The effect of malic acid-degrading yeast on the quality of Gaeryangmerou (Vitis spp.) wine obtained from grapes commonly used for making wine in Korea was investigated. Alcoholic fermentation was carried out at $25^{\circ}C$, for 14 days. A malic acid-degrading yeast was used as the experimental sample and a commercial yeast, Fermivin, was used as a control. The fermentation process for the experimental yeast lasted 2-3 days longer than that of Fermivin. The pH and the volatile acid content of the wine were 3.94 and 244.20 mg/L, respectively. The total acid content was 0.86% for the experimental group and 0.94% for the control group. The contents of malic acid and succinic acid in the experimental group were significantly lower than that of the control group (245.61, 50.18 mg% for experimental group versus 302.44, 68.39 mg% for control group, respectively). In contrast, lactic acid content was slightly higher in the experimental group. As expected, the main volatile flavor compounds of Gaeryangmerou wine varied with the yeast used for fermentation and were determined to be isoamyl alcohol, ${\beta}$-phenethyl alcohol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, and diacetyl for the experimental wine.

This study was carried out to evaluate the quality attributes of soy yogurts prepared by different types of oligosaccharides (fructooligosaccharide, galactooligosaccharide , isomaltooligosaccharide) and Bifidobacteria (B. bifidum B. breve, B. infantis) containing enzyme treated soy protein isolate in terms of pH, titratable acidity, total number of viable cells of Bifidobacteria, ${\alpha}$-galactosidase activity, organic acids, volatile compounds. The pH values of soy yogurts fermented by B. bifidum showed the highest significantly but those fermented by B. infantis showed the lowest significantly, while the titratable acidity of soy yogurts were vice versa. The viable cells of Bifidobacteria of all soy yogurts showed more than 10$\^$9/ CFU/ml and soy yogurts fermented by B. infantis showing below pH 4.6 showed more than 10$\^$9/ CFU/ml after storage at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The activity of ${\alpha}$-galactosidase showed the highest in the culture of B. infantis among the Bifidobacteria tested. Among the Bifidobacteria tested, the contents of lactic acid and acetic acid showed the highest in soy yogurts fermented by B. infantis but citric acid and propionic acid were the lowest. Among the Bifidobacteria tested, the contents of n-hexanal showed the highest in soy yogurts fermented by B. breve and a little amounts of acetaldehyde were present in all soy yogurts.

The solvent extracting of the tobacco has been carried out in order to find out any effects for the removal and/or reduction of nicotine from tobacco without affecting the tobacco flavor. We have now completed the physico-chemical characterization of the solvent untreated/treated tobaccos and 2) the contents of the tar and nicotine in the smoke. The results obtained ate like followings; 1. 3% alcohol extraction reduced the total nitrogen content for the Bright by 36.4%. However, it could not reduce the sugar content. 2. Nicotine content in tobacco leaves was inversely proportional to the dipping time Essentially same results were obtained in anacidic solution and even in a solution containing both alkali and acid. 3. Derivative thermogravimetric(DTG) curves indicated test extraction was effective by removing tobacco leaf components which could decompose or volatilize between the temperature of $150^{\circ}C\;and\;350^{\circ}C$. 4. 3% alcohol extracted leaf have the substantial improvements as following; (1) bulk filling power of 10% and 24% for Burley and Bright tobacco, respectively, (2) combustibility shortening of about 3 minute and 2 minute for Burley and Bright tobaccos, respectively, (3) reduction ratio(%) of nicotine was found to be shout 61.5% and 54.5% for Burley and Bright tobacco, respectively, (4) reduction ratio (%) of tar was obtained to he about 25% and 15% for Burley and Bright tobacco, respectively.

In this study, the effects of feeding providing Holstein cows with with TMR feed including amended with undried citrus byproducts on the properties of their raw milk were investigated. Two samples were used for the experiment: T0 (raw milk produced by dairy cows fed with TMR feed not including citrus byproducts) and T1 (raw milk produced by cows fed with TMR feed including citrus byproducts). The All experiments were conducted with Holstein cows at a dairy farm in the on Jeju island, and were repeated three times, in each, after of which raw milk obtained from 7 cows of each samplein each group was analyzed[ED highlight - please ensure this is correct]. The daily milk yield and somatic cell numbers of T0 and T1 were 24.16 kg and 25.97 kg, and 660,000 thousands and 445,000 thousands, respectively, which means that feeding citrus byproducts to cows increases daily milk yield and reduces somatic cell numbers. There was were no significant differences between T0 and T1 in terms of the raw milk's total plate count, specific gravity, titration acidity, and or the amount of milk protein, lactose, nonfat solids, free amino acids and volatile compounds, while raw milk in T1 showed significantly lower levels of milk fat in raw milk. The antioxidant activity of raw milk was improved by citrus byproducts TMR feed containing citrus byproducts.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of kiwi wine during low temperature aging on several alcohol fermentation strains. Alcohol content increased sharply from 2 days of fermentation, and then maintained steadily after 8 days of fermentation. In the alcohol content of kiwi wine on several alcohol fermentation strains such as Sacch. cerevisiae GRJ, Sacch. kluyveri DJ97 and Sacch. cerevisiae Wine 3 showed a high value of more than 13%, 12.7% for Zigosacch. cerevisiae JK99 and 12.3% for Sacch. cerevisiae OMK, respectively. Sugar content decreased steadily during fermentation and then showed approximately $10^{\circ}$Brix on 8 days of fermentation. Total acidity ranged $1.03{\sim}1.04%$ in total samples, increased slowly during fermentation and then maintained steadily during aging. During the fermentation, L value in Hunter's color value continued to increase, a value decreased steadily and b value showed high yellow to approximately 20.0. For aging duration, L and b values decreased while a value increased. Glucose and maltose were detected as free sugars of kiwi wine. In volatile flavor compounds, alcohols were identified differently on alcohol fermentation strains, but the others showed similar tendency. In conclusion, quality characteristics of kiwi wine on several alcohol fermentation strains showed similarly; however, Sacch. cerevisiae Wine 3 was overall the most suitable.

In order to produce clear and favorable citrus wine from Citrus unshiu produced in Cheju island, chemical and microbiological processes for alcoholic fermentation were investigated. The ratio of pressed juice passed below 100 mesh sieve and peel of mandarin orange were 55.9% and 25.6% respectively. Orange juice for fermentation source contained 8.85% total sugar, 1.43% total acid and 0.056% volatile acid. Pressed juice was adjusted to 24 degree Brix with cane sugar, and was fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for one month. Starter screened and selected was Saccharomyces cerevisiae IAM 4274. As principal fermentation proceeded for one week, suspended solids began to precipitate slowly after then. After fermentation, clear citrus wine consisted of about 8 degree Brix residual sugar, $13.3{\sim}14.4%$ ethanol, $0.78{\sim}1.11%$ total acid, $0.05{\sim}0.07%$ methanol and $2.25{\sim}3.29%$ extract, was obtained. Color, flavor and taste of citrus wine found good with panel test. Citrus wine which was treated with fungal enzyme derived from Aspergillus niger CCM-4 was cleared much faster, and could be filtered more rapidly than the untreated. The enzyme-producing strain was isolated from field soil of Cheju island and identified.

The in vitro antioxidant activity of oregano seed fractions, fractionizing with 80% ethanol, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water, was evaluated, and their effects on edible oils were determined in corn oil at 180℃. The ethyl acetate fraction had the highest radical-scavenging activity. The ferric reducing antioxidant power activity and total phenol content of the ethyl acetate fraction were determined as 6,130 µmol ascorbic acid equivalents/g extract and 770 µmol tannic acid equivalents/g extract, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the other fractions (p<0.05). Primary and secondary oxidation products in corn oil added with the ethyl acetate fraction of oregano seed significantly decreased by 1.5 and 1.26 times, respectively, compared with those in the control groups. The major volatile ingredients in the ethyl acetate fraction of oregano seeds were determined to be carvacrol, thymoquinone, and 3-cyclopentylcyl-cyclopentan-1-one. Ethyl acetate is a suitable solvent for extracting antioxidant compounds from oregano seeds and can be used as a natural antioxidant.
