  • The purpose of this study was to elucidate characteristics of hydrolysates from file-fish flesh with various proteases. File-fish flesh was chopped, homogenized with water, and hydrolysed by 8 different kinds of commercially available protease. High production of peptide was observed in bromelain and neutrase treatment. On the other hand, large amount of free amino acid was observed in esp/sav and pronase treatment. Neutrase and pancreatin hydrolysate contained large amount of 5'-GMP. Organoleptic studies showed that the bromelain, esp/sav and protease hydrolysate had strong bitter taste, while pronase and esp/sav hydrolysate had strong umami taste. From these results, pronase was found to be suitable enzyme for producing file-fish hydrolysate.

  • This study was performed to test application possibility of electronic nose with 32 conducting polymer sensor arrays for aroma analysis of persimmon vinegar. The 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and $70^{\circ}Bx$ persimmon vinegar concentrates were prepared by vacuum concentration at $55^{\circ}C$. The recovery yield of water soluble solid to concentrates was 55.5% on $20^{\circ}Bx$ persimmon vinegar concentrate. As the concentration of persimmon vinegar concentrates increased, pH of concentrates increased and acidity as acetic acid decreased. From sensory evaluation for persimmon vinegar concentrates, as the concentration of persimmon vinegar concentrates increased, their cooking odor and umami taste increased, sour taste and acidic odor decreased, salty odor and astringency were not changed. Aroma analysis by electronic nose (AromaScan) showed no difference in normalized pattern and odor intensity among persimmon vinegar concentrates. All quality factors among concentrates also were less than 1.042. And so the electronic nose with conducting polymer sensor was not suitable for aroma analysis of persimmon vinegar concentrate.

  • This study tried to analyze sensual properties by classifying the thermal water extract of the main material used in Ssanghwa tea. Through this study, we wanted to develop popular Ssanghwa tea and further carry out basic research for the development of various menus using it. The ingredients for the Ssanghwa tea were washed under running water, then dehydrated and put in a pot as 2L of purified water. Ssangwha tea were heated at 100℃ for 10 minutes, then lowered the temperature to 75℃ and boiled down to 200 ml for 110 minutes. This study evaluated sensory characteristics of four types of commercial products and the five types manufactured by the description analysis. Quantitative analysis of the commercial Ssanghwa tea showed significant differences between samples in seven of the total 13 sensory characteristics except OG(Smell of grass), OC(Oriental medicine smell), TG(Umami), RT(Thick), RC(Rough) and RS(Tub-Tub) (p<0.05). In particular, differences between samples were evident in CT(Transmittance), CB(Brownness), TW(Sweet taste) and TB(Bitter) (p<0.001), which appeared to be the main differentiated features of appearance, aroma and taste for commercial Ssanghwa tea. This study tried to analyze sensual properties by classifying the thermal water extract of the main material used in Ssanghwa tea. Through, we wanted to develop popular Ssanghwa tea and further carry out basic research for the development of various menus using it.

  • This study was carried out to assess the quality properties, components associated with taste and aroma of beef as a function of breed. For this purpose, steers from four Korean native cattle breeds: Hanwoo (n=10), Chikso (n=10), black Hanwoo (n=12, BHW) and Jeju black cattle (n=12, JBC) were used. The steers all were raised under identical conditions and finished at a similar age of around 30-months old. Following 24 h of slaughter, all longissimus lumborum muscles were collected and used for analysis of meat quality, fatty acids, and flavor-related components (metabolic compounds, free amino acids, and aroma volatiles). The Hanwoo presented a significantly higher intramuscular fat content (IMF, 22.85%) than the BHW (11.78%), Chikso (9.25%), and JBC (9.14%; p<0.05). The meat of Hanwoo breed showed lighter and redder color, and lower shear force value (p<0.05). The JBC presented a "healthier" fatty acid profiles as it had a higher total unsaturated fatty acids content (p<0.05). With regard to flavorrelated components, Hanwoo also had higher total contents of free amino acids and metabolites associated with umami and sweet tastes, and fat-derived volatile compounds (aldehydes, alcohols, and ketones) associated with fatty aroma. It may be concluded that there was a considerable difference in the meat quality properties among breeds. The variations of IMF content and flavor-related components may be the main factors contributing to the typical flavors of beef among the four Korean native cattle breeds.

  • In this study, we analyzed the physicochemical and sensory properties of black goat jerky marinated with various spices (non-spice, control; rosemary, RO; basil, BA; ginger, GI; turmeric, TU; and garlic, GA). The physicochemical properties of black goat jerky analyzed were pH, water holding capacity, color, cooking yield, shear force, and fatty acid composition. The sensory characteristics were analyzed through the aroma profile (electronic nose), taste profile (electronic tongue), and sensory evaluation. The pH and water holding capacity of the GI showed higher values than the other samples. GI and GA showed similar values of CIE L* and CIE a* to that of the control. The shear force of the GI and TU was significantly lower than that of other samples (p<0.05). Regarding fatty acid composition, GI showed high unsaturated and low saturated fatty acid contents compared with that of the other samples except for RO (p<0.05). In the aroma profile, the peak area of hexanal, which is responsible for a faintly rancid odor, was lower in all treatment groups than in the control. In the taste profile, the umami of spice samples was higher than that of the control, and among the samples, GI had the highest score. In the sensory evaluation, the GI sample showed significantly higher scores than the control in terms of flavor, aroma, goaty flavor, and overall acceptability (p<0.05). Therefore, marinating black goat jerky with ginger powder enhanced the overall flavor and reduced the goat odor.

  • To develop Korean-style cut noodles with enhanced protein and calcium levels, we manipulated the ratio of dried anchovy Engraulis japonicus soup base residue powder to wheat flour, using a response surface methodology based on trained panel trials to determine the optimum ratio. Texture analysis and nutritional evaluation were also performed on cut noodles containing dried anchovy soup base residue (CNAR). Higher umami taste and springiness, and lower fishy flavor were strongly correlated with overall acceptability. The optimal CNAR formulation consisted of wheat flour (96.02 g), anchovy residue powder (2.67 g), and water (50.64 mL). CNAR had lower gumminess and adhesiveness (P<0.001), but higher springiness, cohesiveness (P<0.001), and chewiness (P<0.05), than the control (original wheat flour cut noodles). The addition of anchovy soup base residue elevated protein, lipid, and ash levels relative to the control. Color values decreased with increasing residue powder content. In vitro protein and starch digestibility of CNAR were lower than in the control (P<0.001). CNAR yielded significantly higher total free amino acid content than the control (P<0.01), leading to CNAR's improved palatability. Dried anchovy soup base residue can be used in wheat flour cut noodles to improve nutrition, sensory acceptability, and profitability.

  • This study was conducted to establish an effective palate cleanser when conducting descriptive analysis for gochujang products. In addition, descriptive analysis procedure for gochujang products was optimized. A generic descriptive analysis was performed on 4 types of gochujang samples varying in hot and spicy levels. The sensory attributes developed were 9 odors, 13 flavors, 4 texture and mouth feel attributes, and 4 appearance attributes. In order to select an effective palate cleanser for gochujang, 5 types of cleansers were tested (water, water+bread, water+cucumber, water+milk, water+cracker). Correct answering rate, significant numbers of product effect on sensory attributes, and the mean hot and spicy intensity values were considered to select the optimal palate cleanser. Results showed that as the hot & spicy level increased, red pepper odor and flavor significantly increased whereas umami taste intensity decreased. When comparing the efficiencies of various palate cleanser, the correct answer rates were the highest when warm water was used with either cucumber or cracker. Additionally, the attribute intensities were better differentiated between gochujang samples when cracker, white wheat bread, or cucumber were used. Overall, warm water with cucumber or cracker were shown to be the most effective cleansers.

  • This study aimed to analyze the use of monosodium L-glutamate (MSG) and disodium 5'-ribonucleotide in processed foods manufactured in Korea. Information about MSG and disodium 5'-ribonucleotide was collected from the ingredients claimed on the food packaging. A total of 412 food items were investigated, and 76 items were found to use MSG, disodium 5'-r ibonucleotide, and/or disodium 5'-inosinate. MSG was the most frequently found in 45 items (10.9%), followed by disodium 5'-ribonucleotide in 27 items (6.6%) and disodium 5'-inosinate in three items (0.7%). Of 29 food categories classified by the Korea Food Code, MSG was used most frequently in others, meat products, seasoned food, fish products, and noodles. In comparison, disodium 5'-ribonucleotide was mostly used in noodles. These results indicate that MSG and disodium 5'-ribonucleotide have been used in various Korean processed foods as a flavor enhancers with an umami taste that intensifies the flavor of food.

  • This study aims to make stock using cod bones with the hot water extraction method. Moisture content, chromaticity, pH, salinity, sugar content, mineral contents, quantitative analysis, and overall acceptance were studied to determine the standard formula. The results are as follows. The moisture content decreased (p < 0.001) and color value increased as heating time increased. The pH was highest in CS5 which was heated for 30 minutes and lowest in CS1. The salinity and sugar content significantly increased with more heating time (p < 0.001). In terms of mineral contents, sodium was highest in 138.87~154.17 mg, magnesium and iron showed proportion difference with increased heating time. The mineral analysis test result revealed that sodium, magnesium and iron showed proportional difference with increased heating time, while potassium and calcium did not change. The result of quantitative analysis test showed transparency, fishy smell, delicate flavor, savory flavor, salt taste and umami taste became stronger as high-pressure heating time increased. From these result, CS4 was evaluated to be the best in appearance, flavor, taste, aftertest and overall acceptance. Also, 60 minute high-pressure heating time is the most desirable to produce stock using cod bones as a main ingredient.
