We investigated characteristics of the taste components in traditional Korean soybean paste. The taste components in forty samples of the soybean paste were analyzed by gas chromatography, high pressure liquid chromatography and amino acid autoanalyzer and the taste of the soybean paste was investigated by sen-sory evaluation. The relationship between the taste components and sensory score was analyzed by the method of principal component analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Characteristics of the traditional Korean soybean paste appeared to consist of sweet taste, palatable taste, saline taste, bitter taste and sour taste. They contribute to the characteristic taste with the contributing proportion of 25.97%, 17.84%, 8.58％, 7.79% and 3.12%, respectively.

This study was to evaluate the taste of the wine assessment gap analysis to compare the taste of the wine intended for college student wine consumers and wine experts. Research analysis was carried out frequency analysis to the strength of the wine taste a difference in the intensity of the consistency review and wine for the wine flavor between the two groups. According to result, red wine, bitter and salty taste was perceived higher. For white wines are perceived sweetness of wine was sour and higher consumer groups. Body was found that wine experts perceive higher. The Second difficulty is when college student wine consumers selected wine got another show to the lack of information, lack of expertise, price, taste, the combination of food. Another wine on difficult points during the wine expert wine recommendations wine selection, price, prejudices then guest it showed a preference and communication, considering that the customer's budget, customer preferences, taste and aroma, the combination of the food and the customer response was configured. Although the criteria have different tastes for wine through college student wine consumers if future studies presented by symbolic reference to the wine tasting, can be self-objectification of subjective criteria subjective wine experts are wine consumers to take advantage of these data.

The purpose of this study was to find out the adjective scales, which will be used in the qualitative sensory evaluation of taste, by collecting and analyzing adjectives of expressing taste of Korean language. For the purpose, we rated the mutual similarities among selected 92 adjectives which include the sense of taste, texture, smell and temperature from foods, and then carried out factor analysis and clustering analysis by using correlation based on the similarities. According to the factor analysis there are more than 10 important factors involved in the linguistic representation of taste including food temperature, texture and smell as well as taste. Also, from the cluster analysis, we found that the adjectives can be clustered with groups of the adjectives representing general taste, negative taste, texture and temperature of food. In addition we analyzed the correlation between the adjectives to represent the generic preference of taste and the adjectives to express individual factors of the preferences that are resulted from cluster analysis. The analysis results could show that we need to restrict the type of foods to find out the meaningful limited number of sensory adjective scales for taste in the future.

Objectives : Cnidii Fructus is prescribed as the fruit of Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cusson or Torilis japonica (Houtt.) DC. in Korea pharmacopoeia. Although there are differences in the composition of useful components, two species have been used without distinction. In order to discriminate them, DNA sequencing and taste pattern analysis were used in this study. Methods : Primers ITS 1 and ITS 4 were used to amplify the intergenic transcribed spacer(ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA from seven T. japonica and six C. monnieri samples. Taste pattern of samples were measured by using taste-sensing system SA402B equipped with five foodstuff sensors(CT0, C00, AAE, CA0, and AE1). The five initial taste(sourness, bitterness, astringency, umami, and saltiness) and three aftertaste(aftertaste of bitterness, astringency, and umami) of two species were compared. Results : According to the results of ITS region sequence analysis, two species showed 94 base pairs differences. The similarity of two sequences was 85%. From the taste pattern analysis, sourness, bitterness, aftertaste of bitterness(aftertaste-B), and umami showed a different pattern. Especially, bitterness and aftertaste-B of C. monnieri were significantly higher than T. japonica. In addition, two species were shown to have two markedly different clustering by these two flavors. Conclusion : T. japonica and C. monnieri were effectively discriminated using DNA sequencing and taste pattern analysis. These methods can be used to identify the origin of traditional medicine in order to maintain therapeutic efficacy.
