It was tried to utilize organic waste sludge from wastewater treatment plant as a starting material to produce a solid fuel by vacuum flying. The effects of decompression levels, frying time and temperature on the calorific value and moisture of vacuum fried sludge were systematically investigated. Dewatered raw sludge used in this study had a moisture of 81.1% and calorific value of 2,930 kcal/kg. Based on the experimental observation, it was identified that the decompression level and frying time have the greatest influence on the calorific value of vacuum fried sludge. Moistures of the fried sludge at $180^{\circ}C$ for 25 min in 760 mmHg, 684 mmHg and 630 mmHg were 32.4%, 14.2% and 11.6%, respectively. Calorific values of the vacuum fried sludge at $140^{\circ}C$ for 15 min and 25 min were 5,400 kcal/kg and 5,540 kcal/kg in 684 mmHg and 5,520 kcal/kg and 5,660 kcal/kg in 630 mmHg, respectively.

As people are being exposed to many types of fast food, rancid oil is a factor affecting public health. Monitoring of rancidity in frying oils needs to be done adequately. The chemical methods that are currently used require long periods of time and expertise. The development of a device that quickly and easily measures rancidity would be helpful to manage rancidity in frying oils adequately. Due to the fact that carbon nanotube (CNT) is sensitive to acid value, we used CNT as a sensing material for detecting oil rancidity. Polyethylenimine (PEI) was coated on CNT for stable measurements. Experiments were conducted at $100^{\circ}C$ after samples were cooled from $180^{\circ}C$. The results showed a strong correlation between acid values and resistances using CNT sensors. As the acid value of oils increased, the resistance of CNT sensors increased. Development of sensors using CNT may make it possible to determine the rancidity of frying oils in real-time and on site.

In this study, we carried out the preparing standardization and regulation of processed Glycyrrhizae Radix (PGR) which have been widely used in oriental medicines. Glycyrrhizae Radix(GR) have been generally prepared by the stir-frying, or mix-frying with honey for the purpose of decreasing sweetness and augmenting vitality. Firstly, we tried to standardize PGR prepared by the stir-frying. We purchased 14 kinds of PGR and non-processed GR(NPGR) at oriental physician's offices and oriental pharmacies on a nation scale, respectively. The amounts of dry on loss, water extract, diluted ethanol extract, ether extract, total ash, acid insoluble ash, glycyrrhizin(GL), glycyrrhetic acid(GA) and liquiritin(LQ) of them were examined. The amounts of dry on loss, GL and LQ in commercial PGRs showed remarkable decrease, while GA showed increased as compared with NPGR. In order to standardize preparing method of PGR, the effect of heating time on physico-chemical parameters and biological activities were examined. Physico-chemical parameters such as dry on loss, extract amount, GL and LQ contents in PGRs showed decrease, however, GA was increased with heating time as compared with NPGR. Also, GA, obtained from heat-treated GR, was found as an artifact in PGRs. PGR was more effective than NPGA in vitro test of DPPH scavenging effect and TBA-Rs reducing effect. PGR and NPGR showed potent hepatoprotective effect on $CCl_4-intoxicated$ rats. Especially, PGR prepared by 80 min of heating was the most effective. Considering these results, the optimal condition for PGR preparation was $150^{\circ}C$ for 80 min.

To evaluate the effect of frying times on the oxidative stability of soybean oil and shortening, they were reused up to 10 times and measured by thiobarbituric acid(TBA) value, acid value(AV), peroxide value(POV) and sensory evaluation. As the reusing time was increased, TBA value of "battered pork" fried with shortening showed more sharply increased than that with soybean oil, while the value of shortening, itself, showed more decreased than that of soybean oil. In frying fat, AV and POV increased with the increase of reusing times. Compared with soybean oil, shortening had rapidly increased for POV as reusing time was increased. Among the sensory analyses TBA of "battered pork" with soybean oil and shortening exhibited the highest correlation with flavor and texture, respectively. For the "batgtered pork" fried with soybean oil and shortening, reusing shelf-lives predicted were approximately 9 and 8 times, respectively.

All of the subjects of the investigation (n=141) were schools that have food services under direct management. The number of students who get food services at the schools were $1,001{\sim}1,500$ students with 46.8% investigation. In school food services, fried foods were highly preferred and the biggest merits of fried foods were (in order of highest importance) 'improvement of food services satisfaction'> 'source of calories supply'> 'easiness of cooking process'. Service frequency of fried food were in the order of 'twice a week'> 'three times a week'> 'once a week', and for the factors to decide service frequency of fried food, 'preference leaning on fried food', and 'excessive fat intake' were the most considered. The most considered factors in the case of choosing fried food were 'preference' and 'calories and nutritional value'. For the cautious steps during the frying process, 'keeping after frying' was picked the most, and the reasons were 'lack of containers to keep in appropriate temperature and quality' and 'time consuming'. For preference and service frequency of ingredients in fried foods, 'chicken' and 'pork' were very high. As the result, it was analyzed that preference by ingredients matched service in school lunches by using a ranking test. Total cooking and processing time of fried foods required in school lunches were approximately $237{\pm}99$ minutes ${\sim}291{\pm}141$ minutes which showed total required time was about same no matter what ingredients were used. As the result of comparing and analyzing the processes, vegetables took less thawing and frying time, but the processing time for vegetables was more complicated since handling time before frying was longer compared to meat. In the important management process by the main groups of fried foods, the frying process was the most cautious cooking process in the category of meat or fish and shellfish used as ingredients. In addition, if vegetables were used as ingredients, storing it after frying was the process that needed the most care.

This study was designed to revive the disappeared Younsa and to investigate the optimum processing condition and characteristics of Younsa nade of the glutinous rice powder. Agitating time of base mixture, thickness of Younsa base, and frying time were examined as the influencing factors in Younsa processings. The textural parameters of Younsa were determined by sensory cvaluation and hardness of Younsa was measured by Rheometer. The results were found as follows; 1. In the sensory evaluation, 1) The Younsa base agitated for 10 minutes by agitating machine was favorable. It, however, did not showed any significant difference among products prepared under varying agitaing time-10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes. (p<0.05) 2) The thinnest Younsa base (5 cm$\times$4cm, 1.1-1.5g) showed the most favorable quality and the second quality went to 5cm$\times$4cm, 1.6-2.0g, the third 5cm$\times$4cm, 2.1-2.5g, the fourth 5 cm$\times$4 cm, 2.6-3.0g. (p<0.05) 3) In examination of varying frying time, the optimal time for frying Younsa was 12 minutes was 12 minutes in $150 ^{\circ}C$. However, the quality was found no significant difference between 12 minutes's fried Younsa and 14 minutes's. (p<0.05). 2. The hardness of the most favorable Younsa, agitated for 10 minutes, the thinnest (5 cm$\times$4 cm, 1.1-1.5g), ana fried for 12 minutes in $150^{\circ}C$ was 0.59-0.73 kg/wt measured by Rheometer. The thickest Younsa base (5 cm$\times$4 cm, 2.6-3.0g) is the hardest (1.26 kg/wt). The most optimal conditions in this experiment were found the same ones which was written in historical literature.

Garlic was subjected to eight different cooking methods (raw, boiling, steaming, microwave cooking, deep-frying, oven-roasting, pan-frying, and pan-roasting) utilized for typical Korean cuisine. Garlic was analyzed for antioxidant activities and physicochemical properties to elucidate effects of cooking. Garlic cooked at higher temperatures showed significantly lower lightness and higher yellowness (P<0.001). In particular, deep-frying and pan-frying resulted in lowest lightness and soluble solid content, indicating that non-enzymatic browning reactions were more facilitated. Compared with raw garlic, all cooked garlic tended to have lower thiosulfinates, presumably due to decomposition into polysulfides and/or leaching into cooking water and oil. Microwave cooking retained organic acids, total reducing capacity, and flavonoids, which can be attributed to low microwave intensity and shorter cooking time under which heat-labile bioactive components might have undergone less decomposition. Cooking significantly increased metal-chelating activity (P<0.001). In addition, oven-roasting and pan-roasting enhanced total reducing capacity and flavonoid content, indicating that thermal treatments increased the extractability of bioactive components from garlic. However, boiling, deep-frying, and pan-frying, in which garlic is in contact directly with a hot cooking medium, reduced antioxidant activities. Deep-frying resulted in largest reduction in DPPH radical scavenging activity of garlic, which correlated well with reduction of total reducing capacity and flavonoid content. The results show that the antioxidant activity of garlic could be affected by cooking method, particularly heat intensity and/or direct contact of the cooking medium.

Pork cutlets contains high amounts of fat and calories even though they are highly preferred among young consumers in Korea. We investigated the use of an oven cooking method using brown crumbs to replace the frying method for the preparation of pork cutlets. The average contents of fat and calories in oven cooked pork cutlets were reduced by 77.5% and 35.2% respectively, when compared to cutlets prepared using the frying method (p<0.05). These results demonstrate that pork cutlets prepared by oven cooking may be helpful to people who require dietary treatment. In a color experiment, the surface color of oven cooked pork cutlets showed no difference when brown crumbs were used (p>0.05). In an experiment for texture characteristics, the level of hardness for the oven cooked cutlets showed no difference from that of the fried cutlets (p>0.05), and the degree of batter separation also did not differ. The oven cooking method demonstrated a 65.6% improvement in pork cutlet production, and is therefore appropriate for a food service that must serve many customers in a limited time.
