 to 2.5% at 12 hr, and remained less than 0.7% after 18 hr fermentation. Total organic acid contents were 10.4-12.25mg/mL. Flavor compounds including ethyl acetate, ethyl caprylate, isoamyl acetate, and p-vinyl guaiacol were detected in seed mash fermented with Koji, yeast, and L. brevis. These results show use of seed mash fermented with Koji, S. cerevisiae, and lactic acid bacteria enhances bread flavor.

The aim of this study was to select yeast strain for quality optimization of distilled spirit which is prepared using rice. Five yeasts strains were compared for their brewing characteristics and showed normal fermentation pattern, but songcheon yeast(Y1) and distillery yeast(Y5) revealed higher fermentation ability than other samples tested. The analyzed results of fermented mashing showed that the distillery yeasts(Y4, Y5) had significantly much higher alcohol content, and songcheon yeast(Y1), distillery yeasts(Y4, Y5) had significantly higher ester content than other samples tested respectively, while the distillery yeasts(Y3, Y4, Y5) had significantly higher organic acid content than other samples tested. The analyzed results of distilled spirits which were distilled using copper distillery apparatus showed that the songcheon yeast(Y1) and distillery yeast(Y5) had a higher yield compared to other samples tested. In addition, the results of the aroma compounds such as ester and higher alcohol of distilled spirits among the five yeasts tested were similar to the analyzed results of fermented mashing. Siha aktivhefe 6 brennereihefe(Y5) indicated the highest overall preference including sensory evaluation and was selected as best yeast strain for quality optimization of distilled spirit which is prepared using rice.
