The present study was conducted to examine sensory characteristics of non-fermented tea and fermented teas with fermented times of 0 hr (green tea), 10 hrs (mild fermented tea), 17 hrs (medium fermented tea), 24 hrs (black tea), respectively. The lightness of tea powder and tea extract got lower, and the redness and the yellowness of those got higher as tea was more fermented. The result of sensory evaluation about the extracts of non fermented tea and fermented teas showed that the preference of flavor got higher in the more fermented tea but one got lower in a mild fermented tea according to temperatures, respectively. The preference of taste got higher at 60∼7$0^{\circ}C$ extracts in the green tea and got the highest at 80∼9$0^{\circ}C$ extracts in the medium fermented tea and black tea. A total of 76 flavor components was detected in non fermented tea and the total contents of those were 129.9 mg/kg. The major components were linalool, geraniol, nerolidol, benzyl alcohol, and linalool oxide. A total of 76 flavor components was detected in the mild fermented tea and total contents of those were 159.1 mg/kg. The major components were geraniol, linalool, linalool oxide, ethanol, benzyl alcohol, etc and were similar in those to the non fermented tea. A total of 79 flavor components was detected in the medium fermented tea and total contents of those were 455.6mg/kg. The major components were ethyl acetate, 3-methylbutanal, ethanol, (E)-2-hexenal, geraniol, linalooloxide. A total of 79 flavor components was detected in the Black tea and total contents of those were 680.5 mg/kg. The major components were 3-methylbutanal, ethyl acetate, geraniol, ethanol, (E)-2-hexenal, hexanal, linalooloxide. The amounts of flavor components was increased, but the amounts of aldehyde compounds was remarkably increased according to the degree of fermentation.

Effects of kochujang (Korean red pepper soybean paste) extracts on tumor formation, natural killer (NK) cell activity in spleen and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity in liver were investigated in the sarcoma-180 cell transplanted mice. Inhibitory effects of these samples on lung metastasis of colon 26-M3.1 cells were also evaluated in the Balb/c mice. The injection of methanol extracts from traditional kochujang I (TK I, 0-day fermented), II (TKII, 6-month fermented), commercial kochujang (CK, 1-month fermented) and red pepper powder (RPP) significantly reduced tumor formation in Balb/c mice (p<0.05), TKII decreased tumor growth by 46% compared with control, resulting in the smallest tumor weight. The transplantation of sarcoma-180 cells increased the spleen/body weight ratio of Balb/c mice, while TKI and TKll significantly decreased this index (p<0.05). The effect of TKll and CK, fermented kochujang, on the NK cell activity of splenocytes was higher than that of sarcoma-180 cells transplanted control group. TK II recovered the activity of hepatic GST that was decreased by the transplantation of sarcoma- 180 cells in to the mice. All kochujang-treated mice had significantly fewer lung metastatic colonies than control mice. TKII was the most effective in inhibiting lung metastasis of colon 26-M3.1 cells. These results indicated that optimally ripened (6-month) TK had more suppressive effects on tumor formation and lung metastasis than RPP and kochujang without fermentation and commercially prepared kochujang in mice.

In order to develop the processes for the production of fermented feed from cellulosic agricultural by-product, cereal straw, by th action of cellulolytic fungus, the properties of the cellulolytic enzyme produced by Trichoderma sp. KI 7-2 was studied. A higher enzyme activity was obtained in the culture added by 1％ rice or barley straw powder than in the culture of pure cellulose. The crude enzyme was prepared by precipitating from 20∼60％ saturated ammonium sulphate of the culture supernatant. The optimum conditions for the enzyme reaction were temperature of of 50$^{\circ}C$ and pH 4.2. The crude enzyme was static at 50$^{\circ}C$ for two hours and at pH between 4 and 6. These properties were adopted for the fermented feed production, and several production. Thus, several processes of semisolid culture were devicced to up grade tile fermented feed and to develop into the acceptable quality.

Traditional kakdugi prepared from salted radish by the addition of fermented shrimp or anchovy sauce along with seasonings and spices, e.g., red pepper powder, garlic or ginger, which has been examined for the formation of volatile nitrosamine(NA) during its fermentation at 5oC and 17oC. Changes of acidity were increased; while, those of ascorbic acid and pH were continually de creased and besides concentrations of salt were scarcely observed during the fermentation of kakdugi at 5oC and 17oC. High initial levels of nitrate in radish followed by a gradual decreased in nitrate concentration, along with increasing levels of nitrite, during its fermentation. During the fermentation of kakdugi, NA such as N nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) and N nitrosodiethylamine(NDEA) was identified; these NA in kakdugi that had been prepared with shrimp sauce contained in the higher levels than kimchi that had been prepared with anchovy sauce, and both NDMA and NDEA were detected higher levels in the fermented sample at 17oC than in the fermented sample at 5oC. In kakdugi, NDMA and NDEA levels were continually increased during its fermentation; its levels after 35 days fermentation at 17oC were 0.5~16.7 and 0~5.2 g/kg in added shrimp sauce sample, 0. 5~8.7 and 0~4.7 g/kg in added anchovy sauce sample and 0.4~4.8 and 0~2.4 g/kg in control, respectively. The occurrence of NA such as NDMA and NDEA appeared to arise from the fermented sauce and radish used in preparation of the kimchi.

The purpose of this study was to develop a seasoned Hwangseoke-jeot(a kind of salted and fermented fish) with chitosan having less fishy smell and salty taste. In order to decrease the fishy smell and increase the palatable taste effectively, four types of seasoning were developed, in which minced ginger, garlic and onion were included. In order to improve the color and flavor of seasoned Hwangseoke-jeot, high-quality powdered hot red pepper was also added in all the seasonings. Seasoned Hwangseoke-jeot type 1 had the oil and roasted powder of sesame, which are known to decrease fishy smell and palatable taste, and was the basis of other seasoned Hwangseoke-jeot. Type 2 had the oil and roasted powder of perilla, which also were known to decrease fishy smell and to increase palatable taste effectively. Type 3 had roasted soybean powder and laver to increase savory and palatable taste. It was developed especially for old and young people who like savory taste. Type 4, containing citron syrup, was for the young and children. All the developed seasoned Hwangseoke-jeot samples had better red color and other sensory properies than the control (S-company's seasoned Hwangseoke-jeot), as tested by colorimetry and sensory evaluation. More than 1% (w/v) of chitosan gave an astringent taste to seasoning, so it is recommended not to exceed 1% (w/v) in the seasoning. The developed functional seasonings of jeot would be applicable to other kinds of jeot.
