The present study was conducted to ensure the diversity of domestic solar salt by analyzing the composition and microbiological characteristics of solar salt (from Docho island: DS) and the flower of salt produced in different Korean salt flats (Sinui island: SF, Bigum island: BF, and Docho island: DF). The analyses showed that the moisture content of the three types of flower of salt and solar salt ranged from 10.54~13.82% and NaCl content ranged from 78.81~84.61%. The mineral content of those salts ranged from 3.57~5.51%. The content of insoluble matter in these salts was $0.01{\pm}0.00{\sim}0.05{\pm}0.00%$. The sand content of these salts was $0.01{\pm}0.01{\sim}0.03{\pm}0.01%$. By Hunter's color value analysis, the color of the flower of salt was brighter and whiter than solar salt. The salinity of the flower of salt was a little higher than solar salt as well. The magnesium and potassium ion content of DF was $9,886.72{\pm}104.78mg/kg$ and $2,975.23{\pm}79.73mg/kg$, respectively, which was lower than the content in SF, BF, and DS. The heavy metal content of all salts was acceptable under the Korean Food Sanitation Law. The flower of salt was confirmed to be sweeter and preferable to solar salt. More than 80% of the solar salt crystals were 2~3 mm in size, whereas crystals from the flower of salt were 0.5~2 mm in size. The bacterial diversity of DF and DS were investigated by culture and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) methods. The number of cultured bacteria in flower of salt was approximately three times more than solar salt. By DGGE analysis, major microbes of DF were Maritimibacter sp., Cupriavidus sp., and unculturable bacteria, and those of DS were Cupriavidus sp., Dunalidella salina and unculturable bacteria. The results of DGGE analysis showed that major microorganisms in solar salts were composed of unidentified and unculturable bacteria and only a few microorganisms were culturable.

Alginate with a MW of 1,283 kDa was hydrolyzed with 0.4 M organic acids at $100^{\circ}C$ for 3 hr. Molecular weights of alginates hydrolyzed with organic acids ranged from 7.5 to 53.2 kDa. There was no significant difference in the molar ratio of mannuronate to guluronate in alginates hydrolyzed with organic acids. Acetic add was found to be the most effective organic acid for hydrolysis of alginate. The MW of alginate decreased with increasing concentration and reaction time with acetic acid as a hydrolyzing agent. The correlations between the MW of hydrolyzed alginate and concentration of acetic acid as well as reaction time with 0.4 M acetic acid were plotted and the relevant equations obtained in this study. Polymannuronate and polyguluronate were isolated by pH adjustment of alginate hydrolyzed with 0.4 M acetic add. The molar percentages of mannuronate in polymannuronates isolated from alginate hydrolyzed with 0.4 M acetic acid at $100^{\circ}C$ were increasing in proportional to the reaction time such as 75% for 1 hr, 90% for 3 hr, and 98% for 5 hr of reaction time.

This study was carried out to investigate characteristics of acetic acid bacteria for persimmon vinegar fermen-tation. Acetic acid bacteria were isolated from statically fermented vinegar. Microscopically the cells appeared as non-motile and non-flagellated, preferentially occuring in pairs. Isolated strains were able to grow in the presence of acetic acid, ethanol, and glucose. Four of them produced 2-ketogluconic acid but did not produce 5-ketogluconic acid. The four strains isolated from statically fermented vinegar were considered to be grouped into Acetobacter. The strains were inoculated into persimmon juice for persimmon vinegar fermentation. They produced acetic acid in the range of 5.25$\∼$5.68$\%$.

For effective utilization of butter clam shell as a natural calcium resource, the optimal conditions for preparation of calcium acetate (BCCA) with high solubility were determined using response surface methodology (RSM). The polynomial models developed by RSM for pH, solubility, and yield were highly effective in describing the relationships between factors (P<0.05). Increased molar ratio of calcined powder (BCCP) from butter clam shell led to reduction of solubility, yield, color values, and overall quality. Critical values of multiple response optimization to independent variables were 2.70 M and 1.05 M for acetic acid and BCCP, respectively. The actual values (pH 7.04, 93.0% for solubility and 267.5% for yield) under optimization conditions were similar to predicted values. White indices of BCCAs were in the range of 89.7~93.3. Therefore, color value was improved by calcination and organic acid treatment. Buffering capacity of BCCAs was strong at pH 4.88 to 4.92 upon addition of ~2 mL of 1 N HCl. Calcium content and solubility of BCCAs were 20.7~22.8 g/100 g and 97.2~99.6%, respectively. The patterns of fourier transform infrared spectrometer and X-ray diffractometer analyses from BCCA were identified as calcium acetate monohydrate, and microstructure by field emission scanning electron microscope showed an irregular form.

To effectively isolate acetic acid bacteria for producing makgeolli vinegar, various products were researched, and Acetobacter pasteurianus CK-1, a strain that is excellent in acetic acid production, was finally isolated. The optimal growth temperature of the isolated strain was confirmed to be 30℃, and it grew well in the pH range of 5.5~6.5, with optimal growth at pH 6. A. pasteurianus CK-1 had the most active proliferation when the initial ethanol concentration in the medium was 4%, and growth was possible even at an ethanol concentration of 7%. When inoculating the isolated strain into makgeolli to induce acetic acid fermentation, the pH at the beginning of fermentation was 3.54, which was gradually lowered to 2.77 after 18 days of fermentation. The acidity was 0.75% at the beginning of fermentation and gradually started to increase from the 4th day of fermentation. The final acidity at the end of fermentation was 5.54%. In the vinegar fermented by inoculating A. pasteurianus CK-1, acetic acid content was detected to be as high as 3,575.7±48.6 mg%, and the malic acid and citric acid contents were 2,150.8±27.6 and 55.8±3.7 mg%, respectively. Further, it was confirmed that the content and ratio of the organic acids produced significantly differed depending on the type of inoculated bacterial strain. During acetic acid fermentation, the populations of yeast and A. pasteurianus CK-1 were inversely changed. In the initial stage of fermentation, yeast dominated, and after 10 days of fermentation, A. pasteurianus CK-1 slowly proliferated and reached stationary phase.

Volatile antimicrobial compounds, isothiocyanates (ITCs), were compared their antimicrobial activity against 9 strains, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli, Erwinia carotovora, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans, Aspergillus oryzae and Penicillium roqueforti. And synergistic antimicrobial effect of ITCs was examined with acetic acid. Allyl isothiocyanate (AIT), benzyl isothiocyanate (BIT), and ethyl isothiocyanate (EIT) were more effective than other ITCs. MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) of these compounds was $100{\sim}200\;{\mu}g/dish$ against microorganisms tested and their inhibitory actions were more effective in order of fungi>yeast>Gram-negative bacteria>Gram-positive bacteria. MIC of acetic acid was $50{\sim}500\;{\mu}g/dish$ as lower concentration than ITCs. Using a mixture of volatile antimicrobial compounds and acetic acid, the synergistic effect was increased in $2{\sim}10$ times than ITCs used solely.

Phosphorylation of soy protein by sodium trimetaphosphate and acetylation of soy protein by acetic anhydride were performed. Then, the functional properties of modified soy proteins were compared with that of unmodified soy protein. Isolated soy protein prepared from defatted soybean flake had protein content of 92.7% as moisture-free basis. The phosphorylated soy protein showed higher solubility, foaming properties, and water holding capacity than unmodified soy protein. Acetylation of soy protein increased emulsification activity and foaming properties greatly, whereas decreased the solubility at pH 8.0. Isoelectric pHs of phosphorylated and acetylated soy protein were shifted to acidic regions(pH 3.0 and pH 4.0) from pH 5.0, which was the isoelectric pH of unmodified soy protein. Soy protein seems to be aggregated during phosphorylation and acetylation procedure, judging form Sepharose CL-4B gel filtration profiles. The modified soy proteins showed increased mobilities to anode direction in disc-gel electrophoresis.

To investigate the effect of Acetobacter on qualities of potato vinegars, potato vinegars were produced through acetic acid fermentation using 3 Acetobacters such as Acetobacter sp. PA97, Acetobacter sp. PA96 and Acetobacter pasterianus JK 99. There were little difference in pH(2.90∼3.09) and total acidities(5.30∼5.60%) of 3 potato vinegars. However potato vinegar(II) fermented by Acetobacter sp. PA96 showed a little difference in color values with other potato vinegars. Except acetic acid in each potato vinegars, the contents of citric acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid were high in potato vinegar(I), malic acid in potato vinegar(II) and lactic acid in potato vinegar(III). The contents of glutamic acid alanine, histidine and proline were high in all potato vinegars. The major volatile components in 3 potato vinegars were acetic acid, isoamyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 3-methyl-butanoic acid and phenethyl alcohol. Also composition ratio of volatile components was a little difference among 3 potato vinegars.
