The sensory properties and flavor components of the white bread added with arrowroot juice. The lightness of bread crumb decreased significantly as arrowroot juice was added. While the yellowness increased slightly, redness increased remarkably. The hardness, chewiness and adhesiveness of the white bread added with arrowroot juice increased more than those of the control bread, but they had no statistical significance. While the gumminess increased significantly and springiness decreased significantly, the cohesiveness did not indicate significant differences among the comparison groups. In sensory evaluation, the texture, flavor and sweetness did not indicate significant difference among the comparison groups, while the color and overall acceptability indicated significant difference. The optimum concentration of arrowroot juice in the white bread was 25% based on the sensory evaluation scores. The main flavors components of the white bread added with 25% arrowroot juice were compounds translated by arrowroot juice and the compounds formed by amino-carbonyl reaction. The translated flavors were methoxy phenol, ${\beta}-damascenone$, benzylcyanide, and menthofuran. The compounds formed by amino-carbonyl reaction were alkyl pyrazines, pyrroles and furans.

Objective: Pork belly is considered as the most commercially important and preferable primal cut by consumers worldwide. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the effects of fat levels on the meat quality characteristics of pork bellies. Methods: Seventy-eight growing-finishing pigs collected from different commercial pig farms were slaughtered and used in the present study. After slaughter 24 h, bellies were fabricated according to the Korean Pork Cutting Specification, and immediately sampled for analysis of their fat content. Based on the fat levels, the bellies were segregated into three different groups: low fat (LF, fat ≤20%, n = 15), medium fat (MF, fat 21% to 30%, n = 30), and high fat (HF, fat ≥31%, n = 33). The bellies were then analyzed for meat quality traits, fatty acids, flavor compounds and eating quality properties. Results: The HF group had lower moisture and cooking loss levels compared to the other groups (p<0.05). The LF group presented higher proportions of polyunsaturated fatty acids compared to the other groups (p<0.05). The LF group showed higher amounts of the Maillard reaction-derived flavor compounds (e.g., 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine, 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethyl, and 4-methylthiazole) associated with meaty and roasty flavors whereas, the HF group showed higher amounts of oleic acid- derived compounds (e.g., nonanal and octanal) associated with the fatty and oily flavors. Interestingly, significantly higher scores for all the eating quality attributes (flavor, juiciness, tenderness, and overall acceptance) were found in the HF group compared to those in the LF or MF group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The high-fat bellies (fat ≥31%) had a better technological quality and eating quality compared to the low-fat bellies (fat ≤20%). Thus, increasing the fat content may improve the technological quality and eating quality traits of pork bellies, however, this increase may also result in more trimmed loss due to excessively deposited body fat.

The green tea market is rapidly growing and identifying the driving factors of consumers' liking for the green tea is important in the tea industries. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of manufacturing conditions of the green tea on its sensory characteristics, to elucidate its relationship with the consumer liking. A descriptive analysis and consumer acceptability test were conducted for various green tea samples. The samples differed with regard to the source of the tea, the amino acid content, and the processing methods including the roasting temperature. Partial least square regressions (PLS-R) were performed to establish the relationship between the descriptive data and the consumer acceptability data. The PLS-R results showed that the majority of the consumers liked a green tea which has a stronger 'sweet taste' and roasting-related flavors such as 'roasted barley' and 'burnt leaf'. Such sensory characteristics were produced when a sample made of tea leaves mixed with the tea stem was roasted at a high temperature ($250^{\circ}C$) in this study.

The purpose of this study is to provide the basic findings concerning a quality evaluation. The first conclusion is the coffee's $CO_2$ gas production between a roast brewed at 0 hour and 72 hours after grinding. The espresso, 48 hours after its grind, emits a small amount of $CO_2$ gas, whereas 72 hours after being grinded there is no discharge. In the sensory evaluation, the overall preference is the 72 hours later grind, in accordance to the decrease of the bitter, acid, and sour taste with the increase of the sweet, nutty, and chocolaty flavors. The foam index indicates a significant reduction between the roasts brewed at 0 hour and 72 hours after grinding. A persistence of crema in the Colombian Colombia and Ethiopian Yirgacheffe decline for the 72 hours after its grind coffee. The Tanzanian Kilimanjaro and Brazilian Cerrado roasts show no difference. The pH is decreased in the 72 hours after its grind roast. Moreover, sugar contents in the Colombian Excelso and Brazilian Cerrado are increased, whereas the Tanzanian Kilimanjaro sugar contents are decreased, along with its density.

Coffee beans are processed from coffee cherries by either natural, pulped natural, or washing. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the physiochemical and sensory characteristics of espresso coffees processed by different methods. The color of the washed coffee sample presented the highest value of lightness while the natural coffee sample presented the highest value of redness and yellowness. The biggest difference in brewed coffee, whether natural, pulped natural, or washed, was in the TDS content, which was higher in natural coffee and lower in washed coffee. Sensory descriptive analysis and acceptance test for espresso coffee using a 15 cm line scale were carried out by 12 trained panelists. Natural coffee had the highest cherry-like flavor and sweetness taste while washed coffee had the highest citrus flavor and acidity taste. An important attribute of espresso coffee is body, and natural coffee presented strong body while washed coffee presented a low body attribute. In conclusion, significant differences were observed among the three processing methods of green coffee. Pulped natural coffees presented intermediate physiochemical and sensory characteristics compared to washed and natural coffee. Natural coffees are appreciated for their increased body, and washed coffees are appreciated for added citrus flavors and acidity espresso coffee blends.

The physical properties of perilla leaves cultivated in Geumsan province were analyzed according storage conditions. The a/b values of perilla leaves increased with increasing storage period. Electronic nose composed of 12 different metal oxide sensors was used to differentiate flavors of perilla leaves. Sensitivities(delta $R_{gas}/R_{air}$) of sensors from electronic nose were obtained by principal compound analysis(PCA). Proportion of the first principal component was 93.07% at $25^{\circ}C$ and 97.81% at $4^{\circ}C$, respectively. In our result, flavor patterns of perilla leaves can be differentiated according to the storage temperature.

The aroma component of Hallabong peel has been characterized by GC-MS with two different extraction techniques: solid-phase trapping solvent extraction (SPTE) and headspace solid-phase microextraction (HSSPME). Aroma components emitted from Hallabong peel were compared with those of other citrus varieties: lemon, orange and grapefruit by SPTE and GC-MS. d-Limonene (96.98%) in Hallabong was the main component, and relatively higher peaks of cis- ${\beta}$-ocimene, valencene and -farnesene were observed. Other volatile aromas, such as sabinene, isothujol and ${\delta}$-elemene were observed as small peaks. Also, principal components analysis was employed to distinguish citrus aromas based on their chromatographic data. For HSSPME, the fiber efficiency was evaluated by comparing the partition coefficient ($K_{gs}$Kgs) between the HS gaseous phase and HS-SPME fiber coating, and the relative concentration factors (CF) of the five characteristic compounds of the four citrus varieties. 50/30 ${\mu}$m DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber was verified as the best choice among the four fibers evaluated for all the samples.

We investigated the quality of soybean paste(Doenjang) fermented by BAcillus brevis. The results obtained were as follows : soybean paste fermented by Bacillus brevis had alkaline pH and yellow ochre color. Dextrinizing activity was about 98 D.P. unit from 5th to 25th day of fermentation at 3$0^{\circ}C$ and after that day somewhat decreased . Saccharifying activity was respectively 6.1, 7.2, 6.8, 6.4 S.P. unit on 5, 15, 25 and 35th day of fermentation. Protease activity suddenly increased after 15th day of fermentation and was 250, 275, 299 unit on15, 25, 35 th day of fermentation , respectively. The most abundant free amino acid was found to be glutamic acid (561.8mg%) in soybean paste fermented by Bacillus brevis. In case of free sugar and non-volatile organic acid, fructose and oxalic acid showed highest content of 10.25mg% on 25th day and 12.20mg% on 15th day. The contents of free amino acids, free sugars, organic acids in soybean paste fermented by B.brevis were most abundant after 25 days of fermentation and this results were similar to that of traditional soybean paste. The odor of soybean paste fermented by Bacillus brevis was improved to be a nice soybean paste odor on 25th day of fermentation. However, sensory evaluation value of the taste of it decreased after 10 th day of fermentation.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of mustard root on the shelf life of kimchi. Ethanol extract was prepared from the mustard root (Brassica juncea) and antimicrobial activities were examined against Lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides which are the representative lactic bacteria in kimchi. Growth of lactic bacteria were inhibited by ethanol extract from mustard root and the growth time of Leuconostoc mesenteroides was delayed more than 24 hours compared with that of Lactobacillus plantarum. Also, the fermentative and sensory characteristics of kimchi with mustard root were evaluated during fermentation at $10^{\circ}C$. The pH and acidity was lower than that of the control kimchi and the fermentation period was retarded in proportion to the increase in mustard content. The total numbers of microorganism and lactic bacteria in the control kimchi were higher than those in kimchi with mustard root during fermentation. Leuconostoc sp. in the initial stage of growth was more inhibited than Lactobacillus sp. While the pH of kimchi were in the initial stage, the sensory evaluation score for savory flavors of the kimchi with mustard root was lower than that of control due to bitterness and pungency. But when the pH of kimchi reached the optimum stage, the scores for texture and savory flavor of kimchi with mustard root were higher than that of the control. Then overall quality score for kimchi with mustard root increased as bitterness decreased.

Concerns about meat quality, including chicken meat, for the human diet has led to many attempts to manipulate the carcass fat and increase the eating quality. For actual eating quality, the birds must be grown and finished in a manner that results in meat that are tender, succulent and of good flavor, as well as being free from any foreign taint, flavor or safety hazard. Tenderization treatment with high voltage(820V) electrical stimulation and prechill muscle tensioning would improve the tenderness of chicken meat. Proper programs for the withdrawal of feed and water require a team approach for maximizing yield of meat and minimizing carcass contamination. Also effding of supplemental levels of-tocopherol to poultry with vegetable or fish oils increases of desirable polyunsaturated fatty acid(PUFA) content and stablizes the meat against rancidity and fish off-flavors. The nutritional effects of varying dietary ingredients on broiler carcass fat content are also important. Increasing the levels of energy in the ration increases the carcass fat content, while increasing the proteing levels decreases carcass fat content. Supplement-tation of poultry diets with amino acids such as methionine, lysine, glycine and tryptophan as well as amino acid such as well as amino acid mixtures can reduce body fat deposition. Normal stress leads to chicken muscular damage resulting in reduced meat quality, but this can be controlled by preslaughter management practices. Feed manufactures can utilize ntilize nutrient modulation to control pale soft exudative(PSE)syndrome. Finally, the success in poultry meat production depends on the consistent achievement of carefully selected levels of quality. Quality assurance should be the wider function of incorporating quality into the production system and the combination of motivating quality into actions and operations.
