Flavor modifing effects of ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ on the flavor of Chungkookjang(Korean traditional fermented bean paste) were investigated with varied substitution levels of 10, 20, and 30%. The 20% substituted sample groups showed significantly lower amount of protein and ash contents compared to those of control. The L value of brightness had significantly the largest value of 53.99 with 30% substituted sample group, and lower a and b values. Internal structures of control group observed using the scanning electronic microscope, had irregular round type shape with viscous materials, and they had tendencies to be less rough and organized making even and ordered internal cell structures as the substituted levels were increased. Results of sensory characteristics showed significantly lower off-odor and salty flavor with the 20% substituted sample groups compared to those of control. Results of this study showed the possibilities of flavor moderating effects of ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ when it was used as one of the flavor modifier of the Chungkookjang. Future studies of finding the optimum level of substitution is further required.

The purpose of this study was to compare the differences of seven distilled soju samples that were presented at the main stage of the 2015 Korean Liquor Contest. The characteristics of the awarded products and other products were compared. The general components of prize-winning soju showed that the total acidity (0.22%) and alcohol content (38.44%) were higher than other soju (0.10, 22.81%), and that these properties influenced various sensory properties. For the sensory characteristics and consumer preference factors, the descriptive analysis and consumer preference testing were conducted. The descriptive analysis revealed that the (aftertaste) bitterness, corn-silk odor, sake odor/flavor, and overall taste intensity were strongly expressed in the prize-winning distilled soju. For the preference analysis, various preferences, such as "flowery odor/flavor" and "rich odor/flavor" appear to have influenced the positive preferences and "too strong an odor/flavor", "aftertaste bitterness", and "sharp tasting" were found to have a negative effect on preference.

This study was conducted to produce a new red ginseng by steaming ginseng using a new pre-treatment method, so as to develop ginseng products with improved flavor and thereby expand ginseng's consumer base. The color parameters (Hunter value), free sugar contents, and ginsenoside contents of the powder from the dried red ginseng, and the sensory test of the semi-dried red ginseng and the decoction from the dried red ginseng, were measured to investigate the effect of acid (ascorbic acid or citric acid) impregnation pre-treatment on red ginseng. The powder from the acid-pretreated red ginseng became lighter and more yellow than the red ginseng that was not pre-treated, but the redness (avalue) of the powder from the acid-pre-treated red ginseng increased. The ginsenoside contents of $Rg_2+Rh_1$ and $Rg_3$ increased with the acid treatment. There was a significant difference in the color and sweetness of the semi-dried acidtreated and non-treated red ginsengs in the sensory test. As the results of the sensory test were expressed in the hedonic scale, however, there were significant differences in the degrees of bitterness, astringency, sourness, odor, and color of the red ginseng decollation. Especially, the acid-treated red ginseng extract tasted less bitter, which shows the potential of new red ginseng products with improved ginseng flavor.

The present study was attempted to preprare calcium-fortified soymilk using proteases to improve calcium intolerance of soymilk protein and to evaluate its nutritional properties. The protease from Bacillus polymyxa was chosen as an enzyme source because it produced the least bitter taste and calcium-aggregation of soymilk among various enzymes. The optimum treatment time was 10 minutes at $50^{\circ}C$ for the best result. In vitro protein digestibility of calcium-fortified soymilks was comparable with that of control soymilk. Calcium in the digested soymilks was mostly in the ionic form and the amount of ionic calcium increased in accordance with the amount of fortified calcium in soymilk. This suggests that fortified calcium in the soymilk is bioavailable.

In this study the effect of rice addition on the quality of beer was investigated. Pilot-scale brews were performed with addition ratios of 10, 20, 30, and 40% of brown rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Hangaru) which were compared with 100% malt beer and commercial beers in terms of quality. Alcohol content of beer was between 3.93 to 4.40%. The total sugar content increased when the rice percent was increased. The pH range of beer were 4.32 and 4.60, which were no significant differences found among by the rate of rice added. Total acidity and amino-acidity decreased corresponding to increasing percent of rice, on the other hand, lightness of beer was increased the increase in percent of rice, while redness and yellowness of beer were decreased. The study demonstrated that the increases of rice addition in beer provided some positive effects on beer quality by decreasing bitterness where as improving beer color.

The hydrolysates of three kinds [FSEH(first step enzymatic hydrolysate), SSEH(second step enzymatic hydrolysate), and TSEH(third step enzymatic hydyolysate)] were prepared by continuous hydrolysis of Alaska pollack(Theragra chalcogramma) skin gelatin with three-step membrane enzyme reactor. The molecular weight distributions of FSEH, SSEH, and THSE are 9,500∼4,800Da, 6,600∼3,400Da, and 2,300∼900Da, respectively. The contents of amino acid having sweet taste (glycine, proline, serine, alanine, hydroxyproline, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid) were about 70% of total amino acid being in the three kind hydrolysates. We also tried preparing of natural seasonings (complex seasoning and enzymeatic hydrolysale sauce) using the hydrolysates. From the results of sensory evaluations, complex seasoning containing TSEH was nearly equal to shellfish complex seasoning on the market. The mixture sauce which was made by mixing of 80% enzymatic hydrolysis sauce and 20% fermented soy sauce, was at least similar to the tradition soybean sauce in product quality, too.

Citrus peel powder was used to substitute 2%, 4% and 6% rice flour for making sulgidduk. Proximate composition, sensory characteristics, and principle components of sulgidduk containing citrus peel were analyzed and compared with those of sulgidduk. Protein, fat, carbohydrate, ash, color b-value (yellowness index), springiness, and adhesiveness of sulgidduk all significantly increased, whereas color L- and a-values, hardness, cohesiveness, and chewiness of sulgidduk decreased with the addition of citrus peel powder. No significant differences were observed regarding the contents of moisture and carbohydrates, or fracturability in any of the samples. Substitution of rice flour with citrus peel powder showed acceptable sourness and bitterness sensory scores, which were comparable to sulgidduk. Principle components analysis revealed total variation of 94% in the main structured information: PC1 and PC2 showed 79.31% and 14.69% variation. CP-B (citrus peel powder 4%) and CP-C (citrus peel powder 6%) associated the strongest with PC1 and sulgidduk without citrus peel powder associated with PC2. Attributes associated strongly with PC1 were color, bitterness, adhesiveness, and sourness. Therefore, sulgidduk containing CP-B can be developed based on its favorable quality characteristics and sensory evaluation.

The Physicochemical properties of six varieties of domestic orange and orange juices which were grown and produced in Korea, were analyzed their qualities, including taste evaluation based on the amount and the ratio of sugar and acid The physicochemical properties of mandarin were as follows soluble solid $10{\sim}11^{\circ}$ Bx, total acidity $0.76{\sim}1.20%$ ratio of sugar and acid $7.9{\sim}13.8$. Sugars of orange are mainly composed of sucrose, glucose, fructose. The sucrose content of mandarin was a little higher than that of sweet orange. The organic acids in orange were mainly citrate and malate. The content of these two acid in oranges were 0.8-1.4%. Mandarin type oranges tastes more sour than sweet orange. Hesperdin existed 30.8-67.5mg% in oranges. Naringin, one of the bitter components. was not detected in both varieties. The optimum sweetness and acid content were determined based on the results of sensory evaluation.

The geographical origins of raw ginseng (RG) were discriminated using an electronic tongue. Taste screening, DFA (discriminant function analysis), and CDA (canonical discriminant analysis) were used to statistically analyze the data. The taste profile patterns of umami, bitterness, and sweetness of the Korean RG was different from those of the Chinese RG. The Korean RG was stronger than the Chinese RG regarding the taste of umami. DFA discriminated the geographical origins of 154 samples, with a few overlapping samples, between the Korean and Chinese RG. CDA showed that the accuracy of origin discrimination for the Korean and Chinese RGs were 87.01 and 94.81%, respectively. The final accuracy of origin discrimination was 90.91%. The distance between the centroids of each group was 2.7463. Thus, the electronic tongue analysis can be used to efficiently differentiate the geographical origins of RG.

For the purpose of supplying the basic knowledge to make Doenjang which is acceptable to Korean people three kinds of koji, namely rice, wheat, and soybean Koji were made with Aspegillus oryzae. Then Doenjangs were made with four different ratio of three Kinds of Koji. Components related to the taste of Boenjang were analyzed, sensory evaluation of Doenjang were made, and correlation between analytical variables and sensory parameters were investigated. The results were as followed 1. Total nitrogen contents of each Doenjang were increased with increasing the ratio of Koji except Doenjang made with soybean Koji. The amounts of amino nitrogen increased with the ratio of koji increases in each Doenjang. Amino nitrogen contents of Doenjang made with soybean Koji were highe. than the others, 2. Reducing sugar contents of rice and wheat Doenjang were similar, but amounts were increased with increasing the ratio of Koji Reducing sugar contents of Soybean Doenjang were lower than the others. pH of the Doenjangs decreased as the ratio of the koji increased. The amount of sweet taste amino acids and MSf; like amino acids were increased, but bitter taste amino acids were decreased as the ratio of the koji increased in rice and wheat Doeujang, The sweet taste amino acids and bitter taste amino acids in soybean Doenjang showed little Changes in amount, but the amount of MSG like amino acids increased as the ratio of the Koji increased from 13% to 25%, 37%, and 50%. The nucleotide contents of wheat Doenjang were higher than other Doenjangs, and there is a tendency to increase the amounts of nucleotide as increasing the ratio of koji in each Doenjang. 3. As a result of sensory evaluation, wheat Doenjang of 13% koji ranked highest in the overall eating quality, and Doenjangs made with 50% and 37% of rice koji ranked next, 4. pH and sweet tast amino acids influenced on the Overall eating quality of the Doenjang, however most compo-nents of the Doenjang seemed to relate to overall eating quality of Doenjang, however most components of the Doenjang seemed to relate to overall eating quality of Doenjang.
