It was investigated to identify the volatile compounds of commercial vinegars by dynamic headspace sampling GLC-mass spectrometry, and additionally to evaluate the difference of sensory odor properties among vinegars such as brewed, cider, brown rice and persimmon vinegars. Thirty compounds were identified in four kinds of vinegar, which were composed of 9 carbonyl compounds, 12 esters, 6 alcohols and 3 acids. 3-Hydroxy-2-butanone could be merely detected in some of vinegar samples, and persimmon vinegar was characterized to include more various alcoholic compounds compared to the other kinds of vinegar. 3-Methyl-1-butanol was not detected from any samples of brewed vinegar, but from the most of cider, brown rice and persimmon vinegars. Persimmon vinegar has shown high strength of background odor intensity, and consequently was appeared to be inferior in background (p<0.05) and overall(p<0.01) odor preference scores to cider, brewed and brown rice vinegars.

Effects of pickling soybeans in acidic solution on soybean isoflavone, and pH and color of immersing solution were investigated. Soybean cultivars, Seoritae and Seomoktae (black beans) and Myeongju-namul (yellow bean), were soaked in persimmon vinegar for 10 days at $20^{\circ}C$. Isoflavone content increased rapidly during pickling, reaching 51.8 (Seomoktae)-106.8% (Myeongju-namul). Increase of aglycone types, from 6.2-9.3% to 20.9-50.8%, was particularly noted, while glycosidic ones were less affected. Acidity of persimmon vinegar increased from 3.4 to 4.4 up to 4 days of soaking and decreased slowly thereafter. Color 'L' and 'b' values of persimmon vinegar decreased significantly, whereas 'a' value increased in black beans. All color values of yellow beans were less affected.

Nuclear forensics is an essential part of nuclear material control and nuclear non-proliferation verification. Radiochronometry for nuclear forensics is used to estimate the timing of refinement and production of nuclear materials based on decay chain characteristics and the Bateman equation. The results of radiochronometry have uncertainties because the decay constant and number of nuclides are statistics derived from analyses or repeated experiments and involve uncertainties. The aim of this study was to develop an uncertainty calculation algorithm by performing computational simulation to overcome the limitations of the existing uncertainty calculation method for radiochronometry based on the Bateman equation. The results of the proposed uncertainty calculation algorithm were comparable to those of the existing method. The algorithm allowed for more than two generations of uncertainty calculations and mitigated the underestimation of the decay constant during the uncertainty calculation.

In this study, a 4-year-old mountain ginseng was mixed and ripened with 4-year-matured persimmon vinegar, and then it was diluted 5 times and orally administerd to rats. Afterwards, by analyzing the protein expression rate which affects both the carbohydrate metabolism and the lipid metabolism, this study examined the anti-obesity effect of the fusion material. The rats were divided into a control group (CON), a persimmon vinegar group (PV) and a mountain ginseng+persimmon vinegar fusion material group (MPV). The weight gain rate was found to be low in PV and MPV, and the concentration of glucose was also low in PV and MPV. However, GLUT-2 was found to be significantly high in these two groups on the contrary. Both the concentration of free fatty acid and CPT-1 protein expression rate were high in PV and MVP, but MVP was higher than PV. Cytochrome C oxidase was found to be higher in MPV than in CON. AMPK, $PPAR-{\gamma}$ and $PGC1-{\alpha}$ were all high in PV and MPV, but MPV was higher than PV. All the results above verified the thermogenesis effect of the fusion material, leading to an increase of energy metabolism, and it was thought that the fusion material could be effectively used for anti-obesity. However, it seems necessary to verify the anti-obesity effect through various further studies.

Physicochemical changes in persimmon were examined during natural organic acid fermentation. Major organic acids in raw persimmon juices were lactic acid (980 mg%) and acetic acid (245 mg%). The content of acetic acid was continuously increased during the whole period of fermentation up to 3 years. Glucose was the dominant free sugar, but the content was decreased after 20 days of fermentation. Most of the glucose was converted to ethanol until 40 days after initiation of acid fermentation. L- and a values of Hunter's color in fermented persimmon juice, which was naturally exuded from persimmon fruit as fermentation continued, increased gradually, while b value decreased. Acetic acid (1584 mg%) was the most abundant organic acid followed by lactic acid (712 mg%) and citric acid (48 mg%) in a persimmon fruit juice after completion of 3 year fermentation. A minute amount of residual free sugars, mainly glucose, even after 3 years of fermentation may cause changes in quality characteristics while storage for edible use.

The quality characteristics of commercial fermented vinegars made with different ingredients were compared. The pH levels of the persimmon, fig, and brewing and rice vinegars were 3.60, 3.37, and 2.62, respectively. The total acid contents of the brewing, apple, and plum vinegars ranged from 6.33 to 6.57%. The free amino acid contents were detected in the following order: brewing vinegar (521.05 mg/100 g) > fig vinegar (358.89 mg/100 g) > persimmon vinegar (353.02 mg/100 g) > rice vinegar (122.31 mg/100 g) > plum vinegar (103.52 mg/100 g). The free amino acid contents of the commercial fermented vinegars were 56.85~358.89 mg/100 g, and their gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) contents, 0.21~27.22 mg/100 g. In particular, the GABA content of the fig vinegar was 1.3- to 100-fold higher than those of the other vinegars. The total polyphenol compound and total flavonoid contents were detected in the following order: persimmon vinegar > fig vinegar > brewing vinegar > rice vinegar. Hence, the results of this study can provide a new alternative for making functional vinegars containing organic acid and GABA.
