The effects of tapioca starch (TS) and tapioca modified starch (TMS) as additives on the quality characteristics of rice cookies were investigated in this study. The amounts of TS and TMS replaced were 5, 10 and 15%(w/w) based on 100 g of rice flour. At the result of rapid viscosity analyser (RVA) properties of rice flour added with starches, peak, trough, and final viscosity of rice flour added with TMS decreased significantly(p<0.05). Hardness of dough and cookies as measured by Texture analyzer (TA) significantly decreased upon addition of TMS, and hardness of cookies significantly decreased upon addition of TS, hardness of cookies TMS lower than TS. L value of dough and cookies increased upon addition of TMS, whereas a value decreased upon addition of TMS. Spreadability of cookies increased upon addition of TMS, 10% TMS is the highest. Bulk density of dough decreased upon addition of TMS, bulk density of cookies decreased upon addition of TS and TMS, and bulk density of TMS cookie lower than TS cookie. In sensory evaluation, 10% TS added rice cookies showed the highest score in overall acceptability, hardness, brittleness, color, softness, taste and flavor, and 15% TS added rice cookies showed the highest score in appearance. And 15% TMS added rice cookies showed the highest score in overall acceptability, taste, brittleness, flavor, and 10% TMS added rice cookies showed the highest score in hardness, flavor, taste and color. It is indicated that the quality characteristics and sensory characteristics of the rice cookie can be improved by adding TS and TMS.

This study was performed to improve the quality index of paprika by assessment of instrumental test and sensory attributes. Red paprika (11 cultivars), orange paprika (9 cultivars), and yellow paprika (10 cultivars) were provided by GyeongNam (GN) and JeonBuk Agricultural Research and Extension Services (JB). We measured hardness and color values using a colorimeter and TPA as well as developed new terminology such as cucumber taste, grass taste, green pepper flavor and appearance (size, color size, color, and glossiness), texture (hardness, juiciness), and taste (sweetness, pungency, sourness) to describe paprika quality attributes by trained panels. a* value of red 'Nagano' cultivar provided by JB was significantly low, and only b* value of orange paprika was significantly different among the samples. In the case of yellow paprika, b* values were not significantly different, and hardness was significantly different. Overall color values were different among samples provided by GN. Oranos, orange paprika, L value, b value, and hardness were different among the samples. Bitterness was negatively correlated with sweetness and positively correlated with green pepper aroma (p<0.05). Overall acceptability was positively correlated with size, juiciness, and sweetness (p<0.01) and negatively correlated with pungent (p<0.05) and bitterness (p<0.01). In conclusion, negative attributes such as bitterness and pungentness as well as positive attributes such as size, juiciness, and sweetness must be considered as important factors for consumer preference and breeding of new cultivars.

Objectives: The aim of this in vitro study was to test the effect of 2 finishing-polishing sequences (QB, combining a 12/15-fluted finishing bur and an EVO-Light polisher; QWB, adding a 30-fluted polishing bur after the 12/15-fluted finishing bur used in the QB sequence) on 5 nanotech-based resin composites (Filtek Z500, Ceram X Mono, Ceram X Duo, Tetric Evoceram, and Tetric Evoceram Bulk Fill) by comparing their final surface roughness and hardness values to those of a Mylar strip control group (MS). Materials and Methods: Twelve specimens of each nanocomposite were prepared in Teflon moulds. The surface of each resin composite was finished with QB (5 samples), QWB (5 samples), or MS (2 samples), and then evaluated (60 samples). Roughness was analysed with an optical profilometer, microhardness was tested with a Vickers indenter, and the surfaces were examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Data were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test (p < 0.05) followed by the Dunn test. Results: For the hardness and roughness of nanocomposite resin, the QWB sequence was significantly more effective than QB (p < 0.05). The Filtek Z500 showed significantly harder surfaces regardless of the finishing-polishing sequence (p < 0.05). Conclusions: QWB yielded the best values of surface roughness and hardness. The hardness and roughness of the 5 nanocomposites presented less significant differences when QWB was used.

This study examines the quality characteristics of the muffins made by adding 3%, 6%, and 9% of beet powder, comparing with the reference group. The result showed that there has been no significant difference in the ash content from the groups added with 3% and 9% of beet powder. The height of muffins appeared to be 4.7~5.0 cm, which didn't show any significant difference among the samples. The volume of beet muffins has shown significant difference among the samples (p<0.001). From the measurement result by scanning electron microscope (SEM), the samples had thick cellular walls and coarse pores because there was less gluten content with increased beet powder. From the chromaticity measurement result, L value and b-value decreased, while a-value increased with increased beet powder. From the texture measurement result, hardness increased with increased beet powder. Adhesiveness appeared to be getting lower with increased beet powder. Also, there was significant difference among the samples for cohesiveness (p<0.001). Gumminess got higher in the samples added with 3% and 6% of beet powder, and the highest chewiness was shown in the sample group added with 3% of beet powder. From the sensory evaluation result, overall acceptance has appeared in order of 6% > 9% > 3% > 0%.

Alaska pollock roe is mainly used as a raw material for fermented seafood, especially in the East Asia. Kernels of Alaska pollock roe are not valuable as a raw material and usually discarded as a waste product. In order to utilize the broken roes of Alaska pollock, the smoked product, a imitated sausage, was manufactured for commercial production. Texture intensity (hardness and gumminess) and sensory evaluation (taste and acceptability) of the smoked Alaska pollock roe packed with collagen casing were evaluated based on mixture design and regression models. At higher concentration of carrageenan and lower concentration of starch in the formula of the smoked Alaska pollock roe, higher texture intensity and sensory scores were obtained. pH values of all treatments (control, vacuum and $N_2$ packages) increased up to 6.28, 6.23 and 6.24 on 4 months of storage, respectively, and then decreased. The numbers of VBN, TBA and viable cell counts increased during storage periods, higher in control than in vacuum and $N_2$ packages. Coliform bacteria was not detected in all treatment during storage periods.

This study was performed in order to investigate the quality characteristics of sponge cake made with Laminaria japonia powder. To evaluate the physical and sensory analysis, Laminaria japonia powder was added to wheat flour in various ratio (3, 5, 7, 9%, w/w). The specific gravity and loss rate increased with the addition of Laminaria japonia powder. The crude protein and ash levels in the sponge cakes increased linearly with the addition of 0~9 g of Laminaria japonia powder/100 g of wheat flour. For the crumb color values, lightness (L) and yellowness (b) decreased with the addition of Laminaria japonia powder, whereas redness (a) significantly increased (P<0.05). In the texture analysis, the hardness, gumminess and chewiness were increased; however, the cohesiveness and resilience were reduced by the addition of Laminaria japonia powder. When the sensory characteristics were evaluated, 5% Laminaria japonia sponge cake showed the highest sensory properties, except for color. Therefore, the results suggested that 5% Laminaria japonia sponge cake could be helpful in improving the physical quality as well as the taste.

The effects of $CaCl_2$, K-sorbate, and fermented fish sauces and blanching on the texture of Chinese cabbage of Kimchi were evaluated. The addition of salt-fermented shrimp or salt-fermented anchovy accelerated the pH reduction, acidity increase and reducing sugar consumption, but K-sorbate, Ca-chloride and blanching suppressed the ripening process of Kimchi. The latter retarded the softening rate of Chinese cabbage during Kimchi fermentation, as demonstrated by the cutting force, compression force, recovered height and work ratio. The sensory evaluation confirmed the results of instrumental texture measurments. The instrumental measurements, i.e. pH, acidity cutting thickness, cutting force and compression test parameters, showed acidity acidity was calculated as % lactic acid attributes, i.e. the preferences for taste, appearance and texture, and the level of crispiness, hardness, chewiness and fibrousness. The pH of Kimchi was appeared to be an important quality parameter, whiih had significant correlations with the taste, appearance, chewiness, hardness, fibrousness and crispiness.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of turmeric powder on jeung-pyun. Turmeric jeung-pyun containing 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% turmeric powder was prepared and the moisture, pH, sugar, color, texture, DPPH and sensory properties of the samples were measured. Moisture contents of jeung-pyun were 51.26~51.99% and there were significant differences among the samples(p<0.001). The L-values were significantly decreased with increasing turmeric powder content. The b-value was low in the control and there were significant differences among the samples(p<0.05). Texture profile analysis showed that there were no significant differences among the groups in hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness. The hardness was the lowest in the control group and increased with increasing turmeric powder content. The antioxidant activities as measured by DPPH increased with increasing turmeric powder content (p<0.001). In the sensory evaluation, 1% addition of turmeric powder showed the highest preference in terms of color, taste, flavor, texture and overall preference(p<0.001). As determined by this study, the addition of 1% turmeric powder was the most favorable method for making use of turmeric powder in the production of jueng-pyun.

As a result of the additiong of dietary polysaccharides, such as dextran, xanthan gum, gum guar, and gellan gum, differences were observed in the viscosities of the batter for Jeung according to the polysaccharides and theiramounts added, but the pH was not significantly different. The specific volume was highest, in Jeung-pyun with the addition of $0.1\%$ gum guar, at 2.08. The greater the amount of dextran added, the higher the observed specific volume, but the greater the addition of gellan gum, the lower the observed specific volume. The results wereas similar with regard to the expansion characteristics and air holes. As a result of analyzing the texture, the Jeung-pyun with the addition of 1.2 and $3.0\%$ dextran proved to be significantly lower than the control group in terms of hardness, gumminess and chewiness. In the sensory evaluation, the acceptability of Jeung-pyun with the addition of $0.1\%$ gum guar ranked highest, at 8.00, in overall desirability and that with the addition of gellan gum ranked lowest, regardless of the amount added. When 1, 5 and $10\%$ soybean were to Jeung-pyurl, the viscosities increased from those in the early stage in relation to the amount of added, the greater the addition of soybean, the higher the overall pH, but during the fermentation process. the pH decreased. In the group with the addition of $1\%$ soybean the best results infor specific volume, grain and air holes were observed to be the most desirable, proved to be the softest after analysinganalyzing for texture and ranked highest in the sensory scores.

This study was conducted to promote the utilization of fish paste with added lotus leaf powder as a food. The tested concentrations of lotus leaf powder were 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2%. All the samples of fish paste with added lotus leaf powder had 37% water content. For the Hunter color values, the L, a and b values of the fish paste decreased with increasing concentrations of lotus leaf powder. And the folding test presented a good score(AA). In the texture meter test, the gumminess, and brittleness decreased according to increasing concentrations of lotus leaf powder. However, the hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness of the fish paste were not significantly changed by the addition of lotus leaf powder. In the sensory evaluation, the lotus leaf flavor, hardness, and adhesiveness increased as the concentrations of lotus leaf powder increased. The fish paste with 0.5% lotus leaf powder(0.5 LP) showed the highest acceptance scores in terms of pleasant taste and springiness. The fish paste with 0.5% lotus leaf powder(0.5 LP) also showed the highest acceptance scores for appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall quality. Therefore, the results suggest that lotus leaf powder can be applied to fish paste to increase its quality and functionality.
