In order to investigate changes of flavor during food sterilization in retortable pluches, a model food system consisting of 50% chicken breast meat, 1% salt and 49% chicken stock was analyzed before and after retorting using GC and GC-MS. In the analysis of the volatile components collected by the nitrogen purge and trap technique before and after retorting, a total of 53 peaks were observed on chromatograms and 42 peaks were identified. Among the 42 peaks identified were 17 caused by aldehydes, 9 by hydrocarbons, 8 by alcohols, 6 by ketones, 1 by furan and 1 by terpene. Analysis of the data obtained from our model food system strongly suggested that the compounds responsible for retort flavor are 2-heptanone, 2-pentyl furan and various ketones.

The physical properties of essential oil of nutmeg extracted in different methods (SDE, Solvent, $CO_2$) were investigated and also the components of essential oil were analyzed using G.C. and G.C./ Mass. Solvent extraction yield was 23% and was higher than those of SDE extraction and $CO_2$ extraction. From the analysis result and physical properties of nutmeg oil, it was conformed that the nutmeg used In this experiment was similar to East Indies type. The content of sabinene was 3.6-14.1%, 28.4-48.7% for myristicin, 1.2-2.1% for elemicin, and 3.6-5.6% for safrole. The camphene was identified in SDE extracts but not in $CO_2$ extracts. The volatile components of SDE extracts and solvent extracts contained large amount of monoterpene and terpene alcohol but $CO_2$ extracts aminly contained aromatic compounds.

Fermentation is an effective process for providing various beneficial effects in functional beverages. Lactic acid bacteria and yeast fermentation-based biotransformation contribute to enhancement of nutritional value and digestibility, including lactose intolerance reduction and control of infections. In this study, the probiotic fermented fruit juice (PFJ) was produced by Lactobacillus plantarum TISTR 1465, Lactobacillus salivarius TISTR 1112, and Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 while mixed fruit juice (MFJ) was used as the basic medium for microorganism growth. The potential function, the anti-salmonella activity of PFJ, was found to be effective at 250 mg/ml of MIC and 500 mg/ml of MBC. Biofilm inhibition was performed using the PFJ samples and showed at least 70% reduction in cell attachment at the MIC concentration of Salmonella Typhi DMST 22842. The antioxidant activities of PFJ were determined and the results revealed that FSB.25 exhibited 78.40 ± 0.51 mM TE/ml by FRAP assay, while FPSB.25 exhibited 3.44 ± 0.10 mM TE/ml by DPPH assay. The volatile compounds of PFJ were characterized by GC-MS, which identified alcohol, aldehyde, acid, ester, ketone, phenol, and terpene. The most abundant organic acid and alcohol detected in PFJ were acetic acid and 2-phenylethanol, and the most represented terpene was β-damascenone. The sensory attributes showed scores higher than 7 on a 9-point hedonic scale for the FPB.25, illustrating that it was well accepted by panelists. Taken together, our results showed that PFJ could meet current consumer demand regarding natural and functional, fruit-based fermented beverages.

The present study was designed to examine the concentrations, emission rates, and source characteristics of a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in 30 newly-constructed apartment buildings by measuring indoor and outdoor VOC concentrations over a 2-year period. For comparison, seven villa-type houses were also surveyed for indoor and outdoor VOC concentrations over a 3-month period. Indoor and outdoor air samples were collected on Tenax-TA adsorbent and analyzed using a gas chromatograph (GC)/mass spectrometer system or a GC/flame ionization detector system coupled to a thermal desorption system. The long-term change in indoor VOC concentrations depended on the type of VOCs. Generally, aromatic (except for naphthalene), aliphatic, and terpene compounds exhibited a gradual deceasing trend over the 2-year follow-up period. However, the indoor concentrations of the six halogenated VOCs did not significantly vary with time changes. Similar to these halogenated VOCs, the indoor naphthalene concentrations did not vary significantly with time changes over the 2-year period. Unlike the halogenated VOCs, the indoor naphthalene concentrations were much higher than the outdoor concentrations. The indoor concentrations of aliphatic and aromatic compounds were higher for the villa-type houses when compared to those of apartment buildings. In addition, four source groups (floor coverings and interior painting, household products, wood paneling and furniture, moth repellents) and three source groups (floor coverings and interior painting, household products, and moth repellents) were considered as potential VOC sources inside apartment buildings for the first- and second-year post-occupancy stages, respectively.

Citron peel oil was extracted from citron (Citrus funas) fruit by steam distillation, and was used as starting material for microbial conversion to synthesize attractive flavor compounds by using Enterobacter agglomerans 6L. E. agglomerans was isolated from citron peel and was able to metabolize the citron peel oil and grew well ($A_{600}:\;3.0$) on the citron peel oil as the sole carbon source. Multiple terpene metabolites were produced by E. agglomerans 6L on M9 salt media with citron oil vapor. The identified bioconversion products from the citron peel oil included trans-2-decenal, octanol, $\delta$­valerolactone, $\gamma$-valerolactone, cryptone, hydroxycitronellol, cuminol, and $\gamma$-dodecalactone.

To investigate the aroma difference of commercial Korean green tea caused by manufacturing process and harvesting time, analysis of aroma concentrates of steamed green teas(1st tea, 2nd tea) and parched green teas(1st tea, 2nd tea) was accomplished. Steamed green tea, which had a briskness, greenish odor and sweet-floral odor, contained large amounts of terpene alcohols such as linalool, nerolidol, ketones such as cis-jasmone, 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-hydroxycyclohexanone and indole, Parched green tea, which had a slightly greenish odor and floral, roast odor, contained large amounts of terpene alcohols such as linalool, geraniol, aromatic alcohols such as benzylalcohol, phenylethanol and phenol, indole. Almost same tendency of odor component change of 1st tea and 2nd tea differed to harvesting time being observed in steamed tea and parched tea. In 2nd tea of both samples, aliphatic alcohols such as 1-penten-3-ol, cis-2-penten-1-al and two 2, 4-heptadienal(cis, trans and trans, trans) increased remarkably. It seems that these four components effects on the grade of the odor.

This study was to investigate the antifungal activity of Larix kaempferi essential oil against dermatophytes, Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum. The active components of L. kaempferi against dermatophytes were determined (characterized by GC-MS), and the morphological changes of the dermatophytes exposed to the L. kaempferi essential oil were observed by electron microscope. Main component of L. kaempferi essential oil was (-)-bornyl acetate. In antifungal activity tests, MIC of L. kaempferi crude oil was 125 ppm on every fungi and 100% (agar dilution method) at more than 500 ppm. By using SEM and TEM, the fungal morphology of E. floccosum exposed to the L. kaempferi essential oil was different from that of normal hyphal morphology. Hyphae exposed to the L. kaempferi essential oil was damaged with distorted and collapsed surfaces. In addition, there were destruction and disorganization of organelles in cytoplasm and collapse of cell membrane. Active antifungal components from L. kaempferi essential oil were identified as terpene alcohol compounds like (-)-${\tau}$-muurolol, (+)-terpinen-4-ol, ${\alpha}$-terpineol, and ${\alpha}$-cadinol.

The purpose of this study was to characterize the aroma of green tea blended with dried citrus fruits containing peeler. Whether middle or low grade green tea is consumed does not have an influence on health benefits, but it does havean influence on flavor. Therefore, two kinds of citrus fruits (mandarin orange and citron) were used to infuse the teas with aromatic flavors. This process turned unflavored tea into special tea with a good color and preferable flavor. Aroma compounds were extracted by SDE method. The concentrated aroma extracts were analyzed and identified by GC and GC-MS. The main aroma components of the green tea blended with mandarin orange were limonene (72.18%), (Z)-ocimene (8.29%), phenyl acetaldehyde (6.15%), ${\gamma}$-terpinene (5.14%), ${\beta}$-elemene (1.80%) and linalool (1.00%). The main aroma components of the green tea blended with citron were limonene (71.74%), ${\gamma}$-terpinene (9.76%), (Z)-ocimene (5.38%), (E)-ocimene (4.36%), linalool (1.00%) and ${\beta}$-mycrene (0.87%). The aromas of green tea blended with dried citrus fruits were mainly mono - and sesquiterpenic compounds.
