Biotransformation process using microorganisms was examined to improve the bioconversion rate for the production of sotolon from the raw material. First, the extraction condition was optimized with regard to solvent type and pretreatment conditions. Dichloromethane was selected as a suitable solvent for the extraction of sotolon and sotolon-related compounds. Second, various microorganisms such as lactic acid-producing bacteria, yeast and fungi were tested for the biotransformation. Among the tested microbes, Agaricus blazei showed the highest conversion rate. Additives including amino acids, salts, and organic acids were investigated to test their effects on bioconversion. When the solution was added by isoleucine, ${\alpha}-ketoglutaric\;acid$, ascorbate, and $FeSO_4$ and later incubated by culture broth containing the mycelium of Agaricus blazei, the sotolon content increased up to about 77 times as compared to that of the raw material.

조미식품과 관련된 용어로서는 양념, 조미료, 등이 있고 영어로는 Seasonings, Flavorings, Condiments, Spice등이 있다. 사전적인 의미에서 약간의 차이가 있을지 몰라도 조미식품이란 직접 음용하는 일은 드물고 주로 다른 식품의 풍미를 증진시키는데 이용되는 모든 식품을 말하며 일반사전에는 없는 일종의 '합성어'이다. 따라서 한마디로 정의하기 어렵고 다른 식품과의 구분도 애매한 편이다. 우리나라 표준산업 분류에는 조미식품 제조업이란 분류는 없다. 한편, 식품공전에서는 조미식품을 "식 등의 풍미를 돋우기 위한 목적으로 사용되는 장류, 시초, 소스류, 토마토 케첩, 카레, 고춘가로 및 실고추 향신료가공품, 드레싱, 복합조미식품, 향미유 등의 제품을 말한다"고 정의되어 있다. 이 중 장류에는 간장, 된장, 고추장, 춘장, 청국장 등이 포함되며, 소스류에는 우스타소스 등 서양풍 소스는 물론이고 불고기양념등과 같은 우리의 전통양념류를 포함한다. 우리나라 경우 드레싱보다는 마요네즈가 먼저 소개되어 현재 생산량이나 소비량에서 압도적으로 우위에 있기 때문에 마요네즈가 널리 알려져 있으나, 마요네즈는 샐러드드레싱, 프렌치드레싱 등과 마찬가지로 드레싱의 일종으로 보는게 타당하다. "소스"라는 말도 넓은 의미에서는 조미식품 의 대부분을 포함하며, 좁은 의미로는 현재 식품공전에서 말하는 제품류들이다. 이처럼 조미식품이라 하면 시초, 토마토 케첩 및 소스류, 마요네즈 및 드레싱류, 카레 및 천연향신료 등을 포함하는 좁은 의미를 뜻하는 경우가 많다. 본문은 이중에서 천연향신료를 중심으로 그 원료소재에 따른 기능별 효과를 다루고자 한다.

To develop natural antimicrobial agents for extending the self-life of Kimchi, the effect of botanical antimicrobial agent-citrus products(BAAC) on microorganisms related to Kimchi spoilage was investigated. The inhibitory effect of BAAC on microorganisms related to Kimchi spoilage was increased according to the concentration of BAAC. Antimicrobial activities of BAAC against microoiganisms related to Kimchi spoilage were remarkably high. The effect of BAAC on the cellular membrane function of microorganisms showed the perturbation of cells in the presence of BAAC. Direct isualization of microbial cells by using both transmission md scanning electron microscope showed microbial cell membrane was destroyed by treating with BAAC. It could be confirmed that BAAC completely inhibit the growth of the test strains. The pH of BAAC-added Kimchi was a little higher than that of the control through the fermentation period. Titratable acidify, vitamin C and viable cells in BAAC-added Kimchi were changed more slowly than those in the control. Sensory evaluation did not show any significant difference between $0.01\%$ BAAC-added Kimchi and the control that showed the best palatabilities during fermentation.

Hydrolyzed wheat gluten (HWG) and low glutamic acid (Glu) hydrolyzed wheat gluten with different quantities of NaCl were reacted with several precursors to develop natural meat flavor based on Maillard reaction products (MRP). The MRP based flavors were analyzed for their pH, browning index, DPPH radical scavenging effect, and sensory properties. Synthetic meat flavor from low Glu hydrolyzed wheat gluten with 7% NaCl and ribose, cysteine, methionine, thiamin, lecithin, and garlic powder reacted at $140^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and were most favorable for a roasted meat flavor. Based on an omission test, cysteine was selected as the most important precursor for producing meat flavor compared to methionine, thiamine, and lecithin. Natural precursors including mushroom powder and fat medium were applied to compensate for the synthetic precursors. The optimum formula for meat flavor was 5% ribose, 7.7% cysteine, 6.9% garlic juice powder, 2.1% Lentinusedodes powder digested with protease, and 1% lard. The sulfuric pungent, oily, and salty attributes of the formula decreased and a mild roasted meat flavor was expressed.

Quality characteristics of white breads added with different levels of jujube extracts were investigated. Addition of jujube extract significantly decreased L-value, and increased a and b-values. Addition levels up to 70% did not have significant effects on the texture of breads. Significant increases in the hardness, chewiness, and gumminess were observed in 100% jujube-added group. Additive levels over 50% jujube showed good sensory scores compared with control bread in color, flavor, taste, and general palatability. Textural property increased with increasing amount of jujube extract. Results showed substitution of 50-70% jujube extract for water improved bread quality.

This study evaluated the characteristics of rice cookies with varying amounts (0, 250, 500, and 750 mg) of dandelion complex powder. Dandelion powder is considered a functional food with skin-moisturizing and atopic skin improvement effects by KFDA. Quality characteristics of AF343 and rice cookies were measured by determining antimicrobial activities, physical characteristics, sensory evaluation values, and antioxidant activities. An antibiotic susceptibility test of the powder showed positive activities in Escherichia coli (O157:H7), Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Listeria monocytogenes. Rice cookie containing 250-500 mg powder showed significantly increased antioxidant activities compared to controls (p<0.05). However, sensory intensities between the two sample groups were not significantly different. Thus, rice cookies containing 250-500 mg dandelion complex powder were successfully developed to improve antioxidant and antimicrobial qualities. These products may attract the attention of health-conscious consumers in the highly competitive cookie industry.

This study was conducted to evaluate quality characteristics of white breads with Acanthopanax senticosus extract(ASE) (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%). Addition of ASE significantly decreased L-value, and increased a and b-values. Compared with the control bread, specific volume of bread added with ASE was increased. The cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of the breads added with ASE were higher than those of the control group. Also, a sensory evaluation was carried out in terms of acceptability(color, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability). Taken together, the 50% treatment ranked the highest evaluation values, as compared to other treaments. Accordingly, to improve the quality of bread, it is recommendable to add ASE to the 50% level in substitution for water in making a loaf of bread. After all, this study was to confirm the possibility of ASE's utilization as natural materials containing the functional substance.

Vinegar is a fermented food product created by fermenting various sugar- and starch-containing ingredients with microorganisms. It contains a variety of organic acids, sugars, amino acids, esters, and other compounds that contribute to its unique sensory properties. Vinegar is known for its potential benefits, including aiding digestion, lowering blood sugar levels, anti-obesity effects, and antioxidant properties. It is also believed to contribute to improving alkaline body conditions. This study was conducted to develop functional dried vinegar powder from naturally fermented vinegars. Unripe apple, brown rice, and black chokeberry (aronia) were fermented using Gluconacetobacter xylinus for 90-180 days. The filtrate vinegar was spray dried with 37.46% maltodextrin, 5% glucose, 1% citric acid, and 0.04% vitamin C. Analysis of the acidity, color difference, water and soluble solid content, and heat stability of dried vinegar (DV) confirmed that spray drying is a suitable method for powder production. Moreover, the DVs exhibited excellent sensory attributes and solubility. Among the DVs, aronia-DV showed the highest 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl and 2,2-azobis (3- ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) radical scavenging activity (36.7% and 75.3%) and reducing power (0.334) at 0.5 mg/ml concentration, respectively. The nitrite scavenging activity was highest in brown unripe apple-DV, followed by aronia-DV and brown rice-DV. In the anti-thrombosis activity assay, aronia-DV showed the highest prothrombin inhibition. The brown rice-DV exhibited lipid accumulation inhibitory activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes without cell cytotoxicity. Our results suggest the potential for commercialization of dried vinegar, highlighting its diverse benefits and applications.
