The effects of red-potato on the physicochemical properties of kochujang were investigated during fermentation. The number of yeast and aerobic bacteria in kochujang increased up to 4 weeks of fermentation, then the yeast number slowly decreased. Amylase activities also increased after 2~4 weeks of fermentation with the addition of red-potato. The Hunter L-value of kochujang decreased sharply and the a-value increased through the addition of starch syrup, causing major changes in total color difference as the ratio of red-potato increased. There was a direct correlation between the amount of red-potato with water activity and titratable acidity. The oxidation-reduction potential of kochujang decreased sharply after 12 weeks of fermentation, and was lowered with the addition of red-potato. As the ratio of red-potato increased, reducing sugars and ethanol contents of kochujang increased in the later stage of fermentation, while the amino-type nitrogen content was lower. Sensory results showed that a final percentage of 2% red-potato in kochujang was optimal for taste and overall acceptability.

Glucoamylase and ethanol productivities of HSDD-170 and HSDM-119 formed by S. cerevisiae and S. diastaticus protoplast fusion were investigated. For the production of the glucoamylase, soluble starch as carbon source, yeast extract and C. S. L as nitrogen source added into the basal medium were favorable. The production of the enzyme reached at maximum after cultivation of the fusant for 4 days at 3$0^{\circ}C$, aerobically. The properties of glucoamylase produced by fusants were very similar to those produced by S. diastaticus as based on optimum temperature, pH stability. In alcohol fermentation from starch, strain HSDD-170 fermented starch faster than either of its parental strains. The maximum of alcohol yield in 15% of liquefied potato starch was 7.5% (v/v).

To produce ethanol from Jerusalem artichoke powder efficiently, Kluyveromyces marxianus FO43 cells were encapsulated in 2% sodium alginate and were cultured in batch reactor to investigate the fermentation properties. Batch culture of immobilized cells left for 4 days in 15% Jerusalem artichoke medium showed ethanol concentration of 3.38%(w/v) and ethanol yield to theoretical value of 54.20%, lower than 3.76%(w/v) and 71.13% for the culture of free cells. Addition of cellulase to $15{\sim}20%$ Jerusalem artichoke media increased the production of ethanol, owing to remarkable reduction in consistency of the suspension. So it was possible to achieve an ethanol concentration of 5.57%(w/v) arid an ethanol yield to theoretical value of 68.86% in even 20% Jerusalem artichoke medium by cultivation of immobilized cells for 4 days. The alginate beads showed constant ethanol productivity after recycling 11 times (22 days) in repeated batch fermentation.

For the purpose of developing new thermotolerant yeast strains for ethanol fermentation, yeasts were isolated from molasses and screened for their fermentation ability at elevated temperatures. Three candidate strains were screened. These strains preferred pH 5.0 and 34$^{\circ}C$ for their ethanol production. Under such conditions the three strains showed average ethanol productivity of 75g ethanol per liter of fermentation broth in n synthetic medium containing glucose as substrate. These strains were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluveromyces marxianus.

The changes in pH, acid contents and microbial counts were investigated during fermentation of Baikkimchi, a kind of Kimchi without red pepper, and the major microbial groups were also isolated and identified. Immediately after the preparation of Baikkimchi(pH 6.15, acid contents 0.03%), its major microbial group was Gram negative rods, and was composed of Pseudomonas(55%), Enterobacter(40%) and Erwinia(5%). After 2 days of fermentation at 15$^{\circ}C$, the most predominant microbial group was changed to lactic acid bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria showed 1st, 2nd and 3rd stationary phase on its growth curve in 4, 12 and 50 days of fermentation, respectively. At the 2nd stationary phase of lactic acid bacteria(pH 3.51, acid contents 0.59%), the group was composed of Lactobacillus bavaricus(55%), Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides(42.5%) and Leuconostoc paramesenteroides(2.5%), while at the 3rd stationary phase(pH 3.40, acid contents 1.10%), that was Lactobacillus plantarum(65%) and Lactobacillus brevis(35%). The physiological and biochemical characteristics identified as Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides, Leuconostoc paramesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus brevis showed good agreement with the current taxonomic system, but those identified as Lactobacillus bavaricus showed some disagreements. The number of yeast was decreased wit the increase in the number of lactic acid bacteria. Yeast showed stationary phase in 30 days between the 2nd and 3rd stationary phase of lactic acid bacteria, and the group was composed of only gunus Saccharomyces.

Campbell Early grapes were spontaneously fermented with and without sulfiting to investigate the effect of sulfiting on the fermentation characteristics and physicochemical properties of Campbell Early wine. During the fermentation, the increase in the alcohol and the decrease in the soluble solid contents were faster without sulfiting, as was the increase in the yeast viable counts compared to those with sulfiting. However, the final alcohol and soluble solid contents reached similar levels with and without sulfiting. The PCR-RFLP analysis of the yeast in the ITS I-5.8S-ITS II region revealed that the increase in the S. cerevisiae was faster in the initial fermentation stage and reached a slightly higher level in the late stage with sulfiting than without sulfiting. The wine prepared after the fermentation with sulfiting showed higher malic and tartaric acid contents, as well as methanol, acetaldehyde, and n-propanol contents, than the wine prepared without sulfiting. The ethyl acetate content of the wine without sulfiting was 375.5 mg/L, which was 5.3 times higher than that (70.5 mg/L) with sulfiting. In the sensory evaluation, the wine without sulfiting obtained higher scores in flavor and overall preference than that with sulfiting.

The fermentative conversion of food wastes into feed was investigated by seeding of mixed inoculum YM (Youngjin Environmental co.), and thermotolerant yeast Kl. marxianus. For 6 days' fermentaion, the fermentation method of 2 days' aerobic followed by 4 days' anaerobic was better for the production of organic acids and increasing total microbial population than 6 days' continuous aerobic or anaerobic fermentation. By seeding YM, the total microbial count increased about 100 times of the control group. In addition, Kl. marxianus seeding together with YM increased total viable cell count, but did not increase yeast count significantly.

The microbial changes during the fermentation of salted and fermented shrimp at different salt levels $(3{\sim}30%)$ were investigated to elucidate the effect of salt on the microflora of the fermented shrimp. During 22 weeks of fermentation, the numbers of total bacteria and yeasts of the fermented shrimp with 3, 8, 30% salt generally decreased with fermentation time, while those in the fermented shrimp of 18% salt increased. Halophilic bacteria were found only in the late stage of the fermentation at 18% salt. The greatest number of the halophilic yeasts was observed also at 18% salt level. The results indicated that 18% salt provided the most favorable environment for the microorganisms related to the shrimp fermentation.
