Contents of formed higher alcohols did not change about at 20 ppm of total nitrogen, but the contents were most at 200 ppm of total nitrogen especially in iso-amyl alcohol, and the contents showed decrease above at 400 ppm, greatly. Higher alcohols formation were high content at pH 4.0, but the contents were increase according to the condition of glucose and sucrose much. The formation of higher alcohols showed less in fermented condition of no elimination sample than in eliminated a mineral in each. Contents of higher alcohols were less in eliminated sample of biotine and inositol than in control, but the contents were higher than the others, and the contents showed especially high in eliminated nicotinic acid and thiamine. Higher alcohols formation were most at the content of SO\ulcorner in 20 ppm of them. The formation of higher alcohols showed more in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was form more in higher alcohols than Saccharomyces bayanus of two yeast strains.

In order to evaluate the characteristics and quality of various Korean alcoholic beverage, the higher alcohols profiles were analyzed by gas-chromatography. Total amount of the higher alcohols depended on the type and class of the liquors. Gaschromatographic analysis showed that the type of Gin, Rum and Vodka except for SB contain n-propanol mainly. The amount of the higher alcohols determined was proportional to the content of the originally fermented liquor in the whisky. The difference in the ratio of iso-amyl alcohol content to that of iso-butanol may be useful as a parameter in evaluating the class of the whisky.

This study was conducted to investigate the use of sugar alcohols (sorbitol, erythritol, and xylitol) as alternative sweeteners for replacing sucrose in Yukwa (traditional Korean oil-puffed rice snack). The moisture contents of Bandegi (dried Yukwa dough) and Yukwa containing sugar alcohols were higher than that of control (containing only sucrose). The microstructures of control and Bandegi containing sugar alcohols showed uniformly and finely distributed air holes. Expansion ratio and oil absorption of Yukwa containing sorbitol and 30% erythritol were higher than those of control. Appearance and cross section of control and Yukwa containing sorbitol, 30% erythritol, and 30% xylitol showed a good shape. The lightness (L) of control was significantly lower than Yukwa containing sugar alcohols, whereas redness (a) and yellowness (b) were higher than those in Yukwa containing sugar alcohols. Hardness of Yukwa containing sugar alcohols was significantly lower than that of control, and that of Yukwa containing sorbitol was the lowest. Peak number of Yukwa containing sugar alcohols was significantly lower than that of control, and that of Yukwa containing 60% erythritol and 60% xylitol was the lowest among all samples. In the sensory evaluation, color of control was deepest, whereas that of Yukwa containing 60% xylitol was lightest. Volume and air hole uniformity of Yukwa containing 60% erythritol and 60% xylitol were inferior than those of other samples. Sweetness of Yukwa containing sugar alcohols was lower than that of control, whereas oily flavor was stronger. Hardness of Yukwa containing sugar alcohols was lower than that of control, and Yukwa containing xylitol showed the lowest hardness among the samples. Crispness of Yukwa containing sugar alcohols was lower than that of control. There were no significant differences in overall acceptability between control and Yukwa containing 30% sorbitol and 30% erythritol. Overall, sorbitol and erythritol were appropriate as a 30% replacement for sucrose when preparing Yukwa.

This study was conducted to investigate the use of sugar alcohols as alternative sweeteners for replacing sucrose in sponge cake. The sponge cakes were prepared with only sucrose or a 50% replacement of sucrose with various sugar alcohols (erythritol, sorbitol, and xylitol). The specific gravity of cake batter containing only sucrose was significantly higher and the viscosity was significantly lower than those containing sugar alcohol (p<0.001). Among sugar alcohols, xylitol was the most similar to sucrose. The thermal characteristics, as assessed by differential scanning calorimetry, showed that sucrose delayed gelatinization of cake batter more than sugar alcohol, as the onset temperature and the peak temperature of cake batter containing only sucrose were higher than those containing sugar alcohol. The moisture content of cake containing sorbitol was the highest and that containing only sucrose was the lowest among cakes. The specific volume of cakes containing only sucrose and xylitol were higher and the baking loss rate of those were lower than other sugar alcohols. The volume and symmetry index of cake containing only sucrose were the highest among cakes (p<0.001), and xylitol was similar to sucrose for the above indices. The redness (a) and yellowness (b) values of crust containing only sucrose were significantly higher than those containing sugar alcohols (p<0.001). The a and b values of crumb containing erythritol were the lowest among cakes, showing a pale yellowish color. The microstructure, as assessed by scanning electron microscopy, showed that the cake containing only sucrose had more uniformly and finely distributed pores and a smoother cross section than that containing sugar alcohols. Cake containing xylitol was similar to cake containing only sucrose. Hardness, chewiness, and gumminess of cake containing only sucrose were higher than those containing sugar alcohols, whereas the adhesiveness of cakes containing sugar alcohols were higher than those containing only sucrose (p<0.01). Among sugar alcohols, xylitol was the most similar to sucrose in textural properties. In a sensory quality test, the tenderness and moistness of cakes containing sorbitol and erythritol were higher than those containing only sucrose and xylitol. The overall acceptance of cakes containing xylitol and only sucrose were higher than those containing sorbitol and erythritol (p<0.001). Thus, xylitol is more appropriate as a 50% replacement for sucrose than erythritol and sorbitol when preparing sponge cake.

This study was to evaluate the characteristics of bread and the rheology of flour dough containing sugar alcohols, after addition of fructose. In the farinogram tests, the addition of sugar alcohol changed the stability and mixing tolerance index. The stability and mixing tolerance index of farinogram increased as the amount of sugar alcohols increased. Amylograms revealed that the increase in gelatinization temperature and maximum viscosity of wheat flour dough with sugar alcohols was more than that of controls. Extensogram of dough with sugar alcohols exhibited higher extensibility and resistance. After fermentation treatment, the dough volumes prepared with only sorbitol and xylitol were lesser than those prepared after addition of fructose. The volume of loaf and specific volume of bread containing sugar alcohols with fructose significantly increased. The breads containing sugar alcohols showed greater taste, flavor and texture scores, for breads prepared with either sorbitol with fructose or xylitol with fructose, compared to breads without fructose. Overall preference scores by sensory evaluation of bread containing sugar alcohols with fructose were higher than bread with only sugar alcohols. These results indicate that the addition of fructose improves the flavor of bread containing sugar alcohols.

Burning rate of immobilized methyl and ethyl alcohols on ceramic balls was studied. Experiments were performed by burning methyl, ethyl alcohols immobilized on sands (particle size 0.35mm) and ceramic balls (particle size 1-5mm) to measure mass burning rate, height burning rate and combustion temperature. The longer time from ignition to extinguishment was resulted from the larger particle size of ceramic balls and the smaller size of ceramic balls exhibited the higher mass burning rate. Of alcohols tested the relative magnitude of facilitation of combustion was methyl ＞ ethyl. Combustion temperature of alcohols, without regard to the types of alcohols, was not increased with smaller ceramic balls(up to 3mm of particle size). However, with larger ceramic balls, combustion temperatare of alcohols was increased by 40-50$^{\circ}$ and the highest combustion temperatare was obtained with sands (particle size 0.35mm).

Combustion characteristics of immobilized methyl, ethyl and propyl alcohols on sands were studied. Experiments were performed by burning methyl, ethyl and propyl alcohols Immobilized on sands (particle size 0.1~5mm) and ceramic balls(particle size 5mm) to measure mass burning rate, height burning rate and combustion temperature. It was concluded that the longer time from ignition to extinguishment was resulted from the larger particle size of sands and the smaller size of sands exhibited the higher mass burning rate. Of alcohols tested the relative magnitude of facilitation of combustion was methyl>ethyl>propyl alcohol. Combustion temperature of alcohols, without regard to the types of alcohols, was not increased with smaller sands. However, with larger sands, combustion temperatare of alcohols was increased with the larger particle.

Replacement of sucrose with sugar alcohols in high methoxyl pectin(HMP) jellies were studied. HMP jellies were sweetened with 100％ sucrose, 75％ sucrose and 25％ maltitol, 50％ sucrose and 50％ maltitol, and 50％ sucrose, 25％ maltitol, 12.5％ sorbitol and 12.5％ mannitol. The effect of sugar alcohols in HMP jellies were investigted. There was only slight differences in sweetness intersity in HMP jellies. Color(p<0.05), texture(p<0.01) and preference(p<0.01) of 100fl sucrose jelly were significantly higher than other Jellies sweetened with sugar and sugar alcohols mixtures. Hunter's L(lightness), a(redness), b(yellowness) values of 100％, sucrose jellies and jellies substituted with maltitol up to 25％ were not signignificantly different. But as the ratio and the number of sugar alcohols used for substition were increased, L, a and b values had been lowered signigicantly(p<0.01). Instru-mental characteristics of jelly texture were examined. Hardness of 100％ sucrose jelly sweetened with sucrose and 3 kind of sugar alcohols were higher than others(p<0.05). As substitution ratio was higher, springiness and chewiness of HMP jellies were lowered(p<0.01). Springiness of HMP jellies indicated positive correlation with general acceptance of sensory scores at 5％ significant level. Brittleness, gum-miness and cohesiveness in all types of jellies were not significantly different.

Combustion phenomena(characteristics) of organic solvents including various alcohols Immobilized on ceramic balls were studied. Experiments were performed by burning methyl, ethyl, and propyl alcohol immobilized on sands (particle size 0.35mm) and coramic balls(particle size 1~5mm) to measure mass burning rate, height burning rate and combustion temperature. The longer time from ignition to extinguishment was resualted from the larger particle size of ceramic balls and the smaller size of ceramic balls exhibited the higher mass burning rate. Of alcohols tested the relative magnitude of facilitation of combustion was methyl >ethyl >propyl. Combustion temperatare of alcohols, without regard to the types of alcohols, was not increased with smaller ceramic balls(up to 3mm of particle size). However, with larger ceramic balls, combustion temperatare of alcohols was increased by 40~5$0^{\circ}C$ and the highest combustion temperatare was obtained with sands(particle size 0.35mm). Also, second rising was occurred at the combustion time of I5-20min. and this second rising time was increased with the smaller particle. These results will be able to be used for petrochemical industries using particles to evaluate the danger of fire and explosion.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of heating, fiber type used in solid-phase microextraction (SPME, two phase vs three phase) and storage time on the volatile compounds of porcine M. longissimus dorsi (LD). Volatile compounds were measured using a gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with a quadrupole mass analyzer. Among the volatile compounds identified, aldehydes (49.33%), alcohols (24.63%) and ketones (9.85%) were higher in pre-heated loins ($100^{\circ}C$/30 min), whereas, alcohols (34.33%), hydrocarbons (22.84%) and ketones (16.88%) were higher in non-heated loins. Heating of loins induced the formation of various volatile compounds such as aldehydes (hexanal) and alcohols. The total contents of hydrocarbons, alcohols, and carboxylic acids were higher in two phase fibers, whereas those of esters tended to be higher in three-phase fibers (p<0.05). Most volatile compounds increased (p<0.05) with increased storage time. Thus, the analysis of volatile compounds were affected by the fiber type, while heating and refrigerated storage of pork M. longissimus dorsi increased the volatile compounds derived from lipid oxidation and amino acid catabolism, respectively.
