Quality characteristics of griddled miljeonbyeong containing vegetable juice were assessed by conducting sensory tests and measuring texture and color. When varying amounts of carrot/or spinach juice was added to miljeonbyeong, the sensory preferences of appearance and texture were higher in miljeonbyeong containing a small amount of carrot and spinach vegetable juice, and the preferences of smell and taste were higher in miljeonbyeong containing a large amount of carrot and spinach juice. Overall, preference was highest in miljeonbyeong supplemented with 30 g carrot juice and 10 g spinach juice. Overall preference correlated significantly with appearance (r=0.44) and texture (r=0.47). In miljeonbyeong containing vegetable juice, tensile strength decreased significantly with increasing amounts of carrot juice (34.98~30.82) or spinach juice (40.84~37.07). In all miljeonbyeong samples, tensile strength increased slightly in 1 hour but rapidly increased after 2 hours. Lightness progressively decreased. A-value increased (3.46~9.63) and b-value increased with increasing amounts of vegetable juice added. No difference in the b-value increase was evident between carrot juice (15.19~26.43) and spinach juice(18.19~24.40). Tensile strength was markedly lower in miljeonbyeong amended with carrot juice (34.98~30.82g) or spinach juice (39.05~32.67 g), which contained fat-soluble pigment, as compared with vegetable-free miljeonbyeong (44.81 g), but the addition of beet juice (45.30~44.78 g) containing water-soluble pigment did not lower the tensile strength of miljeonbyeong compared to vegetable juice. In order to improve the texture of miljeonbyeong containing vegetable juice, tensile strength was measured in miljeonbyeong prepared with 30 g carrot juice or 10 g of spinach juice, which produced the highest sensory test scores, and additionally amended with potato starch, corn starch, glutinous rice flour, strong flour or yam powder with a consequent reduction in the content of wheat flour. Improvement was noted in carrot juice-containing samples prepared with 6 g corn starch, 15 g potato starch and 15 g hard wheat flour, and in spinach juice-containing samples prepared with 6 g corn starch, 6 g potato starch, 6 g hard wheat flour and 15 g dried yam powder.

This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of yanggeng prepared with different ratios of pumpkin. Yanggeng was prepared with three concentrations of pumpkin paste, 87% (sample A), 90%(sample B), and 93%(sample C), to which was added agar, sugar, millet jelly and salt. Proximate composition, Hunter's color, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluation of yanggeng were examined. Lightness of pumpkin yanggeng increased with increasing pumpkin content. In the texture profile analysis, the hardness, cohesiveness and springiness of sample A were significantly higher than those of the other products. The gumminess of sample C was the highest, followed in order by A and B. The tendency of the pumpkin yanggeng to fracture increased with decreasing pumpkin content whereas the elasticity decreased. In the sensory evaluation, the color and taste scores of sample B were significantly higher than those of A and C. Also the overall acceptability of sample B was the highest of the three products.

This study was conducted to compare the commercial noodle flours (n=8) of each milling company in Korea. Eight noodle flour samples were classified into two types of flours, all-purpose flour (AF, n=4) and premium noodle flour (PF, n=4) and tested using general component analysis. Texture assessment and sensory test for doughs and noodles were performed. The dough strength was positively correlated with lower ash content, smaller particle size and longer formation time. Sensory evaluation found that weaker cooked noodle strength correlated with higher scores in preference and softness. As a result, it can be suggested that PF is better than AF in noodle making because PF has lower ash content and smaller particle size than AF. As such, flour characteristics that produce noodle flour of uniform quality can be obtained by combining flours with the above processing characteristics to fit the qualities desired.

Yoghurt base was prepared from skim milk added with 0.25∼2.0%(w/v) of chlorella extract powder and fermented with lactic acid bacteria(Streptococcus thermophilus : Lactobacillus casei = 1:1) at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. Quality characteristics of the yoghurts were evaluated in terms of acid production, number of viable cell, color, texture property, and sensory property during lactic acid fermentation. The addition of 0.25% chlorella extract powder stimulated the growth of lactic acid bacteria which showed the highest number of viable cell counts(l.46${\times}$10$\^$8/ CFU/mL) after 12 hours incubation, and also enhanced the acid production which was pH 4.33 after 12 hours incubation. The L values(brightness) of the yoghurts containing chlorella extract powder were lower than control group, whereas the b values(yellowness) were higher. The hardness and gumminess of the yoghurt added with 0.25% chlorella extract powder were higher than others. Sensory scores of the yoghurt added with 0.25% chlorella extract powder were significantly higher than other groups in color, chlorella odor, sweet taste, chlorella taste, mouth feel, aftertaste and overall acceptability.

The purpose of this study was to examine the possibility of making functional sulgitteok with Goami 2 rice, which is a rich that is high in dietary fiber. Sulgitteok was made by adding various amounts of Goami powder(25, 50, 75, and 100 %) to rice powder. Then, the sensory tests and other tests to measure color, texture and hardness were examined as a function of time and the moisture content in sulgitteok was measured to determine the quality and characteristics of different types of sulgitteok. The conclusions of these tests were as follows : In the sensory evaluation preference test of sulgitteok made with various amounts of Goami powder, the overall preference was the highest in sulgitteok made with 50% Goami powder (S2). In the difference test, the higher the amount of added Goami powder, the lower the grades were. The S4 group, which was made with Gomai powder, had a strongly unique odor compared with those made with rice powder, which smelled weaker. In terms of the color values of Gomai added sulgitteok, the higher the amount of added Gomai powder, the lower the lightness value of sulgitteok, where group S4 had the lowest value. In addition, the S4 group, which was made with Goami powder, had the hightest red and yellow color. The texture test indicated that sulgitteok containing a large amount of Goami powder were considerably harder compared with the control group. While every group containing Goami powder (S1, S2, S3 and S4) became harder during the first to the third day of the test, their hardness tended to drop after longer storage times. In the control group, the hardness continued to grow from the start up to the fifth day. After five days' there was a noticeable change in the moisture content in the different types of sulgitteok, with more water evaporating in the S3, S2, and S1 groups than in the S4 groups, which contained the highest amount of Goami powder. Group C, which contained no Goami powder, had the largest water evaporation. Sulgitteok that contained more Goami powder turned out to be more savory than baekseolgi made solely of rice powder. However, they were less preferable overall, since they were rated lower in terms of color, texture and other characteristics. Therefore, utilize Goami tteok as a functional ingredient in food for people with diabetes or obesity, further studies on additives that can provide a sticky texture and favorable color should be conducted. In addition, different types of ttoek such as pounded or boiled ones may be preferable to sulgitteok.

The quality characteristics of Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) with a mixture of fructooligosaccharide (95%) and AA (acetylated adipate distarch) added, after 2 and 24 hours of storage at $5^{\circ}C$, were investigated. A central composite design was used for arrangement of treatment. Different levels of fructooligosaccharide (95%), 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12%, were added to dry rice flour. In addition, different levels of AA, 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2%, were added to the same dry rice flour. The texture properties analysis using a Texture Analyzer revealed that the springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, gumminess, adhesiveness, and hardness were significantly different. The effect of retarding retrogradation of Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) with added mixtures of fructooligosaccharide (95%) and AA showed an increasing trend as the amount of fructooligosaccharide (95%) and AA increased. Overall, the instrumental texture properties were highly correlated with the sensory characteristics. These results suggest that adding a mixture of 6% fructooligosaccharide (95%) and 1.2% AA to Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) is effective for retarding retrogradation.

Five types of kiwi jelly were prepared with different rates of pressed kiwi juice and carrageenan, and their quality characteristics such as chemical composition, saccharinity, color, texture, and sensory attributes were measured. There were no significant changes in moisture, crude lipid, carbohydrate, but significant differences were shown in crude ash, crude protein, pH, and acidity. The pH decreased and acidity increased as the amount of added kiwi juice increased. The saccharinity of kiwi jelly increased with increased amount of added kiwi juice. Additionally, the total phenolic content, DPPH radical scavenging activity and content increased with increased amount of added kiwi juice. The hardness, gumminess, and chewiness increased with increased levels of carrageenan. As the amount of added carrageenan increased, the L values of kiwi jelly decreased. Based on the sensory evaluation test, kiwi jelly, JKJ(Jeju Kiwi Jelly)-3 was the best in the flavor, sweetness, texture, and overall acceptability. The chemical composition of JKJ-3 was as follows : moisture $75.1{\pm}0.5%$, carbohydrate $24.2{\pm}0.5%$, crude protein $0.29{\pm}0.05%$, and crude ash $0.44{\pm}0.02%$. The kiwi jelly, JKJ-3 of overall acceptability values in the sensory test for flavor, sweetness, hardness, texture and overall favorite were 3.65, 3.35, 3.35, 3.50 and 3.60, respectively, with the addition of 20% pressed kiwi juice and 2.3% carrageenan.

A giant squid has not been utilized in the manufacture of the surimi-based product because of its strong fishy smell and weak gel forming ability. In this study, Amorphophallus konjac flour (AKF) was used to improve the quality of giant squid surimi-based products. The response trace plots showed that the gel texture and water retention ability (WRA) of surimi gel increased as the contents of AKF and surimi increased, whereas the water content decreased. Meanwhile, the whiteness of surimi gel increased as the contents of water and surimi increased, and AKF content decreased. Based on a sensory evaluation, giant squid surimi-products with AKF was inferior in color and taste compared to commercial surimi-based products, This inferiority could be improved by the addition of seasoning ingredients such as sweeteners. AKF successfully removed the fishy smell and improved the surimi gel properties. Therefore, AKF could be used as a food ingredient in surimi-based products.

This study compared the quality characteristics of commercial Cheddar cheese of dairy types (DT) and vegan types (VT) using electronic sensory evaluation (nose and tongue) and texture profile analysis (TPA). The electronic nose detected acetaldehyde, 2-methylbutanal, and n-butanol in all samples, whereas 2,3-pentanedione and pentan-2-one were detected in DT1, VT1, and VT3. The electronic tongue detected various intensities of six tastes in the two types, regardless of the raw material. Principal component analysis by electronic sensory evaluation revealed the differences between the pattern for VT. The TPA results showed that the textures of DT and VT were not classified according to the raw material. However, the protein content affecting texture was <0.6% for VT compared with that for DT. These results are expected to be useful for establishing quality indicators in developing vegan cheese products with characteristics similar to those of dairy cheese.

The meats of tuna Thunnus albacares and swordfish Xiphias gladius are ideal for fish patty production, offering high nutrition and other health benefits. Although red fish meat, including tuna, is added for cost-effectiveness, swordfish white meat is also used, as its aroma resembles that of market-sold beef patties. Here, we assessed the different blending ratios of tuna red meat and swordfish white meat (60:40, 40:60, 20:80, and 0:100) to find the optimal combination for fish patty production. Regarding color, the heated fish patties exhibited increased redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) compared with those of non-heated ones, with similar brightness (L*). The heated patties also scored higher concerning hardness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness. A higher proportion of swordfish white meat resulted in a softer texture, particularly in patties with a ratio of 40% red meat to 60% white meat. Considering the results of the texture comparison analysis, it is recommended that the texture be improved by increasing the physical property "softness." Sensory evaluations revealed that the addition of white meat led to increased scores in terms of smell, beef taste, texture, and elasticity. These results suggest that swordfish white meat, with improved overall quality, is a suitable raw material for fish patties. Accordingly, the recommended ratio of 20% tuna red meat to 80% swordfish white meat is optimal for fish patty production.
