This study was conducted to evaluate the effect on quality characteristics of grass-fed cow’s milk (GM) and conventional feed-fed cow’s milk (CM) with various conditions of non-thermal high-pressure processing (HPP) sterilization process. The sterilized GM and CM stored at 5℃ and 10℃ for 14 days and their quality characteristics during storage was evaluated. The pH and titratable acidity changes of HPP sterilized milk were maintained acceptable level 6.7-6.8, 0.14-0.16%, respectively. HPP sterilization was efficient in the reduction of total bacterial population to decrease the level of 4-7 Log CFU/ml compare to those of unsterilized control milk, and coliform bacteria was not detected in the HPP sterilized milk. Non-thermal HPP sterilization processing was not affected milk fatty acid composition compare to those of low temperature long time process (LTLT) sterilized milk. GM has lower ratio of n-3:n-6 unsaturated fatty acid level than those of CM. In the sensory evaluation of GM and commercial milk products, overall consumer acceptance of HPP sterilized GM was higher than CM and LTLT commercial product. In conclusion, the effects of HPP was comparable with conventional LTLT sterilization process to control undesirable microorganism in the milk products with minumal nutritional and chemical changes.

가공조건 차이에 따른 한방차의 성분변화를 분석한 결과, 팽화공정 처리한 것은 볶음공정을 한 것보다 조회분, 수분, 조단백질, 고형분 용출율이 증가하였으며 조지방은 소폭 감소하였다. 벤조피렌 [B(α)P]함량은 0.35 ppb에서 0.18 ppb로 크게 감소하였다. 전체적으로 심한 열처리 과정이 없는데도 불구하고 B(α)P 이 검출된 이유는 식품 중 B(α)P 는 주로 음식을 조리, 가공할 때 식품의 주성분인 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방 등이 열분해 되어 생성되기 때문이다. 한방차에서 맛, 향, 색상 모두 큰 차이를 보이지 않으나 다소 텁텁한 느낌이 강하고, 시큼한 맛이 강하여 선호도를 떨어뜨리는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal mixing conditions of soybean oil and bread crumbs mixture for pork patty. The experiment was designed according to the central composite design of response surface methodology. There were ten experimental points, including two replicates for soybean oil and bread crumbs. The physicochemical and mechanical analyses of each sample, including pH, cooking loss, thickness increase, moisture content, lightness, hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, chewiness, and gumminess showed significant differences (p<0.05). The results of sensory evaluation showed significant differences in tenderness, juiciness, and overall quality (p<0.05). The optimum formulation calculated by numerical and graphical method was 13.61 g of soybean oil and 6.35 g of bread crumbs. The results obtained in this study will be useful to the meat industry, which tends to decrease the saturated fatty acid content with a concomitant enrichment in the unsaturated fatty acids content.

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal amounts and mixing condition of skim milk powder (A), and roselle (B) for the production of yogurt prepared with roselle. The experiment was designed according to the central composite design for estimating the response surface method, which yielded ten experimental points, including two replicates for the skim milk powder and roselle. The physicochemical and mechanical analysis of each sample, including pH (P<0.001), titratable acidity (P<0.001), color (P<0.05), viscosity (P<0.001), showed significant differences. Antioxidant properties (total phenolic content, DPPH free radical scavenging activity) and viable cell counts of lactic acid were significantly different (P<0.05). The sensory measurements were significantly different in color, flavor, sourness, texture, and overall quality (P<0.05). The optimal formulation, calculated by numerical and graphical methods, was 7.82 g of skim milk powder and 2.09 g of roselle. From findings of this study, the roselle may be used in yogurt and can be applied for other food industries.

This study was performed in order to determine the processing conditions (pre-drying at room temperature for 0 or 30 min, frying at 160℃ for 1 min or at 180℃ for 40 sec, and soaking for 0～24 h) of Sasambeong recorded in the “Sumunsasul”. The Sasambeong was evaluated for crude lipid content, hardness, Hunter’s color values, and sensory characteristics. After pre-drying at room temperature for 30 min, the crude lipid contents and hardness of Sasambeong were significantly increased. In addition, the crude lipid content and hardness of Sasambeong did not differ significantly according to the frying conditions. After pre-drying, the sensory characteristics of Sasambeong showed more improvement. The crude lipid content, hardness, Hunter’s color values, and sensory characteristics of Sasambeong, which were prepared according to different soaking times (0, 6, 12, or 24 hr) were investigated. As soaking time increased, the crude lipid content and hardness of Sasambeong decreased with a range of 25.43～24.31% and 525.90～388.98 g, respectively. The sensory characteristics of Sasambeong showed no significant difference according to the soaking time. Overall, we think that the best processing conditions of Sasambeong were pre-drying at room temperature for 30 min and then frying at 160℃ for 1 min.

This study was conducted to investigate optimum processing procedure of fresh-cut button mushrooms. The experiments were done with different processing parameters including washing method, washing time, sanitation, and cutting time. Fresh mushrooms were washed by swirling water (SW), lift type-immersion washing (LIW), or combined LIW and water spray (LI+WS). Mushroom samples were washed by LIW for 0, 1, 3, and 5 minutes separately. Mushrooms were sanitized with 0, 50, or 100 ㎕L-1 chlorine solution (pH 7) for 60 seconds. Mushrooms were sliced at different times (before washing, after washing, or after drying). The combined washing treatment, LIW+WS was effective in maintaining better appearance and higher Lightness color value among treatments. Optimum washing time to remove foreign materials and maintain color was 3 minutes when mushrooms were washed by LIW. Samples sanitized with 50 ㎕L-1 chlorine reduced initial aerobic bacterial population and had only slight residual chlorine odor. Fresh-cut mushrooms sliced after washing had the lowest loss among samples. The optimized washing, sanitation, and cutting time parameters can be used for sequential processing of fresh-cut button mushrooms.

활성 글루텐 첨가가 쌀베이글의 품질 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 쌀가루에 글루텐 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 보수력은 증가한 반면, 알칼리수 흡수율은 감소하였다. Pelshenke값과 침전가는 글루텐의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라서 유의적으로 증가는 하였으나 강력분의 Pelshenke값과 침전가에는 미치지 못하였다. 최고점도와 setback 및 peak height와 peak width는 글루텐의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라서 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 글루텐을 23% 첨가할 경우 베이글의 부피는 글루텐 11% 첨가 후와 비교할 때 2배 이상 증가하였으며 글루텐의 첨가량이 증가할수록 베이글의 경도, 검성 및 씹힘성은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 베이글의 비용적과 물 흡수력, Pelshenke값 및 침전가와는 고도의 정의 상관(r =0.962, r =0.964, r =0.966)을 나타내었다.

Quality characteristics of dasik were studied with varied the levels of rice grain particle size and green tea powder and compared them with commercially sold dasik. Among the samples with the same number of grinding times, the sample groups with the higher amount of green tea showed significantly the less mosture content(p<0.05). Hardness was higher in the samples containing higher amount of green tea among the ones with the same grain size (p<0.05). The M13G0.5 was evaluated to have the highest savory aroma with significance (p<0.05), and C1 to have the highest sweetness by sensory analysis. The developed dasik samples with lower rice grain particle size had significantly lower adhesiveness, chewiness, gumminess, and cohesiveness compared to those of commercial sample groups. In sensory tests, the compared groups showed significantly the higher savory aroma and flavor and very lower hardness when compared to those of commercial sample groups. With the results above, dasik with with varied the levels of rice grain particle size and green tea powder were developed with improved qualities compared to those of commercially sold dasik.

The present paper is a parameter study of zinc flake production using a Simoloyer CM01 horizontal high energy rotary ball mill. The manufactured flakes have a dimension in thickness (t) < 1μm and diameters (d) 5-100 μm, consequently a ratio d/t up to 200. The flake geometry is mainly controlled by the variation of process parameters such as rotary speed of the rotor, ratio of powder/ball charge, load ratio of the system, process temperature, operating model and the quantity of process control agent (PCA). The Zn flakes were characterized by SEM, tap densitometry, laser diffraction and water coverage measurement.

The development of Micro MIM as a new manufacturing process for metallic micro parts made of advanced functional materials has been the subject of considerable research over the last years. This paper addresses important quality aspects on processing of new materials by Micro-MIM. Three examples of new functional materials that can be processed are reviewed in this paper. The first example is two-component-Micro-MIM to obtain multi-functional devices. A micro positioning encoder consisting of a magnetic / non-magnetic material combination is presented. The second issue is series production of the replicate of the smallest human bone in the ear (stapes) from Titanium as an example of medical application. Quality assurance and reproducibility in terms of injection moulding parameters are addressed. In the third part, first results on the processing of the shape memory alloy NiTi by Micro-MIM are presented. Potential applications include biocompatible devices and transportation, for example automotive and aerospace. Processing routes and initial microstructures obtained are discussed.

To elucidate the effect of feeding differently prepared CaCO3 (industrially purified limestone) on laying performance, egg shell quality and serum calcium and phosphorus concentration, totally 288 layers (52 wks old), with 16 birds per replicate, 3 replicates per treatment for six treatments were employed into the series of CaCO3 treatments followed by feeding study. Six CaCO3 treatment and diet preparation includes mash diet with naturally sized CaCO3 (MNaC), mash diet with coarsely particled CaCO3 (MCoC), mash diet with finely particled CaCO3 (MFiC), pelleted diet with naturally sized CaCO3 (PNaC), pelleted diet with casein coated CaCO3 (PCnC) and pelleted diet with agar coated CaCO3 (PAgC). Hen day egg production of the bird fed both fine CaCO3 and pelleted CaCO3 were lower (p<0.05) than those fed other CaCO3 diets. Although there is no difference in average egg weight among treatments, the weight tended to be heavier once the egg production rate was low. There is no difference in feed conversion ratio (intake/egg) among treatments. Egg shell thickness was the highest (p<0.05) with feeding of MCoC whereas the value was the lowest with feeding of pelleted CaCO3 diet. Although there is some difference in egg shell thickness, the shell breaking forces were not significantly different among treatments. Calcium content of the shell was the lowest (p<0.05) in the egg from the layer fed finely particled CaCO3. Serum Ca content tended to decrease up to 8 hrs after feeding, then tended to increase afterwards. Although both agar and casein coating of CaCO3 tended to retard the recovering increase of blood Ca, the difference needed to be clarified with individual ovulation cycle. Serum P level was generally decreased as time passed after feeding. Crude protein utilizability was the highest with feeding of agar coated CaCO3 and that of fat was higher with hens fed pelleted diets. Both ash and P utilizabilities of diet with finely particled CaCO3 were the highest among treatment although there were no differences in both energy and Ca utilizabilities. Conclusively, both the particle size of CaCO3 and pelleting of CaCO3 diet could affect shell quality of the egg. The effect was more evident by the differentiation of CaCO3 particle size than any other processing such as pelleting and coating.

In order to establish the processing condition of rapid- and low salt-fermented liquefaction of anchovy (Engrulis japonica), effect of temperature on crude enzyme activity of anchovy viscera, pretreatment conditions, and the minimum content of adding NaCl were investigated. The minimum limitation of NaCl content for anchovy liquefaction was 10%. Sample A(water adding, heating, adding 10% NaCl): chopped whole anchovy adding 20% water and then heating for 9 hrs at 50℃ and then adding 10% NaCl and then fermented at room temperature(8-29℃) for 180 days. Sample B(water adding, heating, adding 13% NaCl): chopped whole anchovy adding 20% water and then heating for 9 hrs at 50℃ and then adding 13% NaCl and then fermented at room temperature for 180 days. Sample C(adding 13% NaCl): chopped whole anchovy and then adding 13% NaCl and then fermented at room temperature for 180 days. Sample D(adding 17% NaCl): whole anchovy adding 17% NaCl and then fermented at room temperature for 180 days. The content of free amino acids such as aspartic acid, serine and threonine fluctuated severely according to the pretreatment methods. Possibly they might be recommend quality indices of standardization for salt-fermented liquefaction of anchovy. As for the relation between fermentation period(X) and individual free amino acid(Y), five kinds of free amino acids such as glutamic acid, valine, glycine, lysine, and alanine showed highly significant in their coefficient of determination in most of samples. They might be recommend as quality indices for salt-fermented liquefaction of anchovy during fermentation. The difference of taste between products of the rapid- and low salt-fermented liquefaction and the traditional salt-fermented liquefaction were caused by their composition of the free amino acids ratios, in which were umami, sweet, and bitter taste in the extracts of anchovy during fermentation. The appropriate fermentation period of the sample A was shorten 30 days than the sample B and 60 days than the samples C and 90 days than the sample D in the processing of anchovy.

Bacteriological quality of beef carcass and distributions of pathogens in beef processing environments were investigated to improve the hygienic quality of fresh beef. Total bacterial contamination of carcass surface in slaughtering process and cutting board in cut-meat process showed 10^5-10^6CFU/㎠ and l0^5CFU/㎠ in summer, respectively. The viable bacterial count of cotton glove was similar to that of cutting board during and entire period of year. Microbial contamination of carcass surface, cutting board, cotton glove and deboned meat showed the highest in summer and the lowest in winter during the year. Escherichia coli O157, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella. ornithinolytica, Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Tatumella. ptyseos, Serratia odorifera, Aeromonas sobria, Enterobacter cloacae and Flavimonas oryzihabitans were isolated from carcass surface during slaughter treatments. S. aureus, Listeria grayi and L. monocytogenes were isolated from cutting board and L. grayi, Erwinia spp. Salmonella spp. and S. aureus were isolated from cotton glove in cut-meat process environments. Citrobacter freundii, L. monocytogenes, and S. aureus were isolated from deboned meat.

The main goal of this work was to investigate changes in microbiological quality and dominant bacterial communities present in minimally processed Platycodi radix (Doraji) under vacuum packaging during cold storage using matirix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry fingerprinting. Microbiological analysis of raw Platycodi radix throughout the manufacturing process highlighted the presence of high numbers of total viable cells both before and after storage. Further, the dominant bacterial communities changed during processing and storage, with greater richness detected in Enterobacteriaceae; specifically, Serratia fonticola and Rahnella aquatilis became abundant in Platycodi radix after processing. During storage at 5 and 15℃, the quality diminished and the relative abundance of Leuconostoc spp. increased; Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides and Leuconostoc citreum were the main bacterial communities in decayed Platycodi radix at the end of storage. Microorganisms present in Platycodi radix products during processing and storage are potentially involved in deterioration. The identification of dominant bacteria can be helpful in the effective establishment of packaging and storage conditions to prolong the freshness of minimally processed Platycodi radix products.

The quality characteistics and kimchi processing ability of the kimchi cabbage cultivar ‘Cheonjincheongmayup’ (CC) were analyzed and compared with those of the ‘Chunkwang’ (CK) cultivar. The head weight of CC was lower than that of CK, and the head length of CC was larger than that of CK. CC had narrower and longer mid ribs than CK. Furthermore, the head formation index of CC was lower than that of CK. The firmness and soluble solid content were higher in CC than in CK. The salinity of Cheonjincheongmayup kimchi (CCK) was 2.89-3.02%, which was higher than 1.94-2.10% salinity measured in Chunkwang kimchi (CKK). The initial titratable acidity in CCK was higher than that of CKK, but increasd more slowly during storage. CCK was firmer than CKK; lactic acid bacteria in CCK was lower than in CKK initially, but increased more in CKK than in CCK after six weeks of storage. We found that CC was suitable for making Makkimchi because of its long and narrow mid ribs, saltiness, and slow fermentation. CC should be improved as less hot spicy and less hard texture to use a Makkimchi material.

Puff processing is one of the preparation and processing methods of herbal medicines. This study analyzed the quality characteristics in schisandra chinensis extracts by puff processing (1 kgf/cm2, 3 kgf/cm2, 5 kgf/cm2) through changes of the lignan contents and antioxidant activity. The lignan contents and antioxidant activity of puff processing schisandra chinensis extracts (PPSCE) increased higher than compared to a control. Also, as lignan contents and antioxidant activity of PPSCE was increased with the increasing pressure but it was reduced from 5 kgf/ cm2. The results suggest that puff processing was attributed to the quality increase schisandra chinensis.
