Salt is a major component in salt-fermented shrimp with 25% content. There are various types of salts that have different compositions, which may affect the quality of salt-fermented shrimp. We have investigated effects of various salts such as Korean solar salt (KSS), purified salt (PS), sea-concentrated salt (SCS), glasswort (Salicornia herbacea L.) spray solar salt (GSS), glasswort-sea-concentrated salt (GSCS) and spray-dried salt (SDS) on the physicochemical and sensory properties of fermented shrimps. Ammonia nitrogen content of the salted shrimp prepared with SDS was lower than others until 60 day fermentation. At 90 day fermentation, amino nitrogen contents of salted shrimps prepared with GSCS and GSS (980 mg%) were higher than those of the others while sample prepared with SDS showed the lowest amino nitrogen content (680 mg%). Volatile basic nitrogen content of salted shrimp prepared with SDS was also lower than those of the others between 14 and 60 day fermentation and there were differences among samples in the contents of trimethylamine at 180 day fermentation. Sensory evaluation results indicated significant differences in salty, overall taste and overall acceptance among samples. Overall acceptance was significantly higher in salt-fermented shrimp prepared with KSS, SCS, GSS, GSCS and SDS than in fermented shrimp with PS.

Quality characteristics of ogapiju prepared by adding different raw materials such as Acanthopanax(0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5%), Ganoderma lucidum(0, 0.05%), pine needle (0, 0.05%), and red ginseng(0, 0.05%) were evaluated by chemical analyses and sensory evaluation. Total organic acid contents of samples containing ogapi and other medicinal herbs were higher than that of control group. Major free amino acid was histidine. Contents of total amino acid and free sugar were highest in sample C (Acanthopanax 0.1, G. lucidum 0.05, pine needle 0.50, red ginseng 0.05%). In each sample 31-49 volatile components were identified by solid-phase microextraction method, and 42 components were detected by sniff-test using GC-olfactometry. Ogapiju showed higher content of ${\alpha}-copaene$ than control group ${\alpha}-Pinene$, camphene, ${\beta}-pinene$, sabinene, ${\alpha}-terpinene,\;{\gamma}-terpinene$, p-cymene, terpinolene, ${\alpha}-thujone,\;{\beta}-thujone,\;{\alpha}-terpineol$, carvone, and ${\beta}-ionone$ were not identified in control group. Volatile composition of ogapiju was characterized by higher amount of terpenoids. Green and herbaceous note was stronger in ogapiju than control group. Sensory evaluation indicated that good taste and palatability were highest in sample C.

This study was conducted to analyze the quality characteristics of kimchi in terms of garlic content (0~4.5%). Kimchi was made at $4^{\circ}C$ for 8 weeks, and pH, acidity, organic acid content, free sugar content, microbial counts, flavor pattern, and sensory characteristics were measured. The results show that kimchi containing garlic had a higher pH and lower acidity during fermentation than control kimchi without garlic. Principal component analysis enabled differentiation of the flavor pattern of kimchi according to fermentation period and garlic content. Addition of garlic to kimchi significantly decreased the numbers of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria for 2 weeks after production. The numbers of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria increased rapidly up to 2 weeks during fermentation and thereafter decreased gradually. Coliform counts were higher in the control than in kimchi containing garlic, whereas there was no detection after 4 weeks. Yeast and mold counts decreased significantly with increasing garlic content during the initial fermentation stage. Counts could not be detected in kimchi containing garlic. After 4 weeks, counts could not be detected in kimchi without garlic. Among kimchi with different garlic contents, fermentation was slower in kimchi with high garlic content; scores for off-odor and off-note taste were lower as well.

This study was conducted to analyze sensory profiles of commercial sojues using a standardized sensory evaluation procedure, and to investigate the effects of sensory characteristics and brands on consumer liking for soju. Descriptive analysis and consumer taste testing were conducted for seven commercial sojues. For the descriptive analysis, eight panelists generated and evaluated 12 flavor and one pain-sensation attributes for the soju, and there were significant differences among the soju samples for all the 13 sensory attributes. For the descriptive data, principal component analysis was performed to summarize the sensory characteristics of the sojues. For the consumer testing, 224 soju drinkers (20-29 year-olds) were recruited and randomly divided into two groups; a blind group and a group with the knowledge of brand. While the hedonic ratings obtained from the blind group didn't indicate significant differences among the sojues, the ratings obtained from the brand-informed group showed significant differences. Finally, the individual preferences of the 112 consumers in each group were investigated by preference mapping techniques.

Solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME/GC-MS), electronic nose, and electronic tongue were used to characterize the sensory profiles of cider vinegars from Korea (K1-2), China (C1-2), Japan (J1-2), and US (U1-2). SPME-GC/MS detected acetic acid as the common volatile compound in all vinegars, in addition to isovaleric acid, octanoic acid, and phenethyl acetate. Acids and acetic esters were the major components of Korean and US vinegar samples, respectively. Chinese vinegars had high ethyl acetate content, while Japanese samples were characterized by a low content of acetic acid. Principal component analysis (PCA) pattern provided a clear categorical discrimination of Chinese vinegars by E-nose and E-tongue analyses. The instrumental sensory scores and the taste attributes for flavor ($r^2=0.9431$), sourness ($r^2=0.9515$), and sweetness ($r^2=0.8325$) were highly correlated. Therefore, SPME/GC-MS, E-nose, and E-tongue analyses may be useful tools to discriminate the sensory profiles of cider vinegars of different origins.

To investigate changes of components in salt-fermented anchovy sauce by long fermentation, various chemical properties were examined. The moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, and crude ash contents of the anchovy sauce by fermentation were 67.48~69.35%, 5.47~7.40%, 0.27~0.47% and 23.82~24.12%. The moisture and pH was decreased slightly, but the contents of crude protein, crude lipid, acidity and amino-N degree were increased gradually by long fermentation. And contents of crude ash, VBN and salinity showed almost no change. Total free amino acid contents of 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 year fermented samples were 8,762.2 mg%, 9,484.6 mg%, 10,085.8 mg%, 10,650.7 mg% and 10,123.7 mg% respectively. Major free amino acid of samples were glutamic acid, leucine, lysine, alanine, valine, isoleucine in ordor. The samples were caused by their composition of the free amino acids rations, in which were umami, sweet and bitter taste in the extracts of anchovy during long fermentation. In Hunter values, fermented samples were generally lower in L, b values whereas higher in a, ${\Delta}E$ values. And absorbance at 453 nm was increased gradually by fermentation. Sensory evaluation result of samples, 6 years sample was the highest than the others in overall acceptance.

This study was conducted to investigate the pH, soluble solid contents, color difference, mineral contents, free sugar contents, and sensory quality of infrared- and cold-air-dried peaches. The pH, soluble solid contents, and free sugar contents of the infrared-dried peaches were higher than those of the cold-air-dried peaches. In the Hunter's color value, the L and ${\Delta}E$ values of the infrared-dried peaches were higher than those of the cold-air-dried peaches; but the a and b values of the cold-air-dried peaches were higher than those of the infrared-dried peaches. The major organic acids of the dried peaches were citric acid, malic acid, and oxalic acid. The minerals with the highest to lowest contents, in that order, were K, Mg, Ca, Na, Fe, Zn, Cu, and Al. The mineral contents of the cold-air-dried peaches were higher than those of the infrared-dried peaches. The appearance and taste of the infrared-dried peaches were better than those of the cold-air-dried peaches. These results indicate that infrared drying is the effective drying method for the production of high-quality dried peaches.

To increase the utilization of Centella asiatica (CA), enzymes such as cellulase and pectinase were added and the physicochemical properties of the treated CA were analyzed. In addition, apple-CA jam was prepared using the enzyme-treated CA, which had the best antioxidant properties, and the physicochemical and sensory qualities of the jam were measured. There was a high content of ascorbic acid, polyphenols, flavonoids, reducing sugar, amino acid, minerals and DPPH radical scavenging activity in the enzyme-treated group. The antioxidant component and activity in the jam prepared by adding enzyme-treated CA increased with an increase in the amount of enzyme-treated CA. In the soluble solids, the higher the amount of enzyme-treated CA, the higher the value, but there was no significant difference in pH. The sensory evaluation of the jam, in particular the taste, showed that the highest preference was observed when the enzyme-treated CA was added in the range of 5.0~6.7%, and the control group showed the lowest preference. There was no significant difference in flavor and spreadability among the treatment groups, however, the control group showed the highest color preference. In the overall acceptability, when 5.0% of enzyme-treated CA was added, the highest acceptability was shown.
