The quality characteristics of doenjangs added with squid internal organs were evaluated. The contents of moisture, salt and amino type nitrogen were similar among traditional doenjang and squid doenjang(I, II, III). But the color values were different. pH and peroxide value(POV) were high in squid doenjangs. Squid doenjang(I, II, III) contained much taurine($53.26{\sim}170.90\;mg%$) and ${\alpha}-aminobutyric$ acid($35.17{\sim}151.00\;mg%$) which were not detected in traditional doenjang. Also aspartic acid and glutamic acid related to palatable taste, threonine, serine and proline related to sweet tastes were much more in squid doenjangs. Contents of isoleucine and leucine related to bitter taste were similar with traditional doenjangs. Comparing with traditional doenjang, volatile flavor components in squid doenjangs had high ratio of esters such as ethylbutylether and aldehydes such as 2-propanal, 3-methylbutanal in contrast with low alcohols. Especially ethylbutylether, 2-propanol, 3-methyl-1-butanal, 2,6,10,14-tetramethyl-pentadecane, ethyllinoleate were only in squid doenjangs. From the sensory evaluation after 4 weeks, squid doenjang(II) added with 10% squid internal organs obtained the highest scores for taste as differing from traditional soybean paste and squid doenjang(I). But the total acceptability was higher in traditional doenjang because of strong fishy smell and dark color in squid doenjang. After 8 weeks squid doenjang(I, II) obtained high scores for taste and low scores for color and flavor.

To investigate the flavor components of sun-dried ray, Raja porasc, the contents of such as free amino acids, nucleotides and their related compounds, total creatinine, betaine, TMAO, fatty adds, and volatile compounds were analysed. The content of total free amino acids was 1773.3mg% on dry basis and the abundant amino acids were taurine, lysine, leucine, alanine, glycine, glutamic acid, proline, and valine in order and these amino acids accounted for 80% of total free amino acids in sun-dried ray. In the nucleotides and their related compounds, hypoxanthine was the most abundant. Ammonia-N was the most abundant, resulting 26.4% of extractive nitrogen which was 1965.6mg% and next free amino acid-N, total creatinine-N, and nucleotide-N in order. In the fatty acid composition of total lipid and neutral lipid, polyenoic acid was abundant holding 42.0%, 45.3% respectively. In phospholipid, the ratio of polyenoic acid and saturated fatty acid were similar to 39% respectively. The predominant fatty acids in total lipid, neutral lipid, and phospholipid were $C_{16:0},\;C_{22:6},\;C_{18:1},\;C_{18:0},\;and\;C_{20:4}$. In the volatile compounds, isocaproic acid, caproic acid, isobutyric acid, and butyric acid were the major portion of the 8 kinds of volatile fatty acids detected and 2-butanone, pentanal, and 2-methylpropanal were the major portion of the 8 kinds of volatile carbonyl compounds detected and also trimethylamine was the major portion of 2 kinds of volatile amines detected. It was presumed from the results that the reciprocal action of taste compounds such as free amino acids, nucleotides and their related compounds total creatinine, betaine, and TMAO and volatile compounds such as volatile carbonyl compounds, volatile fatty acids, volatile amines, and ammonia played an important role for the characteristics of flavor of sun-dried ray.

Omega-3 rich fish oils are extremely labile, thus requiring control of oxidation and off flavor development. A recently proposed emulsification method, layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition, was found to be a plausible method to enhance the characteristics of bioactive ingredients, especially lipids. The present work was designed to test the possibility of enhancing the uptake and utilization of omega-3 fatty acids present in fish oil. The bioavailability of nano-emulsified fish oil was monitored in terms of intestinal absorption as well as skin permeability by using the everted intestinal sac model and Franz cell model. The skin permeability and intestinal absorption characteristics was significantly improved by LbL emulsification with lecithin/chitosan/low methoxypectin. Multilayer encapsulation along with nano-emulsification can be a useful method to deliver biologically active lipids and related components, such as fish oil. The protective effect of this tool from lipid oxidation still needs to be verified.

Snow crab Chionoecetes japonicus cooker effluent (SCCE) is a processing byproduct that is produced in large quantities during snow crab processing. However, it is typically discarded due to the lack of a suitable application or used only as a seasoning following simple concentration. We performed a series of studies to make crab-like flavorings (CFs) from SCCE using response surface methodology and reaction flavor technology. To develop material for CFs, taste compounds in the precipitate of SCCE (PSCCE) and the enzymatic hydrolysate of PSCCE (EHSCCE) were analyzed. The content of free amino acids in EHSCCE was 21.6 times higher than that in PSCCE. The major compounds in PSCCE were arginine, glycine, taurine, alanine and sarcosine in that order; leucine, phenylalanine, arginine, valine and lysine were the major compounds in EHSCCE. Six nucleotides and related compounds were identified in EHSCCE. Hypoxanthine ($40.3{\mu}g/100g$) was the most abundant, followed by 5'-GMP ($22.9{\mu}g/100g$), ADP ($22.5{\mu}g/100g$), AMP ($21.0 {\mu}g/100g$), inosine ($3.6{\mu}g/100g$) and 5'-IMP ($2.3{\mu}g/100g$).

Soybean is one of the most important sources of protein and oil in the world. Recently, emphasis has been laid on the chemical composition of soybean seeds for the processing soybean foods. Improvement of soybean components has been expected to improve food-processing quality for the processed soybean products such as soymilk and various edible ingredients as well as fur the traditional soyfoods. In Korea, soybean breeding research programmes have been focused on the quality of the products derived from soybean with yield stability, and some new modified soybean varieties haying good food-processing quality were developed recently. So the efforts of establishing standard and standardization of products in soybean are important. Three main categories should be considered in view of soybean seed quality; the marketing value such as grain size, shape, and appearance; the eating and processing value such as dehulled ratio, water absorption rate, and benny flavor; the nutritional value such as protein, lipid, and carbohydrate contents. And the new frontiers in research are looking at the functional nutrients in soybeans and how to improve them. In case marketing value, mainly the appearance is evaluated, therefore, each country has an application of standard related to quality. Each determination of standard class, heat-damaged kernels, splits, and soybeans of other colors is made on the basis of the grain when free from foreign materials. But processing value and nutritional value for standardization were not studied in detail till now. In addition, soybean has potential roles in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, most notably cancer, osteoporosis, and heart disease. The functional nutrients include a protease inhibitor, phytic acid, saponins, and isoflavones, etc.. It is believed that standardization of soybean quality should perform to overcome the difficulties, relatively high price of domestic soybean products has weakened the competitive power, in the market related to WTO. So, we should focus on further research into the evaluation and establishment of quality-standard in soybean.

Microbial counts, enzyme activities and taste components of traditional kochujangs prepared with the powders from 4 different varieties of red pepper, were investigated during 90 days fermentation for the industrial production of traditional kochujang. The viable cell counts of anaerobic bacteria in kochujangs did not change remarkably during fermentation, however, aerobic bacterial counts showed a rapid increase up to 90 days of aging. The yeasts in all kochujang samples increased until 60 days of aging and than decreased. After 90 days of aging, the count of aerobic bacteria in Kumtop kochujang was higher than those of others. The activities of liquefying amylase decreased during the aging, but those of saccharogenic amylase increased at 60 days of aging. The activities of neutral protease were higher than those of acidic protease, and increased during the middle and last period of aging. The major free sugars of kochujang were maltose and glucose, and their contents were higher in Hongkwang kochujang. The major organic acids of kochujang were succinic, formic and citric acid, followed by lactic acid. Succinic acid content in kochujang decreased during fermentation, whereas formic and citirc acids were increased. The major free amino acids were serine, proline, glutamic acid, aspartic acid and alanine. Kumtop kochujang contained the highest amount of total free amino acids. Among the nucleotides and related components in kochujang, cytidine-5-monophosphate was the most abundant component at the begining of aging period, while hypoxanthine increased remarkably during fermentation. Hanwang kochujang was higher in the content of nucleotides than others. Capsaicin contents of kochujang decreased during aging and those of Jangter kochujang was higher than that of others. Sensory evaluation showed that Jangter kochujang was significantly better than Kumtop kochujang in overall acceptability, but there were no appreciable differences in color and flavor.

Kimchi, a traditional vegitable fermented food in Korea, was prepared and fermented at $5^{\circ}C$ in order to analyze the taste and flavor compounds. Major flavor components were identified as dimethyl-disulfide, dimethyl-trisulfide, dipropyl-disulfide, 1-butane 1-isothiocyanate, diallyl-disulfide by GC and GC/MS. Some organic acids such as lactic acid and citric acid increased from 1.2mg/100g and 5.4mg/100g in the initial stage to 33.3mg/100g and 44.4mg/100g at the end of fermentation, respectively. Free amino acids in kimchi were found to play an important role for the taste. The contents of total free amino acid increased from 316.3mg/100g to 600mg/100g in the fermented kimchi and glutamic acid, alanine, valine, leucine, lysine and arginine were abundant in kimchi. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the taste of kimchi was closely related to the contents of non-volatile organic acid, free amino acid and pH.
