Some taste compounds such as nucleotide and their related compounds, trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), trimethylamine (TMA) and total creatinine of sea mussel and baby clam during drying at 40, 50 and 60^{\circ}C$ and storage at low temperature$(4^{\circ}C)$ and room temperature$(20^{\circ}C)$ were investigated. Six kinds of nucleotide and their related compounds such as adenine triphosphate (ATP), adenine diphosphate (ADP), adenine monophosphate (AMP), inosine, adenosine and hypoxanthine were analyzed. The contents od adenosine in raw sample was high in sea mussel and baby clam. The contents of ATP, ADP and AMP decreased, while those of inosine and hypoxanthine increased during drying and storage periods. The contents of TMAO, TMA and total creatinine were low in sea mussel and baby clam. TMAO and total creatinine decreased but TMA increased during drying and storage periods. The rate of change was high in room temperature storage and for long storage periods than that of low temperature storage and for short storage periods.

The N-Cyclohexylsulfamic acid salts of four well known therapeutic agents were prepared. Salts of two of the compounds, ephedrine and diphenhydramine, were found to have great improved taste and increased solubility.

Eleven strains had been previously isolated from kimchi and identified in our laboratory. The ability of each strain in aroma production was investigated by sensory evaluation. Among them Saccharomyc s sp. YK-17, Saccharomyces sp. YK-18, Saccharomyces sp. YH-3 and Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 produced fruity flavour. Especially, Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 produced apple and pineapple-like flavours. Pichia media YK-11, Saccharomyces sp. YK-20 and Pichia chambardii YH-4 produced wine-like flavour. Debaryomyces sp. YK-6, Debarymyces coudertii YK-10, Saccharomyces sp. YK-12 and Pichia haplophilia YH-5 produced alcoholic flavours. Using the good flavour producing strains as starters, various groups of kimchi were fermented, and the sensory characteristics of each group such as odor, taste and total acceptability were evaluated. The acidic odor, moldy odor and taste were reduced by adding starter, while the fresh sourness odor and taste similar to fruity fiavour were increased by starter. Comparing with the control group, these odor, taste and total acceptability were increased in the starter-added groups, such as Pichia edia YK-11, Saccharomyces sp. YK-17, and Saccharomyces,fermentati YK- 19. Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 added kimchi group was higher siginificantly (P<0.05) than the others at the total acceptability. Volatile compounds of the culture broth of Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 were analysed by gas chromatography, and 6 species of esters and 4 species of alcohols were identified. Among them, the ester substances which broth largely responsible for the apple-like flavour in the sensory evaluation, were found to be ethyl 2-methyl butvrate, ethyl pentanoate and ethyl acetate.

The red ginseng marc was roasted at various conditions and its organo-leptic properties and flavor components were investigated. Scorched-rice odor and roasted odor and the roasted red ginseng marc powder were much stronger than those from the unroasted red ginseng marc powder while earth odor, old-rice odor, metalic off-odor and woody odor were much weaker than those from the unroasted red ginseng marc. Savory odor and scorched-rice odor as well as savory taste and astringent taste from the water-extract of red ginseng marc roasted at $200^{\circ}C$ were stronger, but smoky odor, woody odor, biner taste and rough taste were weaker than those roasted at $230^{\circ}C$. Seven kinds of pyrazines, two kinds of carbonyl compounds, seven kinds of acids, two kinds of esters, five kinds of phenolic compowlds, maltol and six other compounds were identified as flavor components in distillate from red ginseng marc roasted at $200^{\circ}C$ for twenty minuties. Of them pyrazines and maltol are thought to be compounds which have characteristic odor such as roasted odor and/or scorchedrice odor in the roasted red ginseng marc.

The approximate compositions and the taste compounds of tilapia, Oreochromis nitoticus, cultured in freshwater and seawater for six months, were analyzed. As for the approximate compositions, there were little differences in moisture and protein contents of tilapia cultured in seawater and freshwater, but somewhat higher lipids and ash than that cultured in freshwater. Also, no significant differences in the content of free amino acids, nucleoli-des, betaine, TMAO, and total creatinine were observed between both groups.

Organic bases in the dorsal meat of wild common carp, Cyprinus carpio, were analyzed as a part of the studies on the taste compounds of fresh-water fishes. The male and female meat showed no significant differences in contents of total creatinine, betaine, TMA and TMAO. The most abundant basic compound was total creatinine $(ca.\;400mg\%)$. The amount of betaine was poor $(ca.\;66.5mg\%)$ and TMA and TMAO were trace in content $(below\;1mg\%)$.

We compared the fermentation of 0 to 4 weeks by manufacturing a rapid low salt-fermented seahorse with a commercial Protamex added to the functional food, Hippocampus abdominalis. We studied amino acid composition, content and major amino acids related to flavor during the fermentation process of salt-fermented seahorse. In the enzyme-free group, it showed little change in the content of non-protein nitrogenous compounds, the content of amino acids and degree of hydrolysis. The Protamex enzyme treatment group was rapidly hydrolyzed in one week of ripening, resulting in increased non-protein nitrogenous compounds content, amino acid content and degree of hydrolysis, and minimal changes in the four weeks. The total amino acid contents ratio showed the highest content of glutamic acid in the enzyme additive group, glycine, alanine, which indicates sweet taste, and serine, the content of glycine, alanine, serine, and lysine, indicating sweet taste, has increased significantly over the enzyme-free group. Twenty species of free amino acid in the four-week of salt-fermented seahorse were detected. It detected 43.0% (6 species) in the enzyme-free group and 63.96% (7 species) in the enzyme additive group.

Ginseng root is a medicinal plant widely used in Korea for its immunity enhancing and anti-fatigue properties. However, its bitter taste has a negative impact on the expansion of the ginseng market. In this study, we determined the bitter tasting compounds of ginseng using an electronic tongue. The results of measuring bitterness showed that phenolic compounds and polyacetylenes of ginseng had low bitterness. On the other hand, the bitterness was strong in ginsenosides and alkaloids of ginseng. Among them, the bitterness of ginseng was higher in ginsenosides than in alkaloids. Theses results suggest that ginsenosides have a significant affect on the bitter taste of ginseng.

This study investigated the amino acid and nucleotide-related compound composition and taste characteristics of cultured muscle tissue (CMT) obtained by culturing satellite cells isolated from chicken and cattle and compared them to those of traditional meat (TM). The content of all amino acids except valine and tyrosine was significantly different between CMT and TM (p<0.05). The amount of glutamic acid was not significantly different between CMT and TM in cattle, but the glutamic acid in chicken CMT was lower than that of TM (p<0.05). Among the nucleotide-related compounds, only the content of inosine-5'-monophosphate (IMP) was significant, and the amount of IMP in CMT derived from chicken and cattle was significantly lower than that of TM (p<0.05). There were significant differences in the taste characteristics assessed by an electronic tongue system, and the umami, bitterness, and sourness values of CMT were significantly lower than those of TM from both chicken and cattle (p<0.05). The results of the present study suggest that it is necessary to develop a satellite cell culture method that could increase the umami and bitterness intensity of CMT and adjust the composition of the growth medium to produce cultured meat with a taste similar to that of TM.
