Eleven strains had been previously isolated from kimchi and identified in our laboratory. The ability of each strain in aroma production was investigated by sensory evaluation. Among them Saccharomyc s sp. YK-17, Saccharomyces sp. YK-18, Saccharomyces sp. YH-3 and Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 produced fruity flavour. Especially, Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 produced apple and pineapple-like flavours. Pichia media YK-11, Saccharomyces sp. YK-20 and Pichia chambardii YH-4 produced wine-like flavour. Debaryomyces sp. YK-6, Debarymyces coudertii YK-10, Saccharomyces sp. YK-12 and Pichia haplophilia YH-5 produced alcoholic flavours. Using the good flavour producing strains as starters, various groups of kimchi were fermented, and the sensory characteristics of each group such as odor, taste and total acceptability were evaluated. The acidic odor, moldy odor and taste were reduced by adding starter, while the fresh sourness odor and taste similar to fruity fiavour were increased by starter. Comparing with the control group, these odor, taste and total acceptability were increased in the starter-added groups, such as Pichia edia YK-11, Saccharomyces sp. YK-17, and Saccharomyces,fermentati YK- 19. Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 added kimchi group was higher siginificantly (P<0.05) than the others at the total acceptability. Volatile compounds of the culture broth of Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 were analysed by gas chromatography, and 6 species of esters and 4 species of alcohols were identified. Among them, the ester substances which broth largely responsible for the apple-like flavour in the sensory evaluation, were found to be ethyl 2-methyl butvrate, ethyl pentanoate and ethyl acetate.

This study investigated the quality variation characteristics of Ssamjang containing Cheongkukjang, in order to improve the degree of preference of Cheongkukjang. The amount of Cheongkukjang was set at 1% based on sensory evaluation. Ssamjang containing Cheongkukjang was stored at $37^{\circ}C$ for 13 weeks, after which quality variation characteristics were weekly. During storage for 13 weeks, physicochemical quality characteristics, moisture content, and pH of Ssamjang containing Cheongkukjang slightly decreased, whereas salt content did not change. Amino nitrogen content slightly increased by 1 week but decreased by 3 weeks and then increased by 5 weeks. For microbiology quality characteristics, viable cell counts and total cell counts of B. cereus were unchanged. For sensory quality characteristics, shape quality was poor after 13 weeks while mold, drying phenomenon, and swelling phenomenon were not observed. Therefore, physicochemical quality and microbiology quality of Ssamjang containing Cheongkukjang were unchanged during storage for 13 weeks, and the storage limit was determined to be 12 weeks according to sensory quality evaluation.

To develop a new traditional rice wine by using Gardenia jasminoides, various fermentation methods such as without cooking, with cooking and with starter seed methods were studied. The condition of alcohol fermentation was investigated by addition of 1% Gardenia jasminoides into mash. Among the fermented methods, the fermentation with starter seed was the best as the alcohol was 19%. The acceptability of the Gardenia jasminoides rice wine with different methods were compared. The starter seed method which was prepared by adding 1% Gardenia jasminoides into mash showed the best acceptability in the sensory evaluation test and color test.

Various salt concentrations (1.0%, 1.3%, 1.6%, 1.9%, and 2.1% labeled as sample A, B, C, D, and E, respectively) were investigated for microbial diversity, identification of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) in salted kimchi cabbage, prepared under laboratory conditions. These samples were stored at 4°C for 5 weeks in proper aluminum-metalized pouch packaging with calcium hydroxide gas absorber. A culture-independent method known as polymerase chain reaction - denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis was carried out to identify LAB distributions among various salt concentration samples that had identified 2 Weissella (W. confusa and W. soli), 1 Lactobacillus (Lb. sakei), and 3 Leuconostoc (Lc. mesenteroides, Lc. lactis, and Lc. gelidum) in the overall kimchi samples. The pH, titratable acidity, viable cell counts, and coliform counts were not affected by salt variations. In order to assess sensory acceptance, the conducted sensory evaluation using a 9-point hedonic scale had revealed that samples with 1.3% salt concentration (lower than the manufacturer's regular salt concentration) was more preferred, indicating that the use of 1.3% salt concentration was acceptable in normal kimchi fermentation for its quality and safety. Despite similarities in pH, titratable acidity, viable cell counts, coliform counts, and LAB distributions among the various salt concentrations of kimchi samples, the sample with 1.3% salt concentration was shown to be the most preferred, indicating that this salt concentration was suitable in kimchi production in order to reduce salt intake through kimchi consumptions.

We Isolated strains of Micrococcus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Leuconostoc sp. which have protease activity in the Changran-Jeotgal. These microbes were added in the Changran-Jeotgal for the starters during fermentation to short fermentation period to check PH, VBN, $NH_2-N,$ free amino acids, and sensory evaluation. Microbiological changes were also examined for microorganism-added Changran-Jeotgal and the control. Viable cell counts in the microorganism-added Changran-Jeotgal increased from $7.1\times10^5\;CFU/g\;to\;7.5\times10^8\;CFU/g$ on 15th day, The cell counts in the control increased from $4.1\times10^5\;CFU/g\;to\;8.1\times10^8\;CFU/g$ on 30th day. VBN also increased in both. Increasing rates of $NH_2-N$ and free amino acids in the microorganism-added Changran-Jeotgal were faster than those in the control. Sensory evaluation showed that the microorganism-added Changran-Jeotgal was most favorable on 20th day. These results showed that fermentation period was shortened about 10 days in comparison with the control.

Physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory properties of barleys irradiated by gamma ray at 1.2kGy, 10.1kGy, or 30.5kGy were investigated every 40 days during the storage at 25℃ and 50% relative humidity. Moisture content of the irradiated barleys decreased but crude lipid content increased during the storage. TBA values increased in proportion to the irradiation dose and to the storage period. In Hunter's color, L, a, and b values of 30.5kGy dose irradiated barleys were higher than those of the non irradiated barleys right after irradiation and this trend continued during the storage. Numbers of mesophilic and psychrophilic bacteria in the non irradiated barleys and 1.2kGy dose irradiated barleys were higher than those in the barleys irradiated at 10.1kGy and 30.5kGy during the storage. Numbers of yeasts and molds in the irradiated and non irradiated barleys were low and they did not greatly increase during the storage. In sensory evaluation, acidic odor of the barleys was strong at the 10.1kGy and 30.5 kGy dose irradiation but barley odor and humid odor were not significantly different among the groups depending upon the radiation dose and storage period.

Andong Soju is a Korean traditional distilled liquor brewed with Nuruk which is cultured with wild microorganisms. To provide useful information for scientific production and systematic quality control of traditional distilled liquor, the effects of mixed culture of the alcoholic yeasts and saccharifying molds isolated from the Nuruk, and mashes on the flavor and sensory characteristics were investigated. Distillate from mashes cocultured with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Hansenula anomala using Mucor Nuruk was compared with distillate from mashes brewed with Andong Nuruk and with distillate from plant fermented mashes to analyze their flavor characteristics. The volatile flavor compounds in distillates were analyzed by GC and GC-MS using direct injection, solvent extraction, and purge & trap methods. Alcohols such as 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 1-propanol, and 2-phenyl ethanol; aldehydes such as acetaldehyde and 2-furancar-boxaldehyde; esters such as ethyl ester of acetic acid, hexanoic acid, octanoic acid, decanoic acid; alkanes, alkenes, ketone, sulfur, and pyrone compounds were detected. Alcohols were chief components of flavor compounds. No significant difference in overall acceptability test was shown among three experimental groups(p<0.05), but Nuruk-like aroma, Kaoliangchiew-like aroma, sweet taste, and well rounded mouthfeel showed significant differences among them(p<0.05).

To investigate the effect of the predominant microorganisms in kimchi on quality, Leuconostoc mesenteroides ATCC 8293 was used as starter culture during kimchi fermentation. A higher number of lactic acid bacteria and lower initial pH were observed in starter kimchi than in non-starter kimchi in the early stage of fermentation. The concentrations of the main metabolite, lactic acid, were 69.88 mM and 83.85 mM for the non-starter and starter fermented kimchi, respectively. The free sugar concentrations of starter kimchi decreased earlier than those of non-starter kimchi, and the levels of free sugars in both kimchi samples decreased during fermentation. At the end of fermentation, non-starter kimchi had a softer texture than starter kimchi, suggesting that L. mesenteroides is useful in extending shelf life. Sensory evaluation showed that starter kimchi had higher sourness and lower bitterness and astringency values, resulting in high sensory quality. These results suggest that the L. mesenteroides ATCC 8293 strain could be a potential starter culture in kimchi.
