The fermentation process of Andong Sickhae including optimal composition of the product was investigated. Through sensory evaluation and ingredient analysis of ten samples prepared in the laboratory and the samples collected from Andong region, we found that the ratio of ingredient of the product by weigh are as follow : [glutinous rice(80) : malt(50) : radish(100) : water(500) : ginger(8) : red pepper(4)]. The level of nitrogen compound turned out to be low while that of soluble protein and salt soluble protein was high. The content of total sugar and reducing sugar was found to be considerable high and among the free sugar, maltose was the highest(80%), followed by glucose and maltotriose. Activities of acid protease and saccharogenic amylase were 1.55 unit per milliliter and $12.5D^{40}_{30}^{\circ}$ respectively. Results of sensory evaluation showed that the good Andong Sickhae turned out to have well harmonized taste of flavor, sweetness and sourness while the color looked slightly red.

The optimum culture condition of the strain for the production of alkaline protease was as follow : 2% soluble starch, 0.2% yeast extract, 0.1% $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, 0.2% $MgSO_4$, pH 7.5, $35^{\circ}C$ and 20h rs. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme action of alkaline protease producing Bacillus subtilis globigii CCKS-118 were pH 9.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was relatively stable at $pH\;6.0{\sim}9.0$ and at temperature below $40^{\circ}C$. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by $Hg^{2+}$ whereas $Cu^{2+}$ gave rather activating effects on the enzyme activity. The enzyme was inhibited by phenylmethane-sulfonyl fluoride indicating serine pretense metal ion group are required for the enzyme activity. Km value was $1.242{\times}10^{-4}M$, $V_{max}$ value was $25.99\;{\mu}g/min$. This enzyme hydrolyzed casein more rapidly than the hemoglobin.

We empolyed gel filtraction, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, amino acid autoanalyzer, thin layer chromatography for determining protein and lipid composition in walnut. The walnut contained 22.18% of crude protein and 64.23% of crude lipid. Glutamic acid (38.60%) was the major amino acid in soluble protein, followed by arginine and aspartic acid. The sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed 12 band in soluble protein of walnut, and collection rate of main protein fraction purified by Sephadex G-150 was 60.67%. The molecular weight for the main protein was estimated to be 43,000. The lipid fraction obtained by silicic acid column chromatography were mainly composed of about 93.05% neutral lipid, whereas compound lipid was only 7.0% level. Among the neutral lipid by thin layer chromatography, triglyceride was 82.05%, sterol ester and free fatty acid were 3.86% and 4.80%, repectively. The predominant fatty acids of total and neutral lipids were linoleic acid $(64.48{\sim}69.98%)$ and oleic acid $(13.89{\sim}15.36%)$. The major fatty acids of triglyceride separated from neutral lipid were linolenic acid (69.98%).

A functional and taste related composition was determined to investigate the possibilites of developing a highly functional beverage from Chungdo Bansi, Sangju Dungsi and Byue during growth. Moisture content decrease continously from 77.9% to 80.1% at the begining of May during growth. Crude protein and fat contents in the three species gradually increased according to growth until August. There ware four sorts of free sugar components which were sucrose, glucose, fructose and raffinose in the three species. Buyu's sucrose content was each 1378, 143 times higher than Chungdo Bansi and Sangiu Dungsi by the standard of July. Vitamin C content in the three species gradually increased form the flowering time and was the highest content in July. The sorts of free amino acids in persimmon leaves were detected eighteen free amino acids in all three species. As a result, the materials of persimmon leaves exhibited the highest component from June to July and Buyu of them excelled in a lot of composition.

The changes in life style these days appear in many ways. Many housewives turn away from home preparation of the time consuming traditional foods, such as Andong Sikhe. The importance, however, of succeeding the traditional cuisines is getting appreciated widely now a days. A traditional Andong Sikhe in Korea, was prepared and fermented at $5^{\circ}C$ in order to analyze the taste and flavor compounds. Major flavor components were identified as camphene, sabinene, 1-(1,5-dimethyl-4-hexyl)-4-methyl-benzene, ${\alpha}-zingibirene$, farnesene, 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methyl-phenol, ${\beta}-sesquiphellandrene$, calalene, tetradecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid and 9,12-octadecanoic acid by GC and GC/MS. Lactic acid and increased from 0.49 mg/100 g in the initial stage to 19.37 mg/100 g at the 6 days of storage. The pH of product decresed to 3.7 from 5.4 after the 6 days of storage but the total acidty reached to 0.41% during fermentation and storage at $5^{\circ}C$.

Rhizopus oryzae CJ-2114 was selected for its strong polygalacturonase activity among various strains of mold found in soil. The optimum pH for the enzyme activity was 4.0 and optimum temperature was 4$0^{\circ}C$. The activation energy for the polygalacturonase was calculated by Arrhenius equation was 2.048㎉/㏖. The reaction of this enzyme followed typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics with the Km value of 54.05mM with the $V_{max}$ of 13.9m mole/min. The enzyme is relatively stable in acidic condition. The activity of polygalactur-onase was inhibited completely by C $u^{2+}$, P $b^{2+}$ and Z $n^{2+}$, $_Mn^{2+}$ at concentration of 1 mM. The enzyme can be inactivated by the treatment with maleic anhydride and iodine. The results indicate the possible involvement of histidine at active site. When polygalacturonase from Rhizopus oryzae CJ-2114 was reacted with poly-galacturonic acid as a substrate mono-, di-, and oligogalacturonic acid were produced at early and mono-, digalacturonic acid produced at late incubation time. time.

The enzyme was relatively stable at $pH\;6.0{\sim}8.0$ and at temperature below $40^{\circ}C$. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by $Ag^{2+},\;Hg^{2+},\;Cu^{2+}$, p-chloromercuribenzoic acid and Iodine. These results would indicate the presence of -SH groups in the catalytic site of the enzyme. Km value was 1.9 mM for $p-nitrophenyl-{\alpha}-D-galactopyranoside$ and Vmax value was $9.66{\times}10^2\;{\mu}M/min$.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimum mashing and maturing conditions for Korean traditional Kanjang(soy sauce) production and to reduce the fermentation period. The effects of maturing time of soy sauce mash, maturing temperature, salt concentration and the ratio of Meju to salt brine on the quality of Kaniang(total nitrogen, pH and color) were examined. Soy sauce pigments and about 90% of N constituents contained in soybean Meju(Koji) in soy sauce mash were degraded and solubilized into liquid portion (soy sauce) of the mash within five days of maturing at $30^{\circ}C$ with the mashing ratio(weight/volume) of 1 : 4 of soybean(as raw soybean) to 20% salt brine. No remarkable effects of soy sauce maturing temperature in the range of $5^{\circ}C{\sim}30^{\circ}$ on the digestion and solubilization of N components and pigment extraction during five days of soy sauce mash maturing were observed. Optimum mashing salt brine concentration for the digestion and solubilization of N components and pigment extraction during soy sauce maturing at $30^{\circ}C$ were observed to be in the range of $15{\sim}20%$. The suitable mashing ratio of Meju to salt brine (wt./vol.) to match N content of the standards of identity of Korean traditional Kanjang(soy sauce) was found to be below 1 : 5.
