In recent, Kimchi is produced in the scale of industry, Consumers show increased demand of safety and high quality and hygienic process control. So, sun drying, hot air drying and cold air drying methods were investigated to compare the demand Sun drying took 96 hrs, hot air drying took 4 hrs at $70^{\circ}$ and cold air drying took 102 hrs at $10^{\circ}C$ in removing water to $90\%$ from radish. Brownness of radish was expressed as absorbance. Absorbance were 0.20, 2.04 and 1.87 and also Vit-C contents were 0.14 mg/g, 0.12 mg/g and 0.096 mg/g in dried radish according to cold air drying, hot air drying and sun drying, respectively. From overall experimental results, cold air drying method was found as superior drying method to other drying methods.

We compared the physicochemical properties of, and volatile components in various commercial fruit vinegars (made from apples, grapes, and persimmons). Total acidity was highest in grape vinegars. Significant between-sample differences were evident in total and reducing sugar contents. Brownness, turbidity, and overall color difference (the ${\Delta}E$ value) were highest in persimmon vinegars. Free sugars were composed mainly of fructose, glucose, sucrose, and maltose. Major organic acids were present in the (descending abundance) order acetic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid, and succinic acid, among-samples difference were negligible. Nine-essential free amino acids were detected in nine types of grape and persimmon vinegars, and in six varieties of apple vinegar. Among 17 types of volatile compounds identified in apple vinegars, 12 in grape vinegars, and 33 in persimmon vinegars, the main volatile components were acetic acid, ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, isovaleric acid, isoamyl alcohol, propanoic acid and phenethyl acetate. Volatile chemicals in commercial fruit vinegars were effectively analyzed using a SAW e-nose.

In this study, the effect of functional substances such as polyphenols and flavonoids contained in large quantities in red ginseng and herbal medicines on the antioxidant activity properties and flavor effect were investigated by increasing the content and activity of functional ingredients by convert red ginseng through a steaming heat-drying process compared to the traditional dry processing method of ginseng and herbal medicines. According to the experimental results, the addition of pre-heat treatment significantly increased antioxidant properties such as DPPH radical scavenging ability, polyphenols, and flavonoids. In addition, during the steaming and heat-dried red ginseng manufacturing process, the amino-carbonyl browning reaction was promoted, resulting in increased brownness and a savory flavor. However, the content of ginsenosides, the main medicinal ingredient in red ginseng, became the main cause of the bitter and harsh taste. In addition, the bitter and harsh taste of red ginseng has been significantly improved by roasting and producing powder, but on the other hand, Radix Angelicae sinensis, polymorphic angelica and Peony, which are used as main medicinal ingredients in oriental medicine for nutritional tonic prescriptions such as 10 herbal medicine and 4 herbal medicine have a very strong herbal medicine-specific flavor and have a bitter and harsh taste. It is so strong that in order to use it as an instant extraction material, it was reviewed that a steaming and heating manufacturing method was needed during the manufacturing process.

This study was carried out to develop Yakju, a new kind of Korean traditional rice wine added with bamboo ethanol extract and characterized by containing various health benefits. The wine with bamboo ethanol extract was fermented by adding ginger and pear to improve flavor and quality. Several quality characteristics and physiological functionalities of Yakju were investigated. When bamboo ethanol extract was added to Yakju, the pH level decreased compared to that of the control. However, total acidity and soluble solid levels were higher than those of the control. The alcohol content of Yakju added with bamboo ethanol extract was slightly higher than that of the control. In examining the colors of Yakju containing bamboo ethanol extract, L value was lower than that of the control, whereas b value and brownness were higher. Various organic acids such as citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, and acetic acid were determined, and the main organic acid among them was lactic acid. Various free sugars such as sorbitol, glucose, and fructose were detected and glucose was the most abundant. Total polyphenol content of Yakju added with bamboo ethanol extract was lower than that of the control. Further, electron-donating ability ranged from 23.8~40.0%, which was higher than that of the control. Nitrite scavenging ability of Yakju added with bamboo ethanol extract ranged from 15.2~36.4%, which was higher than that of the control at pH 6.0. Sensory evaluation of Yakju showed that bamboo ethanol extract+ginger as well as bamboo ethanol extract+ginger+pear treatment significantly increased flavor, taste, and overall acceptance compared to the others.
