Effect of morphology and granule size of crystalline D-sorbitol on texture of sugar-free chewing gum was investigated with different morphology of sorbitol such as a compact shaped P-type and a loose shaped S-type, and with different granule size such as 50 mesh, 80 mesh, and 100 mesh. The chewing gum including S-type sorbitol exhibited an increased flexibility and a decreased hardness as compared with that including P-type sorbitol. S-type sorbitol was chosen as a solid phase of sugar-free chewing gum because the consumer preferred a chewing gum with high flexibility and low hardness. The flexibility and hardness of chewing gum including S-type sorbitol were determined to be optimum at 80 mesh of the sorbitol size. The flexibility of the chewing gum including 80 mesh S-type sorbitol increased but the hardness decreased with increasing temperature.

Low-fat and sugar-free (LFSF) cookies were developed for patients with metabolic syndrome X, such as obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and hypertention, using artificial sweeteners (mixture of aspartame and saccharin), pectin and herb extracts such as Polygonatum Odoratum (Mill) Druce, Schizandrae Fructus and Lycii Fructus, without sugar and fats. LFSF cookies were composed of 7.5 : 1 of aspartame and saccharin, 5% pectin, 49% protein, and 5% herb extracts, with reduced fat level. The values for area under the curve in oral glucose tolerance tests were significantly lower in 90% pancreatomized-(Px, n = 8) and sham - operated (Sham, n = 8) rats which consumed LFSF cookies, than the control, which consumed regular cookies. Blood glucose levels were higher and the peak levels were significantly lower in the LFSF cookies group than the control group of Px and Sham rats. Blood glucose levels of healthy female college students (n = 10) at 30 and 60 min after the consumption of 30 g LFSF and regular cookies were not different, but they were significantly lower in the LFSF-cookies group in diabetes patients (n = 10). In conclusions, LFSF cookies was considered as a good snack for diabetic patients.

The quality characteristics of strawberry jam containing different levels of sugar alcohols, such as xylitol, sorbitol and maltitol were compared with jam containing 35% of sugar only. Addition of 10-30% of xylitol did not influence pH and total acidity. The intensity of redness and amount of residual anthocyanin were increased according to increase of levels of xylitol, which showed a positive effect on color. However, the addition of more than 10% of xylitol resulted in negative changes in hardness and spreadmeter values. These and consumer preference results showed that the optimum amount of xylitol was less than 10%. Substituting sugar with 10% of xylitol and 25% of sorbitol, 10% of xylitol and 25% of maltitol or 10% of xylitol and 12.5% of sorbitol and maltitol did not change the pH, total acidity, hardness or spreadmeter value, but the redness and the amount of residual anthocyanin were still increased by these ratios. The most preferred ratio according to the sensory test was 10% of xylitol with 12.5% of sorbitol and maltitol each.

This study was performed to find the optimum ratio of ingredients in the Chinese radish jam. The experiment was designed according to the RSM (response surface methodology), which included 18 experimental points with 4 replicates for three independent variables (sugar $45{\sim}70%$, pectin $0.5{\sim}2.0.%$, citric acid $0.2{\sim}0.5%$). The compositional and functional properties of the prepared products were measured, and these values were applied to the mathematical models. By use of F-test, sweetness, color values (L, a, b), and firmness were expressed by a linear model, while the sensory characteristics (color, smell, taste, texture and overall acceptance) were by a quadratic model. In the numeric optimization, the optimal ingredient amounts were 53.7% sugar, 1.0% pectin, and 0.3% citric acid. And in the graphical optimization, 53.9% sugar, 1.0% pectin, and 0.3% citric acid; these data were equivalent to 0.6985 desirability, indicating that the values were almost equivalent to the numerical optimization points. The above results demonstrate the feasibility of Chinese radish jam, and therefore, the commercialization of a Chinese radish jam marketed as a functional food is deemed possible.

This study aimed to investigate preferences for sous-vide cooked jabchae between Korean and Chinese consumers according to sauce mixing proportion. To commercialize sous-vide cooked jabchae and localize it for overseas circumstances in the Korean and Chinese markets, consumers' subjective preferences for sous-vide cooked jabchae were investigated especially in 119 Korean consumers (55 males and 64 females) and 136 Chinese consumers (70 males and 66 females). For jabchae samples, this study set up three different mixture rates of soy sauce and sugar, 8% (LSS), 13% (MSS), and 18% (HSS), and three different salad oil rates, 0% (LO), 12% (MO), and 24% (HO), to propose nine kinds of samples. As a result of consumer preferences, for Koreans, MSS and HSS regardless of oil content were significantly high in overall, appearance, saltiness, sweetness preferences, and purchase intention (P<0.001). In addition, for oiliness preference, LSS, MSS, LO, and MO were significantly high (P<0.001). For Chinese, HSS, MO, and HO were significantly high in overall, flavor preference, and purchase intention (P<0.001). For saltiness and sweetness preference, regardless of oil content, saltiness preference was significantly high in HSS and sweetness in MSS and HSS (P<0.001). For oiliness preference, regardless of content of soy sauce and sugar mixture, LO and MO were significantly higher, and for appearance preference, there was no significant difference among all samples (P<0.01). In general, both Korean and Chinese tended to prefer MS and HO, irrespective of oil content. Especially for Koreans, LSS was the least favorite sample in almost all preference questionnaires. For Chinese, preference scores for LSS and HSS were higher than for Koreans. On the other hand, oil content did not have much effect on consumer preference as compared with contents of soy sauce and sugar mixture.

To decrease excessive sugar intake, and increase vegetable and calcium intake, we manufactured sugar free fruit-vegetable jam containing calcium and fructo-oligosaccharide to substitute for sucrose. We evaluated jam for physico-chemical and sensory properties. When the amount of apple was replaced with the amount of kale, $^{\circ}brix$ decreased, whereas there were no significant changes in pH. As the amount of kale increased, lightness and yellowness increased. However redness did not show trend to increase or decrease. In the texture profile analysis, hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness significantly decreased with increased amount of kale, but adhesiveness gradually increased. The sensory parameters including taste, flavor, color, spreadability and overall acceptance of jam added 10.0~12.0% amount of kale were the highest acceptance. As the amount of kale added in the jam, sensory properties decreased. In general, when sugar free fruit-vegetable jam was manufactured, apple and kale ratio of 3:1 or 4:1 was considered appropriate.

Effect of gamma irradiation on the microbiological and physicochemical characteristics of vacuum-packaged sugar-treated corns was examined to improve taste and shelf-life during storage at room or low temperature. When the vacuum-packaged sugar-treated corns were stored at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 months, total counts and yeast and molds in the control increased approximately 2.4 and 3.5 log CFU/g, respectively but complete inactivation was observed for irradiated corns at 3 and 5 kGy. Similar results were observed at $15^{\circ}C\;and\;4^{\circ}C$ storage. There were no significant differences in hardness between irradiated sugar-treated waxy corns and control group before storage, but the hardness in control significantly increased during the storage, compared to those of irradiated corns. Also, changes in sugar content were not significant between the irradiated sugar-treated waxy corns and control during storage. Sensory evaluation for steamed-waxy corns showed that total sensory scores were higher in irradiated corns than in control, which were increased with irradiation doses. It was considered that maintaining good quality and increasing shelf-life of irradiated vacuum-packaged sugar treated corns could be possible at $15^{\circ}C$ storage for long-term period.
