Chestnut processing plants have wasted large amounts of chestnut inner skin waste, which contains chestnut flesh. To review the availability of the chestnut flesh as a food ingredient, We have analyzed the physiochemical characteristics of the chestnut powder extracted from inner skin waste. Then, we have examined on tastes and other sensory tests using breads, noodles and jellies made from various percents of chestnut powder. The results are as follows; The water absorbing capability and amylose degradability of the powder from the inner skin waste are 40% and 8% higher than those of the core chestnut powder, respectively. Also, the power from the inner skin waste shows similar characteristics with one of the core chestnut in iodine reaction. The breads, noodles and jellies from the chestnut powder have similar characteristics in flavor, hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, chewing property, and gumminess with the traditional ones.

Objective: Different dry-aging methods [traditional dry-aging (TD), simplified dry-aging (SD), and SD in an aging bag (SDB)] were compared to investigate the possible use of SD and/or SDB in practical situations. Methods: Sirloins from 48 Hanwoo cows were frozen (Control, 2 days postmortem) or dry-aged for 28 days using the different aging methods and analyzed for chemical composition, total aerobic bacterial count, shear force, inosine 5′-monophosphate (IMP) and free amino acid content, and sensory properties. Results: The difference in chemical composition, total aerobic bacterial count, shear force, IMP, and total free amino acid content were negligible among the 3 dry-aged groups. The SD and SDB showed statistically similar tenderness, flavor, and overall acceptability relative to TD. However, SDB had a relatively higher saleable yield. Conclusion: Both SD and SDB can successfully substitute for TD. However, SDB would be the best option for simplified dry-aging of low-marbled beef with a relatively high saleable yield.

The effects of medicinal mushroom (Sparassis crispa) powder supplementation on the rheological property of dough and the quality of bread were investigated. Naturally dried S. crispa powders (NDSCP) and freeze-dried ones (FDSCP) were prepared. Farinograph profiles of dough showed that mushroom powder addition at levels higher than 1% led to reduced dough stability suggested by decreased development time and increased weakness. The incorporation of S. crispa powders was significantly (p<0.05) lower compared to other mushrooms which might be attributed to its high content of beta-glucan. FDSCP was chosen over NDSCP because of its fragrant flavor which could be ascribed to the preservation of volatile polyphenol components. The quality of FDSCP bread was evaluated with respect to specific volume, texture, color, and organoleptic qualities. The specific volume of bread with S. crispa powder decreased compared to the control, while textural properties, such as hardness, chewiness, and gumminess, were enhanced. Sensory evaluation showed that 0.3% FDSCP incorporation presented the highest bread quality. With its daily consumption, S. crispa supplemented bread can provide consumers with multiple health benefits.

This study was performed to develop a functional stirred yoghurt prepared from skim milk added with loquat(Eriobotrya japonica Lindley). Skim milk containing $15\%$ loquat extract was fermented by the mixed strains of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus acidophilus, and then loquat flesh and oligosaccharide were added to the yoghurt base. Sensory scores of the stirred yoghurt containing $15\%$ loquat flesh and $20\%$ oligosaccharide were higher than other groups in sweet taste, sour taste and overall acceptability. When the levels of oligosaccharide of the stirred yoghurts added with $15\%$ loquat flesh were increased, the L value(brightness) and a value (redness) of the stirred yoghurt decreased, but the b value(yellowness) increased. The hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and resilience of the $15\%$ loquat flesh stirred yoghurt added with $20\%$ oligosaccharide were higher than others.

Applying ginger to processed foods to improve health is limited due to its pungent odor. In this study, fermented gingers were prepared using lactic acid bacteria from dairy products or kimchi and their chemical and sensory properties were examined. Adding dried ginger or fermented gingers (GSt, GLa, GLm) to plain yogurt made them less tasty and lowered the overall acceptability of yogurt except GLp. For all fermented gingers including GLp, the characteristic flavors of the ginger decreased by fermentation so adding fermented ginger into yogurt did not affect its flavor significantly. Thus GLp would be expected to be a food ingredient instead of dried ginger without lowering organoleptic qualities. The content of 6-gingerol, a bioactive component in ginger, decreased in all fermented gingers. However, 6-shogaol, which increased in GSt, GLa, and GLm, was not detected in GLp.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the quality characteristics of Sprouted Brown Rice Dasik(SBRD) manufactured with various addition levels of honey and Yujacheong(Yuja syrup and Yuja sarcocarp) in accordance with the traditional method for the preparation of Korean Dasik(a kind of cookie). The nutritional components, color value, physical tests, volatile compounds, and sensory evaluation of SBRD to which Yujacheong was added were conducted. The results were summarized as follows. In SBRD to which Yujacheong had been added, the moisture contents and crude fat content did not differ significantly among the sample groups, and the contents of crude protein and crude ash increased with increasing additions of Yuja syrup and Yuja sarcocarp. The pH(p<0.001) and sweetness(p<0.001) were significantly higher in sample D1 than in samples D2 and D4. The L color value was highest in D2, the a value was highest in D3, and the b value was highest in sample D2. The texture property analysis showed that the cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness of SBRD to which Yujacheong was added were all significantly higher compared to sample D1. According to the results of our volatile analysis, the D1 and other experimental groups evidenced different flavors and antibacterial compositions. According to the results of our sensory evaluation, the appearance of the D1 sample was superior to the other samples. However, flavor, taste, texture, and overall preference were higher in the samples to which Yuja syrup and Yuja sarcocarp were added. These results indicate that SBRD to which Yujacheong was added, and particularly those to which Yuja syrup was added, is superior to Dasik prepared with honey in terms of flavor and taste, and this method will improve the flavor and preparation time, due to its lower pH.

This study was conducted to prolong the edible period of Kimchi by adding high molecular chitosan(MW 800,000) and the product was evaluated for acid production(pH, titratable acidity), number of total viable cell, lactic acid bacteria, coli-form bacteria and sensory property during Kimchi fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$. Kimchi added with the chitosan showed a retarded decrease in pH and increase in titratable acidity. Total microbial count and lactic acid bacteria of Kimchi added with chitosan(0.3%) were about 1.3 log(cfu/g) lower than those of control throughout the fermentation of 6 to 9 days. After 15 days of fermentation, coliform bacteria of all control and samples were decreased as 1.6∼2.3 log (cfu/g) level. Kimchi samples which were added with 0.1 % chitosan and fermented at 10$^{\circ}C$ for 6 days showed not only effective in prolonging the edible periods but also better sensory scores in acceptability.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of various leaf powders on chocolate by analyzing quality characteristics, antioxidant activities, and sensory characteristics. Methods: Pine needles, mulberry leaves, ramie leaves, barley leaves, and squash leaves were freeze-dried, powdered, and added to the chocolate. Results: Water contents of all leaf powder-added groups were significantly higher than that of the control (15.78%). The pH values of chocolate with leaf powder were lower than that of the control (6.33) while that of mulberry leaf chocolate (6.56) was higher than that of the control. In color measurement, L-value, a-value, and b-value were highest in pine needle chocolate (30.31, 3.52, and 4.78, respectively). The ${\Delta}E$ value (total color difference compared to white board) was the highest in squash leaf chocolate (69.51) and significantly different from that of the control (67.69). The hardness of leaf powder-added chocolate was lower than that of the control (6.84 N), except for pine needles. In the antioxidant activity analysis, chocolate with pine needles and squash leaves had higher polyphenols, flavonoids, and ABTS radical scavenging antioxidant activity than those of the control. Overall consumer acceptability was the most preferred in the control compared to the other groups. However, chocolate with mulberry and barley leaves also received high scores (5.60 and 5.40, respectively) for overall acceptability. Conclusion: It can be concluded that chocolate with barley leaves is desirable for making functional chocolate due to its high consumer preference and positive effects on improving antioxidant activities.

Quality characteristics of white breads added with different levels of jujube extracts were investigated. Addition of jujube extract significantly decreased L-value, and increased a and b-values. Addition levels up to 70% did not have significant effects on the texture of breads. Significant increases in the hardness, chewiness, and gumminess were observed in 100% jujube-added group. Additive levels over 50% jujube showed good sensory scores compared with control bread in color, flavor, taste, and general palatability. Textural property increased with increasing amount of jujube extract. Results showed substitution of 50-70% jujube extract for water improved bread quality.

Cherry powder (obtained from ground fruit of Prunus serrulata L. var. spontanea Max. wils.), which is a natural functional material, was used in muffin manufacturing at different concentrations from 0, 3, 5, 7, and 10% (w/w). Muffin was evaluated for their sensory property and physical quality. The antioxidative activity measured by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity of muffin increased as the concentrations of cherry powder increased. As the concentration of cherry powder increased, the mechanical characteristics of the muffin, such as hardness increased, but gumminess and chewiness decreased. Lightness (L) and yellowness (b) of muffin decreased as the concentration of cherry powder increased, whereas the redness (a) increased. The muffins containing 3, 5, 7, and 10% cherry powder had acceptable sensory properties, such as color, flavor, taste, softness, moisture, and overall acceptability. The results exhibited that adding the cherry powder into the muffin increased antioxidant activity. The highest quality improvement was obtained by incorporating 5% (w/w) of cherry powder into the muffin formula.
