Mideoduck drips were mixed with amino acids (Met, Tau, Gly, Ala, Thr, Cys), thiamine and sugars (Glucose, Ribose) for flavor modification and evaluation using the Maillard reaction. To mask the seafood flavor, onions, spring onions, garlic, ginger, citric orange and green tea were mixed with Mideoduck drips at $160^{\circ}C$ for 2.5 hr in a stainless still reaction bomb. The glucose/thiamine model reaction system was estimated to be lower than the ribose/thiamine model system, and an extreme case is the ribose/Met model system. Mixed system of glucose, ribose and taurine containing sulfur compounds showed fair results. Among the Mideoduck drips mixed with sugars and amino groups, only thiamine model systems were estimated to be normal. The flavor composition of Mideoduck drips/sugars model system, and long chain fatty acids were composed of 31.32~62.71% total flavor content. The 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid dibutylester contents made up more than 20% of the model system in groups A, B and C. From the model system in this study, drip/glucose, drip/ribose, drip/glucose/citric orange, and drip/glucose/glycine/cystine groups showed most intense good flavor.

Several tests were conducted to study lipoxygenase activity and off-flavor developement in frozen sweet corn. Fresh corn contained about 60% of total lipoxygenase activity in the germ section. When non-blanched frozen sweet corn was stored at $-10^{\circ}F$, it developed off-flavor and most significant changes in the flavor profile of off-flavored sweet corn was $4{\sim}5$ times higher hexanal peaks. The high hexanal peaks observed in the sterilized sweet corn with added lipoxygenase, alone and in combination with other enzymes, suggested the fact that high hexanal peaks in off-flavored sweet corn could be due to an oxidative reaction of lionleic acid (and other unsaturated fatty acids) catalyzed by lipoxygenase. Based on lipoxygenase activity and linoleic acid content in sweet corn, this reaction occur most heavily in the germ section of sweet corn. There was a significant relationship between flavor score of frozen stored corn-on-the-cob and hexanal peak in the germ section of corn-on-the-cob. This result indicated that hexanal peak could be used as an objective index of off-flavor development in frozen sweet corn.

To develop an effective use for poor-quality individually quick-frozen (IQF) oysters Crassostrea gigas stored for a long period, the extract conditions, quality characteristics, and optimum reaction flavoring (RF) conditions of a complex extract from these IQF oysters were investigated. The moisture, pH, and volatile basic nitrogen contents of IQF oysters stored for 18 months (18M-IQFO) were 77.9%, 6.32, and 17.9 mg/100 g, respectively. Three different kinds of extract were prepared from 18M-IQFO: a hot-water extract (HE), scrap enzymatic hydrolysate (EH), and complex extract (CE). The respective extracts contained 5.5, 8.6, and 6.6% crude protein and 281.7, 366.0, and 343.0 mg/100 g amino nitrogen, and had 811, 359, and 1,170 mL/kg extraction yields. The CE was superior to the traditional HE in terms of the extraction yield, amino-nitrogen content, and organoleptic qualities, except for the odor. To improve flavor via the Maillard reaction, the reaction system used to produce a desirable flavor comprised CE (Brix $30^{\circ}$), 0.4 M glucose, 0.4 M glycine, and 0.4 M cysteine solution (4:2:1:1, v/v). The reaction time and pH were the independent variables, and the sensory scores for baked potato odor, masking shellfish odor, and boiled meat odor were the dependent variables. The surface response methodology (RSM) analysis of the multiple responses optimization gave a reaction time of 120.6 minutes and pH 7.33 at $120^{\circ}C$. The reaction improved the flavor of CE considerably, as compared to that of the unreacted extract.

The volatile compounds produced from the browning reaction of 0.5M DL-alanine and 0.5M D-glucose mixture using propylene glycol as a reaction medium were analysed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and effects of temperature($100^{\circ}C,\;120^{\circ}C,\;140^{\circ}C$) and time(20min, 2hours) on the formation of volatile compounds were investigated. Browning reaction were rapidly increased as the reaction temperature and time increased. From methylene chloride extracts, twenty six compounds, including 7 alkyl pyrazines. 4 pyrroles, 3 furans, 1 furanone and 11 miscellaneous compounds were identified. The relative amounts of pyrazines, pyrroles and furans were markedly increased as reaction temperature and time increased. The results showed that caramel-like and burnt sugar-like aroma produced by alanine -glucose reaction must be mainly comprised of nitrogeneous heterocyclic such as pyrazines, pyrroles and oxygen heterocyclic compounds such as 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one and 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone.

Currently, the consumer trends are increasing towards "natural" in all food systems. Therefore, in the flavor industry, the production of flavor esters by "natural" methods are needed. On the other hand, "natural flavor" is expensive to produce because of the limited natural source. Recently, the flavor obtained from the enzyme or microbial could be represented as "natural flavor". Ethyl butyrate is used most frequently as a fruity aroma in drinks and the processed food industry. In this study, ethyl butyrate was synthesized enzymatically using the ester synthetase obtained from the waste of pineapple and banana peel. The ethyl butyrate production optimization was analyzed using a response surface methodology. The enzyme reaction variances were composed of the ethanol content, butyric acid content, and reaction time. As a result, in ester synthetase obtained from banana peel, the maximum predicted production amounts were 45.8199 mM at an ethanol content of 38.7050 mM, butyric acid content of 50.9019 mM, and reaction time of 4.3662 h. In ester synthetase obtained from pineapple peel, the maximum predicted production was 65.1087 mM at an ethanol content of 54.6502 mM, butyric acid content of 58.7638 mM, and reaction time of 4.7436 h. In conclusion, ethyl butyrate production was shown the more useful using the ester synthetase obtained from pineapple peel than that from banana peel.

Crab-like flavoring base (CFB) was made from a concentrated snow crab cooker effluent (SCCE) containing five food additives (proline, glycine, arginine, methionine, fructose) using reaction flavor technology (RFT). The volatile flavor compounds in CFB were compared between raw (SCCE) and control (without food additives) samples using solid phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography with mass selective detector. A total of 74 compounds were detected in all samples (30 raw samples, 34 control samples, 55 CFB samples). A total of 22 nitrogen-containing compounds, including 19 pyrazines and 3 pyridines, were formed through RFT and increased 27 times compared to the control. Dimethyl trisulfide and dimethyl disulfide were predominant sulfur-containing compounds that increased through RFT, while aromatic compounds decreased through RFT. Seven compounds, tetramethylpyrazine, 2-ethyl-3,5,6-trimethylpyrazine, 2,3,5-trimethyl-6-(3-methylbutyl)pyrazine, 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethyl-3-(3-methylbutyl)pyrazine, 2-ethyl-3,6-dimethylpyrazine, and 2-decanone potentially have a role in CFB odor by Pearson's correlation analysis.

Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were produced from aqueous solution of various sugars with hydrolyzed wheat gluten (HWG) with different temperatures, pressures, pH values and solvents. The physicochemical properties of MRPs were investigated and DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and sensory properties were also assessed. MRPs from ribose and HWG evidenced the highest preference for meaty flavor and antioxidant activity and also evidenced higher antioxidant activity with larger pH reductions and higher browning index increases than were observed in other MRPs. The antioxidant activities were increased with increased reaction temperature and pressure. The most preferred meaty flavor was obtained from MRPs with ribose at 140$^{\circ}C$ in an oil bath with the pH adjusted to 9 in water as a solvent, and heated for 30 mins.

The aim of this study was to determine volatile flavor compounds in Shingo pear juice. Volatile flavor compounds were analyzed using solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) - gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The effect of inorganic salts solution on the extraction ability of the SPME fiber was treated by adding saturated $CaCl_2$ solution at the ratio of 1:20 (v/v) after 0, 60, 120 min of preparing pear juice, respectively. As a result, a total of 22 volatile compounds were identified in Shingo pear juice. Ethyl acetate was found to be the most abundant volatile compound ($13.36{\sim}19.61{\mu}g/kg$), followed in order by hexanal, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl 3-(methylthio)-2-propenoate, ethyl octanoate and 2-hexenal. Total contents of volatile flavor compounds were $31.07{\mu}g/kg$ (control), $40.93{\mu}g/kg$ (0 min), $27.62{\mu}g/kg$ (60 min) and $26.32{\mu}g/kg$ (120 min). This result indicated that the addition of saline solutions could inhibit the enzymatic reaction of volatile flavor compounds effectively when treated as soon as juice preparation.

Low-salted and fermented squid product, squid jeotkal was prepared with the addition of 10% salt and fermented for 50 day at 1$0^{\circ}C$. During fementation of squid, sensory evaluation and changes of volatile components were examined. Volatile flavor components in raw squid and low-salted squid jeotkal were extracted using a rotary evaporating system. The volatile concentrates were identified by GC and GC-MS. Major volatile components of raw squid were methional and 2-methyl-2-propanol. However, alcohols such as propanol, isoamyl alcohol, methionol and phenylethyl alcohol increased during the period of fermentation. The model reaction using microorganism was carried out, in order to confirm formation mechanism ofvolatile flavor compounds of the squid during fermentation. The main volatile components of Pseudomonas sp. D2 model system were isoamyl alcohol and acetoin. Those of Staphylococcus xylosus model system were isoamyl alcohol and phenylacetaldehyde.

Crab-like flavorants (CFs) were made from snow crab cooker effluent (SCCE) using response surface methodology (RSM) and reaction flavoring technology (RFT). Type A CF was made from SCCE via RSM, RFT, adding starch syrup, centrifugation, and microfiltration. Type B was made from type A by adding the food additives dimethyl sulfide, ethyl valerate and fish sauce. The stability of the CFs was evaluated in terms of the color values, sensory evaluation, and flavor profiles after storage for 90 days at three different temperatures: 10, 20, and $30^{\circ}C$. The compounds, ethanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol, were considered key components of off-flavor and a decrease in dimethyl-2-vinylpyrazine affected the occurrence of off-flavor. It may be a microbial metabolite arising from contamination and lab-scale micro-filtration. At the lowest temperature ($10^{\circ}C$), the decrease in volatile compounds, such as pyrazines, was not as dramatic as at $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ and alcohol formation was prevented or delayed. Therefore, it is necessary to store CFs at < $10^{\circ}C$ with suitable sterilization to preserve volatile flavor compounds and prevent off-flavor from occurring.
