The aim of this study was to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of hand drip, Aeropress, espresso, Moka, Mukka, and Brikka coffee brews. Espresso showed higher antioxidant activity, total solids, caffeine, chlorogenic acid, total phenolic compounds, and trigonelline concentrations compared to the other coffee brews studied. In terms of extraction efficiency, Brikka and Mukka showed higher total solids, as well as caffeine and chlorogenic acid contents, whereas drip coffee brew showed higher trigonelline content than other coffee brews. Meanwhile, principle component analysis (PCA) was conducted based on the aroma profile by e-nose. Samples were gathered into distinct groups that represented their brewing methods. Despite the similarity in brewing principle between Moka and other high-temperature brewing methods (i.e., Mukka and Brikka), the location of Moka coffee brew was closer to that of espresso in PCA, which was consistent with the PCA result conducted by e-tongue.

We investigated the physicochemical properties of brown rice by cultivar to select cultivar suitable for making brown rice porridge. The moisture content of the brown rice ranged from 8.79~11.78% with the highest varieties being ‘Geonyangmi’. The crude ash and crude lipid content ranged from 1.02~1.65% and 1.65~3.26%, while the rest were similar except for ‘Daebo’. Crude protein also had the lowest ‘Daebo’ and generally glutinous rice showed higher crude protein content than common rice. The hardness showed that ‘Seolgaeng’ and ‘Keunnun’ were the lowest, and ‘Haiami’ was the highest. In the RVA analysis, the setback was in the range －80.61~22.44 and was low in the order of ‘Wolbaek’, ‘Baekjinju'', and ‘Dongjinchal’. As a result of water binding capacity (WBC) measurement, ‘Sindongjin’, ‘Geonyang’ and ‘Samkwang’, were high in common rice, and ‘Dongjinchal’ and ‘Hwaseonchal’ were high in glutinous rice. Generally, solubility and swelling power in common rice was found to be lower than in glutinous rice. As a result, ‘Samkwang’ is considered suitable for brown rice porridge production because of high WBC, breakdown, and low setback.

This study was performed to examine the physicochemical and antioxidative properties of the sponge cakes with different contents (0, 2, 4, 6, 8%, w/w) of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) powder (LBP). An increase in LBP content in the cake led to a significant increase in the baking loss rate, specific volume, DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, total phenol contents and total flavonoid contents of the cakes (p<0.05). As the LBP content increased, significant decreases were shown in the specific gravity of batter, sugar contents, pH, lightness, redness and yellowness of the cakes (p<0.05). Ash contents, uniformity index and other textural properties of hardness, springness, cohesiveness, and brittleness did not show any significant differences between the sample groups (p>0.05). These results suggest that LBP can be applied to sponge cakes to achieve positive textural properties such as uniform pore formation and increased volume with increased antioxidant properties.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Doenjang made by seven different traditional soybean paste manufacturers, in Chungbuk province during fermentation. The moisture content of Doenjang declined in the process of fermentation, from 58.07~68.86% to 52.32~63.79%. The salinity increased from 7.47~14.38% to 10.42~17.73%. Sample B was the lowest, and G was the highest. The pH showed a tendency to decline from 5.36~6.22 to 4.30~5.66 except for sample F, which increased 6.33~7.10. In contrast, the total acidity showed a tendency to increase from 0.56~1.77% to 1.11-1.83% except for sample F, which declined 0.71%~0.54%. The lightness declined from 44.33~55.90 to 26.68~49.66. However, the redness and the yellowness generally increased. The content of amino type nitrogen generally increased with the progress of fermentation from 93.33~408.80 mg/kg to 314.07~1,258.13 mg/kg and sample D, with Aspergillus oryzae added, was the highest. The volatile flavor compounds of Doenjang had 10~20 types. Sample D had the fewest number of volatile flavor compounds (10 types of compounds), and sample C had the largest number of it (20 types of compounds). Four types of compounds, ethanol, 3-methyl butanal, ethyl acetate, and 3-methyl butanoic acid, were detected from all samples.

The purpose of this study was to examine the physiochemical characteristics of hot water extract of Caragana sinica roots and verified its protective effect on MIA-induced osteoarthritis in rats. The contents of total polyphenol and total flavonoid used in this experiment were 0.40 mg/g and 0.22 mg/g respectively. We found that the weight of all experiment groups which ingested Caragana sinica extract for three weeks evenly increased in rats with MIA-induced osteoarthritis without toxicity in the liver or kidney. In the histopathological test through the Mankin score, the extent of damage of knee joint tissue in the experiment groups to which Caragana sinica extract was administered in 5 mL/kg or 10 mL/kg was significantly lower than that of the negative control groups statistically(p<0.05). As for the grade of osteoarthritis, the extent of tissue damage of the experiment groups to which Caragana sinica extract was administered in 5 mL/kg or 10 mL/kg was lower than that of the negative control groups as well.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects by supplementing concentrates during the late fattening phase in TMR (total mixed ration) feeding of Korean steer on the performance, carcass traits, physico-chemical characteristics and sensory test of the longissimus dorsi muscle. Eight Korean steers (24 months of age) averaging 604 kg in body weight were fed the TMR (Control) or the TMR supplemented with concentrates (TMR+conc.) until 30 months of age, then they were slaughtered. Steers fed the TMR supplemented with concentrates had a higher (p<0.05) intakes of dry matter and TDN (total digestible nutrient), carcass weight and marbling score compared to those fed TMR only, but carcass grade did not differ (p>0.05) between treatments. Amino acid concentration of the longissimus dorsi muscle did not differ between treatments, However, the highest concentrations were for glutamic acid and lowest for cystine; further, and the content of essential amino acids was highest for lysine, leucine, threonine, arginine, and isoleucine in that order. Cis-oleic acid and arachidonic acid of fatty acids in the longissimus dorsi muscle were higher (p<0.05) in the control condition compared to TMR+conc. The contents of oleic acids, palmitic acid, stearic acid constituted about 88% of the total fatty acids. Although the physico-chemical characteristics of the longissimus dorsi muscle did not significantly differ between treatments (p>0.05), but the sensory test results were lower for the TMR+conc. condition. These results suggest that supplementing concentrates during the late fattening phase of Korean steers resulted in increasing the carcass weight and marbling score. However, the cis-oleic acid content of the longissimus dorsi muscle was decreased as a result of supplementing concentrates, which could affect negatively in meat sensory evaluation.

본 연구는 합천호에서 2002~2017년까지 16년간의 장기간 동안 수질변수를 이용하여 부영양화 특성, 경험적 모델분석 및 몬순강도에 따른 수질변이 특성을 분석하였다. 장기간의 연별 수질 분석에서 합천호는 중영양 ~부영양 상태로 분석되었고, 계절별 수질분석에서 부영양화 현상은 하절기 이후 심화되는 것으로 나타났다. 장기간의 수질변이 특성은 유역의 점오염원 및 비점 오염원이 크게 변하지 않는 상황 하에서 매년 강우 사상 (집중 강우 vs. 약한 강우) 및 계절적인 강우강도에 의해 조절되는 것으로 분석되었다. 총인(TP), 총질소(TN), 생물학적 산소요구량(BOD) 및 이온 농도변화는 건기해(Dry year)와 홍수해 (Wet year)의 비교분석에서 뚜렷한 차이를 보여 영양염류, 유기물 농도 및 이온농도 변동에 가장 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히, 수질 변수 중 매년 영양염 지표(TP, TN), 유기물 지표(BOD, COD), 총 부유물질 농도 및 1차생산력의 지표 (Chl-a)는 강수량과 정상관관계를 보였다. 녹조의 지표인 Chl-a 농도는 총인, 총질소, 및 BOD와 높은 상관관계를 보여, 타 호수처럼 영양염의 과도한 증가시기에 Chl-a농도가 낮아지는 특성과는 차이를 보였다. Log-전환된 총질소, 총인 및 Chl-a에 대한 경험적 모델(Empirical model) 분석에 따르면, Chl-a 농도는 인(phosphorus) 농도에 의해 1차적으로 조절되며, 질소(N)농도는 유의한 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 Log10TN, Log10TP, Log10CHL의 상류, 중류, 하류구간에 대한 공간적 회귀분석에서 총인과 Chl-a는 p <0.005의 유의적인 상관관계를 나타내었으나 총질소와 Chl-a는 p > 0.005의 결과를 보여, 녹조번성에 대해 인(P)이 핵심역할을 하는 것으로 분석 되었다. 또한, 총질소와 총인 모두 Chl-a와 댐에 가까운 하류구간(Lacustrine zone)에 비해 상류구간(Riverine zone)에서 더 유의적인 결과를 보여, 상류역에서 무기성 부유물의 농도의 영향에 의한 광제한 효과(Light limitation)가 거의 나타나지 않는 것으로 분석되었다.

최근 산림훼손이 심각하게 진행되고 있는 몽골의 수도 울란바토르 근교 산림과 초지 토양의 이화학적 특성을 분석, 비교하였다. 유기물함량은 초지토양이 평균 17.0%로, 산림토양보다 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 유기물함량은 해발고가 낮을수록(R2=0.742) 그리고 양이온교환용량(CEC)이 클수록 높은 경향을 보였다(R2=0.597). CEC도 초지토양이 평균 35.3cmolc + kg-1으로, 산림토양 보다 유의하게 높았고(p<0.05), 교환성 양이온 중 특히 칼슘의 집적이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 염기포화도는 평균 62.4∼129.7%로, 100%를 초과하는 토양도 많았고, 염기포화도가 높을수록 pH가 높아지는 경향을 보 였다(R2=0.665). 총질소 함량은 0.05~0.93%의 범위를 나타냈으며, 산림보다 초지토양에서 더 높았다 (p<0.05). 총질소 함량은 유기물함량이 높을수록 높은 값을 나타냈으며(R2=0.699), C/N비는 산림토양 28.8~43.0 그리고 초지토양 12.8~18.4로 각각 나타났다(p<0.05). 토양의 이화학적 특성 간 상관분석 결과, 유기물함량과 전질소, 유기물함량과 총인, 유기물함량과 CEC 그리고 토양 pH와 염기포화도는 서 로 정의 상관관계 그리고 CEC와 암모늄태 질소, 전질소와 총인 그리고 C/N비와 염기포화도는 부의 상 관관계가 각각 나타났다(p<0.05). 중금속 함량은 아연과 납이 가장 많이 검출되었으나, 도심과 비교하 면 아주 미미한 수준이었다. 이러한 연구결과들은 향후 몽골의 산림복원 과정을 모니터링 하는데 유용 하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

This study attempts to analyze the physicochemical characteristics of rice flour developed as rice powder for exclusive use, steamed rice cake recipes developed as basic recipefor rice cakes. The study also aims to compare the quality characteristics of steamed rice cakes in an effort to establish the possibilities of developing various rice cake recipes. The moisture content and amylose content increased as the rice powder particles for exclusive use became finer. With regards to water uptake, in the case of the Hungara type, the water uptake increased as rice powder particles increased in size. In the case of the Shingil and commercial types, the water uptake decreased as rice powder particles increased in size, and solubility and swelling force decreased as rice powder particles increased in size. In the case of chromaticity, Sulgidduk made with rice powder for exclusive use the brightness (L value) increased as powder particles became finer and the yellow indexes (b value) decreased, and this was especially pronounced in the Shingil type. The measurements of changes in the mechanical textures of Sulgidduk showed that rice types with larger particles led to lower hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and chewiness.

배양액으로부터 isopropyl alcohol로 침전하여 얻은 crude biopolymer를 gel chromatography와 음이온교환수지인 DEAE-cellulose로 ion exchange chromatography를 행한 결과 분자량은 대략 9.65×105 Da였으며 5%(w/w)의 중성당 (PSI)과 95%(w/w)의 산성 당(PSII)을 함유하고 있었다. Crude biopolymer의 총 당 함량은 57%, acyl group 0.88%, uronic acid인 CO2의 함량은 17.5%임을 알 수 있었다. CPC와 crude biopolymer와의 착물형성에 따라 NaCl과 CaCl2의 염을 사용하는 분리정제를 위한 임계농도는 두 가지 염 모두 0.4에서 0.5 M의 농도범위를 나타내었다. CPC를 사용하여 산성당과 중성당을 각각 분리하여 분석한 결과 중성당은 glucose, arabinose, mannose를 함유하였고 산성당은 glucose, xylose, galactose, arabinose, mannose 의 구성당을 함유하고 있었다. Crude biopolymer의 95%를 차지하고 있는 산성당(PSII)의 molarity 비율은 glucose: xylose:galactose : arabinose :mannose = 32.8 : 0.48 : 8.91 : 1 : 24.98의 비율로 계산되어 glucose와 mannose와 galactose가 주요 구성당이라고 할 수 있었다. 당 결합 양상은 smith degradation 결과, product로 glucose glycerol, erythritol이 생성되어 1, 6 및 1, 4 결합으로 구성되어진 다당으로 추정하였다. 중화당량은 372로 분석되어 2.3 잔기당 음이온이 한 개 존재하는 biopolymer임을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the product characteristics and physicochemical properties were investigated through collection of commercial porridge. The addition rate of grain raw materials was about 6.5~11.75%, glutinous rice was added at a rate of about 23~60% to improve the viscosity and various other food additives were used. The moisture content characteristics varied among the products. The rotational viscosity of CP (Commercial Porridge)4 was the highest at 39,054 cP, while the flow viscosity of CP3 was least at 4.80 cm/30 seconds. The starch content differed among the products in the range of total starch 6.96~8.08%, amylose 1.41~2.61%, total sugar 6.55~12.81% and reducing sugar 0.50~0.99%. Particularly, total sugar showed a very high correlation ( 0.920) while rotational viscosity and color value (b) showed significant correlation with most of the properties i.e. moisture, solids content etc. There was a rapid increase in the reactivity of starch degrading enzyme at the early stage of the reaction which gradually decreased with time. The physicochemical characteristics of commercial porridge presented in this study could be expected to increase the industrial use value of the related research because it considers the quality of the currently commercialized porridge for the future selection of suitable porridge raw materials.

This study aimed to evaluate the characteristic differential between whole cabbage kimchi (pogi kimchi) and sliced cabbage kimchi (mat kimchi) during kimchi fermentation at 6oC. The difference of microbial and physicochemical properties was investigated until 6 weeks. For the changes in the microbial flora, both kimchi samples exhibited a continuous increase in total aerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) population size up to 2 weeks followed by a stationary phase until 5 weeks. Interestingly, the number of LAB of mat kimchi was overall higher than that of pogi kimchi during kimchi fermentation. We speculate that mat kimchi has in a more advantageous growth condition than pogi kimchi for microbial growth because small kimchi cabbage size appropriately derives nutritional supply in order to increase the LAB growth. During lactic fermentation at 6oC, physicochemical changes in the pH, salinity, and titratable acidity was observed to be no significant differences between two types of kimchi. Furthermore the contents of organic acids such as oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, fumaric acid, and acetic acid was not significantly different (p>0.05) between both kimchi samples as well as the contents of total free amino acid.
