The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of freezing rate on aroma retention and to examine the mechanism of aroma retention during freeze drying process. Our experiments were carried out with self-manufactured freeze-dryer. Gelatin gels (2% w / w, 80${\times}$20mm) containing diacetyl(2mg/ml) were frozen unidirectionally (Neumann's model) from the bottom at -45, -30, -20, and -15$^{\circ}C$ and followed with freeze-drying. Under the upper conditions we measured freezing rate and the change of temperature and pressure during freeze drying. Freeze-dried gelatins were cut horizontally into 5 mm thickness from the bottom measured and diacetly contents. Besides, we observed the effect of the relative humidity of the diacetyl contents freeze-dried gelatin during storage. The retained diacetyl content was increased at high freezing temperature and in order of 0∼5, 5∼10, 10∼15, 15∼20 mm section from the bottom of the sample. It was observed that the retained diacetyl content was high in 15∼20 mm section. The retained diacetyl content and freeze-dried gelatin stored in the condition of high relative humidity was decreased significantly but in the low relative humidity case, was it decreased in small amount. The results of our experiment resents that the low temperature freezing and low humidity storing condition is effective for preserving aroma compound in food.

The volatile aroma components were isolated from Korean flue-cured tobacco (N.C. 2326) by using a vacuum steam distillation method. Individual aroma components were identified by GCIMS and comparison of gas chromatowaphic retention time with those of the authentic samples. Sensory analysis showed that a vacuum steam-distilled product of Flue-cured tobacco had a typical haylike, floral and fruity aroma. Among 62 compounds identified, major compounds included neophytadiene, benzyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, phenyl ethyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, ethyl formate, acetic acid, solanone, 2-acetyl pyrrole, $\beta$-ionone epoxide, 2, 4-heptadienal (2 isomers), megastigmatrienone (4 isomers), furfural and total amounts of 13 compounds were about 80%.

Essential oil components from tobacco powder were investigated as flavouring agent. The essential oil was isolated from tobacco powder by a simple distillation /extraction method The extracted essential oil was fractionated into basic, acidic and neutral groups. And the neutral group of essential oil was separated by column chromatography into 10 fractions. Above groups and fractions were tested for tobacco aroma and smoke aroma. The neutral group except most nonpolar fraction displays good flavouring properties which make them highly suitable for improving the flavour and aroma of tobacco and tobacco smoke. The most nonpolar fraction from neutral group was carefully investigated using preparative column, thin layer and gas chromatography ailed by GC/MS coupling. The major subfraction was identified as hydrocarbons on the basis of the IR spectrum. The 58 hydrocarbon components were identified by their mass spectra and was chromatographic retention times.

We identified volatile components of traditional Korean soy sauce and soybean paste which had been manufactured with the same traditional Meju with a view to improving the quality of traditional Korean soy sauce and soybean paste. All of the volatile components were extracted by simultaneous steam distillation-extraction (SDE) apparatus. To obtain more detailed information, whole volatile components were separated into fractions. The volatile components of the whole and of each fraction were identified by GC-mass and Kovat's retention index. Sixty two and eighty six components were identified in traditional Korean soy sauce and soybean paste, respectively. Many aroma components of traditional Korean soy sauce differ from those of traditional Korean soybean paste. It was confirmed that many aroma components of traditional Korean soy sauce and soybean paste are completely different from those of Japanese fermented soy sauce (Shoyu) and soybean paste (Miso).

We characterized the character impact compounds of flavors of the fermented Korean soy sauce manufactured with both the traditional and the improved Meju made with different strains. The whole flavor samples were obtained by extracting each volatile flavor phase from both the traditional and the improved soy sauce. To get more detailed information, each whole volatile flavor was further fractionated into the basic, acidic, phenolic and neutral fractions. Each separated peak from the whole and fractionated flavor samples on gas chromatogram was identified by GC/MS and Kovat s retention index, and likewise the aroma of each peak was investigated by a sniffing test with the exercised panel. We were able to identify 15 groups of ingredients with the characteristic soy sauce aroma from the soy sauce made with the traditional Meju and 6 groups from the soy sauce manufactured with the improved Meju made with Aspergillus oryzae. The character impact compounds the two soy sauces were different from each other.

Volatile aroma concentrates of Pleurotus sajor-caju which stored at $20^{\circ}C$ incubator and cold room were obtained by simultaneous distillation-extraction method. The volatile components were identified by combined capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and comparison of retention data on GC of those authentic compounds. Storage at room temperature resulted in significant decreased in their total aroma contents, whereas little changes at cold storage foured, even though appreciable changes were observed in GC pattern between the control and stored samples. Of 38 components identified, ${\delta}-decalactone$ increased while rest of the volatiles decreased rapidly during storage at room temperature, but at cold storage 2-methyl butanal, 1-octen-3-ol, cis,cis-1,5-octadien-3-ol and pentadecanoic acid decreased while 3-octanone, 1-octen-3-one, 3-octanol and 5-undecanol increased with the storage time. The weight losses and organoleptic properties changed extremely by the storage under room temperature, on the other hand, slight changes were found in cold storage.

Dyshidrotic eczema is a eczema making vesicles at the hand and foot with pruritus, tend to chronically recurred. It is caused to retention of Damp-heat in interior(濕熱蘊積), interior heat due to Yin deficiency(陰虛內熱) in Oriental medicine. We treated a patient who suffered from recurred dyshidrotic eczema differentiated with retention of Damp-heat in interior(濕熱蘊積) with Chunggisangagam(淸肌散加減). After about 30 days of treatment with Chunggisangagam(淸肌散加減), acupunture and aroma therapy, we observed an improvement. Based on this experience, it is considered that the Oriental medicine can be applied to the treatment of dyshidrotic eczema.

The objective of this study was to develop a reliable and reproducible descriptive analysis procedure for Korean style sweet pumpkin gruel (Hobakjuk). The sensory attributes of the sweet pumpkin gruel were developed and defined, the sample preparation method was standardized, and the sensory evaluation procedure for a sample was established. Seven types of sweet pumpkin gruel (five ready-to-eat type vs. two ready-to-heat type) were selected to be analyzed. Panel training and descriptive analysis were carried out with these 7 samples. A total of 12 sensory attributes (2 aroma/odor, 5 taste/flavor, 4 texture/mouthfeel, and 1 aftertaste attributes) were developed to describe the sensory characteristics of the sweet pumpkin gruel. The definition and reference standards for each sensory attribute were determined to clearly understand each attribute. In the main experiment, trained panelists evaluated the sensory characteristics of the 7 gruel samples based on a fifteen-point intensity scale using the developed attributes. The results were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance, principal component analysis, and cluster analysis. The results showed that the 7 sweet pumpkin gruel samples significantly differed in their intensities of all attributes except for sweet pumpkin aroma and viscosity. The ready-to-eat style samples were distinctly characterized by their sweet pumpkin aroma and flavor, whereas the ready-to-heat style samples were markedly characterized by their low intensity of gelatinized starch and pumpkin flavor retention.
