This study was conducted to evaluate the prediction of sensory attributes of tobacco smoke by the use of volatile oil components of tobacco. For analytical and sensory evaluations, twelve aging tobaccos (i.e., 3 crop years; 1998, 1999, 2000, and 4 stalk positions) were prepared in flue-cured and burley tobaccos. 61 volatile oil components and 5 sensory attributes such as irritation, impact, after taste, bitter and green were investigated. Irritation of flue-cured tobacco, and irritation and impact of burley tobacco were significantly increased with the ascending stalk position, whereas after taste of burley tobacco was significantly decreased. Significantly positive correlations among irritation, impact, and bitter were observed in flue-cured tobacco. A significantly positive correlation between irritation and bitter was observed, significantly negative correlations between after taste and irritation and between after taste and impact were observed in burley tobacco. Except for green of burley tobacco, all probabilities of multiple linear regression equations between volatile oil components of tobacco and sensory attributes of tobacco smoke were significant(P$\leq$0.05). This study suggests that the multiple linear regression equations may be useful to predict the sensory attributes of tobacco smoke with a few selected volatile oil components of tobacco.

In order to get taste sensation 116 male and 82 female subjects were tested by dropping solution on tongue. Table I shows the number of subjects in each selected age group. none of the subjects complained gastrointestinal discomforts and drinking and smoking habits were moderate (Less than 5 cigarettes a day). Taste sensation was elicited by applying standard tap water solutions of sucrose(sweet), , sodium chloride(salty), citric acid (sour) and quinine (bitter) on tongue. The dour concentrations of each solution are given in Table 2. The test were done about 1 hour after meal . A drop of approximately 0.1 ml of the lowest concentration of solution was placed on tongue. The number of subjects who recognized the taste of concentrations were recorded in each age group. The obtained results were as follows ; 1. The sweet taste sensation of each age group was more sensitive in female than in male. 2. Decreased level of sensitivity to sweet. salty, sour and bitter taste was detected in the 40 year age group. 3. Females tent to be more sensitive to taste than males generally.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the method of making whole Chinese cabbage Kimchi, the family's taste in Kimchi and the reason for disliking the taste of Kimchi in the Taegu area. The results were as follows; 1) Most housewives learned the method of making the Kimchi from their mothers. Method was as follows; First, scatter salt on the whole Chinese cabbage and soak that for 3∼6 hours. After, wash the whole Chinese cabbage 3 times. Then, add red pepper powder, garlic, ginger and salted fermented anchovy as basic seasoning. Be sure to, mix the red pepper powder and salted fermented anchovy until they taste hot and salty. Store the whole Chinese cabbage until they ferment. Afterwards store the whole Chinese cabbage in the refrigerator. 2) It was the whole Chinese cabbage Kimchi that most family members preferred. 3) Among the family members, the old age group preferred newly made Kimchi because of the cool and fresh taste. The adult group preferred fresh taste, also smell and peculiar taste of the seasoning were important. The adolescent group preferred fresh taste and sour taste. 4) It shows that most of the family likes Kimchi, and among the family members, about 25% of the sons and daughters dislike Kimchi. And it shows that all family members dislike salty taste. 5) The older housewives’ Kimchi was preferred over the younger housewives’ Kimchi.

The effect of hot taste preference on selected immune responses was investigated in human peripheral immunocompetent cells. Human lymphocytes and natural killer(NK) cells were prepared at a concentration of 2$\times$$10^{6}$ cells/ml in RPMI-1640 containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Lymphocytes proliferation was determined with the [$^{3}H$]-thymidine pulse for 18hrs after concanavalin A, phytohemagglutinin, Salmonella typhimurium mitogen, or media alone. NK cell activity was measured by cytolysis of $^51Cr$-labeled target cells K562. Serum antibodies levels such as IgM, IgG, IgA were also measured by ELISA method. There was no difference of serum IgM level among the groups, but IgG and IgA levels were greater in the group with hot taste preference than those of the group without hot taste preference. In lymphocytes of the group with hot taste preference there was a greater mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferative responses compared to the group without hot taste preference. In addition, NK cell activity in group with hot taste preference was lower than that of the group without hot taste preference. These results suggest that the eating habit of spicy food containing hot components may affect immune status by modulating selective immunocompetent cells function.

Marsh calm(Corbicular elatior)with a short-term storage in raw and a law-rate of utilization has been increasing the needs to develop new marsh calm processing products for a temporary mass treatment and long-term distribution, Therefore the processing conditions of marsh calm beverage using proteolytic enzyme hydrolysis were investigated. A partial hydrolysis at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour after adding 3% Alcalase as more effective than a hot water extraction to develop taste compounds from the marsh calm. The result of ommission test showed that nucleotides and their related compounds were contributed in the taste of the marsh calm hydrolysates rather than free amino acids. The taste of the hydrolysates was produced by association with these compounds rather than only one compound s the hydrolystes taste differently for the control when one of these compound was omitted. The hydrolysates were fractionated to molecular weight below 500 dalton to eliminate bitter taste and to improve it flavor from the hydrolysates, 0.05% bay leaf was more effective to improve the odor than other herbs.

In order to stabilize the price of fresh ginseng by extension of seasonal variation and marketing structure, and to reduce the cost of production by works of intensive and short term, studies were carried out. As fresh ginseng of 4 years old by the MA and CA was stored for 12 week at 4$^{\circ}C$, samples were collected after every 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 weeks for processing red ginseng. Color and Sensual characteristics on ginseng steamed red for the quality evaluation are summarized as follows. For the time course of storage with red ginseng, which was processed from fresh one after various treatments, L and b values were decreased, however a value was increased. In particular, absorbance was step-wisely increased. Turbidity was somewhat increased, and non-treatment of preservative were shown 2 times higher of absorbance. Extraction ratio of ethanol-soluble extractives slightly increased by the preservation methods, and as storage period was passed. CA storage and preservative treat merit versus MA and non-preservative treatment gave much stability in ginseng quality. In the sensual characters, sour taste and sweet taste were increased, but fresh taste and rice scorched taste were decreased. Bitter taste was not much changed until end of storage. CA was shown smaller differences than MA in the pH change. Addition of preservative extended the storage time.

In order to elucidate whether capsaicin applied topically acts as a pain-producing subastance or as a tastant, neuronal activities of the chorda tympani nerve(CN), lingual nerve(LN), solitary tract nucleus(STN), and trigeminal nucleus(TGN) were recorded while thermal and taste stimuli, and capsaicin were being applied topically, and algesics intra-arterially to the tongue of cats anesthetized with ${\alpha}-chloralsoe$. In addition, the STN neurons were examined after wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase(WGA-HRP) was applied to the CN. The CN fibers responded to taste and thermal stimuli, algesics, and capsaicin. Responses to capsaicin were significantly correlated with those to taste and thermal stimuli. The LN fibers mainly responded to mechanical and thermal stimuli, algesics, and capsaicin. Responses to capsaicin were significantly correlated with those to algesics. The STN neurons responded to taste and thermal stiumli, algesics, and capsaicin. Responses to capsaicin were significantly correlated with those to taste and thermal stiumli in somewhat different fashion from those of the CN fibers. The TGN neurons mainly responded to mechanical stimuli, algesics, and capsaicin. Correlations between responses to capsaicin and any others were not significant. After WGA-HRP was applied to the CN, the STN neurons which receive input from the CN were identified largely in the medio-ventral portion to the solitary tract. These results suggest that capsaicin produce taste as well as pain sensation. Sensory information evoked by capsaicin can be conveyed to the STN, especially medio-ventral portion, via the CN as gustatory information on the one hand, and to the STN or TGN via the LN as noxious information on the other. In addiation, the noxious information may be conveyed to the STN via the CN.

This study was conducted to examine the sensory characteristics and the contents of proximate composition and the free sugars of the Demi-glace with varying quantity of Omija extracts added. First, the qualities of Demi-glace sauces with varying quantity of Omija extracts added are as follows: (1) Proximate composition: The moisture content was 66.10～73.50%, and crude ash content was 1.59～1.89%. As the Omija extracts added increased, moisture content increased, whereas crude ash content decreased. The crude protein content was 6.12～7.95%. Among them, the one with the 2% Omija added showed the highest level of the crude protein. (2) Free sugars contents: In terms of total sugar contents, the control showed 1.32% and Omija sauces showed 1.44～1.55%. Major free sugars analyzed in the order of fructose, oligosaccharide, glucose and sucrose. Second, the results of sensory evaluation of Demi-glace sauces with the different levels of Omija added are as follows: (1) The preference of Demi-glace sauces according to occupation: Students and Cooks liked the one with the 2% Omija added in terms of color, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability. Cooks showed higher preference than students. (2) The preference of 5 tastes: It was found that Demi-glace sauce with the 2% Omija added was the best. The one with the 2% Omija added was suitable in terms of sweet taste and bitter taste and the one with the 3% Omija added was desirable for hot taste and saline taste. In terms of sour taste, the one with 1% Omija added was regarded as the most desirable one. (3) The preference for authentic tastes for Demi-glace sauce: In terms of simple taste, females showed higher preference than males. Demi-glace sauce with the 2% Omija added was found to be the best for savory taste, flavor enhancer taste, simple taste, after taste and overall acceptability. The one with the 1 % Omija added was regarded as the best for soft taste.
