A total of 48 different volatile oils were identified form P. brevitarsis larvae by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Acids (48.67%) were detected as the major group in P. brevitarsis larvae comprising the largest proportion of the volatile compounds, followed by esters (19.84%), hydrocarbons (18.90%), alcohols (8.37%), miscellaneous (1.71%), aldehydes (1.35%) and terpenes (1.16%). The major volatile constituents were 9-hexadecenoic acid (16.75%), 6-octadecenoic acid (14.88%) and n-hexadecanoic acid (11.06%). The composition of fatty acid was also determined by GC analysis and 16 fatty acids were identified. The predominant fatty acids were oleic acid ($C_{18:1}$, 64.24%) followed by palmitic acid ($C_{16:0}$, 15.89%), palmitoleic acid ($C_{16:1}$, 10.43%) and linoleic acid ($C_{18:2}$, 4.69%) constituting more than 95% of total fatty acids. The distinguished characteristic of the fatty acid profile of P. brevitarsis larvae was the high proportion of unsaturated fatty acid (80.54% of total fatty acids) versus saturated fatty acids (19.46% of total fatty acids). Furthermore, small but significant amounts of linoleic, linolenic and ${\gamma}$-linolenic acids bestow P. brevitarsis larvae with considerable nutritional value. The novel findings of the present study provide a scientific basis for the comprehensive utilization of the insect as a nutritionally promising food source and a possibility for more effective utilization.

Changes in taste components of Backilju, an traditional alcoholic beverage of Korea, were investigated. Ethanol(17%) was the most abundant, and then isoamylalcohol(23mg%) and methanol(8mg%) were also detected in a small amount in Backilju. Major non-volatile organic acids were lactic and malic acid, followed by citric, fumaric and succinic acid. Arginine, phenylalanine and glutamic acid were major free amino acids and essential amino acid content was 230∼560 mg%, which was 45∼48% of total free amino acids. The major fatty acid of total lipid was palmitic acid(37∼43%). It has been found that the Backilju contained more free amino acids and alcohols than other Korean Yokjus.

Total mixed ration (TMR) including concentrate diet and roughage together have been used for the ruminant animal. Relatively high concentrations of moisture and water soluble carbohydrate are representative feature of TMR. Those moisture and water can also provide a niche for bacterial growth. Therefore, a possible fermentation of TMR induced by micro-organism is generally accepted. The present study hypothesized that different lactic acid bacteria could alter fermentation of TMR and subsequently rumen fermentation. Three lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus paracasei (A), L. plantarum (B) and L. parabuchneri (C), were employed and 7 treatments under full factorial design were compared with control without inoculation. TMR for dairy cow was used. Significant alterations by treatments were detected at lactic acid and butyric acid contents in TMR (p<0.05). Treatment AC (mixture of A and C) and BC (mixture of B and C) showed great lactate production. Great butyrate production was found at treatment C. At in vitro rumen fermentation, treatments B, C and AB (mixture of A and B) showed significantly great total gas production (p<0.05). All treatments except treatments B and AB, showed less dry matter digestibility, significantly (p<0.05). Total volatile fatty acid production at treatment AC was significantly greater than others (p<0.05). In individual volatile fatty acid production, treatment AB and AC showed great acetate and propionate productions, significantly (p<0.05). This study investigated correlation between organic acid production in TMR and rumen volatile fatty acid production. And it was found that butyric acid in TMR had significant negative correlation with acetate, propionate, total volatile fatty acid, AP ratio and dry matter digestibility.

This study was carried out to elucidate the utility of fusant for shortening the ripening time of imitation processed cheese. L. bulgaricus exhibited the highest protease and lactase activity and L. helveticus revealed the highest lipase activity. Fusant was shown to be high in the activity of protease and lactase. The total volatile free fatty acid produced by the cheese treated with L. helveticus was markedly increased after four ripening days and was gently increased after nine ripening days. However, L. bulgaricus significantly increased the total volatile free fatty acid between four and nine ripening days. In the case of fusant, the amount of total volatile free fatty acid was observed to increase at a constant rate relative to the ripening time. In free fatty acid production at different ripening times, L. bulfaricus generated caproic acid and caprilic acid abundantly while it produced a poor quantity of capric acid, lauric acid, and myristic acid. In the cheese sample treated with L. helveticus, the amount of caproic acid and capylic acid was on increase as the ripening time increased. The amount of caproic acid and caprylic acid produced by fusant was less than that produced by the other two starters. In the panel sensory evaluation, the flavor intensity and preference increased as the ripening time increased. The cheese sample treated with fusant showed the highest flavor intensity at 7 days, whereas cheese treated with L. helveticus exhibited the highest flavor intensity at 15 or 30 days. The cheese treated with L. helveticus showed the highest preference at 7 days, but cheese treated with fusant exhibited the highest preference at 30 days.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplemental unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) on fermentation characteristics, especially on gas production, cellulose degradation and volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration by mixed ruminal microorganisms. In order to attain this objective, unsaturated fatty acids including oleic acid (C 18:1), linoleic acid (C18:2) and arachidonic acid (C22:4) were added at varying level. Mixed ruminal microbes used in this experiment were obtained from the rumen of a cannulated Holstein cow. Medium pH values after 7 d incubation were significantly affected by type and level of unsaturated fatty acids (p<0.01). All of UFA inhibited total gas production, and especially treatment of arachidonic acid at the levels of 0.01% gave the lowest gas. production after 7 d incubation (p<0.01). Comparison of the population of protozoa revealed that UFA did not have any significant effect on the total protozoa number. The addition of UFA did not effect dry matter degradation. Volatile fatty acid (VFA) composition of the culture was influenced little by UFA, although the considerable amount of iso-type VFA were detected in UFA supplemented incubations. The ratio of acetic acids to propionic acids, however, was lower than control in all the treatments after 7 d incubation (p<0.01).

The compositions of non-volatile organic acids, mineral, fiber and fatty acids of leaf mustard were investigated. Non-volatile organic acid contents were higher in leaf than in leaf stalk. Of non-volatile organic acids assayed malic acid was the most abundant in both leaf (79.1 mg%) and leaf stalk (46.4mg%), followed by L-ascorbic, oxalic, citric and succinic acids. Mineral contents were also higher in leaf than in leaf stalk. Both leaf and leaf stalk contained calcium most, followed by magnesium, sodium, iron, zinc and copper. It has also been found that leaf mustard contains more iron than any other Cruciferous vegetables reported. The major fatty acid of total lipid was $\alpha$-linolenir acid (63.2% in leaf, 55.3% in leaf stalk). The ratios of polyun-saturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids (P/S ratio) were 4.1 in leaf and 2.9 in leaf stalk. The content of pectic substances, in terms of alcohol-insoluble solid, of leaf was 9.4% which was 1.4-fold higher than that of leaf stalk. Of pectic substances, hot soluble pectins (HWSP) were present most and followed by sodium hexametaphosphate soluble (HXSP) and HCI soluble pectins (HSP). Total dietary fiber content of mustard leaf was 2.68% and in general, higher content of total dietary fiber than leaf had. Neutral detergent fiber content was higher than acid detergent fiber, and cellulose was higher than hemicellulose by 2.1-fold in leaf stalk.

To investigate the flavor components of sun-dried ray, Raja porasc, the contents of such as free amino acids, nucleotides and their related compounds, total creatinine, betaine, TMAO, fatty adds, and volatile compounds were analysed. The content of total free amino acids was 1773.3mg% on dry basis and the abundant amino acids were taurine, lysine, leucine, alanine, glycine, glutamic acid, proline, and valine in order and these amino acids accounted for 80% of total free amino acids in sun-dried ray. In the nucleotides and their related compounds, hypoxanthine was the most abundant. Ammonia-N was the most abundant, resulting 26.4% of extractive nitrogen which was 1965.6mg% and next free amino acid-N, total creatinine-N, and nucleotide-N in order. In the fatty acid composition of total lipid and neutral lipid, polyenoic acid was abundant holding 42.0%, 45.3% respectively. In phospholipid, the ratio of polyenoic acid and saturated fatty acid were similar to 39% respectively. The predominant fatty acids in total lipid, neutral lipid, and phospholipid were $C_{16:0},\;C_{22:6},\;C_{18:1},\;C_{18:0},\;and\;C_{20:4}$. In the volatile compounds, isocaproic acid, caproic acid, isobutyric acid, and butyric acid were the major portion of the 8 kinds of volatile fatty acids detected and 2-butanone, pentanal, and 2-methylpropanal were the major portion of the 8 kinds of volatile carbonyl compounds detected and also trimethylamine was the major portion of 2 kinds of volatile amines detected. It was presumed from the results that the reciprocal action of taste compounds such as free amino acids, nucleotides and their related compounds total creatinine, betaine, and TMAO and volatile compounds such as volatile carbonyl compounds, volatile fatty acids, volatile amines, and ammonia played an important role for the characteristics of flavor of sun-dried ray.

Biological characteristics of 5 Zanthoxylum schinifolium (Zs) fruits such as Z1 (early August), Z2 (middle August), Z3 (middle September), Z4 (early October) and Z5 (middle October) according to harvesting time were evaluated. As fruits ripened, average weight of Zs increased from 4.8mg (Z1) to 50.7mg (Z5), while moisture contents decreased from 74.6% (Z1) to 55.2% (Z5). Crude fat contents of the fruits during ripening increased from 1% (Z1) to 10.6% (Z5). The major fatty acids in Zs were palmitic (C16:0), palmitoleic (C16:1), oleic (C18:1), and linoleic (C18:2) acids. Linoleic acid (C18:2) was a main fatty acid in Z1 and Z2, whereas oleic acid (C18:1) was found as a main one in the other Zs. The ratio of unsaturated fatty acid to total fatty acids increased from 60% (Z1) to 80% (Z3~Z5) during ripening. Among ripening stages, Z4 had the highest contents of total fatty acids ($3,355{\mu}g/g$) and total unsaturated fatty acids ($2,753{\mu}g/g$). Forty six volatile compounds in Zs were also identified. The major volatile compounds were ${\alpha}-pinene$, ${\beta}-myrcene$, ${\beta}-ocimene$, 2-nonanone, estragole, 2-undecanone, and ${\beta}-caryophyllene$. Major volatile components of Z1 were ${\beta}-ocimene$ (20.8 peak area %) and ${\alpha}-pinene$ (9.7 peak area %). In Z2, estragole (30.1 peak area %) was a main volatile compound, but the contents of ${\alpha}-pinene$ (0.4 peak area %), ${\beta}-myrcene$ (0.3 peak area %), and ${\beta}-ocimene$ (0.6 peak area %) were lower than those in Z1. Especially, estragole used as perfumes and as a food additive for flavor was drastically increased to 91.2 (Z3) and 92% (Z4) as fruits ripened.

As one of the sensory factors for characterizing food quality, volatile compounds have been particularly contributed to sensory evaluation of fermented sea foods in Korea. But no chemical investigation of the volatile compounds of fermented anchovy as one of the most favored fermented sea food products has been reported. Accordinglry, for a series study of processing of low salt fermented sea foods, changes in volatile compounds and fatty acid composition of fermented anchovy with low salt contents ($4\%$ of salt contents) were experimented fermentation comparing with conventional fermented anchovy ($20\%$ of salt contents). Total lipid of raw anchovy was composed of $77.6\%$ of neutral lipid, $22.1\%$ of phospholipid and $0.3\%$ of glycolipid. And polyenoic acid was held $39.8\%$ of fatty acid composition of total lipid and the major fatty acids in those were $C_{22:6},\;C_{20:5}$. During the fermentation of anchovy saturated fatty acid ($C_{16:0},\;C_{18:0},\;C_{l4:0}$) and monoenoic acid ($C_{16:1},\;C_{18:1}$) increased while polyenoic acid ($C_{22:6},\;C_{20:5}$) decreased greatly. Thirty-eight kinds of volatile component from the whole volatile compounds obtained from fermented anchovy after 90 days fermentation were identified, and composed of some alcohols (8 kinds), carbonyl compounds (9 kinds), hydrocarbons (8 kinds) and fatty acids (8 kinds). During fermentation 8 kinds of volatile acids, 5 kinds of amines, 9 kinds of carbonyl compounds were also detected. Those volatile acids such as acetic acid, isovaleric acid, propionic acid, n-butyric acid were the major portion of total volatile fatty acids of 60 days fermented anchovy prepared with low salt contents. On the other hand, carbonyl compounds such as ethanal, 3-methyl butanal, hexanal, 2-methyl propanal were the major ones, while TMA held the most part of volatile amines in fermented anchovy with low salt contents after 60 days. Conclusively, there was little difference in composition of volatile components, but merely a little difference in content of those between low salt fermented anchovy and conventional fermented ones.
