This work was designed to determine the optimum extraction conditions for imporving the quality of Eucommia ulmoidesl leaf-tea. Soluble solid content was 27.7% in the tea extracted at 99.3$^{\circ}C$(extraction temperature) and 67.8 min(extraction time) which were maximum points by the ridge analysis. The extraction conditions for the maximum organoleptic scores were 72.9$^{\circ}C$ and 59.6 min in color, 80.$0^{\circ}C$ and 90.0 min in aroma, 77.8$^{\circ}C$ and 55.5 min in aftertaste, and 77.9$^{\circ}C$ and 53.1 min in overall palatability. The extraction conditions for the minimum organoleptic scores were 77.8$^{\circ}C$ and 52.7 min in astringent taste, and 75.1$^{\circ}C$ and 49.4 min in Chinese medicine taste. The optimum ranges of the conditions based on soluble solid content and overall palatability of the tea wre 75~83$^{\circ}C$ and 55~65 min. The soluble solid content and overall palatability predicted at ooptimum condition(78$^{\circ}C$ and 60 min) werw similar to experimental values.

This study was carried out to examinate the effect of aging period on chromatic, chemical and organoleptic characteristics, and to evaluate of optimum aging period for each grade in burley leaf tobacco. The leaf tobaccos were produced in 2000, and threshed, redried and packed in carton box under the current methods. Four grades of processed leaf(A3T, B1T, C1W and D3W) were stored during 24 months (May 10, 2001 to April 31, 2003) in warehouse of Chungju Leaf Tobacco Processing Factory. The leaf tobaccos were sampled at three month intervals for analysis of chromatic, chemical and organoleptic properties. pH values of four grades, and Yellow(b) of A3T and BIT were also significantly decreased during the aging. Filling values, tar, nicotine and CO contents of tobacco smoke, and puff number of cigarettes were not significantly changed during the aging. Positive correlation coefficients were significantly observed between irritation of the calculated attributes from contents of volatile oil components in leaf tobacco and that of the panel sensory attributes. The ratio of maximum change in irritation attribute was larger than that in taste attribute during aging. The calculated irritations of 18～24 months aging for A3T and B1T were significantly lower than zero-aging, while those of C1W and D3W were not significant among aging periods. The panel irritations of 12～15 months aging for four grades were low tendency. The results suggest that decrease of aging period for thin leaf from 21～24 to 12～15 months may be beneficial to save storage cost in burley tobacco.

This study was carried out to examinate the effect of aging period on chromatic, chemical and organoleptic characteristics, and to evaluate of optimum aging period for each grade in flue-cured leaf tobacco. The leaf tobaccos were produced in 2000, and threshed, redried and packed in carton box under the current methods. Four grades of processed leaf(A3O, B1O, C1L and D3L) were stored during 24 months(May 10, 2001 to April 31, 2003) in warehouse of Chungju Leaf Tobacco Processing Factory. The leaf tobaccos were sampled at three month intervals for analysis of chromatic, chemical and organoleptic properties. Yellow(b), pH values and total sugar contents of four grades were significantly decreased during the aging. Filling values, tar, nicotine and CO contents of tobacco smoke, and puff number of cigarettes were not significantly changed during the aging. Positive correlation coefficients were significantly observed between taste and irritation of the calculated attributes from contents of volatile oil components in leaf tobacco and those of the panel sensory attributes. The ratio of maximum change in taste attribute was larger than that in irritation attribute during aging. The optimum aging periods estimated by taste for A3O, B1O, C1L and D3L were 17.8, 14.9, 10.8, and 9.8 months, respectively. The thin leaf(Primings and Cutters) undergo satisfactory aging earlier as compared to bodied leaf(Leaf and Tips). The results suggest that decrease of aging period for thin leaf from 18～21 to 9～12 months may be beneficial to save storage cost in flue-cured tobacco.

Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to monitor extraction characteristics of electron donating ability and organoleptic properties for ethanol extracts from Chrysanthemum petals, thereby determining optimum extraction conditions. A central composite design was applied to investigate effects of solvent per sample $(X_1)$, ethanol concentration $(X_2)$ and extraction time $(X_3)\;at\;60^{\circ}C$ on dependent variables such as electron donating ability $(Y_1)$, organoleptic color $(Y_2)$ and organoleptic aroma $(Y_3)$ of the extracts. Second-order models were employed to generate 4-dimensional response surfaces for qualitative and quantitative aspects of ethanol extracts. Coefficients of determination $(R_2)$ of the models for dependent variables were ranged from 0.8180 to 0.9696. Optimum extraction conditions for each variable were 50 mL/g, 61% and 16 hrs in electron donating ability, 88 mL/g, 21% and 16 hrs in organoleptic color, 55 mL/g, 73% and 19 hrs in organoleptic aroma, respectively. The optimum condition ranges for maximized characteristics of ethanol extracts were $65{\sim}78\;mL/g,\;90{\sim}100%\;and\;15{\sim}25\;hrs$. Predicted values at the optimum conditions were in good agreement with experimental values.

Vacuum cooling were carried out for freshness keeping of shiitake mushroom. Shiitake mushroom was cooled within 30 minutes from $20.5^{\circ}C$ to $0.5^{\circ}C$ by vacuum cooling, and then temperature drop of $6.6^{\circ}C$ per weight loss of 1% was taken place during precooling. Weight loss, surface discoloration and softening were reduced by precooling. Judging from organoleptic properties such as cap opening, discoloration, texture and off-flavor, shelf-life of precooled mushroom was lengthed by 20% than that of non-treated mushrooms. Considering effect of packing material on freshness of shiitake mushroom after precooling, weight retention, hardness and organoleptic properties of mushroom packed with PVC wrap were superior to those packed in carton box.

The response surface methodology was used for monitoring the changes in organoleptic properties of chinese cabbage kimchi adding pinemushroom during storage at l0$\^{C}$. The sensory score of kimchi were high from 4th to 8th days and low at around 12th day. At the 1st day of storage, the more pinemushroom was added, the lower showed the score of sensory evaluation. But in case of the score for taste and flavor, the more pinemushroom and red pepper powder were added together, the higher it showed. At the 4th day, the score of color, flavor, taste and overall palatability increased. Especially, the score was the highest when kimchi was added with 5.0∼6.0% of pinemushroom and 3.0∼3.5% of red pepper powder. At the 8th day, the score of mouth-feel was high. The kimchi adding pinemushroom showed the highest scores of sensory evaluation during the storage period from 4th to 8th days at 10$\^{C}$.

The present investigation was carried out to study the affect of feeding urea ammoniated neem kernel meal on carcass characteristics and organoleptic properties of the meat in goats. Eight local weaned kids of 3-4 months age with mean body weight of $7.85{\pm}0.42kg$ were assigned to two groups of four each in a completely randomised design and were offered diets containing isonitrogenous concentrate mixtures containing either peanut meal or urea ammoniated neem (Azadirachta indica) seed kernel meal (UANSKM) along with ad libitium oat hay or green sorghum as roughage for 13 fortnights. The animals were slaughtered at the end of the experimental period and the carcass characteristics and organoleptic evaluation of the meat was carried out. The carcass characteristics in terms of dressing percentage, meat bone ratio, percent edible and inedible did not differ between the treatments. Similarly the organoleptic characteristics and cooking loss were comparable between the treatments implying that UANSKM can be substituted for peanut meal in goat diets to alleviate the shortage and high cost of peanut meal without affecting meat quality.
