| Research Abstract |
We caried out taste test to study the difference of palate between Japanese and Korean people using bonito extract, salted preserve extract, a mixture of extracts prepared from bonito and kelp, and peptides extracted from salted preserve. The samples were dissolved in water and regulated at 0.8% NaCl and 0.5% T-N concentration. Panelists were 50 women in Korean and Japanese colleges. The results were as follows. The women of the Japanese college especially prefered the taste in order of the bonito, the salted preserves, the mixture and the peptides. The Korean women liked the taste in order of the salted preserves, the bonito, the peptides and the mixture. Looking at these results, and considering the amino acid composition and peptide content of the food samples used, it was presumed that the Japanese women might prefere UMAMI taste due to glutamic acid and 5'-ribonucleotide such as inosinic acid, but Korean women would also like the taste of peptide except UMAMI taste.
