The objective of this study was to determine the effects of yeast cultures (Candida zeylanoides and Debaryomyces hansenii) isolated from traditionally dry fermented Turkish sucuks, on some physicochemical and microbiological properties of the product. Eight different batches of the sucuks were produced by the inoculation of yeast and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cultures (Lactobacillus curvatus, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus sakei) in different combinations. The sucuks were ripened for 12 days and analyzed at 1st, 6th, and 12th days of ripening. Percent moisture content, pH, water activity (aw) and residual nitrite values of the sucuk inoculated with the yeast cultures were higher at the end of the ripening. The use of yeast cultures decreased hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values of the sucuk while increased adhesiveness values. Major volatile groups were aldehydes, terpenes, and sulphur compounds in the sucuk samples. The most noticeable results were for sensory properties of the sucuk that were positively improved by the yeast cultures.

Objective: We have tested our hypothesis that inclusion of purified glycerol as a replacer of portions of dried distillers grain with solubles (DDGS) would affect growth performance, rumen fermentation and blood parameters, carcass and sensory traits, reducing sugar and glycogen contents, and volatile compound profiles in longissimus thoracis (LT) in Korean cattle steers. Methods: A total of 20 Korean cattle steers (27.0±0.2 months old; 647±10.5 kg body weight [BW]) were assigned to a conventional control group or a glycerol group (3.17% purified glycerol addition as a replacement for DDGS and molasses). The steers were individually allowed to receive the experimental concentrate at the daily amount of 1.5% of their individual BW and a total 1.0 of kg/d of rice straw twice daily. The feeding trial was conducted for a period of 20 weeks. Results: Glycerol supplementation (GS) increased (p = 0.001) concentrate intake. However, GS did not affect (p>0.05) average daily gain, feed efficiency, and ruminal volatile fatty acid concentrations. GS tended to increase (p≤0.10) serum glucose concentrations at the 16th and 20th weeks. GS decreased (p = 0.001) LT pH. GS did not affect (p>0.05) carcass traits and the chemical or physicochemical compositions, reducing sugar or glycogen contents, sensory traits, and most of volatile compounds in the LT. Conclusion: The inclusion of purified glycerol as a replacement for DDGS in the finishing diet did not affect growth performance, rumen fermentation parameters, and carcass quality in Korean cattle. The purified glycerol could be used as a substitute for other energy sources such as DDGS in beef cattle, depending on the price.

We sought to extend the shelf-life of Alaska pollack Theragra chalcogramma sikhae while maintaining quality. We compared the chemical, microbiological, and organoleptic characteristics of sikhae prepared under four different conditions. Control fish were fermented at ambient temperature ($21{\pm}2^{\circ}C$); other samples were stored at $5^{\circ}C$ after fermentation at ambient temperature for 36 h (A1), 60 h (A2), and 84 h (A3). Volatile basic nitrogen and amino-nitrogen levels, and total acidity increased with fermentation time in all samples, but the pH fell, attaining a relatively lower level in the control than in other samples. Over 90% of all viable cells were lactic acid-producing bacteria; this proportion did not change significantly during fermentation. In terms of texture, only hardness was affected by fermentation. The hardness of the control fell more rapidly than did that of the other samples. In terms of sensory evaluation (the acceptance test and quantitative descriptive analysis [QDA]), A2 was superior to other samples after fermentation for different times; A2 maintained limited salability (6 points on the relevant index) for up to 17 days of storage.

This research investigated the physio-chemical and microbial quality characteristics of dry fermented sausage from selected Pediococcus strains: P. acidiliactici (PE1) and P. pentosaceus (PE2) as compared to commercial starter culture (COS) during fermentation and ripening. Treatments showed no substantial variation (p<0.05) in water activity (a_w) values across the study period. PE1 and PE2 treatments exhibited similar (p>0.05) pH values and presented remarkable (p<0.05) lower volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and thiobarbituric acid reactive (TBARS) content than COS treatment throughout the ripening period. However, the pH values in COS batch were considerably lower than others. PE1 samples presented a significant highest (p<0.05) counts both in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and total plate count (TPC) than COS and PE2 treatments at 7 days fermentation, and it resulted in a similar and higher TPC count as COS after the ripening period. After the ripening process, treatments are ordered based on LAB counts as follows: COS>PE1>PE2. All batches presented similar redness and yellowness attributes since the 7 days of fermentation and in lightness across the study period. Treatments were similar (p>0.05) in springiness and chewiness traits across the study period and in hardness characteristics in the ripened products. Cohesiveness was higher in PE1 and COS batches. No variation (p>0.05) in aroma and sourness sensory attributes of treatments. The color attribute was highest (p<0.05) in PE1 and PE2 treatments and PE1 had the highest overall acceptability. The overall outstanding merit exhibited by PE1 can be utilized in the commercial production of high-quality dry fermented sausage.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of wine ripening on quality characteristics such as chemical compositions, Hunter's color, rheological properties, water activity, pH, TBARS value, VBN content, total plate count and sensory score. Beef jerky was prepared by three types such as beef jerky containing water 50 ml (T0), beef jerky containing water 25 ml and wine 25 ml (T1), and beef jerky containing wine 50 ml (T2). The moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, $L^*$ (lightness), $a^*$ (redness), $b^*$ (yellowness), hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness were not significantly different among the beef jerky. The Aw, pH and TBARS value were not significantly different among the beef jerky, the VBN content and total plate count of T2 had the lowest among the beef jerky (p<0.05). The flavor of T2 was superior to the T0 (p<0.05), and the taste, color, tenderness, juiciness and overall acceptability were not significantly different among the beef jerky.

Sponge cakes were prepared by replacing wheat flour with rice flour ranging from 10-40% and their physico-chemical, textural and sensory properties were examined. Rice flour addition decreased the moisture content and increased the total sugar and protein contents of the sponge cake. The viscosity and specific volume of batter increased with rice flour addition. 'L' values of crumb of sponge cakes with 20% or more rice flour were lower, whereas corresponding 'a' values were higher than those of the control. Textural hardness was increased, and textural cohesiveness and springiness were decreased with the addition of 30% or 40% rice flour. perceived that sponge cake with 20% or more rice flour had a weaker sweet flavor than the others. With the addition of 30% or 40% rice flour, sponge cake showed a stronger roasted and weaker greasy flavor, and less softness and cohesiveness than the other sponge cakes. The sensory did not find my significant difference in overall acceptability between the control and rice flour-added sponge cakes. Therefore, wheat flour could be replaced by rice flour up to 40% without reducing acceptability.

This study was performed to provide basic for predicting the usefulness of Gastrodiae rhizoma(Cho'nma) as a food material for oriental applied diet therapy(YackSun). Thus, Gastrodiae rhizoma was used to develop a traditional Korean snack, Dasik. As a useful food resource, Gastrodiae rhizoma along with Cortex fraxini powder, was used to prepare Dasik. Cho'nma powder was added to the Dasik 63.2%(Dasik-1), 42.2%(Dasik-2) and 21.0%(Dasik-5) of Cho'nma powder to Dasik in one piece(5 g). The moisture and crude ash contents of the Dasik-1, 2 and 3 were analyzed. Physio-chemical analysis and a sensory test were also performed on the Dasik. Moisture and crude ash contents of Dasik-1 were 20.16% and 0.65%, respectively. Moisture and crude ash contents of Dasik-2 and Dasik-3 were 22.92 and 27.17% and 0.49 and 0.23% respectively. from the color test, the t value of Dasik-1 was found to be significantly low but the b value of Dasik-1 significantly high compared with the other preparations. The addition of Cho'nma had a tendency to impart high hardness, fracturability, gumminess and chewiness. Therefore, the addition of Cho'nma made the texture of Dasik denser. From the sensory test, the color, chewiness and overall acceptability of Dasik-1 were found to be significantly high. In conclusion, the addition of 63.2% Cho'nma per piece would be a useful recipe to enhance the quality of Dasik, and the flour Cho'nma showed better result than the Dasik-2 and Dasik-3.

Physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of six dongchimi cultivars were evaluated. Moisture and sugar contents were 94.2% and $4.30^{\circ}Brix$ for three spring radish cultivars, while 92.9% and $7.30^{\circ}Brix$ for three autumn ones. pH $(5.7{\sim}6.1)$ and acidity $(0.09{\sim}0.12%)$ did not show significant differences among cultivars. pH decreased steadily up to 21 days to reach optimum pH of 4.0. The maximum number of total lactic acid bacteria, $10^8{\sim}10^9\;CFU/mL$, was reached at pH 4.0. The final acidity of spring radishes was lower than that of autumn ones, and was proportional to the sugar content of the radishes. The firmness of spring radish decreased rapidly compared to the autumn ones. Cheongbok was found suitable for dongchimi, because its firmness level was maintained around $165.0{\times}10^3\;N/m^2$ at 35 days. Sensory evaluation revealed 96371 among spring radishes and cheongbok among autumn radishes scored high in firmness, chewiness, flavor, and overall acceptance. These results suggest that autumn radishes are suitable for dongchimi fermentation with cheongbok being the best among the cultivars.

Fruit leathers were manufactured from flesh and pomace of Japanese apricots and evaluated for their physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory properties. The contents of total dietary fiber(TDF) in Japanese apricot leathers(JAL) and Japanese apricot pomace leathers(JAPL) were 4.06% and 7.82%, respectively. One hundred grams of leather contained 368kcal in JAL and 352kcal in JAPL. Water activities of fruit leathers were 0.36 in JAL and 0.48 in JAPL. None of the factors had an effect on the microbiological counts of any of the organisms. The L, a and b values of the fruit leathers were higher in those made of JAF than those made of JAP. The fruit leathers made of JAF were harder than those made of JAP. Sensory panelists preferred fruit leathers made of JAP to those made of JAF in all attributes, except for their color.
