The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical contents (sugar, nitrogen, and amino acids) and sensory characteristics of traditional soy sauce according to three different methods. The samples were taken from four different periods (0, 20, 40, and 60 days after fermentation). Total sugar contents increased in all groups according to ripening period, and Gyupjang (G) showed the highest sugar content among the groups. Total nitrogen and amino acid contents of all groups increased after 60 days of ripening, and Gyupjang (G) and Gyupjang mixed with salt water (SG) had higher total nitrogen content compared to Chungjang (S) at the same period. The results from the sensory evaluation show that preferable sensory characteristics, such as color preferences, sweetness, umami taste, and overall preference, were significantly higher in Gyupjang (G) and Gyupjang mixed with salt water (SG) than in Chungjang (S). Preferable sensory characteristics had significantly high positive correlation with most amino acids, total nitrogen, and sugar contents, except for glutamine. Based on the significant difference in preferable sensory characteristics between Gyupjang mixed with salt water (SG) and Chungjang (S), Gyupjang mixed with salt water (SG) can be used to improve sensory characteristics. This research implies that adding salt water during the manufacturing Gyupjang process is advisable to yield high quality soy sauce.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of Bokbunja pudding, using various levels of Bokbunja fruit juice (140, 150, and 130 g), Bokbunja Wine (10, 20, and 20 g), gelatin (18, 17, and 16 g) and sugar (250, 200, and 150 g). In order to establish the optimal added amounts, chemical composition, saccharinity, color, texture, and sensory evaluations were conducted, and the results of various cases were analyzed and assessed. The statistical data analyses were conducted using the SPSS program. The saccharinity of the Bokbunja pudding increased with increasing amountsof added sugar. Additionally, as the amount of added Gelatin was increased, the L values (lightness) of the Bokbunja pudding decreased. Conversely, the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values all decreased with decreasing levels of added gelatin and sugar. The optimal mixing condition for the Bokbunja pudding was determined via sensory evaluation. Sensory characteristics, including flavor, sweetness, texture, and overall acceptability, were highest in the type C product. The chemical composition of the type C product was as follows: moisture 71.47%, carbohydrate 24.70%, crude protein 3.83%, crude fat 0.001%, and crude ash 0.001%. According to our results, the optimum mixing ratio for the most satisfactory sensory characteristics of Bokbunja was as follows: Bokbunja fruit juice 130 g, Bokbunja Wine 20 g, Gelatin 16 g, Sugar 150 g, Bokbunja Flavor 0.3 g, and Water 400 g.

Physico-chemical analysis and sensory test of loin of lamb were carried out by four different methods such as grilling, pan-frying, oven-roasting and boiling. The crude fat content was all the same at three cooking methods except boiling. The moisture content was not different among grilling, pan-frying and oven-roasting. Hunter's color L-value(lightness) was lowest at grilling method. However, the heating loss appeared greatly at grilling. The hardness of the lamb-loin after cooking showed big differences with the control except boiling treatment. Amino acids in fillet contained highly in the order of glutamic acid > aspartic acid > cystein. The grilling showed a good value not only color of a sensory test but also the appearance. The oven-roasting cooking gave the tenderness and juiciness. The oven-roasting method showed good sensation to overall taste. Therefore, the oven-roasting (at $150^{\circ}C$ for 9 minutes) was suggested as the superior method when the loin of lamb is cooked for reducing off-flavour.

This study was carried out to investigate the properties of mul-kimchi made with allium victorialis. Chemical and sensory characteristics were determined during fermentation at $4^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks. The pH decreased with an increase in total acidity. Mul-kinchi showed salinity properties ranging within $1.0{\sim}1.5%$ during fermentation. Hunter's color L, a-values were gradually decreased, but b-value was increased. In the texture, hardness and strength decreased as the aging time increased. The numbers of total- and lactic bacteria cells rapidly increased up to the second week, and this slowly increased thereafter. Sensory evaluation of mul-kinchi was favored for appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability during the second week. Sensory properties of well ripened odor and sour taste negatively correlated with physicochemical properties of pH and hardness. Sour odor and sour taste were positively correlated with acidity and total- and lactic acid bacteria.

The baking property, chemical composition, instrumental characteristics and sensory quality of yeast breads containing various mixing percentage of Job's-tears flour with wheat flour were studied. The loaf volume and baking quality of the yeast bread made from mixing of 30% Job's-tears flour were similar to those of wheat flour bread. The contents of crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash in Job's-tears flour breads were much higher than those of wheat flour brad. Instrumental rheological characteristics of the yeast breads were measured with a Texture Analyzer. As the addition level of Job's-tears flours increased, hardness of the yeast breads increased but fracturability, adhesiveness, springness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness and resilience decreased. The results of sensory evaluation revealed that Job's-tears flour was added to wheat flour at a replacement level of 10% without a large adverse effect on flavor, taste, mouthfeel and aftertaste.

Soy sauce, a basic ingredient in Asian cuisine, is made of fermented soybeans, salt, water, and barley or wheat flour. The sensory characteristics of soy sauce are not only determined through its main ingredients but also by various flavor compounds produced during the fermentation process. This study was conducted to identify the sensory attributes of five different commercial soy sauce samples that differ in Meju types (traditional Meju or modified Meju) and usage types. Thirty three sensory attributes, including appearance (1), odor (16), flavor (14), and mouthfeel (2) attributes, were generated and evaluated by eight trained panelists. The collected data were analyzed by analysis of variance and principal component analysis. There were significant differences in the intensities of all sensory attributes among the soy sauce samples. Soy sauce made with traditional Meju had high intensity of fermented fish, beany, musty odors and salt, Cheonggukjang, fermented fish flavors. Whereas two soy sauces made with modified Meju were strong in alcohol, sweet, Doenjang, roasted soybean flavors. Two soy sauces for soup made with modified Meju had medium levels of briny, sulfury, fermented odors and bitter, chemical flavors and biting mouthfeel characteristic.

This study investigated the effects of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium lactate and calcium ascorbate on the physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of sodium-reduced pork patties. Pork patties were prepared in 4 ways: T1 (control, 1.0% NaCl), T2 (0.6% NaCl, 0.4% KCl), T3 (0.7% NaCl, 0.3% potassium lactate) and T4 (0.7% NaCl, 0.3% calcium ascorbate). The pH, cooking loss, total plate counts, TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances), surface color (L, a, b) and sensory characteristics were evaluated. The partial substitution of NaCl with KCl and calcium ascorbate decreased the cooking loss and TBARS values, and enhanced microbial stability. The partial substitution of NaCl with potassium lactate significantly decreased TBARS values and enhanced microbial stability, but significantly increased cooking loss compared to the control after 1 and 4 days of storage. However, the surface color and sensory characteristics were not affected by any of the treatments.

The objectives of this study were: 1) to examine the contents of chemical composition (chlorogenic acids, caffeine, free acids, and free sugars) and 2) to evaluate the sensory attributes (sourness, bitterness, and sweetness) of brewed coffee as affected by two roasting conditions such as varied in the roasting time with the same roasting temperature (RT) and with same color and yield (CY). Quantitative analysis of chemical components was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system, and quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) was conducted to analyze sensory attributes. Based on the results of chemical analysis, chlorogenic acids were significantly different (p<0.05) in the short term roasted samples (RT 240 and CY 240), but there was no significant difference in caffeine contents (p>0.05). Organic acid levels were different between RT and CY coffee samples. RT 240 coffee had the most level in organic acids and the longer the roasting time of coffee, the lesser the level of organic acids in coffee was found. However, there was no significant difference in CY coffee (p>0.05). The results of sensory evaluations show that the degree of roasting changed according to the roasting time despite of the roasting temperature. Long term (RT 80) coffee was relatively bitter while short term (RT 240) coffee was relatively sweeter. Also, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the sensory characteristics (bitterness and sweetness) of CY coffee although they were roasted at different temperatures. Therefore, the current study concluded that better understanding of proper roasting time and temperature improves the quality of brewed coffee.
