The dissociation constant of erythrosine in the mixed solvent systems of water-alcohols and water-acetone at various pH and in concentration media were determined by spectrophotometric method. Methanol, ethanol, and acetone were employed as solvents and studied the changes of pK values of erythrosine according to the kind and change of concentration of organic solvent which is mixed into water solution. The effect of organic solvent on pK is negligible at 40% while in the case of above 40% mixing, it is not negligible.

To investigate availability of color value as quality standard for grading of salt-fermented fish sauces, the effect of storage period, dilution ratios, additives (glucose, MSG, IMP) and pigments (caramel and tar) on the changes of color value were measured by spectrophotomeky. The highest absorbance was scanned at 453 nm in fish sauces (anchovy and northern sand lance) without regard to storage periods, dilution ratios, pigments and additives. Absorbance at 453 nm was gradually increased during storage in fish sauces, and absorbance of northern sand lance sauce was higher than that of anchovy sauce during fermentation. There were almost no differences according to concentration of additives in fish sauces added additives during storage. But in case of fish sauces added pigments, absorbance increase of fish sauces added tar pigment was faster than that of caramel pigment during storage. The results suggest that color value is inadequate as quality standard for grading of salt-fermented fish sauces.

In order to provide fundamental data of food circulation policy, we performed monitoring the safety of the imported food which was circulating through Gwangju from March to October, 2005. Acid and peroxide value which are barometers for evaluation of the quality of lipid were investigated in 130 samples of imported oil treatment food. Not-permitted tar pigment and artificial sweetner were investigated in 139 candies by TLC and HPLC. The content of sulfur dioxide in 129 samples of dried fishery products and dried fruits was investigated by Monier-Williams method. In 130 samples of imported oil treatment food, 9 samples (6.9%) were incongruent with acid value, 6 samples (4.6%) with peroxide value and 4 samples (3.1%) with acid value simultaneously with peroxide value. In 139 imported candies, not-permitted artificial sweetner were found in 2 samples (1.4%). In 129 samples in which sulfur oxide was analyzed,4 samples (3.1%) were incongruent. Finally, in total 398 samples in which this study was analyzed, 25 samples (6.3%) were incongruent.

We conducted this analysis to make consumers have useful information about consumed foods on the market by investigating the additives contained in food. Korean food additive code (2007) allowed 634 kinds of food additives to be used in domestic products. The food additives consisted of 426 kinds of synthetic additives, 201 kinds of natural additives and 7 kinds of mixture additives. We purchased total 117 kinds of samples; 94 items including sorts of nuts, vegetables and dried fishery products from local markets and discount marts, and 23 kinds of traditional liquors from March to November, 2007, and we researched for various food additives like artificial sweetener, tar pigments and sulfur dioxide. We detected 11.5 to 4,452.3 mg/kg of sulfur dioxide in 18 out of 94 samples except liquors, finding out some artificial sweetener of sodium saccharin in 2 out of 23 liquors, however, no tar pigments were detected from all of the samples. We found out that 2 cases of shredded jujube from china (2476.6 and 4,452.3 mg/kg) proved to exceed regulatory guidance (2000 mg/kg) in sulfur dioxide. Also, we found out that one dried cherry tomato from china contained 88.9 mg/kg and one domestic dried pumpkin 1653.7 mg/kg of sulfur dioxide which should not be detected in vegetables. In traditional liquors, 2 items out of all samples contained 0.4 and 11.1 mg/kg of sodium saccharin which is strictly prohibited to use in liquors.

The study was carried out to determine the effect of storage property and qualities on soybean sauce and paste by adding different amount of pyroligneous liquor obtained by sujpercritical fluid extraction(SFE). Purified pyroligneous liquor obtained by SFE at 4$0^{\circ}C$/110 bar contained p-cresol, o-cresol and m-cresol food sterilizers, but no toxic substances such as tar, scorched, furfuraland and monophenol. Thus pyroligneous liquor was considered to be suitable as natural food preservative. In case of soybean sauce, pyroligneous liquor was tested to determine the potential of natual food preservative to prevent flim formation on soybean ksauce 15days at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Increasing amounts of purified pyroligneous liquor added to soybean sauce prevented film forming yeasts. In case of paste, pyroligneous liquor was tested to determine the potential of natural food preservative to inhibit browning on paste 60 days at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Purified pyroligneous liquor added to paste inhibited brown pigment. As a result, purified pyroligneous liquor offered a promising way of improving the quality and storage property of soybean sauce and paste.

Lip make-up products can be easily taken into body with food. For this reason, those products are requires to meet lots of qualifications compared with other cosmetic products. In addition, concerns about safety on synthesized tar pigments is constantly issued. Thus, demand of natural pigments is gradually increased and many kinds of natural pigments have been developed. However, there are some problems when natural pigments are applied to cometic products instead of synthetic ones. There is a reason that most of natural pigments consist of hydrophilic materials of sort of anthocyanin, but the existing lip make-up products is anhydrous oil dispersion type without water consisting oil and wax. Therefore, when watersoluble natural pigments are applied to anhydrous lip make-up products, color expression is lower and phase separation occurs due to the instability of the product. In addition, natural pigments have disadvantages that they can easily change by pH, heat and sunlight. There are troubles of stability because it is not easy to adjust for these factors in case of anhydrous forms. Aim of study is to develop lip make-up products which have not only safe to human but being high in expression of color by using natural pigments and securing stability of colorant as natural pigments are offered to polyol in oil emulsion. Then, lip make-up products which have heavy moisture while having not dryness that is created when the moisture evaporates are developed.
