The effectiveness of various additives in reduction of an unpleasant odor and inhibition of Bacillus cereus growth in Cheonggukjang (CKJ) was investigated. Sensory evaluations of unpleasant odor intensity and taste preference for CKJ were conducted with a 5-point scale. Raw CKJ was rated to have the highest unpleasant odor intensity, followed by CKJ-salt, CKJ-wood vinegar salt, CKJ-red pepper seed oil, and CKJ-bamboo salt in the given order. The test panel had a greater preference for CKJ-red pepper seed oil than for the other CKJ products. The addition of bamboo salt to CKJ was the most effective in inhibition of B. cereus growth in comparison to the other three additives. Volatile compounds in CKJ and CKJ-bamboo salt were identified by GC/MS analysis. 1-Ethoxy-1-methoxy-ethane was responsible for the pleasant odor and its level significantly increased in CKJ-bamboo salt. Consequently, adding bamboo salt to CKJ not only masked and reduced the unpleasant odor, but also inhibited B. cereus growth in CKJ.

Evidence shows there are flavonoid and polyphenol compounds in Ulmus cortex which has excellent antioxidant, anticancer and antimicrobial properties. This study summarizes our findings on effects of Ulmus cortex extracts(UDE) on quality characteristics of bread and the changes of microbial counts during storage. Dough yield and specific loaf volume of bread decreased significantly because the amount of UDE increased. Lightness of bread surface, redness of crumb and yellowness of crust were significantly increased. Texture evaluation showed that hardness was the highest in the bread prepared with 30% UDE. Sensory evaluation showed that odor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability were the best in bread which was made with 10% UDE. At the beginning of the period of storage, there were not significant differences of microbial cell count as increasing UDE, but significant decreasing was observed after passing 6 days. A negative correlation was generally observed between the sensory and mechanical properties. The results of total microbial count show that adding UDE in processing bread extend bread's storage time.

This present work was aimed to analyse characteristics of fermentation and aging of Korean traditional cheongju prepared by adding of different brewing water. The three different mashes were used for fermentation and maturation. The cheongju(A) was prepared without adding of brewing water in two stage mashing. Cheongju(B) and cheongju(C) were made with adding of 1 liter and 2 liter brewing water in two stage mashing respectively whereas the cheongju(B) and cheongju(C) showed higher fermentation ability than that of cheongju(A) regarding to pH, ethanol, specific gravity and sugar concentration(brix). In terms of volatile compounds content after six months aging, cheongju(A and B) prepared by adding brewing water showed the higher content of ethyl acetate than that of cheong(C) and the concentrations were maintained during the aging period. In addition, the content of fusel oil(n-propanol, i-butanol, n-butanol, i-bmyl alcohol, n-bmyl alcohol)indicated similar pattern as ethyl acetate. The organic acid of cheongju B(4873.46 mg/l) and C(4963.12 mg/l) also indicated the higher content than that of cheongju A(4661.47 mg/l). In conclusion, cheongju B and C prepared by adding brewing water in two stage mashing showed better quality and taste than that of cheongju A.

As part of studies on the high quality dunggule tea, made of Polygonatum odoratum root with different growth year were analyzed for their flavor compounds. The quality attributes related to flavors were compared between raw and roasted samples which were treated at $130^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. Free sugars in the roots were mainly composed of fructose ($3.59{\sim}4.83%,\;d.b.$), sucrose ($1.78{\sim}2.49%$), and glucose ($1.60{\sim}1.80%$). Threonine ($1,239{\sim}1,444\;mg/100g,\;d.b.$), arginine ($589{\sim}689$), histidine ($289{\sim}370$) were three major free amino acids. The root grown for three years showed the highest content in total free sugar and amino acids (p<0.05). There was negligible difference in proximate composition and Hunter's color parameter depending on the growth year of the roots. However, sensory scores on color, taste and aroma were highest in 3 years' root, which is found most suitable for the preparation of dunggule tea. The roasting of 3 years old root significantly reduced the content of fructose and sucrose (p<0.01). It caused most apparent changes in the decreasing amount of threonine and in the decreasing rate of lysine, showing the significant decrease in total free amino acid content (p<0.01).

Processing conditions of whole sardine into modified fish sauce were investigated. Thawed and chopped sardine was homogenized and hydrolyzed using commercial proteolytic enzymes such as complex enzyme-2000($2.18{\cdot}10^4U/g solid$) and alcalase($1.94{\cdot}10^4\;U/g solid$) in a cylindrical vessel with 4 baffles and 6-bladed impeller. Optimal pH, enzyme concentration and temperature for the hydrolysis with complex enzyme-2000 were 7.0, $7\%$ (W/W) and $52^{\circ}C$, and-those with alcalase were 8.0, $6\%$ (W/W) and $60^{\circ}C$. In both cases, the reasonable amount of water for homogenization, agitation speed and hydrolyzing time were $100\%$ (W/W), 100 rpm and 210 minutes. Thermal treatment of the filtered hydrolysate at $90^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours with $6\%$ of invert sugar was adequated to inactivation of the enzymes and pasteurization of the hydrolysate. Flavor, taste and color of the hydrolysate were improved during the heating process in which the browning products might participate. The content of free amino nitrogen in the fish sauce seasoned with $15\%$ of table salt was ca. $1,640 mg\%$. Yield of the fish sauce based on the contents of proteinous and free amino nitrogen in the raw whole sardine was ca. $86\%$, and ca. $96\%$ of these compounds of the fish sauce was in the form of free amino nitrogen. The pH, salinity and histamine content of the fish sauce were $6.1\~6.3,\;14.2\~14.3\%$ and less than $10\;mg\%$.

This study analyzed the taste components of dorsal muscle and fin muscle collected from olive flounder cultured with extruded pellet (EP) compared with those of olive flounder cultured with raw fish moist pellet (MP) as a control. The olive flounder in this study were cultured for 10 months with either the formulated extrude pellets (FEP), commercial extruded pellets (CEP) or the MP feed, and the average weight was 1.15 kg. The major nucleotides and related compounds in the dorsal muscles of the fish fed with MP, CEP and FEP diets were AMP and IMP. The fin muscle of the olive flounder contained the largest amounts of IMP($5.91{\mu}mol/g$). The K value of the dorsal muscle in olive flounder fed with MP, CEP and FEP showed 9.63%, 9.83% and 5.84%, respectively. The free amino acids in the dorsal muscle of olive flounder showed significantly differences in the composition depending on the feed, but the distribution of free amino acids showed similar patterns. Among free amino acids, taurine showed the highest content in all the experimental groups, and the asparagine and citrulline contents were significantly higher in the groups fed with CEP and FEP than in the group fed with MP. The significant differences were observed in the contents of specific free amino acids in dorsal muscle and fin flesh depending on the feed for cultured olive flounder.

This study investigated quality characteristics of Aster scaber (color; firmness; vitamin C, chlorophyll and phenolic contents; and sensory properties) under blanching conditions of $90^{\circ}C$/25 min, $95^{\circ}C$/16 min, and $100^{\circ}C$/6 min, and salt concentrations of 0%, 1% and 2%. The contents of vitamin C, chlorophyll and total phenolic compounds, and firmness decreased by 39.5-60.3%, 26.2-31.5%, 45.6-50.1% and 50.7-51.1%, respectively, after blanching. For these parameters, treatment with 1% salt was 7.1-30.2%, 9.2-12.2%, 35.9-52.0% and 2.7-6.8% relative to the control, and drip water could be prevented by 3.3-23.4%. Results for treatment with 2% salt were (respectively) 22.7-34.1%, 10.4-20.7%, 55.5-80.4% and 13.8-17.3%, and drip water could be prevented by 23.9-27.3%. These results showed that 2% salt treatment had a greater effect on preservation of quality characteristics than 1% treatment and the control. With respect to sensory evaluation, the 2% treatment had lower overall acceptability than the 1% treatment because of the saltier taste. However, the 1% treatment was more acceptable than the control. The optimal blanching condition was found to be $100^{\circ}C$/6 min and 1% salt.

The effects of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of coffee beverage were investigated. Coffee powder (4 g) was soaked into 80 mL distilled water and extracted for 15, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, or 300 sec at $60^{\circ}C$ in an ultrasonic bath (40 kHz, 300 W). Hot-water extraction (HE) at $80^{\circ}C$ for 300 sec was used as a control. Content of soluble solids in coffee beverage prepared by UAE (60~300 sec) was same or higher than those of HE, however, no significant differences were observed among the four beverages extracted for more than 120 sec. Clarity and browning index of beverage prepared by UAE (15 sec) and by HE were significantly higher and lower, respectively, compared to those of the other. Content of phenolic compounds was lower and higher respectively, in beverage prepared by UAE (15 sec, 30 sec) and UAE (60~300 sec) than by HE. DPPH radical scavenging activity was highest in beverage prepared by UAE (15 sec) and HE. Sensory evaluation showed that color, aroma, taste, and overall acceptability were rated with the best score for beverage prepared by UAE (15 sec) and the worst score for beverage prepared UAE (120~300 sec). Therefore, ultrasound-assisted extraction can be used for improving quality of coffee beverage.

Persimmon contains high levels of vitamins and phenolic compounds, as well as soluble solids, necessary for the fermentation of persimmon wine. Co-fermentation of persimmon wine was carried out using a mixed culture of Pichia anomala JK04, a Korean indigenous yeast that improves wine quality and flavor, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Fermivin, an industrial wine yeast, in the following ratios: 9:1 (v/v), 5:5 (v/v), 1:9 (v/v) and 0:10 (v/v). During fermentation, the alcohol contents increased more slowly in samples of mixed culture than in samples of the single culture of S. cerevisiae Fermivin. The alcohol contents of all samples reached 12~13% (v/v) after 15 days. All samples of the mixed culture showed greater variety in flavor and taste than S. cerevisiae Fermivin only. In the sensory evaluation, mixed culture samples had higher scores in terms of flavor and overall preference than the single culture samples. Therefore, P. anomala JK04 is thought to improve the wine flavor of Korean domestic persimmon wine.
