Radicchio (Cichorium intybus L.) is widely known to have antioxidant, anti-cancer, and digestion-promoting effects. Antioxidant activity and sensory characteristics of sponge cakes made with radicchio powder were investigated in this study. Sponge cakes were made with freeze-dried radicchio powder added to the flour at concentrations of 1, 3, 5, and 7%. As the amount of radicchio powder increased, the specific gravity of radicchio-containing sponge cakes significantly increased. pH value did not significantly differ between groups. Moisture content decreased from 30.72% (control) to 28.68% (7% radicchio) and loss of mass during baking increased from 7.11% (control) to 9.36% (7% radicchio). L (brightness) and b (yellowness) of sponge cakes decreased while redness increased. Hardness and chewiness decreased as concentration of radicchio powder increased. Springiness and cohesiveness did not significantly differ between any of the groups. Total polyphenol contents ranged from 0.12 to 0.31 mg GAE/g. DPPH scavenging activity significantly increased as the amount of radicchio powder increased. Overall acceptability of sensory experience measured on a 7-point scale was highest in the 3% radicchio cakes (5.35). In conclusion, the addition of 3% radicchio powder improves the sensory qualities of radicchio sponge cakes.

This study was performed in order to investigate the quality characteristics of sponge cake made with Laminaria japonia powder. To evaluate the physical and sensory analysis, Laminaria japonia powder was added to wheat flour in various ratio (3, 5, 7, 9%, w/w). The specific gravity and loss rate increased with the addition of Laminaria japonia powder. The crude protein and ash levels in the sponge cakes increased linearly with the addition of 0~9 g of Laminaria japonia powder/100 g of wheat flour. For the crumb color values, lightness (L) and yellowness (b) decreased with the addition of Laminaria japonia powder, whereas redness (a) significantly increased (P<0.05). In the texture analysis, the hardness, gumminess and chewiness were increased; however, the cohesiveness and resilience were reduced by the addition of Laminaria japonia powder. When the sensory characteristics were evaluated, 5% Laminaria japonia sponge cake showed the highest sensory properties, except for color. Therefore, the results suggested that 5% Laminaria japonia sponge cake could be helpful in improving the physical quality as well as the taste.

This study was conducted to investigate rheological and sensory characteristics of fish paste prepared with Curcuma longa L. powder (0, 1, 3, 5, 7%). The moisture content of the fish paste ranged from 71.35 to 72.97%. Increasing the amount of Curcuma longa L. powder in the fish paste tended to decrease the pH value and the folding test good score in all samples. Increasing the amount of Curcuma longa L. powder in the fish paste also tended to decrease the lightness (L) in the hunter color value, but to increase the redness (a) and yellowness (b). For the textural characteristics, the addition of Curcuma longa L. powder increased the strength and decreased the springiness. In a sensory evaluation, the addition of 3% Curcuma longa L. powder had the best score in taste and overall preference. Therefore, this results suggest that adding 3% Curcuma longa L. powder would be feasible for making Curcuma longa L. fish paste.

This study was carried out to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of fermented milks containing mulberry leaf extract. The mulberry leaf extracts were added to fermented milk at $0{\sim}2.0%$. The pH, acidity, numbers of viable cells, chemical composition and color values of fermented milk preparation were analyzed, and these samples were subjected to a taste test panel. As the ratio of mulberry leaf extract increased, the pH value of the fermented milk decreased proportionally and acidities increased significantly. The numbers of viable cells was highest in the fermented milk sample containing 0.5% mulberry leaf extract. In the chemical composition analyses, increases in the concentration of mulberry leaf extract led to a significant increase in crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash contents and a significant decrease in lactose content. Ca, Mg and K in the fermented milk were also significantly increased with the addition of mulberry leaf extract. As mulberry leaf extract amount increased, the lightness and redness values decreased, while the yellowness value increased. From the sensory evaluation of the fermented milk containing mulberry leaf extract, color, taste, texture and overall acceptability of the fermented milk sample containing 1% mulberry leaf extract was found to be much better than those of the other groups.

Kimchi packed in polypropylene(PP) tray was stored at different temperatures (0, 10, $20^{\circ}C$) to investigate the relationships between fermentative gas pressure and quality changes. The quality of Kimchi during storage was evaluated in terms of pH, titratable acidity, color, and sensory properties. The fermentative gas pressure changes due to $CO_2$ evolution showed typical sigmoidal curves at each temperature. Accordingly, inflation of Kimchi packages caused by increasing gas pressure occurred in 40 hours, 5 and 30 days at 20, 10, $0^{\circ}C$ , respectively, at which gas pressure inside the packages ranged $1.2{\sim}1.4\;psig$. Following inflation, Kimchi packages stored at 20 and $10^{\circ}C$ were burst out on 3 and 8 days, but those at $0^{\circ}C$ were not. As the fermentative gas pressure increased, pH decreased (r > 0.968) and titratable acidity increased (r > 0.973) proportionally. Regarding to the color change of crushed Kimchi juice, L and b values were decreased exponentially, but a value remained constant during storage. Among sensory properties, the sourness and texture scores showed good accordance with pH changes. In conclusion, although Kimchi kept optimal tastes during storage, the inflation of package restricted shelf-life of Kimchi.

The physical and sensory properties of puffed mulberry-rice snack (PMRS) by pellet with mulberry leaf and brown rice flour were evaluated at different temper moisture contents and at varying puffing temperatures. The mulberry pellets were prepared using a food extruder to extrude the dough made from mulberry leaf powder and brown rice flour. The mulberry pellets were tempered to 14, 16, and 18% moisture content and were puffed at 220, 230, and 240$^{\circ}C$ for 4, 5, and 6 sec. The specific volume and breaking strength of PMRS increased with heating temperature and time; however, the breaking strength decreased as the moisture content increased. The Hunter L value decreased as the heating temperature and time increased, showing an especially large decrease with increased heating time. The a and b values increased with increasing heating temperature and time. These results indicated that PMRS, which has a distinctive flavor and color, could be effectively used as a functional food with the use of a puffing machine and that PMRS shows potential for use as new snack product.

Physicochemical properties of black rice flours (BRFs) produced under different milling conditions were investigated to explore their applications for various processed rice products. Moisture contents of BRFs after roll milling and subsequent hot-air drying or microwave drying were 10.3% and 14.4%, respectively. The BRFs with jet milling and subsequent hot-air drying or microwave drying showed moisture contents of 7.9% and 7.5%. Mean particle sizes of the BRFs obtained from roll milling, jet milling, and following air-classification were 150, 41.5, and 9.4 ${\mu}m$, respectively. Hunter L value and water soluble index (WSI) of BRFs increased with decreasing particle size, while Hunter a value decreased. Total polyphenol contents of 91.4-115.8 mg/100 g and total amino acids of 75.0-96.4 mg/100 g in three types of BRFs were higher as compared to those (6.3 mg/100 g and 30.5 mg/100 g) of polished rice flour (PRF). Physicochemical properties such as moisture content, color parameter, and WSI have close relationship with the particle size of BRFs prepared under different milling conditions.

In order to study storage stability of fresh jujube fruits (Zizyphus jujuba Miller) controlled atmosphere storage, polyethylene film packaging and non-packaging were compared. Jujube fruits were stored on the following gas compositions: 1.5% carbon dioxide and 5, 8, 10, 12% oxygen at $7^{\circ}C$, respectively. And 0.05 mm PE packaging and non-packaging were stored at $1^{\circ}C,\;4^{\circ}C\;and\;7^{\circ}C$. Safe storage period of Bokjo jujube fruits was four weeks when stored in CA condition of $O_2\;10%\;and\;CO_2\;1.5%$ in terms of their overall quality. The rate of weight loss was not much changed either by storage method of CA or by PE film packaging. In surface color the a value of jujube fruits increased but L and b values decreased during the storage period. Hardness showed the trend of increase in all the treatment for 2 weeks of storage while in CA it decreased more than the others after 4 weeks of storage. Soluble solids and titratable acidity were changed slightly. Vitamin C contents were gradually decreased in all treatments, but non-packed jujubes at $1^{\circ}C$ were slightly increased.
