단립종 100%, 장립종 100%, 단립종 50%와 팽화미분 50% 그리고 장립종 50%와 팽화미분 50%로 제조한 탁주의 pH, 산도, 단백질, 색도, 환원당, 총당, 알코올 그리고 관능성질을 조사하였다. 모든 시료의 pH는 발효 초기에 급격히 감소한 후 장립종 100%를 제외하고 서서히 상승하였다. 발효 2일 후 단립종은 장립종보다 그리고 팽화미분은 순 쌀보다 같거나 높았다(p < 0.05). 산도는 발효 시간 지낼수록 모든 시료에서 증가하였다. 장립종 100%는 단립종 100%보다 3일부터 그리고 장립종 50%는 단립종 50%보다 4일부터 높았다(p < 0.05). 모든 시료의 단백질은 1일에 증가한 후 감소하였고 팽화미분은 순 쌀과 같거나 높았다(p < 0.05). L값은 모든 시료에서 발효 초기에 증가한 후 감소하였다. 발효 4일부터 단립종은 장립종보다 그리고 3일부터 팽화미분은 순 쌀보다 L값이 낮았다. 담금 직후부터 순 쌀의 a값은 점점 감소하였고 팽화미분은 3일 때까지 증가하다가 감소하였다. 모든 시료의 b값은 발효 2와 3일에 최고값을 보인 후(p < 0.05) 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 담금 직후 팽화미분은 순 쌀보다 환원당이 훨씬 높았다. 순 쌀은 발효 1일에 증가한 후 감소하였고 팽화미분은 급격히 감소하였다. 총당은 환원당과 유사하였다. 알코올은 발효 2일까지 모든 시료에서 급격히 증가하였고 단립종은 장립종보다 그리고 팽화미분은 순 쌀보다 항상 높았다(p < 0.05). 단립종 100%와 장립종 100%는 1% 수준에서 유의적인 차이가 있었지만 선호도는 차이가 없었다. 단립종 50%와 장립종 50%는 유의적으로 차이가 없었다.

본 연구는 염화칼륨과 염화마그네슘의 첨가를 통한 염화나트륨의 대체가 소시지의 품질 특성에 미칠 수 있는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 CTL(1.5% 염화나트륨), KCL(0.9% 염화나트륨 + 0.6% 염화칼륨), MCL(0.9% 염화나트륨 + 0.6% 염화마그네슘), KML(0.9% 염화나트륨 + 0.3% 염화칼륨 + 0.3% 염화마 그네슘) 그리고 PST(1.5% Pansalt)로 처리하며 제조한 소시지를 4 ℃에서 30일간 저장하며 분석하였다. 명도를 나타내는 CIE L*과 적색도를 나타내는 CIE a*는 CTL에서 유의적으로 낮았으나 MgCl2를 첨가한 처리구인 MCL과 KML에서는 높은 CIE L*과 a*를 나타내었다(p<0.05). pH는 저장 기간 중 CTL에서 다 소 높게 나타난 반면 MgCl2를 첨가한 처리구에서는 두 처리구간 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다 (p>0.05). 수분함량은 저장초기 KML에서 다소 높게 나타난 반면 조지방, 보수력, 경도 그리고 응집성에 서는 MCL에서 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 황색도를 나타내는 CIE b*는 Pansalt를 첨가한 PST에서 다른 처 리구들에 비해 낮게 나타났으나 검성과 씹힘성은 MgCl2을 첨가한 MCL과 KML 처리구에서 다소 높게 나 타났다(p<0.05). 따라서, 결과적으로 KCl을 이용한 NaCl의 일부 대체는 소시지의 조직적 측면에서는 많 은 개선이 있었으나 육색에서는 다소 기대에 미치지 못하는 결과를 나타내는 것으로 조사되었다. 그러나 NaCl을 MgCl2로 대체한 소시지에서는 MgCl2의 함량 조절을 통한 MgCl2 특유의 쓴맛을 개선할 수만 있 다면, 기존 제품 대비 육색과 조직감이 상당히 개선되면서도 Na의 함량 또한 저감시킬 수 있는 소시지의 생산이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of soybean varieties on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics tofu. Five varieties of soybeans(Daewon, Jinpoung, Hwanggum, Jinmi, and Manni) were selected for these experiments. Proximate composition and total phenolic acids in the soybeans, and the moisture, turbidity, lightness, yield rate, texture characteristics, and sensory characteristics of the tofu were measured. The Hwanggum soybeans had the highest levels of crude lipid and crude ash. There was a significant difference in the moisture and yield rate of the tofu(p<0.05). The crude protein and crude lipid contents of the soybeans affected the hardness and springiness of the tofu. In sensory evaluations, significant differences(p<0.05) were shown in taste, texture, and overall acceptability depending on the tofu by soybean variety. Therefore, one should consider soybean varieties when manufacturing tofu.

MIt is important to estimate odor impact from the emission sources located in the industrial complex to near-by residential area. To understand modeling capacity in describing the odor dispersion, we examined an accuracy of odor modeling comparing with concentric measurements of sensory odors from the industrial complex. The odor measurements were carried out 6 times at 10 sites along the concentric circles and they were compared with odor modeling results using CALMET and CALPUFF. Although there are some discrepancies between the modeled and measured odor intensities, the model could depict key characteristics of odor dispersion patterns. The uncertainties in emission data and meteorology were main causes of the discrepancies. The odor modeling procedure developed in this study can be used in odor forecasting system and odor impact assessment. In order to improve the accuracy of odor modeling, the improvement of odor emission data and systematic monitoring of the odor using sensor network are necessary in future.

We evaluated the sensory characteristics of Gangjung base obtained from various manufacturers, using a sensory descriptive analysis. Significant differences were observed for all sensory attributes of Gangjung samples with the exception of 'toothpacking'. Sample A showed high intensities for 'external color', 'external roughness', 'sweetness', 'toasted soybean powder flavor', 'crispness', 'fracturability', 'oiliness', and 'loose particles,' whereas it had low intensities for 'rice flour flavor', 'hardness', and 'toughness' compared to those of other samples. Sample B had more 'sourness', 'butyric acid flavor', 'fermented rice flavor', and 'degree of melting' but lower 'air cell size', 'fracturability', and 'flake roughness'. Sample C showed high intensities for 'expansion', 'hardness', 'crispness', and 'flake roughness', whereas sample D showed low intensities for 'expansion' and 'sourness'. These results indicate that Gangjung base samples are markedly different depending on the manufacturer.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of sugar-snap cookies containing various types and mixture ratios of sugar. The characteristics of sugar-snap cookies prepared with fructose, high-fructose corn syrup and invert sugar were examined through physical properties measurement and sensory evaluation. Results of the investigation suggest significant differences in the cookies made with various sugars. High-fructose corn syrup was better than others for making sugar-snap cookies. The quality of cookies baked with high-fructose corn syrup was improved compared to cookies baked with invert sugar or fructose. Varying the formula, with high-fructose corn syrup had little or no effect on the quality of the final product. Using different quantities of invert sugar and high-fructose corn syrup significantly affected the physical properties of the cookies. Sugar-snap cookies containing invert sugar had an extremely positive effect.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the optimum ratio of coffee waste to chocolate for the preparation and investigation of the sensory characteristics of coffee chocolates. Color values(L-value, redness, and yellowness), total flavonoids, radical scavenging activity, and sensory characteristics of coffee chocolates made with various concentrations of additives were measured. The coffee waste powders were added at weight percentages of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4%. As the ratio of coffee powder to chocolate increased, total flavonoid content and radical scavenging activity increased. In sensory evaluation, significant differences(p<0.05) were shown in taste, bitterness, texture, and overall acceptability depending on the amount of coffee waste powder added. The optimal ratio for sensory acceptability of coffee chocolate was 2% added coffee waste powder.

The objective of this study was to develop functional rice coated with yacon roots extracts and to evaluate the antioxidant properties and physiological activity of rice coated with yacon extract. The washed rice was coated by spraying yacon extract at 10, 20, 30, and 40 °Brix and dried at room temperature. The moisture contents, color changes, antioxidant properties as total polyphenolics and DPPH radical scavenging activity and instrumental texture property and sensory evaluation change in the yacon root extracts coated rice and uncoated cooked rice were observed during 3 days of storage. Increasing the coating concentration was associated with lower color values(L value) and moisture contents. Total phenolics and DPPH radical scavenging properties generally increased in the cooked rice coated with yacon root extract more than the control (non-coated rice). However, D-20(20 °Brix of the yacon root concentration) resulted in better textural properties and sensory overall acceptability in cooked rice on 0 and 3 storage days. It was concluded that the optimum coating ration of rice and added functional yacon rice were 20 °Brix and 7% respectively, in proportion to the total weight of raw rice.

Changes in major volatile odor components (VOC) and sensory properties of kimchi during ripening for 4 days were investigated, and major VOCs of the raw materials of kimchi were also analyzed. Seven of eight major VOCs of kimchi originated mainly from garlic, while one originated from ginger. During 4 days of kimchi ripening, the amount of ethanol, which was substantially higher than that of other VOCs, increased continuously but decreased slightly on the fourth day. The amount of diallyl disulfide decreased during ripening, while that of allyl mercaptan decreased on the first day and increased slightly thereafter. The amount of methyl allyl sulfide, diallyl sulfide, and methyl trisulfide increased continuously during ripening, while that of dimethyl disulfide and methyl propyl disulfide increased until the second day and decreased thereafter. Scores of overall acceptability, taste, and odor for kimchi ripened for 2 days were significantly higher than those of other samples (p<0.05). The correlation between scores of overall acceptability and the amount of dimethyl disulfide or methyl propyl disulfide was higher than that of other VOCs.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of various kinds of commercial salts, including sun-dried (Korea), purified, and traditional salts on the chemical and sensory properties and growth of microorganisms involved in kimchi fermentation. Kimchi was prepared by salting in 10% NaCl solution for 2 hours followed by addition of other spices and fermentation at 20℃. The decreases in pH suggested that kimchi fermentation can be classified into 3 steps: initial, intermediate, and final stages. In texture analysis, the hardness and fracturability of traditional salt kimchi were higher than those of regular kimchi. From the sensory evaluation test for kimchi, sensory scores were high for traditional salt addition, especially taste, overall preference and texture. Among various microorganisms related to kimchi fermentation, the growth of Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum, Pichia membranaefaciens and Escherichia coli were examined. Based on the conditions of kimchi fermentation, a 2% and 5% concentration of each salt were studied. Also, the conditions of the cultures at 37℃ were examined. There was no considerable difference in the growth of Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum, Escherichia coli in the different kinds of salts. However, the growth of Pichia membranaefaciens was strongly inhibited by a 5% concentration of traditional salt during incubation at 37℃.

To establish a globalization strategy for Korean food, it is important to ascertain foreign consumer's taste preferences and to evaluate their sensory perceptions of Korean food. In concert with previous studies, the most preferred food were Bulgogi and Galbi. However, respondents showed somewhat different preferences for other foods. Chinese and other Asian participants preferred Galbitang and Samgyetang, while Japanese participants preferred Pajeon, Galbitang and Japchae, and Western participants preferred Galbitang, Mandu and Bibimbap. The most preferred condiment was hot pepper paste (the representative condiment of Korea) and the least preferred one was ginger. Hot pepper paste was preferred most by Japanese participants, while Chinese participants tended not to prefer ginger and other Asian participants excepting those from China and Japan disliked vinegar most. Foreign consumers tended to consider Korean food as sweet, salty and very hot. Chinese participants considered Korean food to be 'plain' and 'light and washy' in taste, while Japanese participants considered Korean food to be 'greasy' and 'thick and sticky'. Chinese participants considered typical servings to be inadequate, while Japanese participants considered the servings as excessive.

Ultraviolet curable coating solution was prepared with poly(ethylene glycol) acrylate oligomer and various mono and multi-functional acrylate monomers. The optical properties of UV cured coating layer on PET film with acrylate coating solution containing metal oxides, such as fumed silica and alumina, were also investigated to reduce light reflection on films. Poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate which has 575 of average molecular weight was used as oligomer acrylate, and pentaerythritol triacrylate and dipentaerythritolpenta-/hexa acrylate were used as multi-functional acrylate monomers. Also, butyl acrylate was used to improve the adhesion as well as to reduce glass transition temperature to give a better flexability. 1-hydroxy cyclohexyl phenyl ketone was used as photoinitiator. We found out the metal oxides in acrylate coating solution showed a homogeneous dispersion from energy dispersive spectroscopy data. Transmittance and light reflection of coated PET film was measured with UV/vis spectrometer and gloss meter, respectively. When 1.00 g of both metal oxides was added into coating solution, the transmittance and the glossiness were reduced from 90% to 30% and from 190 GU to 35 GU, respectively. However, adding up to 1.00 g of the metal oxide into coating solution did not affect on the hardness of coating layer and adhesion between coated layer and PET film. Conclusively, we can control transmittance and light reflection of coated film by adjusting the amounts of metal oxide in coating solution.

This study examined the effects of added amounts of shrimp powder on the physical and sensory properties of Jook for elderly foodservice operation. According to the amylograph data, the composite shrimp flour-wheat flour samples increased the gelatinization temperature, with increasing shrimp-flour content; moreover, initial viscosity at 95℃, viscosity at 95℃ after 15 minutes, and maximum viscosity were reduced. As the level of shrimp powder in samples increased, L-values decreased, and a-values and b-values increased. In addition, the Jook had higher viscosity and lower spreadability values as the amount of shrimp powder increased. Sensory characteristics, such as nutty taste, color, viscosity, and overall preference increased significantly with the addition of shrimp powder. In conclusion, to enhance the quality of Jook, a 3% addition of shrimp powder would be the most beneficial.
