    <p>We developed "Yezo Venison Sausage" using the characteristics of Yezo sika deer meat to overcome disadvantages associated with the unique smell and tough texture of deer meat to turn Yezo sika deer, a Hokkaido-specific biological resource, into a beneficial resource. "Yezo Venison Sausage" is produced by the addition of 20% minced pork fat, 20 % crushed ice, 2.4 % salt, 2 % sugar, 0.15 % color developer, 0.1 % ascorbic acid, 0.2 % polyphosphate, 0.4 % baking soda, 0.6 % coarse ground black pepper, 0.2 % all spice, and 0.1 % sage to minced Yezo sika deer thigh. The ingredients are mixed by hand and then filled into casings made of sheep intestine. After drying at 60 °C for 30 min, the sausage is smoked at 60 °C for 30 min and then cooked at a central temperature of 70° C for 1 min. The newly developed "Yezo Venison Sausage" shows greatly improved texture and bloody taste quality. Further, the high protein, low fat, and high iron contents, all of which are distinctive characteristics of deer meat, along with the distinctive redness of the meat confer an excellent balance between the sensory and nutritional characteristics of the sausage.</p>

    <p>The water content, sugar content, and physical properties of five commercially available sweet bean paste products were measured and sensory evaluations were conducted. The results showed that most commercially available sweet bean products had a water content of 35 %-50 %. The higher the water content of the sweet bean paste, the harder the texture of the paste, and this leads to reduced sweetness. Because the sweetness level perceived by consumers is influenced by the texture of the sweet bean paste, the amount of sugar to be added must be calculated based on the water content of the sweet bean paste. Generally, a higher water content disperses the sweet bean paste particles, increasing the fluidity and softness of the resulting paste. Conversely, the results obtained for commercially available sweet bean paste products was unexpected. To clarify the reasons for this discrepancy, sweet bean paste samples with adjusted water or sugar content were prepared using the same raw materials. The prepared samples were analyzed in the same manner as the commercially available products. The results showed that as the water content increased, the samples became softer and melted better in the mouth. There was no difference in texture of the prepared samples and the commercially available products. When the water content was adjusted to 40% and the sugar content was increased, the samples became softer, had a smoother texture, and melted better in the mouth. This suggests that the samples with 40 % water content, 40 % sugar content, and high palatability provide consumers with moderate hardness, better melting in the mouth, a smooth texture, and optimal sweetness when used as filling in Japanese sweets and sweetened buns. The “hardness” of the sweet bean paste and its effect on melting sensations in the mouth, texture, and moderate sweetness is an important factor affecting consumer preference. Our findings revealed a relationship between the water and sugar contents of sweet bean paste and consumer preference. In contrast, even at higher water content levels, some samples had the same hard texture as the commercially available products. The hardness of sweet bean paste is considered to be affected primarily by the extent to which the particles in the sweet bean paste are distributed. Therefore, the impact of the manufacturing process and raw materials on the hardness of sweet bean paste should be clarified further. Furthermore, the relationship between the dispersed state of the particles, the physical properties of sweet bean paste, and consumer preferences should be thoroughly investigated.</p>

    <p>In this study, we clarified the food physico-chemical characteristics of emu tendon. In comparison with beef tendon, emu tendon had a higher in protein content, was lower in fats, higher in iron, and richer in collagen. By adding 0.2 % sodium ascorbate to the raw meat, the dry sausages were improved and had a bright and strong reddish tone with moderate hardness and a chewy texture. After the sausages were dried for four days, they contained a moisture level of<35 % and water activity of<0.87, which met the Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS) criteria for dry sausages. The dry emu sausages developed in this study had a high nutritional value, suitable physical properties, and good palatability other than flavor profile that was comparable to similar foods already on the market.</p>

  • Peptic Starch Content, Amylose Content, Free Sugar Composition and Amylases Activities Analyses of Food Chemical Characteristics of Conventional Beans from Hokkaido

    <p> We determined the peptic starch content, amylose content, free sugar composition, and amylases activities of 20 varieties of conventional beans from Hokkaido. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the quantitative value for each ingredient. The result demonstrated that main factors, which had effects on the definite grouping and clustering into the individual varieties, included peptic starch and sucrose contents in addition to β-amylase and <i>α</i>-glucosidase activities.</p>

  • Characteristic Evaluation of Starch from Chinese Yam Produced in Abashiri Okhotsk

    <p> We evaluated the characteristic of nagaimo (Chinese yam) starch produced in Abashiri Okhotsk. The result of characterization showed that a nagaimo starch grain had a smooth, spherical shape like a potato starch grain. The average diameter of the nagaimo starch grain was 22.7<i>μ</i>m, somewhat smaller than that of potato starch grain (24.1<i>μ</i>m). The gelatinization start temperature for the nagaimo starch was 72.5℃, lower than that for potato and tapioca starch (69.4℃ and 70.9℃, respectively). The viscosity of the nagaimo starch increased to only half of that of the potato starch, even after swelling by the addition of water and heat. The tendency of the nagaimo starch grain toward breakdown was second highest next to that of the potato starch grain, and the tendency toward aging (set back) was second highest next to the tapioca starch. Bolo cookies made from the nagaimo starch had moderate hardness and good solubility in the mouth. This finding suggests that the nagaimo starch would be a prospective raw material for bolo production.</p>
