One phase liquid crystal formula was developed by using of nonionic surfactants, polyols, water and oils and its physical property was investigated. At the system oft to 1 ratio of POE octyldodecyl ether series, which have Y type (branch type) hydrophobic group, and POE glyceryl monostearate series, Y type hydrophilic group, it was examined that the formula at 7:3, 6:4, and 5:5 ratio of nonionic surfactant : polyols, shows L$\alpha$ , a pattern which is a typical characteristic of liquid crystal structure under the cross microscope polarized film. As results of L$\alpha$ phase diagram study, the formula which had high hydrophilic nonionic surfactant and the 7:3 ratio of nonionic surfactant : polyol appeared to increase the amount of oil containment and to be capable of the lamella formation. Besides it was examined that lamellar liquid crystal formula could contain about 25-40% water between lamella layers and it was transformed into w/o emulsion following as water content increased. When the lamella gel was applied into a human skin, it was investigated that it had effectiveness in increasing transepidermal water content of the skin.

The mutants of sugary-2 (su-2), floury (flo), shrunken-1 (shr-1), and dull-1 (du-1) were crossed to waxy (wx) to produce $F_2$ seeds. Chi-square analysis on the segregating ratio of the $F_2$ seeds revealed that flo, su-2, and shr-1 were independently transmitted with wx, while wx was epistatic over du-1. The floury and sugary-2 were crossed to Hwasunchalbyeo, a waxy variety, and then the $F_4$ of floury-waxy and sugary-2-waxy seeds were developed, respectively. As the parents phenotypes of sugary-2 and floury, the grains of these two lines showed lower hardness and grain weight than normal grain of Hwacheongbyeo. For alkali digestive value (AVD), the sugary-2-waxy showed lower ADV than Hwacheongbyeo. For the gel consistency of grain flours, the floury was medium like Hwacheongbyeo, while those of the sugary-2, floury-waxy, and sugary-2-waxy were soft like Hwasunchalbyeo. The amylose contents in the grains of the sugary-2 and floury were decreased to ~15% whereas that of Hwacheongbyeo was 19.1%. All the lines showing waxy endosperm (Hwasunchalbyeo, floury-waxy, and sugary-2-waxy) showed less than 4% amylose contents. Interestingly, the free sugar content in the brown rice was increased to 9.27% in the sugary-2-waxy, showing transgressive segregation phenomenon where the free sugar contents in its parents, sugary-2 and Hwasunchalbyeo, were 5.98% and 3.98% respectively. Also, the floury-waxy showed transgressive segregation phenomenon, containing 6.15% of free sugar content in the grains.

This study aimed to develop an optimal processing method for the production of apple-mango jelly for domestic suppliers, by analyzing the quality attributes of the jelly. According to the central composite design, a total of 11 experimental points were designed including the content of apple-mango juice (X₁), and the sugar content (X₂). The responses were analyzed including the color values (CIE Lab and color difference), physicochemical properties (water activity, sweetness, pH, and total acidity), and textural properties (hardness and gel strength). Regression analysis was conducted, except for total acidity, and showed no significant difference for all the experimental points (p<0.05). Quadratic model was derived for all responses with an R square value ranging from 0.8590 to 0.9978. Based on regression model, the appropriate mixing ratio of apple-mango jelly was found to be 31.11% of apple mango juice and 14.65% of sugar. Through this study, the possibility for developing jelly product using apple-mango was confirmed, and it is expected that these findings will contribute to the improvement of the agricultural industry.

Processed meat products play a vital role in our daily dietary intake due to their rich protein content and the inherent convenience they offer. However, they often contain synthetic additives and ingredients that may pose health risks when taken excessively. This review explores strategies to improve meat product quality, focusing on three key approaches: substituting synthetic additives, reducing the ingredients potentially harmful when overconsumed like salt and animal fat, and boosting nutritional value. To replace synthetic additives, natural sources like celery and beet powders, as well as atmospheric cold plasma treatment, have been considered. However, for phosphates, the use of organic alternatives is limited due to the low phosphate content in natural substances. Thus, dietary fiber has been used to replicate phosphate functions by enhancing water retention and emulsion stability in meat products. Reducing the excessive salt and animal fat has garnered attention. Plant polysaccharides interact with water, fat, and proteins, improving gel formation and water retention, and enabling the development of low-salt and low-fat products. Replacing saturated fats with vegetable oils is also an option, but it requires techniques like Pickering emulsion or encapsulation to maintain product quality. These strategies aim to reduce or replace synthetic additives and ingredients that can potentially harm health. Dietary fiber offers numerous health benefits, including gut health improvement, calorie reduction, and blood glucose and lipid level regulation. Natural plant extracts not only enhance oxidative stability but also reduce potential carcinogens as antioxidants. Controlling protein and lipid bioavailability is also considered, especially for specific consumer groups like infants, the elderly, and individuals engaged in physical training with dietary management. Future research should explore the full potential of dietary fiber, encompassing synthetic additive substitution, salt and animal fat reduction, and nutritional enhancement. Additionally, optimal sources and dosages of polysaccharides should be determined, considering their distinct properties in interactions with water, proteins, and fats. This holistic approach holds promise for improving meat product quality with minimal processing.

Corni fructus is often distributed or processed in the form of dried fruit. However, Corni fructus is hard to develop due to its distinctive sour, bitter, and astringent taste. The aim of this study was to develop a puree to broaden the utilization of fresh Corni fructus. Manufacturing and quality characteristics of Sansuyu jam made from puree were investigated. Seeded Corni fructus pulp consisted of 20 to 26% whole fruit. The moisture and sugar contents of pulp were 52~63% and $15{\sim}31^{\circ}Brix$, respectively. Sterilized distilled water was added to seeded pulp to achieve a constant solids content in the puree. As the pectin content was low as $0.14{\pm}0.01%$, gelling agent was added to produce jam. The moisture content of the puree increased to 83~88%. The sugar content was reduced to $10^{\circ}Brix$. There was no significant difference in pH. DPPH radical scavenging activities of the puree according to ripening rate at a concentration of 100 ppm were 47.92% and 50.96%, respectively. The preference degree was $5.03{\pm}0.97$ at a ripening ratio of 50:50, 2% pectin, and 0.2% carrageenan. These results imply that Corni fructus pulp puree may be appropriate for development as a natural food product.

To investigate the application of biochemical markers' and small-sample methods using whole-wheat flours for screening in early generation in Korean wheat breeding system, 74 Korean wheats, including cultivars, local breeding lines and experimental lines, were analyzed. Seed storage protein and amylose contents of grains were evaluated. Biochemical makers, including granule bound starch synthase (GBSS), high molecular weigh glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) and friabilin were also evaluated by using one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacryla-mide gel electrophoresis with a single kernel. The small­sample methods, including modified SDS-sedimentation test (MST), micro-alkaline water retention capacity (AWRC) and whole-wheat flour swelling volume (WSV) were also tested in this study. Protein content, MST and AWRC was $11.0 - 15.8\%$, 2.7 - 26.2 ml and $71.9 - 109.7\%$, respectively. Apparent and total amylose content and WSV was $20.6 - 25.0\%$, $26.1 - 32.4\%$ and 9.0 - 16.9 ml, respectively. There were highly significant correlations between MST and AWRC (r=0.592, P<0.001), but Korean wheats showed no significant difference in protein content, amylose content and small-sample methods. In the biochemical markers, Korean wheats contained all three GBSS encoded by Wx loci, except for Suwon 252. Korean wheats showed the high frequency ($58.1\%$) of 1Dx2.2 + 1Dy12 subunits of HMW-GS. Friabilin band was present in 46 lines ($62.2\%$) and absent in 28 lines ($37.8\%$). Friabilin-absence lines showed the higher MST (14.9 ml) and AWRC ($92.1\%$) value than friabilin-presence lines (8.5 ml and $82.4\%$, respectively).

Mature haptoglobin (Hp) is a plasma glycoprotein and acts as an antioxidant by scavenging cell-free hemoglobin (Hb). Prohaptoglobin (proHp) is an unprocessed Hp precursor which is present a little in circulation. However, the biological function of proHp remains unknown. To investigate the structural and functional differences between proHp and Hp, we prepared recombinant proHp isoforms and compared their sialic acid content and Hb-binding capacity with those of mature isoforms. When proHp samples were analyzed by Western blot under non-reducing conditions, proHp1 was detected as one band of approximately 130 kDa and proHp2 as multiple bands >200 kDa, in the manner of mature Hp1-1 and Hp2-2, respectively. On the native polyacrylamide gel under non-reducing and non-denaturing conditions, both proHp isoforms migrated more slowly than their mature Hp counterparts. In addition, the lectin-based ELISA assay demonstrated that the content of sialic acid in proHp1 and proHp2 was much less than in Hp1-1 and Hp2-2. The Hb-binding capacity of proHp was also lower than those of mature Hp. These findings indicate that proHp and Hp are similar in the size and polymerization pattern, but different in sialic acid content and Hb-binding activity. It suggests precursor proHp may exert different functions in circulation than does mature Hp.

The model foods were prepared by simulating mositure, protein and starch, and they were heated for 30 mins, at $80^{\circ}C$ and then cooled at $25^{\circ}C$ in water bath. Their rheological properties were investigated by the use of Brookfield wide-gap rotational viscometer at $30{\sim}60^{\circ}C$, and the rotation speed ranged from 0.6 to 6 rpm and solid content ranged from 8% to 11%, the results obtained were as follows. 1. All the model foods ($P_1S_3$, $P_2S_2$, $P_1S_1$, $P_2S_1$, $P_3S_1$, $P_4S_0$) exhibited pseudoplastic behaviors with yeild stress and were thixotropic foods which showed time - dependent structural decays, but the starch food of 8 ~ 11 % solid content did not show the flow behavior. 2. The correlation between the rheological parameters and the protein content of model foods in various moisture content did not appeared a constant relationship. 3. The change of shear stress against shear rate in high starch foods was larger than that in high protein foods and the structure at initial shear time was decayed with a quatic equation according to the Tiu's Model and structural decay was in parallel with the increase of shear rate. 4. The temperature dependency of the apparent viscosity of $P_1S_2$, and $P_2S_1$ was fully expressed by Arrhenius equation and activation energies of their food were 2.35 and $1.34Kcal/g{\cdot}mol$, respectively.

Finespotted flounder, used for a representative raw fish in spring, is considered comparatively difficult to breed, which causes small Olive flounder and Stone flounder from China, similar kinds of flounders, to appear on the market for sale under the name of 'Finespotted flounder.' The reason lies under the considerations that small Olive flounder and Stone flounder from China are relatively lower priced and in higher supply and demand, being difficult to distinguish from Finespotted flounder when sliced with bones. Thus, the purpose of our thesis is to distinguish Finespotted flounder from similar kinds of fish analyzing the lipid content in slices of raw fish and SDS-PAGE(sodiumdodecylsullipide-polyacrylamide gel eletrophoresis). Upon comparing the main components between sliced Finespotted flounder and similar kinds of fish, such as small Olive flounder and Stone flounder from China, we found that there are no noticeable differences among them in moisture content, and little, if any noticeable differences, in crude protein and ash content(P>0.05). Based on these analyses, we have conclude that commercial raw fish restaurants sell small Olive flounder and Stone flounder under the name of Finespotted flounder. However, a variety of factors have an effect on our analysis, such as the individual characteristics of fish and a seasonal variation. The aim of our analysis is to enhance more accurate distinction criteria, although some fish kinds can be discerned with our present technique of examining lipid content and SDS-PAGE. Through more sophisticated analyses developed by consistent research, we look forward to attaining more accurate techniques for discerning between Finespotted flounder and different kinds of similar fish.
