Vegetable mixed codiments, commercial products prepared using soybean,paste and natto, respectively as the ingredients, were used ina study to evaluate the efficacy of gamma irradiationas a means of decontamination and the emphasis was placed upon the determination of the effect of irradiation on the microbiological and some physicochemical properties of the samples. The number of microorganisms contaminated ranged from $10^{6}\;to\;10^{7}$ cells per gram in mesophilic total bacteria, which were composed of thermophilts and acid tolerant bacteria by over 90%. They were reduced by 3 to 4 log cycles with irradiation at 10 kGy. Gamma irradiation at 5 kGy could eliminate the microbial populations of yeasts and molds ($10^{2}\;to\;10^{3}$ cells per gram) and coliforms ($10^{6}\;to\;10^{6}$ cells per gram of natto condiments). However, total destruction of microorganisms in soybean-paste and natto condiments was shown to be possible at a dose-range more than 10 kGy. Irradiationup to 10 kGy was not detrimental to the physicochemical properties of the sample, such as pH. amino nitrogen, rancidity and color, even though some change was brought about in the content of sulfur-containing amino acids.

This study evaluated the changes in the pH, acidity, lactobacillus and total bacterial counts, and sensory evaluation of Dolsan leaf mustard Kimchi (DLMK) after incubation for 50 days at 4℃ in the presence of one of three lactic acid bacteria (LAB); Weissella kimchii (W.k.), Leuconostoc gelidum (L.g.), and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (L.m.). The pH ranged from 5.12 to 5.62 and the acidity varied from 0.62% to 3.77% upon the addition of a 2% salt solution to the DLMK prepared using the three LAB. Overall, the LAB counts decreased rapidly from day 10 to day 20 of fermentation, whereas the total bacterial count decreased during the 50 days of fermentation. The pH and acidity in the DLMK ranged from 5.22 to 5.61 and from 0.91% to 4.41%, respectively, in the absence of the 2% salt solution. The LAB count decreased until 20 days and then increased thereafter, whereas the total bacterial count decreased until 20 days and then increased until 50 days. The condiments treated with or without the 2% salt solution showed a gradual decrease in appearance, flavor, salinity, hot taste, and overall acceptability as fermentation time increased. In addition, DPPH radical scavenging activity was high for 2% W. k. and 2% L. m., and ACE inhibitory activity was the highest, at 70.38% in the marinated condiments fermented at 10℃ for 8 days. Thus, this condiment production method may be useful for DLMK and other Kimchi types.

In this study, the alteration of Jook was studied by analyzing and comparing ingredients of Jook appeared in the reference of cookbooks from 1611 to 1958. 121 kinds of Jooks were mentioned 371 times. The Jooks made only with grains, mostly Hin Jook (white Gruel) made of rice, were recorded 31 times in 10 kinds. Rice or processed rice appeared most (194 times) as main ingredients in Jooks other than Hin Jook. As for condiments, honey and sugar were mentioned 37 times, accounting for one third of the condiments recorded as used for Jooks. The basic ingredient of Jooks were rice, but mostly the Jooks were named after the subsidiary materials. Chinese medicinal ingredients were most among the subsidiary materials; 35 kinds of them were mentioned 73 times. As regards the ingredients of the Jook, the other ingredients were added to the grain ingredients between the 17th century and the 19th century whereas only grains were put into Jook during the 20th century.

Processing conditions for dried condiments with oyster, pen shell and cockle shell were investigated. The enzymatic hydrolysis for 3 hours was more profitable than hydrothermal extraction to develop flavoring matters from oyster, pen shell and cockle shell. As a result of omission tests, nucleotides were predominated in the taste compounds of shellfish hydrolysates rather than free amino acids, and the contribution of nucleotides and free amino acids to the taste of shellfish hydrolysates was remarkable. The major flavoring components of shellfish hydrolysates were free amino acids and oligopeptides below 500 dalton. When shellfish hydrolysates were separated with membrane (molecular weight cutoff 500 dalton) for recovering flayer, recovering yields of amino type nitrogen were $92.1\~92.8\%$. Moisture contents of dried shellfish condiments prepared with pretense hydrolyzed oyster, pen shell and cockle shell were $3.5\%,\;3.8\%$ and $3.7\%$, respectively. Contents of total nitrogen were $69.4\%,\;78.8\%$ and $74.2\%$, and those of amino nitrogen were $45.5\%,\;48.9\%$ and $45.4\%$, respectively. Drying yield, solubility and absorption rates at Aw 0.88 were $11.7\%,\;78.4\%$ and $6.8\%$ in oyster, $8.2\%,\;73.6\%$ and $6.1\%$ in pen shell, $9.8\%,\;76.9\%$ and $6.6\%$ in cockle shell, respectively.

The origin of Korean traditional food's spicy taste dates back to the first telling of the Dangun myth-a story of a tiger and bear who tried to reincarnate themselves in human form by eating garlic and wormwood. For a long time, Koreans have eaten spicy vegetables such as green onion, garlic, ginger, mustard, leeks, corni, cinnamon bark, and Chinese peppers (Zanthoxylum schinfolium) and Zanthoxylum bungeanum. In prehistoric times, spicy vegetables were probably used to eliminate the smell of meat. In the agricultural age, they were used to supplement meals with fresh taste. They were also used as a substitute for salt (salt was very precious and expensive) as well as side dishes for the poor. Spicy vegetables have also been used as a substitute for main dish like medicinal gruel and used to increase the spiciness of soup, and they are usually used as a side dish and with condiments in namul (cooked vegetable dishes), sangchae (salad), ssam (wrapped in greens and garnished with red-pepper paste or other condiments) and Kimchi. In addition, chili pepper was introduced to the Korean Peninsula in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty (mid-15th, 16th century). The soil and climate of the Korean Peninsula are suitable to growing chili pepper, and chili pepper has excellent adaptability and productivity. Accordingly, it is processed to red pepper powder and has become a major part of traditional Korean food along with Chinese pepper. Since the Joseon Dynasty, many kinds of Kimchi made with red pepper powder have been developed, and most Koreans enjoy them these days. The main characteristics of Korean food are spiciness and honest-to-goodness taste.

Conditions for processing dried condiments with powdered sea tangle were investigated. The most appropriate method for sea tangle extraction was two-stage extraction, that extracted with addition of 70% ethyl alcohol at $25^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour and residue was re-extracted with water(1:15, w/w) at 7$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The yield of soluble solids under above-mentioned conditions was 14.9%. As a result of omission tests, free amino acids were predominated in the taste compounds of sea tangle extracts rather than nucleotides, and the contribution of free amino acids and nucleotides to the taste of sea tangle extracts was remarkable. The major flavoring components of sea tangle extracts were matters of low molecular weight such as free amino acids and oligopeptides below 5,700 dalton. Contents of carbohydrate, total nitrogen and amino nitrogen in dried condiments prepared with sea tangle extracts were 64.9%, 3.7% and 2.1%, respectively. And drying yield, solubility and absorption rates at Aw 0.88 were 14.7%, 98.3% and 8.4%, respectively.

Objectives: This study investigated the utilization and satisfaction of lunchbox by considering the dietary lifestyle of the consumer, in order to refine the purchasing behavior of adults with experience in using lunchboxes, and to provide basic data for efficient menu configuration and direction towards improvement. Methods: A total of 600 adults in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do answered a self-administered questionnaire designed to investigate general characteristics, utilization, menu preference, satisfaction, prospection, and improvement of lunchbox, according to the dietary lifestyle. Results: The study subjects were classified into 5 groups: 'taste seeking group', 'safety seeking group', 'health seeking group', 'economic seeking group' and 'convenience seeking group. Considering purchase value of the lunchbox, the 'taste seeking group' had a high utilization rate (35.1%) for prices less than 4,000 won (P < 0.05). Lunchboxes were mainly purchased at the lunchbox store (43.3%) and convenience store (37.7%). The important factor that contributed to purchasing a lunchbox was taste (61.3%), which was highest in the 'taste seeking group' (P < 0.01). The 'health seeking group' showed the highest preference for the low-salt diet lunchbox menu (26.0%) (P < 0.05). The satisfaction of 'health seeking groups' was lowest when considering addition of condiments (2.34%), origin of ingredient (2.59%), and provided calorie (2.81%) (P < 0.05). The overall response indicated future use of the lunchbox (69.6%) (P < 0.01); 35.8% respondents recommended the purchase of lunchbox, where convenience of purchase was the highest factor contributing to recommendation (50.2%) (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Taken together, our results indicate that taste was emphasized in every group purchasing the lunch box. Convenience of purchase was the highest factor contributing to satisfaction, which was relatively low when considering addition of condiments, nutrition and origin of ingredients. We propose that it is necessary to improve the development of various menus for increasing satisfaction by selecting the right ingredients contributing to good health of the consumer.

The effect of boiling with grain vinegar and citric acid on the dissolution of Ca. Mg and P out of beef rib bone during stew preparation was investigated. As the concentration (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0%) of grain vinegar and citric acid increased, the amount of Ca, Mg and P dissolved out of the rib bone increased compared with the control. The increase in boiling time(1, 2, 4, 8, 12 hour) also showed the same result. Between the two acid condiments citric acid extracted more Ca, Mg. P compared with the grain vinegar at the same concentration. The pH of the rib bone stew added with the acid condiments increased gradually during the boiling process. In sensory evaluation. the rib bone stew boiled for 12 hours with 2% grain vinegar was highly evaluated compared to the stew prepared with citric acid.

조미식품과 관련된 용어로서는 양념, 조미료, 등이 있고 영어로는 Seasonings, Flavorings, Condiments, Spice등이 있다. 사전적인 의미에서 약간의 차이가 있을지 몰라도 조미식품이란 직접 음용하는 일은 드물고 주로 다른 식품의 풍미를 증진시키는데 이용되는 모든 식품을 말하며 일반사전에는 없는 일종의 '합성어'이다. 따라서 한마디로 정의하기 어렵고 다른 식품과의 구분도 애매한 편이다. 우리나라 표준산업 분류에는 조미식품 제조업이란 분류는 없다. 한편, 식품공전에서는 조미식품을 "식 등의 풍미를 돋우기 위한 목적으로 사용되는 장류, 시초, 소스류, 토마토 케첩, 카레, 고춘가로 및 실고추 향신료가공품, 드레싱, 복합조미식품, 향미유 등의 제품을 말한다"고 정의되어 있다. 이 중 장류에는 간장, 된장, 고추장, 춘장, 청국장 등이 포함되며, 소스류에는 우스타소스 등 서양풍 소스는 물론이고 불고기양념등과 같은 우리의 전통양념류를 포함한다. 우리나라 경우 드레싱보다는 마요네즈가 먼저 소개되어 현재 생산량이나 소비량에서 압도적으로 우위에 있기 때문에 마요네즈가 널리 알려져 있으나, 마요네즈는 샐러드드레싱, 프렌치드레싱 등과 마찬가지로 드레싱의 일종으로 보는게 타당하다. "소스"라는 말도 넓은 의미에서는 조미식품 의 대부분을 포함하며, 좁은 의미로는 현재 식품공전에서 말하는 제품류들이다. 이처럼 조미식품이라 하면 시초, 토마토 케첩 및 소스류, 마요네즈 및 드레싱류, 카레 및 천연향신료 등을 포함하는 좁은 의미를 뜻하는 경우가 많다. 본문은 이중에서 천연향신료를 중심으로 그 원료소재에 따른 기능별 효과를 다루고자 한다.
