The effects of addition of citrus peel powders (C 0, 0.5, 1 & 2%), dried Lentinus edodes powders (L 0, 0.5, 1 & 2%), and their combination (C-L) on the chemical, sensory and textural properties of pork sausages were studied. Addition of 0.5, 1 or 2% C, L, and C-L all significantly decreased moisture content, pH, and color a-values of sausage samples, whereas ash content and color b-value were increased (p<0.05). C, L, and C-L did not affect protein, fat, carbohydrates contents or texture characteristics. Sensory evaluation was performed by multivariate data analysis, namely principal component analysis (PCA). Eighty-two percent total variation was observed in the main structured information among the test groups: the first (PC1) and second (PC2) components of variation were 59 and 23%, respectively. Eight parameters (sweet flavor, pork aroma, bitterness, rancidity, salty flavor, color, sour flavor and citrus aroma) were utilized to describe the main sensory characteristic of the sausages. Addition of 0.5, 1 & 2% citrus peel was obviously correlated with PC1 (salty flavor, sour flavor and citrus aroma, pork aroma, and sweet flavor and rancidity), whereas addition of 0.5 & 1% Lentinus edodes was related with PC2 (aroma and rancidity).

Abalone, Haliotis diversicolor japonica, is one of the most palatable sea foods in Jeju-Do, Korea : however relatively little is known about the characteristics of its taste. This study was undertaken to establish the basic data for evaluating the taste compounds in the extract of abalone including nucleotides and their related compounds, free amino acids, trimethylamine oxide, trimethylamine and total creatinine. The amount of AMP was $2.21{\mu}mole/g$ while IMP and inosine was trace in content. In the extracts, taurine, arginine and glycine were abundant holding $39.9\%,\;25.4\%,\;14.0\%$ of total free amino acids content respectively, but tyrosine and phenylalanine was trace in content. TMAO, TMA and total creatinine were poor in content marking $5.4mg\%,\;1.0mg\%\;and\;5.0mg\%$. It was presumed that the characteristic flavor of abalone was mainely attributed to free amino acids. Organic acids, nucleotides and their related compounds played auxiliary role in the characteristic flavor of abalone.

Objective: Japanese Brown (JBR) cattle, especially the Kochi (Tosa) pedigree (JBRT), is a local breed of moderately marbled beef. Despite the increasing demand, the interbreed differences in muscle metabolites from the highly marbled Japanese Black (JBL) beef remain poorly understood. We aimed to determine flavor-related metabolites and postmortem metabolisms characteristic to JBRT beef in comparison with JBL beef. Methods: Lean portions of the longissimus thoracis (loin) muscle from four JBRT cattle were collected at 0, 1, and 14 d postmortem. The muscle metabolomic profiles were analyzed using capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The difference in post-mortem metabolisms and aged muscle metabolites were analyzed by statistical and bioinformatic analyses between JBRT (n = 12) and JBL cattle (n = 6). Results: A total of 240 metabolite annotations were obtained from the detected signals of the JBRT muscle samples. Principal component analysis separated the beef samples into three different aging point groups. According to metabolite set enrichment analysis, post-mortem metabolic changes were associated with the metabolism of pyrimidine, nicotinate and nicotinamide, purine, pyruvate, thiamine, amino sugar, and fatty acid; citric acid cycle; and pentose phosphate pathway as well as various amino acids and mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism. The aged JBRT beef showed higher ultimate pH and lower lactate content than aged JBL beef, suggesting the lower glycolytic activity in postmortem JBRT muscle. JBRT beef was distinguished from JBL beef by significantly different compounds, including choline, amino acids, uridine monophosphate, inosine 5'-monophosphate, fructose 1,6-diphosphate, and betaine, suggesting interbreed differences in the accumulation of nucleotide monophosphate, glutathione metabolism, and phospholipid metabolism. Conclusion: Glycolysis, purine metabolism, fatty acid catabolism, and protein degradation were the most common pathways in beef during postmortem aging. The differentially expressed metabolites and the relevant metabolisms in JBRT beef may contribute to the development of a characteristic flavor.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the physiochemical properties of blackberry fruit beverage(BFB) and to develop a descriptive analysis procedure for evaluating the sensory characteristics of BFB. The amount of soluble solid, free sugar, pH, acidity, chromaticity, flavonoid, and anthocyanin of BFB were determined. All BFB samples demonstrated significantly different physicochemical properties(p<.01). Ten highly trained panelists identified the following eleven sensory attributes in the BFB and defined by standardized terminology for each attribute; turbidity, chromaticity for appearance characteristics, berry, grass, fermented, sweet, astringent, and sour for flavor characteristics, throat hit, refreshing, as well as astringent grade for textural characteristics. There were significant differences in all the eleven sensory attributes of the BFB samples(p<.001). Descriptive terminology used in the BFB analysis was capable of classifying the sensory attributes of the BFB. Based on these results, the analysis method and sensory evaluation techniques used in this study could be reasonably applied to other fruit beverages for establishing similar physiochemical characteristic and descriptive sensory attributes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate consumer behavior and perception of Korean cheongju (rice-wine). An online survey, conducted from July 24, 2015 to July 31 2015, targeted 500 males and females adults in Seoul, Busan, Daejeon, Gwangju, Daegu, Incheon and Ulsan. Male respondents were more likely to drink more often than female respondents. Male respondents preferred 'beer', 'soju', and 'cheongju/yakju' in that order while female respondents preferred 'beer', 'cheongju/yakju', and 'soju' in that order. The reasons for drinking cheongju were 'taste' and 'flavor' for both males and females. The most important characteristic of Korean cheongju product included 'use of domestic ingredients', followed by 'tradition of brewing'. Both males and females responded that an important element of taste/flavor were 'simple/pure taste' when brewing Korean cheongju. In the survey of image recognition of Korean cheongju, 'tradition' and 'trust' were the most important. Therefore, it is necessary to develop various marketing strategies by understanding consumer preferences and perception of Korean cheongju.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of cereals on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Noti. Noti is one of Korean traditional pan-fried glutinous cereal cakes. Noti made from the steamed glutinous rice flour, glutinous Chinese millet flour, glutinous millet flour or glutinous Indian millet flour is saccharified with malt, and then pan-fried. Noti also has sweet taste without sugar added. In addition, Noti has elastic characteristic, high calorie and good flavor. Long storage makes it better taste. In this case, Noti was made from the steamed glutinous rice flour. By the sensory evaluation, color, flavor and moistness were unfavorable according to the storage. Consistency was not strongly increased when comparing with the common rice cake depending upon the storage. The texture tended to increase by storage period. Optimum conditions of the safe storage and overall acceptability were to add 15% malt and keep 6hr saccharification time at 60$^{\circ}C$. During the period of storage for 90 days, reducing sugar content was similar, moisture content was low and maintained, and the acid value was not increased abruptly. The hardness was not increased rapidly and fungal growth was considerably low. Cohesiveness and elasticity were increased during storage.

Changes in the quality characteristics of doenjang prepared with a meju containing components of Acanthopanax senticosus, Angelica gigas and Corni fructus during storage were evaluated. Three types of doenjang produced using each of these components showed lower Hunter's L and a values than the values of the control during the initial stage of storage: however, these values were similar to those of the control after 60 days of storage. Doenjang containing A. gigas showed a similar degree of browning to that of the control during the early stage of storage, while the degree of browning observed in the other samples was much higher than that og the control during this period. Despite these initial differences, the browning in all samples became similar after extended storage. The level of acidity increased gradually for up to 60 days, after which it decreased slightly. The pH of all treatments decreased with storage time. The amino-N contents of all types of doenjang increased gradually, reaching peak values after 60 days. Doenjang with A. senticosus and A. gigas had a strong characteristic flavor that reduced the native flavor of doenjang. Doenjang with C. fructus showed a similar overall palatability to that of the control.

Objectives : Based on the entries on each medicinal's 'specification' and the phrase '所以然' in the Shennong Bencao Baizhonglu, this paper aims to examine Xu Dachun's understanding of herbal medicinals. Methods : One hundred medicinals from the text were sorted into eight categories: Qi, flavor, color, form, quality, nature and characteristic, time of growth, and producer, then examined. Results : 1. Medicinals related to Qi were aromatic and pungent and warm. 2. Medicinals related to flavor were explained according to the Five Flavors' nature in terms of the thing and its functions theory. 3. Medicinals related to color were explained in relation to the Five Colors, whose interpretations were rather erratic. 4. Medicinals related to form were explained as it being possible to figure out their effects based on each medicinal's shape and form. 5. Medicinals related to quality were those that were used to manage dryness and dampness using their dry or wet qualities. 6. Medicinals related to nature and characteristics needed to be understood in their originality to grasp their unique abilities. 7. Both producer and time of growth were closely related to each medicinal's efficacy. Conclusions : Understanding of the application of medicinals in the Shennong Bencaojing through continuous examination into each medicinal's 'specification' and 'its reasoning', together with their clinical application, will allow for learners to build an understanding of herbal medicinals.
