This study evaluated the quality characteristics, the presence of polyphenolic compounds, and radical scavenging activity of rice cooked along with various mixed grains (barley, black soybean, adzuki beans, foxtail millet, proso millet, sorghum, glutinous rice) by following two different cooking methods (normal and pressure cooker). The amylogram and water characteristics of mixed grains showed significant differences based on the presence of different types of mixed grains. The chromaticity, palatability characteristics, presence of phenol compounds, and radical scavenging activity of rice cooked along with different mixed grains showed significant differences according to the nature of mixed grains. Total polyphenol contents of before cooking, cooked-rice added to mixed grains cooked in the normal cooker and a pressure cooker were 4.46~5.16, 0.58~0.93 and 0.65~0.96 mg GAE/g, and total flavonoid contents were 250.74~548.89, 129.26~207.04 and $127.41{\sim}218.15{\mu}g\;CE/g$, respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of before cooking, cooked-rice added to mixed grains cooked in the normal cooker and a pressure cooker was 79.25~181.61, 22.07~53.64 and 7.51~39.97 mg TE/100 g, and ABTS radical scavenging activity was 203.25~328.24, 47.28~84.94 and 58.27~99.51 mg TE/100 g, respectively. Accordingly, it is necessary to different combinations of mixed grains according to the cooking method at home and grain industry.

A survey for zearalenone contamination was conducted on 27 soy bean samples, 27 red bean samples, 16 black bean samples, 19 seoritae samples, 14 seomoktae samples, for a total of 127 commercial Korean samples. Zearalenone was quantified by the immunoaffinity column clean-up method with high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD), and was confirmed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS). The limits of detection and quantification were $2.0{\mu}g/kg$ and $6.0{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. The recovery in the beans ranged from 82.2 to 98.4%. According to HPLC-FLD, zearalenone was detected in 13 samples (10.2% incidence), including 1 soybean and 12 red bean samples. The zearalenone contamination levels were in the range of 8.01${\sim}38.98{\mu}g/kg$. Finally, LC-MS/MS analysis was conducted in the contaminated samples to verify the results of HPLC-FLD. The LC-MS/MS results confirmed the presence of zearalenone in all 13 samples. The contamination level was lower than that of EU, which is below $100{\mu}g/kg$ for raw grains.

Three species of fish such as yellow tail (Seriola quinqueradiata), bastard halibut (Paralichthys olivaceus) and black rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) were exposed to the dinoflagellate, Cochlodinium polykrikoides, and quality changes of fish after death were investigated during the extended storage. The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and aerobic plate counts (APC) were determined in the muscles of fish, arid organoleptic change was evaluated in the kills, skins and muscles. APC in all the fish species did not change in 6 hours of storage, but increased gradually thereafter. VBN contents in the muscles continuously increased throughout the storage of fish. Slightly higher levels of APC and VBN were observed in the tested fish than control fish, which had been exposed to air until died and stored in seawater without treating C. polykrikoides. After 12 hours of storage, APC and VBN contents in the muscles did not exceed the initial spoilage limit, 10$^{5}$ CFU/g fur APC and 30 mg/100 g for VBN, in all of the fish including control fish. Organoleptic change in fish treated with C. polykrikoides did not greatly differ from the control fish. After 8 hours of storage, distinctive deterioration of muscle was detected organoleptically in the treated fish and the control fish. The compiled result indicated that moribund fish exposed to C. polykrikoides bloom should be handled properly in 6 hours of storage after death of fish.

Antimutagenic effects of extracts from curry powder and its individual fourteen kinds of spices, were investigated by Ames test. The antimutagenic effects against a direct mutagen, 2-nitrofluorene(2 -NF) and two indirect mutagens, 2-anthramine(2-AT) and 2-acetamidofluorene (2-AE) in the S. typhimurium TA98 were tested. For the 2-NF, the antimutagenicity of cinnamon, fenugreek, fennel, ginger, clove, turmeric and celery seed were determined as 42, 38, 32, 28, 24, 23 and 20%, respectively. The antimutagenicity of clove against the 2-AT was the highest (116%), and followed by the order of celery seed(103%), cardamon(100%), red pepper(99%), cinnamon(92%), cumin(83%), ginger(82%), fennel(82%), coriander (71%), nutmeg(68%) and turmeric (55%). The results also showed that the antimutagenic effect of clove against the 2-AF was superior to other spices. In case of curry powder among more than 10 kinds of spices, the antimutagenenicity against the 2-AT and 2-AF showed 23% and 6%, respectively, but no effect was observed against the 2-NF.

This study was carried out to examine the of quality on the dried Omija according to its package materials and storage plates. The changes of moisture contents, anthocyanin content, molds damage rates, and color values were measured during storage. In the sealing up by the P.E file, the moisture contents of the dried Omija had just a little differences among the storage places, but in the gauze bag remarkably as the storage period goes on, especially in this case, 8 months later since the storage in the cool chamber, the damage rates of the dried Omija by the mold was 9.0%, twice as much as in the indoor bag packaging it was increasand after 10 months, that was lather high in the indoor and warehouse. The anthocyanin content of the dried Omija after the storage of 10 months was the highest at 0.05mm black P.E film package in the cool chamber, which was 55.7 mg/100g, but in the indoor and warehouse 39.7, 45.0mg/100g, respectively. These results show thats the storage conditions had an important effect on the quality of the dried Omija during the long-term storage.

The study was carried out to develop the powdered smoked-dried anchovy products as a natural flavoring substance. The processing conditions, chemical and taste compounds of products were as follows: The raw anchovy were washed, and then boiled 5 minutes in $5{\sim}6%$ NaCl and 1.0% sodium erythorbate solution. Boiled anchovy were smoked in smoking house at $40^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours as the first stage, and then increased temperature up to $80^{\circ}C$ as the second stage, and finally smoked 8 hrs at $80^{\circ}C$ to maintain the moisture content between 9 and 10 percent. The smoked-dried anchovy were pulverized and screened to be 50 mesh of particle size, and finally packed in PET/Al/CPP film bag. The moisture, crude lipid content and salinity of powdered smoke-dried anchovy were 9.4%, 9.6% and 6.9%, respectively. Fatty acid composition of product was mainly consisted of polyenes (43.4%) such as 22 : 6 and 20 : 5, followed by saturates (36.9%), monoenes (19.7%). The principal taste compounds of product were IMP, 466.5 mg/100g; free amino acids such as His, Tau, Pro, Lys, Ala and Glu, 1179.2 mg/100g; non-volatile organic acids such as lactic acid and succinic acid, 617.9 mg/100g; total creatinine, 595.9 mg/100g; small amount of betaine and TMAO. To make a instant soup, it was desirable for taste of products that powdered smoked-dried anchovy were mixed with 20% salt, 4.0% sugar, 3.0% MSG, 1.0% onion powder, 1.0% garlic powder and 1.0% black pepper.

Twenty-nine pepper products commercially available in the market were collected and investigate for contamination levels. Pepper products purchased from traditional markets had a degree of contamination of $10^6-10^7CFU/g$ aerobic bacteria, $10^4-10^5CFU/g$ Bacillus sp., and less than $10^2CFU/g$ yeast and molds. Organic pepper showed a degree of contamination of $10^4$ aerobic bacteria, $10^2-10^3$ Bacillus sp., and less than $10^1$ yeast and molds. Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment of 10 min (1,000 V, 5 pps and 4 cm sample-to-lamp distance) showed a bacterial death rate of 1.45-1.55 log for whole peppers, and of 0.8-0.85 log for black and white pepper powder. The sterilization rate using IPL was higher than that using other non-thermal sterilization methods, such as ozone treatment or low-pressure discharge plasma sterilization, indicating that the IPL sterilization method may find potential application in the industry. However, further studies may need to be conducted to enhance the effect of sterilization.

An Actinomycetes strain, MSA-1, containing antimicrobial component was isolated from the black sponge, Halichondzia okadai, and was identified to a genus level by morphological and chemotaxonornic methods. The gray colored spores were oval type with smooth surface and formed flexibilis spore chains. The cell wall of this strain was type I containing D-aminopimellic acid (D-DAP) and no specific sugar was detected. Phospholipid of the cell membrane was PII type including phophoethanolamine and the major fatty acids of total lipid were branched anteiso-15 : 0, iso-16 : 0, 16 : 0 and iso-17 ; 0. From these results and other characteristics described in the Bergey's Manual, this strain was identificated as a Streptomyces sp. Meanwhile, 10mg of pale yellow colored antimicreobial component was isolated by HPLC method from the cultured Streptomyces sp. (70g of cryophillized mycellis). By crystallographyc analysis, HIRESMS and NMR assignment, the antimicrobial component produced from the strain MSA-1 was elucidated as the staurosporine (indolo[2,3-a]carbazole alkaloid).

In order to aide in the design of an improved menu book, which could play an important role as a marketing tool, the current version of the menu books and managers (subjects) of 295 restaurants in the Incheon area were examined. These were managers of Korean (36.3%), Western (25.8%), Japanese (14.6%), cafeteria (12.5%) and Chinese (10.8%) style restaurants. The level of service (self-evaluation, 3-point scale) was average $2.25{\pm}0.45$. The general colorings of the menu books were green (19.0%), brown (18.6%), black (17.6%), yellow (15.9%), red (13.6%) and blue (13.2%). The material of the menu book cover was mainly leather (35.9%), and the internal material was mainly coated paper (59.7%). Physically, the design was two-panel fold (38.3%), two-panel multi-page (35.6%), die style (10.2%), single panel (8.1%) and tent style (7.8%). The type sizes were unchanged in 49.9% of the menu books and in 61.7% photos were not used. 53.9% of menu books did not explain the menus, and 13.2% did not classify the items into groups. Emphasis of profit-making menus was not done in 66.8%. 51.5% of menu books were irreplaceable in parts. The emphasis of profit-making menus was less among the Korean style restaurants (p<0.001). The possibility of partial replacement of menu books was lower in both Korean and Chinese restaurants (p<0.001). The explanation of the items was lower in the Japanese restaurants (p<0.001). The classification of items into groups was lower in cafeteria (p<0.001). In cases in which there were both seasonal and event menus, the possibility of partial replacements of menu books was higher (p<0.001). Restaurants of which service level was less than ordinary were lower in the differentiation of type sizes (p<0.001), the use of photos (p<0.001), the explanation of menus (p<0.001), the classification of menus by groups (p<0.05), the emphasis of profit-making menus (p<0.001) and the possibility of partial replacement of menu books (p<0.001). If these study findings are applied to the designing of menu books, the role of the menu book as an important tool for marketing could be greatly improved.
