The objective of this study was to analyze volatile and aroma-active compounds in Korean wild chive (Allium monanthum Maxim.) cultivated in open-fields or greenhouse systems using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation-gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry and GC-olfactometry. Aroma-active compounds were evaluated using aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). Twenty-two aroma-active compounds with log₂ flavor dilutions (FD) of 1-10 were detected in Korean wild chive, which was cultivated in an open-field or a greenhouse. 2-Isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine ("earthy"), 2-sec-butyl-3-methoxypyrazine ("earthy", "musty"), and dipropyl disulfide ("sulfurous") were the most predominant aroma-active compounds with log₂FD of 9-10; this was followed by dimethyl trisulfide ("onion-like") and (E)-1-propenyl propyl disulfide ("fresh onion-like"). The "sulfurous", "earthy", "pungent", and "cabbage-like" aroma notes were strong in Korean wild chive. More intense "pungent" odors were detected in Korean wild chive cultivated in an open-field, whereas more intense "cabbage-like" odors were detected in Korean wild chive cultivated in a greenhouse.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of roasting degree of barley on aroma characteristics of boricha (barley tea) using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-olfactometry. Fifteen volatile compounds including pyrazine, ethylpyrazine, butyrolactone, and guaiacol were considered important volatile compounds, which are generated by roasting barley, because concentrations of those volatiles were significantly increased (p<0.05) as roasting degree of barley was darker. Guaiacol (smoky), furfuryl alcohol (burnt sugar), and furfural (caramel) were detected as aroma-active compounds of boricha with high intensity. Aroma intensity of aroma-active compounds in boricha increased with increase in roasting degree of barley. However, one unknown compound with burnt smell was detected as off-flavor in dark roasted barley. Therefore, it is implied that medium roasting of barley is desirable during boricha manufacturing. Furthermore, boricha manufactured with steamed barley contained more abundant volatile flavor compounds, which may lead to better aroma quality of boricha.

Nowadays, two types, Yumhae and Sikhae methods, remained as traditional seafood fermentation methods in Korea. In this study, flavor compounds in two types of salt-fermented fishes made by Yumhae method such as anchovy Engraulidae sp., shrimp Caridea sp., squid Decapodiformes sp., big eyed herring Clupea sp., gizzard shad Dorosoma sp. and hairtail Trichiurus sp., and made by Sikhae method such as Alaska pollack Gadus Chalcogrammus and squid. Volatile compounds detected in all salt-fermented fishes were composed mainly of aldehydes (45), ketones (39), alcohols (45), acids (12), esters (47), N-containing compounds (43), aromatic hydrocarbons (37), S-containing compounds (26), furans (10), and miscellaneous compounds (40) in salt-fermented fishes made by Yumhae method. Meanwhile, alcohols (47), terpenes (38), S-containing compounds (22), carbonyl compounds (19 aldehydes, 18 ketones), esters (13), and acids (14). Aroma-active compounds were identified by Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/olfactometry and aroma extract dilution analysis in salt-fermented anchovy, shrimp and tuna (Thunnini sp.) sauce. Ethyl 2-methylbutanoate (candy/sweet) and 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine (nutty/baked potato-like) were predominant odorants in salt-fermented anchovy, whereas dimethyl trisulfide (cooked cabbage/soy sauce-like), 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine, and (E,E)-2,4-heptadienal (fatty/grainy) in salt-fermented shrimp, and dimethyl trisulfide, 3-methylbutanal (dark chocolate-like), and 3-methylthiopropanal (baked potato-like) in tuna sauce.

To characterize aroma properties of burnt beef reaction flavor manufactured by extrusion, volatile flavor compounds and aroma-active compounds were analyzed by simultaneous steam distillation and solvent extraction (SDE)-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O). Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) was successfully extruded with precursors (glucose, cystine, furaneol, thiamin, methionine, garlic powder, and lecithin) at $160^{\circ}C$, screw speed of 45 rpm, and feed rate of 38 kg/hr. Sixty eight volatile flavor compounds were found in burnt beef reaction flavor. The number of volatile flavor compounds decreased significantly when HVP was extruded either with furaneol-free precursors or without precursors. Twenty seven aroma-active compounds were detected in burnt beef reaction flavor. Of these, methional and 2-methyl-3-furanthiol were the most intense aroma-active compounds. It was suggested that furaneol played an important role in the formation of burnt beef reaction flavor.

In this study, the concentration of odorants released from albumin (EA) and yolk (EY) portions of boiled egg samples were determined as a function of storage time. The concentrations were measured at storage days of 0, 1, 3, 6, and 9 under room temperature. As such, odorants produced during both fresh and decay conditions were measured through time. A total of 19 compounds were selected as the main target odorants along with 12 reference compounds. GC-MS (for VOC) and GC-PFPD system (for sulfur gases) equipped with thermal desorption (TD) system were employed for odorant analysis in this work. The initial concentrations measured from the chamber system were converted into flux terms ($ng{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}min^{-1}$). The EA showed the highest concentration of $H_2S$ (234 $ng{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}min^{-1}$) at EA-0, and the concentrations of AT (Acetone) was also seen clearly in the range of 11.7 (EA-0) to 58.6 $ng{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}min^{-1}$ (EA-9). The EY showed similar patterns. EtAl (Ethyl alcohol) increased 9.47 (EA-1) to 96.7 $ng{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}min^{-1}$ (EA-9) in EA samples. Ketone, alcohol, sulfur groups generally exhibited high concentrations compared to other odorants. These data were also compared in relation to olfactometry related dilution-to-threshold (D/T) ratio by air dilution sensory (ADS) test and sum of odor intensity (SOI).

In this study, volatile compounds were isolated from traditional and commercial fermented soybean pastes according to different heating temperatures (room temperature, $50^{\circ}C$, $100^{\circ}C$) using headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME). The compounds were then analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 51 volatile components, including 18 esters, 3 alcohols, 6 acids, 8 pyrazines, 5 volatile phenols, 6 aldehydes, and 5 miscellaneous compounds, were identified. Esters and acids such as ethyl hexadecanoate, acetic acid, and 2/3-methyl butanoic acid were the largest groups among the quantified volatiles. By applying principal component analyses to the GCMS data sets, differences were observed in the volatile components of the soybean pastes as to the different heating temperatures. A large variation was shown between the volatile components of the traditional and commercial soybean pastes by increasing the heating temperature. Commercial samples had significantly higher levels of longer chain ethyl esters, aldehydes, and thermal degradation products such as maltol and 2-acetyl pyrrole, while traditional samples showed higher concentrations of acids and pyrazines.

In this study, four Korean black raspberry wines were developed from different regions in Korea; Gochang (G), Heongsung (H), Jeongup (J), and Sungchang (S). Their flavor profiles were determined using a combination of volatile analysis and sensory evaluation. From the volatile analysis of the developed wines, 8 acids, 17 alcohols, 12 esters, 9 terpenes, 3 aldehydes and ketones, and 4 miscellaneous compounds were identified. Preferences of appearance, aroma, full-body, and overall acceptability in the developed wines were determined using 9-point hedonic scale by 43 panelists, compared with one commercial black raspberry wine (Sunw). The sweetness, sourness, astringency levels were also evaluated using 9-point just-about-right (JAR) scale. The mean overall acceptability score of Sunw (5.58) was the highest among the tested wines, followed by G (4.81), S (4.44), H (4.41), and J (4.13) (p<0.05). Sweetness levels in the developed wines were overall lower than JAR level, while sourness and astringency levels were overall higher than JAR level.

The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effects of roasting methods on volatile flavor compounds of boricha using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation-gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry and GC-olfactometry. The barley roasting methods tested were air roasting (AR), drum roasting (DR), and air/drum roasting (ADR). Twenty, twenty-one, and eighteen aroma-active compounds were detected in the products of AR, DR, and ADR, respectively. Guaiacol (smoky), 2-acetylpyrazine (almond-like), and furfuryl alcohol (burnt sugar-like) were detected as high intensity aroma-active compounds. Intensities of most aroma-active compounds produced by the DR method were higher. On the other hand, aroma intensities of phenols produced by the AR method, such as guaiacol and 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol (curry-like), tended to be stronger. Aroma characteristics of phenols are not considered to be desirable for boricha. Although roasting time for DR was longer than that for AR, DR may be an effective barley roasting method for enhancing desirable aroma characteristics of boricha.

To comply with stricter regulations provoked by increasing odor nuisance, it is imperative to practice effective odor control for sustainable livestock production. This study was conducted to assess odor and odorous compounds emitted from liquid animal manure with different treatment methods such as Fresh Manure(without treatment, FM), Anaerobic Digestion(AD) and Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion(TAD) and their application to soil. Air samples were collected at the headspace of liquid manure, upland and paddy soil, and analyzed for odor intensity and offensiveness using an olfactometry; odor concentration index using odor analyser; nitrogen-containing compound such as ammonia(NH3) using fluorescence method; and sulfur containing compounds such as hydrogen sulfide(H2S), methyl mercaptan(MeSH), dimethyl sulfide(DMS) and dimethyl disulfide(DMDS) using gas chromatography-pulsed flame photometric detector, respectively. Odor intensity, offensiveness and concentration index from TAD liquid manure was statistically lower than those from FM and AD(p<0.01). Mean concentrations of H2S, MeSH, DMS, DMDS and NH3 were 65.93ppb, 18.55ppb, 5.26ppb, 0.33ppb and 10.57ppm for liquid manure with AD; and 5.15ppb, 0.97ppb, 0.80ppb, 0.56ppb and 1.34ppm for liquid manure with TAD, respectively. More than 60% of malodorous compounds related to nitrogen and sulfur were removed by heterotrophic microorganisms during TAD treatment. When liquid manure was applied onto upland and paddy soil, NH3 removal efficiencies ranged from 51 to 94% and 22 to 91% for AD and TAD liquid manure, respectively. The above results show that liquid manure with TAD is superior to AD and FM with respect to the odor reduction and odor problem caused by land applied liquid manure is directly related to the degree of odor generated by the manure treatment method.
