The quality characteristics of the Korean traditional salt-fermented fish sauces, the traditional anchovy sauce (TAS) and the sandlance sauce(TKS) were evaluated comparing to the commercial anchovy sauce (CAS) and sandlance sauce (CKS). The acidity was higher in TKS than in TAS, whereas the contents of VBN, total-N and amino-N were higher levels in TAS. In color values, L and b values in TAS were generally higher than those in TKS, whereas a and ${\Delta}E$ values were higher in TKS. The contents of total free amino acids in TAS and TKS were $12.40\;g\%$ (w/v) and $9.549 g\%$ (w/v), respectively. The contents or six amino acids, alanine, glutamic acid, leucine, isoleucine, valine and Iysine were higher in TAS, whereas the contents of arginine, glutamic acid, leucine, alanine and valine were higher in TKS. Nucleotides such as IMP and hypoxanthine were principal components in both TAS and TKS. The nitrogen related compounds, TMAO, TMA and total creatinine were determined to be $108.8\;mg\%$ (w/v), $60.5\;mg\%$ (w/v), $62.4\;mg\%$ (w/v) in TAS, and those in TKS were $60.1\;mg\%$ (w/v), $24.1\;mg\%$ (w/v), $67.6\;mg\%$ (w/v), respectively.

The effects of bamboo salt on quality of traditional Jeju fermented fish, $Jari-Jeot$ were investigated. Bamboo salt suppressed the activity of microorganism more effectively than salt. pH of $Jari-Jeot$ prepared with both of salt and bamboo salt increased gradually during storage. During fermentation there were little changes in color between salt and bamboo salt fermented $Jari-Jeot$. Salinity did not show obvious differences between samples. Water content increased in salt and bamboo salt fermented $Jari-Jeot$ due to the decrease of salinity. Hypoxanthine was the major component of ATP-related compounds in both salt and bamboo salt fermented $Jari-Jeot$. In $Jari-Jeot$ fermented with salt or bamboo salt, lysine, glutamic acid, proline, alanine, leucine, isoleucine, arginine and histidine were dominant amino acids which marked 69%~74% of total free amino acids, while trace amounts of taurine were detected.

A study was undertaken to examine the effect of the addition of job's tears(Coixlachryma-jobi L.) chungkukjang(soybeanfermented food) and wheat bran powder on quality attributes of pound cakes. Job's tears chungkukjang and wheat bran powder was added to the batter at a ratio of 10, 12.5 and 15% respectively. The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavening activity, the total phenolic compounds content and flavonoid content in job's tears chungkukjang & wheat bran powder and pounds cakes. Antioxidative activity was highly correlated with the total phenolic and total flavonoids contents of job's tears chungkukjang and wheat bran pound cakes respectively(r=0.9671, r=0.8335). The quality characteristics of job's tears chungkukjang powder and wheat bran powder pound cakes were estimated in terms of the specific load volume, hardness, hunter value of crumb and crust and sensory quality of cakes. The specific volume were increased significantly with increasing substitution level of job's tears chungkukjang and wheat bran powder(p

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of stem materials such as black stem on the quality of expended stem and cigarettes. Normal and black stem were separated by tobacco scan and then, those stems were expanded after treating with their respective stem casings. Total sugar, ether extract, ash contents and pH were slightly low in black stem compared with normal stem. However, the number of bacteria and fungi ratio were remarkably higher in black stem than that of normal stem. As compared with normal stems, ratio of rushed stem in rolled process was approximately 2 times higher in black stem with the consequency that the filling capacity of black stem was decreased. The ratio of large particles (> 3.35 mm) of expanded black stem showed decreasing tendency and small particles rate (1.40 mm <) was increased compared with normal stem. When expanded stems were prepared using stem containing 5 levels (0, 10, 20, 30 and 100 %) of black stem, the filling capacity was decreased and static burning rate was significantly decreased with increasing expanded black stem rate. However, the weight and hardness of cigarettes were slightly increased with increasing expanded black stem rate. The contents of phenol compounds, aromatic amines and carbonyl compounds in the cigarette mainstream smoke from the cigarette which was manufactured with various ratio of expended black stem, were gradually increased with increasing expanded black stem rates. Also, the cytotoxicity and the mutagenicity of the TPM were significantly increased with increasing expanded black stem rate. The sensory test result showed that cigarettes blended with 10 and 30 % level of black stem rate was exhibited significantly high sensory attributions such as off-taste, impact, hotness, bitterness and irritation as compared with cigarette blended with normal stem, while smoke fullness and cleanness were slightly decreased with increasing expanded black stem rates. The number of brown spots on cigarettes paper was 2 to 3 times high in cigarettes containing black stem than that of cigarette made from normal stem and were high with increasing black stem rate. The overall assessment in this study suggest, that black stem should not be used because of bad quality of expanded stem and high toxicological activity of cigarette mainstream smoke.

Bamboo leaf has many nutritional and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, and it can be used for various foods application. Fermentation is one of appropriate processes that can affect the nutrition, taste and flavor, and antioxidant activities of foods. In this study, a representative domestic bamboo tree (Sasa coreana Nakai) leaves were fermented by Bacillus subtilis KCCM 11315 and the changes of carbohydrates, minerals, amino acids, and phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities were investigated before and after fermentation. During the fermentation period, firstly, the leaf was softened and turned to brown. The constituent carbohydrates were slightly increased from $432.09{\pm}5.38mg/g$ to $458.42{\pm}7.39mg/g$, and free sugars decreased by 95% from $28.12{\pm}2.03mg/g$ to $1.4{\pm}0.14mg/g$. Mineral was $20987.5{\pm}345.1{\mu}g/mL$, which was slightly increased after the fermentation compared to $20804.1{\pm}364.6{\mu}g/mL$ before that. The total amino acids were increased to $73881.94{\pm}137.59mg/100g$ compared to $58464.51{\pm}109.12mg/100g$ before fermentation, and free amino acids decreased by more than 85% from $32782.67{\pm}92.49mg/100g$ to $4827.83{\pm}19.76mg/100g$. Total polyphenols content (TPC) increased from $25.51{\pm}1.04GAE^*mg/g$ to $35.34{\pm}0.91GAE^*mg/g$, and the total flavonoid content (TFC) increased to $80.57{\pm}0.22QE^*mg/g$ compared to $69.64{\pm}0.26QE^*mg/g$. The total catechin content (TCC) of TFC was decreased from $69.64{\pm}0.94mg/L$ to $58.23{\pm}0.76mg/L$. The DPPH radical $IC_{50}$ of bamboo leaves decreased to $2624.85{\pm}37.03{\mu}g/mL$ and the ABTS radical $IC_{50}$ of $187.26{\pm}4.78{\mu}g/mL$ was increased after the fermentation. These results could be used as essential nutritional data before developing processed food products using the bamboo leaf.

In this study, the effective treatment reducing geosmin and dosage of PAC was suggested when taste & odor compounds flow in. The removal efficiency of geosmin was evaluated with types of chlorination. In case of low geosmin concentration below 25 ng/L, removal efficiency of geosmin was estimated at 46% by combined treatment of pre and intermediate-chlorination. But, in the exclusive intermediate-chlorination treatment, removal efficiency of geosmin was increased to 57%. In the medium geosmin concentration (25~79 ng/L), removal efficiency of geosmin was estimated at 59% by combined treatment. But, in the exclusive intermediate-chlorination treatment, removal efficiency of geosmin was increased to 87%. When high geosmin concentration above 80 ng/L flows in, removal efficiency of geosmin was estimated at 69% by combined treatment. However, in the exclusive intermediate-chlorination treatment, removal efficiency of geosmin was increased to 95%. Then, the exclusive intermediate-chlorination has an important effect on removal of geosmin. After correlation of geosmin concentration and dosage of PAC was analyzed, the coefficient of determination was estimated at 0.96. And, the proper PAC dosage chart was proposed. Also, at a initial occurrence of geosmin, when the combined treatment by intermediate-chlorination and PAC was applied, particle-bound geosmin should be removed continuously. Finally, it is proved that the combined treatment was effective to remove the geosmin by threshold levels as well as to reduce the dosage of PAC.

ATP related compounds, ammonia, VBN, pH and sensory quality of shrimps were determined to evaluate quality changes during iced and frozen storage. ATP related compounds were determined by HPLC, ammonia by ammonia ion specific electrode, VBN by micro-diffusion method, pH by pH meter, sensory quality by multiple comparison test with 30 panelists. K value of ice stored shrimps gradually increased to 20% for 8 days, and then increased more rapidly, whereas that of frozen stored shrimps increased slowly for 7 months. Ammonia contents in ice stored shrimps increased slowly for 6 days and then rapidly after 8 days storage, whereas that in frozen stored shrimps increased slowly for 8 months. VBN contents in ice stored shrimps increased slowly for 10 days and then rapidly after 12 days. VBN contents in frozen stored shrimps slightly increased for 6 months. Sensory scores of taste and color of shrimps marked lowered values after 6 days storage in ice, and after 6 and 7 months frozen storage, respectively. Sensory flavor scores of stored shrimps had significant correlations with K value, ammonia, pH and VBN. These results indicated that ammonia contents in stored shrimps, rapidly determined by an ammonia electrode, could be used as a quality index of shrimps.

The changes in life style these days appear in many ways. Many housewives turn away from home preparation of the time consuming traditional foods, such as Andong Sikhe. The importance, however, of succeeding the traditional cuisines is getting appreciated widely now a days. A traditional Andong Sikhe in Korea, was prepared and fermented at $5^{\circ}C$ in order to analyze the taste and flavor compounds. Major flavor components were identified as camphene, sabinene, 1-(1,5-dimethyl-4-hexyl)-4-methyl-benzene, ${\alpha}-zingibirene$, farnesene, 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methyl-phenol, ${\beta}-sesquiphellandrene$, calalene, tetradecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid and 9,12-octadecanoic acid by GC and GC/MS. Lactic acid and increased from 0.49 mg/100 g in the initial stage to 19.37 mg/100 g at the 6 days of storage. The pH of product decresed to 3.7 from 5.4 after the 6 days of storage but the total acidty reached to 0.41% during fermentation and storage at $5^{\circ}C$.

A recently developed Chinese cabbage cultivar, Shinhong Ssam, was cultured under different light conditions at a plant factory to evaluate effects of light on the production of functional compounds. The effects of the following combinations of red (R), blue (B), and white (W) LED light were compared to that of fluorescent light: R+B, R+W, and R+B+W. Under R+B light, the Chinese cabbage failed to grow well. In contrast, under R+W, R+B+W, and fluorescent light conditions, cabbages had similar growth rates. Cyanidin, the only anthocyanidin detected, accumulated in cabbages under LED conditions to levels more than 2-fold of that in cabbages grown under fluorescent light. Phenolic acid and flavonol levels varied subtly, whereas caffeic acid was found to be between 70- and 160-fold greater in LED-illuminated cabbages than in those exposed to fluorescent light. The amounts of free amino acids and sugars that affect the taste of vegetables were greater in the cabbages exposed to LED light than in those grown under fluorescent light conditions. In conclusion, R+W LED light produced Shinhong Ssam with greater nutritional value than those grown under R+B+W LED and fluorescent lights.
