The aim of this study was to develop a seasoning paste fermented by Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus subtilis using three edible insects: Tenebrio molitor larvae, Gryllus bimaculatus, and Bombyx mori pupa. No significant changes in pH and titratable acidity were observed between the insect pastes and soybean control during a 5-week fermentation process. The amino nitrogen was 0.35-0.50% (w/w) in the early stage of the fermentation and increased to 0.72-0.78%. The total nitrogen was 2.36-3.62% (w/w) in the early stage and was preserved during the fermentation period. Free amino acids of the insect pastes were similar to those in soybean paste. In general, the fermented insect pastes showed a lower flavor and color than soybean paste but B. mori pupa-fermented paste did not show any significant difference in preference from soybean. Glutamate, aspartate, lysine, phenylalanine, arginine, and serine were found to affect taste preference. It was possible to ferment edible insect protein to produce a fermented seasoning paste like Korean doenjang.

This study was designed to evaluate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of noodles containing Allium senescens L. powder (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8%). With an increase in the consumption of Allium senescens L., there was a decrease in pH (p<0.001), water absorption ratio, volume expansion ratio, and turbidity (p<0.05). The colorvalue showed that the addition of Allium senescens L. decreased the L and b values. On the other hand, a value was increased (p<0.001). The mechanical texture of the noodles containing Allium senescens L. was decreased by the addition of Allium senescens L. considering its hardness and chewiness; however, it increased the adhesiveness, springiness, and cohesiveness (p<0.001). In the sensory evaluation, the noodles with 4% Allium senescens L. powder showed the best results (p<0.001). The total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging, and reducing power were increased upon addition of Allium senescens L. powder (p<0.001).

This study investigated the effects on the quality characteristics of the korean steamed rice cake, Seolgiddok of the addition of aloe powder at 0%, 1.5%, 3.0%, 4.5% and 6.0% and 4-days storage. The moisture content of the control 0% aloe, steamed rice cake was 47.76%, and steadily decreased with increasing powder addition to the lowest of 37.38% for the cake with 6.0% added. The moisture content was decreased with extending storage time in both the control and powder-added groups. The cohesiveness, springiness, adhesiveness, gumminess and chewiness of the cake tended to decrease with increasing powder content, while the hardness increased with both increasing powder content and extending storage time. The Hunter color value L in the chromaticity of the cake was significantly decreased with increasing powder addition. The a value of the control, 0% aloe steamed cake was -0.86, but became positive with red color with increasing powder content, The b value was significantly increased with increasing powder content. The powder addition inhibited the increase in bacteria number. The sensory characteristics of the cake. such as color, aloe flavor and taste, and bitterness were increased with increasing powder content, while the moist and soft feeling of the cake were more highly evaluated at lower powder content. The overall taste was judged to be best for the sample with 3% added powder. Accordingly, it was expected that a highly functional and healthy product with improved quality might be developed by the addition of aloe powder to the Korean steamed cake, Seolgiddok.

The effects of the addition of germinated whole soy flour on dough and noodle characteristics were investigated in this study. The soybeans were germinated for 12 hours at $20^{\circ}C$ and ground to 60 mesh. With increasing soybean flour addition up to $16\%$, the RVA viscograph and mixograph properties were significantly decreased both with and without the addition of $3\%$ salt(p<0.05). The width and length extensibility were increased with increasing whole soy flour addition up to $8\%$ after which they decreased. The addition of the whole soy flour turned the color of the wet and cooked noodle a little darkish and greenish yellow. The hardness and gumminess of wet noodle increased with increasing whole soy flour amount, while those of cooked noodle gradually decreased. Sensory evaluation showed that addition of tile whole soy flour significantly increased the savory flavor and yellowish color of cooked noodle.

This study was investigated the quality characteristics of muffins which were prepared with whole waxy sorghum flours. Muffins were made with different sorghum flour contents of 10, 30, 50 and 100% substitution for wheat flour. The crude protein and fat contents of muffins were not different among samples, but the crude ash content was determined to increase with increasing content of sorghum flour. The specific gravity of the sorghum muffin batter as well as the weight and uniformity index of the sorghum muffins, were not significantly different from those of the control. The volume of muffins was found to decrease significantly when 100% sorghum flour was substituted for wheat flour. In terms of color, the L and b values of muffins were decreased with increasing contents of sorghum flour, and the a value was increased. The sensory test revealed that the hardness and adhesiveness of muffins was increased with the addition of sorghum flour, but springiness and chewiness decreased. According to the results of a sensory evaluation test, the flavor, taste and texture of muffins were reduced with the addition of 50 and 100% sorghum flour. The appearance and overall acceptability of sorghum muffins were not found to be different significantly from those of the control, up to 30% level substitution with sorghum flour.

In this study, we assessed the quality characteristics of soybean curds (tofu) prepared with Mesangi (Capsosiphon fulvescens) powder (0, 2, 4, 6%, w/w) were investigated. The yields of the curds containing Mesangi were higher than those of the control, and the yield increased with increasing quantities of Mesangi powder. The most abundant mineral in Mesangi tofu was calcium, followed by magnesium. The Mesangi tofu had a slightly lower pH than the control. The addition of Mesangi powder to curd evidenced a significantly lower L value (lightness) and a value (redness) than was detected in the control (p<0.05). The hardness level was highest in the tofu to which 2% Mesangi powder was added. However, this level decreased with increasing concentrations of Mesangi powder. Although the 4% Mesangi tofu evidenced higher adhesiveness than was detected in the control, we noted no significant differences among the Mesangi-treated curds. The soybean curds added to which 2% Mesangi powder was added had evidenced the highest level of cohesiveness, but the tofu containing 4 and 6% Mesangi powder was significantly reduced as compared with the control and 2% Mesangi tofu. Springiness, gumminess, and brittleness were higher in the 2% Mesangi tofu than in the others (p<0.05). The soybean curds prepared with Mesangi powder evidenced a lower total plate count than the controls during over 12 days of storage.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of feeding periods of dietary Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS) on the quality characteristics of Hanwoo beef during refrigerated storage. Hanwoo steers were fed a 4% RVS-contained diet for 0 (control), 3, 4, 5, or 6 mon prior to slaughter (28 mon of age). The M. semitendino년 from carcasses were stored at $3{\pm}0.2^{\circ}C$ for 7 d. The crude fat content was lower in the 4 and 5 mon groups than in the other groups (p<0.05), however the crude protein content and water-holding capacity (WHC) were higher in the 4 and 5 mon groups than in the other groups (p<0.05). The monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) content was higher in the 3, 4, and 5 mon groups than in the other groups (p<0.05). During storage. the TBARS content was reduced in the RVS groups, and the MetMb content showed slower accumulation in the 3, 4, and 5 mon groups than in the other groups. With regard to meat color, the 3, 4, and 5 mon groups had higher L, a, and C values than the other groups until 7 d, and in particular, the a value at 7 d was the highest in the 4 mon group (p<0.05). Consequently, the beef from 4% RVS-fed Hanwoo for 4-5 mon was effective at improving the WHC, MUFA content, and color stability relative to the other beef.
