Arabica coffee has been classified for trading according to the New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) green coffee classification. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the physiochemical and sensorial characteristics of coffees classified by NYBOT as NY2 (specialty coffee), NY3/4 and NY4/5 (commercial coffee). The density of green coffee was higher for the NY2 sample. The amount of total solids in brewed coffee increase as the green coffee grade decreased and the pH levels decreased as the coffee grade decreased. Descriptive analysis using a 15cm line scale was carried out by 12 trained panelists prepared by espresso coffee and consumer preference tests were carried out by 168 consumers. The NY2 sample had the highest fruity, acidity, sweetness and aftertaste characteristics. In addition, green, rio, sour and astringency characteristics increased as the coffee grade decreased. Acceptance of aroma, flavor, taste balance and overall were higher for the NY2 sample. In the consumer preference test, the NY2 and NY4/5 samples had a similar distribution, but consumers between the ages of 20 to 30 who like to drink brewed coffee more than instant coffee preferred the NY2 than sample over the NY3/4 sample. In conclusion, significant differences were observed among the three groups of green coffee classification in all physicochemical and sensory parameters.

This study was carried out in order to investigate effective aroma components of Korean traditional soy sauce. Volatile aroma compounds were extracted by solvent extraction, TMS esterification of methyl acetate extracts and SDE, and analyzed by GC/MSD. 140 voltile aroma compounds were detected by three different extraction methods. Most abundant volatile compounds were acids and phenols and identified aldehydes, hydrocarbons, ketones, furans, furanone, alcohols, esters, nitrogen compounds, sulfur compounds and thiazoles, too. In the analytical sensory evaluation of soy sauce aroma, there were significant differences between each soy sauce sample in all test item. To sum up, Sweet odor was high in Kyupjang. Nutty odor and traditional soy sauce odor were similarly high in Kyupjang and high concentration soy sauce. Kyupjang had high score in overall odor preference than Chungiangs. The result of multiple regression of soy sauce odor characteristics and gas chromatography pattern demonstrated that offensive and sour odor was affected by octadecanoic acid. Contributive compounds to sweet odor were 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid and 3,6-dioxa-2,7-disilacotane. Benzoic acid 4-methyl ethyl ester and nonacotane were identified as major compounds of nutty odor. Contribu live variables of traditional soy sauce odor were benzoic acid 4-methyl ethyl ester and 9,12-octadecadienoic acid. The main factors of odor preference were 3-methyl pentanoic acid, acetic acid, 2,6-dimethyl heptadecane and 3,6-dioxa-2,7-disilacotane.

The quantitative sensory profiles of rice wines made with nuruks using eight different cereal ingredients were developed using sensory descriptive analysis. Two appearances, eight aromas, eight flavors and tastes, and two mouthfeel related sensory attributes were evaluated by a panel of 10 judges. The sample made of black rice nuruk had the highest intensity in red color, while the other samples had similar ranges in yellow color. The mean sensory intensities of the samples prepared with black rice and glutinous rice nuruks were high in 'sweet', 'fruit taste', 'pungent', and 'sour', while those samples prepared using non-glutinous rice, buckwheat, hull-less barley, unpolished rice nuruks had overall high intensities in 'grain', 'fermented aroma', 'bitter', and 'astringent' attributes. Based on the principal component analysis of the descriptive data, samples were primarily separated along the first principal component, which accounted for 53% of the total variance between the rice wines with high intensities of 'red color', 'sweet', and 'fruit taste' versus 'bitter', 'astringent', and 'yellow color'.

The physico-chemical properties of hot-water extracts of dried and roasted Boxthorn(Lycii fructus) were investigated. The proximate composition of dried Boxthorn was 17.5% moisture, 5.4% ash, 14.7% lipid, 18.9% protein, 11.8% fiber and 31.7% carbohydrate. As the roasting temperature and time increased, water soluble solids, turbidity, titrable acidity and redness of the hot water extracts were increased, while the free sugar content was reduced. The linoleic acid of roasted Boxthorn decreased and palmitic acid increased at higher roasting temperature. The sensory properties of sweet odor, burnt odor, sour taste, burnt taste and tannic taste of the hot water extract were scored higher and sweet and roasted taste were lower as the roasting temperature and time increased.

This study was performed to test application possibility of electronic nose with 32 conducting polymer sensor arrays for aroma analysis of persimmon vinegar. The 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and $70^{\circ}Bx$ persimmon vinegar concentrates were prepared by vacuum concentration at $55^{\circ}C$. The recovery yield of water soluble solid to concentrates was 55.5% on $20^{\circ}Bx$ persimmon vinegar concentrate. As the concentration of persimmon vinegar concentrates increased, pH of concentrates increased and acidity as acetic acid decreased. From sensory evaluation for persimmon vinegar concentrates, as the concentration of persimmon vinegar concentrates increased, their cooking odor and umami taste increased, sour taste and acidic odor decreased, salty odor and astringency were not changed. Aroma analysis by electronic nose (AromaScan) showed no difference in normalized pattern and odor intensity among persimmon vinegar concentrates. All quality factors among concentrates also were less than 1.042. And so the electronic nose with conducting polymer sensor was not suitable for aroma analysis of persimmon vinegar concentrate.

The objective of this study was to investigate the composition of canned oyster Crassotrea gigas in white sauce (CO-WS). The proximate composition of CO-WS was 74.1% water, 10.4% crude protein, 4.9% crude lipid, and 3.1% ash. The energy converted based on these percentages was 112.2 kcal/100 g, while the salinity was 1.1 g/100 g. In a taste-intensity test using an electronic tongue, the CO-WS showed higher umami taste intensity than the control (canned oyster in commercial white sauce), whereas the intensities of the other tastes (salty, sour, bitter, and sweet) were lower. Because the odor intensity was low, CO-WS was considered to have a relatively weak odor and showed no difference in hardness compared to the control. Sensory evaluation of CO-WS by a panel yielded higher scores for appearance, taste, and texture, and a lower score for flavor compared to the control. The total amino acid content of CO-WS was 8.91 g/100 g, and its major amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and leucine. With respect to mineral content, CO-WS had higher calcium and lower zinc contents than the control. These results suggest that CO-WS has excellent nutritional value.

This study was conducted to investigate the correlation of the physicochemical quality index(pH, acidity, reducing sugar content and lactic acid bacterial count) and sensory index(sourness) of Kakdugi during the fermentation at 5$^{\circ}C$, 10$^{\circ}C$ and 20$^{\circ}C$ respectively. Also, the relations between physicochemical quality index and overall acceptability were carried out. The pH range, based on the middle sour intensity point of 4.5, was 5.75 at 5$^{\circ}C$ fermentation, whereas that was 4.2 at 10$^{\circ}C$ and 20$^{\circ}C$ fermentation. The pH showing the highest overall acceptability decreased along with increased fermentation temperature. The reduced sugar content decreased rapidly up to 0.9% acidity, but after that, decreased slowly from more than 0.9% acidity at all fermentation temperatures. With increased fermentation temperature, the reduced sugar content showing the highest overall acceptability also showed the decreasing tendency. Change patterns of lactic acid bacterial count and sourness didn't coincided at 5$^{\circ}C$ fermentation, whereas those did at 10$^{\circ}C$ and 20$^{\circ}C$ fermentation. The indexes showing high significant correlations with sourness of Kakdugi fermented at 5$^{\circ}C$ were not pH and lactic acid bacterial count but acidity and reducing sugar content(p<0.05). The sourness of Kakdugi fermented at 10$^{\circ}C$ and 20$^{\circ}C$ showed high significant correlations with all of the physicochemical index(p<0.05).

The aim of this study was to determine the optimal amount of paprika juice added to cashew dressing. This study presents fundamental data on the quality and sensory characteristics of cashew dressings added with paprika juice (addition of 20%, 40% yellow, red and green paprika juice instead of water). The pH of cashew dressing added with paprika juice was 4.61~4.80, whereas that of control was 4.35. The viscosity of cashew dressing added with paprika juice was 34,130.5~36,515.3 cp while that of control was 26,558.8 cp. L value of control (73.83) was higher than those of other groups (65.45~72.23), and a value of dressing added with red paprika juice (9.81~10.42) was higher than those of other groups. Preference of cashew dressings added with paprika juice and foods was evaluated. The sweet, sour, and savory tastes showed no significant differences between control and cashew dressings added with paprika juice. Preference of color of cashew dressing with green paprika juice was higher than those of other groups, and the preference of cashew dressing added with yellow paprika juice 20% (Y20) was higher than those of other groups. The Y20 sample received the highest score in sensory evaluation. In the sensory evaluation for food and dressing (Y20), chicken cutlets and fruit salad received higher scores than other foods. It is expected that cashew added with paprika juice will be utilized as a healthy dressing.
