As the experimental results of membrane application for the production and recovery of volatile fatty acids, suspended solids concentration, the number of acid producing bacteria and organic acid concentration increased with membrane coupling in the fermenter. The application of membrane for the efficiency increase of solid-liquid separation and fermentation made the number of acid producing bacteria increase in the fermenter, thus acid forming rate showed higher value than that of membrane-free fermenter. Membrane-coupled fermenter was believed to be an effective technology for the improvement of recovery efficiency of volatile fatty acids from organic sludge.

Experiment was conducted to investigate the amount of hydrogen gas and the characteristics of organic acids production from various carbohydrates by anaerobic bacteria. The variation characteristics of organic acids and hydrogen gas production at the fermentative culture were also studied in the presence of heavy metals such as cadmium or lopper. 3.43 mole hydrogen per mole of hexose was produced when sucrose was used as a carbon source. Acetic acid and butyric acid were main products by the anaerobic fermentation. Hydrogen production rate was decreased and formation of acetic acid was increased as the concentration of heavy metals was increased in the medium. The inhibition of hydrogen production by the copper was more serious than the cadmium.

A curd yogurt was prepared from milk added with skim milk powder or four kinds of cereal. Addition of cereals markedly stimulated acid production by Leuc. mesenteroides. The acidity significantly increased during fermentation by Leuc. mesenteroides for 30 hours while pH significantly decreased during fermentation. The number of viable cells markedly increased until the first 12 or 18 hours of fermentation by Leuc. mesenteroides. Acetaldehyde, acetone, ethanol, diacetyl, butanol and acetoin in curd yogurt were detected by gas chromatographic analysis. Among these compounds, acetaldehyde, ethanol, diacetyl and acetoin were produced during fermentation by Leuc. mesenteroides.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of fermentation and quality of Cheongju prepared by mashing using rice Nuruk inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae. Mashes were prepared by fermentation for 30-50 days using different amounts of fermenting agent, brewing water, milling ratios and fermenting temperatures. Adding fermenting agent at 15% resulted in slow fermentation, but a final alcohol content of 17% (v/v), similar to other samples tested. Addition of higher amounts of Nuruk resulted in increased amounts of citric acid, tartaric acid and malic acid, but low levels of succinic acid. Incomplete fermentation occurred when the ratio of brewing water was low, but the alcohol content (17%) of all samples was similar. When the amount of brewing water was high, the organic acid was levels were high. The speed of saccharification and fermentation was low when fermentation was conducted at $10^{\circ}C$, but the final alcohol content was the highest at this temperature. However, the content of n-propanol, isobutanol, isoamyl alcohol and organic acid was low at low temperature. At this time, the content of citric acid and malic acid was low, but the content of succinic acid was high. A higher milling degree resulted in a lower content of alcohol, organic acid and higher alcohols, with 10% milling resulting in a significantly higher content than the other samples.

Genipin was obtained from hydrolysis of geniposide isolated from gardenia fruits with ${\beta}-glucosidase$. Reaction of genipin with glycine, alanine, histidine, lysine, phenylalanine and glutamate in aqueous buffer solution converted colorless starting materials to blue pigments. Effect of pH for the formation of blue pigments was tested using UV/Vis spectrophotometer. The optimum pH for the formation of blue pigments was 7.0. No pigment and trace amounts were formed at acidic (pH 3.0) and alkaline (pH 12.0) conditions, respectively. The amount and tincture of blue color were distinct with different amino acids. In contrast with lysine $({\lambda}_{max}=573\;nm)$, glycine $({\lambda}_{max}=595\;nm)$, phenylalanine $({\lambda}_{max}=602\;nm)$ and alanine $({\lambda}_{max}=595\;nm)$, the reaction of genipin with histidine $({\lambda}_{max}=601\;nm)$ and glutamate $({\lambda}_{max}=601\;nm)$ produced relatively small amounts of blue pigments. Rate constants for the formation of blue pigments from genipin with amino acids at various temperatures $(60,\;70,\;80,\;90^{\circ}C,\;pH\;7.0\;phosphate\;buffer)$ were obtained. Rate constants of genipin with basic amino acids were larger than neutral or acidic amino acids. Arrhenius activation energies of the formation of blue pigments indicated that activation energy of glycine $(E_A=9.8\;kcal/mol)$ was especially lower than those of other amino acids $(E_A=13.3{\sim}15.4\;kcal/mol)$.

This study was conducted to determine the influence of culture conditions such as temperature, time, water content, koji-thickness and agitation on the production of organic acid by Rhizopus sp. ZB9 isolated from Korean Nuruk during the preparation of rice koji, which is used in brewing the Korean rice wines, Takju and Yakju. Rice koji was made under different culture conditions, and the acidity of each koji was tested. The temperature range suitable for the production of organic acid was $28{\sim}32^{\circ}C$, and 36~48 hours of cultivation at that temperature range seemed to produce the optimum results. The production of organic acid increased in proportion to the increase in water content of steamed rice from 25% to 60%. An increase in koji-thickness induced no adverse effects on the production of organic acid, and agitation-work during cultivation showed very beneficial effects.

Laboratory experiments were undertaken in mixing chamber to study the water-in-oil emulsion formation tendency, stability and formation rate of 16 crude oils. Arabian, Iran, Dubai, Isthmus and Daekyung crudes showed high emulsion formation tendency and had water contents of 80-90%. Emulsions of crude oils of middle East were very stable, while Isthmus and Daekyung sudes formed unstable emulsion. Emulsion formation tendency rate, and stability showed significant correlations with asphaltene content of crude oil. To evaluate the possibility of preventing mousse formation, inhibition ability of several dispersants and demulsifier was tested. They inhibited mousse formation at 0.1-0.2% concentrations (v/v). Emulsion inhibition by chemical treatment delayed the time of formation, but did not decrease water content. Demulsifying ability of dispersants and demulsifier was tested because biscous emulsion causes formidable problems in skimming, pumping and recovery operation. British demulsifier Alcohol 0 showed excellent emulsion breaking efficiency at 0.1% of emulsion Vol..

The esterification of alcohols with acetic acid, lactic acid and citric acid was carried out in batch during the second distillation. Effect of various parameters, e.g. pH of reactant base spirit, temperature of distillation, time of distillation were studied. The parameter of distillation temperature was modified by atmospheric distillation and pressure distillation. The pressure(1.9 atm.) distillation was used in order to react and distill at high temperature. Compared with the base spirit concentration, ethyl acetate, ethyl lactate and iso-amyl acetate in esterification distillate increased by 2,890%, 6,410% and 52%, respectively. Major factors of the esterification with organic acids in distilled spirit making were molecular weight of the organic acid and pH of reactant base spirit.

본 연구에서는 현재 우리나라에서 식용으로 많이 쓰이는 식물성 유지인 콩기름, 올리브유, 고추씨기름을 Gas Chromatography를 이용해 각 유지별 지방산의 정성, 정량하였으며 이들 유지의 산화 안정성 평가를 위하여 산화적 반응의 기작의 생성물인 휘발성 분해 산물인 Pentanal 생성을 비교하여 분석하였다. 1. Soybean oil의 지방산 조성은 불포화 지방산은 87.79%, 포화지방산은 12.21%를 차지했으며 Olive oil의 지방산 조성은 불포화 지방산은 82.77%, 포화지방산은 17.23%를 차지했다. Hot pepper oil의 지방산 조성은 불포화 지방산은 85.42%, 포화지방산은 14.58%를 차지했다. 2. 콩기름, 올리브기름, 고추씨기름의 pentane의 함량은 43.4, 30.4, 19.7nL로 측정되었다. 따라서 고추씨기름이 다른 유지에 비해 산화에 대하여 안정함을 알 수 있다. 이상의 결과로부터 실험에 선택된 콩기름, 올리브유, 고추씨기름에는 포화 지방산보다 불포화 지방산의 함량이 많은 것을 알 수 있었고, 특히 체내에서 합성이 불가능해 식품으로 섭취해야만 하는 필수 지방산의 함량이 높아 체내 생체 활동에 유용한 것으로 판단되었다. 산패도 비교 평가에서는 hot pepper seed oil이 olive oil이나 soybean oil보다 낮은 산패도를 나타내어 다른 유지보다 산화 안정성이 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다.
