Shelf-life is defined as the amount of time during which a food product retains its desired sensory, chemical, and physical characteristics while remaining safe for consumption. The food industry needs to rapidly obtain the necessary information for determining the shelf life of its products. Here we studied the approaches available for conducting accelerated shelf-life tests. Accelerated shelf-life testing is applied to a variety of products to rapidly estimate change in characteristics with time. The aim of this work was to use accelerated shelf-life testing to study the changes in pH, microbiology, and sensory characteristics of ice cream by the application of a kinetic approach and, based on the observations, to estimate its shelf life. As per the current law, there is no shelf life on ice cream. Our results suggest that the shelf life of an ice cream sample was 24.27 months at $-18^{\circ}C$, 2.29 months at $-6^{\circ}C$, 0.39 months at $-1^{\circ}C$, and 0.15 months at $4^{\circ}C$. Results of this study suggest that a set expiration date on ice cream might also contribute to effective management of ice cream characteristics in the retail chilled chain.

Objective : To evaluate the incidence of postsurgical sensory complications in patients with scalp masses and classify the locations of them from a surgical standpoint according to anatomical considerations. Methods : A total of 121 patients who underwent surgery for scalp mass were included in this study. The authors reviewed medical records and preoperative radiologic images. We investigated the complications related to sensory changes after procedure. Enrolled patients have been divided into three groups. Group A included patients with tumors above the superior nuchal line (SNL), Group B with tumors within the trapezius muscle area and patients who had tumors on the lateral trapezius muscle area were assigned to Group C. We compared the incidence related to postoperative sensory complications and summarized their additional treatments for these with clinical outcome. Results : There were 12 patients (10%) with sensory complications related on the mass excision site (Group A : 1 patient, Group B : 2 patients, Group C : 9 patients). Six patients were affected with lesser occipital nerve (LON), 2 patients on greater occipital nerve (GON) and 4 patients on GON and LON. Over 6 months after surgery, two of the twelve patients with sensory complications did not have complete recovered pain in spite of proper medications and local chemical neurolysis with 1.0% lidocaine and dexamethasone. Conclusion : Occipital neuropathy should be considered as a complication related excision of scalp mass. The sensory complications are more frequent in Group C because of the anatomical characteristics of the occipital nerves and there were no statistical difference for other variables.

This study investigated how different amounts of omija fruit (Schisandra chinensis) juice concentrate (0~5%) in sauces affect perceived sensory and quality characteristics. Sauce samples were subjected to chemical analysis for different quality parameters such as Brix, reducing sugars, total phenolic compounds, alpha-amylase inhibition, and alpha-glucosidase inhibition activity. A decrease in pH values was observed with increasing concentrate percentage. As for color, the more concentrate added, the more the L value decreased and other values ($a^*$, $b^*$ and ${\Delta}E$ values) increased. Hypoglycemic effect, as determined by alpha-glucosidase, valuably increased in 4% juice concentrate. As the percentage of concentrate increased, the chemical component values also increased. Significant differences were observed between sauce samples in the sensory evaluation, with the highest overall acceptance being sauce containing 4% juice concentrate. When evaluated with marinated chicken breasts, sauce containing 5% juice concentrate achieved the maximum score.

To evaluate the effect of Hydrangea serrata Seringe extract on kakdoogi(Korean radish kimchi), the kakdoogi was prepared, after supplementation, with Hydrangea serrata Seringe extract(0, 1.25, 2.5 and 5%(v/w)). The quality characteristics of the kakdoogi were investigated during 7 days of fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$. The proximate components of the Hydrangea serrata Seringe leaves were 3.48% crude protein, 6.45% crude lipid, 7.98% crude fiber and 9.32% crude ash. The pH values in the samples with the extract were higher than that of both the control group and the sugar group. The total acidity levels in the sugar group was higher than that of other groups. The sugar group showed higher L value(lightness) than that of kakdoogi fermented with the extract. A value(redness) and B value(yellowness) of the supplemented kakdoogi was lower than that of the control and the sugar group on day 7. The hardness of samples with the extract was higher than that of the sugar group. And the hardness of the groups with the extract was not reduced during the fermentation period. The control group showed higher salinity than the other groups by day 4. The samples with the extract were sweeter than the control group on day 0 then the difference disappeared after day 2. Sourness of all the groups increased during the fermentation period. However the extract did not affect the hardness or overall acceptability of the kakdoogi during fermentation.

This study examined the quality characteristics of cookies comprised of various amounts of barley-sprout powder by analyzing the physico-chemical characteristics of the cookies and investigating a sensory evaluation. For the study, the cookies were cooked with the following levels of barley-sprout powder: 0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%. The results show that the moisture content of the cookies was increased in accordance with the level of barley-sprout powder and this result is the same as the spreadability factor of the cookies (p<0.001). Also, the pH and brix values of the samples decreased in accordance with the level of barley-sprout powder (p<0.001). Regarding hunter's colors, the values of L (lightness), a (redness), and b (yellowness) are significantly decreased, increasing the quantity of barley-sprout powder (p<0.001). For the textural characteristics, the results show that the hardness of the cookies decreased in accordance with the addition of the barley-sprout powder; furthermore, the results indicate a tendency whereby the DPPH-radical-scavenging activity and the total polyphenol content of the cookies were increased, thereby increasing the quantity of the barley-sprout powder (p<0.001). For the sensory evaluation, the cookies that were made with 6 % barley-sprout powder received the highest scores in terms of appearance, taste, and overall preference (p<0.05, p<0.001). This study suggests that barley-sprout powder is an excellent ingredient for improving the acceptability and functionality of cookies, and that, in relation to the flour quantity the ideal proportion of barley-sprout powder is 6%.

The aims of this study were to develop $macaron{\grave{e}}$ with Korean red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and GABA (${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid) rice powder and analyze their physico-chemical and physiological characteristics. Korean red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) was added to $macaron{\grave{e}}$ at a weight percentage of 0, 2.5 and 4.5%. Color values (L-value, redness, and yellowness), total sugar content, total phenolics, total carotenoids, ABTS radical scavenging activity, textures, and sensory characteristics with varying various Korean red pepper were measured. As the ratio of the powders in the $macaron{\grave{e}}s$ increased, total phenolic content, total carotenoid content, and radical scavenging activity increased. There were significant differences in total phenolic and total carotenoid content of $macaron{\grave{e}}s$ (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation indicated significant differences (p<0.05) in color, sweetness, texture, and overall acceptability depending on the addition of Korean red pepper. KR30 $macaron{\grave{e}}$, showed higher overall acceptability, as compared to other $macaron{\grave{e}}$.

In this study, we evaluated the effects of dietary fiber extracted from Algelica keiskei Koidz on the chemical composition, cooking characteristics, and sensory properties of chicken patties. The chicken patties with Algelica keiskei Koidz dietary fiber had significantly higher moisture and ash content, and yellowness than the control sample (p<0.05). Energy value, cooking loss, reduction in diameter, reduction in thickness, lightness, redness, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness of the control samples was significantly higher than chicken patties with Algelica keiskei Koidz dietary fiber (p<0.05). The sensory evaluation indicated that the greatest overall acceptability in chicken patties was achieved at Algelica keiskei Koidz dietary fiber levels of 1% and 2%. Chicken patties supplemented with 2% Algelica keiskei Koidz dietary fiber had improved quality characteristics.

We researched the physical, chemical, functional, textural, and manufacturing characteristics of yellow layer cake which prepared by adding different amounts of persimmon leaf powder (0, 4, 8, 12, 16%). The color of the crumbs inside the cake appeared dark, demonstrating that the L value decreased as the amount of persimmon leaf powder increased. The value of a, which corresponds to the level of redness, increased and the cake appeared dark red as the amount of persimmon leaf powder added increased; whereas, the yellowness of the cake tended to decrease as the value of b, which corresponds to the level of yellowness, gradually. As the amount of persimmon leaf powder added increased, the specific loaf volume of the cake increased, but the amount of baking loss tended to be similar at all. The textural characteristics of hardness and gumminess tended to increase, but cohesion and elasticity were not influenced by the addition of persimmon leaf powder. In the sensory test, color was rated low, but flavor, taste, and texture showed the highest score in 8% as the amount of persimmon leaf powder added increased. The general preference was highest when the persimmon leaf powder was added in the amount of 8%, and it decreased as the amount of persimmon leaf powder added increased.

Objective: Effect of addition of wheat bran (WB) and dried carrot pomace (DCP) on sensory, textural, colour, physico-chemical and nutritional characteristics of chicken sausage were evaluated. Methods: WB and DCP were used as a source of dietary fibre at 3%, 6%, and 9% level individually. Different quality attributes of sausages were estimated. One product from each source with very good sensory acceptability was selected to analyze dietary fibre content and shelf life under refrigerated storage. Results: Sensory acceptability of 3% fibre enriched sausage was comparable with control and a further increase in fibre level resulted in a decrease in sensory acceptability. Fibre enriched sausages were significantly harder and less cohesive than control sausage. Significant increase in gumminess and chewiness was observed at 6% level in WB treated sausages and 9% level in DCP treated sausages. Moisture content decreased significantly in all treated sausages, protein content decreased significantly in DCP-2 and DCP-3 sausages while fat content decreased in all WB and DCP-3 treated sausages in comparison to control. The fibre enriched sausage had significantly higher dietary fibre and lower cholesterol content. Cooking yield and emulsion stability increased in treated sausages and a significant difference was noticed at 6% level in both types of sausages. pH of WB treated sausages was significantly higher and DCP treated sausage significantly lower in comparison to control. Conclusion: The results of present study indicate that fibre enriched chicken sausage with moderate acceptability can be developed by incorporating WB and DCP each up to 9% level. Chicken sausage with very good acceptability, higher dietary fibre content and storability up to 15 days at refrigerated temperature can be developed by incorporating WB and DCP at 6% level each.

The traditional methods for determining the quality of milk, cheese and meat are tedious and expensive, with a significant wastage of chemicals which pollute the environment. To overcome these disadvantages, the potential of near infrared spectrophotometry (NIR) for monitoring the quality of milk and meat has been evaluated by a number of researchers. While most studies indicate that NIR can be used to predict chemical composition of milk and meat, and to monitor the cutting-point during cheese manufacturing, one study demonstrated the potential of NIR to predict sensory characteristics (e.g. hardness and tenderness) of beef. These calibrations were developed on a small number of samples, limiting their value for adoption by the industries. Now that the sophisticated computer software is available, more robust calibrations need to be developed to monitor both chemical and physical characteristics of meat and meat products simultaneously.
