Conditions for processing dried condiments with powdered sea tangle were investigated. The most appropriate method for sea tangle extraction was two-stage extraction, that extracted with addition of 70% ethyl alcohol at $25^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour and residue was re-extracted with water(1:15, w/w) at 7$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The yield of soluble solids under above-mentioned conditions was 14.9%. As a result of omission tests, free amino acids were predominated in the taste compounds of sea tangle extracts rather than nucleotides, and the contribution of free amino acids and nucleotides to the taste of sea tangle extracts was remarkable. The major flavoring components of sea tangle extracts were matters of low molecular weight such as free amino acids and oligopeptides below 5,700 dalton. Contents of carbohydrate, total nitrogen and amino nitrogen in dried condiments prepared with sea tangle extracts were 64.9%, 3.7% and 2.1%, respectively. And drying yield, solubility and absorption rates at Aw 0.88 were 14.7%, 98.3% and 8.4%, respectively.

Changes in physiochemical properties of Sunchang sikhe kochujang, the most famous traditional kochujang, by red ginseng addition(1, 2 and 5% red ginseng on the total weight basis) were investigated. Measurements of physiochemical parameters such as reducing sugar content, alcohol content, amino type nitrogen content and color difference value were conducted during fermentation at 25oC for 120 days. Alcohol content was increased from the begining of fermentation, reaching at the highest level after 90 days of fermentation and then slowly reduced. Alcohol content of red ginseng kochujang was generally higher than that of control kochujang after 90 days of fermentation. Crude protein content of control kochujang and red ginseng kochujang were reduced during fermentation whereas amino type nitrogen content were gradually increased during fermentation. Amino type nitrogen content of red ginseng kochujang appeared to be slightly lower than that of the control kochujang. The reduction in amino type nitrogen content of red ginseng kochujang was negatively related to the level of red ginseng addition. Among color difference values, L and b value of both control kochujang and red ginseng kochujang were reduced by 30 days from the begining of fermentation and then started to be increased.

A potentially tetradentate Schiff base ligand, 2-((2-((pyridin-2-ylmethylene)amino)ethyl)amino)ethan-1-ol (PMAE), and its cadmium(II) complex, [$Cd(PMAE)I_2$] (1), were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, Raman, $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopies and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystal structure of 1, the cadmium atom has a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry and a $CdN_3I_2$ environment in which the PMAE acts as an $N_3$-donor. In the crystal packing of the complex, the alcohol and amine groups of the coordinated ligands participate in hydrogen bonding with iodide ions and form $R^2{_2}(14)$ and $R^2{_2}(8)$ hydrogen bond motifs, respectively. In addition to the hydrogen bonds, the crystal network is stabilized by ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking interactions between pyridine rings. The thermodynamic stability of the isolated ligand and its cadmium complex along with their charge distribution patterns were studied by DFT and NBO analysis.

Several interesting aromas could be produced from the cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae depending on the amino acids used as sole nitrogen source. The yeast produced a fusel oil odor in leucine-medium, an aroma of traditional Korean rice wine in aspartic acid-medium and a floral note in phenylalanine-medium, respectively, Ethanol, iso-amyl alcohol, iso-butanol and n-propanol were found as major volatile con stituents in all the above three cultures. In addition to these compounds, phenethyl alcohol was present as major volatiles both in the aroma concentrates of the phenyl alanine and aspartic acid cultures, and phenethyl acetate only in the phenylalanine culture.

To develop a value-added low-salt fermented seafood with a long shelf-life, we prepared seasoned low-salt fermented Omandungi Styela plicata supplemented with fermentation alcohol (SOE). The SOE was produced by washing and dewatering shelled Omandungi, followed by cutting and salting for 24 h at 0±1℃. The salted Omandungi was seasoned and fermented with garlic, ginger, monosodium glutamate, red pepper, sesame, sorbitol, and sugar, for 7-8 days at 0±1℃. After adding 3-5% fermentation alcohol, the seasoned fermented Omandungi was packed in a polyester container. The salinity, volatile basic nitrogen content, and viable cell count of SOE were 4.8%, 22.1-22.2 mg/100 g, and (1.2-1.9)×10³ CFU/g, respectively. Compared with the control, addition of 3-5% fermentation alcohol inhibited the decrease in freshness, texture degradation, and growth of residual bacteria. Additionally, the SOE showed good storage stability and organoleptic qualities when stored at 4±1℃ for 40 days. The total amino acid content of SOE was 2,186.0 mg/100 g, mainly comprising glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, and phenylalanine. The free amino acid content was 189.0 mg/100 g, and mainly included taurine, glutamic acid, methionine, alanine, and proline.

Lycium barbarum extract has a high potential to be developed as a health functional food due to the various health-promoting effects of Lycium barbarum. This study analyzed changes in nutritional and functional components depending on the extraction solvent (purified water and a mixture of purified water and alcohol) and the condition of the sample. The nutritional components (carbohydrates, protein, fat, ash), organic acids, amino acids, total phenolic compounds, and total flavonoids of the extract produced during the extraction process were analyzed. The nutritional composition and functional substances of the extracts showed some differences depending on the type of solvent and the condition of the sample. The amounts of crude protein (7.61%), crude fat (1.63%), carbohydrate (90.22%), and ash (0.54%) of dried Lycium barbarum extract using purified water as a solvent were similar to those of the powder sample extract. The highest content of citric acid was 4.31 mg/mL, similar to the case of acetic acid, when the powder sample used a mixture of purified water and alcohol as a solvent. The highest amino acid content was 357.39 mg/mL when the powder sample was mixed with purified water and alcohol as a solvent. The total amount of phenolic compounds was 686.16 g/L when the powder sample was extracted with a mixture of purified water and alcohol as a solvent. The highest total flavonoid content was 111.32 g/L when the powder sample was extracted with a mixture of purified water and alcohol as a solvent.

Objectives : The effect of pear extract with Daekumeumjagami and vitamin C medication(PDV) on alcohol metabolism and hepatic injury was assessed following hepatic injury induced by alcohol in mice. Methods : The model of alcoholic hepatic injury was established by orally administration with 3 g/kg 25% alcohol in mice. PDV was orally administrated once a day for 5 days. Mice were randomly divided into 5 groups : normal group, control group, and PDV groups (PDV-A, PDV-B and PDV-C). The activities of aspartate amino transferase (AST) and alanine amino transferase (ALT) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in serum, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase in liver were determined after alcohol exposure. Results : Compared with control group, treatment with PDV-B and PDV-C significantly elevated activities of ADH. Moreover, the index of hepatic injury in serum was significantly decreased by treatment with PDV-B and PDV-C in ALT activity and PDV-C in AST activity. Additionally, enhanced catalase activities in liver was found in PDV-C treated mice after exposure to alcohol. Also, WBC in blood was significantly lower by treatment with PDV-B and PDV-C. Conclusions : This study suggests that PDV treatment could enhance alcohol metabolism, and prevent hepatic injury after alcoholic hepatic injury and that this effect is likely related to its modulation on the alcohol metabolizing and antioxidant enzymes.

In order to develop value-added low-salt fermented seafood with a long shelf-life, we prepared seasoned low-salt fermented Mideoduck (Styela clava) supplemented with fermentation alcohol (SME). The SME was produced by washing and dewatering shelled Mideoduck, followed by cutting and salting for 24 h at 0℃. The salted Mideoduck was seasoned and fermented with ingredients, including garlic, ginger, monosodium glutamate, red pepper, sesame, sorbitol and sugar, for 7-8 days at 0℃. After adding 3-5% fermentation alcohol, the Mideoduck was packed in a polyester container. The salinity, volatile basic nitrogen, and amino nitrogen content of the SME was 4.5%, 20.9 mg/100 g and 92.0 mg/100 g, respectively. In comparison with the control, the addition of 3-5% fermentation alcohol showed inhibitory effects of decreased freshness, texture degradation, and growth of residual bacteria. Additionally, the SME had good storage stability and organoleptic qualities when stored at 4±1℃ for 40 days. Therefore, it is suitable for commercialization as a seasoned low-salt fermented product with a long shelf-life. The total amino acid content of the SME was 11,774.5 mg/100 g, majorly comprising glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, arginine, and leucine, and the free amino acid content was 506.4 mg/100 g, majorly comprising hydroxyproline, taurine, and glutamic acid.
