A vacuum-packed seasoned-dried product of sea mussel, Mytilus edulis, caught in the southern coasts of Korea, was prepared and stored at $35^{\circ}C$ for 70 days to test quality stability. Sea mussel, purchased from Jagalchi fish market in Busan, was steamed, shucked and eliminated byssus. The sea mussel meat was seasoned with the seasoning solution prepared with sugar, salt, sorbitol, glycerol, monosodium glutamate, 5'-ribonucleotide and smoke flavor (Smoke-EZ, Alpha Foods Co., Ltd.). After seasoning, the meat was dried at $52-58^{\circ}C$ for three hours, vacuum-packed in the laminated plastic film bag($14{\times}15cm$), and finally sterilized at $120^{\circ}C$ for 26 minutes in hot water circulating retort. The moisture, water activity, color value(L, a and b value), texture, TBA value and viable bacterial count of the products were determined during the period of storage at $35^{\circ}C$. From the results obtained, it became clear that the product could be preserved in a good quality for 70 days at $35^{\circ}C$, though a slight decrease in moisture content and development of a pale brown color was resulted. Judging from the sensory evaluation on flavor, the products containing smoke flavor were most desirable.

Lactic acid bacteria(LAB) fermented food was prepared with milk or egg white powder(EWP) and added with freeze drying protectant(FDP). 0.2% of Tween 80 or 1% of ascorbate was added to milk sample and 3% of raffinose or 1% of ascorbate was added to EWP sample. Effects of FDP on sensory property, volatile aroma compounds and physical property of LAB fermented food were investigated. In case of non-freeze dried samples, sensory properties of milk sample with ascorbate were slightly better than those of reference sample(milk), while sensory properties of EWP sample or EWP sample with FDP were slightly inferior to reference sample. Sensory properties of all of the freeze dried/reconstituted samples were not different. Sensory properties of milk sample with ascorbate were reduced by freeze drying/reconstitution, while those of sample with ascorbate were not changed. Although all of the volatile aroma compounds were reduced by freeze drying, the residual ratio was slightly different between milk samples and EWP samples. Difference in volatile aroma compounds between milk samples and EWP samples before freeze drying was relatively large, while difference between two sample groups after freeze drying/reconstitution was relatively small. Rheological properties of milk samples were markedly changed by freeze drying/reconstitution, while those of EWP samples were changed slightly.

This study was undertaken to investigate the physicochemical properties of chitosans produced from chitins which were prepared from shrimp shell under the 4 different conditions(HCl concentration : 1 N, 4 N and reaction temperature $0^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C$). The effects of chitosan on the properties of Kakdugi during storage also were examined. Viscosity of chitosan was markedly different$(313.1{\sim}98.8\;cps)$ depending on the production conditon. Chitosan solution showed pseudoplastic property. The infrared(IR) spectrums of chitosans prepared under the conditions of this study were very simillar, and the degree of deacetylation of chitosan was relatively high$(92{\sim}96%)$ independent of the extraction conditions of chitin. As the storage period was extended, markedly lower pH and higher titratable acidity were resulted in all the groups. Throughout the storage period, pH and titratable acidity of kakdugies with chitosan were higher and lower, respectively than those of control. Viscosity of kakdugi juice was significantly different among the groups and as the storage period increased, the juice viscosity decreased. At the eighth day of storage, the juice of control group was more viscous than those of kakdugies containing chitosan. Throughout the storage period the numbers of total microorganisms and of microorgarnisms of Leuconostoc genus in control kakdugi tended to be higher and lower, respectively than those in kakdugies containing chitosan. The growth of Lac. plantarum was slightly lower in kakdugi containing chitosan C produced at low HCl concentration and high temperature compared to the others.

In the development of enteral foods for the patients with diarrhea, soybean hull, by-products of soybean processing, was used to prepare crude dietary fiber extracts (soybean hull fiber, SHF). Total dietary fiber content of SHF is 85% and their composition are 86.1% cellulose, 8.1% hemi-cellulose, and 4.7% lignin. The effects of SHF on the prevention of diarrhea were studied in animal. Spraque-Dawley (SD) rats were fed AIN93G diets containing 5% dietary fiber for 3days simultaneously inducing diarrhea with the phenolphthalein Mg citrate solution. On day 4, feces were collected at different time point. Dietary fibers used for the animal study were SHF, soybean cotyledon fiber (SCF), psyllium husk fiber (PHF), and chicory fiber (CF). ${\alpha}$-cellulose was used as a control. Body weight gain, calorie consumed and food efficiency ratio among the experimental groups were not different. However, water content in the feces of SHF group was significantly lower by 10%, compared with other groups at 24hrs. time point. This effect was even greater in the feces collected later than 24 hrs. time point. SHF seems to have a greater effects on slow the symptom of diarrhea. Based on the previous results, enteral food enriched with SHF were prepared and its effect was compared with other commercially available products from domestic or imported ones. Weight changes among experimental groups were not different, but the moisture content of feces consumed SHF enriched products were lower than that of other products. Approximately 10% decrease in water content was observed from feces collected at 24 hr time point. According to the sensory evaluation, overall acceptability of the enteral food enriched with SHF was 3.24 out of 5 indicating that taste of this product is acceptable.

This study was aimed to determine microbiological Quality by adding green tea extracts to cook-chill foods. For this study, Pyeonyuk were blended with green tea extracts to different concentrations of 0, 2 and 3% and prepared in a cook-chill system. Microbiological effects of green tea extracts were assessed during production process by measuring process time, temperature, pH and A wand determining total plate counts and coliforms. Effects of green tea extracts on total plate counts and coliforms were observed during cold storage at 3$^{\circ}C$ for five days. Green tea extracts improved the microbiological Quality and showed antibacterial properties when they are added to Pyeonyuk prepared in a cook-chill production system. The use of green tea extracts can be further explored as a means of enhancing freshness and Quality in cook-chill foods.

Histamine is a kind of primary biogenic amine arising from the decarboxylation of the amino acid L-histidine. The toxicology of histamine and its occurrence and formation in foods are especially emphasized in fermented foods. In this study, the biosensor for detection of histamine with functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) was developed. We also searched for an appropriate insoluble substrate to immobilize the enzyme. The developed biosensor showed a detection limit of $0.1{\mu}M$ hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme reactor was prepared with diamine oxidase immobilized on insoluble carriers including CNBr-activated sepharose 4B, calcium alginate, and controlled pore size glass beads. The coupling efficiency of CNBr-activated sepharose 4B, calcium alginate, and controlled pore size glass beads were 48.5%, 40.3%, and 51.0%, respectively. In addition, the response currents on histamine with each immobilized enzyme reactor prepared with CNBr-activated sepharose 4B, calcium alginate, and controlled pore size glass beads were 120 nA, 110 nA, and 140 nA at $100{\mu}M$ of histamine concentration, respectively. Therefore, it is suggested that controlled pore size glass beads are the best carriers for immobilizing diamine oxidase to detect histamine in this biosensor.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermented food was prepared from milk or egg white powder (EWP) and added with five kinds of freeze drying protectant (FDP). Effects of FDP on growth and acid production of LAB were investigated. Effects of FDP on organoleptic properties of LAB fermented food were also studied. (1) Some of FDPs showed protective effect against damage to Lactobacillus acidophilus in LAB fermented food during freeze drying, while FDP did not show any protective effect against damage to L. acidophilus during freezing. This protective effect differed with substrate and concentration of FDP (2) Optimum concentration of Tween 80 and ascorbate added to milk sample was 0.2 % (W/V) and 1 %(W/V), respectively. Optimum concentration of raffinose and ascorbate added to EWP sample was 3 %(W/V) and 1 %(W/V), respectively (3) Among FDPs added to L. casei fermented food, raffinose and ascorbate added to EWP sample showed FDP effect. Among FDPs added to L. delbrueckii fermented food, raffinose added to EWP sample showed FDP effect. (4) Samples added with MSG showed MSG taste. Milk sample added with ascorbate showed slightly more acid taste than reference sample, while taste of EWP sample added with ascobate did not differ with reference sample. Tween 80 added to milk sample or EWP sample improved texture of LAB fermented food.

This study evaluated the characteristics and antioxidant properties of cookies prepared with different amounts (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%) of Lentinus edodes water extract (LEWE). The baking loss rate of cookies increased as the amount of LEWE increased (p<0.05). The pH of cookies significantly decreased when amounts of LEWE increased (p<0.05), but spread factor, leavening rate, and moisture content showed no significant difference among the samples. L value and b value of cookies significantly decreased when amounts of LEWE increased (p<0.05), but a value of cookies significantly increased when amounts of LEWE increased (p<0.05). Hardness was higher in the 7% LEWE cookies. Chewiness and brittleness increased with increasing LEWE concentration, but cohesiveness and springiness showed no significant differences among the samples. Total polyphenol content and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity significantly increased upon the addition of LEWE (p<0.05). In a sensory evaluation, the appearance, color, and taste of the cookies were rated higher in groups containing 0% LEWE, but the flavor, texture, and overall acceptability scores were highest for cookies with 1% LEWE added. These results suggest that cookies prepared by adding 1-3% LEWE achieve the best sensory evaluation and antioxidant activity.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality and anti-oxidant characteristics of different granule tea variants (WSMGT: granule tea prepared from sea mustard hot water extract; ASMGT: granule tea prepared from sea mustard autoclave extract; WSTGT: granule tea prepared from sea tangle hot water extract; and ASTGT: granule tea prepared from sea tangle autoclave extract) from sea tangle and sea mustard powder. The Color of WSTGT showed the highest $L^*$, $b^*$ values, and the lowest $a^*$ value. The water absorption binding agents in ASMGT were higher than those in WSMGT, WSTGT. and ASTGT. Binding agents on water absorption in ASMGT were higher than those of WSMGT, WSTGT, and ASTGT. The alginic acid content of ASMGT was highest. The total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents of ASMGT and ASTGT were highest. The electron donating ability and ferrous ion chelating activity in WSTGT greatly increased compared to those in the other granules tea variants. These results suggest that pressure extraction can be used in functional foods.

This study shows the application of Ci-ELISA method for monitoring the denaturation of myosin by the frozen treatment in order to differentiate thawed beef from chilled. Hanwoo M.Semitendinosus (n=25) was treated under the two different frozen process as follows; simple frozen treatment (Exp-1) at 4 different temperatures, -10, -20, -50 and $-80^{\circ}C$, respectively, and repeated thawing-refreezing treatment (Exp-2) stored at 4 different temperatures, -10, -20, -50 and $-80^{\circ}C$, respectively. Antibodies (Abs) were produced from rabbits immunized with myosin whole molecule (MWM) isolated from beef round, heavy meromyosin S-1 (S-1) and light meromyosin (LMM) prepared by digestion of MWM. Each immunoglobulin G (IgG) was separated from antiserum. At 6 month storage, IA of anti-MWM IgG for myosin was decreased to 32.67, 32. 23, 51.52 and 34.27% in Exp-1 and to 14.82, 15.61, 25.3 and 23.7% in Exp-2 at -10, -20, -50 and $-80^{\circ}C$, respectively (P<0.05). In Exp-1, the reactivities of anti-LMM IgG were decreased to 25.12, 21.42, 49.05 and 28.96%, and those of Exp-2 were to 11.88, 9.56, 20.63 and 12.64% at -10, -20, -50 and $-80^{\circ}C$, respectively, at 6 times thawing (P<0.05). Conclusively, myosin was denaturated by freezing treatment and LMM or myosin rod part might have suffered from more extreme demage than HMM S-1, and samples at $-50^{\circ}C$ were slightly injured less than others by freezing treatment.
