Effects of various sub-ingredients (hot pepper, garlic, ginger, green onion, leek, salted and fermented anchovy juice, and sugar) on the sensory quality of Korean cabbage kimchi were investigated. Sixteen sensory attributes were selected and their intensities evaluated by 20 panelists. The kimchi had an unbarmonized taste and unpleasant flavor when fermented with individual sub-ingredients, but had a well harmonized taste when fermented with all sub-ingredients. Hot pepper, ginger and garlic contributed to reduction of the unpleasatnt taste and moldy odor. The strong garlic flavor was reduced by adding green onion and leek. Salted and fermented anchovy juice gave a palatable taste, and the overall taste was improved by adding sugar. All sub-ingredients except sugar reduced the sour tasts.

This study attempted to present the ways of improving relationship marketing activities of tourist hotels. The field survey was carried out at six deluxe hotels in Seoul to find out their relationship marketing activities and analyze the problems of the activities. The problems were analyzed as follow; 1) lack of adequate understanding of the importance of relationship marketing, 2) poor contents of customer file information, 3) insufficient service encounter management, 4) negative inducement of guests' complaints, 5) insufficient survey of guests' satisfaction, 6) insufficient relationship maintenance programs and regaining program of lost guests. This study relationship marketing activities should be improved with customer information file establishment, service encounter mangement, and communication enforcement as follow; 1. Customer Information File Establishment As relationship marketing Is marketing for individual, it needs customer file information. The guest information files should be made in detail in all the market segments. Hotels have to make use of the information strategically for establishing relationship with their guests. 2. Service Encounter Mnagement Because the guest-oriented mind and professionalism of hotel staff are prerequisite for relationship continuity, hotel should make efforts to make its staff keep the mind and cultivate expert service technique of the staff. 3. Communication Enforcement Communication enforcement consists of communication activities and communication programs which are focused on contact intensity and two-way communication.

Yackwa is a Korean traditional fried cake made by went flour, sesame oil and honey. This study was investigated to the Rice-Yackwa for the purpose of the improvement of Yackwa's quality and rice consumption by sensory evaluation and instrumental measurement. It was resulted that taste and flavor of Rice-Yackwas were better than those of Wheat-Yackwa by sensory evaluation. We tested whether the mesh of the rice (80,100,120) and swelling agents (baking power, soju : Korean alcholic beverage) affected the Rice-Yackwa's swelling or not. In result, not by soju but by baking powder Rice-Yackwas were swelled. But Rice-Yackwa was so hard, that the Yackwas were made by the two different compositions of mixed flour (rice : wheat ; 75:25, 50:50) exibited softer than those made by rice. The hardness of 25 g% mixed flour Yackwa was improved. And we examined the softening effect on rice and mixed flour Yackwa by the increasing storage periods (1, 2, 3, 5 days). Rice-Yackwa's hardness was changed more greatly than Wheat-Yackwa's by storage periods. In addition to we inspected the effluence of sesame oil in the pross of frying. Sesame oil (40%) was drown out the Rice-Yackwa.

The effects of xylitol and/or erythritol as the alternative ingredients to sugar on the quality characteristics of Yuza tea were studied. The relative sweetness of xylitol and erythritol to a 10％ sucrose solution were 1.10 and 0.71 respectively and there were no change after the addition of the acid and flavoring agent. The sensory characteristics of Yuza tea with xylitol were quite similar in many attributes to Yuza tea with sugar, while Yuza tea with erythritol had many undesirable attributes. Yuza tea with a mixture of xylitol and erythritol(1:1) was less sweet and less acceptable than Yuza tea with sugar. The consumer acceptance test showed that the overall acceptability of Yuza tea made with xylitol was similar to the Yuza tea with sugar. Adding sucralose to the Yuza tea with a mixture of xylitol and erythritol improved the sweetness and overall acceptability in the consumer acceptance test. The pH value of the erythritol Yuza tea was 3.16 and showed a significantly lower value than the 3.39 of sugar and xylitol. The refractive index of the sugar Yuza tea was the highest at 21.03$^{\circ}$Bx. The vitamin C content of Yuzachung with sugar was 34.5mg/100g and the dietary fiber content was 2,80g/100g. Xylitol Yuzachung showed the highest a and b values, but when it was diluted with water to make Yuza tea, the intensity of the color was not significantly different from the Yuza tea with sugar.

Korean traditional meat patties (Tteokgalbi) were prepared by replacing part of the lean meat content with either pork backfat or canola oil and the effect of substitution on sensory quality of the meat patties was investigated. Compared to the control patties, pork-loin Tteokgalbi with 10% pork backfat or 10% canola oil had significantly higher overall acceptability and higher perceived intensity of meat flavor, sweetness, umami, and oiliness. The pork-loin patties containing 10% fat also had lower perceived firmness, toughness, and chalkiness of than the control Tteokgalbi. The chicken breast Tteokgalbi with 10% canola oil had the lowest perceived firmness and chalkiness (control > pork backfat > canola oil). No significant difference was noted in the overall acceptability of chicken breast patties with 10% pork backfat and those with 10% canola oil. These results indicate that substituting 10% of lean meat of Tteokgalbi with fat improved the sensory acceptability of the product for Korean customers regardless of the lean meat and/or fat source used in the patties. Lean meat patties formulated with a limited amount of vegetable oil such as canola oil can be a healthy option for Korean consumers by providing desirable fatty acid profiles without sacrificing sensory quality of the product.

The objective of this study was to investigate the color development and shelf-life effect of low-fat sausages (LFS) during refrigerated storage according to the additions of sodium lactate (SL), chitosan, and lac pigment. The LFS samples had $73{\sim}76%$ moisture, $3{\sim}4%$ fat, and $13{\sim}16%$ protein with a pH range of 6.4-6.6. The addition of chitosan ($MW\;=\;30{\sim}40\;kDa$) to LFS increased most textural properties. Hunter a (redness) values were increased by the addition of 0.05% lac pigment. The microbial growth of Listeria monocytogenes increased with increasing storage time. The addition of 2% SL and 0.3% chitosan with MW higher than $30{\sim}40\;kDa$ effectively inhibited the growth of L. monocytogenes. The microbial growth of L. monocytogenes was further reduced with increasing chitosan MW. These results indicated that the combination of SL with chitosans (MW > 30 kDa, 0.3%) and lac pigment (0.05%) improved shelf-life and color development in LFS during refrigerated storage.

This study was performed to evaluate the antioxidant activities as well as quality and sensory characteristics of Rubus coreanus wine sauce prepared with different amounts of Rehmannia Radix Preparata concentrate (RPC, 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 %). Moisture content, salinity and acidity of control were 83.84%, 0.57% and 0.10%, respectively. Sugar content of control was 15.6 $^{\circ}Brix$. Acidities, and reducing sugar contents of sauces increased according to the added amount of RPC, whereas pH and color values of lightness, redness and yellowness in the Hunter color system of sauces decreased. Viscosity of sauces added with RPC significantly increased, compared to that of control. Total phenol contents of sauces increased according to RPC amount. Antioxidant activities such as DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities improved according to the amount of RPC, due to the increased amount of total phenol contents. Sensory results showed that the overall-preference scores were highest in sauces containing 0.1% RPC. Based on these results, it was suggested that 1.0% RPC addition to sauce is the most suitable to improve quality.

6-[(N-3,4-Dibromophenyl)amino]-7-chloro-5,8-quinolinedione(FCK13) was tested for antifungal activities. The MIC values were determined by the two-fold dilution method. The therapeutic potential of RCK13 had been assessed in comparison with ketoconazole and fluconazole against systemic infections with candida albicans in normal mice. RCK13 had ED50,0.80$\pm$0.21 mg/kg but ketoconazole had ED50, 8.00$\pm$0.73 mg/kg respectively. And administered RCK13 at the ED50 for 14 days improved survival rates as well as ketoconazole. Acute oral toxicity studies of RCK13 were carried out in ICR mice of both sexes. These acute oral toxicities of RCK13 were low and LD50 values were over 2,850 mg/kg in ICR mice. The genotoxicities of RCK13 had been evaluated. RCK13 was negative in Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium and chromosomal aberration test in CHL cells. The clastogenicity was tested on the RCK13 with in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. RCK13 did not show any clastogenic effect in mouse peripheral blood and was negative in mouse micronucleus assay. These results indicate that RCK13 has no genotoxic potential under these experimental conditions.

A postcolumn derivatization method was tried for the simultaneous determination of four major aflatoxins ($B_1,\;B_2,\;G_1,\;and\;G_2$) by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. As compared with a previous precolumn derivatization method, it was found that the postcolumn derivatization combined with an electrochemical cell (Kobra cell) was less time-consuming, safer, improved the sensitivity and selectivity, and provided good recoveries for aflatoxin $B_1$ (88.9%) and $G_1$ (100.5%). This method showed linearity from 10~100 ppb for aflatoxin $B_1\;and\;G_1$, and from 3~30 ppb for aflatoxin $B_2\;and\;G_2$. However, aflatoxin Bz and Gz were not detected satisfactorily although they showed good resolution.

In the present study, an attempt was made to investigate the oxidative stability of the various sesasme blended oils. Sesame blended oils were perpared by mixing sesame oil with various vegetalbe oils (soybean oil, corn oil, ricebran oil, rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil, and perilla oil) in a ratio of 3:7 (w/w). Fatty acid composition and some of physico-chemical characteristics of the sesame blended oils and vegetable oils including sesame oil were determined before the oxidation experiments. The fatty acid compositions and the physico-chemical characteristics of the vegetable oils changed by blending the oils with sesame oil and the extent of change varied with the type of oil. Particularly, the iodine value of the vegetable oils decreased significantly by sesame oil blending. The sesame blended oils and the vegetable oils including sesame oil were oxidized at $45^{\circ}C$ for 25 days in a dark place, and at $35^{\circ}C$ for 12 days under the irradiation of incandescent electric lamp (40 W). During the oxidation, some physico-chemical characteristics of the oils were determined to evaluate the oxidative stability. Based on the changes of peroxide values, the oxidative stability of the vegetable oils was improved by sesame oil blending.
