The red ginseng marc was roasted at various conditions and its organo-leptic properties and flavor components were investigated. Scorched-rice odor and roasted odor and the roasted red ginseng marc powder were much stronger than those from the unroasted red ginseng marc powder while earth odor, old-rice odor, metalic off-odor and woody odor were much weaker than those from the unroasted red ginseng marc. Savory odor and scorched-rice odor as well as savory taste and astringent taste from the water-extract of red ginseng marc roasted at $200^{\circ}C$ were stronger, but smoky odor, woody odor, biner taste and rough taste were weaker than those roasted at $230^{\circ}C$. Seven kinds of pyrazines, two kinds of carbonyl compounds, seven kinds of acids, two kinds of esters, five kinds of phenolic compowlds, maltol and six other compounds were identified as flavor components in distillate from red ginseng marc roasted at $200^{\circ}C$ for twenty minuties. Of them pyrazines and maltol are thought to be compounds which have characteristic odor such as roasted odor and/or scorchedrice odor in the roasted red ginseng marc.

The volatile compounds produced from the browning reaction of 0.5M DL-alanine and 0.5M D-glucose mixture using propylene glycol as a reaction medium were analysed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and effects of temperature($100^{\circ}C,\;120^{\circ}C,\;140^{\circ}C$) and time(20min, 2hours) on the formation of volatile compounds were investigated. Browning reaction were rapidly increased as the reaction temperature and time increased. From methylene chloride extracts, twenty six compounds, including 7 alkyl pyrazines. 4 pyrroles, 3 furans, 1 furanone and 11 miscellaneous compounds were identified. The relative amounts of pyrazines, pyrroles and furans were markedly increased as reaction temperature and time increased. The results showed that caramel-like and burnt sugar-like aroma produced by alanine -glucose reaction must be mainly comprised of nitrogeneous heterocyclic such as pyrazines, pyrroles and oxygen heterocyclic compounds such as 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one and 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone.

Pyrazines are known to exhibit a range of physiological activities. As we mentioned earlier, the importance of dicyanopyrazine derivatives lies mainly in the chemical industry and many other fields such as food, agricultural, medicinal chemistry because of their specific properties. And then, a large number of research papers have been published about the characteristics of dicyanopyrazine derivatives[1,2]. (omitted)

2-(Allylthio)pyrazine derivatives were designed as a novel cancer chemopreventive agent that functions through selective inhibtion of cytochrome P-450 and induction of phase 11 enzymes involved in the detoxification of carcinogens. A practical preparation method of 2-(allylthio) pyrazine derivatives was established by the reaction of 2-mercaptopyrazine and allylbromides in the presence of a catalytic antioxidant, DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2] octane), in dimethyl-formamide at below $50^{\circ}C$.

Volatile compounds in raw oyster and oyster hydrolysate produced with protease were compared by vacuum simultaneous steam distillation-solvent extraction/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Sixty-two volatile compounds were detected in both samples. Of these, 57 were positively identified, composed mainly of aldehydes(12), ketones(9), alcohols(14), nitrogen-containing compounds(9), acids(6), terpenes(4), and miscellneous compounds(8). Levels of acids decreased after hydrolysis, whereas several other compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, and nitrogen containing compounds increased. Pyrazines, found in high abundance, were only detected in oyster hydrolysate.

Volatile components of Cornsilk(Zea mays L.) were isolated by purge and trap headspace method and were analyzed by GC and GC/MSD. A total of 44 components were identified in the cornsilk volatile coponents including 9 alcohols 7 aldehydes and ketones 14 terpenes and terpene alcohols 3 pyrazines 5 hydrocarbons and 6 miscellaneous components. The major components were 2-propanol(8.08%) pen-tanol(1.82%) hexanol(2.86%) hexanal(3.68%) heptanal(7.40%) nonanal(7.93%) decanal (2.04%) $\alpha$-copaene(2.20%) limonene(1.68%) $\alpha$-selinene(1.03%) $\beta$-selinene(1.03%)

Two types of powdered chungkookjang, were prepared by a hot air-drying process, and the freeze-drying, and composition and aroma patterns were examined. The fresh chungkookjang was composed of 53.8% moisture, while the hot air-dried and freeze-dried powdered chungkookjang contained 5.2% moisture, $39.3{\sim}39.4%$ crude protein, $18.6{\sim}18.7%$ crude lipid, $4.7{\sim}5.0%$ crude ash, and $31.7{\sim}32.2%$ carbohydrate. The pH of the each powered chungkookjang was similar, ranging from 6.5 to 6.7. The freeze-dried powdered chungkookjang showed the highest lightness (67.30), yellowness (59.37) while the highest redness (43.1) was observed in the hot air-dried chungkookjang. Each chungkookjang was analysed by an electronic nose with metal oxide 12 sensors and SPME-GC/MS. The response by the electronic nose was analysed by principal component analysis (PCA). The proportion of the first principal component was 90.47%, suggesting that each aroma pattern of the prepared chungkookjang was discriminated. SPME-GC/MS was used to identify the pyrazines. The percentage of pyrazines observed in the fresh chungkookjang, freeze-dried powdered chungkookjang, and hot air-dried powdered chungkookjang was 6.6, 3.8 and 15.9%, respectively. A higher overall preference was obtained from the hot air-dried powdered chungkookjang than with the freeze-dried powdered chungkookjang.

In this study, volatile flavor compounds in sesame oils were analyzed by using pure-and-trap method and a gas chromatography. 2-ethoxy-3-ethylpyrazine was used as an internal standard and retention index (Kovat's number) for the volatiles were determined through the use of a n-paraffin $(C_5-C_{25})$ standards. A total of 33 volatile compounds including 14 pyrazines, 7 thiazoles, 4 pyridines, 2 oxazoles and 6 others were identified in the sesame oils. By comparing the total yields of volatile flavor compounds, the pyrazines are the most abundant compounds all of the oil samples and considered as good contributor to characteristic flavor of sesame oil. The oil from the seeds roasted in the electric pan at $200^{\circ}C$ and $230^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes generated 277.06 ppm, 264.81 ppm in pyrazine and 15.16 ppm, 13.19 ppm in thiazole, respectively. The sensory evaluation of oil samples was also investigated. The sesame oil obtained from the sesame seeds roasted at $200^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes with electric pan showed good flavor scores and quality among the all of samples.

Sesame seeds were roasted for 30, 60, 90, and 120 min at different temperatures (100, 200, and $300^{\circ}C$) and extracted to investigate an adequate condition for producing the high quality sesame oil. Sesame seeds roasted at $200^{\circ}C$ for 90 min gave the high yield of oil. The oil contained the low content of brownish-black precipitates and exhibited an excellent organoleptic quality when judged by descriptive sensory analysis. Thirty one volatile flavor compounds, which are the largest number of volatiles among the oil samples prepared, were identified from the oil sample. The oil contained relatively high concentrations of furfurals (sweet candy-like flavor) and pyrazines (roasted-like flavor), that are considered as good contributors to sesame seed oil flavor, and low concentations of aldehydes $(C5{\sim}C10)$ and ketones, which are considerd as bad contributors (oxidized fat-like and painty-like flavors). These results suggest that the roasting condition of $200^{\circ}C$ for 90 min was the best for the oil production in terms of the overall aroma and taste quality under the test conditions (Received July 13, 1993; accepted November 4, 1993).
