This study evaluated the quality characteristics of fermented abalone-kimchi or sea tangle-kimchi during 28 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Abalone and sea tangle were added as extracts compared to a control. We analyzed lactic acid bacteria, pH, acidity, salinity, reducing sugars, free sugars, organic acids, free amino acids, and sensory characteristics. The lactic acid bacteria levels were 4.4~5.3 log CFU/g on day 0, 6.8~7.1 log CFU/g after 7 days, and continued to rise during the fermentation period. The salinity increased slightly over time. As fermentation progressed, pH and reducing sugars, free sugars, and organic acid contents decreased. Free sugars, in particular, dramatically decreased about 70% compared to the initial day. The total free amino acid content was higher in abalone-kimchi. In terms of free amino acid contents, taurine was high in abalone-kimchi, while glutamic acid and aspartic acid content was high in sea tangle-kimchi. The sensory evaluation results show that abalone-kimchi and sea tangle-kimchi had higher scores for their savory taste and overall acceptance compared to the control.

This study was carried out to quantitate the proximate composition of free sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, and minerals contents in Jehotang. The analysis of overall chemical components of Jehotang indicates that it contains 22.40% of moisture, 1.31% of crude protein, 1.24% of crude fat, 0.80% of ash and 74.25% of carbohyderate. The pH of the Jehotang was 3.2. The sugar content was relatively high. Among the identified extractable free sugars were 15.3% of fructose, 13.6% of glucose, 0.42% of sucrose, 1.18% of maltose, and a trace of isomaltose. No raffinose, maltotriose and molezitose were detected. In amino acid composition of the Jehotang, leucine was the highest with the content of 9.6mg, followed by arginine, valine, and phenylalanine. The ratio of essential/total amino acid was 40.4%. Fatty acid content, which occupies 1.24%, can be classified into 4 kinds. Major ones, in order of quantity, are oleic acid(52.7%), linoleic acid(28.5%), palmitic acid(14.6%) and stearic acid(4.2%). Among the minerals, the amount of K was the highest with the level of 2430.5ppm, followed by Ca, Na, P, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu.

Changes in the contents of sugars and soluble solids and flavor rate of cooked kernels of three sweet com hybrids (Great Bell, Danok 1, and Golden Cross Bantam) and a super sweet corn hybrid (Crisp Super Sweet 720) were observed from 15 days after silking (DAS) to 27 or 33 DAS in 1985 and 1986 to determine the optimum harvest time. Sucrose content in all hybrids and fructose and glucose contents of Crisp Super Sweet 720 increased from 15 DAS to 21 or 24 DAS and then decreased. However, in the three sweet corn hybrids both fructose and glucose contents were highest at 15 DAS and then continuously decreased with maturity. At harvest time the major sugar component was sucrose and the highest total sugar content of Crisp Super Sweet 720 was 2-3 times higher than that of three sweet corn hybrids. Soluble solids were continuously increased with maturity in three sweet com varieties, but that of Crisp Super Sweet 720 increased up to 24 DAS, maintained the level through 30 DAS and then decreased. At harvest time soluble solids of three sweet com varieties were much higher than that of Crisp Super Sweet 720. The optimum harvest time seems to be about 27 DAS considering flavor rate and marketing conditions although the total sugar content was lower than those of earlier harvests. Soluble solids but not total sugars were positively correlated with the flavor of cooke6 com harvested at different growth stages in the same variety. Total sugars were not correlated with soluble solids or negatively correlated depending on hybrids.

The effects of glucose, lactose, sucrose, and potato starch on kimchi fermentation and on the stability of ascorbic acid were investigated at $7^{\circ}C$. Kimchi samples with the sugars showed the higher PH and lower total acidity until 9th day of fermentation than kimchi without sugar. Changes in the pH and total acidity were not significantly different among the samples after the 12th day. Addition of the sugars did not show any effects on the growth of lactobacilli through the fermentation period. The amounts and changes in ascorbic acid content during the fermentation did not differ significantly between the control and sugar - added samples. Ascorbic acid in most samples decreased continuously by the 9th day of fermentation. After then the vitamin increased in all the samples and then again decreased slowly after 18th day. From the multiple comparison tests the 10- panel members indicated the better flavor of sugar - added samples than control sample. However the differences in flavor were not significant.

Characteristics of six commercial samjangs were analyzed such as proximate composition, free amino acids, organic acids and free sugars. Also color, taste and odor were evaluated by 36 panelists. They were composed of moisture content 41.4-48.4%, crude protein 9.2-10.4%, crude fat 2.2-3.4%, pH 5.3-5.7, amino nitrogen 194.0%-375.6 mg% and sodium chloride 7.7-9.1%. Total free amino acids of samjangs were 975.89-2304.98 mg%. Glutamic acid was the highest amino acid among free amino acids as 231.7-788.01 mg%. Proline, arginine, alanine and lysine were higher than other free amino acids while histidine, cystine and methionine were lower than other. Eleven free amino acids including glutamic acid were the highest in samjang (B) which contained more doenjang than any other makers did. Total organic acids were 401.01-640.27 mg%. 69.65-269.07 mg% of succinic acid was the highest among organic acids. Lactic acid was the highest in samjang (F) which was home made. Total free sugars was the highest in samjang (A) which contained more wheat flour than any other makers did it. Glucose was 9.30-23.99% and fructose was nd-2.69%. The result of proximate composition showed a different pattern comparing with that sensory evaluation. Samjang (A) which contained less salt showed the highest overall acceptability while samjang (F) which contained more dark color, more salt was the lowest one among the samples.

Taurine contents in alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages, milk and milk products, sugars and condiments were determined for 83 food items commonly used by Koreans. Taurine concentrations of food samples were analyzed by using an automated amino acid analyzer(Biochrom 20, Pharmacia LKB) based on ion exchange chromatography. Taurine was not detected in most carbonated beverages, but found in a variety of fruit and vegetable beverages(canned) in the range of 0.13 ~1.43mg taurine/ 100g wt, and in instant coffee or tea beverages(canned) in the range of 0.10~0.41mg taurine/100g wt. The traditional Korean turbid rice wine(takju) sample contained the highest level of taurine (2.29mg/100g wt) among alcoholic beverages tested, which was followed by wine(0.59~0.88mg tau rine/100g wt) and beer(0.53~0.73mg taurine/100g wt). Ordinary milk samples contained 1.05~1.40 mg taurine/100g wt, and a variety of taurine supplemented infant formulas manufactured by Korean companies included 17.3~25.4mg taurine/100g wt. Taurine was not detected in most sugars and sweetners except a couple of chocolate samples(2.13~2.18mg taurine/100g wt). Exceptionally high level of taurine was found in a curry powder sample(16.9mg taurine/100g wt), while the rest of commonly used condiments contained less than 2.90mg taurine/100g wt.

This study was conducted to determine the influence of postharvest dipping treatment with aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) on ethylene production and composition of non-cellulosic neutral sugars in cell walls of 'Tsugaru' apple fruits during storage. Fruits were harvested on August 20, soaked in AVG 50 and 75 $mg L^{-1}$ solution for 5 minutes, and stored in cold storage chamber at $0{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. Fruit quality factor, ethylene productions, and cell wall component changes were investigated at 20 days interval. As a result, the fruit firmness and acid content were much higher in AVG treated fruits than those of untreated one during 60 days of cold storage. Ethylene production of AVG treated fruits was reduced to the level of 1/10 compared with untreated one. As to the change of non-cellulosic neutral sugars in the cell walls of 'Tsu- garu' fruits, the major sugar was arabinose and galactose in water, CDTA and $Na_2CO_3$ soluble fractions. The content of arabinose and galactose in untreated fruits increased as the softening of fruits was in progress, but the fruits treated with AVG showed a little change during storage, so it is predicted that these two cell wall compositional sugars were not solubilized by the treatment of AVG. Accordingly, the marketability of 'Tsu- garu' fruits could remarkably increase when soaking the fruits in AVG solution after harvest.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in proximate composition, free sugars, amino acids, fatty acids and Hunter color vaules between fresh and odorless garlic. The contents of crude fiber, crude fat and ash in odorless garlic were silmilar to those in fresh garlic. Sugars and crude protein decreased during manufacture of odorless garlic. Among the free sugars, sucrose, maltose and fructose decreased in odorless garlic, while the content of glucose increased. Total amino acid content decreased by about 30% in odorless garlic. Among the amino acids decreased arginine, isoleucine etc. The contents of linoleic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid were higher than those of other fatty acids in fresh garlic and odorless garlic, but laruric acid was in little quantity. There were no singnificant differences in the Hunter L and b value between the fresh and odorless garlic, but value for greeness(-a) was lower in odorless garlic.
