Effects of sangwhang mushroom (Phellinus linteus) extract on quality and functionality of ramyon (deep-fried noodle) were investigated by adding 17.5(v/w; II) and 35%(v/w; III) sangwhang mushroom extracts. Although little differences were generally observed in chemical compositions of ramyon samples II, III, and control, potassium contents of samples II and III were lower than control. Content of $(1{\rightarrow}3),\;(1{\rightarrow}4)\;and\;(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-glucan$, major functional component of sangwhang mushroom, increased in proportion to amount of extract added, 2.04 and $3.69{\mu}g/g$ in samples II and III, respectively, much higher than $0,09{\mu}g/g$ of control. Lightness (L) decreased, whereas redness (a) and yellowness (b) increased with increasing amount of extract added. Ramyons containing extract showed higher preference than control in texture analysis (hardness and tension) and sensory evaluation (taste and texture).

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of feeding eosungcho (Houttuynia cordata Thunb) powder on the meat quality of porks at chilled storage. Experimental groups were divided into control group (0%, C), 5% (T1) and 10% (T2) eosungcho powder feeding group, and then administered for 12 weeks. The results of sensory evaluation for softening value and scorched smell showed the highest preference in T1 group. Overall acceptability was also the highest in T1 group than the others. Physicochemical components were analyzed for pork loins that were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 23 days after vacuum packing. The moisture contents of pork loins were higher in T1 group than the others. Crude lipid contents were lower in T1 and T2 groups than the control group. The pH values were not significantly different in experimental groups during storage days. The Hunt L and a values increased significantly according to storage days. The Hunt b value was increased for the initial storage days but it did not change after 9 storage days. The Warmer-Bratzler share force of all experimental groups were greatly decreased between 2 and 9 storage days and then little exchanged afterwards.

Effect of different levels (0 ,0.05, 0.15, 0.25%) of xanthan gum on kakdugi fermentation was investigated by analyzing physicochemical and sensory characteristics during fermentation at 2$0^{\circ}C$. During fermentation, pH was maintained higher, and total acidity and number of lactic acid bacteria, maintained lower in xanthan gum groups, especially in 0.05% addition group than control. Free sugar amount were higher in xanthan gun groups than control, and glucose and fructose which were the major free sugars, decreased rapidly during fermentation, whereas mannitol increased in all samples, especially in xanthan gum groups. Liquid content of kakdugi was smaller in 0.05% xanthan gum group than control. Viscosity of kakdugi liquid decreased rapidly whereas initial viscosity was maintained in xanthan gum groups. Hardness decreased during fermentation, but at the 7th day of fermentation was higher in 0.05% xanthan gum group than control. The result of sensory evaluation shows that there were no significant difference in sour odor, moldy, sour taste and savory taste among samples. Starch taste was higher in 0.15% or 0.25% xanthan gum, but there is no difference in 0.05% group, compared to control. Overall preference until the 5th day of fermentation, xanthan gum group was not significantly different from that of control but at the 7th day of fermentation, 0.05% addition group was significantly higher than control.

Blueberry Makgeolli was made with rice by adding different amounts of blueberries, and the fermentation characteristics of Makgeolli were studied during the fermentation process. The pH was the highest (6.6) at the beginning of the fermentation and decreased when the ratio of blueberries increased. The pH was remarkably reduced until the second day, and remained constant until the seventh day of fermentation. The total acidity was significantly increased until the fourth day of fermentation, and remained constant until the seventh day. Sugar contents ($^{\circ}Brix$) and reducing sugar reached the maximum after 2 days of fermentation, and gradually decreased until the seventh day. Alcohol content of control (0% blueberries) increased continuously until the seventh day of fermentation and was at 13.4%. Alcohol content of 20% blueberry Makgeolli reached the maximum on the 4th day of fermentation and slowly decreased to 10.2% until the seventh day. Total viable bacterial cell counts and yeast cell counts showed the maximum values at the third day of fermentation. In sensory evaluation, the color of the control sample was the most favored by the panelists whereas 20% blueberry sample was the least favored. There were no significant differences in flavor and taste, but overall preference was high in Makgeolli with less than 10% of blueberries.

We evaluated the physicochemical properties of four varieties of muskmelons (Thankyou, Beauty, Picnic, Sympony) during storage at $7^{\circ}C$. We stored Thankyou, Sympony, and Beauty varieties for 28 days at $7^{\circ}C$, while the Picnic variety was stored for 21 days. After the storage period, the mineral content of the Thankyou variety changed the least, by 2.36%, while that of the Sympony and Picnic varieties changed the most. The Thankyou variety also lost the least amount of free sugar content during storage. The Sympony variety had the highest vitamin C content at the beginning of the storage (26.0 mg%/100 g). After 14 days of storage, there was little difference in the vitamin C content of the varieties, which ranged from 11.5 to 12.5 mg%/100 g. The Picnic variety, which had the highest respiratory quotient, indicated lower storability than the other varieties. In a sensory evaluation, the Thankyou variety was considered to be the best in terms of consumer preference. However, the stem water loss seen in this variety tends to be the first thing that consumers see and may determine its merchantable quality.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of white bread made with flour of wheat cultured with Pleurotus ostreatus(POW). The property of the wheat used for the solid-state cultivation of the Pleurotus ostreatus was examined. The hydration time of wheat with cold water was 10 hours, with a final moisture content of 39%, which was much less than the optimum moisture content for mycelial growth. However, hot water soaking reduced the required hydration time of the wheat, and elevated the moisture content to 65% within 90~120 min. The POW was composed of 7.2% moisture, 15.4% protein, 1.1% fat, 1.7% ash and 2.9% fiber. The POW was substituted for wheat flour in white bread recipes at weight percentages of 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%. The weight, volume and fermentation of the dough tended to decrease with increasing POW content. The color of the bread crust and crumb darkened with increasing POW content. A sensory evaluation showed a high preference for the white bread made with 5% POW, indicating that the addition of 5% POW to flour for bread dough could improve the quality characteristics of white bread. These study results also provide useful information for using the flour of wheat cultured with Pleurotus ostreatus as an ingredient source for food processing.

To enhance the commercialization of fresh cut kimchi cabbage, the short-term storage effect of cut kimchi cabbage treated with $Ca^{2+}$ was studied. Cut kimchi cabbages ($3{\times}3$ cm) were treated with 2% calcium chloride (Ca), ascorbic acid (As), citric acid (Ct), and calcium chloride and citric acid (Ca/Ct), were put inside LDPE bags, and stored at $5^{\circ}C$ for 6 weeks. The weights reduced about 0.13~0.72%, and the ratio was the lowest in the Ca/Ct treatment. The reduction ratios of soluble soilds were 18.85~35.00%, and were the lowest in the Ca/Ct treatment. The titratable acidity decreased in all the treatments. The L values decreased, but a and b values of Hunter colorimeter increased in all the treatments. The preference for Ca/Ct treatment was the highest among all the treatments in the sensory evaluation. The marketing shelf-life of cut kimchi cabbage can be prolonged by the combination treatment of $Ca^{2+}$ and citric acid.

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of black Doragi-apple juice to increase the utilization of Doragi, which is known as a high-functional horticultural crop. To prepare the black Doragi, it was steamed for 15 days at $60^{\circ}C$ and was then dried at $30^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. The five types of black Doragi-apple juice were prepared based on different mixing ratios of black Doraji extract, apple extract, and jujube extract. The mixing ratios of black Doraji extract, apple extract, and jujube extract were 3:3:1, 4:2:1, 2:4:1, 2:2:1, and 2:6:1 for samples A, B, C, D, and E, respectively. The pH and acidity of black Doragi-apple juice were within the ranges of 3.9-4.15 and 1.26-1.51%, respectively. Black Doraji-apple juice E showed the highest sugar content (9.33 $^{\circ}Brix$), reducing sugar content (85.05 mg/mL), and sugar content/acid ratio (6.98). Based on the sensory evaluation, sample C was most preferable in terms of color, taste, sugar-acid ratio, and overall preference, except for the flavor. Black Doragi-apple juice D showed a higher total polyphenol content (706 ${\mu}g/mL$) than sample C (586.22 ${\mu}g/mL$), but there was no statistically significant difference between samples C and D in terms of antioxidant activities. Therefore, it is suggested that the best mixing ratio of black Doraji extract, apple extract, and jujube extract for the production of the best black Doragi-apple juice with excellent taste and antioxidant activities is 2:4:1 (sample C).

To develop tofu enhanced nutrition, storage stability and bioactivity, the soft tofu supplemented with red ginseng extract was prepared. Then, quality characteristics including storage stability, physical and chemical property, antioxidative activity, and sensory evaluation were measured. The pH and acidity of control tofu without red ginseng extract were not different from those of tofu supplemented with red ginseng extract during storage. The aerobic bacteria in the control tofu were detected from 10 days of storage whereas the number of total aerobic bacteria was reduced or not detected in the tofu added red ginseng extract during storage. The lightness and redness of the tofu supplemented with red ginseng extract were lower than those of control, but yellowness was higher. The addition of red ginseng extract did not also affect the texture of tofu, and increased lipid peroxidation inhibition and DPPH radical scavenging activity. Although the soft tofu manufactured with red ginseng extract showed a lower sensory preference in supplementation over 0.20% due to color, there was not much difference found until 0.18% red ginseng extract addition.
