This study investigated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with various amounts of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder (as ratios of 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% to the total materials). According to the results, the pH of yanggaeng decreased significantly with the addition of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder (p<0.001). Increasing the amount of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder in the yanggaeng tended to increased $^{\circ}Brix$ value (p<0.01). For color values, lightness (L) values were reduced by increasing the amount of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder, redness (a) and yellowness (b) while values were increased significantly (p<0.001). Texture measurement scores in terms of hardness, springness, and Adhesiveness for yanggaeng showed that sample groups were lower than those of the control group. Cohesivene and chewiness were higher in the additive group than in the control group. Antioxidant activities, evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging capacity, Nitrites cavenging activity, and total phenolic substances content increased when increased the amount of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder (p<0.001). Results of descriptive analysis showed that by increasing the amount of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder, some attributes such as the intensity of the color, sweet, hardness and chewiness increased (p<0.01). It concluded that yanggaeng containing Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten can be prepared with good sensory properties and antioxidant activities, and the addition of 3% Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder was found to be ideal. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of color, odor, taste, texture, and overall preference of groups with 3% of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder did not show any significant differences when compared to the control group. Based on the above results, this study suggests that the addition of 3% Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder may be the best substitution ratio for yanggaeng.

A partial least squares regression (PLSR) model was developed to map the internal soluble solids content (SSC) of apples using a ground-based hyperspectral scanner that could simultaneously acquire outdoor data and capture images of large quantities of apples. We evaluated the applicability of various preprocessing techniques to construct an optimal prediction model and calculated the optimal band through a variable importance in projection (VIP)score. From the 515 bands of hyperspectral images extracted at wavelengths of 360-1019 nm, 70 reflectance spectra of apples were extracted, and the SSC ($^{\circ}Brix$) was measured using a digital photometer. The optimal prediction model wasselected considering the root-mean-square error of cross-validation (RMSECV), root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) and coefficient of determination of prediction $r_p^2$. As a result, multiplicative scatter correction (MSC)-based preprocessing methods were better than others. For example, when a combination of MSC and standard normal variate (SNV) was used, RMSECV and RMSEP were the lowest at 0.8551 and 0.8561 and $r_c^2$ and $r_p^2$ were the highest at 0.8533 and 0.6546; wavelength ranges of 360-380, 546-690, 760, 915, 931-939, 942, 953, 971, 978, 981, 988, and 992-1019 nm were most influential for SSC determination. The PLSR model with the spectral value of the corresponding region confirmed that the RMSEP decreased to 0.6841 and $r_p^2$ increased to 0.7795 as compared to the values of the entire wavelength band. In this study, we confirmed the feasibility of using a hyperspectral scanner image obtained from outdoors for the SSC measurement of apples. These results indicate that the application of field data and sensors could possibly expand in the future.

This study investigated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with various amounts of Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder (as ratios of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% to the total materials). The result displayed that the $^{\circ}Brix$ value, pH of yanggaeng decreased significantly with the addition of Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder. Increasing the amount of Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder in the yanggeng tended to increased acidity. In chromaticity determination, the values of lightness (L) showed a decrease. However, the value of redness (a) increased by increasing levels of Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder. Texture measurement scores in terms of hardness, springiness, and adhesiveness for yanggaeng showed that sample groups were lower than those of the control group. Cohesiveness and chewiness were higher in the additive group than in the control group. DPPH radical scavenging activity and nitrites cavenging activity were significantly increased Chrysanthemum zawadskii (p<0.001). The DPPH content was highest in the 62.40% Chrysanthemum zawadskii yanggaeng. As Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder increased, antioxidative activity also increased. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of color, odor, taste, texture, and overall preference of groups with 0.5% of Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder did not show any significant differences when compared to the control group. Based on the above results, this study suggests that the addition of 0.5% Chrysanthemum zawadskii powder may be the best substitution ratio for yanggaeng.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of Yanggaeng added with lentil bean sediment. Yanggaeng was prepared by addition of 0, 25, 50, and 75% (w/w) lentil bean sediment to white bean basic formulation. For the proximate composition measurement, lentil bean sediment consisted of 15.63% moisture, 17.31% crude protein, 0.92% crude ash, and 0.31% crude fat. The sediment yield of lentil beans was 54.25%. The moisture content of Yanggaeng significantly increased with increasing lentil bean sediment content. The total soluble solid content ($^{\circ}Brix$) of Yanggaeng significantly decreased with increasing lentil bean sediment content, whereas the pH was not significantly different between the control and experimental groups. The lightness of Yanggaeng significantly decreased with increasing lentil bean sediment content, whereas redness and yellowness significantly increased with increasing lentil bean sediment content. The springiness, gumminess, and chewiness of Yanggaeng decreased with increasing lentil bean sediment content, whereas hardness and cohesiveness was not significantly different between the control and experimental groups. The total phenolic content and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity significantly increased with increasing lentil bean sediment content. Yanggaeng containing 25% lentil bean sediment had acceptable sensory properties, such as taste, texture, and overall preferences. Thus, our results suggest that Yanggaeng containing 25% lentil bean sediment could improve the sensory properties and antioxidant activities of Yanggaeng.

Purpose: This study was conducted to establish the production conditions through optimization of the production process of beverages using Aspergillus oryzae CF1001, and to analyze volatile compounds and antidiabetic activity. Methods: The optimum condition was selected using the response surface methodology (RSM), through a regression analysis with the following independent variables gelatinization temperature (GT, $X_1$), saccharogenic time (ST, $X_2$), and dependent variable; ${\Delta}E$ value (y). The condition with the lowest ${\Delta}E$ value occurred with combined 45 min ST and $50^{\circ}C$ GT. The volatile compounds were analyzed quantitatively by GC-MS. Results: Assessment of antidiabetic activity of saccharogenic mixed grain beverage (SMGB) was determined by measurement of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity, and glucose uptake activity and glucose metabolic protein expression by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blot analysis. Results of volatile compounds analysis, 62 kinds of volatile compounds were detected in SMGB. Palmitic acid (9.534% ratio), benzaldehyde (8.948% ratio), benzyl ethyl ether (8.792% ratio), ethyl alcohol (8.35% ratio), and 2-amyl furan (4.826% ratio) were abundant in SMGB. We confirmed that ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity, glucose uptake activity, and glucose-metabolic proteins were upregulated by SMGB treatment with concentration dependent manner. Conclusion: Saccharogenic mixed grain beverage (SMGB) showed potential antidiabetic activity. Further studies will be needed in order to improve the taste and functionality of SMGB.

As consumers interest in microgreens is increasing worldwide, the production of leafy microgreens uisng different LED lights was investigated in this study. The experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of different LED lights on the composition and vitamin C contents of buckwheat microgreens. Physicochemical properties of buckwheat microgreens grown under different lights (red, blue, and white) and control exposed to a dark room were investigated. Moisture contents of buckwheat microgreens were 95.65% under white light (WL), 95.75% under blue light (BL), 90.77% under red light (RL), and 89.71% under dark room (DR). Crude ash contents of buckwheat microgreens grown under WL, DR, RL, and BL were 0.39%, 0.39%, 0.31%, and 0.37%, respectively. Crude protein contents of buckwheat microgreens grown under DR, RL, WL, and BL were 7.12%, 7.81%, 1.60%, and 2.40%, respectively. Crude fat contents of buckwheat microgreens grown under DR, BL, RL, and WL were 1.12%, 0.54%, 0.35%, and 0.22%, respectively. $^{\circ}Brix$ was the highest in microgreens grown under BL and RL and the lowest in buds grown under DR. Vitamin C content was the highest in buds grown under WL and the lowest in buds grown under BL. Total chlorophyll content was the highest in microgreens grown under RL and the lowest in buds grown under WL. For mineral content measurement of buckwheat microgreens, Ca, K, Mg, and P contents were high whereas B, Cu, and Zn contents were not detected. The mineral contents of buckwheat microgreens according to each color of light showed significant differences. These results demonstrated that treatment of different colored LED lights during cultivation was able to increase vitamin C content up to affecting the nutritional value of buckwheat microgreens.
