The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of A. scaber noodle added with A. scaber extract solution or powder. The weight of cooked noodle and noodle added with A. scaber extract solution was higher than those of the non-added noodle (control) and dried A. scaber powder added noodle. As the amount of A. scaber extract solution or powder was increased, the water absorption rate of noodle was decreased. As the amount of A. scaber solution or powder was increased, the 'L' values of noodles were decreased. Since the 'a' values of all noodles were negative and the 'b' values of all noodles were positive, the color of all noodles were determined to be yellow green. The pH of noodles were 5 to 6 in control noodles and noodles with A. scaber powder. The pH of noodle added A. scaber extract solution was lower than those of others. As amount of A. scaber extract solution or powder was increased, the elasticity of all noodles was decreased. The chewiness of noodles was the highest in noodle added A. scaber extract powder. The quality of noodle added A. scaber extract solution was the excellent among the all other noodles. This result showed that, the quality characteristics and palatability of noodle added A. scaber extract solution or powder was higher than those of control noodle.

This study has been conducted to research the interests and tastes in Korean cuisine aiming at Germans who have lived in Korea for over 6 months, create new Korean menu items to their taste, and provide preliminary data for the globalization of Korean cuisine. Germans living in Korea tend to prefer Korean dishes as much as German dishes, and males have more opportunities to have different Korean dishes than females through social activities. Most of them answered that they barely cook Korean food and gave low marks for the globalization of Korean food and ease of cooking. The main reason given for not cooking Korean food themselves was that it is complicated to cook, which is a direct indication of the lack of knowledge of the recipes. Therefore, the importance of simplification and standardization of recipes for the globalization of Korean food was revealed. From the study on Korean food preferences based on the restaurant frequenting practices of Germans, the most popular Korean restaurants were those which were located in popular restaurant districts or within walking distance and those with an elegant or tranquil ambience. To promote the globalization of Korean food, development of diverse easy recipes or education about Korean dishes for foreigners would enhance their understanding and familiarity of Korean cuisine.

This study investigates the Gabo Jaedong Jemuljeongnyechaek, which is the recording of the darye executed over a period of a year in 1834 ($34^{th}$ year of reign by King Sunjo) in the latter part of the Joseon Dynasty, two years after the death of Princess Bokon, the $2^{nd}$ daughter of King Sunjo. Accordingly, we examined the types of darye (tea ceremonies) and the characteristics of the composition of foods at ancestral rites of the royal families of Joseon. Moreover, we also analyzed the cooking methods and characteristics of food terminologies used in the darye. This includes 39 categories of food and ingredients used for tea ceremonies held for one year, on behalf of the deceased Princess Bokon in 1834. The darye for the monthly national holiday was held along with the darye on the $1^{st}$ and the $15^{th}$ day of every month. The darye for rising up and the birthday darye were held on May $12^{th}$ and October $26^{th}$ of the lunar calendar, being the anniversaries of the death and the birth of Princess Bokon, respectively. The birthday darye and the darye for New Year's Day, Hansik ($105^{th}$ day after winter solstice), Dano ($5^{th}$ day of the $5^{th}$ month of the lunar calendar), and Thanksgiving "Chuseok" were held in the palace and at the burial site of the Princess. During the darye for rising up in May and the Thanksgiving darye at the burial site in August, rituals offering meals to the deceased were also performed. The birthday darye at the burial site of Princess Bokon featured the most extensive range of foods offered, with a total of 33 dishes. Foods ranging 13~25 dishes were offered at the national holiday darye, while the darye on the $1^{st}$ and the $15^{th}$ of the month included 9~11 food preparations, making them more simplified with respect to the composition of foods offered at the ceremony, in comparison to the national holiday darye. The dishes were composed of ddeok, jogwa, silgea, hwachae, foods such as tang, jeok, jjim, hoe, and sikhae, and grain-based foods such as myeon, mandu, and juk. Foods offered at the burial site darye included 12~13 dishes comprising ban, tang, jochi, namul, chimchae, and jang. Meals offered at the darye had a composition similar to that of the daily royal table (sura). Darye recorded in the Jemuljeongnyechaek displayed characteristics of the seasonal foods of Korea. Jemuljeongnyechaek has detailed recordings of the materials, quantities, and prices of the materials required for preparations of the darye. It is quite certain that Jemuljeongnyechaek would have functioned as an essential reference in the process of purchasing and preparing the food materials for the darye, that were repeated quite frequently at the time.

The consumer acceptance of food is not only affected by the sensory characteristics of food but also by the non-food factors, including food experience, consumption frequency, and food attitudes. Therefore, food attitude scales such as the food neophobic scale, VARSEEK scale, Dutch restrained eating scale, health taste attitude scale, etc. have been developed and effectively used to predict consumer liking and behaviors. Since the globalization of Korean food is currently one of the hottest topics in the Korean food industry, the aim of this study was to identify the tastes and flavors that may represent Korean cuisine. Additionally, an attitudinal scale for Korean taste and flavors was developed, which can then be utilized to predict a consumer's liking of Korean food. In the first stage of the experiment, the representative taste and flavors of Korean cuisine was surveyed by a Korean culinary expert group (n=23) and general consumers (n=62). As a result of these surveys, 4 types of flavors, hot pepper flavor, 'goso' flavor, garlic flavor, and fermented flavor were shown to be the most representative flavors of Korean cuisine. Based on these results, the second stage of the experiment was carried out to develop an attitudinal scale for Korean style flavors. Eleven to 17 questionnaires were developed for each of the 4 types of flavors. The survey consisted of a total of 53 questionnaires and 154 female consumers and 158 male consumers participated in the survey. The data was analyzed by factor analysis. For each type of flavor, the final attitudinal questionnaires were selected based on the following criteria: 1. high absolute factor loading value, 2. carrying clear meaning of the corresponding flavor attitude, and 3. delivering the meaning sufficiently when translated into other language. The final Korean style flavor attitude scale consisted of 7 hot pepper flavor, 6 'goso' flavor, 6 garlic flavor, and 7 fermented flavor questionnaires. In the next step of this study, experiments will be carried out to validate the Korean style flavor attitude scale.

In Korea and China, cherry elaeagnus (Elaeagnus multiflora Thunb.) has been used traditionally to treat cough, diarrhea, itching, and foul sores. Therefore, in this study, the ethanol and water extracts of cherry elaeagnus leaves were examined for their antioxidant activities. The ethanol extract of the cherry elaeagnus leaves contained more phenolics than the water extract. All the cherry elaeagnus leaf extracts had higher 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging ability than ascorbic acid at concentrations of $250-1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$. The ethanol extract also showed higher superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity compared to the water extract. Furthermore, the SOD-like activity of the ethanol extract amounted to 89% of that of ascorbic acid at a concentration of $500\;{\mu}g/mL$. The nitrite scavenging ability and xanthine oxidase inhibitory (XOI) activity of the ethanol extract were higher than those of the water extract. In particular, the ethanol extract had higher XOI activity than ascorbic acid at a concentration of $1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$.

This study was conducted to develop a novel salad dressing composite recipe composed of natural seasoning containing dried oak mushroom (Lentirus edodes). Dried oak mushroom (Lentirus edodes) has a better flavor and more nutrients than fresh oak mushroom since vitamins are activated during the drying process. To manufacture salad dressing with Lentirus edodes, dressing with 0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12% added L. edodes were prepared and tested for quality. The pH of the dressing decreased with added L. edodes content, whereas acidity increased but decreased again in the 9% dressing. The L value decreased with added L. edodes content, whereas the a and b values increased but decreased again in the 9% dressing. Sugar content increased with added L. edodes. Rradish strength increased with added oak mushroom. Brittleness and chewiness decreased in the lower percentage dressing, increased in the 9% dressing, but decreased again in the 12% dressing. According to the sensory evaluation results, the highest overall acceptability was 3.3, in the 6% dressing compared to the control group.

The main objective of this study was to investigate how Jongga and its cuisine is perceived by Koreans and foreign tourists and develop Jongga culinary culture for culinary tourism. Chungjae Jongga was chosen since it is one of the most famous Jongga in South Korea. In-depth personal interviews were performed with Koreans and foreign tourists. Interviews were performed to provide deeper insights into comments and subject matters. Most tourists selected "having lunch at Jongga" as the most distinctive part of the tour. To develop the experience at Jongga as a culinary destination, questionnaires were created to study eight areas: satisfaction, expectations as a tourist at Jongga, most impressive part of tour, preference of food serving style, length of stay, price range, things to be improved, and role of food guide. This study will help Jongga to improve food as a culinary tourist's attraction and ultimately heighten the value of Jongga. Perceptions toward Jongga and its cuisine were generally positive, but the quality of service and lack of organization in establishments were perceived to be negative factors.

This study set out to identify the changes in the nutrient contents during the chicken cooking process as basic data for the establishment of a national health nutrition policy. Samples were produced using 3 chicken parts (wing, breast, and leg) and 7 cooking methods (boiling, pan-cooking, pan-frying, deep-frying, steaming, roasting, and microwaving), and the essential amino acid contents, principal components, and retention rates were analyzed. Weight loss was observed in all chicken parts with all cooking methods. The protein and essential amino acid contents of the chicken samples differed significantly according to the part and the cooking method (p<0.01). The protein and essential amino acid contents (g/100 g) of raw and cooked chicken parts showed ranges of 16.81-32.36 and 0.44-2.45, respectively. The principal component analysis (PCA) clearly demonstrated that the cooking methods and chicken parts produced similar trends for the essential amino acid contents. The retention rates of the chicken parts varied with the cooking methods, yielding a minimum value of 83% for isoleucine in a roasted wing, 91% for protein in a steamed breast, and 77% for isoleucine and lysine in a roasted leg. Therefore, the protein and amino acid contents of the roasted breast were higher than those of the other cooked chicken parts.
