At harvest, the starch contents of apples, which were related to their maturity, were quantified by using image analysis. The stained area was measured by a computer vision system when an apple slice was stained with KI/I$_2$ solution. The stained area ratio of the stained area of the apple slice to its whole area, or the starch index, was defined as an indicator of starch content. When Tsugaru apples were manually sorted into immature, turning and mature groups, their starch indices were 0.374, 0.312 and 0.129, respectively. Meanwhile, the starch index had correlation to various physicochemical properties of Tsugaru apples. At the statistically significant level of 0.1 %, it was correlated with the pH value, bio-yield force, rupture force and color of intact and skin-removed apples. At the 1 ％ significant level, it had the correlation with the density and moisture content.

Studies were carried out to investigate physicochemical properties of taro during the pretreatment process of making Toranbyung. Seventeen kinds of amino acids were found in taro. Aspartic acid and glutamic acid were most plentiful among those amino acids. Essential amino acids were about 42.7% of the total amino acids. Sulfur containing amino acids, mehtionine and cystine were about 2.7% The amylograph indicated that the initial temperature triggering gelatinization of both rice flour mixed with taro and glutinous rice flour mixed with taro increased as the amount of taro increased. But the maximum viscosity of rice flour mixed with taro did not increase as the amount of taroincreased while the maximum viscosity of glutinous rice flour mixed with taro increased as the amount of taro increased. And the peak temperature of both rice flour mixed with taro and glutinous rice flour miced with taro increased as the amount of taro increased. The alkali degree of insoluble ash was higher than that of soluble ash. Glutinous rice dough had more total sugar than rice dough. Yellowness of rice dough was higher than that of glutinous rice dough.

Objective: Frankfurters are emulsion-type sausages that are widely consumed worldwide. However, some concerns regarding negative health effects have been raised because of the high fat content and the type of fat. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of duck fat and κ-carrageenan as replacements for beef fat and pork backfat in frankfurters. Methods: The different formulations for the frankfurters were as follows: 20% beef fat (BF), 20% pork backfat (PBF), 20% duck fat (DF), 20% soybean oil (SO), 20% duck fat/1% κ-carrageenan (DFC), and 20% soybean oil/1% κ-carrageenan (SOC). Physicochemical (fatty acid profile, color, rheological properties, cooking loss, water holding capacity, emulsion stability, and texture profile analysis), oxidative stability and sensory properties of frankfurters were evaluated. Results: Duck fat and κ-carrageenan improved rheological properties of meat batter, and physicochemical properties (emulsion stability, cooking loss, and hardness) of frankfurters. Moreover, duck fat added-frankfurters (DF and DFC) had higher oxidative stability than that of soybean-added frankfurters (SO and SOC) during refrigerated storage for 28 days. In sensory evaluation, flavor, texture, and overall acceptability of DFC were acceptable to untrained panelists. Conclusion: Our data suggest that duck fat and κ-carrageenan can replace beef fat and pork backfat in frankfurters. Duck fat and κ-carrageenan contributed to improve the physicochemical properties and oxidative stability while maintaining sensory properties. Therefore, the use of duck fat and κ-carrageenan may be a suitable alternative for replacing beef fat or pork backfat in frankfurters.

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to investigate the possibility for application in identification of apple cultivars. Three apple cultivars ‘Kamhong, Hwahong, and Fuji’ produced in Korea were scanned over the range of 1100-2500nm using NIRS (Infra Alzer 500). Two types of samples were used for scanning; one was apple with skin and the other was apple without skin. For cultivar identification, the NIR absorbance spectrums were analyzed by qualitative calibration in “Sesame” analysis program, and the various influence properties such as sugar contents, acidity, color, firmness, and micro-structure were compared in scanned samples. The ‘Kamhong’ cultivar could be identified from ‘Hwahong’ and ‘Fuji’ cultivars using the cluster model analysis. The test samples in calibration between ‘Kamhong’ and ‘Fuji’ cultivars could be completely identified. The test samples in calibration between ‘Kamhong’ and ‘Hwahong’ cultivars could be identified most of all. But, ‘Hwahong’ and ‘Fuji’ cultivars could not be quite classified each other. The apple skin influenced the identification process of apple cultivars. The samples without skin were more difficult to classify in calibration than the samples with skin. The physicochemical properties of apple cultivars showed like the result of identification in calibration using NIRS. Some physicochemical properties of ‘Kamhong’ cultivar were different from those of the other cultivars. Those of ‘Hwahong’ and ‘Fuji’ cultivars showed. similar to each other. The sucrose contents of ‘Kamhong’ cultivar were higher and the fructose contents and firmness of skin and flesh were lower than those of the others. The hypodermis layer of skin in ‘Kamhong’ cultivar was thinner than those of the others. In this studies, the identification of all apple cultivars by NIRS was not quite accurate because of the physicochemical properties which were different in the same cultivar, and inconsistent patterns by culivars in some properties. To solve these problems in NIRS application for apple cultivar identification, further study should be focused on the use of peculiar properties among the apple cultivars.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the physicochemical properties, cytotoxicity and penetration into dentinal tubules of ChlorCid^TM Surf (3% sodium hypochlorite [NaOCl] with surfactant) in comparison to ChlorCid^TM (3% NaOCl without surfactant). Materials and Methods: The physicochemical properties evaluated were pH, surface tension, free available chlorine (FAC) and contact angle. Cytotoxicity was evaluated in L929 fibroblasts exposed to the solutions by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide and neutral red assays. Assessment of penetration into dentinal tubules was performed by staining single-rooted permanent human teeth with crystal violet (n = 9), which were irrigated with the solutions and analyzed in cervical, middle and apical segments. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's post-test, 2-way ANOVA and Bonferroni's post-test or t-test (α = 0.05). Results: ChlorCid^TM Surf and ChlorCid^TM FAC values were close to those indicated by the manufacturer. ChlorCid^TM Surf showed lower surface tension and contact angle on dentin, and higher pH than ChlorCid^TM (p < 0.05). The penetration of ChlorCid^TM Surf was higher in cervical and middle segments, compared with ChlorCid^TM (p < 0.05). There was no difference in irrigant cytotoxicity (p > 0.05). Conclusions: ChlorCid^TM Surf showed lower surface tension, lower contact angle on root canal dentin, higher penetration into dentinal tubules and more alkaline pH, compared with ChlorCid^TM. However, both solutions showed similar cytotoxicity and FAC content.

Objectives: A variety of root canal sealers were recently launched to the market. This study evaluated physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and sealing ability of a newly launched resin-based sealer (Dia-Proseal, Diadent) compared to the existing root canal sealers (AHplus, Dentsply DeTrey and ADseal, Metabiomed). Materials and Methods: The physicochemical properties of the tested sealers including pH, solubility, dimensional change, and radiopacity were evaluated. Biocompatibility was measured using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. For microleakage test, single-rooted teeth were instrumented, and obturated with gutta-percha and one of the sealers (n = 10). After immersion in 1% methylene blue solution for 2 weeks, the specimens were split longitudinally. Then, the maximum length of staining was measured. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey test (p = 0.05). Results: Dia-Proseal showed the highest pH value among the tested sealers (p < 0.05). ADseal showed higher dimensional change compared to AHplus and Dia-Proseal (p < 0.05). The solubility values of AHplus and Dia-Proseal were similar, whereas ADseal had the lowest solubility value (p < 0.05). The flow values of sealer in increasing order were AHplus, DiaProseal, and ADseal (p < 0.05). The radiopacity of AHplus was higher than those of ADseal and Dia-Proseal (p < 0.05). The cell viability of the tested materials was statistically similar throughout the experimental period. There were no significant differences in microleakage values among the tested samples. Conclusions: The present study indicates that Dia-Proseal has acceptable physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and sealing ability.

Purpose: Nurungji is a traditional Korean food made by yellowish scorched rice. After getting gelatinization of rice, a thin crust of scorched rice will usually be left in the bottom of the traditional cooking pot. In this study, physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant properties of five commercial nurungji products (CNP1, CNP2, CNP3, CNP4, and CNP5) were evaluated. Methods: Physicochemical properties of the five commercial nurungji products were evaluated with AOAC method. The antioxidant activities were assessed using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azinobis-(3-ethyl-benozothia zoline-6-sulfonic acid)(ABTS), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and reducing power assays. Results: Water content was the highest in CNP3, followed by CNP1, CNP2, CNP5, and CNP4. Crude ash content of all nurungji was less than 1%. In Hunter color parameter, the significantly highest a value (redness) and b value (yellowness) were measured in the CNP4 product, meanwhile the lowest in CNP3 (p<0.05). The nurungji products of CNP4 and CNP5 had the significantly higher content in total polyphenols and total flavonoids, compared to those of other products. CNP3 and CNP2 had the lowest in total polyphenols and total flavonoids, respectively. CNP4 and CNP5 products showed the significantly higher values in antioxidant activities, whereas CNP3 had the lowest activity. Conclusion: The high value of antioxidant activities in CNP4 and CNP5 might have been affected primarily by the total polyphenols with increasing browning color during the heat treatment.

유과 품질에 큰 영향을 주는 수침 처리가 찹쌀, 찹쌀 가루 및 찹쌀 전분의 물리화학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수침처리는 세 가지 시료 모두의 등온흡습곡선에 큰 영향을 주었으나 특정한 경향을 나타내지는 않았다. 용해도는 세 가지 시료 모두 호화개시온도 이후 급격히 증가하였고 수침기간이 증가함에 따라 점차 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 팽윤력은 찹쌀 및 찹쌀가루의 경우 수침기간이 증가함에 따라 감소하였으나 찹쌀 전분의 경우 감소하였다가 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. X-선 회절 분석 결과, 수침처리를 한 시료 모두 A형 결정형 형태를 유지하였고, 상대적 결정화도는 수침이 진행될수록 감소하였다. 이로 보아 수침 과정 동안 전분의 일부 결정형 영역이 분해된다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. RVA 점도 특성을 분석한 결과, 찹쌀과 찹쌀 가루의 경우 유사한 경향을 나타내었고, 찹쌀 전분의 경우 이들과 다른 RVA 점도 특성을 나타내었다. 이처럼 Native 상태의 찹쌀, 찹쌀 가루와 찹쌀 전분의 RVA 점도 특성 차이는 수침 초기에 단백질과 지질 등이 용출되어 제거되는 것에 기인한 것으로 보이며, 점도가 감소하는 이유는 수침동안 일어나는 미생물의 생육작용에 의한 것으로 생각된다.
