The aim of this research was to enhance the flavor of visceral extracts from skipjack tuna. Flavor precursors and the optimum condition for the Maillard reaction were determined. The flavor extract was prepared from the tuna viscera using Endo/Exo Protease controlled in 3 factors; temperature, enzyme amounts and incubation time. The optimal condition for producing tuna viscera protein hydrolysate (TVPH) was 60℃, 0.5% enzyme (w/w) and 4-hour incubation time. TVPH were further processed to tuna viscera flavor enhancer (TVFE) with Maillard reaction. The Maillard reactions of TVFE were conducted with or without supplements such as xylose, yeast extract and methionine. The Maillard volatile components were analyzed with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Sixteen volatiles such as 2-methylpropanal, methylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, dimethyl disulfide and 2-acetylthaizone were newly formed via Maillard reaction and the similarity of volatile contents from TVPH and TVFE were virtualized using Pearson's correlation integrated with heat-map and principal component analysis. To virtualize aromagram of TVPH and TVFE, odor activity value and odor impact spectrum (OIS) techniques were applied. According to OIS results, 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanal, 1-octen-3-ol 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, methional and dimethyl trisulfide were the potent odorants contributed to the meaty, creamy, and toasted aroma in TVFE.

After treating spent coffee grounds with alkali, extracts were prepared by using Viscozyme and Alcalase, respectively. Treatment of spent coffee grounds with alkali and enzymes increased the content of phenolic compounds in the extracts, thus possessing the good scavenging activities on free and cation radicals. In particular, the extract obtained by continuous treatment with alkali and Alcalase on spent coffee grounds had the best content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity, and inhibited the growth of Streptococcus mutans in proportion to the concentration. In conclusion, the Alcalase-enzymatic hydrolysate of alkali-treated spent coffee grounds showed excellent antioxidant and anticariogenic effects.

Soy protein was hydrolyzed by 5 different pretenses and determinated antimicrobial activity of each hydrolysate. The soy protein hydrolysate treated by pretense from Aspergillus saitoi showed the highest antimicrobial activity among the protease studied and was used for further analysis. Soy protein hydrolysate was fractionated by ultrafiltration for M.W. 10,000,3,000 and 1,000. The M.W 1,000∼3,000 showed the highest antimicrobial activity. The minimum inhibition concentrations of obtained fraction were 0.5∼0.8 mg/mL for gram positive and negative microbials, and its activity was even observed after heating at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 10 min, suggesting that hydrolyzed protein having antimicrobial activity is quite heat-stable. Reverse-phase HPLC was further applied to separate the fraction and 8 peaks were found. Each 8 peaks were separated and pooled and measured antimicrobial activity. Among them, retention time of peak at 16.02 min showed the prominent antimicrobial activity.

A total of forty male mice (32∼33 g average initial body weight) were used in a 10-d growth study to evaluate the effects of dietary yeast hydrolysate SCP-20 on reproductive function in male mice. Dietary treatments included 1) CON (basal diet) and 2) TRT (CON diet +1.5% yeast hydrolysate SCP-20). Testis weight of male mice fed TRT diets was higher than that of male mice fed CON diet (p<0.05). Also VSL was significantly (p<0.05) increased in male mice fed TRT diet compared to that in male mice fed CON diet. Male mice fed TRT diet showed significant (p<0.05) improvement in VAP (average-path velocity) and LIN (linearity) compared to male mice fed CON diet. Also, velocity of epididymal sperm of male mice fed TRT diets was higher than that of male mice fed CON diet (P<0.05). In conclusion, the results obtained from this trial suggests that the dietary yeast hydrolysate SCP-20 was an effective means of improving sperm velocity in male mice.

This study was conducted to develop a savory ingredient using rice material. We made hydrolysates with ratios of rice bran and rice protein of 4:0, 3:1, 2:2, and 1:3 (w/w) using commercial enzymes, and then investigated their quality properties. At a ratio of 3:1, nitrogen degradation ratio (NDR), savory taste, and overall acceptability were the highest compared to other ratios. Rice bran and rice protein with a ratio of 3:1 were hydrolyzed for 13 days, and characteristics of the hydrolysate were investigated after 3, 5, 7, 10, and 13 days. Total nitrogen, amino nitrogen, and NDR of the hydrolysate after 10 days were higher than those of other hydrolysates. SDS-PAGE showed that the molecular weight of the hydrolysate peptide became smaller as hydrolysis time increased. Glutamic acid content was highest among all amino acids in the hydrolysate for 13 days. Amino acids related to bitter taste decreased from 5 to 13 days, whereas amino acids related to sweet taste substantially increased over time. Sensory evaluation showed that the hydrolysate after 10 days was best. These results suggest that rice bran and rice protein at a mixing ratio of 3:1 and hydrolysis for 10 days were optimal hydrolysis condition for development of natural savory ingredients.

The oyster is called "milk of sea" which is abundant in taurine, glycogen, cellenium. It could be used in making natural source. Recently, consumers have more interest in natural source because of their diverse preference and its special taste. The goal of this study is to optimize maillard reaction condition for manufacturing natural seasoning using oyster and oyster cooking drip hydrolysate. The result was judged by browning degree and pyrazine, which is flavor components when food heating. Hydrolysate and sugar react according primarily to type of sugar - glucose, xylose and fructose. Xylose was selected as best sugar of browning degree. In the case of sugar contents, all conditions over 1% of sugar contents are almost same. Therefore, the lowest 1% of sugar was selected as appropriate condition. According to the reaction with different temperature, browning degree and pyrazine contents had been increased over $60^{\circ}C$, but the product at $120^{\circ}C$had off-flavored. So, $100^{\circ}C$ is the best condition for the browning reaction. And in accordance with different reaction time, after 6 hours, there was no change in pyrazine and browning reaction. Therefore, to manufacture natural seasoning source, it is optimal to react xylose for maillard reaction at $100^{\circ}C$ for 6 hr with hydrolysate of oyster and oyster cooking drip.

The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition effect of soybean protein isolate hydrolysate was studied using protease. Soybean protein isolate was hydrolysed by seven enzymes (Alcalase 2.4 L, Flavourzyme 500 MG, GC 106, Multifect Neutral, Neutrase 0.8 L, Papain 30,000 and Protamex), enzyme concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%), at various hydrolysis times (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hr) and suspension concentrations (1, 5, 7, 10 and 15%). Absorbance at 280 nm, brix and ACE inhibitory activity of soybean protein isolate hydrolysates were investigated. Absorbance at 280 nm and brix of Alcalase 2.4 L treatment were higher than other enzyme treatments. The optimum condition of hydrolysis was Alcalase 2.4 L, 1% enzyme concentration, 5% suspension concentration for 4 hr. $IC_{50}$ value of ACE inhibitory activity of soybean protein isolate hydrolysate was $79.94 {\mu}g/mL$. These results suggest that soybean isolate protein hydrolysate from Alcalase 2.4 L may be of benefit for developing antihypertensive therapeutics.

This study was carried out to investigate whether peptide produced from wheat protein by enzyme hydrolysis can be used as a natural antimicrobial agent. Antimicrobial peptide was obtained from wheat protein hydrolyzed by 7 of pretense. The produced antimicrobial peptide was purified through ultrafiltration, membrane filtration and HPLC and molecular weight and amino acid sequence of the purified antimicrobial peptide were determined. Among hydrolysate produced from wheat protein by 7 of protease, antimicrobial activity was observed for the peptide obtained from Asp. saito protease. The Asp. saito protease did produce antimicrobial hydrolysate showing the highest antimicrobial activity at reaction condition of 37$^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0, but not at reaction condition above 5$0^{\circ}C$. Wheat protein hydrolysate was fractionated by membrane filtration and showed antimicrobial activity between molecular weight 1,000~3,000. The antimicrobial activity fraction obtained by membrane filtration was separated through HPLC and showed antimicrobial activity in the peak of retention time 31.1~31.8 min. We could convince this hydrolysate as heat-stable peptide since antimicrobial activity was maintained after treated with heat for 15 min at 121$^{\circ}C$. Molecular weight of antimicrobial peptide identified by MALDI-mass was 1,633. Amino acid sequence of antimicrobial peptide was cysteine, glycine, prolin, prolin, prolin, valine, valine, alanine, alanine and arginine.

In order to improve the anaerobic digestion efficiency of the sewage sludge, the methane potential of the hydrolysate generated from the hydro-thermal reaction at 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, $220^{\circ}C$ was analyzed and the constitutional characteristics of the organic materials were estimated by dividing organic materials of hydro-thermal hydrolysate into easily biodegradable, decomposition resistant, and non-biodegradable organic materials applying the parallel first order kinetics model. The ultimate methane potential of sewage sludge hydro-thermal hydrolysate increased to 0.39, 0.39, 0.40, 0.44, 0.45, and $0.46Nm^3/kg-VS_{added}$ as hydro-thermal reaction temperature increased from 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, $220^{\circ}C$. It has been shown that the organic matter of sewage sludge is solubilized to increase the content of biodegradable organic material($VS_B$). The easily degradable organic matter($VS_e$) content was highest at hydro-thermal reaction temperature of 200 and $210^{\circ}C$, and optimum hydro-thermal reaction temperature for organic matter solubilization of sewage sludge was in the range of $200{\sim}210^{\circ}C$. In addition, the amount of biodegradable organic material($VS_B$) and easily biodegradable organic matter ($VS_e$) in the hydrolysate of sewage sludge was the highest at hydro-thermal reaction temperature of $200^{\circ}C$.
