Physicochemical Attributes Related to Sensory Characteristics of Long-Term Aged Korean Traditional Soy Sauce (Ganjang).

This study investigated the physicochemical properties influencing the sensory characteristics of long-term aged ganjang. Eight ganjang samples aged 3, 10, and 15 years were obtained from three different manufacturers and analyzed for physicochemical characteristics, sensory profiles, and consumer acceptability. The proximate composition (moisture, ash, protein, and crude fat), total solids, salinity, acidity, pH, color (L, a, b, chrome, and hue), 27 free amino acids (FAAs), and volatile compounds were analyzed.

Consumer Preference of Traditional Korean Soy Sauce () and Its Relationship with Sensory Attributes and Physicochemical Properties.

This study aimed to investigate the physicochemical characteristics, sensory attributes, and consumer acceptance of the Certification of Quality of Traditional Food (CQT) samples produced in different provinces of Korea. Wide variations in physicochemical properties were found among the samples, especially in lipids, total nitrogen, acidity, and reducing sugar. Traditional fermented foods are known to be closely tied to regional features, but the composition and characteristics of CQT might be influenced much more by individual producers than by region.

Metabolite profile and antioxidant potential of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during malting.

In addition to barley, wheat malt is considered an important beer material because of the recent popularity of wheat beer in the global market. The changes in metabolite profiles and antioxidant potential of wheat samples collected every 24 h during malting were investigated. Dynamic metabolite changes through H NMR-based metabolomics approaches, quantitative individual phenolic acids by high-performance liquid chromatography and antioxidant potential by colorimetric methods were assessed.

Physicochemical Properties and Drivers of Liking and Disliking for Cooked Rice Containing Various Types of Processed Whole Wheat.

For utilization of whole wheat (WW) in cooked rice products, WW was processed by four different methods (steeping (S_WW), milling (M_WW), enzymatic treatment (E_WW), and passing through a roll mill (1 mm) (R_WW)). Additionally, the physicochemical properties of cooked rice containing various processed wheat were investigated. The hardness of the cooked rice decreased significantly with R_WW and E_WW compared to WW.

Comparison of Physicochemical Properties and Metabolite Profiling Using H NMR Spectroscopy of Korean Wheat Malt.

The objective of this study was to compare the physicochemical, enzymatic, and metabolic properties of two control wheat malts imported from Germany and the US to those of malts made from three Korean wheat varieties: L., var. , , and .
