This study was conducted to determine the effect of feed additives including probiotics, moisture and feed ingredients and the effect of fermented feed on digestibility and volatile fatty acid (VFA) level in finishing pigs. Feed was mixed with microbials including Saccharomyces, Lactobacillus, Enterococcus and Pediococcus together with different levels of probiotics, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3%. Addition of probiotics showed improved fermentation rate after 48 h incubation. To determine the optimal moisture level for fermentation, different levels of water, 30, 40, 50 and 60%, were added into the feed. Fermentation rate of feed with 40~50% moisture level was higher than that from 60% level at 60 h post-fermentation. In vitro fermentation rate of feed ingredients was analyzed by comparing VFA levels. Beet pulp and tapioca showed higher fermentation rate compare to other ingredients including canola meal or rapeseed meal. To determine the effect of administration of fermented feed In vivo, feces from finishing pigs were analyzed. Finishing pigs administrated with fermented feed showed improved digestibility and higher volatile fatty acid (VFA) level. In conclusion, results from the current study indicate that 40~50% of moisture with addition of beet pulp and tapioca in feed is optimal condition for fermentation. Furthermore, our data suggest that fermentation of feed can improve the feed quality and digestibility, thereby provide more nutrient in finishing pigs.

We have investigated industrial media for lactic acid fermentation to reduce the cost of nitrogen sources. Corn steep liquor (CSL) was successfully used at 5% (v/v) in batch fermentations. Use of soluble CSL improved the productivity about 20% with an advantage of clearer fermentation broth. Yeast extract-complemented CSL improved the productivity about 20% with an advantage of clearer fermentation broth. Yeast extract-complemented CSL media further increased the increased the productivity. It was found that 3.1 g/L yeast extract and 5% CSL could be an effective substitute for 15 g/L yeast extract in 10% glucose medium. Brewing yeast was also used as a sole nitrogen source equivalent to 5% CSL. A continuous culture coupled with cell-recycle by microfiltration at the dilution rate of 0.05-0.065 h-1 led to the highest lactic acid productivity. Lactic acid was recovered by electrodialysis from the cell free broth. Depleted cell free broth supplemented with 5-10 g/L of yeast extract performed reasonably in batch and continuous cultures. Reuse of the fermentation broth may reduce the cost of raw materials as well as minimize the fermentation wastes.

We conducted this study to develop a high value black garlic Makgeolli that was made of black garlic extract (BGE) and Sulgidduk. We investigated the quality characteristics of Makgeolli made with three different combinations of materials (control, Sulgidduk only; A, Sulgidduk combined with 15% BGE and water; B, Sulgidduk combined with 15% BGE instead of water). The pH of A and B were higher than the control, but the titratable acidity of A and B were lower. The sugar and alcohol contents of A and B increased during fermentation. A similar growth pattern was observed invisible cells, yeast, and lactic acid bacteria in all three Makgeolli. In A and B, the quantity of lactic acid bacteria was relatively higher than the yeast. The L value (lightness) was highest in the control, and the a value (redness) and b value (yellowness) were higher in A and B. The antioxidant properties of the three types of Makgeolli were evaluated using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis[3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid]) radical scavenging activities. In these assays, B showed significantly higher radical scavenging activities than the other two Makgeolli.

Anchovy soy sauce containing anchovy sauce was ripened in different vessels at 30$^{\circ}C$ for 4 months and measured in physical, chemical, microbiolgical and sensory quality attributes. The used vessels include glass, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), stainless, and onggi (Korean earthenware) with 628 mL. Compared to the other vessels, onggi gave the highest moisture loss, maintained consistently higher microbial counts in total aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, and attained high protease activity in the soy sauce product. Even with high moisture loss the onggi vessel did not produce the higher product salt content than the other vessels because there was salt diffusion outward through the container wall. All of these changes of the product in onggi resulted in lower pH, higher acidity and higher amounts of free amino acids and nucleotides after 4 month period, which was desirable for sensory quality.

The goal of this study was to screen a useful yeast for Korean traditional pear Yakju (KTPY) brewing and develop its brewing process. Cooked non-glutinous rice and nuruk were mixed, and added into pear juice with various Saccharomyces cerevisiae and then fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Among several alcohol fermentation yeasts, ethanol contents was the highest in pear Yakju made by S. cerevisiae K-7 and also showed high ethanol content in pear Yakju which was made by commercial S. cerevisiae C-2. Therefore, we selected S. cerevisiae K-7 and S. cerevisiae C-2 as suitable yeasts for brewing of KTPY. Maximal ethanol production (10.4%) was obtained when cooked non-glutinous rice (100 g) and nuruk (30 sp/g) were mixed and added into pear juice (600 ml) with S. cerevisiae K-7 (5%) and fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days and also its antihypertensive angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity was 57.2%. Addition of antihypertensive starchy materials into the mash was not affected in ACE inhibitory activity and total acceptability of KTPY.

The hydrolyzates of lignocellulosic biomass contain a mixture of glucose, xylose and cellobiose. The yeast which can produce ethanol efficiently from xylose and cellobiose was selected and its growth and ethanol formation behavior on each sugar and their mixture were investigated. Ethanol yields during batch culture of Pichia stipitis CBS 5776 were 0.4. 0.36 and 0.23 g/g substrate on glucose, xylose and cellobiose, respectively. Mixed sugar fermentation data indicate that glucose causes catabolite regulation on xylose and cellobiose utilization. However, xylose and cellobiose were utilized simultaneously. Ethanol yields on mixtures of sugars were generally additive for each of the substrates.

최근에 대두되고 있는 환경오염문제라던가 원유의 의존도 측면에서 볼 때 삼림자원 바이오매스를 원료로 한 bioethanol의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 현재 bioethanol 제조는 효모 등을 이용한 발효법으로 대부분 제조되고 있지만 효소를 이용한 bioethanol 제조를 할 수 있다면 효율이 높은 ethanol생산과 이 반응에서 나오는 반응산물을 간단하게 정제할 수가 있게 된다. 또한 내열성 효소를 이용하여 고온 조건에서 효소반응을 하게 되면 효소반응과 반응산물 증류를 동시에 진행할 수 있으며, 반응속도의 향상과 잡균의 혼입억제 등 여러가지 이점이 기대된다. 본 고에서는 내열성 효소를 이용한 cellulose와 hemicellulose로부터 ethanol 제조 연구에 대한 개요를 살펴보기로 한다.

This study analyzed the physicochemical properties of Danyangju and Iyangju fermented using uncooked germinated brown rice. Total bacteria and yeast from Danyangju and Iyangju showed the maximal value on day 1 of fermentation, but their numbers decreased by the seventh day. On the seventh day, the total bacteria were higher in Iyangju than in Danyangju, but yeast was the lowest in Iyangju. Both Danyangju and Iyangju showed decreased whiteness in color, whereas redness and yellowness increased with fermentation. Sugar contents, reducing sugar, acidity, alcohol, and polyphenol contents increased during fermentation in both Danyangju and Iyangju; this increase was higher in Iyangju than in Danyangju. Iyangju and Danyangju showed gradual increases in α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity until day 5. The γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content increased with fermentation in Iyangju and Danyangju, and Iyangju showed over 10-fold increase after fermentation.

Zinc is an essential trace element in Human Being. Highly zinc containing yeast strain isolated from the tropical fruit, rambutan and the zinc concentration in this yeast strain was 306 ppm (30.6 mg%)per dry matter basis. This strain was found to be a rounded type, normal size, and multi-polar budding. Phylogenetic analysis using the ITS1-5.85 rDNA sequences from isolated strain is most similar to yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae at the level of nucleotide sequence identity at 99%. This strain was produced alcohol by about 12% using fully colonized koji-rice with Aspergillus oryzae. In conclusion, the isolated strain was found to be closely related to the S. cerevisiae based on its morphological and physiological properties, and alcohol fermentation. The phylogenetic analysis of strain FF-10 using ITS 5.8S rDNA sequence data also supported the closely related to the S. cerevisiae. Accordingly, the isolated yeast was named as S. cerevisiae FF-10. Further studies on the best culture conditions for zinc production from zinc-enriched S. cerevisiae FF-10 are under investigation.

Optimization of initial total sugar concentration of sweet sorghum juice, aeration time and aeration rate on ethanol production was performed by response surface methodology (RSM). The optimum conditions for ethanol production from concentrated sweet sorghum juice were determined as follows: initial total sugar concentration, 21.2 Brix; aeration time, 7.66h; aeration rate, 1.22 vvm. At the optimum conditions, the maximum ethanol yield was predicted to be 91.65% by model prediction. Similarly, 92.98% of ethanol yield was obtained by verification experiment using optimum conditions after 48 h of fermentation. This result was in agreement with the model prediction.
