The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Doenjang made by seven different traditional soybean paste manufacturers, in Chungbuk province during fermentation. The moisture content of Doenjang declined in the process of fermentation, from 58.07~68.86% to 52.32~63.79%. The salinity increased from 7.47~14.38% to 10.42~17.73%. Sample B was the lowest, and G was the highest. The pH showed a tendency to decline from 5.36~6.22 to 4.30~5.66 except for sample F, which increased 6.33~7.10. In contrast, the total acidity showed a tendency to increase from 0.56~1.77% to 1.11-1.83% except for sample F, which declined 0.71%~0.54%. The lightness declined from 44.33~55.90 to 26.68~49.66. However, the redness and the yellowness generally increased. The content of amino type nitrogen generally increased with the progress of fermentation from 93.33~408.80 mg/kg to 314.07~1,258.13 mg/kg and sample D, with Aspergillus oryzae added, was the highest. The volatile flavor compounds of Doenjang had 10~20 types. Sample D had the fewest number of volatile flavor compounds (10 types of compounds), and sample C had the largest number of it (20 types of compounds). Four types of compounds, ethanol, 3-methyl butanal, ethyl acetate, and 3-methyl butanoic acid, were detected from all samples.

The changes of volatile components of cooked rice during storage at $70^{\circ}C$ for 5 hr were investigated. Among more than 100 volatile components of fresh cooked rice, the predominant one was hexanal followed by nonanal, acetone, pentanal, butanal, heptanal, octanal and toluene. These eight components comprised about 55% of the total volatile, which was decreased by half after one hour storage. The amount of major volatile components in Tongil type rice was higher than Japonica rice, but the decrease of volatiles during storage was faster in the former.

This study was carried out in order to characterize the flavor of Pueraria radix-green tea. To make a new tea with good flavor and functional properties, Pueraria radix was mixed with green tea. Volatile flavor compounds of Pueraria radix-green tea were extracted by simultaneous distillations and extraction methods using a Likens and Nickerson's extraction apparatus. The concentrated extract was analyzed and identified by GC and GC-MS. Forty-nine compounds including $\beta$-selinene, $\beta$-caryophyllene, hexanal and nonanal were isolated and identified from Pueraria radix. Sixty-four compounds including nerolidol, linalool, linalool oxide and phenylethyl alcohol were isolated and identified from green tea. Eighty-two compounds including linalool, $\delta$-cadinene, limonene, $\beta$-caryophyllene and $\beta$-ionone were isolated and identified from Pueraria radix-green tea.

The effects of different cations on its composition and flavor characteristics of pidan white and yolk produced with duck egg in comparison to its fresh egg were investigated. Mineral content such as calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium were significantly increased in pidan yolk irrespective of its cations in pickle solution in comparison to the fresh yolk (P<0.05). It confirmed the migration of minerals from the pickling solution to the egg. However, calcium and magnesium was found lower in 0.2% $PbO_2$ treated pidan. Less pidan flavor compounds were generated in pidan white produced with the aid of 0.2% $PbO_2$. It confirmed that binding of lead prevent the maillard reaction in the pidan treated with $PbO_2$. Benzaldehyde, ketones, alcohol and acid found in the pidan white treated with 0.2% $ZnCl_2$ reveals that volatiles are generated most likely from maillard reaction. However, pidan yolk of both 0.2% $PbO_2$ and 0.2% $ZnCl_2$ showed higher generation of volatiles more likely from yolk lipids. Butanal, pentanal, hexanal, and heptanal are of those aldehydes found in 0.2% $ZnCl_2$ treated pidan yolk whereas hexanal is the only aldehyde detected in 0.2% $PbO_2$ treated pidan yolk. Thus, cations in the pickling solution affect the flavor characteristics of pidan white and yolk.

As one of the sensory factors for characterizing food quality, volatile compounds have been particularly contributed to sensory evaluation of fermented sea foods in Korea. But no chemical investigation of the volatile compounds of fermented anchovy as one of the most favored fermented sea food products has been reported. Accordinglry, for a series study of processing of low salt fermented sea foods, changes in volatile compounds and fatty acid composition of fermented anchovy with low salt contents ($4\%$ of salt contents) were experimented fermentation comparing with conventional fermented anchovy ($20\%$ of salt contents). Total lipid of raw anchovy was composed of $77.6\%$ of neutral lipid, $22.1\%$ of phospholipid and $0.3\%$ of glycolipid. And polyenoic acid was held $39.8\%$ of fatty acid composition of total lipid and the major fatty acids in those were $C_{22:6},\;C_{20:5}$. During the fermentation of anchovy saturated fatty acid ($C_{16:0},\;C_{18:0},\;C_{l4:0}$) and monoenoic acid ($C_{16:1},\;C_{18:1}$) increased while polyenoic acid ($C_{22:6},\;C_{20:5}$) decreased greatly. Thirty-eight kinds of volatile component from the whole volatile compounds obtained from fermented anchovy after 90 days fermentation were identified, and composed of some alcohols (8 kinds), carbonyl compounds (9 kinds), hydrocarbons (8 kinds) and fatty acids (8 kinds). During fermentation 8 kinds of volatile acids, 5 kinds of amines, 9 kinds of carbonyl compounds were also detected. Those volatile acids such as acetic acid, isovaleric acid, propionic acid, n-butyric acid were the major portion of total volatile fatty acids of 60 days fermented anchovy prepared with low salt contents. On the other hand, carbonyl compounds such as ethanal, 3-methyl butanal, hexanal, 2-methyl propanal were the major ones, while TMA held the most part of volatile amines in fermented anchovy with low salt contents after 60 days. Conclusively, there was little difference in composition of volatile components, but merely a little difference in content of those between low salt fermented anchovy and conventional fermented ones.

By modified method yellow corvenia(called $Y_3$) was prepared with $4\%$ salt, $4\%$ KCl, $6\%$ sorbitol, $0.5\%$ lactic acid and $4\%$ alcohol extract of red pepper to improve the quality of fermented sea food. In this study, changes of volatile compounds and fatty acid composition obtained from modified fermented yellow corvenia($Y_3$) were experimented during fermentation, comparing with conventional fermented yellow corvenia(called $Y_1,\;20\%$ of salt contents). Total lipid of yellow corvenia was composed of $78.1\%$ of neutral lipid, $21.2\%$ of phospholipid and $0.7\%$ of glycolipid. And monoeonoic acid was held $37.4\%$ of fatty acid composition of total lipid and saturated fatty acid ($34.8\%$), polyenoic acid ($27.7\%$) were followed. Saturated fatty acid($C_{14:0},\;C_{16:0},\;C_{18:0}$) in $Y_1,\;Y_3$ increased, polyenoic acid ($C_{22:6}\;C_{22:5}\;C_{20:5}$) decreased while monoenoic acid($C_{16:1}\;C_{18:1}$) in those was little fluctuated during fermentation. Thirty-three kinds of volatile component in whole volatile compounds obtained from $Y_1,\;Y_3$ at 90 days fermentation were identified, and composed of some hydrocarbons (8 kinds), alcohols (7 kinds), acids (6 kinds), aldehydes(4 kinds), sulfides(2 kinds), ketones (2 kinds), one of phenol and 3 kinds of the other components. Among the whole volatile compounds 2-ethoxy ethanol and was held $79.35\%$ in $Y_3$, whereas nonadecane was held $75.85\%$ in $Y_1$. During fermentation 8 kinds of volatile acids, 5 kinds of amines and 9 kinds of carbonyl compounds were also detected. Those volatile acid such as acetic acid, isovaleric acid, n-caproic acid, n-butyric acid were the major portion of total volatile acids in $Y_3$ at 90 days fermentation. Meanwhile, carbonyl compounds such as ethanal, 2-butanone and butanal were the major ones, while TMA held the most part of volatile amines in $Y_3$ during fermentation. From the result of sniff test, the components which are believed to contribute to the characteristic flavor of fermented product $Y_1,\;Y_3$ are deduced to be volatile acid, carbonyl compounds and amines in order. Conclusively, there was little difference in composition of volatile components, but merely a little difference in content of those between $Y_3$ and $Y_1$.

Volatile flavor compounds of sauces made from shrimps, crabs or lobsters were analyzed by the combination of canister system, gas chromatography(GC) and mass selective detector(MSD). Of 72 total volatile compounds from 4 kinds of sauces, 45 compounds were identified from shrimp sauce(SS). Ten alkanes, 5 ketones, 3 aldehydes were obtained from SS. Especially, 3-methyl-2-butanone, 2-pentanamine, isobutane, 3-methyl-2-butanol, carbon disulfide and dimethyl sulfide were predominant compounds in SS. In crab sauce(CS), there were 18 compounds identified, including 4 alcohols, 4 alkanes, 3 aldehydes, 2 ketones, acid and amine. 2-Methoxy ethanol, trimethyloxirane and 3-buten-1-ol were special volatile compounds in CC. Volatile compounds from lobster head sauce(LHS) or lobster shell sauce(LSS) were 16 or 18 kinds respectively. The major volatile compounds of LHS were formic acid, 1-propanethiol, $\beta$-pinene and allyl sulfide, and those of LSS were acids, pentane, 3-methyl-1-butanol and 2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone. It was thought that the volatile compounds identified from sauces as well as shrimps, crabs or lobsters might come from wine, onions, bay leaves or celery used as minor ingredients.

Gugija (Lycii chinese Miller) is traditionally consumed as a Chinese medicinal material in food, tea, or alcoholic beverages. Gugija has beneficial healthy components, but it produces an off-flavor during storage. This study compared the flavor components of fresh-dried Gugija and stale-dried Gugija. The flavor compounds in one fresh sample (sample 1) and one stale sample (sample 2) were extracted by the simultaneous distillation and extraction method. The concentrated aroma extracts were analyzed and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Forty-five compounds, including 17 aldehydes, 8 alcohols, 6 terpene compounds, 4 esters, 3 ketones, and 3 pyrazines, were isolated in sample 1. Thirty-four compounds, including 12 aldehydes, 3 alcohols, 5 terpene compounds, 2 esters, 3 ketones, 3 pyrazines, and 1 acid, were isolated in sample 2. The main aroma components of sample 1 were 2-methyl butanal, 2-methyl propanol having sweet odor, and hexanal, (Z)-3-hexenol having grass odor, and phenyl acetaldehyde, benzyl alcohol having floral odor, and alkyl pyrazines having nutty odor. These compounds were decreased in sample 2, and several compounds containing isovaleric acid, which has a disagreeable, rancid-cheese odor were found newley.

Peeled garlic was stored at $-18^{\circ}C\;and\;-40^{\circ}C$, respectively and changes in main quality factors during storage were determined for $15{\sim}16$ months. The puncture force measured by texturemeter was $2709{\pm}368$ G.S at the beginning of storage and did not change significantly after the 15 months storage. Drip losses of stored garlic were 0.4% and 0.7% at $-18^{\circ}C\;and\;-40^{\circ}C$, respectively. Major flavor compounds of garlic analyzed by GC and GC/MS, such as diallyl disulfide, 1,3-dithiane, diallyl sulfide, 2-butanal, were not changed in their quantity during the frozen storage. The contents of cysteine, valine and tyrosine increased slightly notwithstanding the storage temperature. Sucrose content slightly decreased, but glucose and fructose tended to increase in garlic stored at $-18^{\circ}C$. The content of pyruvic acid, degradation product of alliin, did not change during storage at both storage temperatures. These results indicated that peeled garlic could be stored at $-18^{\circ}C$ for longer than 15 months without quality problems.
