This study was carried out to investigate the changes in the biological activity and nutritional content of Flammulina velutipes, Grifola frondosa, and Sparassis crispa extracts after roasting treatment. Regarding biological activities, the DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in the extracts of air-dried G. frondosa, while the nitrite scavenging activity was significantly higher in the extracts of roasted S. crispa (p<0.05). The total polyphenol contents of F. velutipes and S. crispa were significantly increased by the roasting treatment compared with those in fresh samples (p<0.05). Regarding the amino acid composition of edible mushrooms, the content of sweet-taste amino acids, including serine (Ser) and alanine (Ala), increased in G. frondosa after roasting, whereas bitter amino acids, including decreased in roasted versus samples. Moreover, the contents of essential amino acids such as leucine (Leu), isoleucine (Ile), methionine (Met), valine (Val), and histidine (His) in F. velutipes and S. crispa were increased due to the roasting treatment (versus fresh samples). Thus, it was confirmed that the r method is effective in improving the nutritional content of edible mushrooms.

The sensory characteristics of nine rice-based distilled soju were determined using check-all-that-apply (CATA) profiling. A total of 53 consumers evaluated the soju for two appearance attributes, nine aroma attributes, nine flavor/taste attributes, four mouth-feel related sensory attributes, and overall desirability. The total sum of CATA terms indicated that 14 characteristics showed frequency differences of over 10 and that there were significant differences among nine samples for eleven sensory attributes as determined using Cochran's q test (p<0.05). Based on correspondence analysis of CATA data, the samples were primarily separated by the first dimension, which accounted for 89% of the total variance among samples. The "brown color," "fruit taste," and "grain aroma" characteristics had higher frequencies than those for the "white color," "acetone aroma," and 'alcohol taste" characteristics. Overall, there was a higher preference for oak-aged samples than for samples aged in other containers. "sweet aroma', 'fruit aroma," and "sweet taste" seemed to positively affect consumer preferences, while "bitter taste," "alcohol taste," and "acetone aroma" appeared to negatively affect consumer preferences as determined by principal coordinate analysis.

This study investigated the preparation of seasoned anchovy sauce (SAS) and its functional characteristics by using aminopeptidase active fractions (AAFs) derived from squid Todarodes pacificus hepatopancreas as a bitter taste improver. As the base of the SAS, a hydrolysate (AAAH) prepared by continuously treating raw anchovies with Alcalase-AAF was used. The high-performance liquid chromatography profile of the AAAH suggested that the action of AAFs decreased the hydrophobicity of the N-terminal peptide related to bitterness in the protein hydrolysates. SAS was prepared by blending with the AAAH and other ingredients. The crude protein (2.5%), carbohydrates (18.4%), amino acid-nitrogen (1,325.1 mg/100 mL), and total free and released amino acids (FRAAs, 700.2 mg/100 mL) of SAS were higher than those of commercial anchovy sauce (CAS). Sensory evaluation revealed that SAS was superior to CAS in flavor, color, and taste. The main FRAAs of SAS were glycine (16.8%), alanine (13.2%), glutamic acid (7.8%), and leucine (7.3%). The amino acids that had a major influence on the taste according to the SAS taste values were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, alanine, and histidine. The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory (2.21 mg/mL) and antioxidant activities (3.58 mg/mL) of SAS were superior to those of CAS.

The purpose of this study was to breed a variety of stable productivity and high storage characteristics of white Hypsizygus marmoreus, which has high demand at domestic and global market due to a low bitter taste and the preference for white species. Accordingly, 'Baekmaru' was bred by hybridizing brown and white cap color species and backcrossing with white species. The 'Baekmaru' variety was bred by crossbreeding the brown and white species and backcrossing the white species. Through repeated cultivation of 'Baekmaru', a variety with a low contamination rate was selected when culturing the spawn for stable cultivation. As a results of demonstration test, the yield of 'Baekmaru' was 14% higher than that of the commercial variety. In addition, among the fruiting body characteristics of 'Baekmaru', diameter and thickness of the pileus were 16.43±15.27mm and 6.46±0.58mm, which were slightly higher than the commercial variety, and the hardness was 2.69±0.89N for the pileus and 3.09±0.89N for the stipe. The shelf life showed less change in thickness and color of pileus compared to commercial variety. The hardness of pileus of 'Baekmaru' was maintained in the range of 3.5 to 4.0N in the 4℃ and 4℃ and 20℃ mixed treatment until 30 days of storage, and was higher than that of the commercial variety. Therefore, it was suggested to be excellent in storability.

Rice in Korea is a highly valuable food resource that serves both as staple food and ingredient in various processed edibles. This study was conducted to explore pre-treatment methods for rice that result in good saccharification upon production of rice beer. When rice was subjected to fine grinding, steeping, roasting, gelatinizing, or puffing prior to saccharification with malt, wort containing puffed rice had the highest soluble solid content (°Bx). Upon production of wort without the addition of any enzymes for liquefaction or saccharification, the addition of 30% rice resulted in the highest soluble solid content (°Bx). Production of beer containing 10, 20, or 30% of either roasted or puffed rice showed that wort containing 30% puffed rice had the highest soluble solid content (15.4 °Bx) with good saccharification. The resulting beer likewise exhibited higher alcohol content (5.0-5.4%) than the beer that had roasted rice added, without the turbidity and with less bitterness. Therefore, rice puffing was considered a beneficial processing method to enhance rice saccharification and to facilitate both the production of fine quality beers and rice beer containing puffed rice.

The study was conducted to confirm the possibility of producing alcohol beverages from Dae-hong peaches. Upon examining the quality characteristics of distilled soju using Dae-hong peaches, the alcohol content was 1.12 to 1.16 times higher than that from the atmospheric distillation method. Soju with 20 % peach extract content had the highest alcohol content and the lowest volatile acid content, indicating a low possibility of causing irritating odors. Acetaldehyde was 1.3-1.94 times lower in vacuum-distilled soju, and methanol was not detected in all samples. The absorbance value of furfural, a burnt component generated during distillation is high in atmospheric distillation, which can cause irritating odors. Upon examining the volatile fragrance components, isoamylalcohol and 1-propanol were found to be the main components, both of which were the highest in the treatment group with 20 % peach extract content. The electronic nose analysis revealed that this group showed the most opposing flavor patterns to the control group, and when distilled under reduced pressure with 20 % addition of Dae-hong peaches can produce high-quality soju.

The objective of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of coffee soaked in Morus bombycis extract. Green coffee beans were soaked in M. bombycis extract for 2, 4, and 6 hours (sample codes: 2H, 4H, and 6H) at $4^{\circ}C$. Soaked green beans were dried and roasted for coffee extraction. Two controls, roasted with the same amount of heat (C1) and showed the same weight after roasting (C2), were used. Physicochemical characteristics (pH, total acidity, color, browning index, and total soluble solids), DPPH free radical scavenging activity (DPPH), ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), total polyphenol content (TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC) were investigated. Lower pH and higher total acidity were observed in 2H, 4H, and 6H (P<0.05), supporting evidence of sour taste. There were significant differences in DPPH between the controls (45.51~47.02%) and samples (50.67~55.25%, P<0.05), although 2H and 6H did not show significantly higher DPPH than the controls. 2H, 4H, and 6H showed significantly higher FRAP values ($0.320{\sim}0.331\;FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;mM\;FeSO_4/g$) than controls ($0.265{\sim}0.271\;mM\;FeSO_4/g$). ORAC values of samples [1,062.86~1,153.68 mM trolox equivalent (TE)/g] were significantly higher than those of controls (689.40~942.12 mM TE/g). 2H, 4H, and 6H showed significantly higher TPC [24.27~26.07 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g] and TFC [3.75~4.28 mg quercetin equivalent (QE)/g] than controls (19.79~22.77 mg GAE/g and 1.07~1.95 mg QE/g, respectively) (P<0.05). M. bombycis extracts soaked into green coffee beans showed polyphenol compounds from green coffee beans. Consumer acceptance of 4H (5.12) was the highest, followed by C2 (4.92). C1 (4.14) showed the lowest consumer acceptance. Consumers were segmented into two groups, those who preferred M. bombycis extract-soaked coffee (approximately 61%) and controls (approximately 39%).

The purpose of this study was to invesitage the optimum cooking method, which ingridients mixing ratio and decortication of white and black sesame gruels, were examined by sensory and mechanical tests. As the results of sensory evaluation for the decortication white and black sesame gruels with the levels of 50, 100, 150, and 200％ sesame per rice l00ｇ, the flavor, nutty taste, and the overall preference were increased with the increase of sesame add. The gruel which made with decorticated sesame roafting for 7 minutes was proferable. The gruels 150% decorticated white and black sesame roasted 7 min had better overall preference. In the mechanical measurement for the white sesame gruels, L value tended to be decreased, while ‘a' and ‘b' values as well as viscosity tented to be increased as the sesame ratio and roasting time increased. In black sesame gruels, L value tended to be decreased, while ‘a' and ‘b' values as well as viscosity tended to be increased when sesame ratio was increased. In correlation between sensory evaluation and mechanical measurement of the white and black sesame gruels, color, flavor, nutty taste of sensory evaluation were correlated with the mechanical measurement. The optimal material mixing ratio for gruels was rice 100 g, white and black sesame 150 g, and water 1075 g.
