The changes of the aerobic viable bacterial counts, the content of chemical components and the sensory evaluation in Kimchis which were prepared with Various ingredients (red pepper, green onion, garlic and ginger) and fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$ were investigated. Aerobic viable bacterial counts were suddenly decreased with fermentation, but it was decreased slowly from the second day. Salinity of Kimchis was $1.8%{\sim}2.0%$ and titratable acidify were lower in sample 2 (deleted red pepper) and 3 (deleted green onion) on the first day but sample 4 (deleted garlic) after the fifth day. Total sugar content was decreased from $1.8{\sim}2.7g/100g$ to $0.8{\sim}1.1g/100g$ during fermentation periods. Carbon dioxide content maintained relatively higher in sample 2 and 5 (deleted ginger) with fermentation. Volatile organic acid content showed no difference in all Kimchis with fermentation. During the whole fermentation period, appearance was the worst in sample 2. Texture, off-flavor and overall-eating quality were the worst in sample 4. Carbonated flavor and overall eating quality were the best in sample 5.

Made using a natural mixed starter of lactic acid bacteria and yeast, Koumiss is a slightly alcoholic fermented mare's milk beverage, and a traditional drink of the nomadic populations of Central Asia. Cichorium intybus L. (chicory) is a sedative with potential cardioactive properties, and its oligosaccharides are beneficial in maintaining healthy gastrointestinal flora. Hence, in this study, we have generated a functional Koumiss containing two different concentrations of chicory. After fermentation of the Koumiss premix, the TA increased to 0.85~0.88%, and the pH decreased to ~4.3. The addition of either concentration of chicory had no significant effect on pH and TA. However, the taste, flavor, color, texture, and overall acceptability decreased in proportion to the added amount of chicory. This study has provided the first data on Koumiss supplemented with chicory. The results could be useful in developing high-quality Koumiss with functional activity using chicory, and allowing large-scale industrial production. Further studies are needed to determine if chicory root extract is beneficial for lifestyle-related diseases.

Changes in the quality characteristics of muskmelon were analyzed by treating samples with 500, 1,000, and 1,500 ppb 1-MCP every 4 days and then storing the samples at $10^{\circ}C$. The weight losses of the MCP treated samples were lower than those of the control, while there were no differences in the concentrations among treatments. The firmness was maintained at a higher value in 1-MCP treated samples than the control during the storage period and showed the highest value in the 1,000 ppb treatment. The L-values (brightness of samples) in the 500 and 1,000 ppb treatments were kept constant during the storage period, while that of the control showed a decreasing trend after four days of storage. The bvalues and yellowness, were decreased after showing an increasing trend in both treatments and the control as the storage period passed. The respiration rates of 1-MCP treated samples were lower than the control, with the lowest value being observed in the 1,000 ppb treatment. The texture observed upon sensory evaluation was higher and freshness was maintained longer in the 1,000 ppb treatment. Therefore, 1,000 ppb 1-MCP was considered to be the most effective concentration for treatment of muskmelon.

Effects of ${\gamma}$-oryzanol (0.0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0%) addition on physical and chemical properties of yackwa were determined during storage for 6 weeks at $30^{\circ}C$. Acid, peroxide, and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) valves, color, texture, fatty acid compositions, hexanal content, and rancid flavor of yackwa were measured. Acid, peroxide, and TBA values. and hexanal contents of ${\gamma}$-oryzanol-treated groups were significantly lower than those of groups without ${\gamma}$-oryzanol treatment after 6 week (p < 0,05) and showed concentration-dependency, while no significant differences were observed in colors (p > 0.05). Effects of ${\gamma}$-oryzanol on textural characteristics were not consistent. As storage time increased, ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids or ${\gamma}$-oryzanol-added groups was higher than that of groups without ${\gamma}$-oryzanol addition. Addition of ${\gamma}$-oryzanol was effective in decreasing hexanal formation. Sensory evaluation showed rancid odor decreased with increasing concentration of ${\gamma}$-oryzanol. These results suggested ${\gamma}$y-oryzanol, as a natural antioxidant, delayed quality decrease of yackwa during storage.

This study explores the quality characteristics of white pan bread added with perilla leaf powder, and the results are as follows. The WRC(water retention capacity) of PLP (perilla leaf powder) added to the bread dough increased as the addition increased, and the initiation temperature during the rapid visco analysis (RVA) increased with more additions, showing significant differences. The highest and the lowest viscosity of the sample decreased as the powder added increased. The brightness(L value) of the bread without the powder was the highest, and the redness (a value) and the yellowness (b value) showed significant differences among the samples. Hardness increased showing significant differences among the samples as the powder added increased Chewiness was the highest but preference value was the lowest in the sample with 7% of the powder. The lowest score was shown in the color of the sample with the most PLP added. Flavor was the lowest of 4.93 in the comparison sample without the leaf powder added while bitter taste scored the highest of 5.21 in the sample of 3% powder added. It was also the highest in overall acceptance while the sample with the most powder showed the lowest of 4.03. From these results, it can be said that the preference of bread with PLP seems to decrease when more than 5% of PLP is added.

Cold air drying was conducted on steamed chestnut-sweet potato to improve its quality, convenience, and preference as snack. Steamed sweet potato was dried from 10 to $25^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours, and moisture contents, colors, texture, and taste were evaluated. The lowest moisture content was 4.53% at $25^{\circ}C$. Lightness decreased while other color values (a, b, and ${\Delta}$E) increased with increasing drying temperature and drying time. Reducing sugar and soluble solid contents ranged from 93.22~190.35 mg/g and 17~60 $^{\circ}Brix$, respectively. The highest hardness of chestnut-sweet potato was 25.13 kgf/$cm^2$, and springiness and cohesiveness were 88.60, and 94.87%, respectively, when dried at $25^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours. Sensory evaluation score was highest at $20^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The optimum drying conditions were determined to be $19^{\circ}C$ and 39.5 hours by RSM(response surface methodology).

The purpose of this study was to examine the qualities of muffins made with 0.1, 0.5, and 1% of Ecklonia cava hot water extracts (WEC). The muffins containing 0.1, 0.5, and 1% of WEC were acceptable by sensory evaluation such as color, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. The moisture contents of muffins made with WEC were not significantly different from muffins not containing WEC (control) during the early storage period (p<0.05), whereas after 3 days of storage, the moisture contents of muffins made with WEC were higher than that of control. The total microbial count in muffins made with 1% of WEC decreased as compared to that of control with an increase in storing time. The antioxidative activities, DPPH radical scavenging and superoxide dismutase-like activity of muffins increased with an increase in the concentrations of WEC. These results suggest that the addition of WEC to muffins has a good effect on improving the shelf-life and overall quality.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics of seasoned skewered chicken added with fermented carrot juice (FCJ) during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 21 days. The carrot juice was fermented using 2% Leuconostoc mesenteroides SM at $25^{\circ}C$ for 18$\sim$20 hr. Seasoned skewered chicken was produced containing 0, 5% and 10% FCJ. The pH and color values of seasoned skewered chicken were decreased with longer storage periods, while the VBN content was increased during storage. Bacteria was not detected in seasoned skewered chicken containing FCJ. The saturated fatty acid in seasoned skewered chicken decreased with increasing additions of FCJ, whereas the unsaturated fatty acid was increased compared to the control. The texture, resilience, springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness of seasoned skewered chicken were not significantly different, while the hardness of seasoned skewered chicken added with 10% FCJ was significantly the lowest (p<0.05). With regard to sensory evaluation, seasoned skewered chicken added with 10% FCJ resulted in higher overall acceptability than other skewered chickens. These results suggest that manufacture of seasoned skewered chicken added with FCJ can help to improve quality of skewered chicken.

In the present paper, we investigated the quality stability of mackerel based burger during frozen storage. The moisture and crude lipid contents of products were $60.2{\sim}61.5%$ and $14.7{\sim}14.9%$, respectively. The pH showed a tendency of decrease, while volatile basic nitrogen content showed a tendency of increase during frozen storage. The histamine content was $2.60{\sim}2.81\;mg/100g$, and this value increased slowly during frozen storage. The increasing ratio in the peroxide value, carbonyl value, TBA value, fatty acid composition and color value of vacuum packed product and antioxidants added product were lower than those of air packed product. The texture profile analysis parameters such as hardness and toughness showed a tendency of a slight increase in air packed product and showed less increase in vacuum packed product and antioxidants added product. From the results of chemical experiments and sensory evaluation during frozen storage, it is concluded that the vacuum packed mackerel based burger and antioxidants added mackerel based burger were good condition for preserving the quality during frozen storage of 60 days.
