In order to improve foxtail millet wine, a traditional Jeju cereal wine, fermentation characteristics of millet Yakju with different types of Nuruks prepared using isolated Aspergillus sp. and Rhizopus sp. were investigated. When the millet wine was brewed with the Nuruk prepared in this study, the combination ratio of wheat flour: barley : wheat bran : millet = 8 : 1 : 1 : 0 (pellet) showed the highest level of alcohol concentration, and a more favorable score than Kuksundang Nuruk in sensory evaluation. The main organic acids in millet wine were lactic and acetic acids, and the minor organic acids were fumaric, oxalic, citric and malic acids. Analysis of sugar compositions showed that glucose, arabinose, and maltose were present in decreasing order, and that xylose was also detected. Flavor components of millet wine were mainly iso-amyl, iso-butyl and n-propyl alcohols. Ethylacetate and acetadehyde were also detected. The contents of iso-butyl and n-propyl alcohols were higher in the millet wine prepared with Kuksundang Nuruk than those prepared with other Nuruks.

Four kinds of commercial vinegars were investigated to compare physicochemical properties (pH, acidity, color, tannin and metal content), minor components (free sugar, free amino and organic acid), and their organoleptic tastes. The ratio of nonvolatile organic acid to the total organic acid was decreased in the order of brewed, cider, brown rice, and persimmon vinegar. Especially malic acid content was appeared to be highly remarkable in cider vinegar. Glucose and fructose were the predominant components among free sugars regardless of the kinds of vinegar. Free amino acid contents in cider, brown rice and persimmon vinegars have shown a little deviation among the same kind of vinegar samples, but were obviously more abundant than those in brewed vinegars. Color preference, sourness and sweetness of the vinegars were not statistically different (p>0.05) among four kinds of vinegars, whereas overall taste preference, background taste preference and intensity showed significant differences (p<0.05) with respect to the type of vinegar. Brewed and cider vinegars have revealed higher sensory scores in overall and background taste preference than the persimmon and brown rice vinegars. Even though there were no high relationships between minor components and organoleptic taste in commercial vinegars the ratio of acetic acid to the total organic acid was significantly correlated (p<0.01) with the overall taste preference.

In order to brew foxtail millet wine, a folk wine of Cheju, properties of raw materials, optimum brewing conditions were inveatigated. Carbohydrate and crude fat content of glutinuous foxtail millet are 71.27% and 3.47%, respectively. Since the ratio of water to steamed millet and ethanol concentration of wine showed negative correlation, less than 250% water had to added to steamed millet to maintain ethanol concentration in wine above 13%, Sugar consumption and ethanol production increased rapidly for the first 2 days, and main fermentation was done in 4 days. Ethanol concentrations were $13.0{\sim}13.4%$ when foxtail millet was used, and they were $14.0{\sim}14.3%$ for the mixture substrates of 90% millet and 10% rice or barley. Organic acids in millet wine were lactic acid, malic acid and succinic acid. The residual carbohydrates after fermentation were mainly xylose and oligosaccharides. A trace of methanol was detected in millet wine. The content of fusel oil was low, while the concnetration of organic acids was high. Optimum conditions for millet wine-making were as follows. Glutinuous foxtail millet with 10% rice as fermentation source need to be soaked in water and steamed for enough time. Water was added to steamed millet with the ratio of 2 : 1. The resulting mixture was stmnultaneously saccharified and fermented by Aspergillus orzae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae IAM 4274 at $20^{\circ}C$ for a week. Millet wine was prepared after filtering fermented broth while pressing for a week.

The quality characteristics of Yakju and survival rate of yeast were investigated by modifying the drying method for the cold adapted yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y297 (SCY297). Viability and fermentation characteristics of the freeze-dried, air blast-dried, and liquid SCY297 cultures were compared after storing them at $25^{\circ}C$. In addition, 5% skimmed milk, ${\alpha}$-lactose, or trehalose was added as a protective agent for examining the effects of drying methods. During the 15-week storage period, the liquid and freeze-dried SCY297 cultures containing a protective agent showed a survival rate of 80%. However, the air blast-dried SCY297 culture showed 80% survival rate only in the skimmed milk supplemented group. Compared to the untreated cells, the acidity and amino acidity of Yakju prepared using freeze-dried or air blast-dried cultures of SCY297 increased by 2 fold and 5.7 fold respectively, while the alcohol content decreased by 5.07%. Compared to the untreated cells, the pH and amino acidity of Yakju prepared using the liquid culture of SCY297 increased by 1.5 fold and 2.5 fold respectively. Although the alcohol content decreased by 2.9%, decrease rate was lower than that observed for the freeze-dried and air blast-dried yeast cultures. Therefore, the results of this study showed that using a liquid starter culture was more advantageous than using the conventional solid culture.

This paper described on the tracking of an individual fish at the fishing ground of set net by use of a small ultrasonic fish tag. The apparatuses used were composed with a tag, three receivers and two time-interval counter oscilloscope. A pulsed ultrasonic transmitter tag fitted to back of a dorsal fin of a yellowtail specimen, Seriola quinqueradidta TEMMINCK et SCHLEGEL is tracked by measuring differences in the time of arrival of the acoustic pulses at an arrangement of three receivers in the freeding tank. The successive positions of the fish were calculated from the differences in the received time of the signals. A fish carying the tag was tracked in the fishing ground of set net by use of the hydrophone and Loran-C. The results of the tests showed that this method gave good positional information to track the movement of an individual fish in the fishing ground of set net.

This study investigated the brewing properties of rice beer made with yeast isolated from traditional whole wheat nuruk. The experimental method was followed by alcohol fermentation and quality analysis for six months after separating the yeast from nuruk. The yeasts isolated from traditional nuruk showed normal fermentation characteristics, like those of commercial yeast, in terms of alcohol production capability, sugar content, and pH reducing power. Especially, the yeast (KCCM 301) isolated from whole wheat nuruk showed higher contents of glycogen and trehalose than that of commercial yeast, and so KCCM 301 yeast has excellent yeast vitality. Meanwhile, the yeast (KCCM 90301) isolated from traditional Nuruk produced significantly higher alcohol and ester contents than that of commercial yeast. This has a positive effect for supplementing the taste and aroma of rice beer. In conclusion, the yeasts isolated from whole wheat nuruk showed the general alcohol fermentation pattern and aroma content of rice beer. These yeasts seem to be effective in strengthening the flavor of rice beer.

Antioxidative characteristics of melanoidin related products(MRPs) fractionated from fermented soybean sauce were studied during the oxidation process of model systems. MRPs were prepared from soybean sauce fermented for 6 months after inoculation Aspergillus oryzae by the fractionation through the Sephadex G-10 column and the freeze drying of collected fractions. MRPs inhibited the formation of peroxides during the oxidation of linoleic acids mixture in ethanolic phosphate buffer solution at $50^{\circ}C$ with the increasing tendency by their concentration in reaction systems. MRPs had hydrogen doner properties during the reaction with ${\alpha},\;{\alpha}'-diphenyl-{\beta}-picrylhydrazyl$ and also MRPs inhibited the iron and lipoxygenase catalytic oxidation. MRPs were found to be fairly stable with no loss of antioxidative effect after storage at $50^{\circ}C$ for 15days.

This study was undertaken is to isolate brewing yeast suitable for rice beer fermentation from the traditional Nuruk, and to identify the brewing ability of the isolated yeast. After 6 months of research, four brewing yeast isolated from traditional Nuruk showed a normal fermentation pattern in terms of physicochemical data (pH, brix, alcohol content) and higher vitality, as compared to commercial brewing yeast. The concentrations of higher alcohol and ester, that impart the aroma to beer, were 78.4 to 106.5 ppm and 15.1 to 29.3 ppm, respectively. In particular, S. cerevisiae (KCCM 90313) bestowed significantly higher contents of higher alcohol and ester concentrations than rice beer prepared from commercial yeast. We conclude that the four variants of yeast isolated from traditional Nuruk are potentially suitable for manufacturing rice beer. Especially, the S. cevisiae (KCCM 90313) yeast shows excellent yeast activity and aroma production, thereby displaying potential application for manufacturing rice beer in the future.

The cultivars of wine grapes 'Doonuri', 'Narsha', 'Cabernet Sauvignon', and 'Merlot' were cultivated in Modified-T (MT), Modified-T Cane pruning (MTC), and Geneva Double Curtain (GDC) trellises, and the changes in vine growth, fruit and wine characteristics were compared for two years (2018 and 2019). With respect to the vine growth characteristics, the wine grape cultivars cultivated in the GDC trellis were significantly inferior to those cultivated in the MT or MTC trellises. The grape yields of the cultivars cultivated in GDC trellise increased by 1.5 to 2 times cultivated in the GDC trellises compared to those cultivated in the other trellis, however, the fruit characteristics (total soluble solids, titratable acidity, and berry weight) did not differ among the differently cultivated groups. Moreover, the anthocyanin content and red color of the wine were significantly enriched in all red wine grape cultivars cultivated in the GDC trellises.
