Flavor characteristics of raw Cordyceps militaris significatntly different from those of dried one. In the case of raw Cordyceps militaris , major flavor components were composed of 5 alcohols, 3 ketones, 4 phenols, 9 alkanes , and 3 alkenes. The major alcohol was 1-octen-3-ol(22.56%, 1147.3% ng/ml), which contributed to the characteristic green flavor. Ketones (3-ocatone, inparticular )were present in the highest concentration in raw Cordyceps militaris . In contrast, major flavor components of dried Cordyceps militaris were composed of 4 alcohols, 4 ketones, 3 furans, 4 pyrizines, 2 dithiazines, 5 phenols , 8alkenes , 17 alkanes, and 8 fatty acids. Dried Cordyceps militaris had unique sweet aroma of sesame as wella s a milky flavor. Green or fruit flavor were rarely detected . In alkanes , 10 cosanes, component fo wax were present. Typical flavor components of alkanes such as $\beta$-caryophyllen and Δ-cadinene were also detected. Fatty acids of dried Cordyceps militaris ranged from myristic acid (14 :0) to linoleic acid (18 ; 2). The sweet aroma of dried Cordyceps militaris was mostly due to pryazines, dithaiazines, and furans. Two dithaizines were identified and characteristics of these flavor components was a roasted bacon flavor. Strong antibacterial acitivity was observed toward Vibrio spp. such as V. vulnificus, V.cholerae, V. parahaemlyticus. Relatively high antibacterial acitivity was shown toward Bacillus subtilis , B,cereus, Staphyllococcus aureus, and Corynebacterium xerosis.

The objective of this study was to develop sensory lexicons that can be utilized for various types of tofu such as pressed, unpressed, and tofu made from germinated soybeans, using generic descriptive analysis. In the first phase of the experiment, trained descriptive panelists developed and defined the appearance, aroma, flavor, and texture attributes that are commonly present in tofu. Then, the sensory characteristics of seven types of tofu were analyzed using the sensory lexicons established in the initial stage of the experiment. Four appearance, 6 odor/aroma, 6 flavor/taste, 7 texture, and 4 aftertaste attributes were identified, and reference standards were established for most of the terms in order to facilitate the understanding of the attribute definitions. The intensities of the sensory attributes were measured on a 15-point scale. Statistical analyses, including analysis of variance and principal component analysis, were used for the data. The seven tofu samples showed significant differences in the intensities of 22 attributes. The unpressed tofu samples were generally rated as being high in moistness, easy to cut, silky, and easy to swallow. The pressed tofu, on the other hand, was salty, astringent, beany, hard, and rough in texture. The tofu made with germinated soybeans was characterized as having a strong cooked bean flavor, salty and astringent aftertaste, and hard texture. Overall, the attributes of moistness, easy to swallow, and silkiness showed strong positive correlations; hardness and sticks to teeth were also positively correlated to each other.

This study identified the sensory properties of samples of pizza dough at three pizza companies and three masonry oven pizzerias from Seoul, Korea and compared consumer acceptability among panels of university students. Six pizza dough samples were prepared (pan pizzas from Pizza Hut, Mr.pizza, and Dominos pizza, masonry oven baked pizzas from Appleteen, Mr.Lee's, and Pizza factory). Consumer tests were employed involving 97 Korean consumers. Consumers evaluated overall liking (OL), liking of appearance (APPL), odor (ODL), flavor (FLL), and texture (TXTL), willing to try (WT), and willing to recommend (WR) for the samples using a nine-point hedonic scale. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that HutP, MrP, and DomP samples had significantly (p<0.05) high scores for roughness, porosity, crust color, grain size, brownness, dairy food aroma, savory taste, and yeast aroma, which had the highest OL, ODL, and FLL scores. LeeP, ATeenP, and PFacP samples had high elasticity, cohesiveness, and adhesiveness. Consumers favored the appearance characteristics and color, dairy product flavor, and savory flavor of the pan pizza and preferred cohesiveness, toughness, and stickiness of masonry oven baked pizza.

Hot and spicy flavor grading in hot pepper powder for gochujang in various cultivars was studied using sensory and physicochemical characteristics. Chungyang, which had the highest capsaicin content had very low redness a value of 17.49 representing stronger red color does not relate to the stronger hot and spicy flavor. Sensory results showed that chungyang had significantly the highest value of hot and spicy aroma and flavor of 5.73 and 7.87, respectively(p<0.05). Although wurigun had the second highest capsaicin contents, it had relatively low hot and spicy aroma value as 3.87, some sweet flavor, and relatively low stingingness in the mouth value of 4.67, thus, comparatively weak hot and spicy flavor of 4.87 suggesting the difficulties in grading the hot and spicy flavor only by the capsaicin contents. Capsaicin content was highly positively correlated with the hot and spicy flavor, aftertaste and stinging flavor, and negatively correlated with the sweet flavor. In the principal component analysis, samples of chunyang, balita, and gumbit groups with greater hot and spicy aroma and flavor, were loaded in the first principal component. Classifying hot and spicy flavor of hot pepper powder for gochujang in various cultivars are suggested as 'very weak', 'weak', 'intermediate', 'strong', and 'very strong' with capsaicin contents under 40.00 mg/dL, 40~100 mg/dL, 100~150 mg/dL, 150~500 mg/dL, and those higher than 500 mg/dL, respectively. Since too many sample groups were located in the specific stages in the five stage grading, the nine staged classification is also suggested.

This study was carried out to investigate the change of palatability improvement of cooked meat by the physico-chemical properties and sensory characteristics as aging at $3^{\circ}C$ after thawing of frozen Holstein tenderloin. Shear force value(SFV), myofibrillar fragmentation ratio(MFR), appearance of 30ki1o dalton (30KD) component, raw meat aroma, tenderness, palatability of cooked meat, content of free amino acid and ATP related compound were measured. Raw meat aroma (p< 0.01), tenderness(p<0.05), SFV(p<0.05), MFR(p<0.01) and 30KD(p<0.001) of unfrozen beef tenderloin aged at $3^{\circ}C$ were superior than frozen beef tenderloin. As aging at $3^{\circ}C$ after thawing of frozen beef tenderloin SFV(p<0.05) decreased, MFR(P<0.001) and 30KD(p<0.001) increased, and raw meat aroma and tenderness improved(p<0.05). Also, cooked meat aroma, texture and palatability improved(p<0.05), without changing the taste. The content of aspartic acid and leucine of tenderloin aged thawing of frozen beef abounded were more than frozen beef(p<0.05), concentration of IMP(P<0.05) decreased, the hypoxanthine(p<0.05) and inosine increased.

The reason that aromatherapy began to draw attention again as the alternative therapy is because the essential oils that are used for aromatherapy not only allow the human body to maintain homeostasis but also have an effect on curing a mental feeling of fatigue and because these efficacies and effects are proceeding with being proved scientifically. Also, with coming to be high in a voice of concern about severally side effects that the modern medicine and the synthetic chemistry have, the aromatherapy came to be paid attention as the replacement therapy that can substitute for and supplement this. In particular, at the time of requiring a study on a substance to substitute for this after having been announced in Japan for 1998 a risk of Zincpyrithione that is being used as a component of dandruff treatment, it is thought that the aroma oil that was known for having an anti-dandruff effect has a merit of being easy in a user's access, thus it will be effective in curing the symptom of dandruff. Accordingly, this study conducted the following experiment in a bid to examine whether the aroma oil has the anti-microbial effect on the actual malassezia. First of all, it measured the minimum concentration of aroma oil in which the growth of malassezia is inhibited, by carrying out MIC(Minimum Inhibition Concentration) test in terms of anti-microbial activity against Malassezia furfur KCTC 7744 while using oils of Patchouli, Rosemary, Lavender, and Tea tree among aroma oils that are being used for dandruff treatment. As a result of that, Tea tree oil has the most excellent anti-microbial activity, and the measurement result of anti-microbial activity was shown in order of Lavender oil>Rosemary oil>Patchouli oil. Next, it carried out the is actually eased by applying Tea tree oil directly to the scalp of dandruff. In consequence of the experiment, the massage of Tea tree oil indicated the result of relieving the symptoms of dandruff such as scale, itch, pain, inflammation, and sebum, and among these symptoms of dandruff, it was shown to be most effective in easing itch. Especially, this clinical experiment was indicated that the massage of Tea tree oil has the most effect on relieving itch of targets with a dry-skin type who had no experience of dandruff treatment.

This study was carried out to investigate aroma patterns of Hanwoo (Korean cattle) beef using electronic nose during refrigerated storage, and to compare these results with chemical quality (pH, TBARS). The M. longissimus muscle from Hanwoo carcasses after 24 hrs postmortem was obtained and stored at 5${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Sensitivity (dR/RO) values among electronic nose data were changed differently during refrigerated storage, and showed significant difference on the 7th day of storage (p<0.01). The dR/RO from SY/G, SY/AA, SY/Gh, SY/gCTl, SY/gCT decreased but those from SY/LG, T30/1, P10/1, P10/2, P40/1, T70/2, PA2 increased during storage for 7 days. Mapping these data using PCA (principal component analysis) showed that the 1st day data were present in the middle of the right side, the 3rd day data were present in bottom part of this area and the 7th day data spread out more widely on the left side. In case of DFA (discriminant factor analysis), the flock clustered round and located in different side clearly comparing with PCA plot. In analysis of correlation coefficients among electronic nose data and chemical quality data, there was significant correlation among sensor data (p<0.001). But pH and TBARS were not significantly correlated with electronic nose data. Consequently, PCA and DFA plot by electronic nose data showed difference during refrigerated storage and there were significant correlations among sensors. Therefore it will be possible to detect separate aroma patterns of Hanwoo beef using electronic nose.

There are many types of spring blossoms on the Daedeok campus of Chungnam National University (CNU) at the area of 1,600,000 square meters. As an assignment for the class of Analytical Chemistry I for second-year undergraduate students, 2021, flower petals collected from various floral groups (Korean azalea, Korean forsythia, Dilatata lilac, Lilytree, Lily magnolia, and Prunus yedoensis) were analyzed using headspace extraction coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS) to study the aromatic profiles and fragrance compounds of each sample group. Various types of compounds associated with the aroma profiles were detected, including saturated alcohols and aldehydes (ethanol, 1-hexanol, and nonanal), terpenes (limonene, pinene, and ocimene), and aromatic compounds (benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde). The different contribution of these compounds for each floral type was visualized using statistical tools and classification models based on principal component analysis with high reliability (R² = 0.824, Q² = 0.616). These results showed that HS-GC-MS with statistical analysis is a powerful method to characterize the volatile aromatic profile of biological specimens.
