This study was conducted to investigate the effects of chestnut inner shell powder on antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of pork patties. Patties were prepared with different amounts of chestnut inner shell powder (0, 1, 3, and 5% of pork quantity). The total phenol contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activities of the patties significantly increased with increasing amount of chestnut inner shell powder. The moisture content and pH of row patties were not significantly different between the control group and treatment groups. The cooking loss rate significantly decreased with increasing chestnut inner shell powder amount. Reduction ratio of the diameter of experimental patties was lower than that of the control patties, although it was not significant. As the content of chestnut inner shell powder increased, L-value decreased while a-value increased in both row patties and cooked patties. However, b-value changed upon heating. The b-value of row patties also increased with increasing chestnut inner shell powder content, whereas the b-value of cooked patties decreased. The hardness, chewiness, gumminess, and cohesiveness of the control group were lower than those of the treatment group. The consumer acceptability score for patties with 1% chestnut inner shell powder was higher than that for patties in terms of overall preference, appearance, color, and texture. Further, overall preference, appearance, and color for patties with chestnut inner shell powder 3% were higher than those of the control group. We suggest that chestnut inner shell can be improve the quality characteristics and consumer acceptability of pork patties, as well as the development of health-oriented meat products.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of muffins prepared with different amounts (0%, 4%, 8%, or 12%) of apricot powder. The moisture content was higher in groups containing 8% and 12% apricot powder. The specific volume of muffins decreased as the amount of apricot powder increased. The lightness value was lower in groups containing apricot powder, with redness and yellowness values increasing with increasing amounts of apricot powder. Rheology tests showed no significant differences in hardness, springiness, and cohesiveness between control muffins and muffins with apricot added. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the number and size of air cells decreased with increasing levels of apricot powder. The substitution of wheat flour with apricot powder yielded muffins with a higher DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical-scavenging activity and total polyphenol content. Consumer acceptance tests revealed no significant differences in appearance, smell, and texture between muffin samples, but the taste and overall acceptability scores were lowest for muffins with 12% apricot added. Therefore, up to 8% apricot powder can be incorporated into muffins to meet the sensory quality and functional needs of the consumer.

Dasik is a kind of traditional Korean dessert, which has polysaccharides as the major base. Dasik was prepared using rice and various ingredients and its antioxidant properties were determined. In addition, textural changes and sensory evaluation were conducted on Dasik during 7-day storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Dasik containing brown rice, red ginseng, and rice bran oil showed higher radical scavenging ability, reducing power, total flavonoid, and total phenolic contents among tested rice-based samples. Dasik prepared using black sesame seeds showed the highest radical scavenging ability and reducing power compared to rice-based Dasik. In sensory evaluation, 10 trained panelists found that hardness of the rice-based Omija Dasik sample increased significantly (P<0.05) while moistness and softness attributes decreased as the storage period of Dasik increased. The roasted bean Dasik and black sesame Dasik samples were evaluated similarly and their moistness decreased significantly (P<0.05) with longer storage period. The overall and texture acceptability of the rice-based Omija Dasik and the roasted bean Dasik samples decreased significantly (P<0.05), and scores of willingness to try again of the rice-based Omija Dasik decreased as the storage period of Dasik increased. Positive or negative correlations among the results from sensory evaluation and textural analysis were observed in Dasik.

This study was conducted to elucidate the characteristics of soybean sprouts cultured in water containing germanium. In three varieties of Eunhakong, Seomoktae and Subaktae, the yields of germanium soybean sprout were 10~20% more than those of control soybean sprouts after 5 day-cultivation. The hypocotyl of germanium soybean sprouts was thicker than that of control soybean sprouts, but there were no significant differences in the length of hypocotyl and the thickness of cotyledon. Germanium soybean sprouts showed deeper green and yellow color than control soybean sprouts. In addition, the hardness exhibited strongly in germanium soybean sprouts, especially Seomoktae. In the sensory evaluation, germanium soybean sprouts were better than control soybean sprouts in appearance, taste, flavor and preference.

This study aimed to find optimum addition of jujube powder to glutinous rice in the preparation of daechu injeolmi (rice cake). The daechu injeolmi added with 10% jujube powder gave the highest moisture content of 52.9% among treatments. Higher amount of jujube powder up to 14% resulted in lower 'L' and higher 'a' values of the cake. Hardness of the cake showed the lowest value for the 10% jujbe-added cake during the storage of 24 hours, while it was so for 14% jujube-added cake after 36 hour storage. Little change was observed with time in the cohesiveness for the cake added with jujube powder in more than in the 8% level. 10% addition of the jujube powder was found to be the best recipe based on the sensory qualities of softness, chewiness, moistness and overall acceptability, which were also well correlated with physical properties.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of muffins prepared with different amounts (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%) of moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) leaf powder (MLP). The weight of muffins increased as the amount of MLP increased. The height and pH of muffins significantly decreased as the amount of MLP increased (P<0.05). The moisture content was higher in groups containing 3% MLP. The hardness was higher at 0% MLP. Cohesiveness decreased as the amount of MLP increased (P<0.05), whereas springiness was not significantly different among all samples. Chewiness and brittleness decreased with increasing MLP concentration. Substitution of wheat flour with MLP yielded muffins with a higher 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol content (P<0.05). Alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activity significantly increased upon addition of MLP (P<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, appearance scores of muffins were higher in groups containing 7% MLP, whereas taste, flavor, texture, and overall acceptability scores were lowest in muffins with 7% MLP. Therefore, up to 3% MLP can be incorporated into muffins to satisfy the sensory quality and functional needs of the consumer. Furthermore, this study proposes the possibility of development of various products using MLP.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of Yanggaeng added with lentil bean sediment. Yanggaeng was prepared by addition of 0, 25, 50, and 75% (w/w) lentil bean sediment to white bean basic formulation. For the proximate composition measurement, lentil bean sediment consisted of 15.63% moisture, 17.31% crude protein, 0.92% crude ash, and 0.31% crude fat. The sediment yield of lentil beans was 54.25%. The moisture content of Yanggaeng significantly increased with increasing lentil bean sediment content. The total soluble solid content ($^{\circ}Brix$) of Yanggaeng significantly decreased with increasing lentil bean sediment content, whereas the pH was not significantly different between the control and experimental groups. The lightness of Yanggaeng significantly decreased with increasing lentil bean sediment content, whereas redness and yellowness significantly increased with increasing lentil bean sediment content. The springiness, gumminess, and chewiness of Yanggaeng decreased with increasing lentil bean sediment content, whereas hardness and cohesiveness was not significantly different between the control and experimental groups. The total phenolic content and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity significantly increased with increasing lentil bean sediment content. Yanggaeng containing 25% lentil bean sediment had acceptable sensory properties, such as taste, texture, and overall preferences. Thus, our results suggest that Yanggaeng containing 25% lentil bean sediment could improve the sensory properties and antioxidant activities of Yanggaeng.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of new materials with forest topsoil for hydroseeding measures that is environmentally and ecologically stable revegetation measures on rock cut-slopes. Field hydroseeding experiment was used with a completely randomized design at highway rock cut-slopes in April, 1997. Results obtained in this study were summarized as follows: Particle size distribution of 3 mixed-soil materials that consisted of forest topsoil, decomposed granite soil, compost, sludge, and bottom ash did not show a significant difference. As appending the amount of forest topsoil, soil bulk density was increased. Soil hardness was slightly increased in early period, and then decreased with the flourishing of plants. The number of individuals increased, more than $3,000seedlings/m^2$, after 1 month, and it was decreased as time passes because of competition between the seeded species and the naturally emerged species. In addition to the seeded species, seeding plot has more than 6 species (Rubus crataegifolius, Eleusine indica, Erigeron canadensis, Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme, etc.) per $m^2$ were naturally appeared in the first year. From the viewpoint of species diversity promotion, the capability of using forest topsoil as seed bank sources was high. In order to apply in the field, the investigation and analysis of topsoil availability (quantity and quality of seed source, soil texture and organic composition) should be carried out before-hand.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the topographical factors (16 items), physico-chemical properties of soil (13 items) and meteorological factors(9 items) on the height growth of Pinus thunbergii stands along the coastal area in Korea. According to the coefficients by partial correlation analysis in total area, it was found that tree height growth was considerably affected by local topography, soil hardness, soil B-horizental depth, effective soil depth, soil moisture, parent rock, soil texture, and etc.. And the soil factors were available $P_2O_5$, total nitrogen, base saturation, exchangeable $Ca^{{+}+}$, and etc.. In partial correlation analysis, annual relative humidity, annual precipitation, index of aridity, and etc. were found to be the most important factors influencing on tree height growth of Pinus thunbergii stands. In conlusion, the topographical, soil and meteorological factors have multiplex influence on the tree height growth in the Pinus thunbergii stands. They promise to provide the basis of improving not only the selection of suitable sites and the management of soil fertilizer but also the estimation of growth and yield. Hence these results would be used successfully for the design in the scientific forest working plan.

In this study, the quality characteristics of Topokkidduk, a traditional Korean rice cake, containing different amounts of garlic powder (0, 1, 3, 5, 7 w/w %) were investigated. The moisture content of Topokkidduk containing garlic ranged from 45.72~46.74% and was significantly higher than Topokkidduk in the absence of garlic. The Hunter color L value decreased with an increase in the amount of added garlic powder, whereas the a and b values increased. Texture analysis revealed that the hardness of uncooked Topokkidduk was significantly lower than Topokkidduk not containing garlic (p>0.05). The adhesiveness and springiness of both uncooked and cooked Topokkidduk did not vary significantly at the different garlic concentrations (p>0.05). The chewiness of Topokkidduk tended to decrease with an increase in the amount of added garlic powder. For the sensory evaluation, the intensity (color and flavor) and acceptability (color, flavor and taste) were lower for Topokkidduk containing 7% garlic powder than the other samples. The chewiness intensity was highest for Topokkidduk containing 1% and 3% garlic powder (p>0.05). The Topokkidduk containing no garlic powder and 3% garlic powder had the highest overall acceptability score (p>0.05).
