The adsorptive removal properties of synthetic A4 zeolite were investigated against a total of 16 offensive odors consisting of reduced sulfur compounds (RSCs), nitrogenous compounds (NCs), volatile fatty acids (VFAs), and phenols/indoles (PnI). Removal of these odors was measured using a laboratory-scale impinger-based adsorption setup containing 25 g of the zeolite bed (flow rate of $100mL\;min^{-1}$). The high est and lowest breakthrough (%) values were shown for PnIs and RSCs, respectively, and the maximum and minimum adsorption capacity (${\mu}g\;g^{-1}$) of the zeolite was observed for the RSCs (range of 0.77-3.4) and PnIs (0.06-0.104), respectively. As a result of sorptive removal by zeolite, a reduction in odor strength, measured as odor intensity (OI), was recorded from the minimum of approximately 0.7 OI units (indole [from 2.4 to 1.6]), skatole [2.2 to 1.4], and p-cresol [5.1 to 4.4]) to the maximum of approximately 4 OI units (methanethiol [11.4 to 7.5], n-valeric acid [10.4 to 6.5], i-butyric acid [7.9 to 4.4], and propionic acid [7.2 to 3.7]). Likewise, when removal was examined in terms of odor activity value (OAV), the extent of reduction was significant (i.e., 1000-fold) in the increasing order of amy acetate, i-butyric acid, phenol, propionic acid, and ammonia.

강원도에서 생산된 옥수수를 사용하여 식초를 제조한 후 초산 발효 및 숙성에 의해 변화되는 주요 향기성분을 조사하였다. 옥수수 술에서 가장 높은 함량을 나타낸 휘발성 성분은 2-phenylethanol으로서 전체 휘발성 성분의 약 27%를 차지하였으나, 초산 발효 후 15% 수준으로 감소하였다. 주성분 분석 결과 옥수수 술과 옥수수 식초는 초산 발효 및 숙성 기간에 따라 향기 성분의 특성이 패턴의 차이가 확인되었다. 초산 발효 이후에 전체 휘발성 물질 중에서 초산이 약 50%를 차지하여 가장 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 그 다음으로 2-phenylethanol, diethyl succinate 순서로 높았다. 장미향을 나타내는 ethyl phenylacetate와 과일향을 나타내는 diethyl succinate 등 에스테르 화합물의 향기 활성가가 높게 나타나 이들 성분이 초산 발효 후 식초의 향기 특성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되었다.

This study was conducted to determine the optimum amount of dried Alaska Pollock Therage chalcogramma roe (D-AP-R) for preparing garlic gochujang with D-AP-R. We investigated the optimal preparation of garlic gochujang with D-AP-R by proximate composition, taste, color, and odor measurements and sensory evaluation. The moisture, ash contents and water activity of garlic gochujang with D-AP-R decreased as the amount of D-AP-R increased, whereas other components, such as crude protein and lipid contents, taste value, yellowness of Hunter color, and odor intensity, increased as D-AP-R increased. According to the sensory evaluation results, garlic gochujangs with 10 and 15% D-AP-R were superior to garlic gochujang without D-AP-R (control) in terms of taste and overall acceptance but inferior in terms of fish odor. However, there was no difference in the sensual color of garlic gochujang with versus without D-AP-R. These results suggest that high quality garlic gochujang can be prepared by adding 10% D-AP-R. The total amino acid content of garlic gochujang with 10% D-AP-R was 11.81 mg/100 g, which was higher than that of the control (9.05 mg/100 g). The cholesterol content of garlic gochujang with 10% D-AP-R was 16.1 mg/100 g, which is below the acceptable daily cholesterol intake (300 mg/day).

Trimethylamine (TMA) is a well-known off-odor compound in fish and fishery products and is a metabolic product of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) generated by the enzymatic action of microorganisms. The off-odor is a factor that can debase the value of fish and fishery products. The present study aimed to remove TMA using lactic acid bacteria (LAB). A total of fifteen isolates exhibiting the TMA reduction efficacy were isolated from Korean traditional fermented foods. Among these isolates, five LAB isolates (Lactobacillus plantarum SKD 1 and 4; Lactobacillus paraplantarum SKD 15; Pediococcus stilesii SKD 11; P. pentosaceus SKD 14) were selected based on their high TMA reduction efficacy. In situ reduction of TMA efficacy by the LAB cell-free supernatant was evaluated using a spoiled fish sample. The results showed effective TMA reduction by our selected strains: SKD1 (45%), SKD4 (62%), SKD11 (60%), SKD14 (59%), and SKD15 (52%), respectively. This is the first study on TMA reduction by the metabolic activity of LAB and in situ reduction of TMA using cell-free supernatant of LAB. The present finding suggests an economically useful and ecofriendly approach to the reduction of TMA.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of fish paste added with different amounts (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%) of spirulina powder. Specifically, moisture content, pH value, color value, texture value, total polyphenol content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and sensory evaluation were measured in the samples. The moisture content of the fish paste added (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%) ranged from 68.60% to 69.03%, and the increased amounts of spirulina powder in the fish paste tended to decrease the pH value. For the Hunter color values, the L, a values of surface and inside of the fish paste decreased with increased amounts of spirulina powder. The b values of the fish paste increased with increased amounts of spirulina powder. In the texture meter test, the hardness, gumminess, and adhesiveness decreased with the increased amounts of spirulina powder, and chewiness of group adding spirulina powder was measured lower than control. Springiness of the fish paste did not appear statistically significantly different among the samples according to the increased amounts of spirulina powder. Total polyphenol content of fish paste added with spirulina powder increased with increased amounts of spirulina powder, and DPPH radical scavenging was heightened according to increased amounts of spirulina powder. In sensory evaluation, the addition of 1% spirulina powder had the best score in odor, texture, taste, and overall preference. These results suggest that spirulina powder can be applied to fish paste to increase quality, preference, and functionality.

This study was to investigate the physiological activity of cookies with Sanguisorba officinalis L. powder. Our results showed that the pH of the cookies ranged from 6.34 to 6.29, and the density ranged from 4.12 to 4.40. Increasing the amount of Sanguisorba officinalis L. powder in the cookies decreased the spread factor of the cookies and tended to decrease lightness (L) in the Hunter color value with yellowness (b) and redness (a) increased. For the textural characteristics, the addition of Sanguisorba officinalis L. powder increased hardness. The sensory evaluation showed that the cookies with Sanguisorba officinalis L. powder were preferred more than those without in color, odor, texture, taste and overall preference. Based on the results above, the cookies that contained 3% of Sanguisorba officinalis L. powder presented the best quality.

The high prevalence of pediculosis capitis, commonly known as head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) infestation, has led to the preparation of a community-based pediculicidal ointment, which is made of common household items and the extract of Tinospora crispa stem. The present study aimed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and physicochemical characteristics of the T. crispa pediculicidal ointment. The physicochemical properties of the ointment were characterized, and safety was determined using acute dermal irritation test (OECD 404), while the efficacy was assessed using an in vitro pediculicidal assay. Furthermore, the chemical compounds present in T. crispa were identified using liquid-liquid extraction followed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadruple time-of-flight mass spectrometric (UPLC-qTOF/MS) analysis. The community-based ointment formulation was light yellow in color, homogeneous, smooth, with distinct aromatic odor and pH of $6.92{\pm}0.09$. It has spreadability value of $15.04{\pm}0.98g{\cdot}cm/sec$ and has thixotropic behavior. It was also found to be non-irritant, with a primary irritation index value of 0.15. Moreover, it was comparable to the pediculicidal activity of the positive control $Kwell^{(R)}$, a commercially available 1% permethrin shampoo (P>0.05), and was significantly different to the activity of the negative control ointment, a mixture of palm oil and candle wax (P<0.05). These findings suggested that the community-based T. crispa pediculicidal ointment is safe and effective, having acceptable physicochemical characteristics. Its activity can be attributed to the presence of compounds moupinamide and physalin I.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of semi-dried small squid Idiosepius paradoxus treated with grapefruit Citrus paradisi seed extract (GSE) during refrigerated storage for 6 months. The moisture content and water activity decreased significantly in both control and GSE-treated groups with increasing storage time, but there was no significant difference between groups. During storage, the degree of water activity reduction was lower in the GSE-treated group than in the control. The pH change was similar in both groups during storage. The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value of the GSE-treated group was lower than that of the control until 4 months of storage, and was subsequently higher than in the control group. The Hunter color L value did not differ significantly during storage between groups, whereas the a and b values decreased significantly (P<0.05) in both groups with increasing storage time. The hardness value of the semi-dried small squid increased with storage time, but there was no statistical difference between GSE treatment and control. There were more viable cells in the control group than the GSE-treated group after 5 months of storage. According to the sensory evaluation, neither the taste, color, odor, nor texture differed statistically during storage between groups, while overall acceptability was significantly lower in the GSE-treated group than the control after 6 months of storage.

To investigate the aroma and quality characteristics of wine bestowed by the degree of ripening of Cheongporang grapes, the general quality composition, color, organic acid, physiological activity, aroma component and sensory evaluation were analyzed. The general characteristics of the wine assessed were pH 3.34~3.50, total acidity 0.46~0.67%, color intensity 0.074~0.116, lightness 98.99~99.74, redness -0.39~0.01, and yellowness was 1.52~3.10. Malolactic fermentation was not relative to the contents of malic acid and lactic acid. The total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity were lowest in C3 wines made with ripe grapes and highest in C4 wines made with mixed grapes. Aroma analysis identified 6 alcohols, 15 esters and 5 miscellaneous compounds. Compounds with higher odor activity value (OAV) were 3-methyl-1-butanol, ethyl butanoate, isopentyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl octanoate, ethyl decanoate and octanoic acid. The C4 wine, a mixture of grapes with different degrees of ripening, had the highest ester content and ratio. The lowest values were found in the C3 wine made with ripe grapes. Results of the sensory evaluation related the C4 wine, containing a large amount of ester compounds having high OAV values as the aroma component, as the best and most preferred wine.
