Brewing method and quality of 10 sample of traditional Dungge-Jang in Kyungsang-Do area were investigated. In order to improve the taste of Dungge-Jang, some amount of boiled bean was added in the Dungge-Jang at early stage of fermentation. The level of amino nitrogen turned out to be low while that of water soluble protein and salt soluble protein was high. Glutamic acid, aspartic acid and proline were the major amino acid in water and salt soluble protein in traditional Dungge-Jang in Kyungsang-Do area. The content of total sugar and free reducing sugar were found to be considerably high, and among the free sugar, glucose was the highest$(2.16{\sim}4.02\;mg/ml)$, followed by maltose and maltotriose. Activities of acid protease and liquefying amylase were $0.13{\sim}1.36$ unit per milliliter and $10.18{\sim}15.19D^{40o}_{30}$ respectively. Result of sensory evaluation showed that the good Dungge-Jang turned out to have well harmonized taste of flavor, sweetness and sourness while the color looked slightly dark and yellow.

The correlation between the bitter taste and the surface tension was found for bitter tasting, aqueous solutions. By the Szyszkowski's equation, the surface tension (STR) and taste curves (JND) were derived more clearly using the Techplot program. The specific capillary activity (log b values) for bitter tasting solutions are negatively correlated to the recognition threshold. It was shown that a more bitter substances has greater capillary activity. The correlation between the recognition threshold $(log\;C_{1})$ and the substance specific constant (a and b values) of sensory (JND) and surface tension values indicates good agreement. This means that the model of surface area adsorption in the solution/air system can apply also for the sensory model microvillus membrane in the mouth.

To develop a new type of surimi with added citrus fruits, we examined the colors, textural properties and sensory evaluations of surimi after production. In the folding test, all samples had good flexibility, which suggested that addition of citrus fruits did not influence the flexibility of surimi. The pH in surimi samples was, in increasing order: lemon(Citrus limon), citron(Citrus junos), tangerine(Citrus unshiu), cumquet(Fortunella japonica var. margarita), and control. The pHs of each citrus fruits and the surimi with added citrus fruits were similar. Lightness increased in the following order: lemon, cumquet, control, citron, and tangerine surimi. Redness was high in the following order: tangerine, cumquet, control, citron, and lemon surimi. Yellowness increased in the following order: tangerine, cumquet, citron, lemon, and control surimi. There were no significant differences between lemon and control surimi. The hardness of surimi was highest in lemon, followed by citron, tangerine, cumquet, and control surimi. Although control surimi was the lowest, there were no significant differences among the samples. In terms of springness, it increased in the following order: tangerine, citron, control, lemon, and cumquet, but there were no significant differences among the samples. In sensory evaluation, overall acceptability decreased in the following order: cumquet, tangerine, control, citron, and lemon. Surimi containing cumquet got the best score in colors, textural properties, and taste except flavor. All samples got positive results in sensory ova luations, except for textural properties and taste of lemon and citron. Here, we confirm that surimi can be made with added citrus fruits, although we should examine in detail the quantities of added lemon and citron in a later study.

Moisturizing the skin is one of the most important functions of skincare cosmetics, because water plays a significant role in keeping the skin healthy. There are various humectants including polyol (glycerin and 1,3-butylene glycol), water-soluble polymers, and botanical extracts. It is well known that the increased amount of polyol in lotion for obtaining high moisturizing effect gives a sticky feeling to the skin. Therefore, a few humectants that can give high moisturizing effect without a sticky feeling for lotion formula is available. On the other hand, oil-based lipstick is well known to have a difficulty to contain a large amount of hydrophilic humectants, because the humectants is unable to be mixed well into oil-based lipsticks and give the lips a peculiar taste. There are newly developed humectants, polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene dimethyl ether (EPDME) that can solve these problems describable above. EPDME is a random copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. EPDME gives a low sticky feeling with a high moisturizing effect when it is used in lotion. As a remarkable character, EPDME can show not only a preventing effect on rough and dry skin, but also a improving effect upon the use for 1-4 weeks. EPDME can show a synergistic effect with glycerin on preventing to rough and dry skin. Since EPDME can be dissolved in oil-based formulation and used as an ingredient of lipsticks, EPDME can give a moisturizing effect that allows lip to be healthy condition. EPDME can also give no peculiar taste even upon the use of a large amount. EPDME is a useful cosmetic ingredient that can show a good skin care effect in both water-based formula and oil-based formula. EPDME of which polarity can be controllable is expected to be used for various cosmetic applications in near future.

This study investigates coffee consumers' perceptions of coffee shops, using the Importance-Performance Analysis and the Fishbein Attitude Model approach. A survey was carried out in coffee shops(2010, 12/6~12/20), and 175 out of 200 copies of questionnaire were returned from the coffee shops. After excluding 27 unusable cases which had an unacceptable level of missing data, 148 cases were used for analysis. The IPA showed that an attractive facade, toilet cleanliness, coffee freshness, coffee taste were included in the area of maintaining good results while coffee price was in the area of concentrating efforts, which coffee shop managers should improve. Also, the analysis using the Fishbein attitude model showed that coffee taste, an attractive facade, toilet cleanliness, and coffee freshness were in order of importance, and Starbucks, Angelinus, Caffebene, and Pascucci are in order of brand preference. Although this study has some limitations(such as self-report, common method bias), it shows significant implications to coffee shop managers.

The production rates of leavening gases and textures of cookies were investigated with various chemical leavening agents(baking powders). The chemical leavening agents could be divided into three group of a fast-acting group such as potassium bicarbonate, tartaric acid, aluminium ammonium sulfate, and fumaric acid, a slow-acting group such as ammonium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, $glucono-{\delta}-lactone$, and ammonium chloride. and a double-acting group such as anhydro monocalcium phosphate, disodium dihydrogenpyrophosphate, and aluminium potassium sulfate according to the different production rate of gases. The leavening rate of ammonium bicarbonate, which was the highest of all leavening agents used in this experiment, was 131.25%. But its after-taste in a cookie was not good due to the residual ammonia. $Glucono-{\delta}-lactone$ only had no after-taste. The higher leavening rate, the more peaks in texture profile graph. Ammonium bicarbonate showed the most peaks in this experiment. It was found that the number of peak had correlation with brittleness of cookies $(r^2=0.8176)$ and brittleness of cookies was different as to various chemical leavening agents.
