The purpose of this study was to evaluate sensory characteristics, and to investigate nutrients and taste compounds in sauce made with shrimp or crab. Shrimp sauce fumed out to have better appearance, color, flavor and texture, and the taste of crab sauce was more excellent. In three kinds of shrimp sauces made with different thickeners, sauces used with rice and roux were evaluated to have a good taste and flavor. The major amino acids were -aminobutyric acid, alanine, ${\alpha}$-aminoadipic acid and citruline in shrimp sauce, and taurine, alanine, ${\alpha}$-aminoadipic acid and citruline in crab sauce. The major fatty acids of both samples were palmitic acid and oleic acid, and also palmitoleic acid and linoleic acid were much detected in shrimp and crab sauce. The content of crude protein was 1.62∼2.44%, and that of crude lipid was 0.92∼1.52% in the two sauces. The major minerals were potassium and sodium in shrimp and crab sauce.

Cooking characteristics of rice uncoated and coated with prickly pear water extracts (4% v/w for rice) were investigated. Prickly pear contained 83.22 mg% of $\alpha$-aminoadipic acid and 75.61 mg% of tyrosine as major free amino acids. After cooking, the coated rice contained 1.66 mg% of $\alpha$-aminoadipic acid which was not found in the uncoated rice. The free amino acid composition of the coated rice revealed significantly higher contents (about 2.0 to 4.2 times) of arginine, histidine, leucine, lysine and tyrosine compared with those of the uncoated rice. The major minerals in the prickly pear were Ca, K and Mg accounting for 95% of the total minerals present. After cooking, the mineral contents in the coated rice were higher by 10～45% than those in the uncoated rice. The coated rice showed lower hardness, gumminess and brittleness, and higher cohesiveness than the uncoated rice. In sensory evaluation, there were no differences in sweet taste, and overall and color acceptability between the uncoated and coated rice. However, tile coated rice showed higher scores for savory and sticky taste than the uncoated rice.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with rice bran, flax seed, or sunflower seed to finishing native Korean cattle (Hanwoo) on growth performances, carcass characteristics, fatty acid composition, free amino acid and peptide contents, and sensory evaluations of Longissimus muscle (LM). A total of 39 Hanwoo steers (average age of 22.2 mo and average body weight (BW) of 552.2 kg) were randomly divided into Control, rice bran (RB), flax seed (FS), or Sunflower seed (SS) groups. The steers were group fed for 273 d until they reached an average age of 31.2 mo. Final BW was 768.2, 785.8, 786.2, and 789.0 kg, and average daily gain was 0.79, 0.85, 0.82, and 0.84 kg for the Control, RS, FS, and SS groups, respectively (p>0.05). Fat thickness of the FS group (19.8 mm) was greater (p<0.05) than that of the other groups. Final yield grade converted into numerical values was 2.0 for the RB group, 1.7 for the Control and SS groups, and 1.4 for the FS group. Marbling degrees for the Control, SS, RB, and FS groups were 5.3, 5.1, 4.7, and 4.6, respectively. Percentages of palmitic acid ($C_{16:0}$), stearic acid ($C_{18:0}$), and arachidic acid ($C_{20:0}$) in the LM were not different among the groups. Palmitoleic ($C_{16:1}$) acid was higher (p<0.05) in the SS group. The concentration of oleic acid was highest (p<0.05) in the Control group (47.73%). The level of linolenic acid ($C_{18:3}$) was 2.3 times higher (p<0.05) in the FS group compared to the other groups. Methionine concentration was (p<0.05) higher in FS (1.7 mg/100 g) and SS (1.2 mg/100 g) steers than in the Control or RB groups. Glutamic acid and ${\alpha}$-aminoadipic acid (${\alpha}$-AAA) contents were (p<0.05) higher in the FS group compared to the other groups. LM from the FS group had numerically higher (p>0.05) scores for flavor, umami, and overall palatability in sensory evaluations. In conclusion, supplementation of flax seed to diets of finishing Hanwoo steers improved sensory evaluations which might have been caused by increases in flavor related amino acids such as methionine, glutamic acid and ${\alpha}$-AAA and peptides, anserine and carnosine, and their complex reactions.

온주밀감의 당도를 높이고 신선도를 유지하기 위하여 무가온 비닐하우스에서 이듬해 2-4월에 수확하는 월동감귤은 부피과의 발생이 쉽고 저장성이 나빠 수확시기에 바로 출하하는 감귤을 제외하고는 저온저장이 필수적이다. 2월 하순에 수확한 월동감귤(궁천조생)을 저장 전에 키토산과 칼슘처리를 하고 저장에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 부패과 발생은 저장 30일부터 나타났고, 무처리에서는 그 이후 부패가 빠르게 진행되었다. 그러나 베푸란 또는 키토산과 칼슘 처리에서는 저장 60일까지 부패과의 발생을 억제할 수 있어서, 이 기간까지가 저장이 가능한 기간으로 보인다. 중량감소는 11월 하순에 수확한 궁천조생에 비하여 모든 처리에서 중량감소가 빠르게 진행되었다. 유리당은 11월에 수확한 궁천조생과 비교하였을 때 glucose은 비슷하였으나, sucrose, fructose은 다소 많은 양이 검출되었다. 유기산은 citric acid과 malic acid 2종류가 검출되었으며, 그 함량도 관행수확기에 수확한 감귤보다 citric acid는 1/2 이하로 낮게 나타났고, malic acid는 비슷한 함량이 나타났다. 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 유기산 함량은 서서히 감소하였으나, malic acid은 초기에 감소되었으나 3월 중순이후에는 일정한 수준을 나타났다. 유리아미노산의 함량은 11월에 수확한 궁천조생에 비하여 D,L-$\alpha$-aminoadipic acid, $\alpha$-amino- $\beta$-guanidinopropionic acid 등 2종을 제외한 27종이 검출되었다.

This study was performed to establish the fermentation method of non-steamed brown rice vinegar using starch saccharifing enzyme. During vinegar fermentation, initial pH had increased in the higher concentration of alcohol and acetic acid. Final pH was gradually changed to pH 2.90~3.44 from 3.44~4.06. The higher total acidity of brown rice vinegar resulted from the higher alcohol concentration. The total acidity was slightly dropped after gradually increasing from the starting of fermentation. Initial pH was decreased from 3.67 to 3.16. The total acidity was gradually increased from the first day of fermentation with 1.02, it was 1.54 on the second day after fermentation and there was a tendency to decreased after the highest values with 6.53 fermentation for 12 days. In organic acid composition, oxalic, malic, acetic, citric, and succinic acid were detected. The total free amino acid was decreased to 1,121 mg%. The major amino acids were ${\gamma}$ -aminobutyric acid, $\alpha$-aminoadipic acid and alanine, and ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid was the highest (539 mg%). The mineral contents such as P and K was high in sample and followed by Mg, Na, Ca.

Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction was investigated as a method for removing lipids and bad flavor from tuna viscera. To find the optimum conditions, different experimental variables, such as pressure, temperature, flow rate of solvent and sample size, were evaluated for the effective removal of lipids and the undesirable smell. Ethanol was used as the entrainer, with a $3\%$ by vol $CO_2$ flow rate. By increasing the pressure at constant temperature, the efficiency of the lipid removal was improved and the protein was concentrated without denaturalization. The main fatty acids extracted from the tuna viscera were palmitic acid (16:0), heptadecanoic acid (17:1), oleic acid (18:1) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6). The major amino acids in the tuna viscera treated by supercritical carbon dioxide were glutamic acid, leucine and lysine, and the free amino acids were L-proline, taurine and L-$\alpha$-aminoadipic acid.
