This study was performed to optimize yanggaeng processing conditions prepared with different amounts of steamed Liriopis tuber (SLT) extract, sugar, and agar powder using response surface methodology. The experimental conditions were designed according to the central composite design with 16 experimental points, including two replicates for three independent variables. The experimental data on physicochemical properties, textural properties, and sensory evaluation were fitted to various models, and the accuracy of the equations was analyzed by ANOVA. Among the responses, pH, water content, sugar content, L-value, browning index, chewiness, gumminess, and sensory properties of appearance, color, sweetness, hardness, texture, and overall acceptability showed significant correlation with contents of SLT, sugar, and agar powder. From these results, optimum formulation of yanggaeng was calculated as follows: SLT 35 mL, sugar 55.23 g, and agar powder 3.39 g.

Yetgangjeong is a traditional Korean rice cookie which used rice syrup (Chocheong) to bind fried rice grains. Brown waxy rice and binders prepared using different sugar types and end heating temperatures were assessed to improve the textural properties and functionality and to promote global consumption. Binder was made by mixing different ratios of starch syrup, rice syrup, honey, sugar, and trehalose, and the binder mixture was heated up to a temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ or $105^{\circ}C$. Specific electrical conductivity of binder containing ST (starch syrup and trehalose) showed the lowest values (9.51 and 9.77), and binders containing the rice syrup showed increased values for specific electrical conductivity. The fructose content was higher in the binder mixture containing C (starch syrup and sugar) than in the binder mixture containing ST, but it did not affect the end temperature. Viscosity of the binder was 123.90-175.20 cP and the binder showed higher viscosity at the end heating temperature (EHT) of $100^{\circ}C$ compared at EHT of $105^{\circ}C$. The fracturability of brown rice yetgangjeong prepared using different sugar types was higher at EHT of $100^{\circ}C$ than at that of $105^{\circ}C$ and it was reduced with an increase in the rice syrup content. However, the hardness of yetgangjeong was lower at $100^{\circ}C$, unlike fracturability. With respect to sensory evaluation, its moistness and stickiness decreased, but the crunchiness increased with addition of trehalose instead of sucrose. The overall eating quality score of yetgangjeong was higher at EHT of $105^{\circ}C$ than at that of $100^{\circ}C$ in every experiment and the highest score was found for SHT (starch syrup, honey and trehalose) with 20% rice syrup at EHT of $105^{\circ}C$ (20%RSHT105 (starch syrup, honey, and trehalose containing 20% rice syrup)).

The amino acid contents, physical and sensory properties for the loins of crossbred pigs (JJ90: live weight of 90∼100 kg; and JJ110: live weight of 110∼120 kg) and crossbred Jeju black pig (JB90: live weight of 90∼100 kg) were evaluated to investigate their quality. The total contents of structural amino acid, which were 18.15∼20.22% for all the samples without showing significant differences, included significant amount of glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine and leucine. The free amino acid content was 0.486% for JB90, which was greater than JJ90 and JJ110. Also, significant amount of taurine, serine, glycine, alanine, valine, and leucine could be observed in the free amino acid content of the samples. The redness (a/sup */) and yellowness (b/sup */) of JB90 were significantly higher titan those of JJ90 and JJ110. The water holding capacity, hardness, chewiness, juiciness and palatability of JJ110 and JB90 were higher than those of JJ90, but their difference was not significant.

To provide functional properties in fish paste, boiled-dried anchovy [small size (SS) and large size (LS)] powder containing high amount of calcium was added at 0, 1, 2, 5, and 10% (w/w) levels. The properties of fried fish paste were evaluated by determination of sensory properties and physicochemical characteristics such as color, texture, folding test, and calcium contents. Calcium content of the fish paste increased with increasing anchovy amount. Increasing the amount of SS and LS in fish paste tended to decrease lightness, redness in Hunter color value, while increasing yellowness. All samples with 3 mm thickness had good flexibility and did not break even after 4 times folds. The fish pastes containing 10% of anchovy showed the highest values in strength, hardness, adhesiveness. In overall acceptance of sensory evaluation, SS and LS fish paste containing 1% and 2% of anchovy powder did not show any difference in comparison with control. These results suggest that SS and LS anchovy powder can be applied to fried fish paste products to allow for high calcium contents.

This study was carried out to compare the physicochemical characteristics and sensory quality of Sikhye (a Korean traditional rice beverage) prepared with specialty rice varieties. The results showed that Ilpum had higher hulling recovery, milled/brown rice ratio, and milling recovery than Sulgaeng, Baegjinju, Baegjinju 1, and Dongjinchal. The alkali digestive value, protein content, and amylose contents of Sulgaeng were 6.3, 7.3% and 19.3%, respectively. The highest brix degree was $10.00^{\circ}Bx$ in Baegjinju Sikhye. The turbidity appeared at 0.4440, 0.4100, 0.3828, 0.3372, 0.1414 in Ilpum, Baegjinju, Baegjinju 1, Sulgaeng, and Dongjinchal Sikhye, respectively. There were no significant differences in pH and maltose contents among the groups. The highest L-value was 44.62 in Ilpum Sikhye. The a-value and b-value were $-1.66{\sim}-0.70$ and $-9.18{\sim}-5.19$, respectively. Finally, the sensory evaluation results indicated that there were no significant differences in appearance, aroma, and taste between the groups, and the Sulgaeng Sikhye showed higher overall quality than the Dongjinchal Sikhye as the control.

TMR (total mixed ration) feed was developed by adding mugwort and was fed to Korean black cattle. The effects on the physicochemical properties of the Korean black cattle, when fed mugwort, were investigated, as was the feasibility of producing beef with high quality and functionality. Korean black cattle were reared by using basal TMR (control) and basal TMR supplemented with mugwort of middle fattening 4.6% and late fattening 6.5% (treatment). The content of total catechin in Korean black cattle fed with the control and treatment was 0.262 and 0.379 mg/kg, respectively, while the content of epicatechin was 0.042 and 0.059 mg/kg, respectively, both of which were a significant increase from feeding the cattle TMR with mugwort ($p$ <0.05). There was no significant difference between the control and treatment in terms of $L^*$ (lightness), $b^*$ (yellowness), pH, VBN (volatile basic nitrogen) content, bacterial counts, water-holding capacity, freezing loss, thawing loss, cooking loss, cohesiveness, chewiness, shear force, and sensory score. TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) and springiness for the control were significantly higher than the treatment ($p$ <0.05). The $a^*$ (redness), EDA (electron donating ability), hardness, and gumminess for the treatment were significantly higher than for the control ($p$ <0.05). These results suggest that the feed containing mugwort can be used to improve color and increase antioxidant ability as functional feed.

The quality and physicochemical characteristics of newly developed Sunsik products were investigated. Sunsik A, B, and C were prepared under different roasting temperatures and times (A: $220^{\circ}C$, 15 min; B: $220^{\circ}C$, 25 min; C, D, E: $230^{\circ}C$, 15 min). Sunsik D was prepared using grain flours passed through a 100 mesh screen, whereas the other products were passed through a 140 mesh screen. Sunsik E was prepared by the addition of germinated grains. The moisture content of Sunsik products ranged from 3.24-7.10%. The viscosity and sugar content ranged from 57-74 cP and $1.5-1.7^{\circ}Bx$, respectively. The pH values were similar among the samples. Sunsik D had the highest gelatinization enthalpy, whereas Sunsik C had the lowest. The viable cell counts were in the range from 3-4 log CFU/g and coliform groups were not detected. Sunsik B and E had higher scores for savory flavor and sweet taste than other Sunsik products.

This study was undertaken to investigate whether the local Woori black pigs could replace Duroc as the terminal sire in order to reduce foreign currency outgoings. This study compared the physicochemical properties of pork loins in two cultivars of three-way crossbred pigs: Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire ${\times}$ Duroc (LYD) and Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire ${\times}$ Woori black pig (LYW). A total of 119 pigs (59 LYD and 60 LYW) aged 180 days were used in the experiment. After 24 hours of cooling, pork loins were assessed for their physicochemical traits, meat color, fatty acid and sensory evaluation. The moisture content and water holding capacity showed no significant difference between the two cultivars. Fat content and cooking loss were significantly higher in LYW than in LYD (p<0.05), whereas shear force and pH were significantly lower in LYW than LYD (p<0.05). Redness ($a^*$), yellowness ($b^*$), and stearic acid (C18: 0) content were also significantly higher in LYW than in LYD (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation revealed significantly higher meat color and flavor in LYW than LYD (p<0.05). Taken together, these results indicate that certain physicochemical qualities are improved in the LYW cultivar, as compared to LYD. Therefore, Woori black pig (W) has the potential to be substituted for Duroc, a breeding pig used currently.

Olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) including red seabream (Pagrus major) and jacopever (Sebastes schlegeli) were known to be suitable characteristics for preparing a processed food because of white meat fish containing low fat in muscle. In this study, the physicochemical properties of olive flounder (46-50 cm of length, 950-1,050 g of weight), red seabream (30-33 cm of length, 1,250-1,350 g of weight) and jacopever (20-23 cm of length, 550-650 g of weight) were studied to obtain a basic data for the development of a new processed food. Head, scale, bone and viscera of each samples were removed, and then grinding with homogenizer before experiment. Moisture content of red seabream is lower than that of olive flounder and jacopever, therefore, crude protein and crude lipid are higher content. Red seabream showed higher redness, yellowess and color difference value than those of olive flounder and jacopever except lightness. The major total amino acid in olive flounder, seabream and jacopever were glutamic acid, lysine and aspartic acid in order. Especially, the highest content of free amino acid was lysine for olive flounder and jacopever and alanine for red seabream. The highest content of mineral in olive flounder, seabream and jacopever was potassium (K) and then phosphorous (P) and sodium (Na) in order. The highest amount of fatty acid in olive flounder, red seabream and jacopever was polyenoic acid in which especially contained 6.8, 7.1 and 6.7% for EPA, and 15.2, 15.2 and 17.1% for DHA, respectively. From the result of sensory evaluation, there was no significant difference in color and odor, but not in taste and texture.

To improve the shelf life of low-salt Kochujang, Korean hot pepper paste, antimicrobial materials were added at different times before and after aging. The kochujang was then packaged and stored at $30^{\circ}C$ for 15 weeks, and changes in microbiological and physiochemical properties were evaluated. Hunter a- and b-values decreased considerably during storage. The total color difference (${\delta}E$) was greater in the ethanol-chitosan (EC) treatment than in the control and after pasteurization (A-P) treatment. Gas was produced until the seventh week of storage. The control and the A-P treatments produced more gas than the other treatments, and these had the largest number of yeasts and aerobic bacteria. The pH of the EC treatment was higher than that of the other treatments, and the A-P treatment had the highest level of titratable acidity. During storage, the oxidation-reduction potential was lower in the EC and ethanol-mustard-chitosan (EMC) treatments. The reducing sugar content decreased remarkably in the control and A-P treatments, with high production of ethanol. There was a significant change in the content of amino-type nitrogen in the control and A-P treatments, and the content of ammonia-type nitrogen was lowest in the EMC treatment. In the sensory test of kochujang, the ethanol-mustard (EM) and ethanol (E) treatments were significantly higher than the EC, control, and A-P treatments (p <0.05). EM or E alone was effective in extending the shelf life of kochujang when added before aging.
