Fermented ordinary Korean soysauce has been one of the most favored seasonings in Korea. The change of free sugars as taste components during the fermentation were analyzed. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. Such free sugars as xylose, arabinose, glucose and galactose were detected in Korean ordinary soysauce during the fermentation and galactose was found to be most abundant free sugars. 2. The content of these free sugars in soysauce were increased until 20-40days of fermentation and then decreased rapidly. But slight increase was observed after 80 days of fermentation. 3. It is estimated that galactose plays most important role as sweet taste component in Korean ordinary soysauce.

Yam(Dioscorea) tubers were used as one of the dietary starches in Korea, China and Japan because of its characteristic properties. Yam tubers were powdered after freeze drying the sliced tubers to investigate carbohydrates. Chemical properties such as proximate components and carbohydrates were studied using three varieties of Korean yams, namely. D. batatas, D. aimadoimo and D. japonica. The proximate components of yam tubers showed that the major components of Korean yam tubers were carbohydrates and moisture. The main components of free sugars in yams were identified as fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose. In addition to these four sugars, there were two unidentifiable peaks whose areas are too big to ignore. These results were obviously different from other reported data of free sugars in yams. The main components of total sugars were mannose and glucose.

To investigate the difference of palate between Korean and Japanese people, we analyzed oligopeptide, free amino acids, 5'-ribonucleotides and free sugars of salted preserves from Korea and Japan. The salted preserves from Korea were grouped into 3 classes, 'Food Market (Korea)', 'Side Dish (Korea)', 'Bottled (Korea)'. The 'Side Dish (Korea)' and the 'Bottled (Korea)' type are made by adding to the 'Food Market (Korea)' seasonings, red pepper or other food materials. The salted preserves from Japan were bottled goods purchased at food stores, and they were classified as 'Bottled (Japan)'. The results were as follows: (1) Sodium chloride was 23.2% in the 'Food Market (Korea)' type. 14.4% in the 'Side Dish (Korea)', 7.1% in the 'Bottled (Korea)' and 5.8% in the 'Bottled (Japan)', respectively. (2) The 'Food Market (Korea)' didn't contain free sugars. but all the other salted preserves contained $3,500{\sim}6,500\;mg$ free sugars/100g. (3) None of the salted preserves contained 5' IMP or 5' GMP. (4) The main free amino acids of the 'Side Dish (Korea)' were glutamic acid, leucine and alanine, but the 'Bottled (Japan)' contained an extremely high amount of glutamic acid.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes of free sugars, non-volatile organic and fatty acids in flue-cured leaf tobacco during aging. The threshed leaf tobacco(B1O and C1L) produced in 2002 crop year was aged for 21 month in warehouse of Oc-Cheon Leaf Tobacco Processing Factory. The leaf tobacco were sampled at three month intervals for analysis of free sugars, non-volatile organic and fatty acids. The major free sugars of flue-cured were glucose and fructose regardless of tobacco grades. After aging period of 21 months, the contents of glucose and fructose showed a tendency to slightly decrease, and there was no appreciable change in the contents of sucrose in B1O and C1L grades. The major compound of non-volatile organic acid and fatty acid were malic, oxalic and citric, linolenic, linoleic and palmitic acid regardless of tobacco grade. After aging period of 21 months, the contents of malic, malonic, oxalic and fumaric acid showed a tendency to slightly decrease, whereas succinic acid was slightly increased, and maleic acid was not changed in B1O and C1L grades. The decreases in fatty acid contents in B1O and C1L grade tobacco loaves after 21 month aging were 16.5% and 9.8%, respectively. The decreases in linolenic acid contents in two grades were the highest, showing 22.1% and 12.0% reduction after 21 month aging.

This thesis is to analyze the ingredients of five-fruit tea depending on extraction time as a basic experiment for quality improvement and industrialization of traditional Korean beverage. According to extraction time, the acidity of the tea is 2.4% at 30 minutes, 2.3% at 50 minutes and 1.7% at 70 minutes, and soluble solid is 0.22 g, 0.31 g and 0.41 g. The pH of five-fruit tea, which is 4.70, 4.85 and 4.98 at each time, and total sugar is 54.01 m9, 108.82 m9 and 142.92 mg as extraction time increases. The total amount of free sugars is 1.14 mg, 1.36 mg and 2.17 mg, and glucose, surcose and fructose which are 98.2%, 92.6% and 92.6% of the whole percentage occupy the most part of free sugars. The total free amino acids content increases to 84.94 mg, 99.67 mg and 120.40 mg. The five kinds of amino acids like serine, glutamic acid, threonine, proline and alanine amount to 94.5%, 93.6% and 94.7% at all. she variation in the percentage of free amino acids content in accordance with extraction time is as follows : threonine, extracted for 50 minutes, is reduced considerably and glutamic acid decreases gradually as extraction time increases. When proline is extracted for 50 minutes, it's rate of increase Is most high.

Total nitrogen content, proline, free amino acids, sugars, invertase and diastase activities in native bee-honey (NBH) and foregin bee-honey (FBH) harvested from our different areas of Kangwon , Korea were determined. The total nitrogen contents of NBH and FBH were 0.077$\pm$0.033mg% and 0.055$\pm$0.022mg%, respectively. Proline content in NBH was 42$\pm$10mg% and waqs found to be much lower than that in FHB. Phenylalanine and proline were major free amino acids both in NBH and FBH . The content of total free amino acid in FBH were twice as much as that in NBH , however isomaltose content in NBH were almost two times more than that in FBH. Other sugars including fructose, glucos , sucrose and maltose were also analyzed. No differences were found between NBH and FBH in invertase activities, but comparing to these of FBH ,lower values of diastase activity in NBH were observed.

This experiment was conducted to characterize and quantify the free sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose) contained in many different portions of watermelon (Citrus vulgaris L.) and muskmelon (Cucumis melo var. reticulatus Naud.) fruits by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Free sugars were mainly fructose, glucose, sucrose, and their contents were variable among portions. Total free sugar contents were higher in the stylar end and side than in the stem end of both watermelon and muskmelon. Total free sugar contents increased from the periphery toward the central core in watermelon and except central core content seeds in muskmelon Ratio of nonreducing to reducing sugars [(fructose + glucose)/sucrose] was gradually decreased from the periphery toward the middle area in watermelon, though the central core showed higher value than the middle area. For the edible portion of muskmelon, the ratio was decreased toward middle area, and no significant difference was observed between the central core and the middle area. However, reducing sugars and nonreducing sugar were all increased from the periphery toward the central core in watermelon. In contrast with watermelon, reducing sugars were decreased in muskmelon.

Changes of free sugars, lipoxygenase activity and effects of chitosan treatment were analyzed during cultivation of soybean sprout. Free sugars(sucrose, raffinose and stachyose) were more rapidly decomposed in the cotyledon of soybean sprout. Contents of sucrose and raffinose in control group were decreased more rapidly than those of chitosan treated soybean sprouts (CTSS). But the decreasing rate of stachyose was higher in the CTSS. In the hypocotyl, 82% of L-2/3 activity were decreased, whereas 42% of the activity were decreased in the cotyledon after 132 hours of germination. The effect of chitosan treatment on the lipoxygenase activity was more effective on L-2/3 isozyme than L-1. After the germination period of 132 hours, L-2/3 activity of control group was 82.7unit/mg and that of CTSS was 56unit/mg.
