To find out the possible variation in chemical composition among ginseng products, the amount of saponin, extract and other basic components in different age and portion of ginseng roots(Panax ginseng Meyer) were investigated and compared with. (1) Great difference in the amount of ash, crude protein, fiber, fat, total sugar and reducing sugar was observed among different portion of the root comparing with those of different age of the root. That of ash, crude fiber, saponin and extract produced was higher in epidermis, fiber roots and subterranean stems, while that of crude protein, total sugar, panaxadiol/panaxatriol was higher in central portion and branch of the root. (2) The amount of extract produced was affected by the solvent used. Higher amount was obtained when water was employed. It was decreased as the increase of the concentration of alcohol solvent. Futhermore, the composition and physical properties were greatly varied by the concentration of alcohol solvent. (3) The amount of total-N, $P_2O_5,\;K_2O$, and ash was higher in two to three years old roots, while those of crude $SiO_2,\;CaO,$ crude fiber, and total sugar was higher in order roots. No difference was found in amount of MgO, Fe, Zn, and Na among age of the root.

To evaluate the possible utilization of ginseng by-products, chemical components of ginseng residue, reducing ability of DPPH, effect of residue extract on the yeast growth, amino acid contents of yeast cell, increase of residue extract yield by enzyme treatment were studied. Alcohol and water extract residue contained 43-46% total reducing sugar and 14-15% crude protein, while alcohol extract residue had 0.18% n-BuOH extract. Water extract of alcohol extract residue had about 45% reducing ability of DPPH in comparison with that of alcohol extract from ginseng roots. Essential nutrients for the yeast growth were found in extract when Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cultured in Czapeck medium, a compound medium, with the residue. The addition of residue extract to malt medium, a natural medium, enhanced 30-40% yeast growth. And content of each amino acid in yeast cell cultured on malt medium with ginseng residue extract was much more than that of the cell cultured without ginseng extract, but amino acid composition of yeast cell did not differ from one another. The treatment of alcohol extract residue with cellulase increased 250% yield of residue extract.

The effects of the substitution of sugar alcohol for sugar on the sensory properties of mulberry rice cake, 'Bbongseolgy', were evaluated in two phases. First, the relative sweetness of xylitol, erythritol and palatinose to the sucrose in the food systems were examined with paired comparison tests. Second, the sensory properties of the mulberry rice cake containing xylitol, erythritol and palatinose substitution for sugar at a sweetness level equal to sucrose were studied. Sensory analysis for the mulberry rice cake characteristics was conducted and consumer acceptability tests were performed. The physical properties of mulberry rice cake were also examined. The relative sweetness of xylitol, erythritol and palatinose, compared to sucrose, in the solid model food system were 1.00, 0.63 and 0.42, respectively. This result showed that the relative sweetness of xylitol, erythritol and palatinose to sugar was slightly lower than those in the liquid model food system, in which flavor did not influence the sweetness. Mulberry rice cake with erythritol or palatinose had very similar characteristics, with lower fracturability and tenderness, and higher moistness, compactness and chewiness compared to that with sucrose or xylitol. Mulberry rice cake with xylitol was significantly the most fracturable, grainy, and driest, and the least adhesive, among the samples. The consumer test showed no difference in overall acceptability among the samples and consumers perceived differences only in moistness, coarseness and compactness among the samples. Mulberry rice cake with erythritol was the most favored in many characteristics. These results indicate that erythritol substitution for sugar inmulberry rice cake is suitable as a low-calorie rice cake with beneficial functions to improve in the health and texture of the rice cake.

Volatile components of whole sardine sauce which was prepared with $7\%$ of complex enzyme-2000($2.18{\cdot}10^4\;U/g solid$), mixed with $6\%$ of invert sugar and heated at $90^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours were compared with those of without invert sugar. Thirty seven kinds were identified from the whole volatile components of hydrolysate heated without invert sugar and fourty three kinds were identified from the hydrolysate heated with $6\%$ of invert sugar. Amines were not detected from the whole volatile components of the chopped whole sardine hydrolysate. Considerable amount of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran and 2-acetylpyrrole, a little amount of 2,5-hydrofuran, 2-ethylbutanol, 2-pyrone, 2-acetylfuran, 2,6-dimethylpyrazine, 2-acetylpyrazine, 5-methyl-2-furfural, furfuryl acetate, butylpyrrole and 2-methyl-3-hydroxypyrone were detected in the hydrolysate thermally treated with $6\%$ of invert sugar while these were not found in the hydrolysate heated without invert sugar. But the amount of 2-methyt-1-propa-not, hexane, butyl acetate and butyl alcohol were decreased, and acetic acid and butanoic acid were detected as volatile fatty acids.

Fermentation characteristics of Jerusalem Artichoke of yeast K.fragilis CBS 1555 were investigated experimentally and quantitatively according to the change of initial sugar concentrations and initial PHs of fermentation broth. Initial sugar concentrations employed were 26, 45, 65, 105, 180, and 215g/1. And initial PHs of fermentation broth were 3, 5.5, 7 and 9. The maximum specific growth rate was observed as 0.4hr-1 at 65g/1 of initial sugar concentration. The maximum specific alcohol production rate was 1.68g/ghr at 105g/1 of initial sugar concentration Cell yield and ethanol yield represent the maximum values such as 0.14 and 0.49 respectively when the initial sugar concentration was 25g/1. The maximum of ethano1 fermentability, 97% was obtained at the initial concentrations, 26 and 45g/1. However, the maximum of total ethanol yield productivity was 2.78g/1hr when the initial concentration was 215g/1. And also the optimum PH was found 5.5 for both specific growth rate and specific alcohol production rate.

In order to improve wine quality, the selection of yeast strain and of additives in the manufacture of Bokbunja (Rubus coreanus Miq.) wine was investigated. The chemical composition of the edible portions of Bokbunja fruits was 86.5% moisture, 0.2% crude protein, 0.9% crude fat, 6.6% crude fiber, 0.5% ash and $10^{\circ}Brix$ sugar, and was 2.99% fructose, 2.53% glucose and 0.07% sucrose in fruit extract. The predominant organic acids in the fruit were citric acid (14.57 mg/mL) and malic acid (2.24 mg/mL) with smaller amounts of shikimic, pyroglutamic and oxalic acid. During fermentation, citric and malic acid levels decreased, while formic and acetic acid were released. Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCCM 12224 (Sc-24) was more favorable for alcoholic fermentation of Bokbunja and the addition of 200 ppm of potassium metabisulphite to must was more efficient than other $SO_2$ sources with a higher overall acceptability score. Sc-24 increased alcohol production from 9.8 to 14.8% in a sugar concentration dependent manner $(18-28^{\circ}Brix)$. The color value of early stage Bokbunja must was improved by supplementing with Japanese apricot extract, but this did not influence the color value of Bokbunja wine after primary fermentation. The astringent taste of Bokbunja wine was reduced by removing the seed from the fruit. Sugar solution (50%, w/v) was used instead of sugar power to prevent the possibility of undissolved sugar due to insufficient mixing. This substitution did not influence sensory evaluation.

The characteristics of the narirutin-added alcohol fermentation of citrus hydrolysates were investigated to produce functionally improved citrus wine. The pH of narirutin-added citrus wine ranged from 3.38 to 3.51, and the titratable acidity was about 0.55% which show no significant differences attributable to the narirutin quantity. With regard to the color and brown color, with the addition of more narirutin, the a value was decreased while the b value and brown color increased. The sugar content decreased from 24 to 8.0-8.5 $^{\circ}Brix$ after alcohol fermentation, and the alcohol content appeared to be between 14.5 and 14.6% in all the sections. For the free sugar contents, the glucose and fructose contents were relatively high in every section. For the total polyphenol content, it was shown to increase when more narirutin was added. and the 2%-narirutin-added section showed the highest polyphenol content(46.44 mg%). The results of sensory evaluation were that the color, flavor and bitterness increased while the sweetness and overall acceptability were reduced by the additional narirutin. Functionally improved citrus wine can be produced by using narirutin, but more researches regarding quality improvement should be carried out to overcome the bitterness.

The purpose of this study was to screen desirable yeast strains for alcoholic fermentation of tomato paste without sugar addition. The moisture, crude protein, crude fat, ash, and soluble nitrogen contents of the tomato paste ($25^{\circ}Brix$) were found to be 67.33%, 1.90%, 0.03%, 0.02%, and 30.72%, respectively. Free sugars found in the paste were fructose and glucose. Most abundant free amino acids of the paste were glutamic, aspartic, and ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acids. Total seven yeast strains (Saccharomyces cerevisiae KDH (TWA), S. cerevisiae Lalvin ICVD-47 (TWB), S. cerevisiae Lalvin RC-212 (TWC), S. cerevisiae Lalvin K1-V1116 (TWD), S. bayanus Lalvin EC-1118 (TWE), S. cerevisiae Enoferm (TWF), and S. cerevisiae DJ97(KCTC8842P) (TWG)) were tasted for alcohol fermentation of the tomato paste. The highest alcohol content (8.2%) and the lowest residual sugar content ($13.25^{\circ}Brix$) were observed in the tomato paste fermented using the S. cerevisiae Lalvin ICVD-47 strain (TWB) after 3 day and 4 day of fermentation, respectively. Sugar and reducing sugar contents, and pH of the tomato paste were not remarkably affected by the difference in yeast strains used, showing $13.25{\sim}13.45^{\circ}Brix$, 28.37~28.48 mg/mL, and 4.43~4.54, respectively, after 4 day of fermentation. Color and total acid content were significantly affected by the types of yeast strains and fermentation time, but the numerical changes were negligible. These results indicate that TWB would be the suitable strain for alcoholic fermentatiom of tomato paste based on its highest alcohol production and the lowest residual sugar content produced during fermentation.
