This study was performed to develop yut(Korean Traditional Candy), products using dried-persimmon, with the ratio of 5, 10, 15, 20 and $25\%$, and the quality characteristics were investigated. The proximate compositions of dried-persimmon were $29.67\%$ moisture, $1.76\%$ crude protein, $0.18\%$ crude lipids, $1.31\%$ crude ash and $3.92\%$ crude fiber, respectively. Brix of yut products were ranged from $81.5\%$ to $83.0\%$. With increasing the amount of dried-persimmon, hunter's color values of Land b were reduced. In the texture property, the addition of dried-persimmon increased hardness, fracturability, gumminess and chewiness, while decreased adhesiveness. Judging from texture, taste and overall acceptability of the yut product, the recommended substitution level of dried-persimmons was $10\%$. In consumer sensory score, the $twenties\~sixties$ gave high score of color, while the $thirties\~fifties$ gave high score of sweetness. Overall acceptance of yut products of $dried-persimmon$ were good in old-age consumers.

Jeung-pyun was irradiated at 0, 5, 10 kGy and pH, reducing sugar, microbiological quality, texture profile analysis and sensory quality were investigated during storage for 2 weeks at $25^{\circ}C$. Irradiation significantly reduced total bacteria counts and indicated an increase in hardness with increasing irradiation dose. Treatments with 5, 10 kGy did not cause significant change in the PH, reducing sugar, but pH, reducing sugar, microbacterial counts in 0 kGy were increased during storage. Main putrefactive microorganisms of Jeung-pyun were identified as Bacillus subtlis. In texture profile analysis, cohesiveness and chewiness of all irradiated samples were observed to reduce during storage. In the result of sensory evaluation, the irradiated samples had higher scores than non-irradiated samples after 4 days.

The effect of additional amounts of subsidiary materials on texture of fish meat paste were examined using Instron Universal Testing Machine to obtain fundamental data for steamed Alaska pollack meat paste showing good qualify. The hardness revealed the good correlation with jelly strength among the six kinds of parameters of Instron texturometer. Products with higher hardness showed a better quality, but those with hardness higher than 16 kg showed decreasing quality with increasing hardness. Predicting the quality of steamed Alaska pollack meat paste with various additional amounts of subsidiary materials as a function of hardness, H, the equation could be deduced as follows: H=11.56+0.54 Xcs, H=12.22-0.23 Xsp and H=11.65-7.13 Xpp. The reasonable equations for predicting the duality of steamed Alaska pollack meat paste with various additional amounts of mixed subsidiary materials could be summarized as follows : H=11.57+0.53Xcs+0.44Xsp, H=11.97-1.83Xpp-0.17Xcs, and H=11.58十0.08Xpp-0.23 Xsp. (Xcs; added amount of corn starch, Xsp: added amount of soy protein isolate, Xpp; added amount of polyphosphate)

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality attributes of cooked hams made with four hind leg muscles (Biceps femoris, Semimembranosus, Rectus femoris, Gluteus medius) and Longissimus dorsi. Muscles were prepared from three market-weighted crossbreeds ($L{\times}Y{\times}D$) and the pH, proximate chemical composition, color, texture attributes, and sensory properties of cooked pork muscle hams were evaluated. In the raw state, no significant differences in pH were found among the five muscle hams. However, Rectus femoris ham had the highest pH, while Longissimus dorsi ham had the lowest pH (p<0.05). All muscle hams had similar moisture, fat, and ash contents. The protein content (%) was highest in Longissimus dorsi ham (p<0.05). The Hunter L value was highest for Longissimus dorsi ham while Rectus femoris and Gluteus medius hams had the lowest Hunter L values (p<0.05). The Hunter a values were similar in Rectus femoris, Biceps femoris, and Gluteus medius hams, and lowest for Longissimus dorsi ham (p<0.05). Texture attributes were not significantly different among the five muscle hams (p>0.05). The results of sensory evaluation showed that Semimembranosus hams had the highest flavor score, but there were no significant differences among five muscle hams with regard to color, taste, and texture (p>0.05).

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of chlorine dioxide fumigation as a substitute for sulfur fumigation which has been used as a method to prevent the quality change of persimmon during storage and distribution process. Dried persimmons were treated with chlorine dioxide gas concentration (0, 15 30, and 45 ppm) and time (0, 15, 30, and 45 min) and microbiological changes, texture properties and color of the treated samples were investigated during storage at room temperature. Total aerobic bacteria, yeast and mold numbers after chlorine dioxide gas fumigation were decreased when compared with the control group. The inhibitory effects of total aerobic bacteria, yeast, and mold were observed during storage. The texture properties and color value of dried persimmons were not affected by chlorine dioxide gas fumigation concentration and time. There was no difference in quality between chlorine dioxide gas fumigation treatment group and control group. These results suggested that chlorine dioxide gas fumigation treatment can be utilized as a processing technique to secure microbiological storage stability of dried persimmons.

Proper processing condition of Yukwa(oil popped rice snack) for mass production and pop-ping mechanism of it were tested with Shinsun (waxy, Japonica type rice) which was excellent for Yukwa making. Optimum steaming time of dough was 15 min among 4 to 60 min and reasonable moisture content of the dough before steaming was 4895 among 48 to 53% which had good and fine texture. Acceptable stirring time of steamed dough was not significantly different among 1 to 4 min, but no stirring with much larger volume was shown very poor and too soft in texture. At the simplification test of milling method, wet milling was better then dry milling in expansion rate and high temperature treatment of dough at 6$0^{\circ}C$ gave negative effect on their quality. Extending high temperature treatment of dough, reducing sugars in the dough increased and it might be caused of starch degradation. In addition of some other protein sources to dough, Yukwa quality were in proportion to the protein content of the beans. At the long term storage of the Yukwa base, moisture absorption was different depending upon RH of atmosphere and the quality of Yukwa was inferior by storage time. By addition of some alcoholic beverage, such as Makkoli, Soju and Chungju, expansion rate and their texture were somewhat improved by increasing addition amount of them from 15% to. 30％ on dough (w/w).

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of mungbean starch gel prepared with different amounts of Salicornia herbacea L. powder. In order to determine the optimal addition level of Salicornia herbacea L. powder, samples of mungbean starch with 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8% of Salicornia herbacea L. powder substitute were prepared, after which physicochemical, textural and sensory quality characteristics were measured. Upon increasing Salicornia herbacea L. powder levels in the formulation, moisture contents of samples decreased, except the 6% addition sample, and salinity levels increased. Total phenolic contents and DPPH radical scavenging activities also increased significantly upon addtion of Salicornia herbacea L. powder. According to the texture analysis, hardness and gumminess decreased with increasing amounts of added Salicornia herbacea L. powder. From the sensory tests, 4% Salicornia herbacea L. powder sample received the highest overall acceptability score with proper levels of flavor, saltiness and texture. As a result, to increase usage of Salicornia herbacea L., the optimal formulation consisted of 4% Salicornia herbacea L. powder substitute for mungbean starch.

The changes in sensory and mechanical texture of chewing gum during storage at various relative humidity were studied to define the quality index for the prediction of shelf-life. The initial moisture content of chewing gum was 2.57% (dry basis). The BET monolayer value at $a_{w}$ 0.19 was calculated to be 1.57% (dry basis). The sensory scores of chewing gum were closely correlated with moisture content and instrumental texture parameters with 0.1% significant level. Therefore the quality of stored chewing gum was directly related with moisture content above BET monolayer. The products became organoleptically acceptable in the range of moisture content $2.17{\sim}3.16%(dry basis)$. This range of moisture content ie equivalent to the ranges of instrumental parameter, fracture force$0.8{\sim}1.8{\times}10^{7}$, fracture modulus $1.1{\sim}2.4{\times}10^{8}$, puncture force $0.5{\sim}1.1{\times}10^{7}[dyne/cm^{2}]$ and brittleness $0.7{\sim}1.4{\times}10^{8}[dyne/cm^{3}]$, respectively.

The method for the measurement of texture hardening phenomena, which is the limiting factor of shelf-life of Yaksik in the market, was established. The changes in the hardening rate by the processing conditions and the storage temperature and time were examined. The standard sample made by traditional method could be kept at room temperature$(20{\circ}C)$ for 3 days and the multipuncture force measured at the end of marketable quality was 700g. The hardening rate increased rapidly by storing at $5^{\circ}C$ and the ratio of hardening rate constants between room temperature and $5^{\circ}C$ storage reached to $1.3{\sim}3.3$ depending on the processing condition. The largest ratio was observed by the sample made from pressure cooker. The addition of corn syrup retarded the hardening rate. The pressure cooking resulted in making too soft product, which diminished the panel preference, but it extend the shelf-life when products were stored at $5^{\circ}C$ microwave cooking resulted in making too hard texture which was not acceptable. The overall quality preference of Yaksik was decided by the textural preference and the latter showed significant inverse correlation with the maximum force of multipuncture test. Therefore, it was concluded that multipuncture test was useful for the measurement of the quality of Yaksik.

This study was to investigate the combined effect of enzyme and trehalose addition on the retrogradation rate and quality changes in a Korean traditional rice cake, Backsulgi. As for the enzyme, a commercial maltogenic amylase, Novamyl, was used. From texture profile analysis and sensory tests, the optimum enzyme content for the preparation of Backsulgi was determined to be 0.1%. Backsulgi was prepared with the fixed content of Novamyl (0.1%) and different ratios (5, 10, 15%) of trehalose, and physicochemical and sensory properties were examined for 3 days of storage at ${25^{\circ}C}$. As trehalose content increased, the water activity of Backsulgi decreased. In Hunter's color value, L- and a-values of trehalose-added samples were significantly lower than those of control. In texture profile analysis, hardness of Backsulgi decreased with trehalose content. During storage, a increase in hardness and a decrease in cohesiveness were typically observed for all samples. However, those changes were significantly reduced with trehalose content. The retardation of retrogradation with the enzyme and trehalose addition was confirmed using calculated Avrami rate and time constants. These results revealed that combined treatments of 0.1% Novamyl and 10% trehalose could produce Backsulgi of better sensory quality with retarded retrogradation compared to separated treatment.
