Pholiota adiposa is an edible as well as medicinal mushroom cultured in China and Japan with anti-tumor, anti-microbial, anti-hypertensive, and anti-hyperlipidemic activities. This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of cookies added with Pholiota adiposa powder. Chemical composition of Pholiota adiposa powder was as follows: 3.8% moisture, 6.9% ash, 1% crude lipids, 3% protein, 53.3% carbohydrates, and 31.9% crude dietary fiber. To analyze quality characteristics during the manufacture of cookies, pH, texture, color, antioxidant activity, total polyphenol content, and sensory evaluation were determined. As the content of Pholiota adiposa powder increased, the pH of cookies decreased from 6.7 to 6.02. Hardness of cookies decreased with increasing Pholiota adiposa powder content, and cookies added with 5% powder were softer than the control. Regarding surface color, L-value decreased with increasing powder content compared to that of the control, whereas in surface color among various powder levels was not significantly different. As the content of Pholiota adiposa powder increased, both antioxidant activity and total polyphenol content increased. In the sensory evaluation, cookies added with 3% Pholiota adiposa powder showed remarkably higher values compared to control and other amples in all aspects.

The effect of zeolite on the quality properties of fresh and broiled pork loin was investigated using 84 pigs that were fed with different feed ration of zeolite (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% zeolite) for 3 months. The pH of fresh pork loin fed with 0% and 2.0% zeolite was 5.95, which was higher than those of others (P<0.05). The cooking loss of fresh pork loin fed with 0.5% and 1.0% zeolite were 26.24% and 26.42%, respectively, which was higher than those of others (P<0.05). The dissolution crude lipid of 1.0% zeolite (3.11%) was highest, but that of 0% zeolite was lowest (P<0.05). L and a values were highest in fresh pork fed with 1.0% zeolite, however, b value was highest in fresh pork fed with 2.0% zeolite (P<0.05). In the results of L value of the broiled pork loin, the feed ration with 0% zeolite was highest (75.49) and decreased as the feed ration of zeolite increased (P<0.05). The a and b values were highest in broiled pork fed with 0.5% zeolite (P<0.05). The hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness of fresh and broiled pork loin fed with 2.0% zeolite were highest and increased as the feed ration of zeolite increased (P<0.05). In the result of sensory evaluation in broiled pork loin, color preference was increased as the feed ration of zeolite increased (P<0.05). Taste preference was highest in the 1.0% zeolite (10.70), followed by 2.0% (8.72), 0.5% (7.64), and 0% zeolite (6.44) (P<0.05). Flavor and appearance preferences were not significantly different between the groups. Texture preference was decreased as the feed ration of zeolite increased. The overall preference was highest in the 1.0% with zeolite (10.80), followed by 0.5% (10.04), 0% (8.41), and 2.0% (7.92) with zeolite (P<0.05). In conclusion, the optimal feed ration of zeolite for broiled pork loin was between 0.5 and 1.0% zeolite.

In this study, hard roll breads were prepared with 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15% of concentrated sweet pumpkin powder (CSPP). The samples and a control were then compared in terms of quality characteristics, including pH, total titratable acidity, fermentation power of dough expansion, specific volume, baking loss, moisture content, color, textural characteristics, external and internal surface appearances, and sensory qualities of bread in order to determine the optimal ratio of CSPP in the formulation. As CSPP content increased, pH of dough, specific volume, baking loss, and lightness of bread decreased, while total titratable acidity of dough, pH, total titratable acidity, moisture content, and redness of bread increased. Fermentation power of dough expansion increased as incubation time increased. The CSPP samples had significantly higher yellowness, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and resilience than the control group. Adhesiveness was the highest at the 12% substitution level, while the lowest at the 6% level. Springiness increased with increasing CSPP content. In the sensory evaluation, as CSPP content increased, scores for color and consistency of crumb decreased, while scores for aroma of sweet pumpkin, sweetness, and delicious taste increased. Density of crumb pore were maximal with the 12% CSPP substitution. The CSPP samples had significantly higher uniformity of crumb pore and springiness of crumb than the control group. However, mouth-feel and overall acceptability showed the reverse effect, obtaining fairly good scores. In conclusion, the results indicate that substituting $6{\sim}9%$ CSPP to hard roll bread is optimal, providing good physiological properties as well as reasonably high overall acceptability.

This study investigated the optimal percentage of brownies substituted with rice bran dietary fiber (3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%). The sample and control were compared for quality characteristics, specific gravity, viscosity, pH, moisture content, water activity, specific volume, color, textural characteristic, consumer acceptance, and CATA (check-all-that-apply). The specific gravity of the control sample was not significantly different among the samples. The viscosity was highest at the brownie containing 12% of rice bran dietary fiber. Moisture content and water activity were highest in the 6% sample. pH of control sample batter was highest, but reduced with increasing amounts of rice bran dietary fiber. For colors, lightness of the 6% sample batter was highest at 25.31, and redness and yellowness significantly increased with increasing amounts of rice bran dietary fiber. For textural characteristics, hardness, and chewiness significantly increased with increasing amounts of rice bran dietary fiber. Cohesiveness and resilience were not significantly different between samples. In the sensory evaluation, overall acceptability was highest in the control group and lowest for the 12% sample. In the frequency analysis of the CATA, as rice bran dietary fiber was added, the amount of bran flavor, oliy, and unpleasant increased while frequency of bitterness, sweetness, and chocolate taste decreased. In the principal component analysis, characteristics of unpleasant, oily, soybean flavor, and sweetness were strongly detected in the 12% sample. The control sample showed strong sweetness and bitterness. The results indicate that 3% to 6% rice bran dietary fiber is appropriate for production of brownies.

This study was conducted to examine the usability of sorbitol for the manufacture as low-calory ingredient and cryoprotectant against frost damage. When frozen yoghrt was made of replacing sucrose by sorbitol at yoghurt mix, the change of physicochemical and lactic acid bacteria, such as Str. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, and mixed culture of Str. thermophilus, and L. bulgaricus(1:1), was studied during the frozen storage(-20$^{\circ}$C). During the incubation of yoghurt mix, the rapid growth of lactic acid bacteria in all sample was observed as the increase of sorbitol addition, but sample A and D were almost similar. This results suggested that sucrose could play role of effecting the growth stimulator, otherwise, sorbitol could inhibit the death of microorganism, following the genus. At the survival rate between lactic acid bacteria during freezing of -5$^{\circ}$C by ice cream freezer Str. thermophilus showed 26.19 to 34.76%, L. bulgaricus 3.97 to 5.20%, and mixed culture 17.16 to 40.87% respectively. L. bulgaricus showed the greater lethal rate than other genus. Sample C which mixed sucrose with sorbitol (1:2 ratio) was showed the lowest lethal rate. Therefore, it suggested that the use of this ration could be used for better anti-frost damage. During the storage of -20$^{\circ}$C, the number of lactic acid bacteria generally decreased in the stand point of genus and frozen storage period. The survival of lactic acid bacteria might be the addition of sorbitol which could have the effect of anti-forst damage. In all treatment, lactase activity showed the rapid decrease after freezing. During the period of frozen storage, it was shown the slow decreasing trend. In spite· of decreasing, the result during yoghurt mix incubation -5$^{\circ}$C freezing, and -20$^{\circ}$C frozen storage was different at the level. After 80 days of storage, the lactase activity was similar among all genus and sample. Despite differenting viscosity followed by genus, combination of mix, and pH, the ratio of 1 to 2(sucrose : sorbitol) showed the greatest viscosity. The water holding capacity of frozen yoghurt mix was closely related to viscosity. As increasing sorbitol amounts, hardness and cohesiveness were increased, but elastisity was decreased. The significant differences between sample was inoculated with Str. thermophilus. However, there were not significant difference from the sample inoculated with L. bulgaricus and mixed culture.

We developed and investigated sugar-soaked black soybean snack (SSBSS) to increase the availability of black soybean. The most desirable moisture contents and texture properties of hardness and gumminess in preparing SSBSS were obtained at a sugar concentration of $40^{\circ}brix$ for the first sugar soaking step and $50^{\circ}brix$ for the second sugar soaking process. Sensory evaluation also showed that SSBSS prepared with $40^{\circ}brix$ for first sugar soaking step and $50^{\circ}brix$ for the second sugar soaking process was graded higher than the other samples in all questionnaires. Prepared SSBSS had a final moisture content of $5.50{\pm}0.39%$, crude protein content of $16.25{\pm}0.07%$, and crude lipid content of $34.26{\pm}3.95%$. The ash and carbohydrate contents of SSBSS were $0.51{\pm}0.05%$ and $43.48{\pm}0.01%$, respectively, and the final glucose content was $10.20{\pm}0.10^{\circ}brix$. GABA concentration was $15.24{\pm}1.47\;mg$/g and the contents of daidzein, genistein, daidzin, and genistin were $695.7{\pm}6.08\;{\mu}g$/g, $810.6{\pm}3.9\;{\mu}g$/g, $755.8{\pm}39.6\;{\mu}g$/g, and $1640.7{\pm}390.8\;{\mu}g$/g, respectively. In addition, the phenolic compound and flavonoid contents in SSBSS were $0.16{\pm}0.01$ and $2.33{\pm}0.40\;mg$/g, respectively.

This study was performed the effect of Sargassum fulvellum extracts (SFE) on the shelf-life and quality improvement of bread. Bread was added with 0.5, 1 and 2% SFE and stored for 9 days. Total microbial counts of the bread added with 1 and 2% SFE were reduced by 2 log cycles at 9 days, and there were no significant changes in pH value or moisture content compared to the control. In addition, the protection factor of the bread added SFE measured by Rancimat showed a higher level than that of the control. Yellowness increased as bread was added with SFE while lightness and redness decreased. Springiness showed no considerable differences between the control and the group added with SFE. Hardness, shear force, gumminess and chewiness were higher than those of the control. In the sensory evaluation, right after manufacturing, taste, texture, and total preference of the bread containing 0.5 and 1% SFE were preferred compared to the control. These results suggest that the addition of 0.5% and 1% SFE to bread enhance the quality and shelf-life of bread.

Soybean curd was mixed with onion powder to develop new foods, and changes in quality characteristics were investigated. The moisture content of onion soybean curd rose as the proportion of onion powder increased Whiteness (as measured by the L value) was high in soybean cud admixed with 0.1% (w/v) onion powder, Redness (the a value) was not significantly altered (the readings were 1.03-1.54) on addition of various onion powder concentrations. Yellowness (the b value) was similarly unaffected (readings 13.00-13.93) when various levels of onion powderwere added. Free sugar analysis showed that glucose was high in soybean curd (67.22 g/100 g) admixed with 0.1% (w/v) onion powder, The main organic acid was tartaric acid, and control organic acids included citric and oxalic acids at high levels. The major free amino acids were L-arginine, ${\gamma}-Amino-n-butyric$ acid, L-histidine, L-glutamic acid, L-serine, L-tyrosine and L-threonine, and amino acid content were high in soybean curd admixed with 0.2% (w/v) onion powder. Major phenolic compounds of onion soybean curd were quercitrin, protocatechuic acid and caffeic acid. The hardness of onion soybean curd was similar to that of the control when onion powder was added to 0.1% or 0.2% (w/v), and decreasedmore onion powder was added. Organoleptic qualities dropped as onion powder levels increased. In summary, onion powder addition to soybean curd is optimal at the 0.2% (w/v) level..

Shelf-life of brined baechu cabbage was extended by pasteurization at $65^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Starters (Leu. citreum and Lab. plantarum) were added to the pasteurized brined cabbage to supply beneficial lactic acid bacteria during kimchi fermentation. Control kimchis made with baechu cabbage without pasteurization and no addition of the starters to the pasteurized cabbage kimchi were also prepared. The fermentation characteristics and health functionalities of DPPH free radical scavenging activities and in vitro anticancer effects in AGS human gastric cancer cells were compared. The pasteurized brined cabbage could not be fermented well and the functionalities were also low; however, the addition of starter(s), especially mixed starters of Leu. citreum and Lab. plantarum to the pasteurized brined cabbage, significantly increased the counts of lactic acid bacteria, hardness (texture) and overall acceptability in sensory evaluation. The free radical scavenging activities and the anticancer effects were also increased. The fermentation patterns of starter added kimchi prepared with pasteurized brined cabbage were similar to those of naturally fermented kimchi. It seemed that growth of lactic acid bacteria during kimchi fermentation contributed to increased taste and health functionality of kimchi.

To prolong the shelf-life of domestic peaches, samples were treated with UV-C (0~10.0 $kJ/m^2$) and the spoiling rate and changes in physico-chemical and sensory properties were investigated. No spoiled peaches were observed within the first four days of storage in the control and 2.5 $kJ/m^2$ UV-C treatment groups. However, spoilage was observed in these groups on day six, and 29.17% and 25.0% of the samples showed spoilage on 10 day, respectively. Moreover, samples treated with greater than 5.0 $kJ/m^2$ of UV-C showed a higher percentage (41.67% or higher) of spoilage than those of the control or 2.5 $kJ/m^2$ UV-C treatment groups on 10 day. Additionally, weight changes in the peaches were the lower in the control group and 2.5 $kJ/m^2$ UV-C treatment group than in those treated with 5.0 $kJ/m^2$ of UV-C treatment or higher during 10 days of storage. There was no difference in pH among treatments, regardless of storage time. The hardness of the samples was not changed immediately after UV-C treatment, but that of samples treated with 5.0~10.0 $kJ/m^2$ of UV-C decreased rapidly after four days, when compared to the control and 2.5 $kJ/m^2$ UV-C treatment groups. No significant changes in the lightness and redness of the samples were observed in response to UV-C treatment, however, UV-C treatment led to a slight decrease in the yellowness of the samples. The initial taste, flavor, color, texture, and overall acceptance did not differ among control and UV-C treatments. The sensory score of the samples was the highest after 2 and 4 days of storage, while it decreased thereafter. In general, samples in the control and the 2.5 $kJ/m^2$ UV-C treatment groups showed higher sensory quality than those treated with UV-C at 5.0 $kJ/m^2$ or higher.
