This study, investigated the effect of changes in inoculum levels and fermentation temperature of chunggugjang prepared with Bacillus subtilis(B. subtilis) NRLSI IV on the quality characteristics. In chunggugjang prepared at different inoculum levels, viable cell count, reducing sugar and amino type nitrogen were maximized at $10^6\;CFU/mL$, whereas relative viscosity of viscous substance and hardness peaked at $10^2\;CFU/mL$. In sensory evaluation, chunggugjang made with $10^2\;CFU/mL$ showed higher values of appearance, color, taste and viscosity and a lower value of off-flavor than that made at other inoculum levels. Based on the results of ammonia type nitrogen, relative viscosity and sensory evaluation, the optimum inoculum level for chunggugjang prepared by B. subtilis NRLSI IV was $10^2\;CFU/mL$. In the second step, the effect of different fermentation temperatures on the quality changes of chunggugjang incubated with $10^2\;CFU/mL$ of B. subtilis NRLSI IV were investigated. The viable cell count was maximized at $40^{\circ}C$, but minimized at $45^{\circ}C$. Reducing sugar was not significantly different from $30^{\circ}C$ to $40^{\circ}C$ but was increased at $45^{\circ}C$. Increasing fermentation temperature decreased the content of amino type and ammonia type nitrogen. Chunggugjang prepared at $40^{\circ}C$ showed high sensory evaluation result in microorganism growth, appearance, taste and viscosity and particularly had low off-favor.

This study aims to make stock using cod bones with the hot water extraction method. Moisture content, chromaticity, pH, salinity, sugar content, mineral contents, quantitative analysis, and overall acceptance were studied to determine the standard formula. The results are as follows. The moisture content decreased (p < 0.001) and color value increased as heating time increased. The pH was highest in CS5 which was heated for 30 minutes and lowest in CS1. The salinity and sugar content significantly increased with more heating time (p < 0.001). In terms of mineral contents, sodium was highest in 138.87~154.17 mg, magnesium and iron showed proportion difference with increased heating time. The mineral analysis test result revealed that sodium, magnesium and iron showed proportional difference with increased heating time, while potassium and calcium did not change. The result of quantitative analysis test showed transparency, fishy smell, delicate flavor, savory flavor, salt taste and umami taste became stronger as high-pressure heating time increased. From these result, CS4 was evaluated to be the best in appearance, flavor, taste, aftertest and overall acceptance. Also, 60 minute high-pressure heating time is the most desirable to produce stock using cod bones as a main ingredient.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of muffins containing Actinidia polygama powder, which is well known for its various functions and biological activity. With increasing Actinidia polygama powder, the volume, height and specific volume increased significantly. The height of the muffins prepared with Actinidia polygama powder was higher than that of the control group. The pH of the muffin decreased significantly with increased levels of Actinidia polygama powder. The moisture of samples raged from 26.83% to 30.86%. The L- and b-value decreased, while a-value increased, with increasing amounts of added Actinidia polygama powder. Textural profile analysis showed that the hardness, springiness and chewiness were decreased with increasing Actinidia polygama powder contents. As the Actinidia polygama powder content increased, 1,1-diphenyl-2picriylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging also significantly increased. The sensory evaluation results indicated that the group of 3% Actinidia polygama powder recorded the highest overall preference score at 6.20. The quality characteristics of the 3% added samples exhibited significantly similar or higher values as compared to those of the conrols, raising the possibility of development in health-functional muffins.

The principal objective of this study is to develop the optimal recipe for muffins prepared with replacement of sucrose with xylitol. The effect of xylitol on properties of muffins was evaluated in terms of height, volume, weight, specific volume, baking loss rate, crumbScan, colorimeter, sensory evaluation, and staling of muffins during storage days(0, 1, 3, 5 days) was measured by texture analyzer. Hardness of muffins was increased by adding xylitol, significantly during storage. Lightness(L value) of crust was increased significantly as the contents of xylitol increased. According to sensory evaluation, the muffins(control group) without xylitol had highest score in appearance and texture. In flavor, taste and overall acceptance, muffins with 25% of xylitol showed the best result but were not significant between the muffins(control group).

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of sponge cakes added with Grifola frondosa powder. The specific gravity, viscosity, and dough weigh tended to increase as the ratio of mushroom powder increased. The sponge cake volume, specific volume, baking loss rate, and height had a tendency to decrease according to the addition of mushroom powder. The color of the cake crust and crumb became darker as the amount of mushroom powder increased, and the addition of mushroom powder increased the hardness, gumminess, and brittleness of the cake. Finally, the overall acceptability of the sponge cake was the best when the cake contained 5% mushroom powder.

This study was conducted to promote the utilization of fish paste with added lotus leaf powder as a food. The tested concentrations of lotus leaf powder were 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2%. All the samples of fish paste with added lotus leaf powder had 37% water content. For the Hunter color values, the L, a and b values of the fish paste decreased with increasing concentrations of lotus leaf powder. And the folding test presented a good score(AA). In the texture meter test, the gumminess, and brittleness decreased according to increasing concentrations of lotus leaf powder. However, the hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness of the fish paste were not significantly changed by the addition of lotus leaf powder. In the sensory evaluation, the lotus leaf flavor, hardness, and adhesiveness increased as the concentrations of lotus leaf powder increased. The fish paste with 0.5% lotus leaf powder(0.5 LP) showed the highest acceptance scores in terms of pleasant taste and springiness. The fish paste with 0.5% lotus leaf powder(0.5 LP) also showed the highest acceptance scores for appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall quality. Therefore, the results suggest that lotus leaf powder can be applied to fish paste to increase its quality and functionality.
