For the purpose of supplying the imformation to improve the acceptability of soy paste as the condiment, the changes of enzyme activity, general component and flavor compounds (Free amino acid, Nucleic acid related compounds, and peptide) during improved soy paste fermentation were determined. The results were as follows; 1. The protease activity during fermentation were increased continuously, but amylase activity were decreased in 45 day fermentation. Cellulase activity were slowly increased until 45 day, and then slowly decreased. 2. Total nitrogen contents were almost constant during fermentation, but amino nitrogem were increased rapidly. Reducing sugar were not constant, but increased in the end of fermentation. PH were decreased to pH 4.97. 3. Total contents of free amino acid as flavor compound were rapidly increased in 10 day fermentation, but were constant in $30{\sim}60$ day. Aspartic acid contents were increased continuously, but glutamic acid were increased slowly until 30 day fermentation and were almost constant. IMP and GMP contents showed increasing pattern during fermentation.

This study was conducted to investigate the chemical composition of essential oil, absolute and oleoresin isolated from Elsholtzia splendens and their biological activities. Yields of essential oil, absolute and oleoresin extracted from Elsholtzia splendens were 0.28%, 12.45% and 9.95%, respectively. The major component was 2-cyclohexen-1-one in essential oil, methyl linolenate in absolute and 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid in oleoresin. Essential oil and oleoresin showed the inhibitory activities in enzyme-dependent, enzyme-independent and autooxidative lipid peroxidation system. $EC_{50}$ values in nuetral red uptake (NRU) assays for the exposure times of 24 h were $46.4{\mu}g/ml$, $681.7{\mu}g/ml$ and $17.6{\mu}g/ml$ in essential oil, absolute and oleoresin, and oleoresins showed the cytotoxic effect at the only high dose. Any mutagenic and antibiotic activity did not show in absolute and oleoresin, but, there were mutagenic and antibiotic activities only when treated with essential oil $500{\mu}g/ml$ above in Ames test. Essential oil and oleoresin might be somewhat effective in prolongating the ciliostasis of rat trachea.

The study was conducted to confirm the possibility of producing alcohol beverages from Dae-hong peaches. Upon examining the quality characteristics of distilled soju using Dae-hong peaches, the alcohol content was 1.12 to 1.16 times higher than that from the atmospheric distillation method. Soju with 20 % peach extract content had the highest alcohol content and the lowest volatile acid content, indicating a low possibility of causing irritating odors. Acetaldehyde was 1.3-1.94 times lower in vacuum-distilled soju, and methanol was not detected in all samples. The absorbance value of furfural, a burnt component generated during distillation is high in atmospheric distillation, which can cause irritating odors. Upon examining the volatile fragrance components, isoamylalcohol and 1-propanol were found to be the main components, both of which were the highest in the treatment group with 20 % peach extract content. The electronic nose analysis revealed that this group showed the most opposing flavor patterns to the control group, and when distilled under reduced pressure with 20 % addition of Dae-hong peaches can produce high-quality soju.

This study was conducted to compare the food quality of commercial salt-fermented silver-stripe round herring (SFS) to that of commercial salt-fermented anchovy (SFA). The contents of moisture and crude protein of SFS were higher than those of SFA. However, the crude lipid and crude ash contents of SFS were lower than those of SFA. The salinity of SFS was 13.2%, which was lower than that of SFA. The taste value of SFS was 148.1, which was higher than that of SFA. The total amino acid content of SFS was 18.1 g/100 g and its major amino acids were glutamic acid (9.5%) and aspartic acid (8.1%). The contents of calcium, phosphorus and iron in SFS were 647 mg/100 g, 363 mg/100 g and 4.1 mg/100 g, respectively. Twenty six types of fatty acids were detected in SFS and the major components were 16:0, 18:0, 18:1n-9 and 22:6n-3. The angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibiting and the antioxidative abilities of SFS were 50.0% and 1.15, respectively, which were similar to those of SFA. Sensory evaluation revealed that SFS had a superior taste and color to SFS, while to the flavor of two products was similar.

Preparative HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) is mainly used for separating useful component from biological samples. By reversed-phase HPLC packed with preparative packings ($15{\mu}m$), the adsorption characteristics with sample size were investigated. Sample was 5'-GMP, a flavor enhancer, and the composition of mobile phase was 20mM $KH_2PO_4$ solution:methanol (97:3 vol.%). From the experimental results, the effect of sample size on retention factor was negligible, but the peak was asymmetrical above $1{\mu}g$ of sample. In addition, the increase in sample size deteriorated the number of theoretical plates, and at small concentration, the number of theoretical plates was less because of large peak width. In the experimental condition, the adsorption isotherm of 5'-GMP was relatively well represented by Freundlich equation.

Taipei Watershed Management Bureau (WRATB) is a government agency entitled for water resources protection at two major watersheds in order to provide drinking water for about four millions population in Taipei on a sustainable basis. At WRATB, there are two major public sewage treatment facilities which can convert sewage in each watershed into an acceptable state before they were discharged into rivers. More than 82% of household wastewater have been collected and treated by the two public sewage systems. However, households at remote area still need more effective sewage management prescriptions. The objective of this paper is to implement geographic information systems in order to provide more effective approaches that sewage management can be easier and cost effective. ArcIMS was implemented for Internet browsing and map server of those sewage facilities on personal computers, laptop computers. In the open field, ArcPAD was implemented with personal digital assistant (PDA) such that compact flash type's global positioning systems (GPS) and digital camera can be utilized with PDA. All sewage facilities digital files were convert into ArcMap format files. MapObjects and visual BASIC were used to create sewage application modules to meet every single technician personal flavor. ASP.NET was implemented for Internet database manipulations of all sewage databases. Mobile GIS was the key component of GIS applications in the open field for sewage management on a basis of house by house. Houses at remote area, which can not cover by the two public sewage systems, were managed by PDA and laptop computers with GPS and digital camera. Sewage management at Taipei Watershed Management Bureau is easier both in the open field and in the office. Integration of GPS, GIS, and PDA makes sewage management in the open field much easier. ArcIMS, MapObjects, ASP.NET and visual BASIC make sewage management can be done in the office and over Internet.

The sensory characteristics of 12 commercial top-fermented beers were determined by sensory descriptive analysis. Beer samples were also analyzed for soluble solids, titratable acidity, pH, reducing sugar content, bitterness unit (BU), turbidity, hunter color values, amino acid content, total phenolic content, and DPPH radical scavenging activity. Five appearance, nine aroma, six flavor/taste, and four mouth-feel related sensory attributes were evaluated by a panel of nine judges. As the result of three way analysis of variance of descriptive data, all sensory attributes except "cereal" aroma and "salty" taste showed significant differences among the beers (p<0.05). Based on the principal component analysis of the descriptive data, samples were primarily separated by first and second principal components, which accounted for 78% of the total variance between the beers with high intensities of "yellow color", "caramel aroma", and "barley taste" versus "hop aroma", "sour", and "citrus aroma". In the correlation analysis between the sensory terms and physicochemical parameters, BU, total phenolic content, titratable acidity, soluble solids, and yellowness ($b^*$) showed significant positive correlations with citrus aroma, pineapple aroma, and fresh aroma characteristics.

This study was conducted to investigate the food components of cooking drips from shell oysters steamed under various retort pressures. Among the drips from shell oyster steamed under different retort pressures (1.0, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 kg/$cm^2$) the oyster drip obtained at the 4.5 kg/$cm^2$ of retort pressure had the highest degree of brix, yield, crude protein, glycogen and trichloroacetic acid soluble-N contents, while its salinity was the lowest. In the results of food safety test, the presence of E. coli (18 MPN/100 g>) and viable cell (30 CFU/g>) in the oyster drip was in acceptable level as a food-stuff. However, the sensory evaluation such as color, flavor and taste, total amino acid and free amino acid contents of cooking drip from shell oyster steamed at 4.5 kg/$cm^2$ were inferior to those of oyster wash water. Differences in the major amino acids of total amino acid and free amino acid between oyster cooking drip and oyster wash water were also found. The results suggested that the effective use methods of oyster cooking drip should be investigated.
