Successive application of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DSM 70424 and Saccharomyces rouxii DSM 2535 or DSM 2531 in the production of non-alcoholic beer was investigated. The aim of the study was to consider the impact of the 2 mentioned strains of S. rouxii on the reduction of alcohol content in wort fermented at 12 or $24^{\circ}C$ for 96 hr, applying periodic aeration. The 2 S. rouxii strains were added at the $48^{th}$ hr of fermentation after thermal inactivation of S. cerevisiae cells. The greatest alcohol decrease rate was observed for the treatment containing S. rouxii DSM 2535-fermented at $24^{\circ}C$ (from 1.56 to 0.36%). The concentration of acetaldehyde, diacetyl, and 2,3-pentandione, that have a key role in appearance of 'wort' and 'buttery' off flavors, were significantly lower in S. rouxii-containing treatments fermented at $24^{\circ}C$. S. rouxii-containing treatment fermented at $24^{\circ}C$ showed slightly lower overall flavor acceptability compared to S. cerevisiae-containing treatment fermented at the same temperature. Such score was improved for the products obtained at $12^{\circ}C$.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the quality characteristics of Sprouted Brown Rice Dasik(SBRD) manufactured with various addition levels of honey and Yujacheong(Yuja syrup and Yuja sarcocarp) in accordance with the traditional method for the preparation of Korean Dasik(a kind of cookie). The nutritional components, color value, physical tests, volatile compounds, and sensory evaluation of SBRD to which Yujacheong was added were conducted. The results were summarized as follows. In SBRD to which Yujacheong had been added, the moisture contents and crude fat content did not differ significantly among the sample groups, and the contents of crude protein and crude ash increased with increasing additions of Yuja syrup and Yuja sarcocarp. The pH(p<0.001) and sweetness(p<0.001) were significantly higher in sample D1 than in samples D2 and D4. The L color value was highest in D2, the a value was highest in D3, and the b value was highest in sample D2. The texture property analysis showed that the cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness of SBRD to which Yujacheong was added were all significantly higher compared to sample D1. According to the results of our volatile analysis, the D1 and other experimental groups evidenced different flavors and antibacterial compositions. According to the results of our sensory evaluation, the appearance of the D1 sample was superior to the other samples. However, flavor, taste, texture, and overall preference were higher in the samples to which Yuja syrup and Yuja sarcocarp were added. These results indicate that SBRD to which Yujacheong was added, and particularly those to which Yuja syrup was added, is superior to Dasik prepared with honey in terms of flavor and taste, and this method will improve the flavor and preparation time, due to its lower pH.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of mixed starter cultures isolated from kimchi on physicochemical properties, functionality and flavors of fermented ham. Physicochemical properties, microbial counts, shear force, cholesterol contents and volatile compounds of fermented ham were investigated during processing (curing and ripening time). Curing process for 7 d increased saltiness, however, decreased hunter color values (L, a, and b values). Ripening process for 21 d increased most parameters, such as saltiness, color values, weight loss, shear force and cholesterol content due to the drying process. The mixed starter culture had higher lactic acid bacteria than the commercial one. While eight volatile compounds were identified from fermented hams during curing process, total fiftyeight volatile compounds were identified from fermented hams during ripening process. The main volatile compounds were alcohols, esters and furans. However, no differences in volatile compounds were observed between two batches. Fermented hams (batch B) manufactured with probiotic starter culture (LPP) had higher sensory score in texture, color and overall acceptability than counterparts (batch A), while the opposite trend was observed in flavor. Therefore, mixed probiotic starter culture isolated from kimchi might be used as a starter culture to be able to replace with commercial starter culture (LK-30 plus) for the manufacture of fermented ham.

This study was designed to develop non-thermal pasteurized fresh apple juice by applying pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment. The effect of non-thermal PEF treatment on physicochemical and sensory properties of apple juice was examined by measuring changes in vitamin C contents, colors, flavors and sensory properties. Color of PEF and heat treated apple juices was not significantly different from each other. Vitamin C content of PEF treated apple juice was close to that of fresh apple juice, but was much higher than that of heat treated apple juice. Heat treated apple juice lost 70% of flavor components, whereas PEF-treated apple juice lost only 15%. Sensory scores of PEF treated apple juice were significantly higher than heat-treated one in flavor, taste and overall acceptability. In conclusion, PEF treated apple juice had superior physico-chemical and sensory properties to heat-treated one.

To investigate the image, preference, importance and satisfaction of foreign visitors to Korean foods, 220 visitors (male 104, female 115) were surveyed with questionnaires in English and Japanese. To achieve this research purpose, frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, t-test, and one way ANOVA was performed using the SPSS 15.0 program. Subjects had various nationality such as Europe/Oceania (24.7%/), Asia (23.3%), Africa (12.8), and North America (39.3). The representative food was kimchi > bibimbop > bulgogi but the most favorite food was bibimbop > kalbi > bulgogi in order. Like this, there are some discrepancies among the food choice, especially in kimchi, so the taste of kimchi should be improved according to the foreigners' taste. The results of the preference about the image get the high grade from those factors; the resonable price of Korean food, the spicy taste, various kinds of food according to the settings of the table, good for the health with excellent taste. Foreigners consider that the cleanliness of food and tableware, the sanitation of the restaurants, the taste of the food and freshness of ingredients are the important factors in Korean food and Korean restaurants. According to these factors, the satisfaction is affected by the attitude of servers > the taste of the food > the freshness of the ingredients > the amount of the food > the atmosphere of the restaurants > the cleanliness of the tableware in order. From the relationship between the importance and the satisfaction, the low grade food should improve the color and styling of the food and be served the appropriate amount of the food. Moreover, it is needed to improve the combining the spices and the ingredients to maintain a balance between strong and delicate flavors and with this, Korean food should be more globalized to promote the development of Korea tourism.

This study was conducted to improve the food functional and sensory food quality of Hizikia fusiforme by the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria. Seven strains of lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional Korean fermented food were inoculated and cultivated in H. fusiforme water extract. Among them, Lactobacillus brevis LB-20, isolated from Kimchi, was selected for further study by considering the results of bacterial growth, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and sensory evaluation. No significant differences in proximate compositions (moisture, crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash) were observed by the fermentation of L. brevis LB-20. The most dramatical change was the conversion from glutamate to ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in H. fusiforme water extract fermented by L. brevis LB-20. The GABA content increased approximately 60-fold after 48 hr of fermentation. The bacterial fermentation also resulted in low-molecularization of the extract. The particle size of the fermented extract became approximately 4-fold smaller than that of the law extract. In addition, the analysis of volatile flavor compounds using GC/MS revealed that the bacterial fermentation dramatically removed off-flavors such as acetaldehyde, haxanal, diallyl disulphide and 1-penten-2-ol in the H. fusiforme extract.

Free fatty acids of two brands of domestic butter were isolated directly by a modified silicic acid column chromatography, and were analyzed by gas liquid chromatography. $C_{18}$ FFA congeners $(C_{18_0},\;C_{18:1},\;C_{18:2}\;and\;C_{18:3})$ were the predominant components (52.83% in brand A and 47.50% in brand B), followed by $C_{16}$FFA (29.39% in brand A and 30.52% in brand B) and $C_{14}$FFA (11.85% in brand A and 13.76% in brand B). The other FFA were present as minor components (0.29-3.87%). Concentrations of four FFA $(C_4,\;C_6,\;C_{10}\;and\;C_{12})$FFA which would be expected to contribute strongly to hydrolytic rancidity off-flavors were below individual threshold level, except $C_4FFA$ (56 ppm) in butter B.
