This study was conducted to investigate the effect of additions of duck skin as pork fat replacer on the quality characteristics of duck meat sausage during refrigerated storage. The sausage made with only duck meat was severed as the control. Three treatments of sausages were produced with addition levels (T1, 1%; T2, 2% and T3, 3%) of duck skin. Our results showed that the addition of duck skin significantly (p<0.05) decreased the moisture content whereas significantly (p< 0.05) increased the fat content in the sausages. The sausages with duck skin had significantly (p<0.05) higher pH values until 4 weeks of refrigerated storages when compared to the control. CIE $L^*$ value was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T1 and T2 than those of other treatments after 7 days of refrigerated storage. Similarly the sausages with duck skin had significantly (p<0.05) higher CIE $a^*$ values as compared with the control after 4 weeks of refrigerated storage. The sausages with 1% duck skin processed the significantly (p<0.05) highest hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness values at all storage days. No differences were found between the control and treatment for color, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability. Based on the results obtained in the present study it is suggested that duck skin to levels of 1~2% can be used as fat replacer for manufacture of duck meat sausage with a positive effect on quality and texture characteristics. However, further research in necessary to improve taste and palatability of the products.

The object of this study is to investigate the quality change of sweet basil grown with selenium(Se) in hydroponic culture. Sweet basil was cultured with 1 fold herb nutrient solution as suggested by European vegetable R & D Center in Belgium. Before three weeks harvest, sodium selenate(N $a_2$Se $O_4$) was supplied to 2 and 4 mg. $L^{-1}$ in the nutrient solution. Sweet basil was stored at 1$0^{\circ}C$ using 40um ceramic film and PET (polyethylene terephalate) for 15 days in modified atmosphere(MA) storage condition. The weight loss of sweet basil was higher in non-treatment compared to Se treatments in both of two films but it was decreased over 5% in PET treatment. Se concentrations in leaf tissues increased in the response to the treated levels of N $a_2$Se $O_4$concentrations, and this tendency was appeared similar results after storage. There was no significant effect of packing materials on volatilization of Se in sweet basil. The total chlorophyll and essential oil content was increased with increasing N $a_2$Se $O_4$concentration in nutrient solution. The amount of volatilization flavor was not higher at N $a_2$Se $O_4$4mg. $L^{-1}$ treatment compare to others during storage. Se content was 112.73 ug. $g^{-1}$ dry mass at 2 mg. $L^{-1}$ treatment before storage and the decrease of Se content was observed by 50% at 15 days after storage. The condition, which N $a_2$Se $O_4$2mg. $L^{-1}$$^{plement}$ in nutrient solution during growth stage and stored with 40um ceramic film on 1$0^{\circ}C$are acceptable for maintaining of sweet basil quality. Moreover it can be a proper Se concentration for human health. Overall, Se treatment in nutrient solution has effect on promoting and maintaining quality of herb during storage life. Also, there was not significant change of essential oil compounds by volatilization of Se.mpounds by volatilization of Se.

The grade and price of Lentinula edodes largely differs in preference depending on the product area and seasonal factors. The product amount of autumn L. edodes was higher than that of spring L. edodes, but high quality, which is divided into "Hwago" is low in preference. Mostly, the autumn L. edodes is obtained as powder; hence, it is necessary to develop a processing method to utilize its flavor and aroma at an affordable price. Additionally, we estimated the content of 𝛽-glucan, ergosterol, vitamin D₂, reducing sugars, and free amino acids and evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of saccharification powder of log-cultivated L. edodes. In the saccharification powders obtained via 7 min of UV irradiation of log-cultivated L. edodes, 𝛽-glucan and vitamin D₂ contents were found to be the highest, whereas ergosterol content was found to be the lowest. The content of reducing sugars ranged from 62.4 mg/L to 68.2 mg/L. The free amino acids were higher in these saccharification powders than in the control. Subsequently, RAW 264.7 cells were treated with different concentrations (10, 50, 100, 200, 300, and 500 ㎍/mL) of the saccharification powders of log-cultivated L. edodes obtained via different UV irradiation time applications. The cells showed good viability; the anti-inflammatory effect was found to be the highest at 7 min UV irradiation. Therefore, 7 min of UV irradiation was determined to be the optimum condition for manufacturing saccharification powders of log-cultivated L. edodes. Hence, saccharification powders of log-cultivated L. edodes may be used as a raw material for natural sweeteners, food additives, and in the food industry.

In this study, we evaluated the fatty acid composition and physiological activities of oils extracted from eight types of seeds, pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), green tea (Camellia sinensis L.), perilla (Perilla frutescens var. japonica Hara), peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), cotton (Gossypium indicum LAM.), sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), walnut (Juglans regia L.), and safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.). The composition and quality analysis showed that the oils were potentially suitable for foo-grade applications. The composition analysis showed that the oils were mostly composed of unsaturated fatty acids including linoleic acid and oleic acid. In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, green pepper, perilla, and peanut seed oils inhibited lipid accumulation, and green pepper, perilla, peanut, sesame, walnut, and safflower seed oils induced leptin secretion. These results show that the inhibitory effect of edible seed oils on lipid accumulation, and induction of leptin secretion may be useful for obesity management.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of pH adjustment and the addition of cryoprotectants on the storage properties of chicken breast surimi. Surimi as a control was prepared with Alaska pollack by two times of washing treatment and addition of cryoprotectants(4% sugar, 5% sorbitol and 0.3% polyphosphate). Three types of surimi were manufactured by different cryoprotectant conditions(T1: 5% sorbitol+0.3% polyphosphate, T2: 4% sugar+5% sorbitol+0.3% polyphosphate, T3: 2% salt+4% sugar+5% sorbitol+0.3% polyphosphate) and frozen after adjusting the surimi to pH 11.0. The amino acid and saturated fatty acid composition were significantly higher in the control. EAA(essential amino acid), FAA(amino acid in relation to flavor), SAAA(amino acid in relation to saccarinity) and FRAA (fragrant amino acid) were significantly higher in the control. The TBARS(thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) and VBN(volatile basic nitrogen) were increased with storage times. TBARS and VBN values were significantly higher in the control and T3 than the other treatments. The VBN was significantly higher in control and T3 than other surimi samples. Chicken breast surimi adjusted to pH 11.0 had higher in microorganisms than the control, and T1 sample had the highest total plate count. Sensory evaluations were significantly higher in the control and T3 than the other samples. Especially, the overall acceptability of T3 was similar to the control.

Watermarking is a widely employed method tn protecting copyright of a digital image, the owner's unique image is embedded into the original image. Strengthened level of watermark insertion would help enhance its resilience in the process of extraction even from various distortions of transformation on the image size or resolution. However, its level, at the same time, should be moderated enough not to reach human visibility. Finding a balance between these two is crucial in watermarking. For the algorithm for watermarking, the predefined strength of a watermark, computed from the physical difference between the original and embedded images, is applied to all images uniformal. The mean brightness or contrast of the surrounding images, other than the absolute brightness of an object, could affect human sensitivity for object detection. In the present study, we examined whether the detectability for watermark noise might be attired by image statistics: mean brightness and contrast of the image. As the first step to examine their effect, we made rune fundamental images with varied brightness and control of the original image. For each fundamental image, detectability for watermark noise was measured. The results showed that the strength ot watermark node for detection increased as tile brightness and contrast of the fundamental image were increased. We have fitted the data to a regression line which can be used to estimate the strength of watermark of a given image with a certain brightness and contrast. Although we need to take other required factors into consideration in directly applying this formula to actual watermarking algorithm, an adaptive watermarking algorithm could be built on this formula with image statistics, such as brightness and contrast.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of storage condition, such as temperature and relative humidity (RH), on the change of sensory properties and free fatty acid composition of pre-packed Hanwoo loin (Musculus longissimus) until $21^{st}$ day of storage. The Hanwoo loin was sliced in $1.0{\pm}0.2cm$ thickness and each of the sliced pieces was packed in a foamed polystyrene tray with linear low-density polyethylene (LLD-PE) film to simulate the pre-packed Hanwoo loin sold in retail market, then stored in home-style refrigerator (Con; $5^{\circ}C$, 17%RH), and temperature and RH controled chambers (T1; $5^{\circ}C$, 55%RH, T2; $5^{\circ}C$, 85%RH, and T3; $-1^{\circ}C$, 99%RH), respectively. The sensory characteristics of pre-packed Hanwoo loin during storage in different conditions were measured on raw or after cooking. After 21 days of storage, the loin stored in T3 showed significantly high color and acceptability scores ($7.46{\pm}1.07$, $7.06{\pm}1.36$, respectively) on raw loin, and flavor and acceptability scores ($7.16{\pm}0.90$, $6.90{\pm}0.92$, respectively) on cooked loin than those of others (p<0.05). The concentration of 12 fatty acids of pre-packed Hanwoo loin during storage in different conditions were analysed. The concentration of oleic acid (C18:1, $39.92{\pm}3.22%$), palmitic acid (C16:0, $28.20{\pm}2.42%$), and stearic acid (C18:0, $12.59{\pm}2.79%$) was high in Hanwoo loin on $1^{st}$ day of storage. The concentration of palmitic acid of Hanwoo loin stored in T2 was increased significantly after $4^{th}$ day of storage (p<0.05), and the concentration of myristic acid(C14:0) of Hanwoo loin stored in treated chamber (T1 to T3) was significantly higher than Con after $14^{th}$ day of storage (p<0.05). The concentration of linolenic acid (C18:3) of Hanwoo loin was decreased significantly after $4^{th}$ day of storage in all tested storage conditions (p<0.05). However, there was no significant or consistent change in the concentration of oleic acid (C18:1) during storage period in every Hanwoo loin stored in tested conditions. Although, the concentration of total monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) was decreased in Con and T2 (p<0.05), there was no consistent change in the monounsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids ratio (MUFA/SFA) during storage period (p>0.05). From those results, it was considered that storage condition affects on the sensory acceptability and fatty acid composition of pre-packed Hanwoo loin as storage period was increased.

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 was conducted to investigate the effect of duck and pork meat mixing ratio on quality characteristics of emulsion type sausage at $4^{\circ}C$ during 5 weeks. Treatments on the basis of the meat content were subjected to 100% duck meat (T1), 100% pork meat (T2), 50% duck meat + 50% pork meat (T3), 40% duck meat + 60% pork meat (T4), and 30% duck meat + 70% pork meat (T5). The moisture content was significantly (p<0.05) higher in TI sample but significantly (p<0.05) lower in T2 sample than those in comparison to the other treatments. Crude protein and fat content were significantly (p<0.05) higher in T2 sample compared to the other treatments. CIE $L^*$value was significantly (p<0.05) lower in T1 sample than those of other treatments until 5 weeks of cold storage. CIE $a^*$value was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T1 sample but significantly (p<0.05) lower in T2 sample than those in comparison to the other treatments until 5 weeks of cold storage. Hardness was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T4 sample compared to the other treatments during all cold storage. Cohesiveness was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T5 sample compared to the other treatments until 2 weeks of cold storage. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the meat flavor, taste and texture were significantly (p<0.05) lower in T5 sample compared to the other treatments whereas no difference among treatments except T5 sample. Overall acceptability was significantly (p<0.05) lower in T5 sample compared to the other treatments. Therefore, these results suggested that the ratio of 40% duck meat and 60% pork meat is appropriate levels for hardness and palatability when manufacturing emulsion type sausage with duck meat.

A total of 120 pigs were used to investigate the effect of feeding probiotics on physico-chemical properties and sensory evaluation of pork loin. About 50kg pigs were randomly alloted into one of six experimental diet groups (C1:commercial diet feed the gilt; C2:commercial diet feed the barrow; T1:$0.5\%$ YC2000 feed the gilt T2:$0.5\%$ YC2000 feed the barrow; T3:$0.1\%$ YC2000 + $0.3\%$ KBC1121 feed the gilt; T4:$0.1\%$ YC2000 + $0.3\%$ KBC1121 feed the barrow). Pigs were slaughtered at approximately 110kg live weight. Crude fat and crude ash were not difference among the treatments. However, water content was higher in T1 and T2 compared to other treatment and the protein level of T3 was higher than those of other treatments. All of dietary probiotic groups showed higher pH compared to control. Especially, pH of T1 and T2 were higher among the dietary probiotic groups. Cholesterol level of dietary probiotic groups were lower compared to control. In meat color, $a^{*}$ was higher in T1 and $b^{*}$ was lower in T2 compared to other treatments. In sensory evaluation of cooked meat, aroma, flavor, tenderness, juiciness and overall palatability were higher in control, whereas T3 and T4 showed higher score in tenderness, juiciness and overall palatability. T3 had higher myristic acid. palmitoleic acid and oleic acid, whereas arachidonic acid was lower in T3. In conclusion, dietary probiotic groups were much better than other treatments in cholesterol, color, tenderness and juiciness. But drip loss of dietary probiotic groups showed higher due to lower pH compared to control.
