This study was designed to improve the sensory characteristics and mitigate the bitter taste of Platycodon gradiflorum. It was aimed at investigating the qualitative properties of fermented P. gradiflorum after repeated steaming and drying treatments. P. gradiflorum was heated for 2 hr at $95^{\circ}C$, being the first and third treatments compared afterwards. Lactobacillus plantarum, at a concentration of 10%, was used as starter culture. As a result, the third steaming process and the addition of starter improved the physical and chemical properties of P. gradiflorum i.e., crude saponin and total polyphenol contents increased significantly. Moreover, P. gradiflorum steamed three times and fermented by L. plantarum showed the higher overall preference score. Our results indicated that the three-time steaming and drying was an effective manufacturing process for the production of high-quality fermented P. gradiflorum. Lactic acid-fermented P. gradiflorum also could have a potential use as a valuable resource for the development of functional products.

This study was conducted to investigate effect of psychrotrophic bacteria on the quality of raw milk. Acinetobacter genomospecies 10 was selected as lipolytic species, and Serratia liquefaciens as proteolytic species. Lipase present in inoculated raw milk with Acinetobacter genomospecies 10 did not affect total solid and fat contents. However, the free fatty acid (FFA) content, especially short chain FFAs, of milk with Acinetobacter genomospecies 10 was dramatically increased. FFAs produced by lipolysis of milk fat are important in flavor of dairy products, excessive lipolysis occurring in milk and dairy products could cause off-flavor, and produced FFAs may have an underiable effect on their flavor. In addition, protease influenced the quality of inoculated raw milk with Serratia liquefaciens. In degradation patterns of casein by SDS-PAGE analysis from inoculatred raw milk with Serratia liquefaciens, casein content was gradually decreased during storage at $4^{\circ}C$, and extensive degradation of $\kappa$-casein was observed on the storage day of 13. The free amino acids such as leucine, valine, arginine, and tyrosine were dramatically increased, which causes bitter taste in raw milk. These excessive peptides in dairy products, produced by psychrotrophic bacteria, can be possible to develop off-flavors and be responsible for gelling of milk by degradation.

The present study was attempted to preprare calcium-fortified soymilk using proteases to improve calcium intolerance of soymilk protein and to evaluate its nutritional properties. The protease from Bacillus polymyxa was chosen as an enzyme source because it produced the least bitter taste and calcium-aggregation of soymilk among various enzymes. The optimum treatment time was 10 minutes at $50^{\circ}C$ for the best result. In vitro protein digestibility of calcium-fortified soymilks was comparable with that of control soymilk. Calcium in the digested soymilks was mostly in the ionic form and the amount of ionic calcium increased in accordance with the amount of fortified calcium in soymilk. This suggests that fortified calcium in the soymilk is bioavailable.

As a part of the investigation for utilizing pearl oyster by-products, a rapid salt-fermented pearl oyster using commercial enzyme was prepared and also examined on the characteristics. The salt-fermented pearl oyster prepared by optimal condition, which was prepared by mixing of minced pearl oyster, 15% salt, and 1% $Protamex^\circledR$ and fermented for 4 weeks, was superior in hydrolysis degree (28.7%) and ACE inhibitory activity (92.6%) to salt-fermented pearl oyster prepared by other conditions, such as the use of whole tissue, different enzymes $(Alcalase^\circledR,\;Neutrase^\circledR\;and\;Flavourzyme^\circledR)$, different salt concentrations (20 and 25%), and different fermentation periods (2, 6 and 8 weeks). There were, however, some shortcomings with this product. It showed a dark green color and an unfavorable bitter taste. These shortcomings were improved by the addition of seasoning paste. The calcium and phosphorus contents of the seasoned salt-fermented pearl oyster were 64.2 mg/100 g and 71.6 mg/100 g, respectively, and the calcium content based on phosphorus was a good ratio for absorbing calcium. The total amino acid content of the seasoned and salt-fermented pearl oyster was 7,054 mg/100 g and the major amino acids ware aspartic acid (555.1 mg/100 g), glutamic acid (1,131.2 mg/100 g), alanine (658.2 mg/100 g), and lysine (695.5 mg/100 g). The seasoned salt-fermented pearl oyster, along with angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity (98.3%), also showed a recognizable level (87.5%) of anti-oxidative activity.

This study was conducted to investigate the solubility, antioxidative and antimicrobial activity of the freeze dried chitosan-ascorbate (CAs) and chitosan-acetate (CAc). In the results of solubility, CAs was soluble over 0.5% in distilled water, vinegar, green tea, soju (distilled liquor), beer and red wine, while it was not soluble in soy sauce, soy milk, milk, orange juice, coffee, sesame oil, soy milk and soybean oil. The solubility of CAc in the liquid foods was similar to those of CAs, but it was soluble less than 0.1% in beer, and formed curd in red wine. Electron donating activity, antioxidative activity and SOD activity of CAs were 48.2, 90.6 and 67.5%, respectively, while the activities of the CAc were 0, 40.0 and 10.0%, respectively. The minimal inhibitory concentrations of CAs and CAc were $200\;{\mu}g/disc$ against Bacillus circulans, Bacillus brevis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus arabitane and Bacillus sterothermophillus, $400\;{\mu}g/disc$ against Escherichia coli O157, Listeria monocytogenous, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis. There was no significant difference in Hunter's L* value between CAs and CAc $(81.95{\sim}82.97)$, but Hunter's a* and b* values of the CAs was higher than those of CAc. While sour and bitter tastes of CAs were lower than those of CAc, there was no significant difference in astringent taste. From these results, it suggested that CAs has more extensive utility in liquid foods with antimicrobial and antioxidant activity as well as sensory quality compared to CAc.

Changes in red ginseng fusion cheonggukjang properties under various hydrolytic conditions were investigated for its possible application to different types of food products. Among the four types of protease that were analyzed, protease (KMF -G) produced the highest hydrolysis rate, calcium binding capacity, and total phenolic compound content. In addition, the highest fibrinolytic activity and ACE inhibitory activity were also exhibited at 87.10 units and 67.17%, respectively. Among a number of different protease concentrations, a 0.02% concentration of protease (KMF-G) was found to be appropriate for the purposes of the study. The best results for red ginseng cheonggukjang hydrolysis were observed at the 60 and 90 min intervals. However, there was not a significant difference between the results at the two time points. The unpleasant odor and bitter taste associated with red ginseng fusion cheonggukjang improved with hydrolytic activity exceeding 60 min. Thus, the optimal hydrolysis time was determined to be 60 min. The total ginsenoside content of red ginseng cheonggukjang was 9.197 mg/g and the hydrolysate content was 11.707 mg/g. Based on the results, it was determined that the addition of 0.02% protease (KMF -G) and treatment for 60 min are the optimal hydrolytic conditions for red ginseng cheonggukjang to improve its biochemical characteristics, including fibronolytic activity and ACE inhibitory activity.

To utilize Cheonggukjang as a raw material of diverse foods, the quality characteristics of Cheonggukjang and its processed food were compared. Cheonggukjang (CGJ), red ginseng Cheonggukjang (RCJ), and red ginseng Cheonggukjang hydrolysate (RCH) were powdered, and their quality and functional characteristics were examined. The result showed that in regard to general components, carbohydrate content of RCJ was higher than other samples while crude protein content was lower. Free amino acid content of RCH was 2,157.16 mg%, which was approximately 2 times higher than CGJ, and the content of essential amino acid was 812.18 mg%, which was the highest. The result of SDS-electrophoresis pattern showed that CGJ and RCJ showed a molecular weight smaller than 33 kDa, and RCH showed a smaller than 17 kDa low molecular weight, confirming the hydrolysis to small molecular weight. Among the samples, free radical scavenging activity, superoxide radical scavenging activity, and ACE inhibitory activity did not show a significant difference; nonetheless, RCH showed the highest activity while CGJ showed the highest fibrinolytic activity of 111.38 unit. In addition, in sensory evaluation, the peculiar bitter taste of red ginseng could be detected while the overall acceptability was improved. Based on the above results, in comparison with CGJ, as for RCJ and RCH, their function was strengthened and unpleasant odor was reduced, and thus it is anticipated that they could be used as a raw material of diverse foods.

A study on the optimum hydrolysis conditions of fish skin through the aid of enzymes and the development of a natural seasoning using the hydrolysate has been carried out for the effective utilization of fish skin. Using the "pH-drop" techniques the collagenase and pronase were identified as most suitable for this purpose. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values of pronase were 1.82 mgN/ml and 0.06 mgN/mL/min, respectively. The hydrolysis conditions of the cod skin for the pronase were as follows: reaction temperature, $50^{\circ}C$; reaction time, 3hrs; pH 6; enzyme concentration, 0.03%. The degree of hydrolysis at these conditions was 76.8%. But after hydrolyzing cod skin with collagenase for 1hr, when the pronase was treated, the degree of hydrolysis was 83.13%. The molecular weight of the hydrolysate was 8,000 daltons. Among the amino acids in the hydrolysate, glycine(27.95%), glutamic acid(10.94%), proline(7.39%), aspartic acid(9.47%) and serine(7.39%) were responsible for 64.23% of the total amino acids. But valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine and histidine having a bitter taste were only 13.05%. From the results of the sensory evaluation, the imitation sauce which was made of 20% fermented soy sauce prepared from the hydrolysate was at least similar to the traditional soybean sauce in product quality. The complex seasoning containing 31.7% of the hydrolysate was nearly equal to complex seasonings on the market, too.
