Taste is an important sense in survival and growth of animals. The growth and maintenance of taste buds, the receptor organs of taste sense, are under the regulation of various neurotrophic factors. But the distribution aspect of neurotrophic factors and their receptors in distinct taste cell types are not clearly known. The present research was designed to characterize mRNA expression pattern of neurotrophic factors and their receptors in distinct type of taste cells. In male 45-60 day-old Sprague-Dawley rats, epithelial tissues with and without circumvallate and folliate papillaes were dissected and homogenized, and mRNA expressions for neurotrophic factors and their receptors were determined by RT-PCR. The mRNA expressions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT3), receptor tyrosine kinase B (TrkB), exclusion of nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-4/5 (NT4/5), receptor tyrosine kinase A (TrkA), receptor tyrosine kinase C (TrkC), and p75NGFR were observed in some population of taste cell. In support of this result and to characterize which types of taste cells express NT3, BDNF, or TrkB, we examined mRNA expressions of NT3, BDNF, or TrkB in the $PLC{\beta}2$ (a marker of Type II cell)-and/or SNAP25 (a marker of Type III cell)-positive taste cells by a single taste cell RT-PCR and found that the ratio of positively stained cell numbers were 17.4, 6.5, 84.1, 70.3, and 1.4 % for $PLC{\beta}2$, SNAP25, NT3, BDNF, and TrkB, respectively. In addition, all of $PLC{\beta}2$-and SNAP25-positive taste cells expressed NT3 mRNA, except for one taste bud cell. The ratios of NT3 mRNA expressions were 100% and 91.7% in the SNAP25-and $PLC{\beta}2$-positive taste cells, respectively. However, two TrkB-positive taste cells co-expressed neither $PLC{\beta}2$ nor SNAP 25. The results suggest that the most of type II or type III cells express BDNF and NT3 mRNA, but the expression is shown to be less in type I taste cells.

The consumption pattern of Ramyon(a deep-fried instant noodle) in Seoul area was surveyed in 1988. Of 2,432 consumers, 801 consumers were considered to be non-eating. Based on Ramyon eating consumers, most frequent consumption of Ramyon was 1-2 times per week. The frequency of consumption decreased in the order of middle school student, high school student, university student, office worker and housewife. Most consumers eat Ramyon because of convenience for meal substitution. Consumers considered that the taste of soup was more important than the texture of noodle. The most desirable texture and taste of soup were chewy and spicy, respectively. The consumption pattern of Ramyon between sex and among occupation groups were different. However, no significant differences were observed between sex and among occupation groups as far as quality factors were considered.

The nerve impulse pattern of Chorda tympani(CT) of cat was tested with Monosodium glutamate(MSG) solutions as well as some basic taste substances applied on the tongue of cat. The effect of MSG applied in the tongue prior to the stimulation of other taste substances was also investigated. The response impulse frequency of CT of cat was changed by the kind and concentration of taste substances. The response to citric acid was the highest among the tested substances, NaCl, KCl and MSG showed similar responses. When different concentrations of MSG were applied on the tongue prior to other substances, the response to NaCl increased with the maximum response at the MSG concentration of 0.02 M. The response to sucrose tended to be reduced, but the response to citric acid was distinctly supressed by the previous MSG stimulation. These results were well consistent with the sensory evaluation on the effect of MSG to some basic taste substances. previously reported by the authors.

In this study, a multichannel taste sensor using the evanescent field absorption in fiber optic was developed, and evaluated its characteristics for several basic taste substances. This sensor is based on the change of evanescent field absorption at the surface of optical fiber core layer. The sensor device was made of a plastic-clad-silica fiber (3M Co., FP-400-UHT, core diameter $400\;{\mu}m$) and a middle portion of cladding layer was removed and the surface of stripped fiber core was dip-coated with a sensing membrane. And then, it was determined the difference of evanescent field absorption into the sensing membrane, according to various taste substances and its concentrations variance. The sensing membranes were prepared with six kinds of dyes, were known as potential sensitive dye together with silicone polymer the same refractive index of cladding. Each output patterns were obtained from the sensor devices could be distinguished not only five kinds of basic taste substances such as sweetness, saltiness, sourness, bitterness and umami, but also various mixed taste substances.

Aroma of various extracts of Agastache rugosa O. Kuntze was analyzed by electronic nose with 32 conducting polymer sensor arrays. The 57 extracts were prepared by extraction solvents (hot water, ethanol and NaCl solution), extraction temperatures $(100,\;80\;and\;60^{\circ}C)$, solvent mixture ratios of solvent (10 times 35 times) and parts of Agastache rugosa O. Kuntze(flower, leaf and stem). Aroma pattern of Agastache rugosa O. Kuntze extracts showed big difference in normalized pattern and odor intensity with extraction temperatures and parts, but showed no difference with extraction solvents. Especially in the case of ethanol extracts, because odor of ethanol itself was very strong, difference in aroma of extracts with extraction temperatures and parts did not show through the electronic nose. The organoleptic characteristics such as mint odor, grassy odor, mint taste, medicinal herb taste and sweetness for Agastache rugosa O. Kuntze extracts were determined by the profile test and the result of sensory evaluation by quantitative descriptive analysis was explained to QDA diagram. In correlation with the result of aroma analysis by electronic nose and the sensory evaluation, difference in aroma pattern among the extracts concretely brought to light definite characteristics such as mint odor and mint taste.

This study was performed to analyse aroma patterns of Nagaimo, Ichoimo and Tsukuneimo by the electronic nose with 32 conducting polymer sensors. Response by the electronic nose was analysed by the principal component analysis(PCA). Sensory evaluation also for organoleptic taste and odor of Nagaimo, Ichoimo and Tsukuneimo was performed. Nagaimo was very crunchy and sweet. Tsukuneimo was roasted nutty, hard, viscid taste and sticky. Ichoimo had intensive unique yam flavor and moderate hardness between Nagaimo and Ichoimo. Intensity of Ichoimo for unique yam flavor by the electronic nose was the strongest. The quality factor(QF) of PCA for normalized pattern by thirty two sensors showed less than 2, and so aroma pattern of three yam cultivars had no difference. But when the PCA was performed for normalized pattern by eight selected sensitive sensors, the QF for Nagaimo and Tsukuneimo is 2.057. Thus aroma pattern between Nagaimo and Tsukuneimo could be distinguished.

This paper proposed a method that can be simply analyzed instead of the basic general Fuzzy rule that its insufficient characters are cut out. Based on the proposed method. Rough sets are used to eliminate the incomplete attributes included in the rule and also for a classification more precise; the agreement of the membership function's output extracted the maximum attributes. Besides, the proposed method in the simulation shows that in order to verify the validity, compare the max-product result of fuzzy before and after reducing rule hosed on the rice taste data; then, we can see that both the max-product result of fuzzy before and after reducing rule are exactly the same; for a verification more objective, we compared the defuzzificated real number section.
