The study results regarding the ingredient differences, sensory characteristics, purchasing type, usage and improvement direction for home-made traditional doenjang and factory produced commercial doenjang are as follows. The L-value indicates that home-made traditional doenjang has a higher value in average than the factory produce done, and the a-value indicates the opposite. Home-made traditional doenjang had higher water content than commercial doenjang ; however the pH values of commercial doenjang and home-made were 5.34 and 5.32 respectively, which was very similar. Factory produced commercial doenjang showed higher protein content than the home-made traditional doenjang. Regarding the correlation between ingredients, there was a significantly negative relationship between the L-value and a-value but a significantly positive relationship between the L-value and b-value. There were no significant relationship with water content, pH and protein content. For the color and taste, which are the sensory characteristics, commercial doenjang showed higher value than the traditional doenjang, but for smell, the values were similar. Regarding grittiness, the factory produced commercial doenjang had bigger particles than the traditional doenjang. Preference was a bit higher in the traditional doenjang. Of the 380 study subjects, most were from 40 to 49 years old (65.5%), and the most family type were nuclear families which was a total of 400 people (69%). Moreover, the most residential type was apartment which was 355people (61.2%), and for the monthly income, more than 2,510,000won was 48.3%. For the educational background, college education was 304 people (52.4%), and high school education was 199 people, 34.3%. In the usage, most of the people eat doenjang more than once a week, and usually their parents make the doenjang. People used both commercial doenjang and home-made traditional doenjang >home-made only >factory produced commercial doenjang only in that order. The reasons for using the home-made traditional doenjang aredelicate taste and flavor>more nutritious> anti-cancer ingredients in that order. The reason they use the factory produced commercial doenjang is because they don't know how to make it at home. The things that needed to be improved in the home-made traditional doenjang are bad smell> entire quality> flavor> color in order, indicating that studies for reducing bad smell are required. The things that needed to be improved in the factory produced commercial doenjang are taste & flavor> entire quality>bad smell> color in that order, indicating that people are more concern about it tasting like home-made than the smell. From the above results, we can see that better functional doenjang should be developed for family health and to increase the consumption of the doenjang, which has good functional psychological activities, also more various types of foods that use doenjang and scientific studies to reduce the home-made doenjang smell should be continuously studied. Moreover, studies on how to make the factory produced commercial doenjang taste more like traditional doenjang should be performed.

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of the green tea dasik varying the added value of oligosaccharide were investigated and the products were surveyed by elementary school students regarding the acceptability. Protein and ash contents were significantly higher and fat contents were significanlty lower in the samples with oligosaccharides compared to those in commercial ones(p<0.05). Commercial samples had significantly higher values in all of the textural characteristics using textural analyzer compared to those of the developed dasik sample groups. In analytical sensory evaluation, varying the amount of oligosaccharide, commercial samples had significantly higher values of sweetness, hardness, and cohesiveness and lower values of savory aroma and falvor compared to those of developed dasik(p<0.05). Savory aroma and flavor were highly negatively correlated with textural hardness, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, and cohesiveness(p<0.01), while sensory sweetness and hardness were significantly positively correlated with textural springiness(p<0.05), chewiness, gumminess, and cohesiveness(p<0.01). When surveying elementary school students regarding the acceptability of green tea dasik and commercial samples, green tea dasik 2 was the most preferred with significance in color. Regarding aroma, green tea dasik 1 received the highest acceptability (p<0.05). In the flavor, both dasik 1 and 2 received higher score than those of the commercial dasik. In overall acceptability, both green tea dasik 1 and 2 were preferred to the commercially sold ones with significance(p<0.05).

In this study, we attempted to evaluate the relationship between air dilution sensory test and instrumental detection method for samples containing various odorous compounds. For the purpose of our comparative study, the analysis of malodor compounds was made using a total of 70 samples collected from three industrial sectors which include: Food & beverage, Waste treatment and cleaning, and Miscellaneous facilities. The results of instrumental analyses converted into three different odor indices (the odor concentration (OC), odor quotient (OQ), and odor intensity (OI)) were used to statistically sort out individual odorous components with the major impact. The results of multiple regression analysis between air dilution ratio value and instrumental odor concentration (of individual 12 compounds) indicate that butyraldehyde, CH₃SH, NH₃, and H₂S are the major odorous compounds that contribute most significantly to odor strength for the sample types investigated in this study.

This study was conducted to preserve the quality of Gangjung (Traditional Korean cookies) during storage with the addition of sorbitol in Gangjung dough. Sorbitol was added with different levels (0, 1.5, 3%) in the Gangjung dough and the Gangjung samples were stored for different periods (1, 16, and 31 days). Compared to the control group, the Gangjung samples with sorbitol groups had higher moisture content, expansion ratio, and ceil size. As the storage was extended, peroxide values, hardness, fracturability, chewiness and stickiness to teeth were increased, while cohesiveness, moistness, and degree of melting were decreased. From the PCA in the sensory analysis, Gangjung with addition of 3% sorbitol stored for 1, 16, and 31 days showed high levels in moistness, cohesiveness, degree of expansion, cell size, and degree of melting, whiie Gangjung in control group stored for 16 and 31 days showed high levels in fracturability, heated oil flavor, chewiness, and stickiness to teeth. The moisture content of Gangjung was significantly increased as the level of sorbitol was increased. The changes of physicochemical and sensory characteristics by storage were increased in control groups the most, 1.5% sorbitol groups the next, and 3% sorbitol groups the least. Therefore, the sorbitol added groups could be delayed in the quality deterioration during storage, especially in the texture, and could be increased in the preservation of Gangjung.

This study is based on the utilization of pine mushroom for processing products by development of pine mushroom Jung-Gwa. The results were summarized as follows: Pine mushroom Jung-Gwa were prepared with four different amounts (20, 30, 40, 50%) of honey. Pine mushroom Jung-Gwa color value was the highest by 20% soaking honey-water product and 40% soaking honey-water product was the lowest. Strength and hardness of 20% soaking honey-water product was the highest. Appearance to product of 50% soaking honey-water was the highest preference by all age of except 20's. The honey content of more and more external appearance preference was became higher. Product of 40% soaking honey-water was best by flavor of pine mushroom Jung-Gwa. A sugary tastes comparison 50% soaking honey water to 40% soaking honey water was not distinction. The texture was appeared a statistically significant difference by products of 20%, 30% soaking honey-water. Product of 20% soaking honey-water was favorite in 20's and product of 30% soaking honey-water was favorite in 30's. In overall preference test for pine mushroom Jung-Gwa of 40% soaking honey water was preferred by all age. Oligosaccharide helped geriatric diseases and cheaper. Thus this study used oligosaccharide but the result was not a statistically significant difference of pine mushroom Jung-Gwa products quality by comparison honey-water to oligosaccharide. Therefore oligosaccharide utilization products was thought worth a lot more by processing price and functional.

Four dietary fiber enriched menus for the aged were developed and physicochemical were analyzed. Major foods enriching the dietary fiber were as following; kimchi & bean sprouts soup and sweet potato for menu 1, chamcheunamul and grape for menu 2, mushroom and kimchi for menu 3, dried radish leaves and green pepper for menu 4. One portion of calorie, carbohydrate, protein and fats for the aged were calculated as 567 kcal, 92.8 g, 21.3 g and 12.6 g, respectively based on recommended daily allowances for adults. Dietary fiber content increased in the menus 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 17.27%, 20.84%, 16.91%, and 23.64%, respectively. The menu 1 had significantly the highest acceptance scores among the rice, soups, side dishes and overall desirability with the acceptance sores of 4.77, 4.58, 4.62 and 4.69, respectively(p<0.05). Female showed significantly the higher acceptance scores of all of the enriched fiber menu than those of male. Moisture contents of the boiled rice with barely in menu 3 had significantly the highest value of all(p<0.05) and the side dishes of all menus did not show any significant differences at p<0.05. The pH value of boiled rice with barely in menu 3 was significantly the highest and menu 1 of kimchi & bean sprouts soup had significantly the lowest pH values(p<0.05). Hunter L value was significantly the highest in boiled rice with barley. The dietary fiber enriched menus were successfully developed for application and standardization in the meal service planning for the aged as one of trials of basic data collection.

This study examined the consumptive perceptions of herb added breads and cookies with 436 male and 444 female university students. Also this study tested sensory preference of baguette. The results of this study were as follows: First, the intention rate of herb added breads and cookies were high with 85.5% (N=752) and female was higher with 89.6% than male with 81.2%. In terms of consumption prospect, 48.0% of them responded with increasing, 45.6% of them responded quite positively with 'average'. The 4.4% of them responded with decreasing. There was significant difference about consumption between male and female. Second, 45.8% of them responded herb added breads and cookies consumption rate will be increased due to consumers are seeking new tastes. The 59.0% of them responded consumption rate will be decreased due to they are not familiar with new taste. Third, in terms of sensory preference of rosemary added baguette, appearance, flavor, taste, overall acceptability was high with 2% added group. The texture was high with 1% added group. The appearance and flavor preference of mint added baguette breads was high with 1% added group. The taste, texture, and overall acceptability was high with control group. Fourth, while male preferred rosemary 1% on appearance, flavor, taste, texture, overall acceptability, female preferred rosemary 2% on appearance, flavor, taste, overall acceptability. Both of them evaluated mint 4% as the least preferred.

In this study, the characteristics of panel members with various factors on the odor judgement using a air dilution olfactory method were investigated. The frequency distribution curves of Dev(D/Ttotal) and Dev(D/T₃) were found to be a normal distribution, but it appears that values around median on the distribution curve of Dev(D/T₃) were relatively sparse. Factors of outlier deviate from a confidence interval of 99% were found to be male ＜ female, smoker ＜ non-smoker, experience ＜ non-experience, and bad ＜ common state of health. Data obtained from female panel members appears high positive(+) deviation on the odor judgement.

Tarakjuk with different amylose content was made up using roasted rice flours that consisted of the highest enzyme-resistant starch (RS), while differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was also utilized to measure the gelatinization temperature of these roasted rice flours in order to establish cooking temperature of tarakjuk. The following qualities of tarakjuk with different amylose content were studied: color, viscosity, spreadability, starch fractions involving total starch (TS), rapidly digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS) and RS, in vitro starch digestibility (IVSD) and sensory properties. During experimentation, it was found that as the amylose content of the rice flour decreased, the L value of tarakjuk decreased, whereas a value increased significantly (p〈0.05). Also, while viscosity showed to increase significantly (p〈0.05), on the opposite end, the property of spreadability decreased. TS ranged from 15.95~17.31%, RDS 9.36~10.16%, SDS 5.46~6.91% and RS 0.33~1.07%, on a dry basis. Although the amylose content of rice flours decreased, IVSD increased, however showing no significant difference. When testing the sensory properties of tarakjuk, color and viscosity increased, whereas clumpiness decreased. Ilpum tarakjuk showed the highest score for nutty taste and overall acceptance levels. In fact a high correlation was shown between nutty taste and overall acceptance level (p〈0.01), which leads one to believe that nutty taste is a prime factor that greatly influences overall acceptance. Furthermore, viscosity was positively correlated with both a and b values, however negatively correlated with L value (p〈0.05). Moreover, roasted nutty taste and overall acceptance were positively correlated with a value (p〈0.05), respectively. In conclusion, the above results suggest that tarakjuk could be made by choosing the appropriate rice flour based on the nutritional or sensory purpose.

Jeolpyon rice cake was made using buckwheat flour and measured its texture, color and sensory properties as follows. According to the amylograph guage test, rice flour was the highest in its initial pasting temperature 82.5℃. With 5% addition of buckwheat flour, it came to be 81.0℃ and became 79.5℃ at 10%, and 78.0℃ at 15%, which was lower than the control. And its maximum temperature at peak viscosity showed at 87℃ and it showed no difference in temperature according to the amount of buckwheat flour. The maximum value (peak point) was 690 BU in control and it increased following to the added amount of buckwheat flour, 710 BU in adding buckwheat flour 10% and 740 BU in 15% of buckwheat flour. In relating to the changes of texture, it became hard by the added amount of buckwheat flour because of decreasing cohesiveness and springiness, but increasing gumminess and brittleness. The hardness increased by adding with buckwheat flour through the freeze preserving period. But adding buckwheat flour of 10% decreased the hardness. Regarding the color value, lightness decreased by the adding buckwheat flour, but a and b value increased. As a result of the sensory analysis about Jeolpyon prepared with buckwheat flour, the most favoured ratio of buckwheat flour for color and preference was at 10%. In case of 15%, it was a little dark so it was not desirable. Based on the above test, the best combination ratio of buckwheat for Jeolpyon was 10%. And Jeolpyon can be easily made at home as well as mass production due to relatively simple making procedure.
