The possibility of buckwheat-wheat flour mixture as bread was studied by adding 10, 20, and 30% of buckwheat to wheat flour. To improve bread-making quality of the mixture, gluten, ascorbic acid, and hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) were added to 30% buckwheat-wheat flour and sensory evaluation was also exercised on it. The weight of bread increased but the volume of that decreased as the percentage of buckwheat to wheat flour increased, and improved bread-making quality by adding gluten, ascorbic acid, HPMC to 30% buckwheat-wheat composite flour. When it comes to color, color of the bread got darker as the percentage of buckwheat increased, got brighter when gluten and HPMC were added and showed little difference when ascorbic acid was added. Texture of bread increased in maximum weight, strength, hardness but decreased in springiness and cohesiveness. The use of additives showed influence to the some results. In terms of the aging process, enthalpy increased with storage time, and it could be slowed down by the use of the additives. The sensory evaluation shwoed that 10% buckwheat-wheat bread was most excellent, 20% bread was similar to other bread made from wheat flour, and the bread made by mixing additives were better than just 30% buckwheat-wheat flour in terms of quality.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate quality characteristics of dried noodles when different concentrations of lotus leaf powder (LLP) were added to the wheat flour, thereby determining which noodle recipe was preferred. The cooking quality, mechanical texture properties, and viscosity were measured, and then a sensory evaluation was conducted with the prepared noodles. The gelatinization points of the composite LLP-wheat flours were shown to have an increased, viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 minutes. As measured via amylograph, the maximum viscosity values of those samples were decreased as the LLP content was increased. As well, when increased amounts of LLP were added, both the L and a values were reduced, whereas the b value was increased. The color values, weight and volume of the cooked noodle increased, as did the turbidity of the soup. With regard to the textural characteristics, the LLP additive increased hardness and cohesiveness, and reduced adhesiveness and springiness. Overall, according to the results of our sensory evaluation, the noodles prepared with 5% LLP were preferred over the other noodles.

The effects of Japanese apricot(Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc.) flesh on baking properties of white breads were investigated by evaluation of specific loaf volume, pH, acidity, rheological property, color and sensory quality. Bread was processed by adding 4.7%, 9.4%, 14.1% and 18.8% of Japanese apricot flesh to basic formulation. The compositions of Japanese apricot flesh were 88.19% moisture, 0.45% crude ash, 4.10% dietary fiber, 4.04% citric acid and 0.41% total sugars. The specific loaf volume of the breads was decreased from 3.274mL/g to 1.857mL/g as Japanese apricot flesh contents increased from 0% to 18.8%. The pH of the breads decreased but the acidity of those increased as the percentage of Japanese apricot flesh to wheat flour increased. Lightness(L value) of the breads decreased by the addition of Japanese apricot flesh, while yellowness(b value) and redness(a value) increased. Texture measurement showed that springiness, cohesiveness and resilience decreased with increase of Japanese apricot flesh contents. While, hardness, gumminess and chewiness were the lowest in the bread with 9.4% Japanese apricot flesh, and increased in the bread with 4.7%, 14.1% and 18.8% Japanese apricot flesh contents. In sensory evaluation, the highest sensory scores for flavor, taste, aftertaste and overall acceptability were obtained when Japanese apricot flesh content was 4.7%, and softness and chewiness was the best when 9.4% of Japanese apricot flesh was added. The moisture content of the breads containing Japanese apricot flesh was higher than that of the control to add no flesh during storage at $25^{\circ}C$. Based on physical, rheological and sensory evaluation, addition of 4.7{\sim}9.4% Japanese apricot flesh suggested to be acceptable for processing bread.

Texture hardening of Yackwa during storage is the major quality deterioration of Yackwa. In this study the effects of gellan gum and xanthan gum on texture hardening of Yackwa during storage were studied. Instrumental hardness and sensory evaluation results showed that addition of 0.05 % and 0.1 % of gellan gum or 0.1 % and 0.5 % of xanthan gum significantly decreased the hardness of Yackwa by 32 ∼ 63 % after 4 weeks of storage. Retardation of texture hardening was obtained even at the 0.05 % level of gellan gum, indicating that gellan gum was a more potent texture modifier for Yackwa than xanthan gum. Correlation analysis between moisture content and hardness of Yackwa showed that there was high correlation between moisture content and hardness of Yackwa after 4 weeks storage ($r^2$=-0.998), regardless of the initial moisture content. These results suggest that retardation of texture hardening during storage is primarily related to moisture retention of Yackwa during storage.

The changes in physicochemical characteristics and sensory evaluation of bracken (Pteridium aquilinum) and Aster scaber dried by different methods sun-dried, hot-air-dried and freeze-dried were investigated. The freeze-dried Aster scaber showed the lowest moisture content than those of sun-dried and hot-air-dried. Freeze-dried bracken and Aster scaber showed higher rehydration rate than sun-dried and hot-air-dried. In the color values, the freeze-dried bracken and Aster scaber had the highest $L^*$ value of 29.48 and 32.73, respectively, while freeze-dried Aster scaber showed the lowest $a^*$ value of -6.78. Rehydrated bracken and Aster scaber after freeze-dried were the highest value in $L^*$ and $b^*$, while the lowest in $a^*$ value. In sensory evaluation, freeze-dried bracken and Aster scaber showed the highest in color, appearance, flavor, texture and overall acceptability. There were no significant differences in texture between hot-air-dried bracken and freeze-dried bracken after rehydrating. However, freeze-dried bracken and Aster scaber were the highest in color, appearance, flavor and overall acceptability. In conclusion, freeze-dried bracken and Aster scaber showed the best rehydrated rate, color and sensory properties.

This study was performed to make new products rising Pimpinella brachycarpa N., one of the Korean aromatic medicinal plant called chamnamul, which is a perennial plant of the Umbelliferae family. New products were natural chamnamul spice, chamnamul soup, chamnamul tea, and chamnamul mook as functional foods. The masking effect of Pimpinella brachvcarpa N., on fishy and meaty odor were investigated to test the usefulness of chamnamul as a natural spice. It could be concluded that the effect of added amounts of chamnamul on the cream soup increases the taste and appearance, and improves the flavor and color by the sensory evaluation. The chamnamul tea prepared by a filtration method is better than that by a leaching method on the preference test. In the texture properties of chamnamul mooks by a texture analyzer (XT-RA, Texturometer), the cohessiveness of them was higher than that of the white one.

Muffins are prepared with different amounts of buckwheat powder (0~50%), and their quality characteristics are being investigated. The specific gravity is not affected by the addition of buckwheat powder (10~30%). The lightness (L value) and yellowness (b value) of muffins are decreased with increasing buckwheat amounts, whereas redness (a value) increased. No significant differences are being observed between muffins added with buckwheat (0~50%) for volume, weight, height, baking loss rate and specific volume. For textural characteristics, the cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of muffins showed no significant differences between the groups, whereas hardness was decreased. In the sensory evaluation, score of color is decreased with increasing buckwheat amounts, whereas grain, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptances are insignificant between groups. Upon the results of this study, it is assumed that the developments of food products when using buckwheat are prospective in response to health-oriented consumers.

In this study, we investigated the effects of sweeteners on the quality of Kakdugi through the addition of 1.8% sugar, 0.006% sodium saccharin or 0.006% stevioside using a physicochemical test and sensory evaluation during fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$. The addition of sugar to Kakdugi resulted in the lowest pH and the highest total acidity relative to the control and experimental groups during the fermentation period. The number of lactic acid microorganism gradually increased and then decreased. The sensory evaluation revealed that the addition of sodium saccharin to Kakdugi resulted in the highest sweet smell and taste followed by the addition of stevioside. The addition of sodium saccharin to Kakdugi showed the highest sweet taste and the best texture, and the sweetness compensated for the sour smell and taste.

Influence of garlic on the quality characteristics of apple jam was investigated. Apple jams with various amounts of sugar and garlic were prepared, and their sweetness, color difference, and instrumental texture were evaluated. The results were as follows: 1. When equal amount of sugar was added, the sweetness of apple jam decreased as the garlic content increased. 2. As the garlic content increased, the lightness and yellowness tended to be high and the redness and ΔE tended to be low, resulting that the color of apple jam was improved. 3. As the sugar content increased, the hardness and adhesiveness of the jam tended to increase when garlic was added at 10%. 4. Apple jam with 60% sugar and 10% garlic was the best in adhesiveness, glossiness, and overall quality by sensory evaluation. As the addition of garlic did not cause any significant difference in flavor, cooked garlic could be applied in apple jams.
