This study was carried out to prepare green teas by traditional roasting manufacturing process, Ku Geung Ku Po and to determine the quality charateristics of the green teas by examining the change of their main components induced during this roasting process. The content of total sugars in unroasted tea leaves was 7.82%. Its content of roasted teas was decreased by increasing the number of roasting and there was significantly differences between samples. The content of total sugars in 9th roasted green tea was 3.98%. The total nitrogen contents of green teas produced by this process were 4.96∼6.38%. The more the number of roasting and the less content of tannin in green teas. And the ratio of total nitrogen and tannin in tea leaves 21.97 but its ratio in 9th roasted tea was increased to 45.54. The ascorbic acid in tea leaves consisted in 1,820.3 mg/100g but its content was decreased by increasing the number of roasting process. Whereas the content of caffeine in green teas was not reduced significantly by this traditional method. Of all amino acids, green tea produced by Ku Jeung Ku Po was rich glutamic acid, lysine and aspartic acid. And especially, phenylalanine, which was rarely found in other green teas, was abundant in these green teas. The compositions of glutamic acid and methionine were increased as increasing the number of roasting process but those of aspartic acid and arginine decreased by these processing. The main fatty acids of Ku Jeung Ku Po green tea were linolenic acid, linoleic acid and palmitic acid and the contents of unsaturated fatty acid in green teas were composed over 70% of total fatty acid. And the fatty acid contents in green teas were not affected during Ku Jeung Ku Po's process. The contents of minerals in these teas was rich in the oder of potassuim. magnessuim and calciumim, and these contents were not observed the prominant change during the process.

The purpose of this study was to ivestigate the structural characteristics of waste soulble browning reaction prodcuts (WS-BRPs) isolated from Korean red ginseng. They all showed the maximum absorbances at near 280 nm. Their IR spectra suggested the presence of hydroxyl, amide carbonyl and aliphatic methine groups. From sugar analysis it was identified that L and S-1 contained two kinds of suggar, glucose and xylose, and S-2, a fructose together with glucose and xylose. Thirteen different amino acids were identified in L. Ten amino acids from S-1 and seven amino acids from S-2 were identified using Auto Amino Acid Analyzer. Glycine, serine and glutamic acid in S-1 and one unknown amino acid and glycine in S-2 were detected as the major amino acids, respectively. From the 1H-and 13C-NMR spectra, it was identified that a number of sugar moieties, carbonyl and carbon double bonds (only in S-2) were contained in the three WS-BRP components. Approximate number of sugar moiety of L, S-1 and S-2 was determined to be 8∼10, 9∼11 and 4∼5, respectively. Contents of nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen showed L>S-1>S-2.

To establish the evaluation method of Korean green tea, the correlation between physicochemical characteristics and sensory scores by the expert panels were investigated using 15 kinds of green tea manufactured in 1985 from Korea, Taiwan and Japan. Tannin, caffeine and total free amino acid contents of Korean green tea are higher than foreign ones, but the chlorophyll content is the highest in Japanese high grade green tea. Sixteen free amino acids including theanine were identified, and theanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid and arginine contents which affect the brothy taste of green tea infusion were highest in Korean green tea. Sensory score for the color of Korean green tea infusion were lower than Japanese tea, but the flavor and taste were the best. In multiple regression analysis, the quality affecting factors of the green tea were elucidated as the caffeine$(X_1)$, chlorophyll b$(X_2)$, total free amino acid contents$(X_3)$, and L value$(X_4)$ of green tea infusion. The regression equation was expressed as $Y=-21.5820+2.1691X_1+0.0130X_2+0.2314X_3-0.0001X_4$ and then $R^2$ was 0.8919.
