This study was conducted to investigate quality characteristics of Aster scaber to increase the value of functional food resources. To examine quality characteristics of Aster scaber, various factors such as color, texture, fiber, minerals, tannin, crude proteins, crude lipids and sensory quality were determined using physiochemical methods. The contents of dietary fiber were 0.68 g in each 100 g of Aster scaber (freeze drying base). In mineral contents, iron was the highest value in Aster scaber (freeze drying base). The contents of tannin were 35.6 ppm of Aster scaber (fresh base). Aster scaber was shown significant difference in tannin from freeze drying leaf. From the results of sensory evaluation, the age of 30's and 40's showed a better acceptability in blanching. Functional healthy drinks were made from extracts of Aster scaber for relieving thirst and promoting health. The recipe of drinks were decided to establish manufacture condition through the sensory evaluation, color, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability. The shelf-life was established in 18 months through quality was analyzed such as soluble solids, optical density 480, pH, acidity and microorganisms.

This study was performed to examine the optimum addition amount of saltwort(Salicornia herbacea L.) powder to rice flour in the preparation of saltwort Sulgidduk. Saltwort powder was added to rice powder at ratios of 5, 10, 15 and 20%(w/w). The moisture contents of Sulgidduk were increased with the addition of saltwort powder. The pH contents of Sulgidduk were decreased with the addition of saltwort powder. The incorporation of saltwort powder in Sulgidduk lowered the lightness but increased the redness values. Mineral contents of Sulgidduk were increased with the addition of saltwort powder. The hardness and brittleness were decreased, whereas cohesiveness was increased with the addition of saltwort powder. In the sensory evaluation of saltwort Sulgidduk, the acceptance of flavor, taste, chewiness and overall acceptability characteristics was the highest at the 5% level. Saltwort Sulgidduk, with the addition of 5% of saltwort powder to rice flour was found to be the best recipe in terms of the sensory qualities.

This paper shows a multiplexing technique to maximize the application of a moire-fringe based fiber optic sensor to lots of structure. Especially, a novel fringe-based fiber optic sensor was proposed to overcome the difficulty of multiplexing of a previous moire-fringe-based fiber optic sensor. The novel fringe-based fiber optic sensor is composed of a single reflective fringe and two optical fibers. Therefore, the multiplexing is easily realized because of the simplicity of optic structure inside the sensor. This paper also proposed four models of the multiplexing techniques. The models are based on a wavelength division multiplexing(WDM) technique and a time division multiplexing(TDM) one. Basically, the models would be profitable for a general extrinsic fiber optic sensor such as the fringe-based fiber optic sensor. Finally, the real optic system was manufactured by using the proposed model and successfully examined to prove the feasibility of the model for the application.

Green tea extract(GTE) was added to pall bread, prepared by the straight-dough method, and its effects on shelf-life(moisture, pH, titratable acidity, antimicrobial activity) and sensory quality of pan bread were evaluated. The results of those characteristics for staling indicated that quality of pan bread was significantly extended by addition of GTE. Growth of microorganisms was significantly inhibited by adding GTE to pan bread, and sensory quality on pan bread added GTE was no significant differ in color, flavour, hardness, chewiness and overall-quality than that of control group(0% GTE). These results suggest that the shelf- life of pan bread was extended by GTE.

This study aims to examine the quality characteristics of mackerel marinaded with different amounts of dry rosemary extract as there is increasingly higher interest in functional food. The changes of pH were appropriate for the quality characteristics of the product, and hardness and color difference were suitable for quality of mackerel. According to salimetry, it was found that mackerel marinaded with dry rosemary extract had lower salt content than that of traditional Andong mackerel; therefore, salt consumption could be reduced by adding dry rosemary extract. Moreover, mackerel marinaded with dry rosemary extract made its storage period much longer. As the reference test showed that R 2 got the best taste and overall acceptance, the optimum addition was found to be 2% of dry rosemary extract.

This study was conducted to prolong the edible period of Kimchi by adding high molecular chitosan(MW 800,000) and the product was evaluated for acid production(pH, titratable acidity), number of total viable cell, lactic acid bacteria, coli-form bacteria and sensory property during Kimchi fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$. Kimchi added with the chitosan showed a retarded decrease in pH and increase in titratable acidity. Total microbial count and lactic acid bacteria of Kimchi added with chitosan(0.3%) were about 1.3 log(cfu/g) lower than those of control throughout the fermentation of 6 to 9 days. After 15 days of fermentation, coliform bacteria of all control and samples were decreased as 1.6∼2.3 log (cfu/g) level. Kimchi samples which were added with 0.1 % chitosan and fermented at 10$^{\circ}C$ for 6 days showed not only effective in prolonging the edible periods but also better sensory scores in acceptability.

Stycla claca (SC, miduduk in Korean) and Stycla plicata (SP, omangdungi in Korean) have been consumed as one of the most tasty seafoods in the southern coast of Korea. Liquors were prepared by soaking SC (whole, tunic, or flesh part) and SP (whole) in soju (alcohol content 30%) for 4 months, and then the characteristics were evaluated. Alcohol contents of the liquors decreased with increasing amounts of SC and SP. Antioxidant activities revealed by a radical scavenging activity showed that SC, especially flesh part, exhibited higher activity than SP in the liquors. Increasing the amount of SC and SP in liquors tended to decrease lightness and redness while increasing yellowness. In a sensory test, there was no significant difference between the liquors.

The accuracy of rectal palpation and ultrasonography for predicting the presence of a functional corpus luteum in subestrous dairy cows was investigated, using the result of a radioimmunoassay for progesterone in plasma. Luteal status (high or low progesterone concentrations) was diagnosed in 820 cows, using rectal palpation and B-mode transrectal ultrasonography, and the results of rectal palpation and ultrasonography were compared in $2{\times}2$ contingency table with plasma progesterone concentrations. A $2{\times}2$ contingency table analysis allowed the calculation of sensitivity, specificity and predictive values for rectal palpation and ultrasonography. The sensitivity, specificity, predictive value of a positive test and predictive value of a negative test were 81.9%, 67.5%, 79.0% and 71.4% for rectal palpation, and 96.3%, 88.8%, 94.5% and 92.4% for ultrasonography, respectively. The percentages of observed agreement and expected agreement between rectal palpation and ultrasonography were 71.8% and 57.1%, respectively. An evaluation of agreement between rectal palpation and ultrasonography, the value of Kappa was 0.34. It was concluded that a ultrasonography was more sensitive and specific than rectal palpation in predicting the presence of a functional corpus luteum. Therefore, ultrasonographic examination is a reliable method for assessing the functional status of ovarian structures in subestrous dairy cows.

This study investigated the effect of roasted rice bran (RRB) on bread quality. Bread containing RRB showed small and specific loaf volumes. Baking and cooling loss rates of bread with RRB were lower than bread without RRB. The pH of bread decreased and total titratable acidity increased with increase in the amount of RRB. Water activity (Aw) and moisture contents of bread increased with RRB levels in bread. Bread containing RRB presented lower L value and higher redness (a) and yellowness (b) values. Crumb hardness, springiness, and gumminess increased, whereas cohesiveness decreased upon addition of RRB. Addition of 5% RRB resulted in higher scores in sensory evaluation than the control, however, bread with 15% RRB had the lowest score. Therefore, 5% RRB can be used in bread production.

This study was conducted to promote the use of fish paste with shrimp powder as a food. The tested shrimp powder concentrations were 0, 3, 5, and 7%. The pH of the samples ranged from 6.80 to 6.95, and their moisture contents ranged from 70.15 to 70.75%. Their L values decreased as their concentrations increased, and their a and b values increased. The folding test for all the test samples showed AA, which indicates good flexibility. In the texture meter test, the hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness increased when the shrimp powder concentration increased. The gumminess and brittleness of the fish paste was reduced, however, with the addition of shrimp powder. In the sensory evaluation, the fish paste prepared with 5% shrimp powder were preferred most. These results suggest that shrimp powder can be applied to fish paste to achieve high quality and functionality.
