Changes in taste components of Backilju, an traditional alcoholic beverage of Korea, were investigated. Ethanol(17%) was the most abundant, and then isoamylalcohol(23mg%) and methanol(8mg%) were also detected in a small amount in Backilju. Major non-volatile organic acids were lactic and malic acid, followed by citric, fumaric and succinic acid. Arginine, phenylalanine and glutamic acid were major free amino acids and essential amino acid content was 230∼560 mg%, which was 45∼48% of total free amino acids. The major fatty acid of total lipid was palmitic acid(37∼43%). It has been found that the Backilju contained more free amino acids and alcohols than other Korean Yokjus.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae는 전통적으로 알코올 음료와 bioethanol 생산에 이용되지만, 발효가 진행되는 동안 효모의 에탄올 생성은 에탄올의 축적에 의한 충격으로 세포활성에 손상을 초래한다. 본 연구는 S. cerevisiae의 에탄올 스트레스 반응과 에탄올 내성의 분자적 기초에 관해 수행되었으며, 에탄올 스트레스가 진행되는 동안 효모의 에탄올 생성 향상을 위한 유전 공학 전략의 수립에 활용될 수 있다. 이전의 연구들은 유전자 발현에 대한 에탄올 스트레스의 충격이 환경적 영향을 받기 때문에 다양한 균주와 조건들에 관해 이루어졌다. 그러나 에탄올 공격에 의해 영향을 받은 gene ontology 범주에서의 일부 공통점은 S. cerevisiae의 에탄올 스트레스 반응이 해당과정 및 미토콘드리아 기능과 관련된 유전자 발현의 증가와 에너지가 요구되는 성장과정과 관련된 유전자의 발현 감소에 따라 에너지 생산에 제약 받음을 의미한다. Genomewide screens를 이용한 연구는 vacuole function의 유지가 에탄올 내성에 대해 중요함을 암시한다. 아마도 단백질 turnover와 이온 항상성 유지에 이 세포기관의 역할이 중요하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 특히 에탄올 스트레스가 일어날 때 핵 내 Asr1과 Rat8의 축적은 비록 이 가설이 논란이 많은 주제로 남아있지만 S. cerevisiae가 에탄올 스트레스에 대한 특별한 반응을 가지고 있음을 의미한다.

This study was aimed to evaluate any influence food habits food intake freqyuency and factors associated hair conditions. The subjects of this study consisted of 291 female college students in Chung Ju. Questionnaires were completed by them Eating habits of subjects was irregular and hair type was not good generally hair glossy was most Who had hair trouble. The relationship between hair type and eating habits was not significant. But the rate of hair troubles, fallen hair, white hair, glossy were lower at the fish and soybean intake frequency to increasrd.(p<0.05) The drinking trime of coffee(p<0.01) and alcoholic beverage(p<0.05) per day was significant negative correlation with hair growth.

To investigate the drinking pattern and behaviors of Yangsan College students, a self-administrated survey was conducted to the subjects, composed of male 336 and female 165. The results of this study were as follows: 1. With regards to kind of alcoholic beverage, 71.6% of subjects responds have a preference for soju, which is favored more by male than by female. 2. The most favorite side dishes are stew and soup(48.2%), then roasted meats and fruits. 3. In the drinking habit, 40.4% of subjects responded that they drink themselves to sleep, 20.6% have more chatter, and 12.5% become silent. 4. 80% of the subjects, some of which recognized overdrinking, responded that the culture to have a drinking after official events is essential, while 6.6% responded that it goes wrong.

Factors affecting the production of bacterial cellulose and organic acids in Kombucha fermentation were investigated. Kombucha was obtained by the fermentation (for 12 days at 3$0^{\circ}C$) of the green/black tea extract, supplemented with 10% white sugar, using an Oriental tea fungus as starter. Hitgher initial pH increased acid production with decreased cellulose production. With a cellulose pellicle or tea fungus broth as a starter, a 1~3 mm thick cellulose layer developed as a top layer every four days, and was removed subsequently while continuing fermentation. Addition of 30 mL tea fungus broth (13%, v/v) in Kombucha fermentation resulted in maximum production of a cellulose pellicle, indicating weak acid production. Yield of cellulose production at an early stage of fermentation was also higher when Kombucha was inoculated with a cellulose pellicle. In fact, addition of 1% (v/v) alcoholic beverage in the Kombucha fermentation activated the cellulose production, coupled with four times higher acid production.

About 760 papers and patents of the traditional fermented food in Korea were collected which were published during 1917-1988, and then the papers were classified, outlined and reviewed. Study of traditional fermented food was about 10% of total study on Korean Foods, and that of alcoholic beverage was 50%, soy sauce and related product was 30% and kimchi was less than 20% of total study of traditional fermented foods. Though considerable amount of studies were accomplished before the World War II, but a few study was accomplished during the Korean war. The research activity is, hitherto, increasing gradually, but the systematic studies were rarely done. The studies to be investigated were processing quality of raw materials, classification, standardization, sensory quality of the product and so on.

Hangover is associated with alcohol metabolism in body after the ingestion of an alcoholic beverage. It has been known that hangover is caused by increasing blood acetaldehyde concentration. This study was carried out to evaluate effect against blood ethanol(EtOH) and acetaidehyde(AcH) on the seven natural products samples(Lotus seed, Sweet chest nut rose, Kohki, Gurume-K, Gurume-J, Phytic acid and Chlorophyll). Also, samples which were selected as good products were mixed. Then, effect against blood EtOH and AcH formulas were tested in vivo. (omitted)

Concentrations of formaldehyde and acetaldehy de were respectively analysed in forty-five alcoholic beverages obtained from the market. After derivatization with PFBHA, GC-ECD and GC-MSD were employed for analysis. The peak area of aldehyde oximes (derivatives with PFBHA) increased with the increasing ethanol content (5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 40%). When three-point calibration corves for the selected ethanol concentration (5, 13, 21 and 40%, v/v) were studied, suitable linearity against ethanol concentration was observed only under 5, 13, and 21% (ethanol, v/v). After analysis, maximum content of formaldehyde (average of 0.272 ppm) and acetaldehyde (average of 15.262 ppm) among the observed 45 alcoholic beverages was found from whisk (2 species) while minimum content of formaldehyde (average of 0.009 ppm) and acetaldehyde (average of 0.805 ppm) was found from diluted soju (4 species).

In order to manufacture the alcoholic drinks using cultured wild ginseng roots(CWGR) of 5 and $10\%$ (w/v), sugar content of fermentation media was adjusted to 24-25 $^{\circ}$Brix with white sugar and glucose. And 3 kinds of yeast (S. cerevisiae(KCCM 50757), S. cerevisiae (KCCM 50583) and S. bayanus(ATCC 10601) were used and then the quality of alcoholic drinks was analyzed by physical, chemical and sensory evaluation. Alcohol content was highest value of $15.8\%$ in $10\%$ of CWGR, white sugar, and S. bayanus(ATCC 10601). Major alcohols were ethanol and 1-propanol. Number of yeast cells increased to 5 days fermentation and slightly decreased afterwards. The pH was decreased abruptly from 5.0 in initial fermentation to 3.1-4.1 in 5 days fermentation. Total sugar contents were decreased continuously with fermentation periods and showed 7.0-10.5 $^{\circ}$Brix in 20 days fermentation. Saponin patterns and contents were various and higher in wine treated with S. bayanus(ATCC 10601). From the sensory evaluation, the highest score of overall quality was observed in the alcoholic beverage of $10\%$(w/v) of CWGR, glucose, and S. cerevisiae(KCCM 50583).
