This study was conducted to investigate the effects of paprika juice on the quality characteristics of Jeung-Pyun (fermented and steamed rice cake). Jeung-Pyun was prepared with four different levels of orange paprika juice (0%, 10%, 25% and 50% replacement of water). The proximate composition analysis showed that moisture contents of Jeung-Pyun were 48.72∼49.36%, and crude protein, lipid and ash contents were 2.94∼3.13%,0.46∼0.63% and 0.60∼0.65%, respectively. The pH of Jeung-Pyun batters was decreased from 4.74∼4.83 to 4.27∼4.38 during 4 hours of fermentation at 35$^{\circ}C$. The maximum expanded volume was observed in control group, followed by 10% group, 25% group and 50% group and the volume expansion was decreased with the increased amount of paprika juice. The "L" value (lightness) was the highest in control group and decreased with paprika juice addition, while the "b" value (yellowness) was increased as the amount of paprika juice was increased. Rheology test showed that there were no significant differences in hardness an cohesiveness among four groups. Springiness and gumminess were the lowest in control group and increased with the increased amount of paprika juice. Results of sensory evaluation showed that there were no significant differences in scores of cell uniformity, sweetness, moistness and overall desirability between control and 10% group. Therefore. Jeung-Pyun prepared with 10% paprika juice was evaluated as the most acceptable one among test groups when compared to control.

It is aimed to survey the housewive's interest and understanding on the Korean traditional dishes in relation to the importance and the significance of those dishes in the Korean traditional folk ceremony. Questionnaires were distributed to and answered by 667 housewives ranging from the the mother of kindergarden children to the mother of seniors in the university. Some of the significant findings and speculations derived from the analysis of data are summarized as follows: 1. About 90% of subjects have taken the knowledge on cooking the traditional dishes from their mothers and their grandmothers. And they have had many opportunities to known about traditional dishes through the home life education. 2. The kinds of the Korean traditional dishes which are used often at the folk ceremony are Tto k(Korean rice cake), Shikhae (fermented rice fruits punch), Sujong Kwa (persimmon fruits punch), Whachae(flower, fruits punch) etc. 3. About two thirds of the subjects have a little knowledge about Korean traditional special menu for the Korean folk ceremony, however, most of them observe New York's Day, Chusuk (The Korean Tranks giving Day), Dongji (The winter solstice), and Deborum (The 15th of the January on lunar Calender). 4. About 74% of the subjects use Korean traditional foods when they have Korean traditional folk ceremony. But there is a tendency to use nontraditional dishes among young housewives. 5. More than 73% of the housewives agree to the idea that Korean traditional dishes have to be succeeded and developed. 6. Most of the housewives think the Korean traditional folk ceremony is important and they are willing to make Korean traditional foods on the occasions, but they also think the ceremony must be rather simplified.

This study was carried out to investigate the preference for traditional food of university students through the analysis of their daily meal types. Questionnaires were collected from a total of 197 students from December 2007 to February 2008 in Chungnam Province. The results are as follows; 148 of the respondents (73.0%) prefer Korean traditional meal as their favorite food. The significant differences are found in both gender groups and major groups (p<.05). 178 of the respondents (90.4%) answered that the traditional foods are excellent and good. However, the foods were significantly (p<.05) evaluated that major students consider them to be 'excellent' foods, while non-major students consider them to be 'good' foods. 136 of respondents (69.0%) answered that the traditional foods have beneficial influences on their health. In the survey on intake frequency of traditional meals, 137 of respondents (65.9%) have traditional foods more than twice a day. The ratio of traditional meal intake of male students is a significantly higher level (p<.05) than that of female students. Their preference for traditional rice cake, fermented rice punch, and juice mixed with fruits is a very high level of the average of 4.19, 4.22 and 4.34, respectively. The preference for Kimchi, Bulgoki, boiled beef slices, sundae and jelly was a relatively high level of the average of 4.43, 4.65, 4.14, 4.30, and 4.05, respectively. Concludingly, the research shows the majority of students enjoy korean traditional food and expect Korean food as favorite food to be developed and to be inherited.

To investigate the possibility of discrimination between organic and non-organic rice using stable isotope nitrogen of natural abundance, organic rice of 17 samples and non-organic rice of 13 samples grown at adjoining organic rice field were collected in 2008. Rice was grinded into brown rice, milled rice and hull, and samples were analysed for nitrogen and $\delta^{15}N$ at NICEM. Authors also made inquiries about N source for both farmers who conduct organic- and non-organic rice cultivation. In order to know whether the $\delta^{15}N$ can be used in discrimination between organic and non-organic rice, discriminant analysis were made with SPSS and logistic method. 1. Organic farmers used manure, rice bran, used mushroom culture, fermented fertilizer (company products), and oil cake, but non-organic farmers applied compound fertilizer. Rice straws were remained in organic rice field while moved out in non-organic field. 2. There were difference in $\delta^{15}N$ among organic rice and its byproduct(7.760????% in hull, 6.720????% in rice), but significant difference was not found between them. And the trend was same between province. Non-organic rice showed similar results. 3. Significant difference of $\delta^{15}N$ were found between organic rice and non-organic rice (p<0.01) and between hull of organic rice and that of non-organic rice hull (p<0.05). $\delta^{15}N$ seemed to be useful criteria for discrimination of organic and non-organic rice. 4. When applied discrimination analysis of SPSS and logistic, there were significant difference between organic rice, non-organic rice and its byproducts except brown rice and hull in SPSS method. Hull can be used as the most useful component for unknown sample prediction with 83.3% probability.

This study was carried out in order to investigate dextran formation and internal structure during fermentation of the oligosaccharide Jeung-Pyun. The dextran and sugar reducing contents of Jeung-Pyun batter and the specific volume and the internal structure of Jeung-Pyun were analyzed as a function of fermentation time. The specific volume of Jeung-Pyun peaked at the 7th hour of fermentation. The dextran content of Jeung-Pyun batters peaked at the 7~13th hour of fermentation, and Fructooligosaccharide Jeung-Pyun had the least peak value. Reducing sugar content of Jeung-Pyun batters slowly decreased as fermentation progressed. From the air pore size and distribution of Jeung-Pyun observed by SEM, the sucrose Jeung-Pyun fermented for 3~7 hours and oligosaccharide one fermented for 7 hours were judged as the best. It was concluded that dextran may be formed by fermentation of oligosaccharides as well as sucrose and dextran has a significant role on the volume expansion of Jeung-Pyun.

The present study investigated Bul-Chun-Wi Sacrificial Ritual (sacrificial service which has been handed down from generation to generation to worship the family ancestors in the period of $1400{\sim}1800$) and foods for the sacrificial service among fourteen head families in Andong area. The findings are as follows; 1. In Bul-Chun-Wi Sacrificial Rituals, family shrine has been maintained in good shape, and the table, dishes, and foods used in the rituals have not been changed so much until these days. 2. While vegetable soup is widely used as soup, one family uses the seaweed soup, the other soup mixed with meat, fish, and vegetable. Specially soybean-powdered soup, which is the distinguishable food in Andong area, has been used. 3. As a basic Ddock, mainly Si-Ru-Ddock(a steamed rice cake), piled up to 13-15 stacks, is used. Additional 7-9 kinds of Ddock are placed on top of the basic Ddock. 4. For grilled-meat food(Geuck), eight families use the raw meat, and one family uses the half-cooked meat. Recently, five families have used the cooked meat. Mostly used ones are meat-Geuck, fish-Geuck, chicken-Geuck, and the Geuck are not served one by one. Instead the Geuck are stacked in one dish designed for Geuck in order of meats from poultry, animal, fish, and shell. As the sub-dishes for rice, raw and cooked Geuck are used. 5. The number of stew (Tang) are 3 to 6 and 5 stews is the most popular. Commonly used stews are meat stew, fish stew, chicken stew, vegetable stew, blood stew, and organs stew. For the vegetable stew, buckwheat gel can be used. 6. As the fruit, chinese date, pear, nut and dried persimmons are the basic ones. The even number of 6 or 8 colorful fruits are used, while the odd number of 7 or 9 colorful fruits are used in three head families. 7. As Sik-Hae which is a drink and made from fermented rice, rice Sik-Hae or fish Sik-Hae has been necessarily used. 8. As raw meat dish, the liver of cow or meat is used. As a wrapping materials, the reticulum of a ruminant, green seaweed or thinly fried egg can be used.

Physicochemical, texture, and sensory properties of Jeung-pyun prepared with different concentrations of Monascus rubber DSJ-20 (Red yeast rice) were determined. Acidities and pH values of 3-5% M. rubber DSJ-20-treated groups were similar to those of control group. Degree of surface color increased in proportion to M. rubber DSJ-20 concentration. Hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of 1-2% M. rubber DSJ-20-treated groups were higher than those of control. Network structures of 3-15% M. rubber DSJ-20-treated groups were well-formed, similar to that of control. Strong bitter taste and flavor of Monascus were detected in 5-15% M. rubber DSJ-20-treated groups through sensory evaluation. These results suggest is 3% M. rubber DSJ-20 is desirable leavening concentration for making Jeung-pyun.

The sacrificial foods using at 88 villages in Andong area where the village sacrificial rituals are performed, were investigated in 1994. The finding are as follows; 1. Since the village sacrificial rituals keep ancientry, white Baeksulki without any ingredients is used as Ddock (a steamed rice cake) in 74 villages, and in 5 villages the Baeksulki was served just in Siru (a tool used to prepare Ddock). The type of meat serving in rituals has been changing from large animal to small animal and the type of light from bowl-light to candle. 2. Though the ritual observes Confucianism style, memorial address was offered in 34 villages and only in 8 villages, liquor was served 3 times and the address was offered. In 60 villages, liquor was served only once, and calling village god, bowing twice, and burning memorial address paper were performed in order. Burning paper has been meaningful in rituals. 3. Tang (a stew) was served in 21 villages, and in 18 villages even Gook (a soup) was not used. The numbers of village which do not use cooked rice and Ddock are 14, respectively. 4. Fruits are essential in rituals foods. In 63 villages, 3 kinds of fruits are served and this is contrasted with even number of fruits in Bul-Chun-Wi Rituals. 5. In 25 villages, fish and meat are not served. As meat, chicken in 19 village are served. Meat Sikhae (a fermented rice beverage) prepared with meats or fish are served in 5 villages. Slice of dried meat is served in 73 villages commonly. 6. In gender of god for village shrine, woman in 43 villages, couple in 17 villages, man in 9 villages, mountain god in 2 villages, villages tree, etc were enshrined. In 52 villages liquor is served in rituals (liquor is used in 58 villages including serving god), in 28 villages sweet liquor (Gamju) is served for god (sweet liquor is used in 46 villages), and liquor, water, or sweet liquor is just displayed on table but not served in 8 villages. Incensing is found to be not common in village ritual, only in two villages it is performed. The most appropriate rituals food is thought to be pig for mountain god. Home dishes can not be used in village ritual and spoon is not used and chopstick is prepared from wild plant. Meat and fish are used in the raw.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of lotus leaf powder on the qualitative characteristics of Jeung-Pyun (traditional Korean fermented rice cake). To achieve the highest volume and specific volume, 4% lotus leaf powder was required. However the moisture content dropped as the lotus leaf powder was added to the mixture. In addition, pH of Jeung-Pyun decreased the longer it was allowed to ferment, but the pH increased after steaming. We also evalusted the transparency of Jeung-Pyun as lotus leaf powder was added. As the lotus leaf powder was added, the L-value decreased and the a-value and b-value increased. Additionally, the hardness, chewiness and brittleness of Jeung-Pyun increased as more lotus leaf powder was added (p<0.05), but the springiness and cohesiveness did not change. The Jeung-Pyun also became darker and the cells became less uniform as the level of lotus powder increased. A control group of Jeung-Pyun without lotus leaf powder produced the strongest takju flavor, while the sourness decreased as more lotus leaf powder was added. The addition of 2% and 4% lotus leaf powder resulted in the chewiest and most flexible Jeung-Pyun. The results of this evaluation showed that Jeung-Pyun with 4% lotus leaf powder had the best appearance, flavor, texture, and taste, and was generally the most preferred Jeung-Pyun. Finally, SEM evaluation of the Jeung-Pyun, revealed that, higher levels of lotus leaf powder resulted in larger and less consistent pores and bubbles.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Paecilomyces japonica mycelia(PJM) on pH, titrable acidity and microbiological qualify of Jeungpyun(fermented rice cake). Jeungpyun prepared with $0\~\%$ of PJM stored at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks and 7 days respectively. Before fermentation of Jeungpyun dough, viable cells of total bacterial counts(TBC), yeasts and lactic acid bacteria(LAB) were $6.0\~9.8\times10^6,\;5.3\~9.0\times10^6,\;5.4\~8.5\times10^6\;CFU/g$, respectively. During the fermentation of dough, viable cells of TBC, yeasts and LAB increased $0.3\~0.4$ log cycle and pH was decreased whereas acidity increased as the progress of fermentation. Total viable cells in Jeungpyun before storage were $5.0\times10^1\;CFU/g$. During storage of Jeungpyun, TBC, yeasts and LAB of control group increased 2.6, 2.4, 2.1 log cycle at $5^{\circ}C$ and 4.8, 4.6, 4.5 log cycle at $50^{\circ}C$, respectively, when reached at maximum level. Major microflora of Jeungpyun was composed of yeasts and LAB during fermentation of dough and storage at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. Addition of PJM, inhibited the growth of microorganisms, the changes of PH and titrable acidity of Jeungpyun during storage at both of $5^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. From these results, the addition of PJM extended the shelf-life of Jeungpyun during storage at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$.
