Abstract

In other to produce vinegar using Schizandra chinensis Ballon(omija), acetic acid bacteria(AAB) were selected from several conventional vinegars, and total 30 acetic acid bacterial strains were isolated. Among the isolated strains, a strain was selected from medium containing omija juice which showed the highest productivity of acetic acid. The strain was identified as Acetobacter sp. C5-1b. Optimum conditions for acetic acid production of Acetabacter sp. C5-1b were involved with 30t: of fermentation temperature and shaking culture. The acidity of culture medium was reached to 5.3% after 8 days shaking cultivation at 30℃.
