Separation-concentration of sulfur containing heterocyclic compounds(SCHC) from many reaction meat flavors manufactured with Maillard reaction was carried out. Profile of SCHC was identified and analyzed by GC and GC-MSD. The results were as follows. 1. Profile of SCHC could be identified 7 kinds thiazole and 11 kinds thiophene, the major produced compounds were thiophene, thiazolidine, 4-methyl-5-thiazole ethanol. 2. In the case of SCHC, relationship between changes of reaction conditions and the kind of produced components were as same, but produced amounts appeared the difference. Producing amount of complexed SCHC and caramellike note as well as oxygen containing heterocyclic compounds were high level more than high reaction temperature and long time reaction period. 3. Producing ratio of comparative simple structural SCHC were the highest level at reaction conditions of moisture content 50%, reaction temperature 100$^{\circ}C$ and reaction time 2 hours. Reaction conditions for the revelation of reaction meat flavor were below 110$^{\circ}C$ and less than 2 hours. 4. Relationship between moisture content and reaction temperature as well as reaction time had very relative relation. From the change of moisture content and reaction conditions could be obtained the simultaneously profile. Signal presentation for production of reaction meat flavor could be from extraction-separation-concentration of SCHC through simplification of raw-materials in the flavor and seasoning food industry.

This study surveyed the Kimchi preference for French, potential Kimchi improvement for French market adaptation and Kimchi application for French cuisine, with the aim of spreading the recognition of Kimchi throughout the world, especially in France, by giving information and developing local types which could be expected to be suitable for utilization of French food life. The Kimchi experience of 100 persons in France was surveyed for the study. Most (72.0%) had no experience. For the preference of red Kimchi in palatable ripening period depending on sexes, women had a higher Score (M=4.04${\pm}$0.88) than men (M=3.91${\pm}$0.91) did. In the case of white Kimchi, women had a higher score (M=4.09${\pm}$0.90) than men (M=3.98${\pm}$1.01) did, also. The attraction reason of Kimchi for males was the chewing feel, healthy food and spicy taste, and for females was the chewing feel, spicy taste and healthy food orderly. However, the other side of the Kimchi improvement point was decreased fermented order, spicy taste and salinity, but improved orderly appearance. Thus, the Kimchi development point for French was keeping the crisp chewing feel, fermenting better at the fresh than ripening, reducing the fermented order and controlling the spice taste. Types of fermented food similar to Kimchi were involved in more than 80% of French cuisine, with the most common in the survey being pickled cabbage, followed by cabbage salary and fermented salted food orderly. The Kimchi utility as a raw ingredient or a seasoning for French cuisine was firstly as an accompaniment with meat cuisine, followed by appetizer, eating with cooked rice, eating with fish cuisine, orderly for males, whereas for females it was eating with cooked rice, followed by appetizer, eating with fish cuisine and eating with fried potato and orderly. Thus, the French had a similar view to Koreans regarding the accompaniment of Kimchi meat. The developed fusion Kimchi foods were 'Poitrine de porc caramelisee au miel et Kimchi', 'Blanc de barbue aux crevettes roses et Kimchii', 'Kimchi SpringRoll' and 'Potage saint-Germain aux Kimchi'. The French preference for Kimchi utility was generally a high score for the eating the cuisine in which Kimchi was added to meat cuisine.

This study was performed to analyze flavor components of foods, that is, total free amino acids, free glutamic acid(constituent of MSG) and nucleotide relating substances. Twenty-five foods popular to Korean were selected and prepared according to recipes of several cooking books. The results were as follows; In contents of total free amino acids, free glutamic acid and total nucleotide relating substances, similar Patterns were shown. The foods which their major food stuffs were meat, fish and marine products and which a large amount of soy sauce were added to, tended to show high contents. of those On the other hand, although major foodstuffs had relatively high contents of those, foods added other many sub-foodstuffs had shown intermediate contents of those. Soups and watery noodles had low contents of those because of their large water amount. Especially, foods made of vegetables without addition of soy sauce showed low content of IMP. In foods various ratios of free glutamic acid to IMP were calculated. Thus, the proper usage of the chemical seasoning containing nucleotide at various contents should be considered for efficient flavor enhancing effect.

We evaluated the yield of extract, antioxidant compounds (total phenolic, total flavonoid), antioxidant (DPPH assay, ABTS assay, Oyaizu's assay, FRAP assay), and antimicrobial activities of Siraegi (dried radish greens) according to cooking process (non-blanched, blanched, seasoned). The yield of non-blanched Siraegi was 4.91%, blanched Siraegi was 0.33%, and seasoned Siraegi was 7.55%. In total polyphenol and flavonoid contents, seasoned Siraegi extracts showed higher antioxidant compounds ($129.85{\pm}0.62mg$ GAE/100 g FW, $35.56{\pm}1.19mg$ CHE/100 g FW) than non-blanched and blanched. Total antioxidant activities (DPPH assay, ABTS assay, FRAP assay, reducing power) were shown to be in the order of seasoned Siraegi > non-blanched Siraegi > blanched Siraegi. In antimicrobial activity, non-blanched Siraegi (5, 10 mg/disc) showed antimicrobial activity against B. cereus, E. cloacae, and E. coli (9.25 mm), and P. aeruginosa (9 mm) at 10 mg/disc. In terms of antimicrobial activity, non-blanched Siraegi was good but eating the dried vegetable was difficult so it is essential to blanch it. Also, with many added seasonings in the process of cooking, it can be easy to eat. Overall, the results of this study demonstrate that cooked Siraegi with seasoning would be the most efficient way of ingesting the antioxidant material.

Several extraction conditions of mussel were investigated for preparation of the extract as a natural shellfish seasoning. The conditions studied were extraction temperature and time, addition of sodium phosphates and citrate and hydrolysis with commercial proteolytic enzymes. The extracts were prepared by deshelling, grinding and aqueous extraction followed by centrifugation and filtration. Extraction at $90^{\circ}C$ for 40min showed the highest solids yield with less fishy and high umami taste. Among the several phosphates and citrate added, $Na_{3}PO_{4}$ and $Na_{4}P_{2}O_{7}$ at 1% level were most effective in terms of the yield and umami taste. The pH effects showed that pH 10 resulted the highest solids yield of 28% with less fishy taste. Even though the effect of enzymatic hydrolysis was not greatly different among the commercial enzymes tested, Protamex and Protease II were somewhat better than other enzymes in taste. When the mussel were extracted by the combined conditions, hydrolysis with Protamex followed by extraction at $90^{\circ}C$ for 40min with addition of $Na_{3}PO_{4}$ at pH 10, the solid yields increased up to 30% which was about 58% improvement and high intensity of umami taste and less fishy flavor.

kochukaru (chili powder) and various vegetables. As its main ingredient, fresh or sea-water fish is cut into several pieces and boiled with ground beef and green vegetables such as watercress as well as garland chrysanthemum. In addition, onion, radish, chilies, crown daisy, garlic and some times, pumpkin and bean curds are added to the mixture to absorb the kochujang which is the base flavor of this dish. It is then seasoned with kochukaru, garlic, soy sauce and if needed, more kochujang to suit everyone's taste buds. Restaurants that offer this dish often allow you to select your fish from a tank. Many specialty seafood restaurants have several tanks from which you may choose a fish. Popular fish for this dish may include Korean rockfish, flounder, yellow corvina, codfish, croakers, pollacks, and even fresh water fish like carp and trout. In addition, other shell fish such as crabs, clams and oysters can be also added to this soup to compliment and enhance its spicy but refreshing flavor. This soup is one of Korean's most popular dishes while drinking soju. If you order sushi or sashimi, the soup is made from the left-over parts of the fish. The objective of this study is to determine a standardized recipe of Maeun-Tang and to investigate consumption so as to increase its intake opportunities for consumers through its development. Fish species used in Maeuen-Tang's recipes were flounder, Korean rockfish and other fish. Onion, radish, chilies, crown daisy, garlic and some times, pumpkin and bean curds were added to the mixture to absorb the kochujang which is the base flavor of this dish. Most of the stock used in Maeuen-Tang's recipes is pure water, fish stock and vegetable stock, 1.0-1.5 Korean rock fishes and 0.5-1.0 flounders, with its head and bone, which were used in 3-4 portions of Maeun-Tang. Most of the seafood restaurants used seasoning which didn't age and was made by the restaurant. The cooking equipment used in the Maeuen-Tang's recipes were a cook-port and earthen bowl.

A bacterium strain GS-2 isolated from the Korean traditional seasoning food, Chungkookjang and was determined to produce large amounts of ${\gamma}$-PGA with high productivity when provided with simple nutrients (L-glutamic acid 2.0%, glucose 1.0%, $NH_4Cl$ 0.5%, $KH_2PO_4$ 0.05%, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ 0.01%, pH 7.0). In this study, the culture medium for this strain was optimized for the production of ${\gamma}$-PGA. The Bacillus subtilis GS-2 required supplementation with L-glutamic acid and other nutrients for maximal production of ${\gamma}$-PGA. The optimal culture conditions for ${\gamma}$-PGA production were a 48 hr culture time, a temperature of $33^{\circ}C$ and initial pH of 6.5 by rotary shaking (220 rpm). A maximum ${\gamma}$-PGA production of 31.0 $g/{\ell}$ was obtained with L-glutamic acid (30 $g/{\ell}$), sucrose (the main carbon source, 30 $g/{\ell}$), $NH_4Cl$ (the main nitrogen source, 2.5 $g/{\ell}$), $KH_2PO_4$ (1.5 $g/{\ell}$) and $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ (0.15 $g/{\ell}$) in the culture medium.

In this study, kim (dried laver) bugak ("KB"), Aster yomena bugak ("SB"), and namul (vegetables)-kim bugak (combination of Aster yomena and kim) ("NB") were prepared and their quality characteristics were investigated. NB was made by slicing Aster yomena, seasoning it with perilla seeds, attaching it to kim and applying glutinous rice paste, followed by freeze-drying. SB had a higher oil absorption rate than KB, reflecting the high oil absorption rate of namul (here, Aster yomena). DPPH radical scavenging activity was highest for SB; whereas, NB had higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than KB, indicative of the higher antioxidant capacity of namul, as compared to kim. With longer storage period, moisture content tended to be increased, while maximum load, yield stress and hardness tended to be decreased. Overall preference was in the order of NB>KB>SB, without statistical significance. Acid value and peroxide value of NB, stored at $25^{\circ}C$ for 40 days, tended to be increased gradually but did not meet the criteria for rancidity. Therefore, NB could be stored at $<25^{\circ}C$ for > 40 days. Furthermore, it would be possible to make functional bugak using a variety of namul, as well as Aster yomena.

This study was conducted to investigate extract, total phenolic compounds, total flavonoid compounds, free radical scavenging activities (DPPH assay, ABTS assay), and reducing power (Oyaizu's assay, FRAP assay) of soybean sprout according to cooking process (non-blanched, blanched, seasoned). This research was carried out in order to demonstrate the superiority of Korean traditional cooking methods 'Namul'. Soybean sprout sample extracts were prepared using 80% ethanol extraction. Extract yield of non-blanched soybean sprout was 1.42% while that of blanched soybean sprout was 0.65%. On the other hand, the yield of seasoned soybean sprout was 6.50%. Total contents of phenolic compound and total flavonoid seasoned soybean sprout were $79.52{\pm}1.41$ mg GAE/100 g FW (fresh weight) and $6.21{\pm}0.16$ mg CE/100 g FW, respectively. Seasoned soybean sprout extracts showed higher contents compared to non-blanched and blanched sprout extracts. Total antioxidant activities were in the order of seasoned soybean sprout > non-blanched soybean sprout > blanched soybean sprout. The overall results of this study demonstrate that cooked soybean sprout by seasoning would be the most efficient way to ingest antioxidant compounds.
