Hypochlorous acid(HOCl) is a chemical that is a safe sanitizer and disinfectant approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a food additive, exhibiting strong sterilizing power with low effective chlorine concentration of pH 5.0-6.5 and effective chlorine concentration 10-80 ppm. To apply to fishery industries, we develope the HOCl ice for store or delivery of fishery products. However when HOCl is being frozen, the contained HOCl are expelled out from the ice due to the molecular structures of ice; there is no space to contain HOCl inside. To increase chlorine containing amount in ice, we develop the alginate particles containing HOCl which is bio comparable since alginate is a natural polymer extracted from the brown algae and it is widely used for drug delivery and containing substances, etc. We produce HOCl with water as base solution suppressing osmotic flow from fishery products, and mix it with the developed alginate particles and made HOCl-alginate ice and checked the remaining amount of HOCl. We measure the change of pH and chlorine concentration optimizing the best concentration of alginate particles. Finally, we produce the alginate particle HOCl ices with respect to the alginate's optimal concentration.

Korean food waste, one of the abundantly available but environmentally problematic organic wastes in Korea, was utilized as solid-substrate by fungal strain Aspergillus niger ATcC 6275 for the production of enzymemixture containing amylase, cellulase and xylanase. The enzyme mixture can be used as high value-added animal feed. Solid-state fermentation method yielded a 84-fold enhancement in xylanase activity compared with submerged fermentation method. The effect of incubation period, incubation temperature, pH of medium, moisture content, inoculum size and enrichment of the medium with nitrogen and carbon sources were observed for optimal production of these enzymes The optimal amylase activity of 33.10 U/g, cellulase activity of 24.41 U/g, xylanase activity of 328.84 U/g were obtained at 8 days incubation with 50%(w/w) soy bean flake, with incubation temperature of $25^{\circ}C$, pH of 6.38, optimal moisture content of 55% and with inoculum size of $3.8{\times}10^6$spore/g. Enzyme activities were enhanced when ImM $CaSO_4$, 2% Malt extract and 2% galactose were added as mineral, nitrogen and carbon enrichment respectively.

Grape seed oil was characterized to assess the usefulness in the food industry. Among the various oils, the initial antioxidant activity was the highest for grape seed oil. Heating the oil at $180^{\sim}C$ for 20 min retained 86% of the initial activity. Grape seed and sesame oils showed a low peroxide value, about 2, implying a less oxidative reaction. The oxidation of grape seed oil was increased to a less extent by heat-treatment than other oils. Light exposure for 1 month resulted in a slight decrease in the antioxidant activity of grape seed oil, maintaining 96% of the initial activity. Other oils were all light-susceptible and the activities decreased significantly. The peroxide values of all the oils increased by light exposure, but the extent of oxidation was still the least for grape seed oil. The addition of grape seed oil to perilla oil was very effective, in that the peroxide value was 5-times decreased by 1 : 5 composition of grape seed oil versus perilla oil. These results indicate that grape seed oil can be used as a good cooking oil or an additive for other oils.

This study was conducted to develop optimal composition of flour brew in order to economically utilize flour brew inoculated by lactic acid bacteria as a starter(mother sponge) in bread-making. Two flour brews were prepared ; one with flour and water, the other with flour, water and NaCl. Various nutrients were added to both flour brews and Lactobacilli deMan Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth to investigate the effect of them on growth and activities of Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus brevis and their mixed culture in flour brews to be tested with incubation at 37$^{\circ}C$. The growth of Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus brevis and their mixed culture was stimulated by addition of NaCl with 0.85% concentratin and more by mixed culture than by single lactic acid bacteria, resulting in 3 hrs reduction in cultivation and more by mixed culture than by single lactic acid bacteria, resulting in 3 hrs reduction in cultivation time. the addition of 3% glucose to flour brew with NaCl was observed to enhance acid productioni by mixed culture. Yeast extract greatly affected growth and activities of mixed culture of lactic acid bacteria in flour brew with NaCl and its optimum level of this additive in flour brew with NaCl was approximately 1.0%. The optimal composition of flour brew for mixed culture of lactic acid bacteria was suggested as follows; flour 100g, water 300g, NaCl 3.46g, glucose 12.48g, yeast extract 3.46g.

This study has been carried out to develop a standard method for quantifying of 3 permitted artificial sweeteners (including sodium saccharine, aspartame, acesulfame potassium) contained in foods by HPLC-DAD. A simple and rapid sample pretreatment method was used to remove fat and protein from the test solution with Carrez clearing regent precipitant know to be effective for protein and fat removal. The artificial sweeteners in the test solution purified through sample pretreatment were detected by high performance liquid chromatograph using a Reverse phase C18 column (5 ㎛, 4.6 × 250 mm). The simultaneous quantitative test of 3 kinds of artificial sweeteners can be effectively performed on the high fat emulsified foods containing a large amount of fat. Using the established simultaneous quantitative test method, artificial sweeteners were tested in foods such as dairy products, snacks and chocolate. The results calibration curve showed good linearity with high regression coefficients and the result of recovery test showed satisfactory recoveries within 80~110 %.

Crocin was extracted from Gardenia fructus in order to manufacture a natural food dye. In the extraction and purification process methanol and ethanol were used as the most Suitable solvent selected in preliminary test and 9.28%g/100g of Cretin product in 99.89% of purity was acquired. The lethal dose of Cretin administered in mouse by intra peridoneal was 5.36g/kg which is much lower toxic than any other. The toxic dose which caused diarrhoea in rat was 2.55g/kg and maximum no effect level was found to be 272mg/kg. From the $1%{\sim}2.5%$ content of Crocin in rat diet reduction of body weight appeared and GTP and GOT (Transaminase) value in creased significantly. Crocin showed a good properties of tolerating acid, alkali, sunlight, reductant, oxidant, and salt compared with tar dyes. The range from 100 ppm to 500ppm bring out bright $yellow{\sim}orange$ color, the most effective color, with a good solubility in water-slightly in oil. The acceptable daily intake of crocin was calculated as 2.72mg/kg based on maximum no effect dose (2% additive dose).

Rice is a staple food source in Asian countries. In paddy field, rice plant can take up toxic elements through its roots from contaminated soils, and its leaves and grain can absorb the toxic elements deposited on the soil surface. A totla of 40 soil and polished rice samples were collected around four abandoned metal mines in Korea and analyzed for As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn by atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The average contents of As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in rice grain grown on the contaminated soils were 0.247, 0.174, 4.694, 0.804 and 16.78 mg/kg, respectively. These levels are higher than worldwide average concentrations. Assuming the rice consumption of 169 g/day by overall households in Korea, the estimated daily intakes from the rices were found to be 33, 48, and 63% for As, Cd, and Pb, respectively, of the acceptable daily intake (ADI) suggested by the FAO/WHO Joint Food Additive and Contaminants Committee.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of dried wheat flour noodles made with different concentrations of added shrimp powder, for use in elderly foodservice operations. The cooking quality, mechanical textural properties, and viscosity of the noodle samples were measured, and sensory evaluations were conducted with the prepared noodles. As measured by an amylograph, the gelatinization points of the composite shrimp powderwheat flour noodles increased, whereas viscosity at 95$^{\circ}$C, viscosity at 95$^{\circ}$C after 15 minutes, and maximum viscosity values decreased, with increasing shrimp powder content L and b color values were reduced, and the a value increased, with increasing amounts of shrimp powder, Also, greater concentrations of shrimp powder caused increases in the weight and volume of cooked noodles as well as the turbidity of the soup. With regard to the textural characteristics, the shrimp powder additive increased hardness and reduced adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and springiness. Overall, according to the sensory evaluation results, the noodles prepared with 15% shrimp powder were more preferred than the other samples.

This study investigated the ACE-inhibitory effect of yogurt beverage fortified with hydrolysates as well as the suitability of hydrolysates as a nutraceutical additive to yogurt beverage. Three whey protein hydrolysates hydrolyzed by alcalase, protamex, and trypsin were each added to yogurt beverage at concentrations of 1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg/mL. Yogurt beverage fortified with 2.5 mg/mL of hydrolysates had 61-69% ACE-inhibitory activity, whereas yogurt beverage fortified with 5 mg/mL of hydrolysates showed 74% ACE-inhibitory activity. There were no significant differences in ACE-inhibitory activity between the alcalase or protamex hydrolysates during storage; however, trypsin hydrolysate exhibited significant differences. On the other hand, physicochemical characteristics such as pH (3.47-3.77), titratable acidity (0.81-0.84%), colority, viable cell count, and sensory qualities were not significantly different among the tested yogurt beverage samples during storage. These results showed that yogurt beverage fortified with whey protein hydrolysates maintained antihypertensive activity and underwent no unfavorable changes in physicochemical characteristics regardless of enzyme type.

Effects of washing and additives on the texture of squid surimi gel which has been known to hard to gelation due to high protease activities and many water solubles were studied by SDS-PAGE, compression test, jelly strength and transmission electron microscopy analysis (TEM). Myosin (205 kDa) heavy chain was the major protein in water soluble fractions. It was impossible to make a gel after washing of the minced squid meat. These results suggested that squid (Todarodes pacificus) minced meat does not need a washing for good jelly products. $3.0\%$ of bovine plasma protein (BPP) produced the hardest gel ($16\%$ harder than the control) among the additives including egg white (EW), potato extracts (PE) and transglutaminase-K (TG-K) by compression test (P>0.05). Microstructure of control, $2\%$ EW and $4\%$ TG-K treated gels showed a sponge-like structure with more vacant space. Gels containing $3\%$ BPP formed the most rigid and arranged networks. Those results indicates that poor gel-network formation Was due to the degradation of myofibrillar proteins by proteases contained in the minced meat, which result in non-interlinkage.
