Crab-like flavoring base (CFB) was made from a concentrated snow crab cooker effluent (SCCE) containing five food additives (proline, glycine, arginine, methionine, fructose) using reaction flavor technology (RFT). The volatile flavor compounds in CFB were compared between raw (SCCE) and control (without food additives) samples using solid phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography with mass selective detector. A total of 74 compounds were detected in all samples (30 raw samples, 34 control samples, 55 CFB samples). A total of 22 nitrogen-containing compounds, including 19 pyrazines and 3 pyridines, were formed through RFT and increased 27 times compared to the control. Dimethyl trisulfide and dimethyl disulfide were predominant sulfur-containing compounds that increased through RFT, while aromatic compounds decreased through RFT. Seven compounds, tetramethylpyrazine, 2-ethyl-3,5,6-trimethylpyrazine, 2,3,5-trimethyl-6-(3-methylbutyl)pyrazine, 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethyl-3-(3-methylbutyl)pyrazine, 2-ethyl-3,6-dimethylpyrazine, and 2-decanone potentially have a role in CFB odor by Pearson's correlation analysis.

The objective of this study was to improve the sensory qualities of soymilk. For this purpose, soymilk was prepared by adding different types of rice grain, including cooked, puffed, and saccharified rice. Acceptable products could be obtained by addition of saccharified rice. The addition of saccharified rice had a positive influence on sensory qualities, especially mouth feel. Further, soymilk with saccharified rice was comparable in terms of physicochemical characteristics (pH, soluble solids, and viscosity) with commercial whole-bean soymilk. This result suggests that there are opportunities to develop a new market for soy-milk that incorporates health benefits and traditional beverages.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of cold maceration and heat treatment prior to alcohol fermentation on the quality characteristics of wine made from Okrang grape cultivar. The results of this study show that alcohol contents of wines increased as fermentation period increased, whereas $^{\circ}Brix$ values decreased. The pH levels of wines ranged from 3.17 to 3.42 while the total acidities of wines ranged from 0.49~0.99%. The free sugar contents of wines tended to decrease as fermentation period increased. In particular, free sugar content of wine pre-treated at low temperature prior to alcohol fermentation slowly. Total polyphenol content of wine heat-treated prior to alcohol fermentation was higher than those of other wines and reached a maximum value after fermentation for 2 days. Campbell Early wine showed the strongest antioxidant effect, measured based on DPPH free radical scavenging activity, followed by Okrang wine pressing after fermentation. These results indicate that pre-treatment before wine fermentation greatly affects wine quality and biofunctional activities.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of Yanggeng sweetened with various amounts of trehalose (0, 40, 60, 80, 100 % of trehalose) and their changes during storage times. The moisture content, color value, $^{\circ}Brix$, pH, texture profile, QDA and acceptance for samples were tested. As a result of the mechanical tests, moisture content and pH were increased while hardness were decreased with increased trehalose content. Also, moistness, gloss and after taste were increased with increased trehalose in the sensory attribute difference test. Acceptance test showed Yanggeng with 60% trehalose and 40% sucrose obtained the highest scores on flavor, taste and overall acceptability. During storage in refrigerator, Yanggeng sweetened with higher % of trehalose showed significantly higher moisture content, and lower syneresis and hardness than the control sweetened with only sucrose. The results of the sensory test showed that 60% trehalose Yanggeng was the highest in flavor, after taste, and overall acceptability.

This study was carried out to develop jelly food using dried persimmon. Jelly products were prepared with the ratio of 5, 10, 15, 20 and $25\%$ of dried persimmon extract. Quality characteristics of its products were investigated. Proximate compositions of jelly were $6.74\~14.03\%$ of moisture, $6.83\~7.53\%$ of crude protein, $0.62\~1.16\%$ of crude lipid, $2.61\~13.21\%$ of crude ash, respectively. Water activity and brix $(\%)$ of jelly products ranged from 0.678 and $56.66\%\;to\; 0.748\;and\;76.59\%$. The pH and total acidity of jelly products ranged from 5.30 and $0.06\%$ to 5.38 and $0.09\%$. In the Hunter's color values, L, a and b vaules of jelly products were increased, respectively. Major free-sugar and organic acid of jelly products were maltose ($753\~1,297mg/100g$) and malic acid (263mg/100g in $25\%$ dried persimmon jelly). Major mineral of jelly products was K ($69.64\~154.37mg/100g$). In the texture property, addition of dried persimmon extract decreased gumminess and chewiness. In sensory score of dried persimmon jelly, color, flavor, texture and sweetness of $15\%$ dried persimmon jelly were high score, taste and overall acceptance of jelly products were high score, respectively. Judging from research results of the jelly products, recommended substitution level for addition of dried persimmon extract in jelly was $10\~15\%$.

It has been reported that Korean Red Ginseng has been manufactured for 1,123 y as described in the GoRyeoDoGyeong record. The Korean Red Ginseng manufactured by the traditional preparation method has its own chemical component characteristics. The ginsenoside content of the red ginseng is shown as Rg1: 3.3 mg/g, Re: 2.0 mg/g, Rb1: 5.8 mg/g, Rc:1.7 mg/g, Rb2: 2.3 mg/g, and Rd: 0.4 mg/g, respectively. It is known that Korean ginseng generally consists of the main root and the lateral or fine roots at a ratio of about 75:25. Therefore, the red ginseng extract is prepared by using this same ratio of the main root and lateral or fine roots and processed by the historical traditional medicine prescription. The red ginseng extract is prepared through a water extraction ($90^{\circ}C$ for 14-16 h) and concentration process (until its final concentration is 70-73 Brix at $50-60^{\circ}C$). The ginsenoside contents of the red ginseng extract are shown as Rg1: 1.3 mg/g, Re: 1.3 mg/g, Rb1: 6.4 mg/g, Rc:2.5 mg/g, Rb2: 2.3 mg/g, and Rd: 0.9 mg/g, respectively. Arginine-fructose-glucose (AFG) is a specific amino-sugar that can be produced by chemical reaction of the process when the fresh ginseng is converted to red ginseng. The content of AFG is 1.0-1.5% in red ginseng. Acidic polysaccharide, which has been known as an immune activator, is at levels of 4.5-7.5% in red ginseng. Therefore, we recommended that the chemical profiles of Korean Red Ginseng made through the defined traditional method should be well preserved and it has had its own chemical characteristics since its traditional development.

This study analyzed the major chemical components of raw and dried persimmons (Diospyros kaki Thunb.). Raw and dried persimmons contained (respectively) 85.52% and 47.36% moisture, 0.10% and 0.13% crude fat, 0.30% and 1.89% crude protein, and 0.56% and 2.0% crude fiber. The main free sugar components in both raw and dried persimmons were glucose and fructose. Seventeen amino acids were identified in the dried persimmons, amongst which the dominant ones were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, histidine and arginine. The total amino acid content of raw and dried persimmons was 3,130.76 ppm and 12,849.33 ppm, respectively. The major fatty acids in total lipids were palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid and linolenic acid in both raw and dried persimmons. The raw persimmons had 23.22% palmitoleic acid and 32.70% linolenic acid, suggesting that they have a high ratio of unsaturated fatty acids. The mineral content of both raw and dried persimmons was Na < Fe < Ca < P < K.

To investigate the usability of the bitterns produced during salt manufacture, the characteristics of soybean curds coagulated with bitterns like solar salt bitterns (SSB), dehydrated salt bitterns (DSB), concentrated sea water (CSW) and bitterns produced during the storage of solar salt (BSS) were measured. The Mg contents of all the bitterns were the same, but the Na content of the BSS was 1.0-2.0 times as high as that of the other bitterns. The yield of the soybean curds did not differ with the addition of coagulants, except for the CSW. However, the soybean curds were acquired in large quantities by the DSB and CSW. The mg and Na contents of the soybean curds that were made with the bitterns were higher than those of $MgCl_2$. The heavy metals were below 3 ppm in the curds, especially those produced by the CSW, but Pb was not detected. Among the mechanical characteristics of the soybean curds, their adhesiveness was not affected by the coagulants, but the mechanical hardness of the curds produced by the DSB and CSW was lower. The sensory evaluation showed that the curds that were produced by the bitterns were more highly preferred than those produced by $MgCl_2$. In particular, the soybean curd that was made with the CSW was favored due to its soft texture. The results of this study, particularly the high yield of the curds that showed a soft texture, showed that the bitterns, especially the CSW, could be used safely and economically.

This study examined the physico-chemical properties of omija extracts that were manufactured using various water temperatures($0^{\circ}C$, $23^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$) and immersion times(12 hrs, 18 hrs, 24 hrs). The results were as follows: The pH levels of the extracts ranged from 2.86 to 2.95: however, there were no significant differences between the samples according to the various water temperatures and immersion times. The total organic acid contents of the samples ranged from 1.87 to 2.57%, and included citric acid, malic acid, and succinic acid at levels of $1.11{\sim}1.54%$, 0.49{\sim}0.66%$, and $0.25{\sim}0.38%$, respectively. As the immersion time and water temp. is erature increased the level of total organic acid significantly increased(p<0.01). The sugar contents of samples ranged from 3.01 to 3.90% brix, and did not show significant differences according to the immersion times at the different water temperatures(0, 23, $70^{\circ}C$). The Omija extract that was immersed in water for 24 hrs. at $70^{\circ}C$ had a significantly higher(p<0.05) sugar content than the other samples. The total free sugar contents of samples ranged from 0.714 to 0.833%, and included glucose, fructose, and sucrose at levels of $0.37{\sim}0.42%$, 0.34{\sim}0.41%$, and $0.003{\sim}0.004%$, respectively. The Omija extract that was immersed in water for 18 hrs. at $70^{\circ}C$ water had a significantly higher(p<0.05) total free sugar content than the other samples. The lightness, redness, and yellowness values of the samples were in ranges of $49.09{\sim}58.25$, 62.37{\sim}67.34$, and $19.76{\sim}24.57$, respectively; therefore, red was the predominant color of the extracts. Overall, as the immersion time and water temperatures increased is, lightness significantly decreased and redness significantly increased(p<0.001).

This study aimed to determine the physicochemical and sensory qualities of yogurt dressing prepared with Bokbunja juice(0, 10, 20, 30 and 40%). As the amount of added Bokbunja juice increased, contents of organic acids(citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, succinic acid and acetic acid) increased. The viscosity of the control group(8306.67 cP) was higher than those of the others(1633.33~6913.33 cP). The pH of the control group(3.96) was higher than those of the others(3.90~3.85). The sweetness of the control group(14.43) was lower than 10% Bokbunja juice added group(14.93). Color L decreased significantly, whereas a value and b value increased significantly with more Bokbunja juice added. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 5.84%, whereas those of yogurt dressing samples with Bokbunja juice ranged from 39.72~88.17%. The sensory property results showed that yogurt dressing with 30% Bokbunja juice added group had the highest value in terms of color, flavor, taste, mouth feel, and overall acceptability. Overall, the result of this study indicates that the yogurt dressing containing 30% of Bokbunja juice was most preferred among the groups.
