This study was aimed to investigate the contents of chemical components and the biological activity of fermented Omija (Schizandra chinensis Baillon.) beverage (FOB), which have not been well known up to now. General compositions and the contents of mineral and vitamin of FOB were lower than Omija before fermentation (OBF). In addition, most sucrose was digested into glucose and fructose in FOB. This suggests that the beneficial contents may be made from general compositions by fermentation, though more evidences are needed. Antioxidant activity of FOB was measured by using 2,2-diphenyl-l-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity and superoxide dismutase-like activity (SODA). DPPH radical scavenging activity and SODA were increased in a dose-dependent manner, and were about 79.7% and 60.8% at four times diluted FOB (25% of FOB), respectively. The FOB also showed strong antibacterial activity on Escherichia coli. Beauty effect of FOB was demonstrated by the analysis of tyrosinase and elastase inhibitory activities, and they were remarkably increased in a dose-dependent manner. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity was about 82% at two times diluted FOB (50% of FOB) and elastase inhibitory activity was 78.2% at five times diluted FOB (20% of FOB). These results suggest that FOB has a strong antioxidant activity, and tyrosinase and elastase inhibitory effects.

The purpose of this study was to improve the quality of the steamed rice cakes added with powder and extract of Schisandra chinensis (SC). Steamed rice cakes were prepared by adding SC using 1% hot-air dried SC powder (DP), hot-air dried SC extract (DE), freeze dried SC powder (FP) and, frozen SC extract (FE). After packaging with nylon/polyethylene films, the cakes were stored at $25^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. The FE-treated steamed rice cake had the lowest pH value. The $L^*$ value of the control cakes was highest immediately after processing and decreased during storage. The $a^*$ values of FP- and FE-treated steamed rice cakes were higher than those of DP- and DE-treated cakes. The $b^*$ values of DP- and DE-treated steamed rice cakes were higher than those of FP- and FE-treated cakes. Total phenolic contents of DP and DE were lower than those of FP and FE. Anthocyanin contents of DP- and DE-treated steamed rice cakes were lower than those of FP- and FE-treated cakes. Schisandrin contents of DP- and FP-treated steamed rice cakes were lower than those of DE- and FE-treated cakes. Ferric reducing antioxidant power assays revealed that DP and DE had lower antioxidant powers than those of FP and FE. The results of this study indicate that, among the treatments methods used, the steamed rice cake treated with FE had the highest functional component and antioxidant activity levels.

Omija tea with a pH range of 2.8~3.0 was stored at $25^{\circ}C$ to study its spoilage due to microbial growth. Titratable acidity was increasing during the storage period in the tea stored with the Omija fruits but not in removed of the fruits after extraction. Microbial cells began to show up earlier in the tea without the fruits than that with the fruits. Four strains of yeasts and a strain of mold were isolated from spoiled Omija tea. Morphological, cultural and physiological characteristics of yeasts were investigated and the yeasts were identified as Rhodotorula rubra, Saccharomyces kluyveri, Cryptococcus hungaricus and Candida humicola. Morphological characteristics of the isolated mold was observed and the mold was identified as Mucor circinelloides f. janssenii.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of sponge cake quality added with different levels of Schizandra chinensis powder. Schizandra chinensis sponge cake was prepared with different levels of Schizandra chinensis (0, 5, 15, 20%). The proximate composition contents of Schizandra chinensis powder were analyzed as composed of 8.732% moisture, 10.25 crude protein, 8.63 crude lipid, and 1.98 crude ash. Results show that the baking loss rate was decreased with levels of Schizandra chinensis powder added, and the height was decreased as the Schizandra chinensis powder increased. As added ratio of Schizandra chinensis powder increased, L and b values were decreased. In addition, the texture properties result showed that the hardness and cohesiveness of sponge cake increased as the Schizandra chinensis powder added, while springiness decreased. Last, the sensory evaluation showed that the group of 5% Schizandra chinensis powder had the highest preference scores. Therefore, Sponge cake added with 5% Schizandra chinensis powder add gave the better taste and quality to sponge cakes in this study.

Physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of omija wines made by traditional method, adding grape juice and sugar solution periodically, and with dry omija were compared. The pH values of all omija wines were ranged $2{\sim}3$ during fermentation. The acidity value of omija wine made by traditional method was 2.5%, that of omija wine made by adding grape juice and sugar solution periodically decreased from 3.3% to 0.8%, and that of omija wine made with dry omija increased from 0.2% to 3.9%. Sucrose and alcohol contents were $6.5{\sim}34.5^{\circ}Brix$ and 12% at the end of fermentation, respectively. The viable cell numbers of yeast decreased from $5.7{\sim}6.9\;\log\;CFU/mL$ to $4.3{\sim}4.6\;\log\;CFU/mL$. Omija wine made by adding grape juice and sugar solution periodically had the highest sensory scores for color, taste, flavor, swallowing, and overall acceptability, and was significantly different from the both omija wines made by traditional method and with dry omija. Because omija is rarely fermented due to the little fermentative sugar content, omija wine made by adding grape juice and sugar solution periodically was shown to be the most appropriate.

This study was conducted to ferment high quality vinegar by using Omija fruit. Strains of bacteria producing acetic acid were isolated from spoiled Omija wine (OV1 and OV2) and traditional rice vinegar (RA). The bacterium was from optimally-oxidized Omija wine containing 6.0% ethanol and from Omija vinegar with 5.21% acetic acid by 14 days of fermentation. The Omija vinegar got the highest sensory score (5.80) among several commercial vinegars. The Omija vinegar showed a potent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas fluorescens by the paper disc test, while Omija wine had limited antibacterial activity against S. aureus and P. fluorescens. The diameter of the clear zone formed by the paper disc test using Omija vinegar was not less than 9.5 mm. The DPPH free radical-scavenging activity of Omija wine was higher than that from Omija water extracts. The nitrite scavenging ability of Omija wine (36.98% of all nitrites present) and vinegar (31.14%) was higher than that from Omija water extracts (22.53%). Omija vinegar exhibited strong antibacterial and antioxidant activities. In conclusion, we prepared high quality vinegar from dried Omija.

The purpose of this research was to characterize physicochemical properties and sensory evaluation of schizandra wines fermented by the yeasts, Sacchromyces cerevisiae SH8094 (S. cerevisiae SH8094) and Sacchromyces cerevisiae SH2855 (S. cerevisiae SH2855) isolated from schizandra fruits and stems and compare these results with the results from commercial activated yeast (Lalvin 1118) and a commercial schizandra wine. Three different schizandra wines fermented by S. cerevisiae SH8094, S. cerevisiae SH2855, and Lalvin 1118 showed similar results in pH and titratable acidity. On the other hand, the schizandra wines fermented by S. cerevisiae SH8094 and S. cerevisiae SH2855 showed high brix ($14^{\circ}$brix), low alcohol content (9%), and low yeasts count (4.1 log CFU/mL), compared with the schizandra wine fermented by Lalvin 1118. Both schizandra wines made with S. cerevisiae SH8094 and S. cerevisiae SH2855 showed higher scores in swallowing and overall acceptability than the schizandra wine made with Lalvin 1118. When compared with a commercial schizandra wine, the schizandra wine fermented with S. cerevisiae SH8094 showed better qualities in aroma ($6.65{\pm}1.47$), color ($7.53{\pm}1.14$), and overall acceptability ($6.76{\pm}1.03$). In conclusion, S. cerevisiae SH8094 which was isolated from schizandra fruits and stems has a high potential in schizandra wine fermentation.

The physiological and microbiological characteristics of various mul-kimchis prepared with omija (Schiznadra chinensis) water extract (1, 2, 3 v/w%) (omija mul-kimchi ) or water (control) were investigated during fermentation for 21 days at $10^{\circ}C$. The pH of omija mul-kimchi was lower than that of control and lowered with increasing the concentration of omija between 1% and 3%. The pH did not change significantly during fermentation in omija mul-kimchi compared with control. The changes in titratable acidity were similar in pH. The change of total microbs and lactic bacteria during fermentation was similar in various mul-kimchis and the viable cell numbers in omija mul-kimchi were lower than in control. The viable cell of mul-kimchi decreased with increasing the concentration of omija water extract. The texture of various mul-kimchi such as hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness and springiness, was decreased but the texture of 1% omija mul-kimchi was maintained significantly higher than that of control during fermentation. The DPPH radical and nitrite scavenging activity of omija mul-kimchi were higher than those of control and the activities increased with increasing concentrations of omija water extract. The sensory quality of 1% omija mul-kimchi showed the highest value in taste and overall acceptability among the tested mul-kimchis.
