Flavor quality is import for determining consumer perception and acceptance of tomato products. In this study, 'Fendou' tomato fruit were harvested at six ripening stages and sampled to investigate the development of flavor-relevant compounds during vine ripening. Results showed that upon the initiation of ripening there was an increase in respiration rate and concomitant ethylene evolution that was associated with increased membrane permeability. In accordance with these physiological changes, flavor-relevant compounds demonstrated different expression patterns as fruit ripened, which contributed to 'red-ripe' flavor characteristics of red-ripe fruit. Based on correlation analysis between ethylene evolution and the flavor-relevant compounds during 'Fendou' tomato ripening and the other researchers' reports, the activation of System 2-dependent autocatalytic ethylene production plays an important role in the development of most flavor-relevant compounds during tomato vine ripening. Overall, our results suggested that most flavor-relevant compounds that accumulated the most during tomato fruit ripening at red stage could be under ethylene regulation and were among the most important contributors to the 'red-ripe' flavor. Due to the development of these compounds, the flavor quality at late ripening stages is different from that of fruit at early ripening stages.

To enhance the productivity of fruit flavor compounds from whey by the lactose fermenting yeast, Kluyveromyces lactzs ATCC 8585 was treated with N-methyI-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG). After the NTG treatments, a mutant showing resistance to antifungal activity of geraniol, and strong fruity but low yeasty flavor was selected and named as K. lactis 450 K. Flavor compounds from 3-day culture broth were extracted with pentane-dichloromethane (2:l) and the concentrated oleoresins were analyzed by gas chromatography. The mutant strain produced more classes and larger amount of flavor compounds than the parent stlain. Tentatively identified volatile compounds from the culture of the mutant were: terpenes such as myrcenol; alcohols such as cis-3-hexenol, n-hexanol; esters such as ethyl isovalerate, cis- 3-hexenyl n-butyrate, n-amyl-n-hexanoate, phenyl ethyl n-propioate; ketones such as methyl vinyl ketones; other compounds such as vanillin, 3-methylcoumarin.

This study aims to determine the optimal picking time and the favorate variety for Ume processing. The changes of physicochemical components and flavors of 6 varieties of the Ume were investigated during maturing. Average weight of the fruit increased to the range of 151-292% from 70 days to 90 days after blooming. The hardness of fruit decreased during maturing and Koume variety was not suitable for processing among the last harvesting samples. Moisture and ash were reached to 89-91%, 0.57-0.69%, respectively, and the ash content increased during maturing. Among the Ume varieties, relatively high content of total acid was observed in Oshuku and Koume. The major organic acid were malic, citric, succinic, and tartaric acid. The content of malic acid decreased significantly, whereas citric acid increased during maturing. Thirty five kinds of flavor components were identified from the Ume fruit and main components were ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, and organic acid derivatives. Koume contained a large amount of flavor components among the Ume and the content increased during maturing.

Analysis on the sensual quality of kiwi fruit-gruel spread was done to indicate to it was executed to find out the merchandising potential of the preparation and to provide basic data for gruel commercialization. Increasing content of kiwi concentrate decreased the solid content and pH of kiwi fruit, and increased sweetness and viscosity. Significant changes in chromaticity to L(lightness) and a(redness), texture qualities of hardness and cohesiveness, gumminess, springiness, color, flavor, sourness, and sweetness were evident with increasing kiwi concentrate. Concerning overall acceptability and sensory evaluation, 20% softness samples were most preferred. The findings may lead to enhanced medical/nutritional activity and functionality of kiwi fruit-supplemented gruel. The more the kiwi concentrate was added to the gruel, solid content and pH of the kiwi fruit-grue decreased. The sweetness and viscosity of kiwi fruit-gruel increased. For chromaticity to L(lightness) and a(redness) of the gruel decreased and showed significant difference between sample groups. For texture, there were significant changes shown for hardness and cohesiveness the amount of kiwi concentrate added was different, increased There was a significant change between samples for gumminess. As for springiness, there was a significant change between samples. There were significant difference between each sample for color, flavor, sourness, sweetness. For softness, overall-acceptability and sensory evalution 20% group was most preferred based on this study, from the physico-chemical and sensual perspective, 20% group is highly recommended for adding kiwi concentrate into gruel. In conclusion, this study is meaningful as it enhanced the functionality and quality of a gruel by combining kiwi fruit with various medical action and excellent functionality, with Kiwi Fruit and presented a basic material for creating a kiwi concentrate combined gruels.

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the quality characteristics of Gouda cheeses supplemented with fruit liquor (Prunusmume or Cornus officinalis). Fruit liquor was supplemented to Gouda cheeses during preparation. Changes in chemical composition, lactic acid bacterial population, pH, water-soluble nitrogen, sensory characteristics, and proteolysis were monitored in the prepared ripened cheese. The electrophoresis patterns of cheese proteins, fruit liquor functional component concentrations, and the flavonoid content of the cheeses were also determined. The addition of fruit liquor did not affect (p> 0.05) the appearance or sensory characteristics of the cheeses. Higher amounts of crude ash, mineral, and flavonoids (p< 0.05) were observed in the liquor supplemented cheese than in the control cheese. Findings from this study suggest that wine supplemented Gouda could provide additional nutrients while maintaining flavor and quality.
