주류는 미생물에 의한 효소작용으로 원료 성분이 분해됨으로서 생성되는 당분, 아미노산, 유기산등의 맛 성분과 발효과정 동안 생성되는 휘발성 성분들이 조화되어 상당히 다양한 성분들이 향미에 관여하므로 향기의 주성분 규명이나 향기성분을 이용한 품질의 규격화가 매우 어려운 문제로 보여진다. 술덧의 안전한 발효와 잡균오염을 방지하여 품질이 균일한 술을 생산할 목적으로 재래누룩과는 별도로 Aspergillus kawachii등의 균을 이용한 개량곡자(koji)가 술 제조시에 많이 이용되고 있으나 이러한 방법은 탁주의 대량생산과 수율은 증가시켰으나 다양한 품질이나 맛의 향상은 기대하기 어렵다. 본 실험은 재래누룩에서 분리된 곰팡이 10종과 대조균주로 Aspergillus kawachii CF1002 그리고 효모 Saccharomyces cerevisiae를 이용하여 술을 담금하여 그 제품의 headspace gas를 포집하여 GC/MS로 휘발성 향기성분을 분석하였으며 또한 관능평가를 실시하여 검토하였다. 각 균주별로 총 27∼40종의 향기성분이 확인되었으며 전체 시료에서 알콜(peak area% 52.3 9∼70.36%), 알칸류(3.49∼14.17%), 에스테르류(3.23∼7.37%), 유기산류(0∼2.85%), 알데히드류(0∼0.44%)의 순으로 함유량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. GC/MS를 통한 향기성분의 분석 결과 각각의 선발 균주로 제조된 술의 향기성분의 패턴이 서로 상이하였으며 이것은 통계분석에 의해 그 특징이 유의적으로 분석되어 Aspergillus sp. SH-607, Aspergillus sp. SH-613, Aspergillus sp. SH-667, Aspergillus sp. SH-696 그리고 Aspergillus sp. SH-412는 기호도가 높은 것으로 관찰되었다. 수집된 우수균주 10종과 Aspergillus kawachii등으로 담금하여 제조한 술 시료 11종류를 대상으로 하여 쓴맛, 미묘한 맛, 떫은 맛, 신맛, 좋은 맛의 정도를 5단계로 나누어 관능검사를 실시한 다음 자료를 Duncan's multiple range test로 분석한 결과 전체적으로 좋은 맛에 대한 기호도는 Aspergillus sp. SH-607 시료와 Aspergillus sp. SH-412, Rhizopus sp. SH-606, Aspergillus sp. SH-613, Rhizopus sp. SH-654, Aspergillus sp. SH-696 Aspergillus kawachii 시료가 유의성 있게 좋은 맛을 나타내 기호도가 높았으며 맛과 기호도가 가장 좋았던 것은 Aspergillus sp. SH-607 시료로 나타났다.

To develop a new traditional Gugija tagju, various koji were prepared using several starch sources along with Aspergillus awamori var. kawachi, and then their effects on the quality of the tagju were investigated. Ethanol contents(11.1${\sim}$13.8%) were not significantly different among the Gugija tagju made from the various types of koji, whereas the tagju made using non-glutinous rice koji had the best total acceptability. The addition of 1% Gugija extracts into the mash increased its total acceptability and anti-hypertensive angiotensin I-converting inhibitory activity, and the optimal fermentation period for brewing the Gugija tagju was 10 days.

현재 우리나라의 탁약주 용 Rice-Koji 제조 용종국균으로 널리 분양되고 있는 분양되고 있는 fawachi, S-27 균주가 생성하는 Amylase의 효소학적 특성과 Rice-Koji i제조 시 유기산 및 당화 효소의 생성 조건을 검토했다. 1. 본 균은 유기산 생성력이 강하고 또 생성하는 당화효소 및 액화효소는 내산성이 극히 강하며 pH3~5의 범위내에서 최고 활성을 나타내었으므로 탁약주 제조 용 종국균으로 아주 적합하였다. 2. 본 균의 발아 최적온도는 36$^{\circ}C$이었으며 Rice -Koji제조시 제국시간을 40시간으로 볼 때 유기산 생성의 최적온도는 32$^{\circ}C$이었고 당화효소 생성의 최적온도는 36$^{\circ}C$이었으며 고온인 4$0^{\circ}C$에서는 유기산 생성이 극히 불량하였다. 3. Rice-Kojiw제조시 당화효소의 생성은 배지의 수분함량 35%일 때 최고치를 보였으며 유기산 생성은 이 보다 높은 조건인 수분함량 40%일 때 이었고 비교적 건조한 조건인 수분함량 30%일 때는 유기산 생성이 특히 불량하였다. 4. 배지의 두께가 3cm이상이 되면 유기산 및 당화효소 생성에 않은 지장을 주었다. 5. 종국균의 점종량은 유기산 및 당화효소의 생성에 별로 영향을 미치지 못했다.

Ethyl caproate, one of the major flavor compounds deciding the quality of sake (Japanese wine), is produced during the brewing by the action of alcohol acyltransferase and esterases of sake yeast and koji mold. Extracellular esterases of Aspergillus oryzae required for ethyl caproate synthesis were purified partially. The enzymes had different optimum pH and affinity toward substrates. Substrate preferences and inhibition features showed the three enzymes to be B-type esterases or carboxylesterases (EC 3.1.1.1).

Black Aspergillus is important fungus for oriental fermentation industry. Black Aspergillus was frequently isolated from Korean traditional Meju, a fermented soybean starting material for soy sauce and soybean paste. Thirty three strains were isolated from 98 finished Meju collected in various regions of Korea from 2008 to 2011, and 21 strains were isolated from in-process Meju at various farms from 2010 to 2011. The isolated black Aspergillus were identified using DNA sequences of partial ${\beta}$-tubulin and calmodulin genes. Of 54 black Aspergillus strains, 14 strains were identified as A. luchuensis and the others were composed of A. niger (n = 21), A. tubingensis (n = 10), and A. welwitschiae (n = 9).

The purpose of this study was to compare the quality characteristics of each brown rice glutinous rice red pepper paste prepared. In this study, brown rice, glutinous rice, and red pepper paste were prepared with various enzyme preparations. A 20-day study of the physicochemical and microbiological properties of each enzyme through the results process showed significant differences. In particular, brown rice red pepper paste manufactured using cozies purchased from Sunchang was functionally superior to rice cozies and bean cozies, with probiotics of 7.1-7.5×107 CFU/mL, lactobacillus of 1.9-2.2×103 CFU/mL, 48.67-52.30%, and 58.57-63.90%. When the results were combined, the composition of microorganisms and enzymes of fermented soybean paste purchased from Sunchang was not confirmed, but brown rice chili paste with nutritional and functional properties could be prepared compared to A.oryzae and A. kawachii.

In order to utilize large size anchor effectively, fermented and powdered anchovy seasoning for extractives was manufactured, Fermented anchovy saesoning was fabricated by adding $10\%$ koji of Aspergillus oryzae and mixing with $5\%$ Laminalia. The optimum fermentation temperature, humidity and time for manufacture of anchovy saesoning were $40^{\circ}C$, RH $80\%$ and 48 hrs, respectively. The amount of total free amino acids in anchovy seasoning with $5\%$ Lansinaria was 6,486.9 mg/100 g, while that of commercial product was 444.4 mg/100 g. The principal taste compounds in anchovy seasoning material were IMP and amino acids such as leucine, glutamic acid, histidine, alanine and valine. Extractive nitrogen and organoleptic quality of the extractives in anchovy seasoning packed in tea bag with air permeability, 100 $m^3/m^2/min$, were better than those of commercial product.

Aspergillus luchuensis 34-1 was inoculated into wheat pellets with different conditions of raw materials to produce nuruk. The degree of substrate reactivity improvement of steam treated raw materials compared with that of non-heat treated was analyzed. The water content of the pellet was adjusted to 25% and 35%, and steam treatment for 10 minutes improved the substrate reactivity at 2.1-fold and 3.1-fold, and sterilization was also possible. The characteristics of improvement pellet nuruk were investigated according to the degree of crushing and water content of raw materials according to the temperatures and humidities ($23^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$ and RH 60%, RH 80%). The pH of the pellet nuruk was higher depending on the temperature, humidity and moisture content of the koji were lower, and the pH of the flour-pellet nuruk was lower than that of 2 mm milling wheat-pellet nuruk according to milling degree. It can be seen that the milling degree affects the growth of mold. The acidity and amino acid were generally higher as fermentation time increased. Also, the higher the incubation temperature, humidity and moisture content, the higher the value. Glucoamylase activity was significantly the highest in moisture content 35% D2b nuruk, cultured at $30^{\circ}C$ and 80% RH for 38 hours. This is higher than the previous reports on glucoamylase of rice-koji or commercial nuruk using fungi isolated from traditional nuruk. From these study, it is expected that making of improvement pellet nuruk would save the fermentation time considerably compared with traditional nuruks.

Squid was fermented with fermentation accelerators to develop a natural complex seasoning. The quality properties of fermented squid were determined at different fermentation periods. Squid fermented with 10% Aspergillus oryzae koji for 10 days had the highest amino-N, acidity, and total viable cell content during fermentation periods, whereas volatile basic nitrogen content and pH were the lowest. Based on the amino-N content, squid with 10% koji fermented for 10 days was selected for further analyses. The inosine and glutamic acid contents of the fermented squid were highest innucleotide composition, their related compounds, and free amino acids, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ values of the fermented squid on DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities were 6.20 and 4.41 mg/mL, respectively. Based on the results of a sensory evaluation, the fermented squid seasoning was similar to other natural complex seasonings such as anchovy, cowmeat, and fisheries seasonings.
