Four types of soybean paste(Doenjang), using traditional meju, koji, natto meju and mixture of koji and natto meju, were manufactured and fermented for 90 days. Analyzed volatile flavor components by GC-MS were confirmed to be thirty-six components including 5 alcohols, 5 aldehydes. 8 ketones, 3 acids, 9 esters and 6 miscellaneous ones. Traditional soybean paste tested had 29 components, koji and koji-natto soybean paste $26{\sim}24$ and natto soybean paste had 20 ones. Alcohol was found to be the most abundant volatile flavor components in all samples group. Traditional soybean paste had higher ratio of carbonyl to ester than any other types of soybean paste while koji-natto soybean paste had the lowest ratio of their components. The newly identified five volatile flavor components were 3-ethoxy-l-propene, dihydro-2-methyl-3-furanone. 1-hydroxy-2-propanone, 1-(2-furanyl)ethanone and 2-acethyl ethylhexanoate.

Different strains of mold were screened for the production of high quality Korean traditional rice wine with anti-hypertension and good acceptability. We isolated 867 nuruk mold strains and selected 24 for further study based on measurement of amylase activity. Among them, mold No. 17 showed high ethanol production upon fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae as well as anti-hypertensive properties. The No. 17 strain was therefore selected as the functional mold and later identified as Rhizopus stolonifer based on molecular biological characteristics. Optimal fermentation conditions for the brewing of anti-hypertensive traditional rice wine comprised the addition of R. stolonifer No. 17 koji at a concentration of 35 sp/g and a fermentation period of 10 days at $25^{\circ}C$ using S. cerevisiae.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of Makgeolli (a traditional Korean rice wine) made with Etteum bell flower root (0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2% with steamed rice) during fermentation. The pH values of Makgeolli with Etteum bell flower root powder decreased after 3 days of fermentation and then increased after 5 days of fermentation. Sugar content decreased after 3 days of fermentation. Color evaluation showed the L values of these drinks decreased during fermentation, whereas a and b values both increased. The alcohol content of Makgeolli increased after fermentation, reaching a maximum concentration of 7.90-8.07% by the end of fermentation. Total phenolic compound contents and DPPH radical scavenging activities increased as the ratio of Etteum bell flower root increased. Sensory scores of Makgeolli fermented with 1.5% Etteum bell flower root ware greater than those of Makgeolli prepared by other treatments. Therefore, Makgeolli added with 1.5% Etteum bell flower root added considered to be the most suitable for manufacturing.

In this study, when we reflect the preference of consumers who wish to receive their health through natural materials, and whose purpose is to receive good quality and good tasting cookies made from ginger. After 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% of flour was replaced by ginger powder for making cookies, a comparative analysis of quality characteristics and QDA was completed. Adding ginger powder caused a decrease in the density of the cookie dough, moisture content, loss rate and leavening rate of cookie (p<0.05), but the hardness of the ginger cookie increased. As a result of the description analysis of adding ginger powder, adding ginger powder increases, cookie color, crispiness, acid taste, flavor, and an after taste, but not the sweetness of the cookie. In terms of cookie color, crispiness, taste, flavor and overall acceptability, adding 4% ginger powder received high reviews. Also as a result of measuring DPPH radical elimination, ginger powder shows to have good antioxidant activity. So their anti-cancer activity is better than cookies without ginger powder. Therefore, we expect that we can fulfill the overall acceptability.

Current study was performed to investigate the effect of morphological properties of black ginseng such as size and shape on the quality of black ginseng. The raw ginsengs were separated based on size (medium, large, and extra-large) and shape (straight ginseng, fibrous root ginseng). Subsequently, the raw ginsengs were steamed at $95^{\circ}C$ for 3 h and dried in the presence of heated air at $50^{\circ}C$ for 30 h. This process was repeated nine times for black ginseng production. The physiochemical properties such as the content of acidic polysaccharides, ginsenosides, and antioxidative activity were evaluated. Although minor difference in physiochemical properties such as acidic polysaccharide content in raw ginseng was observed, no statistical difference in the content of acidic polysaccharides, total phenols, and ginsenosides was observed during final black ginseng production based on size classification. The minor ginsenosides in fibrous root black ginseng, such as Rk3, Rh4, Rg3, Rk1, and Rg5 were higher in content than straight black ginseng. However, no correlation between the shape of ginseng and total phenol content and antioxidative activity was observed. Therefore, present results demonstrate that the difference in ginseng size in same-age and -production area does not affect the quality of black ginseng. Furthermore, difference in ginseng shape does not influence the overall quality of black ginseng. It is hypothesized that this study would be considered as supportive data for the production of high-quality black ginseng.

The effect of stabilizers on the sedimentation, sensory evaluation and viscosity were investigated during the fermentation of traditional Andong sikhae and storage of the product at $4^{\circ}C$ and morphological characteristics were reviewed by scanning electromicrograph. The number of acid producing bacteria was increased for the first 3 days and then slightly decreased. Among the commercial stabilizers 0.3% of Carrageenan was the most effective for proventing sedimentation of sikhae. The interaction effects between the amount of food stabilizer added and treatment groups on taste turned out to be statistically significant.

Sikhe a general Korean traditional drink, is a sweet drink fermented with malt powder rice(or glutinous rice). To investigate the perception and use behavior of Sikhe, 35.2% of the male and 64.8% of the female adults in Daegu and Kyungbuk area were surveyed. The methods frequency, percentage, chi-square test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data. The main results were as follows : 36.1% of the participants usually preferred the traditional drinks and 94.7% of them had experienced Sikhe among the traditional drinks. Most respondents liked Sikhe owing to its good taste. In addition, the responses to 7 questions about the Sikhe were also measured on a 5-point likert scale. The statement 'Sikhe is a traditional food' and 'Sikhe is a natural food' received high positive responses and adults in their 50's had a generally better knowledge of Sikhe than the counterparts. furthermore, 54.8% sometimes purchased commercial Sikhe, but 40.7% didn't buy it at all due to bad taste. Therefore, to increase the intake of commercial Sikhe, the taste needs to be improved, and 59.8% of adults suggested that 'Add other ingredients and the taste can be improved', while 58.8% replied 'maintenance' prospects for Sikhe consumption.
