In this study, the Opuntia humifusa f. jeollaensis (Wanggasi-Chunnyuncho) fruit (WCF) was used as a source of viscous dietary fiber and color pigmentation in sausage production to improve quality characteristics, including cooking loss and emulsion stability. Control and treatment sausages were formulated with 0%, 1%, 5%, and 10% WCF powder, respectively, and the following quality measures were investigated: general composition, fiber content, cooking loss, emulsion stability, chromaticity, pH, texture, and sensory properties. The moisture, dietary fiber, and ash contents showed increasing trends (all p<0.05) with increasing concentrations of fruit powder. Conversely, crude protein and crude fat contents exhibited decreasing trends with increasing fruit powder concentrations (p<0.05). Moreover, both the moisture and dietary fiber contents affected cooking loss, water retention capacity, and the sausage texture, causing the cooking loss to decrease, while the water and oil retention capacity increased (p<0.05) with increasing concentrations of WCF powder. Furthermore, hardness exhibited a significant decreasing trend as the concentration of WCF powder increased (p<0.05). This finding suggested that both dietary fiber and viscous materials, along with the protein and moisture content, affected the product hardness. In addition, sensory evaluation of the WCF powder groups showed better results than did the control group, and the strongest results obtained for the group containing 5% fruit powder (p<0.05). Therefore, this study suggests that WCF powder improves the quality of emulsified sausages and can potentially be applied as a naturally-derived additive.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of the steamed roll added Ligularia fischeri (Ledeb.)Turcz. powder. Methods: Steamed roll were prepared with different amounts (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% to the flour quantity) of Ligularia fischeri powder. Results: As a result of measuring the normal component and the sugar content of the steamed roll added with Ligularia fischeri powder showed a tendency to increase as the added amount more significant increase (p<0.001). The pH of steamed roll significantly decreased with fermentation time (p<0.001) after again appeared a tendency to increased (p<0.001). The moisture of steamed roll were measured by significantly decreased as Ligularia fischeri powder content increased (p<0.001).The results of color value, L(lightness)and a(redness)values decreased with b (yellowness) increasing concentration of Ligularia fischeri powder (p<0.001). In texture analysis, gumminess, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness decreased while chewiness and hardness increased as the amount of increasing concentration of Ligularia fischeri powder (p<0.001). According to the sensory evaluation, appearance, texture, moisture of 0.5% group received the highest score, color, flavor and overall acceptability were showed good results in 1% group (p<0.001). Concolusion: In summary, this study was considered that it can be manufactured as natural functional food that can sensory preference in 1%steamed roll added with Ligularia fischeri powder.
