Objective: To develop healthier comminuted meat products to meet consumer demand, the gel properties, rheological properties, microstructure and water distribution of pork meat batters formulated with various amounts of bamboo shoot dietary fiber (BSDF) were investigated. Methods: Different levels of BSDF (0% to 4%) were added to pork batters, and the pH, color, water-holding capacity, texture and rheological properties of pork batters were determined. Then, pork batters were analyzed for their microstructure and water distribution using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR). Results: Compared with the control, BSDF addition into meat batters showed a significant reduction in L^*-value and a significant increase in b^*-value (p<0.05). BSDF addition of up to 4% reduced the pH value of pork batters by approximately 0.15 units; however, the cooking loss and expressible water loss decreased significantly (p<0.05) with the increased addition of BSDF. The hardness and gel strength were noticeably enhanced (p<0.05) as the content of BSDF increased. The rheological results showed that BSDF added into pork batters produced higher storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G") values. The SEM images suggested that the addition of BSDF could promote pork batters to form a more uniform and compact microstructure. The proportion of immobilized water increased significantly (p<0.05), while the population of free water was decreased (p<0.05), indicating that BSDF improved the water-holding capability of pork batters by decreasing the fraction of free water. Conclusion: BSDF could improve the gel properties, rheological properties and water distribution of pork meat batters and decrease the proportion of free water, suggesting that BSDF has great potential as an effective binder in comminuted meat products.

Dry noodles were prepared with wheat flour and immature Rubes coreanus (Bogbunja) powder, and the effects of added immature bogbunja powders on dough rheology and noodle quality were examined. Particle size distribution of immature bogbunja powder ranged from 0.04 to $500\;{\um}m$, which was different from that of wheat flour. The initial pasting temperature, peak and final viscosities as well as setback increased in amylograph with the increase of immature bogbunja powder. The water absorption and dough development time increased, but the dough stability decreased in farinograph with the increase of immature bogbunja powder. Decrease of L and b values and increase of a value were shown with the increase of immature bogbunja powder in wheat flour-immature bogbunja powder composite as well as dry noodles. The cooked weight and volume of noodles decreased, but the cooking loss increased with the addition of immature bogbunja powder. Most of texture parameters (hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness, gumminess and tension) of cooked noodles decreased with the addition of immature bogbunja powder. From the result of sensory evaluation, dry noodles containing 1 and 2% immature bogbunja powder were rated as higher quality dry noodles than the others.

Two kind of $\beta$-SiC powders of different particle sizes (${\sim}1.7\;{\mu}m$ and ${\sim}30\;nm$), containing 7 wt% $Y_2O_3$, 2 wt% $Al_2O_3$ and 1 wt% MgO as sintering additives, were prepared by hot pressing at $1800^{\circ}C$ for 1 h under applied pressures, and then were hot-forged at $1950^{\circ}C$ for 6 h under 40 MPa in argon. All the hot-pressed specimens consisted of equiaxed grains and were developed grain growth after hot-forging. The smaller starting powder was developed the finer microstructure. The microstructures on the surfaces parallel and perpendicular to the pressing direction of the hot-forged SiC were similar to each other, and no texture development was observed because of the lack of massive $\beta$ to $\sigma$ phase transformation of SiC. The fracture toughness (${\sim}3.9\;MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$), hardness (~ 25.2 GPa) and flexural strength (480 MPa) of hot-forged SiC using larger starting powder were higher than those of the other.

The hardness of kelp(Laminaria japonica) blade is a major deterrent to mass consumption in spite of its value as food. For improvement of kelp products as a special product of 'Donghae', the effect of additives on softening of kelp blade was studied. Kelp was composed of $34.74\%$ ash, $50.5\%$ carbohydrates, $4.81\%$ lipids and $9.98\%$ proteins on a dry weight basis. Glutamic and Aspartic acid are the principal free amino acids with percentage compositions of $2340mg\%\;and\;1650mg\%$ respectively of the $4719mg\%$ of total free amino acids. The softening effects of acetic acid and commercial mixed polyphosphate are more effective than that of monosodium carbonate. Boiling for more than 1hr was necessary for adequate softness of kelp blade in $0.3\%$ acetic acid solution. But, the kelp blade were softened more satisfactorily to 0.165kg/mm for only 30 min boiling in $0.2\%$ phosphate solution, and it is equal to boiling in $0.3\%$ acetic acid for 1hr.

The objective of this study was to investigate physicochemical and antioxidant characteristics of immature flat persimmon during 7 heat treatment aging steps. The pH decreased, and hence, acidity increased with aging. Hunter L value decreased with aging. The a value rapidly increased until step 3, whereas the b value decreased. Fructose content decreased while glucose contents slightly increased during aging. Hardness, chewiness and gumminess rapidly decreased, indicating softening in texture, but it was negligible after aging step 3. Phenolic compounds including gallic acid and homogentisic acid were detected at step 3 and then gradually increased with aging. However, contents of flavonoid and tannin were much higher in step 1 sample than others. The antioxidant activities observed by DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assay were the highest at step 1 possibly due to the higher levels of flavonoids and tannin acid in the step 1 sample.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the properties of tteok prepared from white (Samkwang) and brown rice (Heugseol, Heugjinju). The moisture and crude protein contents of rice were 14.89~17.15% and 4.79~6.81%, respectively. The crude lipid and crude ash contents of rice were 0.48~2.66% and 0.39~1.60%, respectively. The water binding capacity of Heugjinju (141.97%) was higher than those of other rice flours. As the soaking time increased, water absorption ability was in the order of Samkwang > Heugseol > Heugjinju. Using a rapid visco analyser (RVA), the initial pasting temperature of Heugseol was the highest, and the peak viscosities of Heugseol were higher than those of other rice flours. The quality characteristics of Tteokbokki tteok were assessed after its preparation by adding different amounts of Heugseol and Heugjinju (0, 5, 10, and 20%, w/w) content. The textural properties (hardness), of Heugseol and Heugseol measured using a texture analyzer, were greater than those of the control. Sensory preference tests revealed that 10% Heugseol and, 10% Heugjinju had the highest scores in appearance, color, and overall acceptability. The sensory test results revealed that Tteokbokki tteok prepared by addition of 10% added brown rice was the best.

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the quality properties of noodles added with germinated non-waxy (Saesalbori) and waxy (Saechalbori) barley flours at concentrations of 10%, 20% and 30% to wheat flour. The quality characteristics of the samples were assessed for color, cooking characteristics (water absorption, volume increase of noodles and turbidity of cooking water), texture profile analysis (TPA) and sensory evaluation. Regarding the cooking properties of the noodles, adding waxy barley flour did not affect cooking yield and volume increase significantly(p<0.05), but noodles added with germinated Saesalbori at level of 10% had the lowest values of cooking yield and volume increase. Adding both types of flour increased the turbidity of the noodle soups. There was a common downward trend in $L^*$ and $b^*$ values and upward trend in $a^*$ value when increasing the level of barley used progressively. Adding germinated Saechalbori decreased the hardness, springiness and gumminess of noodles but did not cause any change in cohesiveness significantly while adding germinated Saesalbori decreased all the TPA parameters of the samples. Furthermore, the sensory analysis results showed that cooked noodles with 10% added germinated barley had no significantly different overall acceptance from the control sample. 20% substitution still resulted in acceptable sensory qualities. However treatment with both the substituted flours up to 30% was shown to cause unpleasant sensory qualities of noodles.

We explored the quality characteristics of Sulgidduk prepared using different amounts of cheese powder (0%, 6%, 12%, 18%, 24%; all w/w); physico-chemical properties were determined. Proximate composition analysis showed that the moisture content of Sulgidduk decreased with a rise in the level of added cheese powder. Lightness and yellowness values were lowest in control Sulgidduk and highest in Sulgidduk with 24% added cheese powder. Texture profile analysis showed that all of hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and brittleness increased with a rise in cheese powder level. Scanning election microscopy indicated that the number of air cells fell as the ratio of cheese powder to rice powder increased. Sensory evaluation tests indicated that color, cheese smell, and greasiness rose as the cheese powder level increased, whereas softness and moistness fell. Consumer acceptance testing showed no significant difference in overall acceptability scores among samples. In conclusion, we suggest that cheese powder may be incorporated into Sulgidduk without affecting sensory qualities.

The principal objective of this study was to determine the quality characteristics of Maejakgwa prepared with the addition of lotus leaf powder. The moisture, crude ash, crude protein, crude lipid, and carbohydrate contents of the used lotus leaf powder were 2.97%, 8.09%, 22.83%, 0.93%, and 65.18%, respectively. The pH of the Maejakgwas dough decreased significantly as the level of lotus leaf powder increased; however, there were no significant differences in dough values among the test groups. Furthermore, the spread factor values and water contents of the groups increased significantly as the level of the lotus leaf powder concentration. In addition, the Hunter's color L, a, and b values decreased significantly with increasing amounts of lotus leaf powder. In the texture meter test, the hardness increased according to increasing concentrations of lotus leaf powder. Finally, the results of a sensory properties showed that Maejakgwas containing 2% lotus leaf powder had the highest scores. These results suggest that lotus leaf powder can be applied to Maejakgwas to achieve high quality and functionality.

In this study, we evaluated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of cookies containing various concentrations (0, 3, 5, 7 and 9%) of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica Plenck) powder. Cookies containing broccoli powder evidenced significantly lower L value than were noted in the control. The L values of brightness decreased significantly with the addition of broccoli powder to the cookie formula. The a values also decreased significantly with the addition of broccoli powder. The b value of yellowness increased significantly with increasing amounts of broccoli powder added to the cookie formula. The spread ratio increased proportionally with the quantity of broccoli powder added to the cookie formulation. The loss rate and leavening rate of the samples to which 7% and 9% broccoli powder was added were higher than those noted in the samples to which 3% and 5% broccoli powder was added. In terms of hardness, the values were significantly reduced in accordance with the amount of added broccoli powder. The results of our sensory evaluation demonstrated that the sample to which 7% powder was added was significantly more preferable in terms of overall acceptability than others. The quality characteristics of the 7% added samples evidenced significantly similar or higher values as compared to those of the controls, raising the possibility of developments in health-functional cookies.
