This study aimed to evaluate quality characteristics of soy sauce by various manufacturing methods. We examined color values, contents of saccharide and free amino acid. Regarding color values, brewed soy sauce showed lower level of L-values than traditional soy sauce, and the L-value was increased with time dependent manner in traditional soy sauce. The one year old traditional soy sauce exhibited the lowest a-value whereas the three years old traditional soy sauce showed the highest b-value (+4.27). The content of the bitter and savory taste amino acids was the highest in commercial soy sauce with the values of 28.98% and 18.93%, respectively. In addition, traditional soy sauce contained more GABA than brewed soy sauce.

본 연구의 목적은 초음파검사에 의하여 한국재래산양의 간장 및 담낭의 정상적인 구조와 크기를 알아보는데 있다. 30두의 한국재래산양에서 간장, 문맥, 후대정맥 및 담낭의 크기, 위치 및 구조를 측정하였다. 30마리의 산양을 체중에 따라서 5-15Kg, 15-25Kg 및 25-35Kg군으로 분류하였다. 우측복벽의 제9늑간극으로부터 12늑간극까지에서 측정을 실시하였다. 각 늑간극에서의 간장의 크기, 후대정맥 및 문맥의 위치 및 직경을 관찰하였다. 본 연구에 있어서의 간장 크기 및 위치의 초음파 측정자료는 한국재래산양의 간장의 변화에 대한 진단에 있어서 기초자료로서 사용될 수 있다는 결론을 얻었다.

This study was carried out in order to analyze the changes in general compounds, reducig sugar, nitrogen compounds of traditional Korean soy sauce with varying Meju Type (Traditional Meju, Modified Meju) and ripening periods and to investigate correlation between sensory characteistics via sensory evaluation of soy sauce samples. And to investigate actual conditions and attitude of comsumer of soy suace.

In order to study the effects of the maturing temperature of kanjang(Korean traditional soy sauce) mash on the distributions of chemical compositions and sensory characteristics of kanjang, test kanjang mash prepared by mixing one part of meju and three parts of 20% salt solutions was matured at 15, 30 and $45^{\circ}C$ for 60 days respectively. It was found that although the higher the maturing temperature upto $45^{\circ}C$ for 60 days of maturing the higher total nitrogen, total free amino acids and pigment content in kanjang could be obtained, better quality kanjang containing the lower acetic acid, butyric acid and pyroglutamic acid with the higher ratio of the glutamic acid to the total free amino acids and the higher sensory evaluation scores could be prepared by maturing kanjang mash at $15^{\circ}C$.

Traditional and commercial soy sauces used for seasoning soups and cooked mungbean sprouts were evaluated for consumer preference. Table salt was included in sensory tests, because the consumer commonly used it for seasoning soups. Triangle tests with 30 trained panelists were used to evaluate differences between two soy sauces, and 9 point hedonic scale tests with 100 consumer panelists to evaluate the consumer preference. Taste of sea mustard, Chinese radish and dried pollack soups seasoned with the traditional soy sauce, commercial soy sauce for soup and table salt was significantly different. The consumer panel indicated that the commercial soy sauce for soup was most preferred and the traditional soy sauce least preferred. Taste of cooked mungbean sprouts seasoned with two sauces, prepared with either traditional or commercial soy sauces, was significantly different from each other, but the consumer panel could not detect the difference in preference.

Ultrafiltration (UF) tests performed on traditional soy sauce (kanjang) using UF flat membrane test cell unit with thin film laminar flow similar to the spiral type membrane module in batch operations revealed reduction in permeate flux is proportional to the logarithm values of volume reduction ratio of the retentate kanjang at different feed rate of kanjang. Feed rate of 1.5 L/min was found to be adequate for long-term UF operation of kanjang using the test unit attached with MW cut-off size of 200,000 dalton polyoleffin plastic membrane in batch operation with the least concentration polarization. The higher the feed rate of kanjang, the lower the permeability of total nitrogen and NaCl, resulting in lower optical density at 500 nm and lower permeability of minerals such as Cu, Mn, and Mg. Microbial cells were completely rejected regardless of the feed rate, whereas most free amino acids were not.

The effects of browning Products (BP) from Kanjang(soy sauce) and charcoal on the degradation of aflatoxin $B_1(AFB_1)$ in Kanjang and its model system were studied. Approximately 60% of $AFB_1$ was degraded in the presence of 0.05% BP at pH 7 of phosphate buffer after 2 days of incubation at $30^{\circ}C$. The mutagenicity of the $AFB_1$ which reacted with the BP was decreased to about 50% and 70% in Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 strains, respectively (p<0.05). When a few pieces of charcoal were added to home made Kanjang, $AFB_1$ was quite stable for 5days at $30^{\circ}C$, however, about 80% of $AFB_1$ was removed when the charcoal was either in distilled water or in 20% of NaCl solution after 2 days of incubation. Activated carbon instead of the charcoal removed $AFB_1$ completely in the all samples under the same conditions.

A total of 192 Korean landraces were investigated for the comparison of each other as useful germplasm to organic farming and examined correlation between quantitative traits. Almost Korean landraces were classified into medium-heading variety and average days from seeding to heading was 111.1 days. Plant height and culm length were longer about 20∼40cm than general Japonica cultivar. Average width of leaf blade and average length of panicle were 1.3cm and 22.4cm, respectively, Average number of panicles per plant was 10.0 and almost varieties showed low tilling habit. Average length/width ratio of brown rice was 1.7 and several varieties were long grain type and average 1,000 grain weight was 21.6g. In correlation coefficient among quantitative traits, positive significant correlations were observed between culm length and leaf width, days from seeding to heading, but negative correlations were observed between days from seeding to heading and 1000 grain weight. 27.1% of Korean landraces showed weak and lodging degree in culm strength and 3.6% of total varieties showed purple margin on leaf blade and leaf sheath. In leaf blade angle and flag leaf angle, erect type was 46.9% and 10.9%, respectively. 24.0% of total varieties showed the slow and late degree of leaf senescence. The rate of awned type, waxy type and brown seed coat were 74.5%, 20.3% and 4.2%, respectively. The color of stigma, spikelet, apiculus and awn showed diverse color such as white, brown, red and purple.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens K-42, which produces strongly a fibrinolytic enzyme, Was isolated from Ganjang, a traditional Korean soy sauce. The fibrinolytic enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50, gel chromatography on Sephadex G-100, and gel chromatography on Sephadex G-75 of the culture filtrate of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens K42. The purified enzyme showed the specific activity of 59.4 units per milligram, which was increased by 17.1 fold over the culture broth. And the molecular weight of purified fibrinolytic enzyme was confirmed to be about 45,000 Dalton by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme activity was relatively stable at pH 4.0-10.0 and the optimum pH was 8.0. The activity of the purified enzyme was increased by $Mg^{2+}$ , Cu$^{2+}$ but the enzyme was totally inhibited by $Ba^{2+}$ $Hg^{2+}$ In addition, the enzyme activity was potently inhibited by EDTA, EGTA and CDTA. It was concluded that the purified enzyme was a metalloprotease. And Km value was 2.03 mg/ml to fibrin.

In order to evaluate the characteristics of growth and yield in $F_1$ waxy hybrids using Korean local maize lines, six hybrids including check, Chalok #1, were planted at the experinental field of the Chungnam National University. Stern and ear heights of $Yeonnong{\times}Jaerae$ and $FR805/IK_3{\times}Koryong$ hybrids were higher than the check hybrid. Number of tillers per plant in all hybrids were similar as 0.3 to 0.5 per plant. Ear length of waxy hybrids was longer than 15cm of check hybrid and ear diameter was also thicker than check except $FR805/IK_3{\times}Koryong$ waxy hybrid. A final result, $Yeonnong{\times}Jaerae$ among hybrids was comparatively superior to other hybrids in the test.
