This study investigated the physicochemical properties and acceptability of yellow layer cake prepared using various levels of wet-milled rice flour (RF). RF was used to substitute 0% (control group), 15% (RF-15 group), 30% (RF-30 group) and 45% (RF-45 group) of wheat flour (WF) to manufacture yellow layer cakes. The substitution of WF with RF showed no significant effect on the pH but decreased the specific gravity and viscosity of the batter. Baking loss rates ranged from 4.65% to 5.03%, showing no significant difference among samples. In the color measurement, the experimental groups showed higher redness (a) and yellowness (b) than the control group (p<0.05). The experimental groups showed lower gumminess and chewiness than the control group. According to the results of intensity measurement of sensory properties, the RF-30 and RF-45 groups showed stronger intensities for darkness, sweetness, moistness and softness than the control group. The acceptance test found that the RF-45 group had significantly higher or similar results for all acceptance attributes than the control group. These results indicate that RF addition as a replacement of WF at a ratio of 45% is optimal for producing yellow layer cakes.

This study investigated the effect of dry heat treatment (DHT) on the physicochemical properties of hard type (HR) and floury type (FR) rice to improve the processing aptitude of rice flour. The rice flour was heated at 130oC for 0, 2 and 4 hours, and the color value, water absorption index (WAI), water soluble index (WSI), swelling power, solubility, pasting properties, particle shape and the X-ray diffraction were measured. After DHT, the L value of rice flour decreased, and the b value increased. The WAI, WSI, swelling power and solubility of HR and FR increased with the increase of treatment time. The cold viscosity and setback increased, while breakdown decreased. Cracks and lumps formed with fine particles were observed. The X-ray diffraction pattern was A-type, while the diffraction intensity decreased. According to the results of the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, the hydration and pasting properties were significantly different between HR and FR and were affected by DHT time. The results suggest that the properties of modified rice flour by DHT can be used in the food industry.

The physicochemical properties of crystalline titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) were investigated by comparing amorphous (amTiO2), anatase (aTiO2), metaphase of anatase-rutile (arTiO2), and rutile (rTiO2) NPs, which were prepared at various calcination temperatures (100℃, 400℃, 600℃, and 900℃). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses confirmed that the phase-transformed TiO2 had the characteristic features of crystallinity and average size. The surface chemical properties of the crystalline phases were different in the spectral analysis. As anatase transformed to the rutile phase, the band of the hydroxyl group at 3,600–3,100 cm–1 decreased gradually, as assessed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). For ultraviolet-visible (UVVis) spectra, the maximum absorbance of anatase TiO2 NPs at 309 nm was blue-shifted to 290 nm at the rutile phase with reduced absorbance. Under the electric field of capillary electrophoresis (CE), TiO2 NPs in anatase migrated and detected as a broaden peak, whereas the rutile NPs did not. In addition, anatase showed the highest photocatalytic activity in an UV-irradiated dye degradation assay in the following order: aTiO2 > arTiO2 > rTiO2. Overall, the phases of TiO2 NPs showed characteristic physicochemical properties regarding size, surface chemical properties, UV absorbance, CE migration, and photocatalytic activity.

본 연구에서는 다양한 식물성 지방 대체제가 돼지고기 패티의 이화학적 특성 및 관능 특성에 미치는 영향을 평가 하고자 하였다. 동물성 지방 처리군, 식물성 기름 처리군, 비드 처리군 첨가에 따른 영향을 분석하였으며, 실험을 통해 지방 함량은 낮추면서 물리적 및 관능적 측면에서 돼지 등지방을 사용한 패티와 큰 차이를 나타내지 않음을 확인 하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 지방대체 방법인 식물성 기름 첨가와 식물성 기름 유화물 첨가 뿐 아니라 식물성 고체 지방 대체제를 제조할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였으며, 이를 육가공 제품에 적용하여 다양한 지방 대체제의 효과와 비교했다는 점에서 기존 지방대체 연구와 차이점이 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 연구 결과 식물성 고체 지방 대체제는 패티의 조리손실을 줄이고 보수력을 개선하는 등 품질을 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 패티의 부드러움과 다즙성에 영향을 주어 선호도가 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 새로운 지방 대체제의 적용 가능성에 대한 기초 연구 자료로 제공될 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 국내 시판되고 있는 진피차 10종을 무작위로 구매하여 외관 및 기본 정보와, 각 티백을 80oC의 열수 100 mL에서 5분간 침출한 용액의 당도, pH, 적정 산도, 환원당 함량, Vitamin C 함량, 총 폴리페놀 함량, 총 플라보노이드 함량을 분석하였다. 진피차 10종은 모두 100% 진피를 사용했으며 첨가물이 들어있지 않았다. 당도와 산도는 진피를 많이 함유한 T10에서 가장 높게 나타났으며 동일한 제조사 제품의 경우 외관상 입자크기가 큰 제품에서 당도값이 높게 나타났다. pH는 일정한 경향이 나타나지 않았으며 이는 원료 및 제조공정의 차이로 인한 것으로 생각된다. 환원당 함량과 Vitamic C 함량은 진피 함유량이 증가할수록 함량이 높아지는 경향을 나타냈다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 8.69-33.42 mg GAE/100 mL의 범위에서 진피 함유량이 높을수록 총 폴리페놀 함량이 높게 나타났다. 총 플라보노이드 함량은 T10에서 가장 높은 값을 보였고, T1이 가장 낮은 값을 나타냈으며 총 폴리페놀 함량 결과와 유사한 경향 을 보였다. 본 연구에서 진피차는 중량, 입자크기에 따라 이화학 특성이 달라진다는 것을 확인하였으며 이외에도 원료나 제조공정에 따른 차이가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이를 바탕으로 진피차의 품질향상 및 신제품 개발 시기초정보로 활용하는 데 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구는 시판 진피차를 시료로 이용했기 때문에 명시된 정보 이외에 품질 특성에 관여하는 건조방법, 귤 품종, 재배지역에 관한 정보는 알 수 없었다. 따라서 이러한 조건에 따른 진피차의 품질특성에 관한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of dry-fermented sausage using goat meat and evaluated its applicability. For this, the samples were prepared by dry-fermenting a control (100% pork) and two treatments (50% goat meat replacement or 100% goat meat replacement) for 21days. The moisture content, ㏗ and water activity were decreased in all treatments whereas lactic acid bacteria (LAB), texture profile analysis (TPA) and volatile compounds were increased during dry fermentation periods. In comparison of treatments, the dry-fermented sausage showed no significant difference in proximate compositions, yield, ㏗, water activity, LAB and TPA compared to the control (P>0.05). However, sausages with goat meat also had significantly higher values of C14:1, C18:1t and C18:3 than the control (P<0.05). Analysis of volatile compounds showed increased level of hexanal, octanal and 1-hexanol as replacing pork by goat meat in dry-fermented sausages (P<0.05). Goat meat replacement increased flavor intensity of dry-fermented sausages, but no difference was observed in overall acceptability score of the control and treated samples (P>0.05). Therefore, goat meat could be useful on raw material in dry-fermented sausage as well as pork.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of oyster mushroom addition on the physicochemical properties of full fat soy (FFS)-based extruded meat analog. The meat analog blend was FFS, wheat gluten, and corn starch (0.5:0.4:0.1), and oyster mushroom was added to the base formulation (0, 4, 8, and 12%). The extrusion condition was set to 55% feed moisture, 170oC barrel temperature, and screw speed of 150 rpm by using the twin-screw extruder equipped with a cooling die. The hardness, chewiness, cutting strength, and integrity index of the FFSbased extruded meat analog increased with the increase in oyster mushroom contents, while its nitrogen solubility index (NSI) decreased. The cohesiveness, springiness, and water holding capacity revealed the inconstant patterns with the increase in oyster mushroom contents. The total phenolic content and DPPH radical scavenging activity significantly increased with the increase in oyster mushroom contents. In conclusion, the incorporation of the oyster mushroom into the FFS-based meat analog enhanced the textural properties and antioxidant activity.

본 연구에서는 설탕 대체 비율에 따른 알룰로스의 이화학적 특성 변화를 연구하였다. 알룰로스의 설탕 대체비율을 0, 25, 50, 75, 100%로 설정한 후 수분함량, pH, Brix 의 변화를 측정하였다. 설탕 100%를 사용하였을 경우 0.11%로 가장 낮은 수분함량을 나타냈으며, 알룰로스의 함량이 높아질수록 수분함량이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. pH 는 설탕 100%와 알룰로스 100%를 제외하고 알룰로스 대체에 따른 시료간의 유의적 차이는 없었으며, brix는 알룰 로스의 함량이 높아질수록 낮은 값을 보였다. 상대습도에 따른 흡습량의 정도를 측정한 결과, 모든 실험조건에서 알룰로스 함량이 높아질수록 흡습량이 높아졌으며, 상대습도가 높을수록 흡습량의 증가가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 상대습도가 높고 알룰로스의 함량이 높을수록 흡습이 일어나 는 기간이 긴 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 알룰로스와 설탕의 혼합 비율에 따른 수분함량 및 흡습량의 자료는 앞으로 제빵 공정에 있어서 최종제품의 품질을 결정할 수 있는 기초자료로서 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This study compared and analyzed the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of the commercial stick-type jelly of pomegranate (P1-P3), green apple (G1-G3), and red ginseng (R1-R3). The pomegranate group's pH showed a relatively low range (3.38-3.61), and the red ginseng group showed a relatively high range (4.14-4.96). The total acidity of commercial stick-type jelly was in the range of 0.31-4.60, and this value satisfied the total acidity standard of candy prescribed in the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Water content in the commercial stick-type jelly was lowest in P1 (45.99%) and highest in R3 (83.16%). The pomegranate group was significantly higher than the other samples for sugar content and turbidity (p<0.05). Fracturability was measured only in G2 and G3 with significantly lower hardness values (p<0.05), while the pomegranate group showed significantly higher values for hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness compared to other samples (p<0.05). In DPPH free radical scavenging activity and total phenolic content results, the pomegranate group tended to have a high value, especially P3, which showed significantly the highest DPPH free radical scavenging activity (p<0.05). These results show that various commercial stick-type jelly products have different characteristics according to such factors like raw material and manufacturer.
