Traditional doenjang with Lentinus edodes added at a concentration of 0, 3, 5 and 10% (w/w) was prepared and its physicochemical characteristics were analyzed during fermentation for 6 months. The moisture content, salt level and pH for doenjang were decreased with increasing addition of Lentinus edodes powder, but crude protein content was increased. Among the free sugars, glucose, galactose, arabinose, sucrose and maltose were identified and quantified, with the first two being the major free sugar. Minerals were detected in the order of Na> K> P> Ca> Mg> Fe while the content of Cu, Mn and Zn exhibited little change. The contents of each amino acid of traditional doenjang with added Lentinus edodes, glutamic, leucine and aspartic acids, had a much higher level. In fatty acid compositions, palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids were analyzed, with oleic acid being the most abundant fatty acid at $56.4{\pm}0.8\sim57.5{\pm}0.5%$ in all the tested samples. GMP and IMP contents of nucleotides and their related compounds were extremely high. It was thought that these substances contributed to the sweet taste of traditional doenjang with added Lentinus edodes. These results showed the applicability and high quality of traditional doenjang with added Lentinus edodes.

In order to increase the production of tryptophan by maximizing expression of recombinant trp plasmid, Klebsiella pneumoniae KC 105(pheA tyrA trpE trpR tyrR) was genetically modified. KC 107, inosine monophospate(IMP) auxotroph from KC 105 and KC 108, histidine(His) auxotroph from KC 107 were also derived respectively to increase phosphoribosylpyrophosphate(PRPP) production which is required for tryptophan biosynthesis. From KC 107 phosphoribosylpyrophosphate consumption which is required for tryptophan biosynthesis. From KC 107 and KC 108, KC 109 and KC 110, both arginine auxotrophs were derived respectively. To investigate the expression of recombinant trp plasmid in the selected K. pneumoniae mutants, the auxotrophic mutants were transformed with recombinant trp plasmids pSC 101-$trpE^{FBR}$, pSC 101-trpL(.DELTA.att) $trpE^{FBR}$ (pSC 101-trp-AF). Amount of tryptophan produced and activities of tryptophan synthase of $trpR^{-}$ mutant (KC 100) and $tyrR^{-}$ mutnat(KC 105) containing recombinant plasmid pSC 101-trp operon were increased by 30-40% as compared with KC 99(pheA tyrA trpE) containing recombinant plasmid pSC 101-trp operon. Activities of tryptophan synthase and production of tryptophan of KC 108 ($His^{-}$) and KC 109($Arg^{-}$) containing recombinant plasmid pSC 101-trp operon were increase by two-fold as compared with KC 107 containing pSC 101-trp operon.

Due to the advantage of RP-HPLC with a variety of compositions of mobile phases, experiments on water-soluble charged species were examined. The samples were mononucleotides (5-CMP, 5-UMP, 5-GMP, 5-IMP, 5-AMP), and the buffers used were sodium phosphate monobasic and acetic acid. The concentrations of buffers ranged from 0.01 to 10 mM, while that of the methanol, an additive to the mobile phase was 5 to 20 vol.%. To predict the retention factor of a sample in terms of its methanol composition (M, vol.%) and buffer(C(sub)B, mM), the following nonlinear equation is suggested, k= $\frac{a+b C_B}{(1+c C_B) M^d}($ where a, b, c, and d were experimentally determined constants. The regression coefficients were above 0.96, and the agreement between experimental and calculated retention factors were relatively good.

The pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas has a desirable taste and flavor that differs from those of other fish and shellfish. In order to develop a high value-added product from individually quick-frozen oyster extract (IQFOE), we prepared an oyster granular flavor seasoning (OGS) from IQFOE and characterized its qualities. The OGS was prepared by granular molding and fluidized bed drying with inosine monophosphate (IMP, 0.1%), yeast extract powder (1.4%), tangle extract powder (0.6%), monosodium glutamate (MSG, 5.0%), microcrystalline cellulose (0.6%), lactose (27.5%), salt (33.0%), spray-dried IQFOE (22.5%) as a powdered materials, and IQFOE ($Brix\;25^{\circ}$, 7.0%), soy sauce (0.4%) and water (1.7%) as a liquid materials. The moisture, crude protein, pH and salinity of the OGS were 3.4%, 12.5%, 6.50 and 32.0%, respectively. Especially, the OGS revealed very higher amino-N content (1,856.0 mg/100 g) than that (1,291.2-1,610.2 mg/100 g) of other commercial flavor seasonings. In taste-active compounds, free amino acid contents was 1,359.0 mg/100 g, and major ones were glutamic acid, taurine, hydroxyproline, glycine, lysine, phosphoserine, proline in order. And OGS showed good organoleptic qualities for taste, odor and general preference compared with commercial flavor seasonings on a local market.

This study aimed to carefully investigate the effect of hydrolysis using Flavourzyme on meat quality, antioxidative status, and taste-related compounds in breast of Samgyetang that was supplemented with black garlic (BG). Four different treatment groups were compared: (1) conventional Samgyetang (control), (2) Samgyetang hydrolyzed with Flavourzyme (1%, v/w) (FS), (3) Samgyetang made with the BG extract without hydrolysis (NBG), and (4) BG samgyetang pre-treated with Flavourzyme (1%, v/w) in a water bath at 55℃ for 2.5 h and hydrolyzed before being processed (HBG). All the treatment groups were cooked by retorting at conditions 121℃ and 1.5 kg/cm² for 1 h. Improved umami profiles through the increase of umami-related nucleotides (5c-GMP, 5'-IMP) and free amino acids-aspartic acid and glumtamic acid, in Samgyetang breast was recorded following hydrolysis. The HBG group tended to impart stronger scavenging activity toward free radicals compared with the other two groups, while not differing with NBG group regarding suppressing malondialdehyde. Textural properties were improved through hydrolysis, wherein the shear force value decreased from 2.29 kgf in the control to 1.19 and 1.25 kgf in the FS and HBG group. Moisture percentages were highly retained, with the redness score increasing and the lightness color decreasing following hydrolysis. In conclusion, the results of this study can be a preliminary information of the effect of hydrolysis pre-treatment for BG samgyetang. Further experiments are required to compare various enzymes along with its organoleptic acceptances.

The preservative effect of modified-atmosphere storage on the shelf-life of packed semi-salted and dried mackerel, Scomber japonicus, was examined. The semi-salted and dried mackerel fillets were packed in laminated plastic film bags (polyester/nylon/casted polypropylene: $12{\mu}m/15{\mu}m/60{\mu}m,\;15{\times}16cm$) filled with air (control, C), nitrogen gas (N), deoxygenized air (O) prepared by using free-oxygen absorber enclosed in the bag, in vacuum(V), and stored at $5^{\circ}C$. The quality of packed sample during the storage were examined in terms of viable cell counts of bacteria, thiobarbituric acid(TBA) value, perozide value(POV), volatile basic nitrogen(VBN), trimethylamine(TMA), adenosine triphosphate(ATP) and its related compounds and sensory evaluation. The results obtained are as follows: The pH of all the samples was in the range of $6.1{\pm}0.2$, and the contents of VBN and amino nitrogen of them increased during storage. In color values, L value(lightness) decreased while a and b values (red and yellow) revealed a tendency to increase during storage. The viable cell counts of the control sample(C) increased to $3.0{\times}10^6/g$ after 15 days storage but those of the other samples(V, N and O)were in the range of $2{\sim}6{\times}10^5/g$ after 20 days storage. The content of TMA increased during storage, but the histamine content showed a little change during storage and its content of all samples were less than 16 mg/100g. The inosinic acid(IMP) was rapidly degraded while inosine and hypoxanthine increased during storage. The TBA value of the control(C) reached a peak in 9 days and then decreased gradually while that of the sample(O) showed a little change during storage. The changes in POV of all the samples during storage showed a similar tendency to the TBA value. Fatty acid composition of raw mackerel consists of $35.6\%$ of saturated acid, $30.3\%$ of monoenoic acid and $34.2\%$ of polyenoic acid. The major fatty acid of the sample products were oleic acid($C_{18:1}$), palmitic acid($C_{16:0}$), docosahexaenoic acid($C_{22:6}$). The contents of polyenoic acid such as $C_{22:6},\;C_{20:5}$ decreased during storage while the other fatty acids showed a little change. From the results of sensory evaluation, the shelf-life of the control sample(C) was about 7 days and that of sample(V), (N) and (O) was about 15 days. It was concluded that deoxygenized atmosphere(free-oxygen absorber enclosed in the bag) was a good condition for preserving the quality of semi-salted and dried mackerel.

This study was carried out in order to analyze the changes in nitrogen containing taste compounds of traditional Korean soy sauce with varying Meju concentrations (Meju-water ratios of 1:4 and 1.3:4) and ripening periods (up to 2 years), and to investigate correlation between sensory characteristics and taste compound contents via contents assay and sensory evaluation of soy sauce samples. Nitrogen compound contents were higher in 1.3:4 than in 1:4 for all nitrogen compounds. Free amino acid contents were highest in soy sauce ripened for 210 days. Among amino acids, glutamic acid was highest concentration. Nucleotides and their related compound contents did not vary with concentrations and were highest in the sample ripened for 210 days. In direct sensory evaluation of soy sauce, overall taste preference showed positive correlation to sweet taste. Likewise, overall taste preference showed positive correlation to umami, nutty, sweet taste in the sensory evaluation of seaweed soup seasoned with soy sauce. Sensory evaluation score was higher in 1.3:4 than in 1:4. According to the correlation assay of taste compound contents and sensory evaluations, nitrogen compounds (such as amino type nitrogen), amino acids (such as glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and lysine, and etc.), nucleotides (such as AMP, IMP, and etc) had significant influence on the sensory characteristics of soy sauce, and therefore we can conclude that these compounds affect the taste and quality of soy sauce.

To prepare a new type of fish sauce from skipjack scrap, it was examined the effect of koji on the sauce flavor, conditions of low salt fish sauce processing and the changes of taste com-pounds during its fermentation. To prepare the skipjack scrap sauce, chopped skipjack head paste was mixed with $6.6\%$ skipjack viscera, $26.9\%$ koji, $71\%$ of $25\%$ brine, $13.3\%$ salt and $7.6\%$ glucose, and fermented at $25\pm4^{\circ}C$ for 90 days. The same process was also carried out to prepare the low salt skipjack scrap sauce adding $7.6\%$ sorbitol, $0.3\%$ lactic acid and $9.8\%$ ethyl alcohol instead of $13.3\%$ salt. The major free amino acids in the products were glutamic acid, Iysine, valine, phenylalanine, alanine, leucine and isoleucine at 90 days of fermentation. And the contents of total free amino acids in both products were 3,307mg/00m1, 3,637.1mg/100m1 at 90 days of fermentation. The predominating non-volatile organic acids showed in the products were lactic acid, succinic acid, pyroglutamic acid, which were $90\%$ over contents of the total non-volatile organic acids. Total non-volatile organic acid contents in both products were 1,002.1mg/100ml, 1,312.9mg/100m1 at 90 days of fermentation. During fermentation of sauce, ADP, AMP and IMP were decreased, while inosine and hypoxanthine were increased. The major taste compounds of the products were rove진ed free amino acids and non-volatile organic acids. The nucleotides and their related compounds, total creatinine, betaine, TAMO and sugar were seemed to be having an auxiliary role in taste of those products. Fishy odor in skipjack scrap sauce can be improved by adding koji. And the low salt skipjack scrap sauce ($9.12\%$ of salt contents) can be prepared by the replacement of a part of salt with sorbitol, lactic acid and ethyl alcohol. From the results of sensory evaluation and chemical experiments, the skipjack scrap sauce products supposed to be at least equal to the sold soy sauce on the market in quality.

The hydrolysate of desalinated tuna boiled extract (TBE) were prepared by continuous hydrolysis of TBE using a membrane reactor. TBE and tuna boiled extract hydrolysate (TBEH) were isolated depending on molecular weights. The major molecular weight distributions of TBEH-l0K, TBEH-5K and TBEH-lK were 9,800Da, 3,000Da and 990Da, respectively. The amounts of nucleotides and their related compounds of TBE were 3.47 $\mu$mole/g AMP, 23.75 $\mu$mole/g IMP, 9.07 $\mu$mole/g inosine and 1.89 $\mu$mole/g hypoxanthine. Total content of amino acids having desirable taste (glycine, glutamic acid, alanine, proline, aspartic acid, serine) was about $63\%$ of total amino acid from TBE and about $62\%$ from TBEH. The natural seasoninings were prepared with TBE and TBEH. From the results of sensory evaluations, complex seasoning containing TBEH-1K was almost equal to the shellfish complex seasoning obtained from the market. The mixed sauce which was made by mixing of $50\%$ TBEH sauce and $50\%$ fermented soy sauce was similar to the tradition soybean sauce in product quality and it showed the possibility to be used for the substitute product for acid hydrolyzed soysauce.
