The effects of alcohol concentration (30% 45% and 60%) on quality changes of maesil (Prunus mume) liqueur during leaching and ripening for 5 months were examined. Total acidity, pH and color of the liqueur generally increased with an increase alcohol concentration for 2 months. Thereafter the significant change did not occur. The contents of reducing sugar and polyphenol in the liqueur increased with an increase alcohol concentration and ripening periods. The major components of free sugar in maesil liqueur were fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose. The content of fructose and glucose were higher than those of sucrose and maltose regardless alcohol concentration. Sucrose and maltose did not detect in the liqueur after leaching and ripening for 2 months. The major components of organic acid in maesil liqueur were citric, lactic, malic, and acetic acids. The optimal alcohol concentration was 45% and the duration of leaching and ripening was about 2 months for production of high-proof maesil liqueur.

In order to evaluate the possibility as cooking alcohol (Mirim) and tendering materials, kiwi wine and kiwi liqueur were added into braising mackerel and beef. The result showed that the crude proteolytic enzyme activity was high in kiwi wine and liqueur at 91.02 and 87.56% respectively. The trimethylamine (TMA) content in braising mackerel was 6.60, 4.80 and 5.79 mg% in control group, kiwi wine group and kiwi liqueur group, respectively. Sensory test of boiled mackerel gained high score in kiwi wine and kiwi liqueur stoups compared with control group The tendering effect in beef was high in kiwi wine and kiwi liqueur groups compared with control group. Thus, kiwi wine and kiwi liqueur could be used as cooking alcohol.

The effects of the ratio of 45% alcohol and Maesil(Prumus mume) (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, w/v) on quality changes of Maesil liqueur during leaching and ripening for 5 months were examined. Total acidity increased with an increase ratio of Maesil and leaching and ripening periods. The pH increased as increase ratio of alcohol. The color of liqueur became dark as an increase ratio of Maesil and leaching and ripening periods. The contents of alcohol after leaching and ripening for 2 months were 24.3%(1:1), 32.2%(1:2), and 36.0%(1:3), respectively and decreased as an increase the ratio of Maesil. The contents of reducing sugar and polyphenol in the liqueur increased with an increase ratio of Maesil and leaching and ripening periods. The major components of free sugar in the liqueur were fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose but sucrose and maltose did not detect regardless the ratio of Maesil after leaching and ripening for 2 months. The major components of organic acid in the liqueur were citric, lactic, malic, and acetic acids. The total amount of organic acid increased as an increase the ratio of Maesil but the changes of individual organic acid in the liqueur contained different ratio of Maesil showed the different tendency each other.

Optimum extraction conditions were investigated for the manufacture of Kiwi liqueur. Eight-weeks of storage was found to be the optimal extraction time for unsliced fruit, but 4 week of storage was found to be optimal extinction time when the fruit was sliced into 4 pieces. There were no changes in the brix, pH and total acidity during extraction. However 24.92 ppm of methanol and acetaldehyde was detected after extracting the liqueur after 8 week extraction time when the fruit was sliced into 4 pieces. The sensory evaluation showed the highest over all acceptability. The Kiwi liqueur was contained 48.90 mg% of total phenolic compounds, 16.7 mg% of vitamin C, 1.77% of malic acid, 1.18% of fructose, 1.12% of glucose and 0.08% of maltose at the optimum extraction conditions. The sensory quality of the Kiwi liqueur was estimated to be best when 0.035% of stevioside, 0.0085% of citric acid and 0.005% of salts were added to the Kiwi liqueur.

Free amino acids and volatile compounds of fresh garlic and its liqueur were investigated to search elution profile of those components as basic data for development of garlic liqueur. The garlic was soaked in 20% alcohol solution and then sampled every week for 5 weeks. The major free amino acids were L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, L-arginine, L-alanine, L-proline, L-asparagine and L-serine. Neutral amino acids such as L-threonine, L-proline, L-valine and L-leucine, and aromatic amino acids such as tyrosine and phenylalanine were eluted over 80% of those content in fresh garlic after 3 weeks of soaking, but acidic, basic and sulfur containing amino acids were below 80% even after 5 weeks. Sulfide compounds such as diallyl trisulfide, diallyl disulfide, methyl allyl disulfide, 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithi in, 3-vinyl-3,4-dihydro-1,2-dithiin, 3,5-diethyl-1,24-trithiolane, isobutyl isothiocyanate and diallyl sulfide were identified as major volatile compounds of fresh garlic by using GC/MS. Among volatile compounds of fresh garlic, allyl alcohol, diallyl disulfide, 3,5-diethyl-1,2,4-trithiolane, diallyl trisulfide and 3,4-dimethoxy furan were eluted to liqueur, but those compounds except 3,5-diethyl-1,2,4-trithiolane were lowered in liqueur during soaking. Furfural, 5-methylfurfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, dimethyl pyrazine, furfuryl alcohol, 3-hydroxy-2-bytanone and 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyr-an-4-one were generated newly and their content increased in liqueur during soaking.

We manufactured a liqueur containing Cordyceps extract. 21 kinds of the liqueur were manufactured and analyzed the cordycepin content, cordycepin stability and alcohol content. Cordycepin content was detected up to $58{\mu}g/mL$ in DL-3(adding Cordyceps militaris and leached for 3 months). Results of Alcohol content analysis, Methanol was not detected in all samples. Ethanol contents showed at 31.4% from the Leaching process for 3 months after distillation, and at 17.2% from the rice wine adding Cordyceps militaris 8 g. In the results of the Cordycepin content stability analysis, the Cordycepin content decreased during storage period little by little, so our considered opinion is that the cordycepin content should be increased slightly when producing as products.

Quality changes of kimchi added with 10 or 20% Prunus mume liqueur byproduct (PLB), obtained after producing Prunus mume liqueur. during fermentation at $10^{\circ}C$ for 25 days were investigated. The pH and titrtable acidity in 20% PLB added kimchi were changed more gradually during fermentation for 25 days compared to control. Total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria counts in kimchi added with 20% PLB were lower than those of control during fermentation for 15 days. Kimchi fermentation was delayed about 10 days with 20% PLB. L and a values of kimchi added with PLB decreased but b value increased with increasing the concentration of PLB. In the sensory evaluation of kimchi fermented for 10 days, the texture score of PLB added kimchi was higher than that of control, and increased with increasing the concentration of PLB. There were no significant differences (p < 0.05) in overall acceptability among control kimchi and PLB added kimchi.

This study was performed for obtaining optimal extraction conditions to produce peach liqueur containing chitosan. Alcohol content of unsliced fruits was the largest recording 30% after extracting for 8 weeks and those of fruits sliced into four pieces were high recording around 28% after extracting for $6{\sim}8$ weeks. Sugar content was $11{\sim}13^{\circ}Brix$, total acidity was around 0.2% and pH was about 4.8. While soluble solids content was around 2.8% in unsliced fruits with a little change of the content, those of fruits sliced into four pieces were ranged from 2.8% to 3.1% and showing a tendency that longer extraction time increased the content. Brownness of unsliced fruits and fruits sliced into four pieces were $0.33{\sim}0.54$ and $0.56{\sim}0.73$ respectively. Total phenol content showed a similar tendency with brownness and the total phenol content of sliced fruits was higher than that of unsliced fruits by only around 0.2 mg%. When peach liqueur was made by extracting unsliced fruits massively by following conditions set above, methanol content grew with longer extraction time but the difference was not significant and the content was detected to be extremely small recording about 50 ppb. Among organic acids, oxalic, malic and citric acids were found, and fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose were detected as free sugars. In conclusion, extracting unsliced fruits for 8 weeks as extraction conditions showed an excellent quality in overall for peach liqueur containing chitosan.

This study reports the use of different inducing agents (olive, soybean, and used frying oils) and culture mediums [synthetic medium (SM), whey protein, and corn steep liqueur (SL)] to optimize the production of lipase by Fusarium oxysporum. A relationship among the inoculum size, presence of a fat source, fungal growth, and lipase production was evident during the fermentation. The best results were achieved when the inoculum was grown in SM or SL and the fermentation was developed in SM with frying oil as the inducing agent. The maximum activity (about 15 U/mL) was obtained after a 72 hr cultivation.
