The purpose of this study was to investigate the flavor characteristics of Gondre (Cirsium setidens Nakai) essential oil. The essential oil was isolated from the aerial parts of the plant by the hydrodistillation extraction method and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectroscopy (MS). Seventy-eight (90.28%) volatile flavor components were identified in the essential oil from Gondre harvested in May. The major compounds were hexadecanoic acid (44.84%), phytol (15.57%), 6,10,14-trimethyl-2- pentadecanone (5.62%), and tertadecanoic acid (4.77%). Seventy (90.72%) volatile flavor components were identified in the essential oil from Gondre harvested in September. The major compounds were phytol (24.18%), 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone (15.59%), tetracosane (8.87%), 2-methyl eicosane (3.55%), 6,10,14-trimethyl-5,9,13-pentadecatrien-2-one (3.12%), dibuthyl phthalate (2.35%), and viridiflorol (2.33%). The flavor components of the essential oil from Gondre harvested in May and September were characterized by higher proportions of aliphatic fatty acids and terpene compounds, respectively.

A new strawberry cultivar ‘Misohyang’ was originated from the cross between ‘Darselect’ and ‘Wongyo 3111’ in 2009. Among hybrids, ‘Misohyang’, a superior individual possessing vigorous growth, capacity to early differentiate flower buds, and excellent physiological characteristics, was selected. Several tests conducted from 2012 to 2014 revealed that this cultivar was suitable for forcing culture due to its faster flowering and harvest time than ‘Seolhyang’. Fruits of ‘Misohyang’ were conical in shape with a red color, which turned dark red color when fruits were fully ripened. Although sugar contents in ‘Misohyang’ fruits were lower than those in ‘Seolhyang’, their aromatic properties were excellent in terms of synergy effect on perception of sweet flavor. In addition, ‘Misohyang’ fruits could maintain high hardness despite a warm temperature during spring. These physiological characteristics of fruits contribute to its high yields in spring, with an average fruit weight of 20 g. Regarding disease resistance, ‘Misohyang’ showed sensitivity to powdery mildew during nursery period and fruit ripening stage. Since the cultivar ‘Misohyang’ has an excellent flavor with attractive red color, sustainable hardness, and high yields in spring, it is expected to be popularly consumed not only for its fresh fruits, but also for its processed fruits.

This study investigated the volatile flavor components of the essential oil from Chrysanthemum coronarium var. spatiosum Bailey. The essential oil obtained from the aerial parts of the plant by the hydrodistillation extraction method was analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. One hundred and one (99.11%) volatile flavor components were identified in the essential oil from the Chrysanthemum coronarium var. spatiosum Bailey. The major compounds were hexanedioic acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester (12.45%), 6.10.14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone (7.94%), 1-(phenylethynyl)-1-cyclohexanol (6.34%), α-farnesene (5.55%), phytol (4.99%), and α-caryophyllene (4.39%). When the volatile flavor components of Chrysanthemum coronarium var. spatiosum Bailey were classified by functional group, the content was high in the order of hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters, ketones, aldehydes, and phthalides. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were the most common hydrocarbons, mainly due to α-farnesene and α-caryophyllene. Among the alcohols, the content of aliphatic alcohols was significantly higher, mainly due to 1-(phenylethnyl)-1-cyclohexanol (6.34%) and phytol (4.99%). The analysis of the volatile flavor components of Chrysanthemum coronarium var. spatiosum Bailey in this study will provide useful information to consumers when purchasing food and to industries using fragrance ingredients.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the quality characteristics of Korean Woori black pig (KWP) bellies and loins by different slaughter weight (SW) groups. The loin and belly samples collected from KWPs with different body weights (50, 75, 90, 105, and 120 kg) at 24 h post-mortem were used in the present investigation. The samples were analyzed for quality traits, fatty acid profiles, and volatile flavor compounds. Results showed that the fat content of the loin (8.64%) and belly samples (46.78%) was significantly higher in the 120 kg SW group compared to those of other SW groups (p<0.05). However, a lower protein content (12.20-12.67%) was found in the belly cuts of the heavier SW groups (105-120 kg) compared to those of the lighter SW groups (p<0.05). The lowest cooking loss (24.34%) was found in the loin cuts of the 120 kg SW group (p<0.05). Both the loin and belly cuts were observed to be redder in color with increasing SW (p<0.05). Higher oleic acid (C18:1, n9) and total monounsaturated fatty acid content and lower linolenic acid(C18:3, n3) and total polyunsaturated fatty acid content were observed in both cuts of the 120 kg SW group (p<0.05). Out of the flavor compounds identified, 11 and 17 compounds in the loin and belly, respectively, were associated with the SW. An increase in the SW resulted in increased concentrations of C18:1n9- and amino acid-derived flavor compounds. Overall, the meat samples of the heavier SW groups (120 kg) exhibited better quality and higher concentrations of volatile compounds associated with pleasant flavors. However, the meat of the 120 kg SW group also contained a much higher fat level (8.64 and 46.78% in the loin and belly, respectively) that may result in high trimming loss and hence a high rejection risk by consumers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the volatile flavor compounds of Ligularia stenocephala and Ligularia fischeri, edible wild plants.

Fifty-one volatile flavor compounds were identified in the extracts from L. fischeri and the major compounds were α-pinene, germacrene-D, transcaryophyllene, endo-1-bourbonanol and 1-limonene. The common volatile flavor compounds between two plants were transcaryophyllene, sabinene, β-elemene and β-cubebene etc. However, α-phellendrene and myrcene were identified in L. stenocephala, but were not identified in L. fischeri. However α-pinene, germacrene-D and limonene were identified in L. fischeri but were not identified in L. stenocephala.

This study analyzed the nutritional composition properties of soybeans and the antioxidants, isoflavones, organic acids, and volatile flavor compounds of fermented black soybean products (FBSP). After 24 hours of fermentation, the range of water uptake ratio was 129.00-131.30%, respectively. Total polyphenols content and DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity were higher in Cheongja-3 FBSP, flavonoids in Socheongja, while DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were similar in Cheongja-3 FBSP. Isoflavone contents of aglycones (daidzein, genistein, and glycitein) in Cheongja-4 FBSP increased up to 41.97 μg/g. The rank order of primary organic acids was citric acid > fumaric acid > acetic acid > lactic acid, with Cheongja-3 FBSP being the highest. This study identified a total of 34 volatile aroma-compounds, including seven alcohols, seven acids, seven ketones, five phenols, two esters, one furan, four pyrazines, and one miscellaneous. The result could be applied to determine the suitability of cultivars and the quality of the process used for fermented soybean products.

The purpose of this study was to confirm changes in flavor and taste characteristics of black pepper by combining nonthermal sterilization treatment methods, namely intense pulsed light, cold plasma, and ultraviolet. After treatment, lightness value and hue angle of black pepper were decreased. The difference in chromaticity between samples before and after treatment showed a significant difference of 6.11. The piperine contents before and after the combined nonthermal sterilization treatment were reduced from 28.4±0.25 mg/g to 20.4±1.06 mg/g. The results of an intensity test showed that the color and flavor of the sample became darker and weaker, but hot and pungent were not distinguished after nonthermal treatment. The flavor profile showed that the intensity of cool flavor was decreased, the intensity of nutty taste was increased, and other sensory languages did not show any difference. Although differences in flavor and taste were distinguished in a cooking application, the differences were not significant.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Doenjang made by seven different traditional soybean paste manufacturers, in Chungbuk province during fermentation. The moisture content of Doenjang declined in the process of fermentation, from 58.07~68.86% to 52.32~63.79%. The salinity increased from 7.47~14.38% to 10.42~17.73%. Sample B was the lowest, and G was the highest. The pH showed a tendency to decline from 5.36~6.22 to 4.30~5.66 except for sample F, which increased 6.33~7.10. In contrast, the total acidity showed a tendency to increase from 0.56~1.77% to 1.11-1.83% except for sample F, which declined 0.71%~0.54%. The lightness declined from 44.33~55.90 to 26.68~49.66. However, the redness and the yellowness generally increased. The content of amino type nitrogen generally increased with the progress of fermentation from 93.33~408.80 mg/kg to 314.07~1,258.13 mg/kg and sample D, with Aspergillus oryzae added, was the highest. The volatile flavor compounds of Doenjang had 10~20 types. Sample D had the fewest number of volatile flavor compounds (10 types of compounds), and sample C had the largest number of it (20 types of compounds). Four types of compounds, ethanol, 3-methyl butanal, ethyl acetate, and 3-methyl butanoic acid, were detected from all samples.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics and volatile flavor components of Doonuri wine, using freeze concentration. The freeze concentration can increase the sugar concentration in grape juice by reducing its water content. In this study, after eight days od fermentation, the alcohol content of freeze-concentrated Doonuri wines was 12.5~14.1%. The pH of the wine was 3.42~3.50 and the total acid content was 0.68~0.94 g/100 mL, respectively. The brghtness of freeze-concentrated Doonuri wines was 19.28~54.42, the redness was 41.98~49.58, and the yellowness was 36.16~42.36. The organic acid analysis of Doonuri wines was that most of the organic acids contain tartaric and malic acid. By using freeze concentration with grape juice, significant increase in the total polyphenol content of Doonuri wines was 122.40~137.26 mg/mL, the total anthocyanin content was 117.06~ 118.40 mg/L and the tannic acid content was 66.23~83.70 mg%.

식품의 향기성분은 다른 주성분에 비해 미량으로 존재하지만, 풍미를 반영하는 중요한 지표로 색, 조직감과 더불어 식품의 품질을 평가하는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에는 SPME 추출방법을 이용하여 산고 품종 배주스의 휘발성 향기성분을 추출하여 GC-MS로 향기성분을 확인 및 동정하였다. 총 22종에 향기 화합물이 분리동정되었고, ester류 7종, aldehyde류 9종, ketone류 2종, alcohol류 1종, acid류 1종, furan류 1종 그리고 함황화합물 1종으로 구성되었다. 이 중에서 ethyl acetate, hexanal, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl 3-(methylthio)-2-propenoate, ethyl octanoate and 2-hexenal이 배주스의 주요 향기성분으로 간주되었다. 특히, ethyl acetate의 함량이 13.36~19.60 μg/kg으로 가장 높은 것으로 검출되어 전체 향기성분의 절반 이상을 차지하였다. 또한, 향기성분의 변화를 억제 및 추출능력 향상을 위해 분석용 시료에서 포화 염화칼슘 용액을 첨가하여 그 효과를 검증하였고, 착즙직후 바로 염용액으로 처리한 배주스에서 aldehyde류, acid류, furans류 및 s-compounds류은 유의적인 많은 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 배 원물의 품질저하 혹은 가공으로 발생한 향기 변화를 보완하는데 기초자료로 활용이 가능하며, 배주스를 활용한 가공식품의 향 품질을 향상시켜 고부가가치 가공식품을 개발하여 배의 소비 촉진에 기여할 수 있는 것으로 기대된다.

This study investigated the volatile flavor composition of essential oils from Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura and Aster yomena Makino. The essential oils obtained by the hydrodistillation extraction method from the aerial parts of the plants were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). One hundred (95.04%) volatile flavor compounds were identified in the essential oil from the C. zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura. The major compounds were valencene (10.82%), δ-cadinol (9.77%), hexadecanoic acid (8.70%), 2-methyl-4-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-1-enyl) but-2-en-1-ol (3.67%), and 2-(2,4-hexadiynylidene)-1,6-dioxaspiro[4,4]non-3-ene (3.57%). Ninety-eight (93.83%) volatile flavor compounds were identified in the essential oil from the Aster yomena Makino. The major compounds were and 3-eicosyne (13.61%), 9,10,12-octadecatrienoic acid (7.8%), α-caryophyllene alcohol (6.83%), 9-octadecynoic acid (6.03%), and α-caryophyllene (5.74%). Although the two plants are apparently very similar, the chemical composition of the essential oils was significantly different in quality and quantity. In the case of C. zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura, the sesquiterpene, valencene was found to be 10.82%, but it was not identified in A. yomena Makino. δ-Cadinol appeared higher in C. zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura than in A. yomena Makino. A clear characteristic of A. yomena Makino essential oil is that it has a high content of caryophyllene derivatives. The α-caryophyllene alcohol contained in A. yomena Makino was relatively high at 6.83%, although the compound was not identified in C. zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura. Also α-caryophyllene was shown to be higher in A. yomena Makino than in C. zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura.

The objective of this study was to investigate taste profiles and the correlation of Doenjang soup solution prepared with three different temperatures (5, 25, 45℃) and using an electronic nose (e-nose), electronic tongue (e-tongue), and descriptive analyses by trained panelists. A total of 17sensory attributes were generated from the descriptive analyses for the Doenjang soup solution. There were significant difference among the samples in the cooked soybean flavor, the cooked soybean odor, the soy sauce odor, the sweet odor, the sweet taste, and the sweet aftertaste attributes. The intensities of these sensory attributes tended to increase as the serving temperature of the Doenjang soup solution increased. There were seven volatile compounds detected by the electronic nose: ethanol, propanal, 2-methylpropanal, ethyl acetate, 3-methylbutanal, and beta-pinene. The intensities of the volatile compounds increased as the temperature of the Doenjang soup solution increased. On the other hand, the intensities of the basic tastes by the e-tongue decreased as the temperature of the Doenjang soup solution increased. In conclusion, the e-nose, e-tongue, and descriptive analysis results showed different correlations depending on the temperature of the Doenjang soup solutions.
