The quality and sensory characteristics of kimchi added various levels of rosemary leaf during fermentation at 15$^{\circ}C$ were evaluated. Rosemary leaf amounts were added 0.5g(R0.5%), 1g(R1%), 1.5g(R1.5%) per brined chinese cabbage 100g. The pHs and reducing sugar contents of all experimental groups decreased with increasing the fermentation time, whereas levels of titratible acidity increased. The pHs and reducing sugar contents of experimental groups added rosemary leaf showed higher than control, but titratible acidity of these groups showed lower. Also, the period reached the maximum levels of the log number of lactic acid bacteria counts(cfu/ml) and total viable bacteria counts(cfu/ml) of experimental groups added rosemary leaf were more delayed than control. These results showed that the fermentation of experimental groups added various levels of rosemary leaf were slower than that of control. On the 5th day of fermentation which had most delicious kimchi flavor, the sensory evaluation analyzed by ANOVA followed Duncan's multiple range test showed that sour smell of experimental groups added rosemary leaf was significantly lower, but green flavor and green smell of these groups were significantly higher than control(p<0.05). The most preference among experimental groups was R0.5% and next was control, R1.5%, R1%.

A study was conducted to examine the physical and chemical changes of wines fermented from three different varieties by three different methods. The products were evaluated by twenty subjects on color, aroma, and taste. The results were as follows; 1) The moisture contents of those varieties were ranged from 90. 70 to 90.82% The Brix sugar and sugar contents were in order of Muscat Bailey A>Alden>Cambell Early. The titratable acidity was higher in Muscat Bailey A and Alden than in Cambell Early while PH of Cambell Early was higher than those of the two others. 2) The specific gravities of the products were slightly decreased as the fermentation progressed. 3) The yeast-fermentation showed the higher degree of alcoholic contents compared to the natural fermentations. of the natural fermentations, the washed-natural fermentation resulted in the lower alcoholic contents than unwashed one. 4) The PH's were also higher in the yeast-fermentation products than in the natural fermentation groups. The difference, however, was smaller as the fermentation progressed further. 5) The total ester coutents of the yeast fermentation group were slightly higher at the beginning of the fermentation than those of the natural fermentation products and the contents were increased during the fermentation in overall. 6) Twenty panel mentors judged the ripe wine products and the order of preference was Alden>Muscat Baliey A>Cabell Early. They preferred the yeast-fermentation wine to the natural fermentation products.

In this study, we have developed taste and other functional enhancements of yam chips, from tasteless and flavorless yam slices, through the process of soaking freeze-dried yam in different commercially available juices, including apple, omija (fruit of Maximowiczia typica), grape, wild grape, orange, tomato, red ginseng, and black garlic juice. The analyses of color (brightness, redness and yellowness), pH, brix, acidity, total polyphenol, total flavonoids, total sugar and reducing sugar, DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity, reducing power and nitrite scavenging activity, of the different yam chips showed that the freeze-dried yam slices absorb various components of fruit juices, such as flavonoids, sugars, organic acids and flavors, during the soaking process. These changes resulted in increased taste (both sweet and sour tastes), flavor and antioxidant activity in the yam chips. The soaking time for yam slices in juice is considered to be a crucial factor for the taste and bioactivity of yam chips. In the case of grape juice-yam chips, which had the highest preference among the 8 different chips, the optimum soaking time was noted as 120 seconds. The optimization of the soaking process is necessary for various juices. These results suggest that taste, and other functional enhancements, in yam chips can be developed by juice-soaking and freeze-drying methods.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of barley cultivars (Saessalbori, Saechalssalbori and Huinchalssalbori) and different milling recovery (95%, 85% and 75%) on quality characteristics of barley Makgeolli. The content of moisture, ash, crude protein, and crude fat in barley seeds were reduced with decreasing milling recovery. The qualities of barley Makgeolli were also significantly affected by the milling recovery. Decreasing milling recovery of all cultivars resulted to increase in total sugar content and reducing sugar content but decrease in pH while alcohol content and total acidity were not significantly affected. Moreover, the lightness and yellowness of barley Makgeolli increased by milling while its redness decreased. The sensory evaluation showed that the consumer preference for barley Makgeolli increased at the lowest milling recovery (75%). The results of this study suggest that the milling recovery and cultivar of barley were important factors to improve the taste and color of barley Makgeolli.

We investigated the physicochemical quality characteristics of apple juice upon sterilization using hot water, and under various storage conditions. None of sugar content, acidity, or pH differed significantly among various sterilization conditions but chromaticity was considerably reduced in sterilized juice compared with control material. The chromaticity of non-sterilized juice decreased significantly after sterilization compared with material supplemented with vitamin C (0.1%, w/v). Fungi, yeast, and aerobic bacteria were detected in juice sterilized at $65^{\circ}C$ for 10 or 20 min, but no microorganisms were observed in juice sterilized by other procedures. Vitamin C content affected sterilization temperature to a greater extent than sterilization time. When juice was stored at $4^{\circ}C$ or $37^{\circ}C$ for 3 weeks after application of different sterilization conditions, almost no change in acidity, sugar content, or pH was observed, regardless of sterilization mode or storage period. However, chromaticity decreased with longer storage. Vitamin C levels were reduced by higher sterilization temperatures. However, longer storage periods had the greatest effect on reduction of vitamin C levels, which tended toward lower values regardless of differences in sterilization and storage conditions. In sensory evaluation tests, all of taste, color, and overall preference were highest for juice sterilized at $75^{\circ}C$ for 20 min. The ASC value was low at a storage temperature of $4^{\circ}C$ and at high sterilization temperatures, and a long storage period was associated with a greater ASC value. Thus, the quality of apple juice was excellent when juice was hot water-sterilized, with additional vitamin C, at $75^{\circ}C$ for 20 min, followed by storage at $4^{\circ}C$.

This study was carried out to investigate the physicochemical characteristics, intake rate, and sensory properties of kimchi provided to elementary school foodservice in Seongnam. Average amount of kimchi intake at the elementary school foodservice for lower grade(1~3) students and higher grade(4~6) students was 7.15 g(23.83%) and 11.15 g(37.17%) respectively. The physicochemical properties of kimchi provided to the school foodservice in Seongnam were different between head cabbage kimchi(Pogi kimchi, H product) and head cabbage kimchi for children(C product). The head cabbage kimchi showed the pH 4.31~4.65(average pH 4.45), 6.86~8.38 $^{\circ}Brix$(average sugar content 7.74 $^{\circ}Brix$), and salinity 1.36~2.20%(average 1.73%) whereas the head cabbage kimchi for children indicated the pH 4.23~4.45(average pH 4.32), 7.68~8.48 $^{\circ}Brix$(average sugar content 8.18 $^{\circ}Brix$), and salinity 1.38~1.80%(average 1.65%). The result of the sensory evaluation of head cabbage kimchi and head cabbage kimchi for children indicated that there was significant difference by grades and gender. Higher graders tended to prefer less sweet, less sour and salty kimchi, and girls preferred sweet and sour kimchi more than boys. Therefore, it is required to develop kimchi for children considering sensory characteristics by grades and gender.

As a means to increase the production and consumption of the brown colored rice with high content of GABA ($\gamma$-aminobutyric acid), this study was conducted to develop brown colored rice tea. After roasting at various temperatures and times, color values and GABA content of the brown colored rice were analyzed. Physicochemical properties such as browning, turbidity, reducing sugar, soluble solid, total polyphenol and pH of brown colored rice tea were determined after the rice powder was put into tea bags and leached in hot water. Sensory characteristics were investigated for three kinds of tea roasted at $170^{\circ}C$ for 10, 20 and 30 min. As the roasting temperature and time increased, L, a and b values decreased as well as GABA content. The brown colored rice roasted at $170^{\circ}C$ for 10 min contained the highest content of GABA. Browning, turbidity, reducing sugar, soluble solid and total polyphenol of the brown colored rice tea increased as the roasting temperature and time increased, on the contrary, pH decreased. The brown colored rice tea roasted for 30 min was preferred the most in color, flavor, taste and overall acceptance. From this result, the brown colored rice tea needs to be manufactured by a combination of the brown colored rice roasted at $170^{\circ}C$ for 10 min and 30 min to satisfy the consumer's preference and high content of GABA.

In this study, we investigated the quality properties and sensory evaluation of pudding added with peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) juice and gelatin. The water content and pH of pudding decreased with increased peach juice content, whereas the sugar content increased. Further, the water content of pudding decreased with increased gelatin content, whereas the pH was constantly maintained and the sugar content slightly increased. Regarding the color of pudding, the L and b values decreased with increased peach juice content, whereas the L value increased with increased gelatin content. Regarding the texture of pudding, hardness and springiness decreased with increased peach juice content, whereas adhesiveness, chewiness, and cohesiveness all increased. All texture properties increased with higher gelatin content. In the sensory evaluation of color, flavor, taste, texture, and overall preference, pudding with 60% (w/w) peach juice and 1.5% (w/w) gelatin showed the highest values. These results demonstrate the possibility of using high value-added products for peach processing in the food industry, as the addition of peach juice and gelatin enhanced the quality and sensory properties of pudding.

Red wines were prepared with Campbell Early harvested at Youngdong, Chungbuk Province in 1999 of which average sugar content and total acidity(tartaric acid %) were $12^{\circ}Brix$ and 0.7%, respectively. In order to investigate the effect of addition of various sugars on the quality of red wine, sucrose, xylitol, glucose, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup(HFCS) and isomaltooligosaccharide(IMO) were added to musts to have $21^{\circ}Brix$ of sugar content. Fermentation of red wine in which glucose was added was faster than any other sugars with the final ethanol content of 12%(v/v). Wines to which sucrose and HFCS were added showed similar fermentation rates to glucose added one but alcohol contents were 10.3%(v/v) and 11.2%(v/v), respectively. Alcohol contents of wines made with xylitol, corn syrup and IMO was relatively low to about 7% (v/v) after fermentation. The pH values of wines were almost unchanged in all treatments during fermentation and the total acidities of wines were decreased from 0.7% to lower than 0.3%. The colors of wines were changed to redder and darker during fermentation. In sensory evaluation xylitol added wine showed the best preference and kept xylitol unfermented in it.

To evaluate the quality of commercial ginger tea, we compared physicochemical (sugar content, pH, acidity, color, viscosity, transparancy) and sensory (7-point scoring test, 18 experienced panel members) characteristics of commercial ginger tea with home-made one. Additionally, we assessed the opinion of Food and Nutrition specialists, about commercial ginger tea. Questionaires were hand delivered to 530 subjects consisted of University students and faculties of Department of Food and Nutrition at 8 cities (Seoul, Incheon, Youngin, Taejon, Chungju, Taegu, Kwangju, Pusan) in Korea and the complete data of 328 subjects were statistically analyzed using SPSS Program for Window (mean, ANOVA, $\chi$$^2$). The questionaires were consisted of sociodemographics, frequency and occasion of purchasing, opinion of quality and improvement points. Commercial ginger tea was lower in transparancy, Hunter color (L and b value) and viscosity than home-made one. However, commercial tea was not significantly different in sugar content, pH, acidity and Hunter color a value compared to home-made one. Also, among sensory attributes, over-all preference and flavor, sweetness were not significantly different between commercial and home - made one, However, scores of color, taste and pungency of home-made ginger tea were significantly higher than commercial one (p<0.05). Factors to be improved for commercial ginger tea were in the order of ginger content (28.6%), flavor (25.2%) and sweetness (24.5%).
