In this study the properties of Yackwa partially replaced wheat flour with black rice flour were examined in the three factors: the physicochemical, the textural and the sensory. When the amount of black rice flour increased, dehydration and oil absorption of Yackwa decreased while frying it. The color of black rice flour Yackwa was darker yellowish than that of wheat flour Yackwa. When black rice flour was added more in making Yackwa, the results are as follows: first, its hardness increased, second, the external and internal color of Yackwa got significantly darker, finally, its greasiness decreased. As a result, up to 20% of wheat flour may be replaced with black rice flour without diminishing acceptability.

This study investigated the effects of the number of washes and alkaline treatments ($NaHCO_3$ concentrations) and the concentration of potato starch on the quality of fish meat paste products prepared from sand lance Ammodytes personatus Girard. We found significantly (P<0.05) higher ratings for the all textural parameters (hardness, brittleness, elasticity, and cohesiveness) of the sand-lance meat paste products (SLMPPs) that were washed three times with a 0.5% $NaHCO_3$ concentration. We determined that an 8% concentration of potato starch leads to the best textural properties in SLMPPs. As the amount of potato starch was increased, the redness values of SLMPPs decreased significantly (P<0.05), but the differences in the sensory evaluation parameters (texture, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability) between the SLMPPs were not significant.

We investigated whether the CT images of hepatic lesions could be analyzed by computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tool. We retrospectively reanalyzed 14 liver CT images (10 hepatocellular cancers and 4 benign liver lesions; patients who presented with hepatic masses). The hepatic lesions on CT were segmented by rectangular ROI technique and the morphologic features were extracted and quantitated using fractal texture analysis. The contrast enhancement of hepatic lesions was also quantified and added to the differential diagnosis. The best discriminating function combining the textural features and the values of contrast enhancement of the lesions was created using linear discriminant analysis. Textural feature analysis showed moderate accuracy in the differential diagnosis of hepatic lesions, but statistically insignificant. Combining textural analysis and contrast enhancement value resulted in improved diagnostic accuracy, but further studies are needed.

The changes in gel characteristics of soy protein as a result of various reagents that alter specific interactions which affect the formation and textural properties of gels, were studied. The reagents were added to 15% soy protein solutions prior to heat treatment. The gels were not formed with urea, indicating that hydrogen bonds significantly contributed to the formation and hardness of soy protein gel. Hydrophobic interactions and disulfide bonds compensated for hydrogen bonds and the contributions of electrostatic interactions to gel hardness are relatively insignificant. The farce primarily responsible for gel cohesiveness appeared to be disulfide bonds, because a significant decrease in cohesiveness was found only with the presence of N-ethylmaleimide. Adhesiveness decreased only with the addition of urea, and thus the contribution of hydrogen bonding to adhesiveness of gel could be concluded to be resent. However, adhesiveness was suggested to be interpreted not only wile molecular forces involved in gel formation but also with hydration properties of protein.

The carbon sample "O", phosphoric acid-activated carbon "OP", zinc chloride-activated carbon "OZ", and two steam activated carbons "OS" and "OS2" with different burn-off of 25% and 58% respectively, were prepared from olive stones. The textural properties were determined from the results of nitrogen adsorption at 77 K and by analyzing these results through the application of different adsorption models. The chemistry of the carbon surfaces was determined from the base neutralization capacities, acid neutralization capacity and surface pH. The sorption of $Pb^{2+}$ ions on to the carbons prepared was followed under dynamic and equilibrium conditions. The differences between the values of the textural parameters were attributed to the inapplicability of some adsorption models and to the heterogeneity of the microporous carbons. The sorption of $Pb^{2+}$ ions is favored on carbon and activated carbons. However, chemically activated carbons are more effective compared with steam-activated ones. The sorption of $Pb^{2+}$ ions were related to the chemistry of the surface rather than to the textural properties.

The textural and rheological properties of cheese are major attributes for the characterization of cheese types, ripening, and consumer preferences. The use of small amplitude oscillatory rheological testing has made it possible for cheese researchers to assess the major properties of cheese, such as melting behavior and storage modulus, without irreversible deformation. In addition, large deformation testing such as textural profile analysis can assess properties such as hardness of cheese. While the sensory properties of cheese are valued by consumers, objective and reliable measurements are paramount for researchers. Ongoing development and refinement of scientific measurement methods of cheese are vital.

This study was conducted to improve sensory quality of Jokbal (Korean Pettitoes) made from frozen pig feet by addition of herbal mixture (glasswort, raspberry and Sansa powders). After adding herbal mixture, lipid oxidation (2-thiobarbituric acid values, TBARS), sensory property, and textural property were determined. Herbs were individually added into cooking soup at concentration of 6% (low concentration treatment, LCT) or 12% (high concentration treatment, HCT) of raw pig feet. Refrigerated pig feet were used as control. Thawed feet without any herbal mixture were used as freezing treatment (FT). TBARS in LCT or HCT were lower than that in FT, and showed the similar to that in Control. Addition of the herbal mixture was effective in improving the flavor and textural property of thawed feet by inhibiting lipid oxidation and protein denaturation in a dose-dependent manner.

This study was investigated textural properties of Injulmi affected by milling methods, varieties and added water volume. Sinsunchalbyeo and Hwasunchalbyeo flours were made using Rin-dry milling(PDM) and roll-wet milling(RWM) methods. The proximate composition of waxy rice starches and waxy rice flours were similar. Water binding capacity, soluble carbohydrate and damaged starch of waxy rice flour by RWM: were higher than those of waxy rice flours by PDM. By increasing added water volume, hardness and adhesiveness of Injulmi were decreased. By increasing storage time, hardness of Injulmi was increased, but adhesiveness was decreased. The hardness of Injulmi made from waxy rice flours by PDM was higher than by RDW.

Purpose: This study was conducted to understand the factors that affect the texture of gluten-free rice pasta prepared buckwheat, mung bean, and acorn starches and to compare textural properties of samples 100% semolina. Methods: The moisture content, weight and water absorption test investigated and texture profile analysis measured by texture analyzer. Results: 100% semolina sample's value was lower than gluten-free rice pasta moisture content, weight and water absorption test. moisture content weight was in pasta with mung bean starchin pasta with buckwheat starch. Texture profile analysis showed that increasing amount of buckwheat, mung bean, and acorn starches increased hardness, chewiness, cohesiveness and springiness, and decreased adhesiveness of gluten free rice pasta. Conclusion: This study suggested that adding buckwheat, mungbean and acorn starches could improve texture properties of gluten-free rice pasta.

In this work, activated carbons (ACs) were prepared from polystyrene-based cation-exchangeable resin (PSI) by a chemical activation with KOH as an activating agent. The surface morphologies were observed by using SEM, and the textural properties were investigated by using nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. From the experimental results, it was found that the well-developed micro- and mesopores were produced by a chemical activation, and the textural properties including specific surface areas and pore volumes were greatly enhanced. The electrochemical behaviors of the ACs showed similar phenomena with that of textural properties. These results indicated that KOH activation played an important role in the changes of surface, and pore structures, resulting in enhancing the electrochemical properties of the ACs prepared in present work.
