Fermented red ginseng concentrate is known as a healthy food source, whereas it has off-flavor such as bitterness and sour flavor based on fermentation. ${\beta}$- and ${\gamma}$-cyclodextrin (CD) were used to encapsulate the off-flavor of fermented red ginseng concentrate by using response surface methodology design on ${\beta}$- and ${\gamma}-CD$ combination. The reducing effects were analyzed by sensory evaluation for bitter and sour tastes, ginsenoside Rb1, and total acidity. The optimized mixing ratio of ${\beta}$- and ${\gamma}-CD$ for reducing bitterness was the least expected value of 2.07 at ${\beta}-CD$ 3.74% versus the soluble solid content of fermented red ginseng concentrate and the ${\gamma}-CD$ 20.63% mixture. The encapsulation effects of ginsenoside Rb1 were the most expected value of 96.75% at ${\beta}-CD$ 3.47% and ${\gamma}-CD$ 19.89% mixture. The encapsulation effects of sour taste were the least expected value of 5.63 at ${\beta}-CD$ 9.34% and ${\gamma}-CD$ 9.96% mixture. The encapsulation effects of lactic acid were the most expected value of 67.73% at ${\beta}-CD$ 16.0% and ${\gamma}-CD$ 13.18% mixture. Based on encapsulation and each optimized combination, the most effective entrapping ${\beta}$-and ${\gamma}-CD$ combination ratio was ${\beta}-CD$ 10% and ${\gamma}-CD$ 13%.

Toson-Shibigok(Twelve Songs of Toson) which T'oegye, Yi Hwang, composed has received a lot of attention in terms of its educational implications. These implications have become the essential part of Gojeon Sigas(classic songs and poems), and solid evidence has also been accumulated in the literature. Therefore, the purposes of this study are twofold, that is 1) to explore the impact of T'oegye's fundamental structure of the first education at that time and 2) describe how these educational attitudes will eventually yield meta- educational values. What T'oegye meant by fundamental structure of the first education was that Sijos originated from his own experience should be the vital part of teaching method. One can say that T'oegye's teaching method is more integrative than that of modern literature education in that it includes songs. Not only using his own teaching method, but T'oegye tried to demonstrate his own literary structure to his colleagues and the future generations. In the end, Meta-Education which comprises the heart of recent educational theories well reflects Toegye's theoretical propositions. Rather than giving practical knowledge, his method offers the paradigms of thought patterns and shows the learners' attitudes in approaching the truth. Moreover, T'oegye's teaching method has become a good example to the future generations as well as his contemporary followers. In sum, although a lot of years have passed since he died, T'oegye's Sijo works and life still have invaluable impact on the field of education.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of vinegar added with different levels (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%) of Akebia quinata fruit during two-step fermentation. The physicochemical properties of vinegar evaluated were pH, total acidity, alcohol, and total sugar and amino acid contents. The antioxidant activities were based on ABTS radical scavenging activity, SOD-like activity, and reducing power. During alcohol fermentation, total acidity and alcohol contents of vinegar increased, but total sugar contents decreased. During acid fermentation, total acidities of vinegar increased. Vinegar added with 7% A. quinata fruit showed the highest total sensory score. Total polyphenol contents of vinegar added with 0% and 1% A. quinata fruit were not significantly different. However, vinegar added with 3, 5, and 7% A. quinata fruit showed significantly higher total polyphenol contents of 136.6, 381.59, and 415.35 mg/100 g, respectively, after 13 days of fermentation. Further, total flavonoid contents of vinegar added with 0~7% A. quinata fruit significantly increased to 21.73, 15.79, 15.15, 26.19, and 26.87 mg/100 g, respectively, after 13 days of fermentation. In addition, tannin contents of vinegar added with 0~7% A. quinata fruit significantly increased to 0.2042, 0.2004, 0.1255, 0.1384, and 0.1255 mg/100 g, respectively, after 13 days of fermentation. Moreover, ABTS radical scavenging activities of vinegar added with 0~7% A. quinata fruit significantly increased to 5.87, 12.59, 25.63, 34.02, and 35.25, respectively, after 13 days of fermentation at a concentration of 5 mg/mL. Additionally, SOD-like activities of vinegar added with 0~7% A. quinata fruit significantly increased to 8.22, 17.49, 16.86, 16.89, and 15.68%, respectively, after 13 days of fermentation. Reducing power of 7% A. quinata fruit was 0.527 after 1 day and 1.539 at the end of fermentation. Our results demonstrate that antioxidant activity significantly increased during fermentation according to the content of A. quinata. Further, the total polyphenol, flavonoid, and tannin contents were shown to be closely related with antioxidant activities. Thus, A. quinata could be effectively used as a vinegar and functional food material based on its antioxidant activity.

A new type of surimi gel was prepared by adding the crab paste to the original Alaska pollock surimi, and its characteristics were determined. With increased addition of crab paste to the surimi, moisture $(81.3\;to\;79.1\%)$ and protein content $(12.2\;to\;11.6\%)$ of surimi gels slightly decreased while ash content increased compared to commercial surimi gel. Color values of surimi gels were decreased in lightness (L value, 67.3 to 63.5) but increased in redness (a value, -3.5 to 7.14). Thus, crab paste-added surimi gel was a little darked reddish product. Maximum values of breaking force and deformation of $10\%$ added surimi gel were 568g and 13.1mm, respectively. Sensory scores on color and flavor increased according to the increasing of additional ratios, whereas texture scores was maximum at $10\%$ added surimi gel. From the results of physical properties and sensory evaluation, desirable additional ratio was $10\%$. Total amino acid content (11,435 mg/100g) of $10\%$ added surimi gel was approximately $5\%$ less than non-added surimi gel, and major amino acids were aspartic acids, glutamic acid, leucine and lysine. Exceptionally, cysteine content of $10\%$ added surimi gel was 2 times higher than control (surimi gel without crab paste). Calcium and phosphorus contents of $10\%$ crab paste-added surimi gel were 172:4mg/l00g and 234.6 mg/100g, respectively, and their ratio (1:1.4) was in the optimal range in the body absorbtion efficiency.

For the use of extracts from salmon frame as a basic material of Gomtang-like products, various methods (soaking into soybean milk, adding anchovy, and adding spices) for masking fish odor into extracts from salmon frame were examined and the food component characteristics were also compared with commercial Gomtang. According to the results of volatile basic nitrogen, transmission at 660 nm and sensory evaluation of extracts, soaking treatment, which is the soaking of salmon frame into soybean milk, was the most efficient method among the various methods for masking fish odor into extracts from salmon frame. There was no difference in the proximate composition between extracts from salmon frame soaked (FS) and unsoaked (C) into soybean milk. The FS was not detected in heavy metals, such as chromium, lead and cadmium. The taste value of FS (16.26) was higher than that of C and the major amino acids were glutamic acid and aspartic acid. Total amino acid content of FS (3.08 g/100 mL) was also higher than those of C (2.95 g/100 mL) and commercial Gomtang (1.70 g/100 mL), and the major amino acids were glycine, proline, glutamic acid and arginine. The calcium and phosphorus contents of FS/500 mL accounted for 21.7% and 18.5%, respectively, of the recommended daily allowance of mineral for adult.

We evaluated the quality characteristics of adzuki bean sediment according to variety. The moisture, crude protein, and crude ash contents of the various adzuki bean varieties were 8.2~11.1, 15.4~20.6 and 3.3~3.6 g/100 g, respectively. The potassium contents of Chilbo-pat (CB) and Hongeon-pat (HE) were 875.1 and 873.1 mg/100 g, respectively. The calcium contents of Jungbu-pat (JB) and Kumsil-pat (KS)were 73.6 and 73.2 mg/100 g, respectively. A high level of magnesium (131.4 mg/100 g) was found in Yeonkeum-pat (YK). The yields of adzuki bean sediment according to variety were no different either wet (188.3~204.7%) or dry (62.1~66.0%). The L-values on sediment of YK and KS were 67.0 and 68.0, respectively; however, the CB L-value was low at 54.0. A high level of a- (6.6) and b-value (12.8) was found in YK; however, the values for CB were much lower at 3.8 and 5.9, respectively. There was no difference in particle-size distribution, water binding capacity, and solubility of adzuki bean sediment according to variety. High levels of peak (3.79 RVU), trough (3.75 RVU), final (7.33 RVU), and setback viscosity (3.54 RVU) were found in JB. The sensory properties of products in food processing are important, and the variety of adzuki bean sediment should be chosen depending on desired product characteristics.

We produced Hwanggiju (added 0.5~2.0% of ground Astragali Radix compared to starch contents) and investigated the physicochemical characteristics, DPPH free radical scavenging activities, polyphenol contents, and sensory evaluation. For all treatments, the initial pH was 3.9~4.1 and gradually decreased for 6 days from the 1st mashing day, and then rapidly increased to 4.67. As the fermentation proceeded, total acid contents increased in most of the treatments, reduced temporarily after the 2nd mashing time because of the addition of starch material and water, and then slightly rose again. There were little changes in pH and total acid contents followed by adding ground Astragali Radix (AR) to the fermentation periods. Amino acidities of all treatments showed patterns of which consistently rose as the fermentation proceeded and slightly reduced followed by increasing the addition rate of ground AR to the mashes. Soluble solid and alcohol contents also increased continuously and there were few differences among the treatments followed by adding to the ground AR rate. In color, there was no differences in L value, but a and b value showed significant differences by adding ground AR rate. In DPPH free radical scavenging activities, the control (no AR added) showed 53.6% and when grinded AR added, there were improving effects of the activities (0.52~6.9%). In polyphenol contents, the control was 1.05 mg/mL and the ground AR added treatments increased slightly. In the sensory evaluation, the control received a relatively high score ($5.0{\pm}1.0$), and the treatments which added 0.5% ground AR during the 2nd mashing time were also well received ($4.5{\pm}1.3$).

The physicochemical characteristics and sensory properties of Deodeok wine, formed by leaching of Deodeok at room temperature for 180 days, were investigated over the following range of Deodeok levels: 10, 15 and 20% (all w/v). The higher the level of Deodeok, the greater were the final values of total sugars, reducing sugars, total polyphenols, and crude saponins. The Hunter's b-value (yellowness) of Deodeok wine varied markedly with Deodeok levels, and yellowness was highest in Deodeok wine containing 20% (w/v) Deodeok. Non-volatile compounds, that form the basis of the liquor tax law, were 0.64, 1.38 and 2.11% (all w/v), respectively, at day 160. Of these values, that of 2.11% (w/v), the level of non-volatile compounds in Deodeok wine containing 20% (w/v) Deodeok, was in accord with the liquor tax law (that requires this figure to be 2.0%). Sensory evaluation showed that Deodeok wine containing 20% (w/v) Deodeok was superior to the other wines tested.

Fermentation of ice apple wine from freeze-concentrated Fuji apple juice to 36 $^{\circ}Brix$ was carried out using Saccharomyces cerevisiae SS89, a sugar-tolerant wine yeast strain. The characteristics of the fermentation and the properties of ice apple wine were compared with those of S. cerevisiae W-3, an industrial wine yeast that was used as a control in this study. During the fermentation, the alcohol content increased more rapidly by S. cerevisiae SS89 together with the decrease of the soluble solid content, compared to S. cerevisiae W-3. It reached 12% (v/v) after 15 days of fermentation by S. cerevisiae SS89 (12.4%, v/v) and 21 days by S. cerevisiae W-3 (12.6%, v/v). The soluble solid contents of the SS89 and W-3 wines were 24.0 and 23.6 $^{\circ}Brix$, respectively. Lactic acid was detected at the highest level, followed by malic aid, among the organic acids in both wines. No big differences in the organic acid contents were observed based on the strains. In the SS89 wine, higher levels of methanol, propanol, butanol, and isoamyl alcohol were detected, together with a lower isobutanol content, compared with the W-3 wine. The SS89 wine showed higher level of intensity as well as higher Hunter's L and b color values compared to the W-3 wine. In the sensory evaluation, similar scores in color, flavor, taste, and overall preference were obtained in the two wines. Therefore, S. cerevisiae SS89 was thought to be useful for the rapid fermentation of ice apple wine.

In this study, the good brewing conditions for the 24 $^{\circ}Brix$ freeze-concentrated apple wine were investigated. The four selected Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains MM10, SS89, SS812, and WW108, could ferment quickly when brewed with high sugar levels. During the fermentation, the reducing sugar contents slowly declined while the total acid in all the yeasts increased and the final alcohol content was 12-13%, a typical wine's alcohol content. The viable counts were shown to be 6-6.8 log cfu/ml. During the fermentation, the organic acid content was shown to be within the range of 2.36-3.11%, and the free sugar content, except for the SS89 and WW108 strains, was shown to consist only of sorbitol, although fructose was somewhat detected in the SS89 and WW108 strains. Methanol was not detected, or only a trace of it was detected, and the aldehyde content was 107.68-114.27 ppm. As for the fusel oil contents, a trace of propanol was detected. Isobutanol and butanol were present in 40.16-54.65 and 25.47-27.73 ppm, respectively. The isoamy1 alcohol content was shown to be the highest (108.88-217.26 ppm). The final total phenolic compounds were shown to be 0.1-0.16%. The final Hue values were shown to be 1.3-3.6, and the final intensity was 0.1-0.45. The lightness (L) was within the range of 91.78-98.51, the redness (a) was at a neutral position at red and green, and the yellowness (b) was within the range of 2.38-7.7. In the sensory evaluation, the SS812 strain was found to be the best in terms of color, the SS89 strain in terms of odor, and the WW108 strain in terms of taste. Overall, SS812 was found to be the best apple wine.
