  • The aim of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Karedduk, Korean rice cakes, containing cactus (as Opuntia humifusa) fruit powder at a concentration of 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8% during three days of storage. The moisture content of the cooked cake just before storage ranged from 45.55~49.70%, indicating that the moisture content decreased as the amount of the powder added inceased. The L value, which is a measure of the lightness of the cake color decreased as the amount of added powder increased. In addition, the L value sharply decreased after one day of storage relative to its valve just after the cake was cooked. However, no significant changes were observed at longer storage times except at a fruit powder concentration of 2%. The a value, which is a measure of the redness, was significantly increased with an increase in the amount of added powder. The b value, which is a measure of the yellowness, was the same for all the treatments regardless of the amount of the powder added. The a and b values did not display any regular patterns in terms of the amount of powder added as a function of storage time. In regards to mechanical quality characteristics, the hardness and the gumminess of the cake just cooked tended to be increase with an increase in the amount of added powder indicating that no significant differences between the non-treatments and the treatments existed. The hardness of the cake did not change after two days of storage relative to when they were just cooked at all powder concentrations: however, the hardness of the cake after three days of storage was found to drop significantly with an increase in the amount of added powder. The cohesiveness of the cake right after cooking tended to decrease with an increase in the amount of added powder. The springiness of the cake right after it was cooked and on the second day of storage, did not significantly different as a function of powder concentration. The chewiness of the cake right after cooking increased with an increase in the amount of added powder. In the sensory test, the color and the flavor of the cake containing a powder concentration of 6% was found to be the highest. In addition and the chewiness significantly with an increase in the amount of added powder. In both taste and overall acceptability, the cake containing a powder concentration of 4% was determined to be the highest, showing no significant differences in taste relative to the cakes made with a powder concluded that it would be the best to cook Karedduk which a of cactus (Opuntia humifusa) fruit powder concentration of 4~6%.

  • In order to make acquire a potential use for Opuntia humifusa as a natural functional food material, this study was performed to determine the quality properties of Jeung-pyun made with added Opuntia humifusa, or prickly pear powder. According to an analysis of its major components, we found that the prickly pear powder consisteds of nitrogen-free extracts (71.85%) and crude fiber (11.20%). Greater additions of prickly pear powder had resulted in significantly lower pH in the of Jeung-pyun. According to measurements on the degree of Jeung-pyun gelatinization, by means of ${\beta}$-amylase, greater additions of prickly pear powder led to the higher levels of isolated maltose, indicating that the gelatinization degree of the Jeung-pyun became higher. Also, samples with higher concentrations of prickly pear powder had a tendency toward lower water content, which allowed us to expect a longer storage duration for the Jeung-pyun. In the textural property tests the Jeung-pyun that had less hardness and greater adhesiveness (p<0.05) than the control group as the content of prickly pear powder became higher. Also, the Jeung-pyunhad lower gumminess and chewiness than the control group as the content of prickly pear powder became higher. Therefore, it is possible to prepare relatively soft Jeung-pyun using prickly pear powder. For the color differences of the Jeung-pyun samples, lower L- values, and higher a- and b -values (p<0.05) presented as the addition level of prickly pear powder became higher. According to SEM observations of the Jeung-pyun, the added prickly pear powder addition groups generally showed a smaller and more inconsistent pore size, but higher porosity, than the control group. According to sensory analyses of the Jeung-pyun, the P2 group scored highest for color item, and the P4 group generated the fermented scent. Higher additions content of prickly pear powder led to the lower score, but higher scores for adhesiveness. Finally, the P2 group achieved the highest score for overall taste.

  • This research studied the effects of Backryeoncho (Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten) extract as an additive in kimchi in various amounts (0%, 0.4%, 0.8%, 1.2%), and its acceptance by middle school students in the Jeonju area. The treated kimchi had a higher pH than the untreated kimchi without extract, and the titratable acidity of the kimchi decreased with the addition of the Backryeoncho extract. The degree of salinity decreased in kimchi with the added Backryeoncho extract in a dose-dependent manner. The cutting force and compression force were higher in kimchi where the extract was added during the fermentation period resulting in improved texture of the kimchi. The addition of the extract slowed growth of total bacteria (1.83~2.12 log CFU/mL) and lactic acid bacteria (1.4 log CFU/mL) as compared with the control sample. In the sensory evaluation of overall taste, kimchi with 0.8% extract added demonstrated higher evaluation in overall categories. The acceptability of Backryeoncho extract as an additive in kimchi among middle school students was higher than in the control sample, with an optimum additive of 0.4% extract, based on the lowest volume of leftovers.

  • This research provides insight on the laboratory investigation of the engineering properties of a lateritic soil modified with the mucilage of Opuntia ficus-indica cladodes (MOFIC), which has a history of being used as an earthen plaster. The soil is classified, according to AASHTO classification system, as A-2-6(1). The Atterberg limits, compaction, permeability, California bearing ratio (CBR) and unconfined compressive strength of the soil were determined for each of 0, 4, 8 and 12% addition of the MOFIC, by dry weight of the soil. The plasticity index, optimum moisture content, swell potential, unconfined compressive strength and permeability decreased while the soaked and unsoaked CBR increased, with increasing MOFIC contents. The engineering properties of the natural soil, which only satisfies standard requirements for use as subgrade material, became improved by the application of MOFIC such that it meets the standard requirements for use as sub-base material for road construction. The effects of MOFIC on the engineering properties of the soil resulted from bioclogging and biocementation processes. MOFIC is recommended for use as a modifier of the engineering properties of soils, especially those with similar characteristics to that of the soil used in this study, to be used as a pavement layer material. It is more economical and environment-friendly than conventional soil stabilizers or modifiers.

  • This study was aimed at evaluating a proper mixing ratio of making Beaknyuncho(Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten) Sulgidduk with different types of extraction, a fruit and a stem of Beaknyuncho, and by different making methods. As a result, moisture content was the highest(43.22%) in FP1 and the lowest(38.55%) in SJ60. The low lightness and yellowness are increased with more powder and juice of both fruit and stem added. The mechanical characteristics, hardness, adhesiveness and gumminess were increased as powder and juice were added. And cohesiveness and springiness were decreased. The identification test showed that a sample containing stem juice was the most preferable for taste, chewiness, moistness and after-taste. The preference test showed that a sample containing stem juice was the most preferable for color, texture and overall quality and a sample containing stem powder was preferable for flavor and taste. Both SJ60 mixed with 60% Beaknyuncho stem juice and FP3 mixed with 3% fruit powder proved to be the most desirable in both sensory evaluation and texture characteristics.
