The scope of IoT use has expanded due to the development of related technologies, and various sensors have been developed and distributed to meet the demand for implementing various services. Measuring alcohol concentration using a sensor can be used to prevent drunk driving, and to make this possible, accurate alcohol concentration must be measured and safe transmission from the smartphone to the server must be guaranteed. Additionally, a process of converting the measured alcohol concentration value into a standard value for determining the level of drinking is necessary. In this paper, we propose and implement a system. Security with remote servers applies SSL at the network layer to ensure data integrity and confidentiality, and the server encrypts the received information and stores it in the database to provide additional security. As a result of analyzing the accuracy of alcohol concentration measurement and communication efficiency, it was confirmed that the measurement and transmission were within the error tolerance.

The purpose of this study was to investigate alcohol content of commercial Korean fermented sources and to analyze the quality parameters such as titratable acidity, pH, salinity, reducing sugar, alcohol and yeast cell count. Eighty-seven samples of Doenjang, 68 samples of Kanjang and 57 samples of Kochujang were collected and divided into conventional and improved products depending on manufacturing method. As a result, the titratable acidities of conventional Doenjang, Kanjang and Kochujang were 1.72, 1.23 and 1.25%, and those of the improved products were 1.87, 1.80, and 1.00%, respectively. The pH values of conventional Doenjang and Kochujang were lower than those of the corresponding improved products and the pH of conventional Kanjang was higher than improved products. The salinities of the conventional products were higher than the improved products, and an the reducing sugar and alcohol content of the conventional products were lower than the improved products. The detection rate of alcohol (above 1%) in conventional Doenjang, Kanjang, and Kochujang were 6, 10 and 39%, respectively while the corresponding improved products showed much higher rates of 100, 76 and 100%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the yeast cell count between the alcohol-containing products and the alcohol-free products. Accordingly, further study is necessary to develop a manufacturing method using non-degradable sugar and salt control to reduce the production of alcohol in Korean source.

The purpose of this study is to develop a distilled soju with high quality and stable brewing technology by analyzing the changes of general components and volatile components in the production of distilled soju by the use of fermentation agent such as koji and nuruk. White rice flour was used as a main raw material. White koji, yellow koji, traditional nuruk, and improved nuruk were used as a fermentation agent respectively. Also, yellow koji, traditional nuruk, and improved nuruk were added at a certain ratio to prepare white koji. The distillate was prepared by vacuum distillation and the quality characteristics were compared and analyzed. When the fermentation agent was used alone, the alcohol content was higher in the order of white koji, improved nuruk, yellow koji, and traditional nuruk. The initial acidity was higher than that of other fermentation agents and the highest alcohol content was found to be helpful for stable brewing. The highest content of higher alcohol was found in the yellow koji mash, and ethyl acetate was the highest in the traditional nuruk. When the fermentation agents were mixed, there was no difference in the alcohol content between $1^{st}$ fermentation mash and $2^{nd}$ fermentation mash. On the other hand, the content of higher alcohol was increased with the increase of the input ratio of yellow koji, and it decreased with the increase of the ratio of traditional and improved nuruk. It is expected that it will be possible to manufacture various distilled soju with different flavor and aroma if the yellow koji and the traditional nuruk are appropriately used based on the white koji having excellent fermentation characteristics and it will be very helpful for improving the stability and quality of brewing.

This study was conducted to test the fermenting of high quality vinegar using Wasabi japonica Matsum leaves. Alcohol fermentation with Wasabi japonica Matsum leaves resulted in the reduction of sugar and sugar alcohol content during fermentation, which decreased sharply over 3 days. The alcohol content was maximized (15.4%) after 8-days of alcohol fermentation at $27^{\circ}C$ by adjusting the initial sugar concentration to $27^{\circ}Brix$, and vinegar with an acidity of 5.1% was obtained after 21-days of acetic acid fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$. The pH was shown to be 3.5 after 21-days of acetic acid fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$. Regarding the color of Wasabi japonica Matsum leaves vinegar, the L and b values increased according to fermentation time, whereas a color values decreased. In conclusion, based on the above results, it is determined that the use of Wasabi japonica Matsum leaves allows for the production of high-quality vinegar.

The effects of alcohol concentration (30% 45% and 60%) on quality changes of maesil (Prunus mume) liqueur during leaching and ripening for 5 months were examined. Total acidity, pH and color of the liqueur generally increased with an increase alcohol concentration for 2 months. Thereafter the significant change did not occur. The contents of reducing sugar and polyphenol in the liqueur increased with an increase alcohol concentration and ripening periods. The major components of free sugar in maesil liqueur were fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose. The content of fructose and glucose were higher than those of sucrose and maltose regardless alcohol concentration. Sucrose and maltose did not detect in the liqueur after leaching and ripening for 2 months. The major components of organic acid in maesil liqueur were citric, lactic, malic, and acetic acids. The optimal alcohol concentration was 45% and the duration of leaching and ripening was about 2 months for production of high-proof maesil liqueur.

Over-consumption of alcohol leads to many side-effects such as malnutrition, liver disease, and neuronal disorders and many investigators have tired to identify methods for preventing the side-effects of drinking. In this study, we demonstrated the protective effect of a new food component, SAC-1, containing Hovenia dulcis Thumb and Lonicera caerulea Thumb extract against the side-effects of drinking. We observed that blood alcohol concentration, glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase, lipid peroxidation, and total glutathione level decreased significantly in plasma and liver of mice fed the SAC-1 extract before alcohol intoxication. In particular, SAC-1 had more of a protective effect than that of Hovenia dulcis Thumb extract alone. These results suggest that SAC-1 should further be developed to treat alcohol detoxification and stimulate antioxidative potentials.

Manganese dioxide may react with silicon tetrachloride to form manganese(Ⅳ) oxodichloride which reacts subsequently with another molecule of silicon tetrachloride leading to manganese tetrachloride eventually in chlorinated solvents. This in situ generated manganese(Ⅳ) oxodichloride or manganese tetrachloride were found to be very effective for the chlorination of a wide variety of alcohols to the corresponding chlorides. Primary, secondary and benzylic alcohols were converted into corresponding chlorides when treated with silicon tetrachloride in the presence of manganese dioxide at room temperature.
