Fresh, and sun- and oven-dried red peppers were analyzed for volatile components. Also, their odor-active compounds were determined using gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). More diverse volatile components, such as aldehydes, ketones, acids, and esters, were found in dried samples than in fresh ones. They included hexanal, ethyl acetate, ${\alpha}$-ionone, and ${\beta}$-ionone. Some Strecker aldehydes, 2-methyl butanal and 3-methyl butanal, were found only in dried red peppers. More hydrocarbons of high volatility and terpene-type components, such as ${\gamma}$-terpinene and aromadendrene, were detected only in fresh red peppers. A considerable amount of naphthalene was formed during sun-drying, whereas 2-furancarboxaldehyde, 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole and benzeneethanol were detected only in oven-dried red peppers. Characteristic odor of fresh ones could be attributed to 3-penten-2-o1, 2-methyl-2-butenal, 2-methoxy phenol, 2-hydroxy-methyl-benzoate, and 2-phenoxy ethanol, whereas some odorants, including 2-pentyl furan, naphthalene, hexyl hexanoate, and ${\alpha}$-ionone, could be responsible for distinctive odor property of sun-dried red peppers. 2-Furancarboxaldehyde, benzeneethanol, 4-vinyl-2-methoxy phenol, and unknown played important roles in odor property of oven-dried red peppers.

Volatile components in red bean (Vigna angularis) were investigated. Extracts prepared by simultaneous steam distillation and solvent extraction were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. One hundred and forty-two components including alkanes/alkenes (17), aromatics (5), furans (15), miscellaneous compounds (2), other nitrogen-containing compounds (11), aldehydes (11), naphthalenes (11), alcohols (34), ketones (23), sulfur-containing compounds (5) and esters (8) were identified. Some of these components, e.g. hexanal, were known to contribute to the "beany" odor in other beans. Due to the presence of such odor, red beans may not be acceptable to some consumers.

Changes in major volatile odor components (VOC) and sensory properties of kimchi during ripening for 4 days were investigated, and major VOCs of the raw materials of kimchi were also analyzed. Seven of eight major VOCs of kimchi originated mainly from garlic, while one originated from ginger. During 4 days of kimchi ripening, the amount of ethanol, which was substantially higher than that of other VOCs, increased continuously but decreased slightly on the fourth day. The amount of diallyl disulfide decreased during ripening, while that of allyl mercaptan decreased on the first day and increased slightly thereafter. The amount of methyl allyl sulfide, diallyl sulfide, and methyl trisulfide increased continuously during ripening, while that of dimethyl disulfide and methyl propyl disulfide increased until the second day and decreased thereafter. Scores of overall acceptability, taste, and odor for kimchi ripened for 2 days were significantly higher than those of other samples (p<0.05). The correlation between scores of overall acceptability and the amount of dimethyl disulfide or methyl propyl disulfide was higher than that of other VOCs.

Volatile odor components of ripened and ripened/freeze-dried kimchi were analyzed by gas chromatograph. As ripening temperature of kimchi increased, pH of kimchi decreased, viable cell count of lactic acid bacteria of kimchi increased up to ripening temperature of $15^{\circ}C$, and sensory properties of kimchi gradually decreased. Allyl mercaptan, methyl allyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, diallyl sulfide, diallyl disulfide, and ethanol were detected in ripened kimchi and ripened/freeze-dried kimchi. The amounts of allyl mercaptan, methyl allyl sulfide, diallyl sulfide, and ethanol increased as the ripening temperature increased, while those of dimethyl disulfide and diallyl disulfide decreased. Freeze-drying for 24 hr removed most of the above-mentioned volatile odor components, which were further removed by freeze-drying for 48 hr.

The aim of this research was to enhance the flavor of visceral extracts from skipjack tuna. Flavor precursors and the optimum condition for the Maillard reaction were determined. The flavor extract was prepared from the tuna viscera using Endo/Exo Protease controlled in 3 factors; temperature, enzyme amounts and incubation time. The optimal condition for producing tuna viscera protein hydrolysate (TVPH) was 60℃, 0.5% enzyme (w/w) and 4-hour incubation time. TVPH were further processed to tuna viscera flavor enhancer (TVFE) with Maillard reaction. The Maillard reactions of TVFE were conducted with or without supplements such as xylose, yeast extract and methionine. The Maillard volatile components were analyzed with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Sixteen volatiles such as 2-methylpropanal, methylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, dimethyl disulfide and 2-acetylthaizone were newly formed via Maillard reaction and the similarity of volatile contents from TVPH and TVFE were virtualized using Pearson's correlation integrated with heat-map and principal component analysis. To virtualize aromagram of TVPH and TVFE, odor activity value and odor impact spectrum (OIS) techniques were applied. According to OIS results, 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanal, 1-octen-3-ol 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, methional and dimethyl trisulfide were the potent odorants contributed to the meaty, creamy, and toasted aroma in TVFE.

Kimchi was prepared with 5, 10 or 20%(w/v) Chinese radish and ripened at $20^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. Acid production and growth of lactic acid bacteria, sensory properties, and several volatile odor components in kimchi were examined. The effects of freeze-drying on the quality of kimchi were also studied. The pH of the control (kimchi prepared without Chinese radish) was 4.31 and gradually decreased as the amount of Chinese radish increased. The acidity of the control was 0.673% and gradually increased as the amount of Chinese radish increased. Viable counts of lactic acid bacteria in the samples did not differ significantly from the control. The pH of freeze-dried/rehydrated kimchi slightly decreased as the amount of Chinese radish increased while its acidity gradually increased. The viable count of lactic acid bacteria of freeze-dried/rehydrated kimchi did not differ significantly as the amount of Chinese radish increased. Overall acceptability and taste of kimchi and freeze-dried/rehydrated kimchi generally improved by the addition of 10% or 20% Chinese radish. Six volatile odor components including ethanol and five sulfur-containing components (SCC) were identified from unripened kimchi, and the level of two SCCs increased as the amount of Chinese radish increased. Eight volatile odor components, ethanol and seven SCCs, were identified from ripened kimchi and the level of five SCCs increased as the amount of Chinese radish increased. Diallyl sulfide and methyl trisulfide were newly detected from the ripened samples, but not from the unripened kimchi. Freeze-drying substantially reduced all of the volatile odor components from kimchi. Five volatile odor components including ethanol and four SCCs were identified from the freeze-dried/dehydrated samples.

Kimchi was ripened at $25^{\circ}C$ for 4 days and heated at $100^{\circ}C$ for 10 or 40 min. pH of the ripened kimchi was not changed by heating, whereas sensory properties of kimchi, including overall acceptability, acidity, taste, odor, and texture, were improved, particularly by $100^{\circ}C/40$ min-heating. Allyl mercaptan, methyl allyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, diallyl sulfide, diallyl disulfide, and ethanol were detected in the ripened kimchi. Volatile odor components except ethanol and methyl allyl sulfide were removed by heating at $100^{\circ}C/10$ min, and the ethanol content was further reduced by heating at $100^{\circ}C/40$ min.

To compare the composition of volatile flavor components of two different types of rice, the volatile flavor concentrates isolated from brown rices Hyangnambyeo(aromatic cultivar) and Dongjinbyeo (normal cultivar) were analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography mass spectrometry. A total of components, including 16 hydrocarbons, 16 aldehydes and ketones, 15 alcohols, 4 acids, and 10 miscellaneous components were identified positively or tentat ively. Among them, n pentanol was the most abundant component in both samples and Hyangnambyeo contained more aldehydes and alcohols than Dongjinbyeo. 2 Acetyl 1 pyrroline which is chiefly responsible for the character istic odor of aromatic type rice was high in Hyangnambyeo compare to Dongjinbyeo, but these were detected as minor component.

A strain producing soybean paste flavor was isolated from traditional Korean soybean paste. The isolate was identified as Bacillus subtilis PM3. The neutral fraction representing the traditional soybean paste aroma was obtained from the whole volatile components produced by B. subtilis PM3 in cooked soybean. Each separated peak from the neutral fraction of gas chromatogram was identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and Kovat's retention index, and the aromas of each peak were investigated by a sniffing test with the exercise panel. The twenty-nine components, including six character impact compounds and twelve components of flavors of Korean soybean paste, were confirmed. Some regions of gas chromatogram represented the soybean paste odor. It has been confirmed that traditional Korean soybean paste can be manufactured with the strain B. subtilis PM3.
