EMC have a similar enzymatic reaction to cheese, but the EMC produce the stronger flavors than cheese by much more enzymatic reaction. It is important to find appropriate enzyme in order to develop these kind of superior EMC. Calf PGE is more suitable than that of kid and lamb to develop the mild cheese flavors. Especially, it was known that animal esterase and peptidase were more benefit than microbial enzyme for Cheddar cheese flavors. On the Cheddar and Swiss cheese, EMC flavors were much more 3 times than the cheese flavors. In the ratio of each component, butyric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid were high in free fatty acid, and glutamic acid, valine, leucine and lysine were high in free amino acid of the Cheddar EMC.

Pyrolysis/GC-mass spectrometry(Hewlet-Packard 5890GC/mass selective detector, 5971 BMSD), interfaced to a CDS Pyroprobe 1500 was optimized for rapid analysis of flavour compounds in Cheddar cheese. Twenty flavour compounds, including aldehydes(4), ketones(4), fatty acids(10), alcohol(1), and hydrocarbon(1), were identified from Cheddar cheeses. In total, Twenty-three flavour compounds aldehydes(2), ketones(8), alcohols(3), fatty acids(7), lactone(1), benzene derivative(1) and amide(1) were identified from two samples of accelerated-ripened Cheddar cheese treated with the proteolytic enzymes of Lactobacillus casei LGY. In total, Twenty-one flavour compounds; aldehydes(2), ketones(5), alcohols(2), fatty acids(11), and lactone(1) were identified from enzyme-modified cheese(EMC) treated with the combination of the proteolytic enzymes of Lactobacillus casei LGY and commercial endopeptidase or lipase. However, All the flavour compounds identified by pyrolysis/GC/MS in samples of ARC and EMC were not determined whether they are recognized as typical Cheddar flavour or not. More studies were requested on the development of methods for a rapid and convienent analysis of dairy fermented products using pyrolysis/GC-mass spectrometry.

The studies was carried out to investigate ripening degree and functional properties of EMC produced with pancreatic protease and palatase ML. During production of EMC, the amounts of free amino acid and free fatty acid were increased with increasing the reaction time. The amount of total nitrogen(T-N) and water soluble nitrogen(WSN) were increased with increasing time. EMC had contents of 1.79eA T-N and 0.52o WSN at 60 min of hydrolysis time. SRI and FRI value had also a similar correlationship. On the gel filtration, 2 kinds of soluble proteining capacity was also shown in alkali solution. Furthermore the foaming stability had the same result as that of the solubility. The water absorption of EMC showed the highest level at pH 4.0 and 5.0.

Cheese flavor is derived from three main pathways, that are proteolysis, lipolysis and glycolysis, the extent of which varies according to the cheese variety. Proteolysis is the most complex of the three primary events during cheese ripening. The basis of EMC technology is the use of specific enzymes acting at optimum conditions to produce required cheese flavors from suitable substrates. These enzymes consist of proteinases, peptidases, lipases, esterases. The key factors in EMC production are the type of cheese flavor required, the type and specificity of enzyme or cultures used, their concentration and some processing parameters, such as pH, temperature, agitation, aeration, and incubation time. The emulsifiers, bacteriocins, flavor compounds, and precursors also effect to it importantly. The dosage of enzyme or starter culture used is dependent on the intensity of flavor required, processing time and temperature and the quality of the initial substrate. To produce a consistent EMC product it is necessary to have a highly controlled process, and a detailed knowledge of the enzymatic reactions under the conditions used must be fully understood.

For the production of EMC, various professes and lipases were used to hydrolyse cheese sulk. The optimal conditions of various proteases were as follows, pronase-3$0^{\circ}C$, p14 7.0, pancreatln-4$0^{\circ}C$, pH 8.0, pacific protease-3$0^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0 and protease from Asp. sp. -5$0^{\circ}C$, pH 8.0. The optimal conditions of various lipases were as follows ; pancreatic lipase-5$0^{\circ}C$, pH 8.0, palatase ML-5$0^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0 and lipase form Candida -4$0^{\circ}C$, pH U.0. After hydrolysation under optimal conditions, the amounts of free amino acid and free fatty ac14 were increased with reaction time. Hydrolysates of pacific protease and pronase were showed high amount of free amino acid(0.67mg/ml and 0.74mg/ml). Especially EMC had high amount of glutamic acid and leucine. Lipase from Candida cylindracea produced high amount of free fatty acid (24.63 mg/ml) Butyric acrid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid among free fatty acids were showed high amounts. Sensory evaluation of various MC were tasted nth 8 panelist. EMC produced with pancreatic lipase was most bitterness and EMC produced with palatase ML was best acceptable cheese flavor.

Wild propionibacteria isolated from different commercial swiss cheese samples were tested for antimicrobial activities. In initial screening, six of these Propionibacterium isolates showed antagonistic activity against 10 selected indicator organisms by the deferred method. In next, only two Propionibacterium strains JW6 and JW14 showed antibacterial activity in the cell-free supernatants by the modified well diffusion method. Propionibacterium strains JW6 and JW14 were finally identified as bacteriocin producers which exhibited a bactericidal effect against closely related species. The antimicrobial substances were proteins, since their activities were completely destroyed following several degradative enzyme treatments. The bacteriocins showed a narrow inhibitory spectrum of activity against two propionibacteria and two bacilli of strains tested in this study.

The production of distilled soju by fermenting nonsteamed rice was evaluated using commercial enzyme products. White koji and modified nuruk had alpha-amylase activities of 31.90 U/g and 3,532.71 U/g, respectively, and gluco-amylase activities of 698.32 U/g and 4,899.58 U/g, respectively. The enzyme products had activities of 5,604.15-225,182.00 U/g and 13,517.41-120,822.41 U/g, respectively. At enzyme concentrations of >800 mg/L, the Chung-moo-purified enzyme had an alcohol productivity of ≥19%. Nurukzyme R400, Sanferm Yied, and Diazyme X4 exhibited alcohol productivities of >19% at concentrations of >600 mg/L. The alcohol content of the vacuum distillates was 41.31%-44.86%. The volatile component with the alcohol content adjusted to 25% was analyzed and principal component analysis was performed. The volatile components in white koji, Diazyme X4, and Sanferm Yield were similar. The modified nuruk treatment group had a relatively high ethyl lactate content compared to the white koji treatment group. The Nurukzyme R400 treatment group had high contents of butyric acid and ethyl butyrate. The Chung-moo-purified enzyme was characterized by a low component content. Thus, when enzyme products were used in nonsteamed rice fermentation, no effect on the alcohol productivity and quality of vacuum distilled soju was observed, suggesting that it can replace white koji and modified nuruk.

Whey protein concentrate (WPC) is widely used to increase the nutritional and functional properties of food. In this study, the physiochemical and functionality of WPC-30 hydrolysates were examined to evaluate the possibility of application in the food industry. The WPC-30 was manufactured using ultrafiltration and spray-drying, and then hydrolyzed with proteolytic enzyme including alcalase, flavourzyme, nuetrase and protamex. Enzymatic hydrolysis had a significant influence on the physicochemical properties as evident from the increased foaming capacity, solubility. Alcalase caused highest protein hydrolysis (3.26%) and the bitterness. Foaming capacity was largest in WPC-30 hydrolysate treated with flavourzyme. Protein solubility at various levels of pH was highest in protamex-treated WPC-30 hydrolysate. However, the solubility of WPC-30 hydrolysates was significantly improved in alkaline condition than in acidic and neutral conditions. The study revealed that spray dried enzyme modified WPC can be used in various functional food.
