In this study, the properties of the substances fermented soybean producted by manufacturing with several Aspergillus strains were investigated. The five soybean cultivar that includes miso, jinpung, pyeongwon, cheonga and chamol were used in this experiment. The pH and total acidity were 6.30~6.66%, and 0.27~0.48%, respectively with differences depending on the samples. The color values for L value, a, and b value were 60.28~69.80, 0.64~3.68, and 11.48~31.21, respectively. The amylase activities, protease activities, and amino-type nitrogen of the jinpung samples were the highest among all cultivars. The mold counts the fermented soybean products by cultivars were 6.18~9.14 log CFU/g, and miso was the highest. Free amino acid and organic acid contents were highest in the jinpung and showed different composition depending on each sample. A total of 18 volatile aroma-compounds, including two acids, four alcohols, four ketones, three phenols, one furan, three pyrazines, and one miscellaneous compounds. In conclusion, it is expected that manufacturing A. oligze inoculation fermented soybean products using jinpung cultivar will improve quality.

The objective of this study is to determine the effects of barrel temperature and moisture content on the physicochemical properties of texturized vegetable protein (TVP). The water absorption index, water solubility index, texture, integrity index, color, and scanning electron micrograph of the TVP were analyzed. The extrusion conditions consisted of barrel temperature (110, 130, and 150oC) and moisture content (40, 45, and 50%) at a fixed screw speed of 250 rpm. The TVP extruded at 150oC barrel temperature and bearing 50% moisture content had higher water absorption index and water solubility index. Elastic force, cohesiveness, and color differences were the highest in the TVP extruded at 150oC barrel temperature and possessing 40% moisture content. However, the TVP at 150oC barrel temperature and having 40% moisture content had a lower integrity index than the TVP carrying moisture contents of 45 and 50%. The structure of the TVP extruded at 150oC barrel temperature and having 40% moisture content was found similar to a chicken breast tissue’s structure. In conclusion, 150oC barrel temperature and 40% moisture content are optimal conditional characteristics for the texturization of soy protein isolate and gluten.

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.

버섯 균사체 배양물을 이용한 식초개발 결과는 다음과 같다. 버섯 균사체 배양물의 베타글루칸 함량 분석결과 현미에서는 29.2 mg/g이었으나 버섯 균사체 배양물에서 함량이 증가하여 상황 78.7 mg/g, 동충하초 46.6 mg/g, 노랑느타리 19.9 mg/g 순으로 나타났다. 또한 동충하초 배양물은 조지방과 베타글루칸 함량이 상대적으로 높고, 코디세핀도 0.34 mg/g 함유되어 있었다. 버섯 균사체 배양물 첨가에 따른 알코올 발효특성은 건조시료 중에서는 현미, 동충하초가 생시료 중에서는 노랑느타리의 알코올 생성능이 높았으며, 초산발효 시 산도는 건조시료에서는 노랑느타리가, 생시료에서는 현미의 산도가 높았다. 버섯 균사체 배양식초의 이화학적 특성 분석결과 건조시료 중 노랑느타리와 동충하초 식초가 산도가 높고 환원당 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났으며 기호도 평가 결과 노랑느타리와 동충하초 균사체 식초가 현미식초에 비해 기호도가 높았고 이취는 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 버섯 균사체 식초의 기능성분 분석결과 동충하초 식초는 폴리페놀이 우수하였고 또한, 코디세핀이 786 mg/L 함유되어 있으며, 노랑느타리 식초는 베타글루칸 함량이 20.9 mg/g으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 버섯 균사체를 활용한 발효식초 제조에 적합한 균으로는 동충하초와 노랑느타리가 적합한 것으로 나타났으며, 향후 적정 초산 발효기간, 보존 방법 등의 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of soaking and ultrasonic extraction by observing the change of contents with extraction time of physicochemical properties (solid content, colorness, caffeine, chlorogenic acid, total polyphenols, DPPH, and ABTS). As a result of the analysis, solid content increased with longer extraction time and the whiteness tended to decrease with longer extraction time. Conversely, the extraction of functional materials showed a tendency to increase as the extraction time increased. Caffeine reached the maximum value after two hours soaking, but showed the same result as one hour for sonication. Chlorogenic acid did not show difference from the content of coffee extracted for one hour soaking only by sonication extraction for 30 minutes. The total polyphenols eluted with approximately two hours of soaking even after 30 minutes of sonication. DPPH and ABTS were insignificant in their concentrations, but their antioxidative effect was more than two hours of soaking with only 30 minutes of sonication. Sonication has a short time extraction from a functional aspect (caffeine content, chlorogenic acid, polyphenol content, and antioxidant capacity) and this experiment can provide basic data for the development of innovative recipes.

Oleic acid의 분자분절 운동에 대한 cholesterol 유도체들의 영향을 보다 잘 이해하기 위해 소량의 첨가물들이 포함된 oleic acid 시료에 대해 밀도, 점성도, IR, 1H NMR, self-diffusion coefficient를 측정하였다. 이 측정을 통하여 cholesterol, cholestanol, cholestane, cholesteryl oleate, benzene, ethanol 등의 첨가물이 포함된 oleic acid 시료에 이들의 효과가 어떻게 나타나는지 알 수 있었다. OH기와 하나의 이중결합을 갖고 있는 cholesterol은 oleic acid의 점성도는 크게 증가시켰으나, 자체 확산계수, 분자내 운동은 감소시켰다. 다른 첨가물들을 시험한 결과 OH기의 유무, 이중결합의 정도에 따라 영향이 변화하였다. 벤젠과 에탄올의 경우 점성도는 감소하였으나 자체 확산계수와 분자내 운동은 증가하는 현상를 보여주었다. 이들 실험을 바탕으로 oleic acid는 에탄올 뿐 아니라 cholesterol과도 착물을 형성하고 또 착물이 이뤄지는 메카니즘에 대해서도 이해할 수 있었다. 이들 착물 형성과 oleic acid 이합체로 이루어진 집합체의 성질 조사를 바탕으로 oleic acid의 분자분절 운동에 대한 cholesterol 의 영향을 알 수 있었다.

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.

식품첨가물등급의 protease를 이용하여 쌀가루로부터 쌀 전분을 분리하는 효소적 쌀전분 분리·정제법을 구축하기 위해 protease의 반응시간, 반응온도와 농도를 요인으로 하여 변형된 23 완전요인설계법에 따라 protease 반응조건들을 설계하고 이에 따른 쌀전분들의 수율을 조사하였다. 설계된 반응조건들에 따라 제조된 쌀전분들의 수율들에 기초한 반응표면분석을 통해 쌀전분 수율에 대한 protease 반응조건들의 영향을 조사하였다. 또한 효소적 분리·정제법에 의한 쌀전분들의 상업적 활용도를 평가하기 위해 알칼리침지법에 의해 제조된 쌀전분(대조군)과 물리화학적 특성을 대해 비교 분석하였다. Protease를 이용한 효소적 분리· 정제법에 의한 쌀전분들의 수율은 대조군보다 낮았지만 그 상대적 순도는 높은 수준을 나타내었다. Protease에 미량 함유되어 있는 amylase 계통의 효소들에 의한 쌀전분의 부분적인 손상이 예상됨에도 1.5% protease를 이용하여 15℃에서 24시간 동안 처리하여 제조된 쌀전분(RST2)의 아밀로오스 함량은 대조군의 것과 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 용해도는 효소적 분리·정제법에 의한 쌀전분들이 대조군보다 유의적으로 높은 수준을 나타내었다. 팽윤력은 RST2와 0.5% protease를 이용하여 15℃에서 24시간 동안 처리하여 제조된 쌀전분(RST3)이 대조군과 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 호화온도는 대조군에 비해 효소적 분리 ·정제법에 의한 쌀전분들이 높은 수준을 나타내었으나 호화엔탈피는 유의적으로 낮은 수준이었다. 페이스팅 점도는 대조군에 비해 효소적 분리·정제법에 의한 쌀전분들이 모든 온도프로파일에 있어 낮은 수준을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과들은 효소적 분리·정제법에 사용된 protease에 미량 함유되어 있는 amylase 계통의 효소들에 의한 쌀전분의 부분적인 손상과 protease 처리하는 동안 쌀전분에 있어 annealing이 진행된 결과인 것으로 생각된다. 그럼에도 본 연구에서 효소적 분리·정제법에 의해 제조된 쌀전분들은 높은 고형분 함량을 요구하며, 페이스트의 겔화 또는 노화의 진행이 지연되는 특성을 가공식품의 원료로 적합한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 효소적 분리·정제법에 의한 쌀전분들은 기존의 알칼리 침지법에 의한 쌀전분과는 다른 특성을 보유한 쌀전분 소재로서 활용가능성이 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 효소적 분리·정제법은 알칼리 침지법에 비해 쌀전분의 제조 시간을 단축할 수 있으며, 고농도의 염용액을 배출하지 않아 경제적인 방법인 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 팽화스낵에 기능성 및 영양적으로 뛰어난 인삼의 활용도를 높이고자 각 조건별로 팽화스낵을 제조해 품질특성을 조사하였다. 수분함량(1, 4, 7, 10%)을 달리하여 pellet을 제조하고, 백미와 혼합한 뒤 팽화온도(180-220℃)를 달리하여 스낵을 제조하였다. 팽화스낵 제조 시, pellet의 수분함량과 팽화온도가 낮을수록 팽화가 잘 일어나지 않아 딱딱한 질감과 온전하지 않은 모양으로 제조되었다. 색도에서는 pellet의 수분함량과 팽화온도가 높을수록 명도, 적색도, 비체적은 증가하는 경향을 나타내었지만, 조직감에서는 감소하였다. 이에 따라 인삼을 이용한 팽화스낵 제조 시에는 적절한 수분함량과 팽화온도가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

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.
