The effect of UV-C irradiation on microbial growth and quality of red pepper powder during storage was examined. Red pepper powder was irradiated with doses of 27, 54, or $108\;kJ/m^2$ and stored at $20^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks. UV-C treatment of red pepper powder decreased the populations of total aerobic bacteria and Bacillus cereus in proportion to radiation dose. In particular, total aerobic bacteria and B. cereus populations decreased by 1.03 and 0.90 log CFU/g after irradiation at $108\;kJ/m^2$, respectively, compared with control values. UV-C irradiation caused negligible changes in the Hunter color L, a, or b values. Sensory quality results on red pepper powder were not significantly different between treatments. Therefore, UV-C irradiation can be used to inhibit microbial growth in red pepper powder, without impairing quality during storage.

This study developed patties using the Antarctic krill Euphausia superba and investigated the food quality of the patties. Three different types of krill patty were produced: krill patties with added 1) corn oil (CKP), 2) AA grade surimi (AKP), and FA grade surimi (FKP). Their proximate composition, Hunter color value, texture, sensory evaluation, and levels of astaxanthin, cholesterol, calories, total amino acids, fatty acids, and fluoride were investigated. The moisture and crude protein contents were highest in FKP. The calorie and astaxanthin contents were highest in CKP and lowest in AKP. The cholesterol content was highest in CKP and lowest in AKP. Measuring the Hunter color value of cross-sections of the patties, the L values were highest for FKP, and the a and b values highest for AKP. The total amino acids were highest in FKP and lowest in CKP. The major fatty acids were highest in FKP. The hardness and chewiness were highest in FKP and lowest in CKP. The fluoride content was highest in AKP and lowest in FKP. The sensory evaluation had the highest scores for FKP and lowest for CKP. Accordingly, FKP appears to have better food quality than the other two products.

Alkaline treatment during preparation of anchovy extracts was studied for its changes in some of the physicochemical and sensory qualities. The dried anchovy was blended in 0-0.5N NaOH solutions and then incubated at $60^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours. After extraction the suspensions were neutralized and centrifuged. The results showed that the yields of solids and protein were increased by 3-5 fold of those of water extract as alkaline concentration and treatment time increased. The intrinsic viscosity showed little changes for the extracts prepared with 0-0.2N NaOH solution while the extracts prepared with over 0.3N NaOH resulted a initial small decrease followed by a rapid increase to the maximum point. The changes in color expressed as Hunter 'L', 'a' and 'b' values showed that the L value increased rapidly until 3 hours of treatment followed by a decrease, and 'a' and 'b' values were increased a little. The intensities of odor and taste were markedly increased by 2-3 fold for all of the descriptions investigated where clam-like odor and taste and sea complex odor were particularly significant.

Effects of KCl addition in brining solution, microwave heating and salts mixture addition into half fermented Kakdugi on physical and sensory properties were investigated during fermentation and storage. The concentration range of salts added were $0.001{\sim}0.01\;M$. The hardness of the Chinese radish was rapidly reducing during first 30 minutes of fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$ and then slightly decreased thereafter, while storage at $4^{\circ}C$ caused much slower decrease. Kakdugi prepared by salting in NaCl-KCI solution showed a slight higher values in hardness. The Hunter color values of Kakdugi liquid was steadily increased in 'L' value and slight decrease in 'a' value during fermentation. The Kakdugi prepared by salting in NaCl-KCl solution and stored after addition of salts mixture was evaluated desirable for organoleptic odor and taste.

Browning chracteristics were investigated for Chicory roots(Cichorium intybus L.) when roasted at different conditions of 120 to $180^{\circ}C$ in temperature and 10 to 40min in time. The soluble solid of water extracts obtained from roasted Chicory roots increased slowly with increasing roasting temperature and time, but it decreased above $160^{\circ}C$. The contents of reducing sugar and amino-type nitrogen in aqueous extracts obtained from roasted Chicory roots decreased rapidly with increasing the roasting time and temperature. Browning color intensity in aqueous extracts of roasted Chicory roots increased with increasing the roasting temperature and time, Hunter's color L and b values of Chicory powder decreased with increasing the roasting temperature and time, while Hunter's color a and ${\Delta}E$ values continuously increased with increasing the roasting temperature and time.

This study was conducted to evaluate the microbial (Total aerobic count, Coliform, Coagulase positive Staphylococci, Salmonella, Yeast/Mold, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus), Hunter'color values ($L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$) and organoleptic quality of freeze-dried Miyeokguk, Korean seaweed soup in space food. Bacillus cereus was 1 log level while not detected in the sample irradiated at 10 kGy. Hunter's color values of the samples irradiated less than 10 kGy was not significantly different (p>0.05). The sensory evaluation result showed that the preference scores in all the sensory properties decreased when it was irradiated over 10 kGy, but sensory score of less than 10 kGy samples was similar in all terms. Therefore, it was considered that gamma irradiation at 10 kGy was enough to sterilize the freeze-dried Miyeokguk without deterioration of sensory quality.

This study is carried out to sanitize rape (Brassica napus) pollen by gamma irradiation. Rape pollens were treated with 0, 5, 10 and 15 kGy gamma irradiations, and then analyzed for the following: general composition, microbial population, reducing sugar, Hunter color values, TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) values, and VBN (volatile basic nitrogen). Mold and coliform bacteria were not detected in the samples irradiated at 5 kGy or more. Yeasts and total aerobic bacteria were not detected in the samples irradiated at 10 kGy or more (<$10^2$ CFU/g). Moisture, ash, crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, reducing sugar and the contents of volatile basic nitrogen in the irradiated pollen did not show any significant changes by irradiation. Hunter color values, $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$ values were decreased with increment of irradiation dose. TBARS values were increased with an increment of irradiation dose. In conclusion, gamma irradiation at 5 kGy was considered to be an effective treatment to control for mycotoxin producing fungi in rape pollen to minimize changes of general composition and physicochemical properties. Further studies should be investigated to reduce the detrimental effects induced by irradiation.

To evaluate the storage characteristics of Korean soups for the utilization of the Ready-Prepared Foodservice System, Yukkaejang(spicy beef and vegetable soup), Sagol-woogeojitang (bone soup with young cabbage), Kalbitang(beef short-ribs soup) and Seolleongtang(beef and bone soup) were prepared and their physico-chemical characteristics were investigated according to storage time and temperature$(4^{\circ}\;to\;20^{\circ}C)$ through analysis of pH, TBA values, Hunter color values, microbial counts, and sensory evaluation. No significant difference in pH was shown among the 4 kinds of soup while TBA values were significantly increased with storage time and temperature. Hunter color values(L, a and b values) of the Korean soups were significantly increased except Yukkaejang. In the sensory evaluation, appearance, color, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability of the soups decreased significantly with increasing storage time and temperature. Through correlation analysis between quality factors of treatments stored at $4^{\circ}$, the overall acceptability in Yukkaejang and Seolleongtang showed significant positive correlation with appearance, color, flavor and texture. The evaluated shelf-life of all four Korean soups was within 3 days at $10^{\circ}$, suggesting that Korean soups are applicable to ready-prepared foodservice system.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of cookies containing Ligularia fischeri powder (0, 1, 2, 3, 4%) substituted for flour. This study measured the density, pH, spread ratio, volume, color values, hardness, and sensory properties of cookies. The pH of cookie dough significantly decreased in response to addition of Ligularia fischeri powder (LFP) at all levels. The spread factor of cookies also significantly increased with higher LFP content. In addition, Hunter's color L, a, and b values significantly decreased with increasing LFP content. According to hardness measurement, substitution of 1~4% LFP resulted in increased hardness compared to the control. In the sensory evaluation, sensory scores for color, flavor, and overall acceptability were highest in 2% Ligularia fischeri powder cookies. Thus, our results suggest that the optimum amount of Ligularia fischeri powder added to cookies was 2%. These results suggest that Ligularia fischeri powder can be applied to cookies to achieve high quality and functionality.
