This study was carried out in order to standardize the processing method of spiced soy sauce, to get the sensory scores for organoleptic properties in different cooking of each food items, and to analyze the microbiological and chemical properties during storage periods. In determining the optimum conditions for standardizing of spiced soy sauce, the best sensory score was found in the ratio of soy sauce to sugar of 1:0.7. In the result of microbial experiment on standardized spiced soy sauce, the stability of storage at 40$^{\circ}C$ up to 6 weeks was proved. The standardized spiced soy sauce which was composed of about 45.5% water, 6% crude protein, 11.7% reducing sugar and 32.1% invert sugar has not shown any significant difference during storage for 6 weeks at 40$^{\circ}C$ compared with the state immediately after processing. In the test of saltiness, specific gravity, viscosity and Hunter's color value, there was no notable change during storage at 40$^{\circ}C$. In the experiment of free amino acid and total amino acid, main amino acids were glutamic acid and aspartic acid, which were not significantly changed during storage compared with processing state. In the analysis of mineral contents, sodium accounts for 95% of the total minerals, followed by phosphorus, magnesium, etc., in order, and there was no change during storage.

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of hot-boning and soy sauce as a curing agent on the processing properties of beef jerky. Beef jerky was prepared under the following four treatment conditions; Beef jerky with cold-boned beef and salt solution, beef jerky with cold-boned beef and soy sauce solution, beef jerky with hot-boned beef and salt solution, and beef jerky with hot-boned beef and soy sauce solution. Cured meat and jerky containing hot-boned beef had a significantly higher pH, water holding capacity (WHC), moisture content, Myofibrillar fragmentation index (MFI), processing yields, tenderness, and sensorial scores than samples containing cold-boned beef (p<0.05). Regardless of the raw materials, the jerky containing soy sauce had a significantly lower pH, WHC, moisture content, salt content, TBA, CIE $L^*$ and $b^*-$ values, and significantly higher MFI, mechanical tenderness, and sensorial scores (p<0.05). Based on these findings, we concluded that the use of hot-boned meat and soy sauce was the most effective boning method and curing agent during beef jerky processing.

In this study, the quality characteristics of 30 kinds of long-term matured soy sauce collected from all over Korea classified according to ripening period were analyzed. The longer the soy sauce had to matured, the closer the pH was to neutrality. Acidity decreased as the ripening period increased. Total nitrogen and amino nitrogen content increased as the soy sauce matured. Moisture content decreased with the increasing soy sauce ripening period, and the content of pure extracts increased in proportion to the ripening period. The numbers of bacteria, fungi, and yeast increased in proportion to the maturation period. The content of P was highest in all soy sauce analyzed, followed by K, Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn. Mg and Ca contents decreased with maturing, whereas K increased with maturing.

Korean MEJUES were prepared by means of ordinary, Improved and compromised methods, and analyses of the changes in various chemical compositions of the Soy-sauces throughout the fermentation period of 10 weeks. Now, their result, are as the following as. (1) In all of the Soy-sauces under study the content of organic acids showed a slight increase upto 4 week, and a marked increased after this period. (2) In all of the soy-sauces the total nitrogenous content indicated a rapid increase until 4 weeks, and a slower increase after this. (3) In all of the soy-souses, the content of free amino acids displayed a liner proportional increament until 8 weeks and then slower increose. (4) In all of the soy-souses the content of reducing sugars indicated a slight increase until 4 weeks, and after this it showed a rapid decrease until 4 weeks, in the improved soy-souses and, then maintained an almost flat curve. In the ordinary and Compromised soy-souses there was a rapid decrease in reducing sugars until 6 weeks, and then an almost 리at curves. (5) In the ordinary soy-sauce the SAMWOL-ZANG-BUB(soy-sauce prepared in March) is considered to be based on a comparatively scientific ground during the fermentative period. (6) In order to improve the taste in ordinary soy-sauce it is favorable to delay the period of preparation. The adequate period appears requires 8 weeks at least. Accordingly it is recommended to mix the materials with carbohydrate source. (7) In the improved soy-sauce according to the SAMWOL-ZANG-BUB of ordinary soy-sauce it is thought that 8 weeks were adequate for the fermentation. (8) The compromised method may be recommended for the improvement of nomemade soy-souce, and it may be also superior to the ordinary soy-sauce in quality.

The purpose of this study was to analyze factors affecting acceptance of four kinds of dak-jjim samples in third year school-aged children (n=100). Soy sauce, red pepper paste, Vietnam fish sauce, and star anise were applied to samples for their familiar and exotic characteristics. Significant differences among samples were observed in odor, taste, and acceptance (p<0.001). Soy (Soy sauce sample), RPPaste (Red pepper paste sample), and Soy_FishS (Soy sauce and Vietnam fish sauce sample) samples scored higher than Soy_StarA (Soy sauce and star anise sample) sample. On the other hand, there were no significant differences in intensities of saltiness, sweetness, and hot spicy flavor (p>0.05). Liked attributes in samples were saltiness, sweetness, chicken flavor, potato flavor, moistness of chicken, hot spicy flavor, and color. Disliked attributes in samples were hot spicy flavor, saltiness, and ginger flavor. Significant differences among samples were observed in familiar intensity and willing to try again (p<0.001). Soy, RPPaste, and Soy_FishS samples scored higher than Soy_StarA sample. Panels considered taste (46%) and nutrition (45%). Higher familiar intensity of sample was associated with higher acceptance in samples. In other words, familiarity of food affects acceptance of food. Therefore, familiar ingredients such as soy sauce and chicken can be used for development of Korean menu items considering taste and nutrition with enhanced Korean food acceptance in school-aged children.

Soy sauce was prepared with the addition of Gorosoe and bamboos sap instead of tap water to make ordinary soy sauce, respectively. The changes of such compounds during fermentation as minerals, free sugars, organic acids and free amino acids were analyzed. Total mineral contents in the 90 days fermented soy sauce from Gorosoe and bamboos sap were increased by 2.0 and 4.4 times as compared with those of control samples, respectively. Especially the increase of calcium, potassium and magnesium in soy sauce of sapes were derived from those of saps. The sugars were found to be only glucose and galactose in control samples, but they were detected not only above sugar but also fructose and sucrose in soy sauce of saps. Butyric acid in detected organic acid were dominant in all stray sauce samples. In the free amino acid composition of control samples, leucine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, lysine and glutamic acid were abundant amino acids. Amino acid such as isoleucine, leucine and phenylalanine were decreased, the rest 11 kinds of amino acids containing phosphoserine were increased during the fermentation of control samples. Increasing and decreasing patterns of free amino acids during fermentation of sap soy sauce were similar to control samples. Total nitrogen, amino acid nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen were increased during their fermentation.

This study made Soy-Sauce-Kimchi and investigated its pH, acidity, microorganism, salinity, chromaticity, viscosity and taste to revive traditional Soy-Sauce-Kimchi using Soy-Sauce instead of salt and to report its fermentation characteristics. As one of studies on traditional Kimchi, it tried for practical use of traditional Soy-Sauce-Kimchi which had been eaten in the middle region of Korea, especially in Seoul but currently has been prepared by only a few people and has disappeared gradually. According to the results of this study, among three groups of Soy-Sauce-Kimchi-I(s1), Soy- Sauce-Kimchi-II(s2) added by 2.5% sucrose and the control group(C), acidity of s2 was sharply increased after 24 hours and 72 hours at $20^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ respectively and there was few difference in salinity by temperature. In the case of s2 group, addition of 2.5% sucrose was considered to lead to increase of salinity. For chromaticity, while the L value and b value became larger after 48 hours, the a value tended to decline. Viscosity of s2 grew after 24 hours at all of $20^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$ and $1^{\circ}C$ and that was thought to be because propagation of bacteria such as Leuconostoc mesenteriodes following addition of 2.5% sucrose secreted dextransucrose so sucrose was transferred into dextran to increase viscosity. The total number of microorganisms was recorded to be largest after 48, 36 and 72 hours at $20^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$ and $1^{\circ}C$ respectively and the number of lactic acid bacteria was the largest at $1^{\circ}C$ after 72 hours compared to those at other temperatures. That was considered to be because microorganisms such as Leuconostoc mesenteriodes are psychrotropic lactic acid bacteria. For sensory evaluation, all appearance, chromaticity and odor of C were higher by $3{\sim}4$ points than those of s1 and s2(p < 0.001) and their feel also showed a similar tendency(p < 0.05). Considering the results of sensory evaluation, more researches were needed to overcome difference of taste for Soy-Sauce-Kimchi according to age due to characteristic flavor and smell of soy-source.

This study was carried out in order to analyzed the changes in nitrogen containing taste compounds of three different types of traditional Korean soy sauce with varing ripening period, and to investigates correlation between sensory characteristics and taste compounds contents via contents assay and sensory evaluation of soy sauce samples. Total nitrogen, ammonia type nitrogen and amino type nitrogen contents showed the highest value in Kyupjang. 17 kinds of free amino acid was detected in Chungjangs and 16 kinds of free amino acid was detected in Kyupjang. Nucleotides and their related compounds detected were hypoxanthin, xanthin, IMP, AMP, Inosine, ADP. Free amino acid and nucleotides and their related compounds contents were highest in Kyupjang. Nitrogen related compounds content of high concentration soy sauce ripened over 150 days increased similarly with Kyupjang. In the sensory evaluation of soy sauce taste, Chungjang samples acquired the highest score in the offensive taste test while Kyupjang marked highest score for sweet taste, nutty taste, taste preference. High concentration soy sauce ripend over 150 days yielded the result similar to that of Kyupjang. Sweet taste showed positive correlation with nitrogen compounds. The materials that showed positive correlation with nutty and traditional soy sauce taste and taste preference were nitrogen compound, IMP, AMP. Except for tryptophan, all free amino acid showed positive correlation with nutty and traditional soy sauce taste. Particulary, taste preference correlated to lysine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid.

Alkali treatment following acidic hydrolysis (ATAH) is a commonly used practice for reducing the levels of monochloropropanediol in commercial Korean soy sauce. This study investigated the chemical compounds produced in commercial Korean soy sauce made by ATAB. The levels of amino-N, total acidity, pH, salinity and Brix of the soy sauce were 6.66%, 2.52%, 19.81%, 4.57 and 35.01, respectively. The major fatty acids were C18:2n-6, C16:0, Cl8:ln-9 and C18:3n-6. The concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids were especially high, with of C18:2n-6 (49.8%) being the highest followed by C18:3n-6 (3.8%) and C18:3n-3 (2.4%) in that order. Among the non-volatile organic acids, the concentration of levulinic acid (1,206.28 mg/100 g) was the highest, while the taste value of citric acid was the highest. Among the ATP related compounds, IMP concentration (31.19 mg/100 g) was highest followed by AMP, hypoxanthine and GMP in that order. The concentrations of free and total amino acids in soy sauce were 6,136.94 mg/100 g and 8,702.76 mg/100 g, respectively. On the other hand, the taste value of glutamic acid, a major amino acid flavor determinant in soy sauce, was highest of all the amino acids, which is desirable since most free amino acids such as methionine, histidine and phenylalanine have a bitter taste that detracts from the flavor of soy sauce.
