Quality characteristics of fruits and vegetables were investigated by physical, chemical and sensory evaluations. Firmness of tomato fruits tended to be reduced as their maturity or ripeness stage progressed. Sensory evaluation revealed that raw tomatoes were the most acceptable at pink or light red stage. Specific gravity was highly correlated with mealiness. Emphasis was placed on the basic study forming the foundation of national quality standards of raw fruits and vegetables.

The chemical composition of Smilax china leaves and the quality characteristics of seolgitteok (rice cake) prepared with a water extract of these leaves were evaluated. Sucrose, glucose, maltose, and fructose were found as free sugars in the leaves, while the main fatty acids were stearic and palmitic acids. Glutamic acid and potassium were found at the highest levels among the analyzed amino acids and minerals in the leaves, respectively. On a fresh weight basis, the content of total phenolics and condensed tannin was 1.26 and 0.74%, respectively. As the amount of S. china leaf extract increased, the lightness of seolgitteok significantly decreased (p<0.001) in the rice cake, while redness and yellowness of the cake increased. Texture evaluation showed that springiness, strength, and cohesiveness were higher in rice cakes prepared with 2% S. china leaf extract compared to rice cakes made with 1% extract. At the beginning of the storage period ($20^{\circ}C$), there were no significant differences in viable aerobic cell and mold counts among rice cakes, but after four days in storage, a significant reduction in microorganisms was observed in rice cakes prepared with increasing amounts of leaf extract. On sensory evaluation, rice cakes made with 1% water extract from S. china leaves scored the highest on flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability.

This paper presents an investigation of chemical and sensory properties of Kimchi with red-ripe persimmon. Kimchi with different levels(0, 5, 10, 15%) of real-ripe persimmon was fermented at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 20days. During the fermentation, pH decreased in all Kimchi samples and pH of Kimchi with red-ripe persimmon was a little lower than that of Kimchi without red-ripe persimmon. Acidity increaased continuously and saltiness was maintained at 1.2∼2.2% levels during fermentation. The reducing sugar of Kimchi with red-ripe persimmon was relatively higher than that of the other sample without red-ripe persimmon. Total vitamin C(Vit. C) in Kimchi added red-ripe persimmon increased in the early stage of fermentation and reduced gradually after 4days of fermentation. In the sensory evolution, Kimchi with 10% red-ripe persimmon recorded high scores in taste, flavor, texture and overall acceptability during all fermentation period.

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the quality characteristics of Gouda cheeses supplemented with fruit liquor (Prunusmume or Cornus officinalis). Fruit liquor was supplemented to Gouda cheeses during preparation. Changes in chemical composition, lactic acid bacterial population, pH, water-soluble nitrogen, sensory characteristics, and proteolysis were monitored in the prepared ripened cheese. The electrophoresis patterns of cheese proteins, fruit liquor functional component concentrations, and the flavonoid content of the cheeses were also determined. The addition of fruit liquor did not affect (p> 0.05) the appearance or sensory characteristics of the cheeses. Higher amounts of crude ash, mineral, and flavonoids (p< 0.05) were observed in the liquor supplemented cheese than in the control cheese. Findings from this study suggest that wine supplemented Gouda could provide additional nutrients while maintaining flavor and quality.

We evaluated chemical, sensory and mechanical properties of breads containing different amount of Paecilomyces japonica powder to provide the basic informations for the development of functional bread. The pH of dough with 2% Paecilomices japonica powder was the highest but the pH of dough with 3% Paecilomices japonica powder was the lowest. Baking loss rate of bread added 3% Paecilomices japonica powder was the lowest but that of bread added 1% Paecilomyces japonica powder was the highest in that. The result of sensory evaluation showed that bread added 1% Paecilomices japonica Powder was significantly more preferable in chewiness, mouth feel, texture quality and overall quality. Sensory properties of softness, wheat flour odor, moisture, and mouth feel were positively correlated with the acceptability. Mechanical properties of hardness and chewiness had negative correlation with sensory properties, but springiness, gumminess and brittleness had positive correlation with those. The results of various measurements and evaluations showed that the quality of bread containing the Paecilomices japonica powder could be well accepted organoleptically. And this in turn proves the possibility of functional bread by use of Paecilomices japonica.

Soybean sprout is a year-round traditional vegetable that is easily produced and relatively inexpensive in Korea. In addition, the sprout is known as a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals. The quality of the soybean sprout has been mainly evaluated only by its appearance like length, width, color, and the others without considering any odor or taste attributes. We studied the chemical factors affecting taste of soy sprouts cultivated with 5 recommended soybean cultivars through evaluation of chemical constituents in relation to their sensory characteristics. Correlation coefficient among the chemical constituents and sensory characteristics of soybean sprout showed that the linolenic acid and Ca contents were positively correlated with total acceptability of soybean sprout and histidine, aspartic acid, and serine showed a negative association with beany odor of soybean sprout. Multiple regression analysis was done to formulate selection criteria for good taste of soy sprout. The estimation of step-wise regression analysis conducted by 47 chemical components for major quality-related characteristics showed that linolenic acid and mineral contents were the main components increasing the acceptability of soybean sprout.

This study was evaluate of chemical properties. textural charact6eristics and sensory properties prod-uced peach pyuns through the change of gelling agents such as mungbean starch potato starchy and pec-tin and of sugar density with 10%, 20%, and 30%. Sensory evaluation was that peach pyun added mun-gbean starch was more preferable in appearance and texture than peach pyun added potato starch. Peac-h pyun added 0% pectin was more preferable than peach pyun with 1% pectin. As a result of texture analysis the texture of peach pyun added mungbean starch was denser than that added potato starch. Adding 1% pectin to peach pyun increased mechanical properties such as hardness and chewiness. Mun-gbeaan starch pyun with pectin on lightness Potato starch pyun with pectin on redness and potato star-ch pyun with pectin on yellowness were significant(p<001). Lightness has a tendency to decrease with increasing sugar density. Adding 1% pectin has the effect to increase lightness redness and yellowness. The subject parameters that effect overall quality on sensory evaluation were found taste quality tex-ture quality hardness adhesiveness and taste by using regression analysis.
