Aloe vera has been used worldwide for pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries due to its wide biological activities. However, quality improvement of low fat meat products and their acceptability with added Aloe vera gel (AVG) is scanty. The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility of using fresh AVG on physicochemical, textural, sensory and nutritive qualities of goat meat nuggets. The products were prepared with 0%, 2.5%, and 5% fresh AVG replacing goat meat and were analyzed for proximate composition, physicochemical and textural properties, fatty acid profile and sensory parameters. Changes in lipid oxidation and microbial growth of nuggets were also evaluated over 9 days of refrigerated storage. The results showed that AVG significantly (p<0.05) decreased the pH value and protein content of meat emulsion and nuggets. Product yield was affected at 5% level of gel. Addition of AVG in the formulation significantly affected the values of texture profile analysis. The AVG reduced the lipid oxidation and microbial growth in nuggets during storage. Sensory panelists preferred nuggets with 2.5% AVG over nuggets with 5% AVG. Therefore, AVG up to 2.5% level could be used for quality improvement in goat meat nuggets without affecting its sensorial, textural and nutritive values.

The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between instrumental tenderness parameters and histochemical characteristics in the porcine longissimus dorsi muscle, and to investigate a comparison between tenderness parameters such as the Warner-Bratzler shear-force (WBS) and texture profile analysis (TPA). A negative relationship between WBS and fiber area was observed. However, there was no significant relationship between hardness and muscle fiber area. The percentage of fiber type IIb exhibited a positive correlation with hardness. There was a negative relationship between the type IIa composition percentage and hardness. This study showed that some muscle fiber characteristics were related to WBS and TPA parameters, especially hardness.

In this study, the alkiline water washing condition of mackerel(Scomber japonicus) dark meat was investigated to improve processing conditions of red muscle fish meat paste heating gel. Chemical alkaline water(CWM) and electrolytic alkiline water(EWM, pH 12) were used for washing the mackerel raw meat. Washed meats were minced with 2.5% salt and heated at $90^{\circ}C$/15 min to testing texture profile analysis. Moisture of CWM and EWM was increased with both washing times(p<0.05). Crude lipids and protiens were decreased with washing times. Lightness of chemical alkaline water washed mackerel heated paste gel(CWHPG) was higher than electrolytic alkaline water washed mackerel heated paste gel(EWHPG). Redness and yellowness were more decreased than control meats. Jelly strength of CWHPG and EWHPG was not increased more than 2 times wased meat and was increased with protein decrease. Texture profile analysis, max force1 of CWHPG and EWHPG was higher hardeness than the control meat except gel strains. From these results, it could be suggested that electric alkialine water washing is also effective in advance the red meat paste heating gel process of kamaboko industry.

The aim of this investigation was to examine the antioxidation, physicochemical, and sensory activity of a Korean steamed-rice cake, Sulgidduk, fortified with water extracts from Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) leaf. M. oleifera leaf extracts were added to rice powder at rations of 0.1%, 1% and 10%. To examine antioxidation properties, the scavenging activities of DPPH radicals, hydroxyl radicals, ABTS+ radicals, and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power were investigated. M. oleifera extracts significantly increased the antioxidation activities of Sulgidduk in a dose dependent manner (p<0.05). Physicochemical characteristics were measured by proximate composition, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations. As the concentration of M. oleifera leaf extracts increased, L-values and a-values significantly decreased while b-values increased. Texture profile analysis demonstrated that the control groups showed significantly higher values for hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and adhesiveness as compared with groups containing M. oleifera leaf extract (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, the sample containing 0.1% of M. oleifera leaf extract obtained the best results in overall preference. Taken together, these results suggest that M. oleifera leaf may have the potential to increase the consumer acceptability and the functionality of Sulgidduk.

This study shows the quality changes of Sulgidduk added Cheonnyuncho fruit powder during storage. Sulgidduk was prepared with freeze-dried Cheonnyuncho, rice flour, sugar syrup and salt. The Sulgidduk, which was made with various amounts (0,3,6,9,12%) of added Cheonnyuncho, was examined by the quality of duration during storage. The pH of Cheonnyuncho Sulgidduk decreased as the amounts of Cheonnyuncho fruit powder increased, and also showed a significant decrease as the storage increased. As the amounts of Cheonnyuncho fruit powder increased, lightness (L) decreased while redness (a) and yellowness (b) increased. During the storage period, the lightness (L) and yellowness (b) were increased, but redness (a) was decreased. In the texture profile analysis, the hardness and springiness were decreased with increasing Cheonnyuncho fruit powder, whereas cohesiveness, gumminess and brittleness were increased. However, the tendency of the changes of characteristics during storage was opposite except for springiness. In conclusion, it is suitable to extend the storage period of Sulgidduk added Cheonnyuncho fruit powder.

This study was intended to investigate the characteristics of muffins prepared with allulose which is low-calorie and physiologically functional rare sugar. Volume and specific volume of muffins increased significantly with allulose addition, but not with its contents. Muffin heights also increased as allulose was added more. Baking loss rate and moisture contents were not significantly different among samples. Allulose seemed to have nearly same water holding capacity with sucrose. Lightness of muffin crust and crumb both decreased, but redness and yellowness increased according to allulose, the reducing sugar addition by Maillard reaction. In the texture profile analysis, Hardness of AL100 was higher significantly (p<0.05) and springiness, cohesiveness and fracturability increased according to the allulose contents. In the sensory evaluation, AL0 was the sweetest and AL0 and AL25 got higher overall acceptance score. Physical characteristics were not different (p<0.05) among AL0, Al25 and AL50. As a result, 25% sucrose substitution with allulose can provide low-calorie, anti-hyperglycemic and tasty muffin.

This study investigated the quality and antioxidative properties of a Korean steamed-rice cake, Sulgidduk added with Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extract, and vitamin C. Sulgidduk was prepared by adding Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extract at 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% of rice powder. Antioxidant activities were measured by the scavenging activities of DPPH radicals, $ABTS^+$ radicals, $superoxide^-$ radicals and the reducing power. For analyzing quality characteristics, proximate composition, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations were measured. The antioxidative effect of the Sulgidduk significantly increased as the addition level increased, compared to the original Sulgidduk (p<0.001). As the content of Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extracts increased, L-values significantly decreased while the a-value and b-value significantly increased (p<0.001). For the texture profile analysis, the control group had a significantly higher value for hardness as compared to the Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extract-added groups (p<0.05). Springiness, chewiness and adhesiveness were not significantly different among the samples. In the sensory evaluation, the samples containing 0.1% and 0.2% Prunus yedoensis Matsumura extracts obtained better results in attribute. From these results, we suggest that Prunus yedoensis Matsumura is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and the functionality of Sulgidduk.

The purpose of this study was to compare the physicochemical properties of sausage manufactured with carp (Carassius carassius) muscle and pork. Sausages were prepared using either 100% pork sausage (P10), a mixture of 50% pork and 50% carp muscle (P5C5), or 100% carp muscle (C10). The quality of the sausage emulsion was determined by analyzing approximate composition, pH, instrumental color, cooking yield, water holding capacity (WHC), viscosity, and texture profile analysis (TPA). Moisture content of cooked C10 was significantly higher than that of P10 or P5C5 (p < 0.05); however, protein content of cooked P10 was significantly higher than that of C10 (p < 0.05). The pH of uncooked and cooked C10 was significantly higher than that of P10 and P5C5 (p < 0.05). The cooking yield, WHC, and texture profile analysis of C10 were higher than those of P10 and P5C5 (p < 0.05). In addition, the viscosity of uncooked C10 was higher than that of P10 and P5C5. These results suggest that carp muscle can enhance sausage quality with respect to pH, WHC, cooking yield, viscosity, and TPA.

To optimize the mixing ratio of ingredients for optimal sensory qualities of seasoned tofu, a response surface methodology with a central composite design was performed on tofu containing freshwater crab meat (TCM). Using the desirability function technique, the optimal formulation was determined to be 3.67 g of freeze dried meat, 5.54 g of garlic powder, and 2,120 mL of soymilk. In the texture profile analysis, tofu prepared using the optimal ingredient ratio had a higher hardness, cohesiveness and gumminess than commercial tofu but TCM value for adhesiveness, springiness and chewiness were lower. However, the texture properties of TCM were not significantly different than those of commercial tofu.
