Nutritional quality of accelerated salt-fermented anchovy sauce using shrimp processing byproduct as fermenting aids was characterized and compared with commercial anchovy sauce. Four types of sauces were fermented with 0 and $10\%$ addition of shrimp byproducts ($24{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, for 270 days), and 20 and $30\%$ addition of those ($24{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, for 180 days), respectively. Extractive nitrogen content (1,431 to 1,569 mg/100g) of anchovy sauces increased as additional ratios of shrimp byproduct increased. According to the results of ommission test, the taste of all anchovy sauces was influenced by the content of free amino acids, such as mainly glutamic acid and aspartic acid. Regardless of additional ratios of shrimp byproducts, all sauces were similar in total amino acid content ($9,848\~10,324$ mg/100 g), which were 2 times higher compared to that of the commercial sauce. Proline, valine and histidine contents of sauces tend to decrease as the additional ratios of shrimp byproducts increased, whereas methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine and lysine contents increased. Increase of some amino acids and mineral content of sauces by increasing of additional ratios was due to release from shrimp byproducts. Sensory evaluation showed that scores of color, flavor and taste of the sauce added with $20\%$ shrimp byproducts_were significantly higher than those of other sauces (p<0.05). In the useful utilization aspects of seafood processing byproducts, shrimp byproducts were good resource for accelerated fermentation and nutritional improvement in preparation of fish sauce.

Korean general medicinal herbs-sasam, gilkyung, jakyak, danggwi, hwangki, and chunkung-were added In the normal brewing procedure as a raw material or in the distilling procedure as a packing material. The distillates from the former procedure and those from the latter procedure were compared in quality and distillation properties. As distillation proceeded, pH of the medicinal herb wine distillate and the control(not added herbs) distillates were decreased, whereas that of the herb packing distillate was increased slowely of $0.05{\sim}0.97$ during $1{\sim}4$ fractions and decreased remarkably of $0.92{\sim}0.98$ afterward. Average pH was the highest of 5.70 in jakyak and lowest of 4.37 In gilkyung. Absorbances of the herb Packing distillate were decreased rapidly of $0.60{\sim}1.59$ in the $1{\sim}4$ fractions but slowely of $0.19{\sim}0.54$ in the next fractions. During distillation both fractional alcohol concentration of the distillates and distillation rate were decreased. Their values were decreased more slowly than the control. Distillation rates of medicinal herb wine distillate were varied by medicinal herb varieties and alcohol concentration of fermented wine. Danggwi and control showed the highest average distillation rate as $0.12\;m{\ell}/sec$ and gilkyung the lowest value as $0.073\;m{\ell}/sec$. Maximum concentration of index component, paeoniflorin of jakyak was observed as 293 mg% in the 5th fraction of herb packing distillate and decrusin of danggwi as 3514 mg% In the 1st fraction of herb packing distillate. The extraction rate was 41.3% for paeoniflorin and 20.5% for decrusin. From sensory evaluation, the highest overall Qualify was observed in the medicinal herb wine distillate of hwangki added wine, the next in those of danggwi and jakyak added wine.

To evaluate the improving effects of antioxidant activity, we observed antioxidant capacities such as electron donating ability (EDA), Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), inhibitory activity of xanthine oxidase (XO) and aldehyde oxidase (AO), and sensory characteristics on mixture of Smilax china L. root water extract added with water extract of fermented S. china L. leaf by Aspergillus oryzae (FSCL). Those contents of mixture with higher ratio of FSCL were proportionally high. And OD475 of mixture with higher ratio of FSCL was almost proportionally high ($R^2=0.9850$). Antioxidant capacities of EDA and FRAP of the mixture was higher than that of non-mixture. In addition, XO inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}$) of A (1.19) was 59.80% higher than that of F (2.96), and the activity of mixture by the higher ratio of FSCL was proportionally low ($R^2=0.9490$). Taste acceptability of A was slightly higher than that of F, whereas that of C was highest. And color acceptability of 40-80% mixture was higher than those of A, F, and B. Overall acceptability of C and D was highest than those of others. Moreover, hot water extract of S. china L. leaf fermented with A. oryzae was maroon color, which looks like Puerh tea style, and mixture of S. china L. root extract added with hot water extract of S. china L. leaf was high acceptability of beverage. These results suggest that mixture of extract of S. china L. root and hot water extract of S. china L. leaf fermented with A. oryzae could improve antioxidant activities.

This study aimed to select a yeast strain for optimizing the quality of distilled spirits. The brewing and distilling properties of 4 KFRI (Korea Food Research Institute) yeasts (Y88-4, Y98-4, Y172-6, Y192-4) and 2 industry yeasts (C1, C2) were compared. For investigating the possibility of using these strains on an industrial scale, diverse analytical methods were applied to assess parameters associated with distilled spirit quality such as alcohol content, pH, total acidity, and soluble solid content. After 11 days of fermentation, the alcohol strength obtained using six yeast strains reached 13.9-16.4% (v/v), while pH was 3.9-4.0, and total acid was 0.40-0.52%. To compare GC-MSD Volatile flavor components, all the distilled spirit samples were diluted to 20% (v/v) alcohol strength. Seven fusel alcohols, 26 esters, 2 acids, and 3 miscellaneous compounds were detected in the distilled spirits. Y88-4 had the most abundant volatile flavor component and scored the highest overall preference in sensory evaluation. After analyzing the various properties of yeasts, strain Y88-4 was finally selected as the best strain for producing distilled spirits.

To investigate the textural and physical characteristics of WSF(whole soybean flour) tofu affected by coagulant and its concentration, $CaCl_2$, $CaSO_4$, $GDL(glucono-{\delta}\;lactone)$, $MgCl_2$, and some mixed coagulants were used in this study. Yields of WSF tofu coagulated with $CaSO_4$ and GDL were ranged 4.3-4.5(g/g WSF), but common tofu was 2.2-3.0(g/g soybean). As the water addition ratio increased, L and a value were increased while heating time increased, b value increased. L value of WSF tofu was lower and b value was higher than conventional tofu and 4 commercial tofus. Kinds of coagulant and its concentration significantly affected to textural properties of WSF tofu. As the concentration of coagulant increase, the hardness increased in most all coagulants. WSF tofu coagulated with $CaSO_4$ and GDL recorded low hardness and adhesiveness, and high springiness among the used coagulants at the same concentration. As the hardness increased, the gumminess and chewiness increased in most all coagulants. As coagulation temperature and molding pressure increase, hardness also increased. WSF tofu coagulated with 0.3% $CaSO_4+GDL$ was the most similar in the textural properties with conventional tofu and 4 commercial tofus. WSF tofu coagulated with 0.3% of $CaSO_4+GDL$ at $85^{\circ}C$, 10 times water addition, 5min. heating and $25.0g/cm^2$ molding pressure recorded the highest score in the sensory evaluation.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of ginseng and Schizandra chinensis on the quality characteristics of kimchi stored for 40 days at $4^{\circ}C$ after kimchi was fermented for 1 day at $25^{\circ}C$. pH and reducing sugar of GS(Kimchi added with extract powder of fine ginseng root and Schizandra chinensis juice) were the highest in the early part of storage but pH and reducing sugar of G(Kimchi added with extract powder of fine ginseng root) were the highest from 11th storage day. Acidity and $CO_2$ content of GS were the highest during storage period. The $CO_2$ content of GS was the highest significantly and the $CO_2$ content of C(Control) was the lowest significantly. When the hardness was measured, G was the hardest and there were no significant difference between C and GS. Total cells and lactic acid bacteria were increased rapidly at initial fermentation and GS was the highest of 3 samples from 6th storage day. The result of sensory evaluation showed that G was lower in sourness and higher in hardness than C and GS. Ginseng flavor had no significant differences between G and GS. And G was higher than GS in bitter taste. Consumer Acceptance test showed that consumer prefered C and GS to G. Considering all results, it can be concluded that addition of Schizandra chinensis juice to kimchi decreases the bitter taste of ginseng and increasing consumer preference.
