Since the bitter taste of enrofloxacin apparently limit the patient compliance in the oral formulations of the antibacterial agent, the masking of the taste is essential for the improvement of the therapeutic effectiveness. Therefore, this study was carried out to examine the feasibility of taste masking of enrofloxacin by the retardation of its dissolution rate using the formation of complex between the drug and Carbopol. The complexation between Carbopol and enrofloxacin was confirmed by turbidity, UV spectrophotometry, wide angle X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry. The enrofloxacin content in the complexes was 34％ （Carbo-enrofloxacin complex I） and 57％ （Carbo-enrofloxacin complex II） depending on the prepara-tion method. The dissolution rate of enrofloxacin from the complex increased as the pH was reduced. The dissolution rate of enrofloxacin from the Carbo-enrofloxacin complex I was significantly lower than that of the enrofloxacin powder. Therefore, these observations suggest that Carbo-enrofloxacin complex I can be used to mask the taste of enrofloxacin.

The masking effect of chlorine on algae-related taste and odor(T&O) compounds has long been an important issue for water suppliers. In this study, masking experiments with chlorine were performed on two kinds of treated water and one of raw water. After adding chlorine(0 to 0.8 mg/L) to water samples, odor intensity was evaluated by a newly developed sensory method(2-out-of-5 odor test) for three days along with the measurement of residual chlorine concentration. Even though the relationship between the residual chlorine concentration and odor reported by the sensory analysts was not always coincident, it was proved that residual chlorine more than a certain concentration could completely mask both added geosmin and naturally occurring T&O compounds. For the sand-filtered water spiked with 10 ng/L of geosmin, 0.12-0.18 mg/L of residual chlorine was necessary to achieve complete masking. In the case of GAC-filtered water, 10 ng/L of spiked geosmin was completely masked by 0.15-0.1 mg/L of residual chlorine. Combined ozone and GAC was not enough to treat raw water spiked with 300 ng/L of geosmin. In this experiment, sensory analysts were able to detect earthy or musty odors from the treated water. From a masking experiment with raw water taken from the Daechung Reservoir, it was found that fishy odor was more difficult to mask with chlorine than earthy odor. As the chlorine residual declined, the analysts began to notice the original odor and the fishy odor was noticed earlier than the earthy odor.

A fast dissolving tablet was developed using the freeze-drying technique. Hyeonggaeyeongyotang was selected as a model oriental medicine. Formulation and processing parameters were studied to obtain freeze-dried tablet with high drug loading, good palatability, and fast disintegration time. $Kollidon^{(R)}$ CLM served as both matrix former and taste masking agent. Ethanol used as co-solvent, decreased the disintegration time of tablet. Aspartame was employed to impart better taste. Drying condition was found to have a major effect in the morphology of the tablets. Freeze-drying process was optimized to decrease the processing time and improve the appearance of the tablets.

This study was carried out to establish the manufacturing formulation of tea-bag type garlic tea. In order to eliminate of garlic-specific odor and taste, the masking effect of various additives against garlic flavor was determined with sensory evaluation. Leaves of green tea, arrowroot and Solomon's seal were screened as highly effective auxiliary ingredients in garlic tea. When two materials among the selected three auxiliary materials were mixed the same percentage, overall flavor of garlic tea synergistically was enhanced. The optimum concentration of garlic powder and stevioside as a sweetener were 20∼30％ and 1％, respectively. Therefore, three types formulation of garlic tea was establish. When the color, turbidity and total solid concentration of three formulated garlic teas were compared with those of commercially available formulated green tea containing unpolished rice, the latter was more yellowish color and the former was more superior to turbidity and total solid concentration.

In order to retain or remove the flavor components of onions, this study was performed to investigate the effect of seaweeds and adsorbents on volatile flavor components of onion juice by testing a sensory evaluation, measuring the amount of pyruvate and thiosulfinate, and investigating the changes of volatile components by SPME/GC. The main flavor compounds in raw onion juice were dipropyl tetrasulfide, 1-propenyl propyl trisulfide, methyl propyl trisulfide, dipropyl trisulfide. Volatile flavor compounds in onion juice treated with tangleweed, brown-seaweed, laver and celite showed a relatively decreasing tendency compared to untreated onion juice, but most of volatile flavor compounds in onion juice treated with activated charcoal and ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ were removed. The result of the sensory evaluation with various materials for masking onion flavor showed a significant difference at the p<0.05 level. The amount of pyruvate and thiosulfinate treated with tangleweed, brown-seaweed, laver and celite showed little difference compared to untreated onion juice, but the amount of pyruvate and thiosulfinate treated with activated charcoal and ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ decreased largely compared to untreated onion juice. As a result of the study, onion juice treated with tangleweed, brown-seaweed, laver and celite showed the effect of preserving the pungent taste and masking the onion flavor. Activated charcoal and ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$added to onion juice might have a role in removing the onion flavor by adsorbing volatile flavor compounds in onion.

This study was performed to make new products rising Pimpinella brachycarpa N., one of the Korean aromatic medicinal plant called chamnamul, which is a perennial plant of the Umbelliferae family. New products were natural chamnamul spice, chamnamul soup, chamnamul tea, and chamnamul mook as functional foods. The masking effect of Pimpinella brachvcarpa N., on fishy and meaty odor were investigated to test the usefulness of chamnamul as a natural spice. It could be concluded that the effect of added amounts of chamnamul on the cream soup increases the taste and appearance, and improves the flavor and color by the sensory evaluation. The chamnamul tea prepared by a filtration method is better than that by a leaching method on the preference test. In the texture properties of chamnamul mooks by a texture analyzer (XT-RA, Texturometer), the cohessiveness of them was higher than that of the white one.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of garlic on the fermentation and organoleptic quality of kimchi. For this study, changes in pH, acidity, reducing sugar content and microbial count of kimchi during fermentation were tested and sensory test of fermented kimchi was also conducted. The acidity of kimchi with garlic was increased rapidly more than control kimchi at early stage of fermentation. Though the reducing sugar content was higher in kimchi with garlic than control kimchi, but that of all samples were almost same at mature stage of fermentation. Total bacteria and lactic acid bacterial counts were higher in kimchi with garlic than control kimchi at early stage of fermentation, but those were reversed at final stage of fermentation. By the result of sensory test, garlic was contributed to taste and aroma positively at level of $2{\sim}3g$ garlic to 100g of kimchi.

The quality of guava (Psidium guajava L.) leaves processed using different methods, such as fermentation, steaming, and roasting were investigated. The total phenolics content was highest in the roasted guava leaves. While tyrosinase inhibition and electron donating abilities were highest in steamed guava leaves. The overall palatability showed higher scores in both fermented and steamed guava leaves compared to roasted ones. Upon blanching and steaming of guava leaves, the total phenolics content, tyrosinase inhibition ability, and electron donating ability decreased as the treatment time increased. The overall quality properties were significantly higher in steamed than the blanched samples. The sensory scores, however, were low mainly due to the astringent taste of guava leaves. Thus, it was found that the removal or masking of the astringent taste of guava leaves is of primary concern for their further use.

Riceyeotgangjung (RYG) with added spirulina was prepared with citron juice for masking of odor. Oil temperature for puffing was found to be $220^{\circ}C$ for frying dry rice based upon the results of expansion rate and color. RYGs with added spirulina (1, 2, and 3%) were prepared under the above conditions, and their physicochemical and sensory properties were examined under storage at $60^{\circ}C$ for 15 days. Moisture content of RYG decreased proportionally with the spirulina content and storage time. The hardness levels of the freshly made RYGs with spirulina were higher than that of control. During storage, the hardness of the control gradually increased, but those of the RYGs with spirulina gradually decreased, although no significant differences existed between the spirulina containing RYGs. Lightness and redness values in the Hunter color system decreased according to the spirulina content and storage time. Yellowness value also increased with the spirulina content and storage time. Phycocyanin and total phenolic content increased with spirulina content, but decreased with the storage period. Sensory evaluation results showed that RYG with 2% added spirulina received the highest scores for color, taste, overall acceptability, and intention of purchase. As a result, the optimal addition amount of spirulina to RYG is recommended to be 2%.
