Leuconostoc mesenteroides SM isolated from a raw carrot was used for the fermentation of carrot juice (CJ). Lactic acid fermentation of CJ was performed at $25^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr with $0{\sim}20%$ sucrose concentration, resulting in the production of mucilage. The fermented CJ showed the complete conversion of sugar into dextran after fermentation for 24 hr in the presence of sucrose below 15% concentration. With 15% sucrose, the fermented CJ had pH 3.8, 0.9% acidity, consistency index of $3.5\;Pa{\cdot}s^n$. After cold storage for 3 weeks, fermented CJ showed slight increase in acidity and relatively constant value in pH; however, the consistency index, red color value and viable cell counts were slightly decreased for 3 weeks. The ${\beta}-carotene$ content in CJ was drastically decreased by lactic acid fermentation for 24 hr, indicating $72\;{\mu}g/mL$ as compared to $142\;{\mu}g/mL$. The fermented CJ had improved body texture, red color and stability without sedimentation.

Baekseolgi made with arrowroot flour (AF, 0 to 15% of rice flour) was steamed to examine the effect of heating on its antioxidant activity and physicochemical properties. Despite the presence of abundant dietary fiber and superior water-holding capacity of AF, moisture in baekseolgi was not significantly increased. This could partly be attributed to AF having 50% less moisture content than rice flour. Hence, hardness of baekseolgi was also not significantly altered. Total reducing capacity and flavonoid content of baekseolgi increased proportionally with the increase in AF addition. However, these values were lower than the predicted values calculated from the antioxidant activities of heated AF, which was more apparent in total reducing capacity. This indicated that the stability of non-phenolic reducing compounds in AF was lower than that of the phenolic compounds. Thermally processed baekseolgi made with 9% AF exhibited antioxidant activity without noticeable loss in the quality of the product.

Protease activities were measured in vegetables used as cooking material or a side dish. Proteases of green pepper (Kwari and Chungyang), perilla leaves, soybean sprout and mungbean sprout were showed high activities. Especially, protease in soybean sprout was the highest activity among them. After dialysis, remaining activities in mungbean sprout, green pepper (Kwari and Chungyang) and perilla leaves were 12, 23, 45% and 37%. In the results of thawing after freezing the proteases, remaining activities in sprout of mungbean and soybean were 100% and 65%. Protease in soybean sprout was showed higher activity and stability than others. Proteolytic effects of soybean sprout on myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein were showed higher than stroma protein. In SDS-PAGE, myosin heavy chain, actin and tropomyosin were hydrolyzed with increasing time. Protease activity was rapidly increased with increasing meat concentration in a early proteolysis reaction, but was slightly increased in later.

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of ACAMS(Autoclaved-cooled amylomaize VII) and ACNMS(Autoclaved-cooled normal maize starch) containing resistant starch(RS) on ASW (Australian wheat flour) rheology and noodle quality. The water absorption in farinograph increased with the addition of ACAMS and ACNMS, but the dough stability decreased with the addition. The ACNMS added flours showed the highest initial pasting temperature and the lowest peak viscosity in RVA. The addition of ACAMS and ACNMS were not effective on the weight and volume of cooked noodles during cooking time for 5 min. However, as the cooking time increased, noodle weight and volume were the highest in control(no RS added flour) and the lowest in ACNMS added flours. Noodle texture was evaluated using rheometer. The hardness of RS(ACAMS, ACNMS) added noodles was higher than that of control. Cohesiveness was significantly different between control and ACAMS added noodles, but the cohesiveness of ACNMS added noodles was similar to other noodles. The elasticity of ACNMS added noodles in sensory test was lower than that of control but the smoothness and overall acceptibility were higher.

A Helicobacter pylori urease inhibitor from Rubus coreanus Miquel has been isolated and partially characterized for aiming to Prevent H. pylori growth and decrease harmful accumulation of ammonia in human gastric mucosa. We screened urease inhibitory activities in 519 extracts library prepared by solvent extraction from 173 kinds of edible plants, medicinal herbs, herbs and seaweeds using a colorimetric urease assay system. As results of primary and secondary screening, 70% acetone extract of Rubus coreanus Miquel was selected as potent candidate, showing about 24% inhibitory activity. The acetone extract was sequentially partitioned into RCE/RCWI and RCB/RCW2 layers with ethyl acetate and butanol. The major active component in RCW2, water layer from butanol fractionation was revealed to be peptidic or proteinous substance by inhibitory activity determination after pronase digestion and periodate oxidation. RCW2-IIIc a was isolated by sequential column chromatography on DEAE-Toyopearl 650C, Butrl-Toyopearl 650M and Sephadex LH-20. The isolated urease inhibitor RCW2-IIIc $\alpha$, was highly pure proteinous substance with molecular weight of 13kDa by high-performance gel permeation liquid chromatography. RCW2-IIIc$\alpha$ has about 5 times higher inhibitory activity than 70％ acetone extract, showing high stability against heat treatment and peptic digestion.

This study estimated the effect of drone pupa meal (DPM) added as replacement of sodium nitrite (SN) and vitamin C (VC) on physico-chemical quality characteristics of emulsion-type sausages. Samples were prepared either with 150 ppm SN+200 ppm VC (control); 75 ppm SN+100 ppm VC+6.015% DPM (T1); or 12.03% DPM (T2) and then stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. The pH value decreased (p<0.05) with increase in the levels of DPM. Moisture and protein content decreased (p<0.05) but fat and ash content increased (p<0.05) with higher levels of DPM. T1 and T2 had higher (p<0.05) saturated fatty acids content and lower (p<0.05) unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids content compared to the control. Lower (p<0.05) $L^*$ and $a^*$ values and higher (p<0.05) $b^*$ and $h^{\circ}$ values were exhibited in the T1 and T2 than in the control; and $C^*$ value was the lowest (p<0.05) in T2. The TBARS content was the highest (p<0.05) in T2, especially, 2 times higher (p<0.05) than in the control. T1 and T2 had harder (p<0.05) texture compared to the control. These findings suggest that the DPM has no replacement effects against SN and VC in emulsion-type sausage, but it has negative effects on color, lipid oxidation stability, and texture.

The objective of this study was to optimize the mixing ratio of mixed bean protein concentrate (MBPC) and to improve the quality of sausage analogues. Soybean (Glycine max MERR), mung bean (Phaseolus radiatus L.), red bean [Vigna angularis (Wild.)], and pea (Pisum sativum L.) were mixed and processed to produce a MBPC, which was used to make a sausage analogue. The protein, moisture, and carbohydrate content were significantly (p<0.05) different among the samples. A significant (p<0.05) improvement was observed in textural properties (hardness, gumminess, and chewiness), cooking loss, frying loss, and emulsion stability of the sausage analogue. This study suggested the possibility of attaining high-quality sausage analogues and partial sausage analogues using MBPC, which could serve as a potential ingredient in meat analogues.

As a calorie supplement for the elderly, functional beverages based on black sesame were prepared with different roasting times (0, 10, 15, and 20 min for R-0, R-10, R-15, and R-20, respectively), and their properties were compared. The total calorie content of the beverage was adjusted to match that of half a meal to meet the nutritional requirements of the elderly. The suspension stability of all samples was maintained for 5 day by the addition of xanthan gum. Regarding the color of the beverage, L* and a* values decreased, whereas b* increased with the increase in black sesame roasting time. Among the samples, the total lignan content did not change, except for R-20, which showed a significantly lower value than the others. Total polyphenol content significantly increased with roasting time, reaching the maximum value in R-15 and R-20; however, the free radical scavenging effect decreased for R-20. Based on the results of the sensory test, R-15 was the most acceptable for customized beverages.

This study investigated the physicochemical characteristics of Korean wheat flour substituted for 0%, 15%, 30%, 45%, and 60% durum rimachinata wheat in order to develop a Korean wheat pasta suitable for consumer-preferred soft textures. The particles of Korean wheat that were less than 250 ${\mu}M$ were 87.03% of all particles, while 68.7% of durum rimachinata had particles more than 250 ${\mu}M$ in size. Durum rimachinata had more protein (13.84${\pm}$0.03) and ash (0.70${\pm}$0.02) than Korean wheat. In farinograph characteristics, water absorption, development time, stability, and weakness increased as the amounts of substituted Korean wheat flour increased. Also, the gelatinization characteristics of the amylograph exhibited an increase of gelatinization temperature and decrease in maximum viscosity. However, maximum viscosity was shown to be more than 550 B.U. until 30% of the substitution level of Korean wheat flour to durum rimachinata wheat. Also, it did not affect the texture of the noodle product. We could make pasta with softness and springiness with less than a 15% substitution level of Korean wheat flour due to similar characteristics in cooking properties such as weight, volume, water absorption, turbidity, and cooking loss when compared to the control. L and a values increased, and the b value decreased in color as substitution amounts of Korean wheat flour increased. The hardness and adhesiveness of cooking noodles was shown to be a low value at more than a 30% substitution level of Korean wheat flour, and springiness, gumminess, and chewiness all exhibited high values. In a sensory evaluation, overall acceptability was shown to have the highest score in control. More than 30% of substitution of Korean wheat flour showed high preferences. Therefore, 15% of the substitution level of Korean wheat flour could be adapted in dough and cooking properties for making pasta-substituted Korean wheat. However, a texture analyzer and sensory evaluation of cooked pasta was shown to have a good quality at more than 30% substitution level of Korean wheat flour.

Korean wheat semolina (FS: fine semolina) with similar characteristics to durum wheat semolina was substituted at rates of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% in pasta dough and the physical and cooking characteristics were investigated for making optimal pasta. Water absorption of the dough increased with the 10, 20, and 30% substitution ratio of FS. Development times were high with >30% substituted FS. This result positively influenced an increase in production and the preparation of the fresh noodle pasta. Furthermore, soft textured fresh noodles could be made due to the decrease in stability and increased weakness of the >30% substituted FS. The amylograph gelatinization characteristics of Korean wheat semolina exhibited an increase of gelatinization temperature and decrease of maximum viscosity when compared with durum wheat. The handling property of the dough showed more than 4 points in all sample groups. Weight and volume decreased and turbidity and cooking loss increased according to the increasing amount of substituted FS. However, samples with ${\leq}$ 30% FS substitution ratio had similar volumes and cooking losses when compared to the control. The L- and a-values increased and the b-value of color decreased as more FS was added. In a texture analysis, the hardness of the cooking noodles showed a low value with the >30% substituted FS. Springiness, gumminess, and chewiness exhibited a high value. In the results of a sensory evaluation, overall acceptability was high score with more than 7 points for the 30% added FS. The preferences for pasta colors were divided into white, which is similar to the Korean traditional noodle, and yellow, which is similar to durum wheat. Flavor and taste were not affected by substituting with FS. Low hardness and high chewiness was the most preferred noodle. These results suggest that >30% substituted FS was suitable for increasing quality and organoleptic qualities of Korean wheat pasta.
