The moistures, colors and flavors of red pepper were analyzed to observe the changes of the qualities of red pepper with various conditions of drying. The moisture was 11.8%, known as optimal condition for storing red pepper, where dried at $50^{\circ}C$ for 36 and 48 hours. The color of red pepper air-dried at 50% for 48 hours was estimated to be the most execllent in comparison of sun drying and air drying. The optimal absorbances of hexnae extract from red pepper were examined. The ratios between the absorbances at 280nm and at the typical wavelengths of caretenoids(430nm, 450nm, 474nm) were from 2.5-3.4 and these wete also confirmed by the sight of the eye. Hexane fraction showed more peaks of flavors than benzene fraction and both of the two were silylated by with BSTFA to analyze the flavors by GC. CG profiles for the compositions of flavors in red perpper are thought to be useful for extimating the quality of favors in red pepper. Eight flavors including benzene dicarbozylic acid, were identified from red pepper and major components of them were oleic palmitic acids. Drying temperatures and times did not have effects on the changes of specific flavor components but did influenced the compositions of them in red pepper.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of mungbean starch gels that were prepared with different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%) of peach seed powders (PSP), which exhibit antioxidant characteristics. Mungbean starch gel samples were prepared and subjected to quality characteristics such as moisture content, general components, color, texture profile analysis, total polyphenol contents, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and sensory qualities. The L-value and the a-value for color decreased significantly, whereas the b-value increased significantly as the PSP concentration increased (p<0.05). In the texture profile analysis, the mungbean starch gel with 1.5% PSP showed significantly lower degrees of hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and brittleness (p<0.05). The total polyphenol content was highest in the 1.5% PSP to which mungbean starch gel was added, which also showed a higher than 70% DPPH radical scavenging activity level in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.05). In the sensory test of the mungbean starch gel, its sensory scores for flavor and taste were highest in the 0.5% PSP to which mungbean starch gel was added.

A Korean traditional food, sulgidduk, was prepared with the supplementation of whole wheat flour (WWF) high in dietary fiber, and its quality characteristics were investigated depending on the WWF content (3, 5, and 7%). There was no significant difference found in moisture content of final products. Colorimetric analysis revealed that L-value representing brightness decreased with increasing WWF content. In texture profile analysis, freshly-made samples did not show measurable difference in hardness depending on WWF content. However, stored samples at 25$^{\circ}C$ for up to 3 days exhibited a decrease in hardness with increasing WWF content, indicating retardation of retrogradation related to WWF addition. Springiness and chewiness values showed decreasing trend with WWF content especially for stored samples. Retardation of retrogradation with WWF addition was also evidenced by observing the increment of time constant calculated from Avrami equation. Analysis of sensory evaluation demonstrated that considering flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability, 5% substitution of rice flour with WWF could be a promising formulation for quality product with high nutritional value.

The effects of sea tangle, sea mustard, hijiki, and glasswort were investigated based on the proximate composition, salinity, cooking loss, emulsion stability, pH, color, texture profile analysis, apparent viscosity, and sensory characteristics of reduced-salt (NaCl) meat batter and frankfurters. The moisture content, salinity, lightness of the meat batter and frankfurter, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of the reduced-salt frankfurters with sea weeds were lower than the control without seaweed (p<0.05). The protein content, springiness, and cohesiveness of the reduced-salt frankfurters were not significantly different among the treatments (p>0.05). The moisture content, salinity, cooking loss, lightness, redness, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of treatments with sea tangle and with sea mustard were lower than the control (p<0.05). Among the sensory traits, color was highest in the control (p<0.05). The flavor was also highest in the control. The treatments with sea tangle and with sea mustard samples had high tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptability scores similar to the control (p<0.05). The results of this study show that the combination of low-salt and seaweed in the formulation successfully improved reduced-salt frankfurters, improving sensory characteristics to levels similar to the regular salt control (1.5%).

Quality changes of sausages in refrierated storage for 60 days were investigated. Nine types of sausages produced in Korea were stored at 4$^{\circ}C$(3~5$^{\circ}C$), and then chemical, microbiological, and sensory characteristics were evaluated on every 10 days. The proximate analysis showed considerable variation in fat (23.97%, 17.10~30.20%) with less variation in moisture (51.96%, 48.10~56.30%) and protein (12.96%, 11.40~13.95%), pH value decreased over time averaging from 6.31 to 6.22 with no significant difference. Water activity was consistent over refrigerated storage averaging 0.95. Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) values were still within 20 mg% though VBN for all types significantly increased over time (p<0.05). Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values were well below 1.0 though TBA showed significant differences among storage periods (p<0.05). Standard plate counts (SPCs) significantly increased during storage (p<0.05) while coliform group was not counted in all cases. SPCs reached 104 CFU/g in two types after 50 days' storage and were below 105 CFU/g in all types after 60 days' storage. Instrumental texture analysis showed that springiness, adhesiveness, and hardness signficantly decreased over time (p<0.05) while no change was observed in external color. significantly decreased over time the 60-day storage period (p<0.05) while cohesiveness, chewiness and gumminess did not change. Lightness, redness and yellowness of the internal Hunter color significantly decreased over time (p<0.05) while no change was observed in external color. Sensory profile showed that flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptable after 60 days' storage at 4$^{\circ}C$. However, the shelf-life of the samples should be decided in the consideration of the growth rate other spoilage flora coupled with the bacterial growth after 50 days' storage.

The objective of this study was to investigate the quality and sensory characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with different amounts of ginseng paste. Ginseng paste was incorporated with yanggaeng at a range of different levels of 5~15% based on the total weight of water. The pH and total acidity of yanggaeng were 6.35~6.49% and 0.03~0.07%, respectively. The sugar content of yanggaeng in the control was $25.0^{\circ}Brix$ and showed proportional increases up to $25.0{\sim}29.7^{\circ}Brix$ with increasing levels of ginseng paste. In terms of the texture profile analysis, the hardness and adhesiveness of yanggaeng decreased but the cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness increased compared to the control and ginseng paste added treatments. In color value determination, the $L^*$ and $a^*$ values decreased but the $b^*$ value increased with increasing levels of ginseng paste. The sensory evaluation indicated that the yanggaeng contained up to 15% ginseng paste and showed similar flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptance in the control. These results suggest that ginseng paste is an ingredient that can enhance the quality and sensory potential of yanggaeng.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of sponge cakes with addition of yam (Dioscorea) powders prepared by different drying methods, hot air (HDYP : hot air dried yam powder) and freeze drying (FDYP: freeze dried yam powder), using several physical and sensory examinations. For the foam forming ability and foam stability, the specific gravities of egg foams containing 5% yam powders were measured by drainage using funnels for 78 hrs. The results showed that HDYP and FDYP did not affect the foam forming ability but FDYP increased foam stability due to increased viscosity. When the strength of 8% gels composed of wheat starch and HDYP/FDYP was measured to predict the setting of cake structure, the strengths of starch gels containing yam powders were higher than those of control without yam powders. The volume of sponge cake containing 5% HDYP increased whereas those containing FDYP decreased at the levels of 5, 7%. From the texture profile analysis data, hardness, gumminess and chewiness of cakes containing yam powders increased. The color of cake crust and crumb became darker as the amount of yam powders increased. The results of sensory evaluation by QDA (quantitative descriptive analysis) to compare two different drying methods showed that appearance and texture of cakes containing 5% HDYP were closer to those of control than cakes containing 5% FDYP but overall acceptability of sponge cakes containing yams were comparable to the control cakes regardless of drying methods. The addition of yam powders to sponge cakes increased yam flavor and decreased egg smell. Therefore, it can be suggested that HDYP and FDYP can be added to the sponge cake formula up to 7% and 5%, respectively.

The objective of this study was to asses the quality characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with different ratios of chestnut powder: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The moisture content of the control yanggaeng was higher than that of any other chestnut powder added groups. In terms of color, The lightness (L) and yellowness (b) decreased significantly, but redness (a) increased with increasing contents of chestnut powder. The total polyphenol content and DPPH free radical scavenging activities increased as the amount of chestnut powder. Texture profile analysis showed that the hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and chewiness were higher than the control group. The result of sensory evaluation test and the overall acceptability showed that the taste, color, flavor, chewiness, softness and overall acceptability were the highest in the 10~15% added group while the color and softness were identified no significant different group. Based on these results, it is suggested that yanggaeng with up 10~15% added chestnut powder can be developed as products.
