This study was conducted to examine the possibility of improvement effect in suppression of precipitation and nasty smell creation in Takju mash. First of all, gum shown to be lowest precipitation velocity was selected and this was applied to the fermentation of Takju mash for comparing with the control in terms of fermentation aspects and various qualities of Takju mash. Precipitation amount and precipitation velocity of suspension in Takju mash added with carrageenan was shown to be the lowest than that of others. Compared with the control, alcohol was highly generated in Takju mash added with carrageenan, especially between two and four days. Total acidity was shown to be highly increased until 2 days in Takju mash and thereafter to be slightly increased. Takju mash added with carrageenan was shown to be lower on the second stage than the control. Fusel oil produced from mash added with carrageenan was 0.046${\sim}$0.113${\mu}$l/ml and mash added with carrageenan generated less fusel oil than the control by 1.6${\sim}$3.2 fold. Yeast growth on the mash added with carrageenan was revealed to be helpful during fermentation periods. In general, sensory characteristics of Takju mash were shown to be more superior in mash added with carrageenan than in other samples. While nasty smell produced from a sample without gums was perceived after 2 days of Takju mash storage, nasty smell of Takju mash added with carrageenan was recognized after 6 days during storage. In conclusion, precipitation of suspension and nasty smell production in Takju mash were found to be suppressed by addition of carrageenan during Takju fermentation.

This study aimed to evaluate the fermentation characteristics of mixed Makgeolli with barley and wheats under, fermentation at different temperatures (20, 25, and $30^{\circ}C$) and time (3, 6, and 9 days). The pH and sugar of mixed Makgeolli were 3.68~4.26 and $12.30{\sim}17.31^{\circ}Brix$, respectively. The total acidity showed proportionate increase with fermentation temperature and time; whereas, reducing sugar contents decreased with increasing fermentation temperature and time. The alcohol contents of mixed Makgeolli varied significantly by fermentation temperature and time (p<0.05). In terms of color values, the L value decreased with increasing fermentation temperatures, and a value increased significantly with increasing fermentation time. The number of microorganisms (yeast, total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria) in mixed Makgeolli decreased progressively with increasing fermentation temperature and time. Among the organic acids (citric, lactic, malic, and pyruvic acids) in mixed Makgeolli, citric and lactic acid was present at the highest concentrations. From these results, the optimum fermentation conditions of mixed Makgeolli with barley and wheat were $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ for 6 days.

Amylolytic filamentous fungus, Aspergillus oryzae and nonamylolytic sugar fermentable yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae were fused by protoplast fusion in order to develope microorganisms having their intergrated function. Aminoacid auxotrophic properties were used as a genetic marker of protoplast fusion, and 35% PEG 4000 was used as a fusogenic agent. Complementation frequengy of fusion was $4.6\times 10^{-6}$ Obtained fusants showed the morphology of yeast strains, the amylase activity and the ethanol productivity. Among the properties of the fusants, morphology and prototrophic property were sustained stably but their ethanol productivity from starch was reduced. Although fusant strains had 0.5-fold ethanol productivity compared to that of S. cerevisiae in glucose medium, they produced ethanol from strach by direct fermentation.

This study was designed to investigate the changes in microflora and enzyme activities of traditional kochujang during aging, which was prepared with a meju fermented for various periods of time. The number of bacteria was highest in all samples after 30 days of fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$, while that of mold in kochujang prepared with a 40-day- or 60-day-fermented meju was highest at 15th day of aging when yeast appeared. The activities of carbohydrases and proteases were highest in kochujang prepared with a 40-day-fermented meju followed by a 60-day-fermented meju. These results suggest that kochujang prepared with a meju aged for 40 days had the highest quality in terms of physicochemical, microbiological and enzyme activities of kochujang during fermentation.

Studies were carried out to investigate the main fermentation microorganisms and their flora changes during Korean native soy-sauce fermentation. Korean native Maeju loaves collected from 5 Do's were separated into surface and inner parts. Four different soy-sauces-the surface part Maeju fermented soy-sauce, the inner part, the surface and inner part combined Maeju fermented soy-sauce, and the semi-Japanese type soy-sauce were fermented and the changes of fermentation microorganism flora and the various chemical components during the period of their fermentations were studied. Besides, 14 home-made soy-sauces collected from 14 different places all over Korea were examined in comparison with the laboratory soy-sauces and to determine the characteristics of Korean native soy-sauce. The results were as follows: 1. The main microorganisms in Korean native soy-sauce fermentation were determined as; Aerobic bacteria: Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus pumilus Lactic acid bacteria: Pediococcus halophilus, Leuconostoc mesenteroides Yeasts: Torulopsis datila, Saccharomyces rouxii 2. Microflora changes during Korean native soy-sauce fermentation were as follows; Aerobic bacteria increased until the 2nd week of fermentation and then gradually decreased. The lactic acid bacteria increased until the 3rd week, after which decreased. When the lactic acid fermentation lowered the pH value to below the 5.4, yeasts were able to grow and participate the fermentation. As the production of organic acids amounted, to a certain height, the growth of all microorganisms lead to the period of decline or death at about the 2nd month of fermentation. After boiling of soy-sauce most microorganisms except a few of Bacillus sp. disappeared. Occosionally yeasts and lactic acid bacteria survived depending upon the composition of soy-sauce. 3. Changes of general chemical components influencing the microflora were investigated for the period of Korean native soy-sauce fermentation. Tetal acidity, salt concentration and total nitrogen were increasing steadily over the entire period of fermentation. pH values were dropping to a certain degree of about 4.5. Salt concentration and pH value seemed to be the important factors influencing the microflora. 4. The microflora were influenced by chemical components of soy-sauce. Aerobic bacteria were able to survive in all soy-sauce as they made spores. Growth of lactic acid bacteria was inhited at 23-26% of salt concentration and pH 4.8. Soy-sauce yeasts started to grow only at pH below 5.4 and seemed to be inhibited at around 26% of salt concentration under pH 4.5-4.7. 5. The open kettle boiling of soy-sauce, the characteristic process of Korean native soy-sauce manufacturing, was effective to sterilize microorganisms, increase the salt concentration, and coagulate proteins. 6. The average viable cell counts of microorganism found in collected samples of home-made Korean native soy-sauces were; Aerobic bacteria: $53{\times}10^2\;cell/ml$ Lactic acid bacteria: 34 cell/ml Yeasts: 14 cell/ml The average values of chemical compositions of samples of home-made Korean native soy-sauce were; Salt concentration: 28.9% pH value: 4.79 Total acidity(lactic acid): 0.91g/100ml Total nitrogen: 1.09g/100ml

This study was carried out to examine the effects of fermentation conditions on the production of erythritol by osmophilic yeast Candida magnoliae. It was found that sucrose was superior to glucose as carbon source and 109 g/L erythritol was produced from 400 g/L sucrose. When yeast extract was used as nitrogen source, maximum values of yield and productivity for erythritol were obtained at 15 and 20 g/L of yeast extract, respectively. A mixture of 15 g/L yeast extract and 3 g/L ammonium phosphate allowed more efficient utilization of sucrose and hence resulted in 149 g/L of erythritol, 0.37 g erythritol/g sucrose of erythritol yield and $0.78\;g/L{\cdot}hr$ of erythritol productivity. A batch fermentation supplemented with 40 g/L KCl resulted in an erythritol concentration of 167 g/L and an erythritol yield of 0.42 g erythritol/g sucrose.

다품종 소량 생산에 적합하고 소비자들에게 신선한 제품을 제공할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 노동력을 절감할 수 있는 등 여러 가지 이점으로 인해 냉동 반죽의 사용이 증가되고 있다. 하지만 냉동 중에 효모와 글루텐이 손상되어 냉동 반죽으로 제조한 빵은 부피가 작고 노화가 빠르게 진행되는 단점을 보인다. 따라서 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위한 다양한 방법이 요구되며 그 중 하나로 보수성과 빙결정 생성 억제능력을 가지는 다당류와 단백질을 첨가하여 그 효과를 살펴보고자 한다. 사용된 첨가물은 다당류로 carrageenan(C)과 sodium alginate(A), 단백질로 whey(W)와 casein(C)이었는데 다당류와 단백질을 각각 1:1로 혼합해서 첨가하였다. 정해진 배합비 대로 반죽을 하고 급속 동결시킨 후 일주일 동안 저장하면서 5차례 냉동-해동을 반복한 반죽을 시료로 사용하였다. 냉동 반죽을 해동시킨 후 발효정도를 측정하기 위해 발효팽창력을 측정하였다. 냉동 반죽으로 식빵을 제조하고 빵의 비용적, 색도를 측정하였고 관능적 특성으로 crumb부분의 색, 대칭성, 균일성, crust의 색, 터짐성을 측정하고 맛, 향, 조직감, 전반적 기호도를 측정하여 냉동 반죽의 제빵 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 3일간 냉장저장하면서 texture와 수분함량을 측정하여 시료에 따른 노화도를 측정하였다. 냉동생지의 발효팽창력에서 WK 첨가구가 23.5, WA 첨가구가 24.75로 CK, CA 첨가구에 비해 3∼4정도 큰 값을 보였으며, 모든 첨가구가 대조구 18.5보다 큰 발효력을 보였다. 식빵의 비용적은 WK 첨가구 3.539, WA 첨가구 3.506, CA 첨가구 3.377, CK 첨가구 3.247, 대조구 3.064 순으로 큰 값을 보였는데 비용적은 발효력과 정의 관계를 보임을 알 수 있었다. 제조당일과 냉장고에 3일간 저장한 빵의 수분함량, 경도를 비교해 보면 수분함량 의 경우, 대조구가 43.63%에서 42.31%로 1.32% 줄어 가장 큰 감소율을 보였으면 CK 첨가구가 45.12% 에서 44.30%로 0.815% 줄어 가장 작은 감소율을 보였다. 그 외 첨가구의 경우 변화율은 1.26∼l.3%로 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 대체적으로 수분함량의 감소가 대조구보다 첨가구에서 작은 것은 첨가제의 보수성에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다. 경도의 경우, CK 첨가구가 0.244kg에서 0.558kg로 0.334 kg증가하였으며 대조구는 0.212kg에서 0.530kg으로 0.318kg증가하여 다른 첨가구에 비해 높은 경도를 나타내었다. CK 첨가구의 경우, 저장 중 수분함량의 감소율이 가장 작은 것과 달리 경도에 있어서 가장 큰 값과 증가 경향을 나타냈는데 이는 CK 첨가구의 빵이 다른 첨가구의 빵의 비용적보다 작은 것과 관련이 있다고 판단된다. 빵 내부의 색도를 측정했을 때 명도 L값은 CA 첨가구가 76.162로 가장 컸고 WA 첨가구가 12.822로 가장 작은 값을 나타냈으며 다른 첨가구와 대조구의 L값은 73∼74의 범위로 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 적색도 a값과 황색도 b값에서 모든 첨가구가 대조구에 비해 낮은 값을 보였다. 색도의 결과와 관능적 특성 중 내부 색의 선호도를 비교해 보면 큰 차이는 없지만 대조구보다 높은 명도값과 낮은 적·황색도값을 가지는 첨가구의 선호도가조금 높음이 확인되었다. 그 외 관능적 특성들에서도 대조구와 첨가구의 빵의 선호도 차이는 크게 군별되지 않았다. 결론적으로 실험에 사용된 첨가제는 냉동변성을 억제시켜 반죽의 발효력과 빵의 비용적을 높이고 또한 노화도를 늦추는등 냉동반죽의 제빵성을 높이는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The effect of sweet potato on the quality of Doenjang was investigated during fermentation. Viable cells of yeast decreased gradually after 4 weeks of fermentation, but those of aerobic bacteria increased in the late stage. Amylase activity of Doenjang was higher in the late stage of fermentation, while neutral protease maintained high activity during fermentation. Hunter L and b values of Doenjang decreased gradually during fermentation, while a value was increased. The pH of Doenjang decreased gradually until 10 weeks of fermentation, and the titratable acidity was low in the sweet potato added groups. The acid value was low in the Shinyulmi sweet potato added Doenjang. Water activity and oxidation-reduction potential of Doenjang decreased during fermentation. Reducing sugar of Doenjang decreased in the middle stage of fermentation, and it was low in sweet potato added groups. The alcohol content of Doenjang decreased after 2 weeks of fermentation. Amino and ammonia-type nitrogen of Doenjang increased during fermentation and reached the maximum after 10 and 12 weeks of fermentation, respectively. After 12 weeks fermentation, 8% of Shinyulmi sweet potato added Doenjang was more favorable taste, flavor and overall acceptability (p<0.05) than the control or the Yeonwhangmi sweet potato added groups.
