Pigment concentrates with violet-red color and sweet taste were obtained from purple-fleshed sweet potato(PFSP) using ethyl alcohol and water. Extract from general potato(GP) were used as a control. The relative stability of PFSP pigment concentrate(PFSPPC) in a storage test over 15 days was confirmed in the order of dark > fluorescence > sun-light irradiation. The relative stability of GP pigment concentrate(GPPC) in a storage test over 15 days was confirmed in the order of sun-light > fluorescence > dark storage. The RRP of PFSPPC was higher than that of GPPC, but the color strength of GPPC was 1/2 that of PFSPPC. Treatment of PFSPPC with aluminum potassium sulfate(0.2~0.3%, w/w) best improved its stability. The improved RRPs of PFSPPC were 45.16~47.31% in sun light irradiation, 55.91~60.22% in fluorescence irradiation, and 76.34~75.97% in dark storage conditions. In substituting aluminum potassium sulfate for chitosan, an amount of 0.2~0.3%(w/w) was suitable, giving similar results in improving pigment stability for all concentrates tested. Also, freeze-dried PFSPPC powder was manufactured as a substitute for dextrin, and also as a substitute for chitosan to the extent of 0.25%(w/w). The results of storage stabilite for freeze-dried PFSPPC and GPPC powder over 15 days, irradiation were, PRRs of 74.47~89.36% and 61.54~76.92%, respectively. The stability improving effect of freeze dried PFSPPC powder was confirmed by the results of storage experiments at various conditions. The use of freeze-dried PFSPPC powder was therefore confirmed to be an effective treatment for general foods.

In this study, chunggukjang was made from soybeans and Bacillus natto. This chunggukjang was meant to be consumed as a margarine and butter substitute, to help lower trans-fatty acid (TFA) intake. A freeze-dried garlic product was used during fermentation to aid in removing the smell of the chunggukjang. Chunggukjang has a very low fluidity due to its high viscosity; therefore, we added 3%(w/w) soybean oil to improve the fluidity. We found that the TFA content of the garlic chunggukiang paste was no more than 0.02${\sim}$0.05%, which was low compared to the usual contents of margarine and butter. After 4 weeks of storage the TFA content was 0.03${\sim}$0.08%, and it remained within the limits of the permissible amount. The addition of soybean oil allowed this chunggukjang to be made with greater ease, and the freeze-dried garlic eliminated the negative inherent qualities of the chunggukjang. Therefore, this garlic chunggukjang paste could be considered reasonable for commercial production.

Physico-chemical properties of glucitol fatty acid polyesters (GPE)-one of the potential fat substitutes-were analyzed and compared with conventional edible oil. The refractive Index, apparent viscosity and melting point of S-GPE (soybean oil GPE) were 1.472, 103 cps. at $37^{circ}C\;and\;-53^{\circ}C$, respectively. S-GPE were liquid at room teperature and the Yellowness of S-GPE was slightly stronger than that of soybean oil. The acid value and smoke point of S-GPE were 0.06 and $200^{\circ}C$. To supplement the weak thermal stability of S-PEG, SP-GPE (soybean-palm blended oil GPE) was prepared with soybeanpalm blended oil (70% of soybean oil and 30% of palm oil). The appearance and color of SP-GPE was not much different from S-GPE but the smoke point of that was increased to $210^{\circ}C$. It means that thermal stability of GPE can be enhanced by increasing saturation of the fatty acid composing GPE. Because most of physico-chemical properties of S-GPE or SP-GPE were similar to conventional edible oil, they are expected to be considered as a potential fat substitute with further study for confirming the safety.

The standard cooking method of Soondae, a famous traditional sausage type food in Korea, was proposed and the applicability of porcine plasma and egg white as the substitute of the porcine blood was investigated for the improvement of off-flavor, rancidity, and acceptability of Soondae. Sensory evaluation suggested Soondae prepared with 15% porcine blood most preferred. The cooking yields, water absorption capacity and hardness of plasma and egg white added Soondae were decreased compared with those of original porcine blood Soondae. The overall results of sensory evaluation suggested the possibility of using porcine plasma or egg white as a substitute for the porcine blood in Soondae.

The investigation of the textural characteristics of sponge cake with addition of polymannuronate(obtained from the polysaccharide, component of brown seaweed), were studied in order to assess the potential of polymannuronate as a dietary fiber and fat substitute. Hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of sponge cake were tended to progressively decrease in the response to the addition of polymannuronate. Low-butter treatment with constant level of polymannuronate increased hardness, gumminess, and chewiness while brittleness and springiness decreased. Sensory evaluation of sponge cake indicated that addition of polymannuronate(optimally at 3 and 5 w/w%), enhanced springiness, cohesiveness, and overall acceptability. The overall acceptability decreased P5C, P3C and P1C, P5B and control in the order. These results highlight the potential of polymannuronate as promising dietary fiber and fat substitute in sponge cake without compromising the textural characteristics.

This study assessed effective strategies to reduce the sodium intake among consumers using pork cutlet sauce as a model food system. Original pork cutlet sauce and sodium-reduced sauce (29% reduced by a salt substitute) were analyzed to characterize the sensory properties using descriptive analysis. The effects of sodium-reduction of the sauce, consumer type (nutrition teachers vs. general consumers), information related to the sodium content, serving method, and consumer's health, taste and sodium-related attitudes on the consumer's preference, perception, and intake of the sauce were analyzed using a consumer test. In descriptive analysis, the original and sodium-reduced sauce showed similar sensory characteristics but did not differ in saltiness. In the consumer test, there were no significant differences in the overall preference levels between the two sauces. On the other hand, there were significant differences in preference and perception between nutrition teachers and general consumer groups, which were due largely to their age as well as the health and sodium-related attitudes and nutritional knowledge differences. Sodium-reduced information decreased the perceived saltiness intensity. In addition, reducing sodium intake by serving pork cutlet sauce in a bottle can be an effective strategy because this serving method increased the acceptance and induced the smaller intake of sauce.

This study was carried out to investigate the consumer recognition and consumption of Misitgaru(the traditional powder of roast grain). Data were collected from the 605 housewives(average age, 42.9 years old) residing in Chonbuk area by the self-administered questionnaire. The results from this study were as follows. The respondants were generally concerned regarding Misitgaru as a between-meal snack(33%). And there were recognition on Misitgaru as a weaning food(17%), health food(16%), and substitute food(14%). Of the respondants, good consumers of the Misitgaru were high ratio in age below 30 years old and in number of family member between 6 to 7. Among the demographic variables, age, educational level and housing form especially affected the purchasing place and educational level affected the kinds of mixing cereals. The higher the educational level, the more the kinds of mixing cereals. The methods of storage were significantly different according to age and income level. The older in age and higher in income level, the higher the storage at room temperature.
