This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of tofu prepared with the addition of lotus root powder (LRP). The moisture, crude ash, carbohydrate, crude protein, and crude lipid contents of the lotus root powder were 8.29%, 4.73%, 30.66%, 47.84%, and 8.48%, respectively. The yield rate of the tofu did not differ significantly according to the level of added LRP; however, there was a significant decrease in pH and a significant increase in acidity. The L and b values of the tofu decreased as the amount of LRP in the formulation increased, whereas the a value increased. Furthermore, hardness and cohesiveness increased significantly as the level of LRP increased. In sensory evaluation, LRP tofu had low scores in air cell size and a beany smell, but high scores in hardness. In terms of overall acceptability, the preferred tofu samples were the control and that containing 0.3% lotus root powder.

This study focused on the evaluation of the quality and sensory characteristics of salad dressing prepared from soy powder (Gochujang), in order to increase the level of usability for the Gochujang which is the representative seasoning and spice of Korea. The moisture content and pH of the salad dressing increased in proportion to the increasing amount of soy powder (Gochujang) (p<0.001). Regarding the sugar and salt contents, 20% of the soy powder (Gochujang) shows $26.17^{\circ}Brix$, While the largest value for salt content was 4.8%, with a significant difference existing among varivous samples (p<0.001) As the added amount of soy powder (Gochujang) increased, the sugar content of the salad dressing increased with a statistically significant change (p<0.001). Regarding chromaticity, when soy powder (Gochujang) was added the levels of lightness and yellowness showed a decreasing tendency, and the level of redness showed an increasing tendency, with a significant difference existing among various samples(p<0.001). The results of a sensory showed that, as the amount of added soy powder (Gochujang) increased, the color intensity, Gochujang flavor, and hot taste increased (p<0.001). The results of a sensory showed that, as the amount of added soy powder (Gochujang) increased, the Salad dressing of the glossy, sour flavor, sour taste, and oily level decreased tendency (p<0.001). The results of an acceptance test showed that a 15% content of the soy powder (Gochujang)showed the greatest acceptance values in categories such as appearance, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. Therefore, when making a salad dressing with Gochujang, it is appropriate to add a 15% content of Gochujang to improve the quality and sensory characteristics of the salad dressing.

Physical properties of Yukwa base extruded with glutinous rice flour, rice flour, defatted soy flour, and salt using an twin-screw extruder were investigated. The ingredients were extruded at various moisture contents (16-18%), screw speeds (300 & 400 rpm) at 43.4 kg/hr feed rate. Length and specific volume of Yukwa base increased with decreasing moisture contents. Hunter's color L* values of Yukwa base was higher whereas $a^*\;and\;b^*$ values were lower with increasing moisture content. Water absorption index of Yukwa base increased with increasing moisture contents. X-ray diffraction of Yukwa base showed B type moisture content of 16% and 17% while it showed A type moisture content of 18%. Degree of crystallinity and breaking strength of Yukwa base were the lowest in the moisture content of 16% while the lowest value for hardness was found in the moisture content of 16% and of 17% with screw speed 400 rpm for all samples. In the microstructure of cross section of Yukwa base, air cell size was larger and cell wall was thicker as moisture content increased. The sensory evaluation of the Yukwa base showed that color and flavor were not significantly different among samples, while taste, appearance, mouth feel, and overall preference were higher as moisture contents decreased.

This study investigated the effects of ultra-ground seaweed powders (USP) on the physicochemical properties (proximate composition, mineral contents, pH, color, shear force, sensory evaluation, electronic nose, and electronic tongue) of restructured black goat jerky. Restructured black goat jerky was prepared using three different treatments, i.e., 3% (w/w) each of ultra-ground sea tangle (ST; Undaria pinnatifida), sea mustard (SM; Saccharina japonica), and sea string (SS; Gracilaria verrucosa) powders. Moisture and ash contents were significantly higher in the USP-treated group than in the control (p<0.05). Potassium, calcium, and zinc contents were significantly higher in the SM than in the other USP-treated groups (p<0.05). In contrast, pH values were significantly higher in the ST and SM than in the control and SS (p<0.05). CIE L^*, CIE a^*, CIE b^*, and shear force were significantly lower in the USP-treated groups than in the control (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation revealed no significant difference in taste, texture, seaweed-like odor, and goaty flavor (p<0.05). Principal component analysis (PCA) and peak graph analysis of the electronic nose showed that the SS differed the most from the control compared with the other USP-treated groups, owing to the seaweed odor of ultra-ground SS powder. The PCA and ranking analysis of the electronic tongue showed that the umami taste of the SM was higher than that of the control and other USP-treated groups. Therefore, the potassium, calcium, zinc contents, and umami taste of reconstituted black goat jerky were significantly higher in the SM than in the control and other USP-treated groups.

This study was attempted to investigate the physicochemical changes during soybean-leaf water kimchis fermentation by adding wheat flour in cooking water. Soybean-leaf water kimchis with five different levels of wheat flour in cooking water(0%;A, 5%;B 10%;c, 15%;D, 20%;E) were tested for rhological parameters, fine structural changes, sensory evaluations and chemical analysis. The composition of the soybean-leaf was moisture (80.9%), protein(6.8%), fat(0.6%), ash(2.1%) and alkalinity (+14.9). The amount of reducing sugars of sample A and other samples were 0.75% and 1.08∼1.4% in the initial fermentation stage, but decreased to 0.3 and 0.43∼0.50% in the later fermentation stage, respectively. The pH of sample A decreased from 5.17 to 4.72 during the initial fermentation. On sample B, C, D and E, pH's decreased rapidly during the initial fermentation, but they did not change much in the later fermentation stage. The pectin contents of all samples decreased during 2nd and 4th day of fermentation, then the change was slow. The amount of hemicellulose. cellulose and lignin in terms of the DNF and ADF were varied from 4 to 33%, but the contents of them did not greatly changed during the fermentation. The sensory evaluation showed that both B and C samples had the good score in sweety taste, roasted nutty taste, and the ease of swallowing measured as chewiness. From these results, the optimum soybean-leaf water kimchis can be prepared when 200g soybean-leaf, 1000$m\ell$ water, 15g garlic, 3% red pepper powder and 5 ∼0% wheat flour were fermented at 20$^{\circ}C$ for 2 days.

To improve the sensory acceptability of Kochujang with added Meju powder, Kochujang was prepared with added raw soy powder and roasted soy powder were added instead of Meju powder. These Kochujang were fermented for 45 days at $25{\pm}3^{\circ}C$ and examined for changes in their physicochemical properties and sensory characteristics. Results were as follows. In the moisture content and acidity of Kochujang, the group with added Meju powder was the highest. There were no significant differences in the lightness (L value), although the group with added with Meju powder and raw soy powder were decreased in lightness over days of storage. For redness (a value), the group with added raw soy powder was the highest, and the group with added raw soy powder was decreased with increasing storage days. For yellowness (b value), the group with added roasted soy powder was the highest, and there was no significant difference over storage days. The reducing sugar content of Kochjang to which roasted soy powder was added was the highest, and the amino-nitrogen contents of Kochjang to which Meju powder was added was the highest In sensory evaluation, the Kochjang with added roasted soy powder had the best score in taste and overall acceptability. Therefore, these results suggest that roasted soy powder can be applied to Kochjang for enhanced sensory preference.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of various kinds of salt on the quality and storage characteristics of tteokgalbi. The tteokgalbi was prepared using four types of salt: 1.5% purified salt (control, C), 1.5% five-year-old solar salt (FS), 1.5% Topan solar salt (TS), and 1.5% French Gu$\acute{e}$rande solar salt (GS). The moisture, crude lipid, crude ash, crude protein and calorie contents, water holding capacity, and cooking loss were not significantly different between control and all other treatments. As for the textural characteristics, the use of GS increased the hardness of the tteokgalbi. According to the sensory evaluation, the use of TS had the best score in springiness. Tteokgalbi made with TS and GS had the two highest scores in flavor and total acceptability. During 15 d of storage, the contents of 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and the total microbial counts increased, while the pH decreased. The TBA values of the tteokgalbi containing TS and GS were lower than that of C. Lightness (L) and yellowness (b) values decreased during storage, but redness (a) displayed no significant difference during storage. Overall, the best results, in terms of TBA value and sensory attributes, were obtained for the tteokgalbi containing TS and GS.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of mulberry leaf powder on the antioxidant activity and the quality characteristics of maejakgwa (a Korean traditional cookie). Maejakgwa was prepared with different amounts of mulberry leaf powder (in ratios of 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12% to the flour quantity). The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity and the total phenol content in mulberry leaf powder and maejakgwa. For analyzing the quality characteristics, bulk density and the pH of the dough, moisture contents, color, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluations were measured. The total phenol contents, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, bulk density of the batter and the a values of maejakgwa significantly increased with increasing mulberry leaf powder, whereas the pH of the batter, L values and b values of the maejakgwa significantly decreased with increasing mulberry leaf powder content. Finally, the results of the acceptance test indicated that maejakgwa containing 6% mulberry leaf powder had the highest scores. From these results, we suggest that mulberry leaf is a good ingredient for increasing consumer acceptability as well as the functionality of maejakgwa.

This study was conducted to investigate physicochemical properties of extrudates combining 4 levels of squid (0, 3, 5 and 7%) with 3 levels of defatted soy flour (0, 5, and 10%). Blends were adjusted to moisture content of 27% and then extruded in a single-screw laboratory extruder at 170rpm screw speed and 16$0^{\circ}C$ barrel temperature. The extruded materials were dried at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 8hr to a moisture content of 3~4% and refrigerated at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 12 hour before examination for textural properties, expansion ratio, bulk density, shear force and Hunter color. Expansion ratio of extrudates decreased as squid content increased whereas bulk density and shear force increased. Expansion ratio of extrudates was not significantly different by defatted soyflour level. Bulk density of products decreased as defatted soyflour content increased but shear force of products increased as defatted soyflour content increased. In scores of sensory hedonic evaluation of snacks, appearance, flavor, texture and overall acceptability values had lowered as squid level increased. Therefore, according to materials contents on extrudates increased, nutritional contents of this products increased and also shear force and bulk density in physical properties increased whereas expansion ratio decreased.
