In this study, "Hongro" apples for test samples were selected from a market for aroma analysis. Analysis was done after 1 hr, in a forming headspace while maintaining a temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. First, the complex aroma of the apples was assessed by a Direct Sensory Method. Secondly, the complex aroma was analyzed under individual aroma conditions separated by GC/FID/Olfactometry. Finally, aroma component analysis by GC/MS was performed. Degrees of contribution of aroma components were evaluated by an aroma value calculation considering aroma duration time, frequency, and intensity. The contribution rate (%) of the aroma induction component influencing apple aroma was determined by aroma component analysis and aroma contribution degree. As a result, it was found that the top four components were as follows, by contribution rate (%): acetic acid (23%), 1-hexanol (16%), butyl ethanoate (13%), 4-methoxy-2-methylbutane (9%). These four components constitute the complex aroma tested by the direct sensory method, and was largely recognized by the apple aroma test panel. Consequently, it was found that these components are the key factors in apple aroma. If the mechanism of formation of these components can be found, it could have a significant influence on consumers' acceptance of new varieties of apples.

In this study, Green apple from Mungyeong area was used as material in the fermentation process. In apple fruit growing process, to produce a high quality apple fruit, some Green apple should be removed. Since the removed Green apple fruit is inedible, it doesn't have any economical value. To solve this problem, this paper proposed fermentation process to increase the economical value of raw apple as a fermentation product. This research conducted seven days, and the pH and brix value analysis was done every 12 hours during fermentation process. The experimental results show that the fermentation product under blender treatment is better than cutting treatment and without cutting treatment. Initial brix 25% is the best treatment for fermentation because produce fermentation product with a good taste and aroma than other treatment.

Aroma was extracted from Applemint(Mentha rotundifolia(L.) Huds) with SDE(simultaneous distillation and extraction), SFE(supercritical fluid extraction) and headspace method and the compounds of aroma were tentatively identified with GC-MS. The functionality of aroma compounds were determined with GC-olfactometry. Total 67 compounds were identified. Among them, 39 compounds were determined from SDE, 42 from SFE and 16 from headspace extract. Many terpene compounds were extracted with SDE and headspace methods but hydrocarbones with SFE. The major constituents of aroma obtained from SDE and SFE, were piperitenone oxide, germacrene-D and trans sabinene hydrate, but those from headspace method were 3-octanol, 1,8-cineol, camphene and benzeneacetaldehyde. Results of sniffing test, determining characteristics and strength of aroma showed that the major constituents of SDE extract were refreshing sweet and apple-like(ethyl-2-methyl butanoate), sweet and fruity-like$({\alpha}-thujene)$, fresh mushroom-like(1-octen-3-ol, 3-octanol), and bitter herb-like$({\delta}-cadidene)$. Major constituents of aroma extracts obtained from headspace method were alcoholic, refreshing sweet and apple-like(ethyl 2-methyl butanoate), unpleasant chemical, and bitter herb and grassy-like(camphene).

Gel-type fermented milk was prepared from mixture of milk and apple juice or grape juice by fermentation with Lactobacillus acidophilus (KCTC 2182). Changes in volatile aroma compounds during 21 hr-lactic fermentation were studied. Diacetyl and acetoin, that were produced by L. acidophilus, were detected at 6 hr or 12 hr and showed peak values at 12 hr. Acetone and butanol, that were present originally in sample, decreased gradually during fermentation. Ethanol, that was either present originally in sample or produced by L. acidophilus, showed peak value at 18 hr in case of mixture of apple juice and milk. The concentration of ethanol was substantially high during whole period of fermentation in case of mixture of grape juice and milk though it showed peak value at 18 hr. Because the concentrations of ethanol in apple juice and ethanol and acetone in grape juice were relatively high, it might affect the results.

Eleven strains had been previously isolated from kimchi and identified in our laboratory. The ability of each strain in aroma production was investigated by sensory evaluation. Among them Saccharomyc s sp. YK-17, Saccharomyces sp. YK-18, Saccharomyces sp. YH-3 and Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 produced fruity flavour. Especially, Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 produced apple and pineapple-like flavours. Pichia media YK-11, Saccharomyces sp. YK-20 and Pichia chambardii YH-4 produced wine-like flavour. Debaryomyces sp. YK-6, Debarymyces coudertii YK-10, Saccharomyces sp. YK-12 and Pichia haplophilia YH-5 produced alcoholic flavours. Using the good flavour producing strains as starters, various groups of kimchi were fermented, and the sensory characteristics of each group such as odor, taste and total acceptability were evaluated. The acidic odor, moldy odor and taste were reduced by adding starter, while the fresh sourness odor and taste similar to fruity fiavour were increased by starter. Comparing with the control group, these odor, taste and total acceptability were increased in the starter-added groups, such as Pichia edia YK-11, Saccharomyces sp. YK-17, and Saccharomyces,fermentati YK- 19. Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 added kimchi group was higher siginificantly (P<0.05) than the others at the total acceptability. Volatile compounds of the culture broth of Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 were analysed by gas chromatography, and 6 species of esters and 4 species of alcohols were identified. Among them, the ester substances which broth largely responsible for the apple-like flavour in the sensory evaluation, were found to be ethyl 2-methyl butvrate, ethyl pentanoate and ethyl acetate.

Fermented milk was prepared from milk or mixture of milk and apple juice/grape juice, and it was freeze dried. pH change and growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus (KCTC 2182) during freeze drying were studied. The effects of freeze drying on sensory evaluation and volatile aroma compounds in freeze dried sample or reconstituted sample were also studied. Freezing and freeze drying did not affect pH of fermented milk. Number of viable cells of L. acidophilus was markedly reduced during freezing or freeze drying. When number of viable cells in original fermented milk was considered as 100%, survival ratio of viable cells after freezing was $64.5{\sim}85.2%$ and that after freeze drying was $10.0{\sim}21.1%$. When sensory properties of original fermented milk prepared from juice-milk (ratio 15:35) were compared with those of freeze dried/reconstituted sample, sensory properties of original sample were better than those of freeze dried/reconstituted sample. Ethanol, diacetyl, butanol and acetoin were detected in all of original samples and freeze dried/reconstituted samples while acetone was detected in samples containing high amount of grape juice. Volatile aroma compounds in original fermented milk were reduced during freeze drying. L. acidophilus produced ethanol, diacetyl and acetoin during fermentation.

The objective of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of aronia jam prepared with different content of mashed apple. To analyze the quality characteristics pH, texture, color, antioxidant activity, total polyphenol content, and sensory property were investigated. As aronia amounts decreased, the pH of aronia jam level increased from 3.97 to 4.40, while its total acidity decreased from 0.39 to 0.27. In color, the L-, a-, and b- values increased with decreases in aronia contents when compared with 100% aroma jam. Texture evaluation revealed that the hardness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness of 100% aronia jam were markedly higher than those of the control and other samples (p<0.05). As the aronia content decreased, both the antioxidant activity and total polyphenol content significantly decreased (p<0.05) and the total anthocyanin content gradually decreased. In the sensory evaluation, the jams containing 50% and 70% aronia showed higher values than those of other samples in overall acceptability. Taken together, aronia jam with 30% apple could be the best in order to meet the taste and functional requirements for consumers.

To investigate the quality characteristics of domestic $ros{\acute{e}}$ wines marketed in Korea, 11 kinds of wines were purchased at the Korea Wine Festival in 2016. The color, physiological activity, aroma component and sensory evaluations were conducted. The hue value of $ros{\acute{e}}$ wines ranged from 0.592 to 1.990, with the Ro7 of Delaware having the highest value. The brightness of $ros{\acute{e}}$ wines ranged from 42.96 to 94.99, the redness from 3.20 to 59.37, and the yellowness from 8.43 to 24.83. Of the 11 $ros{\acute{e}}$ wines evaluated, 1 was a dry wine and 10 were sweet wines. The average sugar content of the sweet wines was 73.89 mg/mL. Among the organic acid contents, malic acid ranged from 0.214 to 2.903 mg/mL, and lactic acid content ranged from 0 to 3.423 mg/mL. Malolactic fermentation differed, depending on the source. The total polyphenol content of $ros{\acute{e}}$ wines ranged from 50.55 to 99.55 mg%, the anthocyanin content was 2.12 to 213.30 mg/L, and the DPPH radical scavenging activity of $ros{\acute{e}}$ wines was between 73.75 to 90.41%. A total of 41 volatile components were detected, including 7 alcohols, 22 esters, 4 terpenes, 3 acids and 5 other compounds. Of these, 9 compounds had odor activity value(OAV) greater than 1; these were identified as 1-propanol (alcohol, pungent), 3-methyl-1-butanol (harsh, nail polish), ethyl butanoate (strawberry, lactic), isopentyl acetate (fresh, banana), ethyl hexanoate (green apple, fruity), ethyl octanoate (pineapple, pear, floral), ethyl decanoate (fruity, fatty, pleasant), linalool (flower, lavender) and limonene (lemone, orange). As a result of the sensory evaluation, the Ro5 wine made from Campbell Early grape, and having a good color, flavor and taste, was the most preferred.

Melon is a fruit consumed and grown globally because of the sweet taste and pleasant aroma. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of melon jams added with various fruits such as apple, aronia, blueberry, grape, kiwi, passion fruit, and peach. We determined quality characteristics such as pH, total acidity, antioxidant activity, content of total anthocyanin, polyphenol and tannin, respectively. The 100% melon jam as the control was the highest pH and lowest total acidity, whereas mixed jams with melon and passion fruit showed opposite results. The mixed jams with melon and aronia of the total anthocyanin, the polyphenol contents, tannin, and ABTS radical scavenging activities, were markedly higher than those of the control and other samples (p<0.001), followed by the mixed jams with melon and blueberry. In the taste sensing analysis, mixed jams with melon and passion fruit revealed higher richness and lower aftertaste-bitterness and aftertaste-astringency than the commercial strawberry jam and other samples. Thus, jams mixed with various fruits, in particular, aronia, blueberry, and passion fruit were superior to the 100% melon jam in terms of physiological activity and palatability.

The efforts were made to develop persimmon leaf beverages on the basis of the results of sensory evaluation. The result of sensory evaluation for the development of persimmon leaf beverages showed that when the concentration of extracts was 10%, the aroma and flavor of persimmon leaves was best. The optimum concentration of sugar was 4.5% and apple juice was 15%. The change of pH had the tendency to keep stable range(3.82-3.71) during the period of 30 days and free-sugar had little change according to the temperature and time of preservation. The preservation of the change of ascorbic acid revealed that the range of decrease in the case of preservation at $4^{\circ}C$ was a bit narrower than in the case of preservation at $25^{\circ}C$. Nonvolatile organic acids were four kinds of acids, oxalic acid, levulinic acid, malic acid, and citric acid, among which levulinic acid was on the increase for the first 10 days during the preservation period and then on the decrease regardless of the temperature of preservation. The browning of beverages was on the slight increase.
