Volatile compounds (VOCs) are an important factor affecting meat quality. However, the characteristic VOCs in different parts of donkey meat remain unknown. Accordingly, this study represents a preliminary investigation of VOCs to differentiate between different cuts of donkey meat by using headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) combined with chemometrics analysis. The results showed that the 31 VOCs identified in donkey meat, ketones, alcohols, aldehydes, and esters were the predominant categories. A total of 10 VOCs with relative odor activity values ≥1 were found to be characteristic of donkey meat, including pentanone, hexanal, nonanal, octanal, and 3-methylbutanal. The VOC profiles in different parts of donkey meat were well differentiated using three- and two-dimensional fingerprint maps. Nine differential VOCs that represent potential markers to discriminate different parts of donkey meat were identified by chemometrics analysis. These include 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, and 2-heptanone. Thus, the VOC profiles in donkey meat and specific VOCs in different parts of donkey meat were revealed by HS-GC-IMS combined with chemometrics, whcih provided a basis and method of investigating the characteristic VOCs and quality control of donkey meat.

Hallabong peel oils grown in open field and green house were extracted by hand-pressing flavedo and collected on ice. Volatile flavor components of Hallabong peel oils were identified and compared by using gas chromatography and mass- spectrometry. Forty-four flavor components were identified in open field oil and 45 flavor components in green house oil. (E) -Limonene-1,2-epoxide and neral were identified only in Hallabong oil grown in open field, on the other hand, $\beta$-cubebene, $\beta$-elemene and decyl acetate were detected only in green house oil. Limonene was the most abundant component in both oils as more than 86$\%$ of peak weight, followed by sabinene (1.8$\~$ 3.6$\%$) and myrcene (2.4$\~ $2.6$\%$). The difference of the volatile profile between open field and green house oils were significantly characterized by identification and quantity of alcohol group. The total alcohols in open field and green house oils accounted for 1.8$\%$ and 0.8$\%$, respectively. Among alcohols, the level of linalool was relatively high in open field oil (1.2$\%$), however, it accounted for 0.5$\%$ in green house oil. Flavor properties of fresh Hallabong peel and flesh were also examined by sensory evaluation. Flavor properties of fresh Hallabong grown in open field were relatively stronger on both peel and flesh by sensory analysis. Sweetness was strong in Hallabong flesh from open field, and sourness in that from green house. The sensory evaluation of the preference in consideration of taste and aroma was significantly high in Hallabong grown in open field (p<0.01). From the present study, the stronger flayer properties and the preference of Hallabong from open field by sensory evaluation seem to be associated with the high level of linalool in its peel oil, and the composition of monoterpene hydrocarbons such as sabinene and (E) -$\beta$ -ocimene.

The volatile flavor components in mash of nonglutinous rice Takju brewed with or without addition of the starter were determined by GC and GC-MS using polar column. Various kinds of volatile components including alcohols(10), esters(9), organic acids(2) and aldehydes(7) were found in mash of nonglutinous rice Takjus. At the beginning stage of fermentation, 3 to 7 volatile flavor components were detected. The number of volatile flavor components were increased to 26 of to 28 after 16 days fermentation. Early in the brewing, just 3 kinds of flavor components including ethyl acetate, ${\beta}-phenylethyl$ acetate and acetic acid were detected in mash of nonglutinous rice Takju without the addition of the starter, when starter is added additional compounds of alcohol including ethanol were detected, which is suggested to be the effect of flavors originated from the starter. The common flavor compounds through the entire process of fermentation in mash of nonglutinous rice Takju were ethyl acetate, ${\beta}-phenylethyl$ acetate and acetic acid. The relative amount(peak area %) of flavor components were changed with the fermentation period, but the major volatile flavor components were ethyl alcohol, iso-amyl alcohol, hexenyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, ${\beta}-phenylethyl$ acetate and ${\beta}-phenylethyl$ alcohol. The relative amount(peak area %) of ethyl alcohol was the highest in mash of nonglutinous rice Takju with addition of starter. When the starter was not added in the mash of nonglutinous rice Takju, any alcoholic components were not detected in the early stage of fermentation. But the percent of peak area hexenyl alcohol was the highest after 16 days fermentation. Especially few sorts of ester were detected in mash of nonglutious rice Takju without addition of starter by 3 days fermentation.

In order to investigate the effects of different milling degrees on the quality of glutinous rice wines, the physicochemical properties and volatile compounds of various wines were evaluated. Sample wines prepared from glutinous rice with 90, 80, and 70% milling yields were analyzed for ethanol, pH, total acids, amino acids, soluble solids, coloring degree, UV absorbance, reducing sugars, organic acids, free sugars and volatile compounds. After fermentation for 17 days, ethanol contents in the wines ranged from 15.2 to 15.85%, while total acid levels ranged from 0.31 to 0.35%. The amino acid contents in four samples ranged from 0.63 to 0.73%, while soluble solid contents ranged from 11.4 to $13.1^{\circ}Bx$. The wine prepared from glutinous rice with a 30% degree of milling showed the highest coloring degree, UV absorbance and reducing sugar content among four samples. Furthermore, this wine had the highest levels of malic acid and acetic acid, while the glutinous rice wine prepared from rice with a 0% degree of milling had the highest levels of succinic acid and lactic acid. In all the glutinous rice wines tested, the most abundant free sugar was glucose followed by maltose. With increasing degree of milling, the alcohol, amino acid and organic acid contents of the glutinous rice wines decreased, whereas soluble solids, coloring degree, UV absorbance, reducing sugar and free sugar contents increased. Volatile compounds were identified using GC-MSD, and thirty-nine esters, seven alcohols, six acids, one aldehyde, four alkanes, one alkene and two miscellaneous compounds were identified in the glutinous rice wines. Using relative peak area, it was determined that other than ethyl alcohol, hexadecanoic acid ethyl ester was the major component and was primarily found in the range of 11.566-18.437%. Succinic acid diethyl ester and isoamyl laurate decreased with an increasing degree of milling, whereas hexanoic acid ethyl ester and 2-octenoic acid ethyl ester increased. Overall, it was shown that different milling degrees greatly affected the physicochemical and volatile characteristics of the glutinous rice wines.

The physicochemical and sensory characteristics of rice wine, Yakju, made with different additions of red yeast rice (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40%) were investigated. The pH of the rice wine decreased and the total acidity increased with greater additions of red yeast rice. Furthermore, the total sugar content increased and the alcohol content decreased with increasing amounts of red yeast rice. The color L-value diminished and the color a- and b-values increased with increasing amounts of red yeast rice. Among the volatile flavor compounds, esters, aldehydes, alcohols, and acids were the most important aroma-active compounds identified in the rice wine. The sample with the 10% red yeast rice addition had the highest ester content, which is a primary component in fruit fragrance. The highest overall acceptability values in the sensory test for color, flavor, taste, and overall favorite were 5.10, 5.75, 5.15, 4.65, and 4.50, respectively, with the addition of 10% red yeast rice.

Addition of three natural flavoring materials, hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP), hydrolyzed animal protein (HAP) and yeast extract (YE), into 0.2 M cystine-0.1 M lactose-0.1 M maltose solution (control) was studied for development of meat-like flavor by Maillard reaction. The HVP, HAP and YE were added individually at various concentrations and were mixed at selected concentration in order to compare their effects. The absorbance, color, sensory characteristics and volatile compounds of the solutions after the reaction at $100^{\circ}C$ for 8 hr were measured. The results showed that the absorbances of reaction solution at 420 nm and 278 nm were increased as reaction time and the concentration of the natural flavoring material increased. Also ‘L’ values of reaction solutions added with HVP, HAP or YE decreased while the ‘b’ value increased slightly. From the results of sensory evaluation 1.16% HVP, 0.94% HAP, 1.48% YE or 1.16% HVP + 0.94% HAP were selected as the appropriate substrates for the meat-like flavor development. The volatile compounds identified by GC/MS for the control and those added with 1.16% HVP or 1.16% HVP+0.94% HAP were 1 hydrocarbons, 9 aldehydes, 5 ketones, 1 ester, 5 alcohols, 2 aromatics(benzene), 2 furans, 1 sulfur compound.

This study was carried out to evaluate the quality characteristics of Korean domestic commercial white wines. Four sample wines were analyzed in terms of their pH, total acidity, volatile acidity, alcohol content, soluble solid, free $SO_2$, total $SO_2$, color, free sugar content, organic acid, volatile compounds, total polyphenol content, DPPH radical scavenging activity and sensory characteristics. The pH of wines ranged from 3.06 to 3.76 and their total acidity from 0.43 to 0.83% (v/v). The alcohol content of samples ranged from 9.4 to 12.8% (v/v) and their soluble solid contents from 9.9 to $12.3^{\circ}Brix$. The free $SO_2$ and total $SO_2$ contents of the W1 wine were lower than those of the other wines, while the color intensity, a (redness) and b (yellowness) of W1 wine were higher than the values of the other wines. The malic acid contents of the four wines indicated that complete malolactic fermentation (MLF) occurred in W1, incomplete MLF in W3, and was absent in W2 and W4. Aroma analysis resulted in identification of 10 alcohols, 11 esters, 2 ketones and 6 miscellaneous compounds. 2,3-Epoxybutane and 1-(ethenyloxy)-pentane levels in were significantly higher W1 than the other wines, while several types of ester predominated in W2, W3 and W4. W1 had the lowest sensory score among the four wines. Therefore, the quality characteristics of domestic white wines are considered to be acceptable.

In order to select the best strains to have the feasibility of Cheonghju brewing, 10 wild type yeast strains from 300 different types of Nuruk were investigated on their ethanol resistance, resistance to glucose and flocculation. The amounts of alcohol, organic acids, and volatile compounds, Brix, pH were also examined for the alcoholic beverages made with the 10 selected strains. Almost all strains showed alcohol production activities in the medium containing 18%(v/v) ethanol and 29%(w/v) glucose. The strains 90-2 showed a higher flocculation activity than other strains. Strains 54-3, 90-2 and 91-5 produced more alcohol than control strain (7.42%(w/w)) when fermented with wild type yeast strains. In addition, alcoholic beverages containing low acetic acid also showed low levels of total acidity. GC/MS analysis of the product showed 4 alcohols, 11 esters and 1 acid as volatile compounds. Selected strains were tentatively identified as Phichia sydowiorum (91-5), Zygosaccharomyces cidri (192-2 and 271-4), and as Saccharomyces cerevisiae (18-2, 54-3, 90-2, 91-2, 98-2, 99-5 and 272-7) by BIIOLOG method.
