This research discusses the characteristics and the implementation strategies for two types of quality metrics to analyze innovation effects in six sigma projects: fixed specification type and moving specification type. Zst, Ppk are quality metrics of fixed specification type that are influenced by predetermined specification. In contrast, the quality metrics of moving specification type such as Strictly Standardized Mean Difference(SSMD), Z-Score, F-Statistic and t-Statistic are independent from predetermined specification. Zst sigma level obtains defective rates of Parts Per Million(PPM) and Defects Per Million Opportunities(DPMO). However, the defective rates between different industrial sectors are incomparable due to their own technological inherence. In order to explore relative method to compare defective rates between different industrial sectors, the ratio of specification and natural tolerance called, Ppk, is used. The drawback of this Ppk metric is that it is highly dependent on the specification. The metrics of F-Statistic and t-Statistic identify innovation effect by comparing before-and-after of accuracy and precision. These statistics are not affected by specification, but affected by type of statistical distribution models and sample size. Hence, statistical significance determined by above two statistics cannot give a same conclusion as practical significance. In conclusion, SSMD and Z-Score are the best quality metrics that are uninfluenced by fixed specification, theoretical distribution model and arbitrary sample size. Those metrics also identify the innovation effects for before-and-after of accuracy and precision. It is beneficial to use SSMD and Z-Score methods along with popular methods of Zst sigma level and Ppk that are commonly employed in six sigma projects. The case studies from national six sigma contest from 2011 to 2012 are proposed and analyzed to provide the guidelines for the usage of quality metrics for quality practitioners.

The purpose of this study includes: the relationships between job characteristics and service quality and the mediating effect of the psychological ownership on the relationship between job characteristics and service quality. In order to verify the relationships and mediating effect, data were collected from 255 nurses in a university hospital at Ulsan city to test theoretical model and its hypotheses. All data collected from the survey were analyzed using with SPSS 18.0. and AMOS 18.0. This study reports findings as follows: first, the relationship between the job characteristics and the psychological ownership is positively related. Second, there was also a positive correlation between the psychological ownership and service quality. Third, the relationship between the job characteristics and the service quality is positively related. Finally, the psychological ownership played as a partial mediator on the relationship between job characteristics and service quality. Based on these findings, the implications and the limitations of the study were presented including some directions for future studies.

In this study, soybean is used to produce soymilk according to various extracting methods and heating time. Specifically, the soy slurry is being filtered before being heated, or heated before being filtered. Following that the soymilk produced is freeze-dried to be powdered, and then, the quality characteristics of the powdered soymilk are mutually compared to determine the applicability of various food additives. The freeze-dried soymilk powder shows 2.03~6.35% of moisture content, and in terms of unit quantity, retained more proteins, which suggests that the ratio of protein extraction is higher than any other nutrients. Accordingly, the protein coefficient is significantly higher in soymilk powder being heated and processed than in raw soybeans. In particular, protein coefficient is the highest in the soymilk which is heated for 20 minutes before being filtered (SHBF20). The longer the heating time was, the trypsin inhibitor (TI) tended to be far less active. Such an inactivation seems to be more apparent in the “SHAF” soymilk powder than “SHBF” soymilk powder. Because protein had to be denaturated by heating for soymilk, the nitrogen solubility index (NSI) of soymilk powder is decreased considerably, while the protein digestibility, water absorption, emulsification and foaming activity all increase. Oil absorption tends to decrease slightly. As discussed above, the soymilk heated for 10 minutes after being filtered (SHAF10) and the soymilk heated for 20 minutes before being filtered (SHBF20) show optimum processing conditions for soymilk powder.

국내 벼 품종 중 아밀로스 함량과 아밀로펙틴 조성이 다양한 품종의 막걸리 특성을 분석하여 막걸리 품질 고급화 및 다양화를 위한 자료를 제공하고자 본 실험을 수행한 결과는 다음과 같았다. ‘고아미2호’, ‘고아미3호’, ‘고아미4호’는 품종별 전분 특성과 호화 특성 분석 결과, 낮은 아밀로펙틴 단쇄 비율과 높은 아밀로스 함량에 기인하여 점성이 낮게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었고, 높은 호화개시온도로 인해 가열흡수비와 팽창용적이 각각 2.09~2.13, 25.02~26.78 ㎤로 다른 품종에 비해 유의하게 낮아, 막걸리 발효에 적합한 전분의 호화가 이루어지지 않음을 확인할 수 있어, 막걸리 제조를 위해 호화를 증진시키기 위한 가공 방법 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다. 품종별 막걸리의 품질 특성은 ‘설갱’, ‘백진주’, ‘일품’의 알코올 함량은 17.3~18.0% 범위로 통계적인 유의차는 없었으나, ‘고아미2호’와 ‘고아미3호’, ‘고아미4호’는 10.0~10.5%로 상대적으로 낮은 알코올 함량을 나타내었고, 당도 또한 ‘설갱’, ‘백진주’, ‘일품’에 비해 절반 가까이 낮았으나, pH와 산도는 품종 간 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 또한 원료곡에서 높은 난소화성 다당류 함량을 지닌 ‘고아미4호’ 등은 막걸리에서도 역시 난소화성 다당류 함량이 유의하게 높아, 향후 막걸리 제품으로 이용 시 건강 기능성에 기여할 가능성이 높을 것으로 기대되었다. 결과적으로 아밀로펙틴 조성과 난소화성 다당류 함량에서 차이를 보인 ‘고아미2호’, ‘고아미3호’, ‘고아미4호’ 막걸리의 높은 제조수율과 난소화성 다당류 함량 및 낮은 알코올 함량과 당도를 확인하였으며, 지속적인 발효 공정 연구를 통해 국내 기능성 품종을 이용한 고품질 막걸리 개발이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Vitamin C 함량은 조사선량과 저장기간의 증가에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였다. 관능평가는 조사선량과 저장기간이 증가할수록 감소하였고, 1.5 kGy는 색깔, 신맛, 단맛, 향, 질감, 전체적인 선호도에서 가장 낮은 선호도를 보였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 감마선 조사는 미생물학적 안정성에는 효과적이지만, 1 kGy와 1.5 kGy는 물리적 특성과 관능 특성에 좋지 않은 영향을 끼치는 것으로 보고, 품질 변화를 최소화하기 위한 최적 선량은 0.4~0.6 kGy 인 것으로 사료된다.

This study is conducted to investigate the effects of Chinese artichoke powder on the antioxidant activities and the quality characteristics of tofu. Tofus are being prepared with different amounts of Chinese artichoke powder in ratios of 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8% according to the soy milk quantity. According to the increasing contents of Chinese artichoke powder, the yield and turbidity of tofus are significantly increased (p<0.001) whereas the pH levels of tofus are significantly decreased (p<0.001). In terms of color, the L, a and b values are significantly decreased with increasing Chinese artichoke powder concentrations (p<0.001). From the texture profile analysis of the tofus, the chewiness, gumminess and cohesiveness of tofus are significantly decreased (p>0.01) according to the levels of added Chinese artichoke powder content. The contents of isoflavones such as daidzin and genistin are significantly increased with increasing concentrations of Chinese artichoke powder (p<0.001). The microstructure of tofus is being examined by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). In the sensory test, the sample which contains 0.4% of Chinese artichoke powder is ranked significantly higher (p>0.001) than the other groups according to several sensory parameters such as appearance, color, flavor, taste, texture and the overall preferences.

This study is performed to examine the functional and quality characteristics of glutinous barley Jeung-pyun added with beet powder. Jeung-pyun is being prepared with concentration of 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8% (w/w) of the beet according to nonglutinous rice powder weight. The pH level of Jeung-pyun batters decrease along with fermentation time. However, the pH level of Jeung-pyun is higher than that of the Jeung-pyun batter. For hunter’s color value of glutinous barley Jeung-pyun added with beet powder, the L (lightness) values decrease with increasing concentrations of beet powder, whereas a (redness) values increase (p<0.001). In the texture analysis, the hardness, chewiness and gumminess are significantly increased with the amount of glutinous barley Jeung-pyun with added beet powder. According to sensory evaluations, the appearance, color, flavor, taste, texture and overall quality are considered very good in the 4% of added beer powder in glutinous barley Jeung-pyun (p<0.001). The antioxidant activities of beet powder by DPPH free radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power and total phenolic contents are being recorded at 259.52 ㎕/㎎, 0.44±0.01, 15.29±0.04 ㎎ GAE/g respectively. The antioxidant activities of glutinous barley Jeung-pyun added with beet powder increase with increasing concentrations of beet powder. These results suggest that beet powder are useful as functional food resources within antioxidant activities.

본 연구는 염지공정에 사용되는 대표적인 염지제 종류를 각각 또는 혼합 처리한 돈육 등심의 품질 특성을 확인하고, 육제품 특성에 영향하는 각 염지제의 특성을 확인코자 실시하였다. 본 실험의 원료육은 돈육 등심을 이용하여 염지제를 첨가하지 않은 대조구(C)와 소금 5%(T1), 인산염 5%(T2), 탄산수소나트륨 3%(T3), 소금 5% + 인산염 5%(T4), 소금 5% + 탄산수소나트륨 3%(T5) 및 인산염 5% + 탄산수소나트륨 3%(T6) 등 원료육 중량의 10%를 기준으로 처리구를 설정하였다. 주입된 처리구들은 준비된 폴리백에 보관 후 24시간 동안 4℃에 냉장보관 하였다. pH 측정 결과, 5.44-6.04의 범위를 보였으며, 소금 염지 처리구(T1)을 제외한 모든 처리구에서 대조구보다 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 육즙감량(%)은 대조구에서 다른 처리구들에 비해 높게 나타났으며(p<0.05), 보수력(%) 또한 처리구에서 대조구에 비해 높은 경향을 보이며 T1과 T3 처리구에서 가장 높은 보수력을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 단백질 용해성의 총단백질 및 근원 섬유단백질 농도는 모든 처리구에서 높은 용해성을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 결과적으로 염지제의 종류 및 이의 혼합 처리에 따른 돈육 등심의 이화학적 특성에 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 염지제의 처리는 근육의 pH 상승과 육즙 손실의 감소, 보수력 및 단백질 용해성을 증가시켜 육제품의 품질특성에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

Cedrela sinensis is a Korean traditional wild herb found especially in the southern provinces of Korea. This study investigated the effects of Cedrela sinensis powder on the antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of bread. Bread was prepared with different amounts of Cedrela sinensis powder (at ratios of 0, 1, 2, and 3% of total flour quantity). The results showed that the dough pH, moisture, and fermentation tension levels decreased as Cedrela sinensis powder content increased. Bread volume and specific volume decreased (p<0.01) with an increasing amount of Cedrela sinensis powder (Bread weight increased (p<0.001)). As Cedrela sinensis powder content increased, color ‘a’ value decreased, and ‘b’ value increased. Sensory parameters such as color (p<0.01), flavor (p<0.01), appearance (p<0.001), taste, softness (p<0.05), and overall quality (p<0.01) of bread containing 2% Cedrela sinensis powder were measured. Total phenol contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of bread significantly increased with increasing Cedrela sinensis powder content (p<0.001). Based on these results, we suggest that Cedrela sinensis can be used for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of bread.

This study investigated the antioxidative activities and quality characteristics of gruel as a home meal replacement with Angelica keiskei powder pre-treated by far-infrared radiation or freeze-drying methods. Far-infrared treated Angelica keiskei powder (F-IAP) showed significantly lighter, weaker green, and stronger yellow color values than powder subjected to freezedrying (FAP) (p<0.001). F-IAP showed higher total phenolic compound contents than that of the FAP. ABTS radical scavenging activity of F-IAP was 50.31%, which was significantly higher than that of FAP, at 43.51% (p<0.05). Color values of gruel significantly decreased with increased addition of Angelica keiskei powder (p<0.05). Gruels containing far-infrared treated Angelica keiskei powder (F-IAG) showed higher total phenolic compound contents as well as ABTS radical scavenging activities compared to the gruels containing freeze-dried Angelica keiskei powder (FAG). Gruels containing 5 g of Angelica keiskei powder showed 2.0 to 2.5 times higher antioxidant activities than those containing powder alone due to the presence of other ingredients with antioxidant activities such as black soybean or sweet pumpkin. In the results of sensory evaluation, F-IAG containing more than 5 g of Angelica keiskei powder had higher sweetness and roasted grain flavor, as well as lower bitterness and astringency compared to FAG. Sensory acceptance tests of all samples showed higher scores than 5.0 representing possibilities of successful development of gruels as a home meal replacement containing Angelica keiskei powder.

This study investigated the effects of ginkgo nut powder on the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of mung bean starch gel. Mung bean starch gels were prepared with different amounts of ginkgo nut powder (0, 1, 3, 5, and 7%). The antioxidant activity of ginkgo nut powder and mung bean starch gel was estimated through measuring DPPH free radical scavenging activity and total phenolic acid content. For analyzing quality characteristics several factors were considered: syneresis, pH, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations. In the results, syneresis in the treated group was higher than the control group. The pH, b values, total phenolic acid content, and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of mung bean starch gels also significantly increased with increasing ginkgo nut powder. In contrast, the L values and a values of mung bean starch gels significantly decreased with increasing ginkgo nut powder. In the texture profile analysis, the mung bean starch gels with 5% and 7% ginkgo nut powder showed significantly lower degrees of hardness, chewiness, and gumminess. On the other hand, cohesiveness was highest in the mung bean starch gels with 5% and 7% ginkgo nut powder. The consumer acceptability score for the mung bean starch gel prepared with 5% and 7% ginkgo nut powder ranked significantly higher than the other groups in flavor and taste. Overall, these results suggest that ginkgo nut powder is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of mung bean starch gel.

The effects of incorporating yacon powder on the physicochemical properties and consumer acceptance of cookieswere investigated. With increased yacon powder content, the pH and density of cookies decreased significantly(p<0.05) while moisture content increased (p<0.05). Also the spread factor decreased with the addition of yaconpowder (p<0.05). Control showed the maximum value of hardness, but no significant differences were foundamong the 10-40% samples (p>0.05). Lightness and yellowness decreased significantly while redness increased sig-nificantly with a high content of yacon powder in the formulation (p<0.05). A consumer acceptance test indicatedthat the 10% sample received significantly higher scores in all attributes including overall acceptance (p<0.05).Cookies with 10% yacon powder are recommended to take advantage of the functional properties of yacon powderwithout sacrificing consumer acceptability.

The feasibility of incorporating jujube concentrate (JC) as a value-added food ingredient in convenience food prod-ucts was investigated using a model system of gelatin jelly. With an increasing level of JC added, the pH, moisturecontent, and lightness gradually decreased while the soluble solids content increased (p<0.05). Hardness and totalpolyphenol content also increased significantly with a higher amount of JC in the formulation (p<0.05). A con-sumer acceptance test indicated that the addition of JC had a favorable effect on consumer preferences in allattributes. Jelly with 20% JC is recommended (with respect to the overall preference score) for taking advantage ofthe functional properties of JC without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

This study was to investigate the effects of differences in the temperature of steamed rice powder at the additionof wheat flour on the quality characteristics of Injeolmi after storage for 7 days at 4℃. The L values in color ofthe control and with 75℃ and 95℃ treatments decreased after storage whereas that of the 55℃ treatment increasedfrom 94.24 to 96.07. The amylose content of the control increased from 4.13% to 12.43%, while that of the 55℃,75℃, and 95℃ treatments increased from 5.10%, 5.28%, and 5.14% to 20.43%, 19.8%, and 19.34% respectively.Hardness of the 55℃, 75℃, and 95℃ treatments after storage increased by 109.2%, 2,023.2%, and 2,886.5%respectively compared with that at the initial storage stage. Hardness of the 55℃ treatment after storage was 3.17%compared with that of the control, which shows that the 55℃ treatment significantly reduced retrogradation inInjeolmi during storage. Total aerobic bacteria content of the control and the 55℃ treatment was 3.55 and 3.98 logCFU/g respectively, which were slightly higher numbers than those of the 75℃ (3.62log CFU/g) and 95℃ (3.30logCFU/g) treatments after storage for 7 days at 4℃.

This study aimed to evaluate the fermentation profile, organic acid composition, and volatile flavor components inthe meshes of Sul-dut prepared using different pre-treatment methods of rice (Godubap, Baeksulgi, and Ikbanjuk)and different fermentation agents (Nuruk and Ipguk). Among the three pre-treatment methods used, Ikbanjuk pro-duced the lowest alcohol content (12.2% for Nuruk and 12.6% for Ipguk) and the titratable acidity of the differentfermentation profiles seemed to be related to the degree of gelatinization during the pre-treatment of rice. Thedegree of gelatinizaion for Godubab and Baeksulgi was 100%, while that for Ikbanjuk was only 62.5%. Generally,titratable acidity was higher in the Ipguk group compared with the Nuruk group regardless of the pre-treatmentmethod. Citric acid was the major organic acid in the Ipguk group, while lactic acid was the major organic acid inthe Nuruk group. In particular, Ikbanjuk produced the largest amount of lactic acid in Nuruk. Volatile flavor com-ponents of Sul-dut were largely dependent on the fermentation agents and were less affected by the pre-treatmentmethod.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of process conditions on the quality characteristics of beef-bone broth inan attempt to improve the quality of ready-to-eat Gom-Tang. Cow soup bone (500g) was heated in water(1,500mL) at 121oC for 3 h to 15 h using an autoclave. In an examination of the physical characteristics of thebeef-bone broth, samples extracted after 3 h and 5 h were able to form a weak gel, whereas samples extracted atlater times appeared to lose their gel forming capability. Regardless of physical characteristics, crude protein andtotal amino acid content increased as the extraction time increased. The content ratio of glycine to crude protein of3.9 appears to be the limit for gel formation. The size distribution of microparticles and turbidity from floc forma-tion in the beef-bone broth were affected by the kind of salt present. Refined-salt produced smaller particle sizesand better turbidity compared with sea salt. Also, the particle size and the formation of aggregates increased withcalcium concentration. The optimum concentration of calcium was found to be less than 0.04%. Our results indicatethat control of extraction time and additives can enhance the quality of beef-bone broth.

In this study the effect of rice type and cooking methods on the quality of cooked rice during cold storage wereinvestigated to develop home meal replacement (HMR) products. The chemical and physical properties and sensoryquality of rice were studied by rice type (Oh-dae-mi, Baek-jin-ju S., and Indica) and cooking methods (electric ricecooker and super heated steamer). Cooked rice was stored at 5oC for 3 days and the moisture content, color, reduc-ing sugar content, texture profile, and sensory evaluation were analyzed. The results show that rice type Baek-jin-ju S. has the highest moisture content and that color and textural properties are maintained during storage. Ricecooked with an electric rice cooker has higher moisture content and better color properties; however, rice cookedwith a super heated steamer shows higher reduced sugar content with a softer texture. The selection of Baek-jin-juS. and cooking with a super heated steamer have a positive effect on the quality of rice during cold storage.
