Flavor compounds of pentane, hexane, hexanal and total volatiles formed during $65^{\circ}C$ storage of ramyon fried in palm oil with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, RHA, TRHQ, rosemary extract or defatted ricebran extract were determined by static headspace gas chromatography. The levels of the antioxidants used in the frying oil were 100 or 200 ppm, and an additional level of 300 ppm was employed in the case of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ ${\alpha}-Tocopherol$ decelerated the formation of all the flavor compounds when used at 100 or 200 ppm, and the former was more effective than the latter. However, 300 ppm of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ accelerated the flavor compound formation in ramyon during storage. One hundred ppm of BHA and TBHQ contributed to the reduction in flavor compound formation in the stored ramyon, whereas 200ppm level accelerated the compound formation. Rosemary extract and defatted ricebran extract lowered the flavor compound formation in ramyon when used at 100 or 200 ppm in palm oil. Their lowering effects were similar to that of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, and superior to that of TBHQ. suggesting a possible utilization of defatted ricebran extract as a new natural antioxidant.

A study was carried out to investigate the control effect of sodium and potassium phosphates, sodium citrate and three different salts mixtures on kimchi fermentation when they were added into half-fermented kimchi in the concentration range of $0.001{\sim}0.01\;M$. The salts mixtures added were sodium phosphates mixture(CA-A), addition of $NaNO_2$, Ca-EDTA and BHA to CA-A(CA-B) and substitution of BHA with sodium citrate in CA-B. The results showed that sodium phosphates and sodium citrate significantly inhibited the kimchi fermentation while potassium phosphate had little effect. The order of control effect was $Na_3PO_4-Na_2HPO_4-sodium\;citrate-NaH_2PO_4-K_2HPO_4-KH_2PO_4$. Among the salts mixtures, CA-A showed the most reducing effect in the fermentation rate followed by CA-C and CA-A. The mixture of CA-C could extend the time of holding pH $4.2{\sim}4.4$ by approximately 6 times at $4{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ when it was compared to control. The microbial growth study of total and Leuconostoc mesenteroides also showed a very significant decrease in their numbers.

The oxidative stability of the ramyon prepared with ricebran oil fortified with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, BHA, TBHQ, and ascorbyl palmitate+citric acid or blended with palm oil was studied to assess the suitability of the oil as the frying oil. The antioxidants were added to a ricebran oil at 0.02% level, respectively, while blended oils were prepared by adding a palm oil to the ricebran oil at ratios of 3:7, 5:5, and 7:3. Ramyon samples were prepared by frying steamed noodel with the oils. They were stored in dark at $35.0{\pm}0^{\circ}C$. for 90 days. Peroxide, acid, iodine values, dielectric constant, and fatty acid composition of the oils extracted from the samples were determined regularly. The oxidative stability of the extracted oils and storage stability of the samples were estimated from the results of the determinations. ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ did not exert any appreciable antioxidant effect on the extracted oil while BHA demonstrated some effect. Ascorbyl palmitate with citric acid and especially TBHQ exerted a considerable effect. The storage stability of the samples fried with the oil fortified with TBHQ was as good as that of the samples prepared with the palm oil. The stability of the samples improved as the palm oil content In the frying oil increased. The stability of the samples fried with the blended oil containing 70f) palm oil was comparable to that of the samples prepared with the pure palm oil
