고추장의 품질을 향상시키고 재래식 전통 고추장과 유사한 맛을 지닌 고추장을 만들기 위해 재래식 전통 고추장에서 분리한 B.licheniformis 균주와 공장에서 대량 생산을 위해 개량해온 A. oryzae와, 비교적 호염성이며 알콜 발효 능력이 우수한 S.rouxii를 혼용하여 고추장을 담근 후 180일까지의 각 고추장의 이화학적 특성 변화를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 단도는 모든 구에서 숙성 30일 까지 급격히 증가한 후 180일까지 거의 일정한 수준을 유지하였으며, 곰팡이 단용구에 비해 고초균과 효모 혼용구에서 숙성 기간 동안 높은 적정산도 값을 보였다. 조단백질은 숙성 기간 동안 대조구에서는 숙성 60일까지 약간 증가한 후 숙성 120일까지 급격히 감소하였으며 고초균 혼용구와 효모 첨가구는 숙성 90일 이후 감소한 후 숙성 120일 이후부터는 거의 변화가 없었다. 숙성 90일 이후부터는 B. licheniformis와 효모 혼용구에서 A. oryzae 단용구보다 조단백질 함량이 높았다. 환원당은 세 구간 모두 숙성 60일 경까지는 증가하는 추세를 보였으며, A. oryzae 단용구보다 B.licheniformis 균주와의 혼용구에서 높은 수치를 보여주었다. 비휘발성 유기산은 숙성 기간이 경과하면서 증가하였고 가장 많이 검출된 유기산은 pyroglutamic acid와 citric acid의 순이었다. 따라서 고추장의 숙성 과정 중 이화학적 특성 변화의 측면에서 볼 때 고초균과 효모 혼용구로 제조된 고추장이 구수한 맛의 생성면에서 유용한 담금법인 것으로 사료된다.

To furnish basic data for the utilization of leaf mustard as a raw material of salted and fermented vegetable food, major chemical compositions of Dolsan Leaf Mustard (DLM) were investigated. The moisture and ash contents of DLM were 87.5% and 1.4%, respectively. Compared with other Korean traditional or Japanese leaf mustard, DIM contained more crude protein (3.8%) but less crude fat (0.3%) and crude fiber (1.3%). As an alkali food, leaf and leat stalk had pH of 5.7 and 5.8, titratable acidity of 687 and 318mg/100g and alkalinity of 2.5 and 5.2, respectively. The major free sugar in DLM was glucose and fructose was also detected in a small amount. The contents of total and reducing sugar in leaf and leaf stalk were 574, 352, 820 and 538mg%, respectively. Total amino acid contents of leaf and leaf stalk were 8.0 and 2.5% on wet basis. Although the amino acid compositions of leaf and leaf stalk were different each other, glutamic acid and proline were the major amino acids in both of the leaf and leaf stalk. Significantly higher amount (ca.10.3-fold) of free amino acid was present in leaf (3074mg%) than in leaf stalk (298mg%). Glutamic acid and aspartic acid were the major free amino acids and essential amino acid contents in leaf and leaf stalk were 869 and 68mg% being 22.9 and 28.3% of total free amino acids.

In order to manufacture the low salt and functional Kochujang, salt amount was reduced to 6% and chitosan was added to 0.25% to the Kochujang preparation. The contents of ash, moisture, crude fat and crude protein in Kochujang were not affected by the reduced salt concentration and chitosan addition. pH and titratable acidity were not significantly changed by the addition of chitosan. Ethanol content was higher in 6% salt Kochujang tan in 9% salt Kochujang and decreased by the addition of chitosan. Reducing sugar content was lower in 6% salt Kochujang than in 9% salt Kochujang and increased by chitosan addition. $\alpha$-Amylase activity was slightly inhibited by the addition of chitosan, however, $\beta$-amylase, acidic protease and neutral protease activities were not affected. Amino nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen contents were higher in 6% salt Kochujang than in 9% salt Kochujang, but ammonia nitrogen production was significantly decreased by chitosan addition. Also the growth of bacteria and yeasts were slightly inhibited by the addition of chitosan. From the above results we concluded that 0.25% chitosan was the good concentration to prepare the low salt and functional Kochujang.

This study investigated the sensory attributes and quality characteristics of Fuji apples based on market commodity price to provide data for quality index of Fuji apples. Samples were purchased from the Garak market (Seoul Agro-Fisheries & Food Corporation) and divided into four groups depending on the price such as group A, B, C, D. There were no significant differences in their volume and weight among groups. In the soluble solid content and total free sugar, A and B group (high price) showed higher content than those of C and D (low price) group. And also, the A group and B, C, D group showed 386.29 mg% and 320.09~359.28 mg% in the total organic acid content, respectively. As an sensory evaluation results, A group and B group were evaluated higher score than those of C and D group in the uniformity of red color and glossiness of skin and unique apple sensory attributes using quantitative descriptive analysis. Consumer test showed similar to quantitative descriptive analysis results in the various sensory attributes. In the analysis results between quality characteristics and sensory attributes of Fuji apples, total acceptability was correlated positively with titratable acidity (r=0.58), soluble solid (r=0.89), soluble solid content/titratable acidity ratio (r=0.42), total free sugar (r=0.36) and total organic acid (r=0.38). Based on principal component analysis of apple's quality characteristics, apples were primary separated along the first principal component (pH, acidity, soluble solid content, total free sugar, organic acid), which accounted for 66.01% of total variance. In addition, principal component analysis of sensory evaluation revealed a total variance for the quantitative descriptive of 55. 65% and a total variance for the consumer test of 55.84%.

The effect of additives on the quality of low-salt doenjang was investigated. The amylase activity of the mustard added group decreased during the fermentation period, and the number of yeast and bacteria was also decreased during the fermentation period. The oxidation-reduction potential was low at the later fermentation stages for the mustard and mustard-garlic added groups, and water activity decreased considerably for the alcohol added group. The L-value of alcohol added doenjang decreased with increases in the a-value. The pH was 4.84 in the mustard added group. The reducing sugar content was 10.15% in the alcohol-garlic added group, and the alcohol production was limited by adding mustard. The amino-type and ammonia-type nitrogen were high in garlic and mustard added groups. Alcohol and alcoholgarlic added groups exhibited significantly improved taste and overall acceptability of doenjang.

Enoki mushroom (Flammulina velutipes) was added in preparation of kimchi, and the quality was evaluated during fermentation at $10^{\circ}C$. Kimchi showed a rapid decrease in pH until 11 days, but revealed a retarded decrease thereafter. Titratable acidity increased sharply until 15 days, but increased slowly thereafter. Treatment with 5% enoki mushroom showed a lower pH and titratable acidity than control. Total microbial load and lactic acid bacterial count were maximum at 5 days, and were about $2.0{\times}10^{8}\;CFU/ml$. Radical scavenging activity was greater in enoki mushroom added kimchi after 11 days, and it was mainly due to the materials soluble in methanol and ethanol. Kimchi with 5% enoki mushroom showed higher scores than others in color and taste for sensory evaluation.

This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics of curd yogurt with different contents [0.5~2.0% (w/w)] of Korean rice wine lees powder (KRWLP). Yogurt was fermented with commercially available mixed lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Streptococcus thermophiles) at $40^{\circ}C$ for 15 h. Acid production (pH and titratable acidity) of yogurts increased with increasing KRWLP content. After 12 hours fermentation, titratable acidity of KRWLP yogurt was 1.19~1.29 % and was higher than that (1.07 %) of yogurt made without KRWLP. And also, the number of viable lactic acid bacterial cell increased and the culture time to obtain maximum number of lactic acid bacteria cell decreased with the addition of KRWLP. The curd stability in yogurt was significantly enhanced by repression of whey separation in KRWLP yogurt. In sensory evaluation, there was a similar preference for KRWLP yogurts and the control. These results suggest that KRWLP can be used as foodstuff to improve the quality characteristics of yogurt.
