There were four types of Doenjang fermentation as following conditions for investigation ; 1) low temperature fermentation at $13^{\circ}C$ for 180 days, 2) low temperature at $13^{\circ}C$ for 7 days to room temperature at $30^{\circ}C$ for 10 days, to low temperature at $13^{\circ}C$ for 163 days, and for 173 days, 3) low temperature at $13^{\circ}C$ 7 days to room temperature at $30^{\circ}C$, 4) room temperature at $30^{\circ}C$ for 180 days. There were no changes of moisture, NaCl and total nitrogen content during fermentation period of four types conditions, but pH and amino type nitrogen decreased in room temperature at $30^{\circ}C$ for 180 days. It required 3 times more fermentation period until same quantity of the amino type nitrogen. The low temperature fermentation sample was lower than room temperature fermentation sample in pH and amino type nitrogen. The yeast decreased in low temperature fermentation sample taken 15 to 30 days longer than room temperature sample. The yeast is increased up to 30 days, and decreased little by little. After 60 days, it remained a few without effectiveness on the Doenjang quality. The low temperature fermentation sample showed brighter than room temperature fermentation sample. Different fermentation condition affected Doenjnag quality, especially, low temperature fermentation sample showed bright color in Doenjnag. So low temperature fermentation must be expected as good method for getting high quality Doenjnag.

To enhance the hyperproductive and low energy-consuming ethanol fermentation rate, the thermotolerant yeast S. cerevisiae RA-74-2 cells were immobilized. An efficient immobilization condition was proved to be $1.5{\%}$ (w/v) alginate solution, neutral pH and 20 h activation of beads. The fermentation characteristics and stability at various temperatures were examined as compared with free S. cerevisiae RA-74-2 cells. The immobilized cells had excellent fermentation rate at the range of pH 3-7 at 30-$42^{\circ}C$ in 15-$20{\%}$ glucose media. When the seed volume was adjusted to 0.12 (v/v) (6ml bead/50 ml medium), $11{\%}$ (w/v) ethanol was produced during the first 34 hand $12.15{\%}$ (w/v) ethanol [$95{\%}$ (w/v) of theoretical yield] during the first 60 h in $25{\%}$ glucose medium. In repetitive fermentation using a 2 litre fermentor, 5.79-$7.27{\%}$ (w/v) ethanol [76-$95{\%}$ (w/v) of theoretical yield] was produced during the 40-55 h in $15{\%}$ glucose media. These data suggested the fact that alginate beads of thermotolerant S. cerevisiae RA-74-2 cells would contribute to economic and hyperproductive ethanol fermentation at high temperature.

The study was conducted to investigate the condition for mixed fermentation of Rhodilola sachalinensis with red ginseng using Lactobacillus acidophillus 128 and the changes of physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities before and after the lactic acid fermentation was examined. In the single fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis extract, the pH and titratable acidity rarely changed, and the number of lactic acid bacteria decreased greatly. On the other hand, in the lactic acid fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract of 50% red ginseng content, the pH decreased, whereas the titratable acidity and the number of lactic acid bacteria increased. The solid content of optimal mixed extract for lactic acid fermentation was 0.5%. Sugar content decreased during fermentation, but total phenolic compounds tended to increase during fermentation. The salidroside and p-tyrosol content of the initial Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract was 419.5 mg% and 60.1 mg%, respectively; after fermentation, the salidroside content after lactic acid fermentation decreased greatly to 81.8 mg%, and the amount of p-tyrosol increased greatly to 324.9 mg%. The DPPH scavenging activity of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed fermentate was 78.1% at 0.1% concentration, showing a tendency to increase as compared to 50.3% of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract before the fermentation (p<0.05); it was a higher antioxidant activity as compared to the single fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis or red ginseng.

This paper investigates the possibility to increase the economic value of the thinned young apple trough fermentation process. It is studies the optimal fermentation condition of thinned young apple by manipulating preparation treatment and sugar content. To do this following steps are done. Firstly, different preparation treatment for thinned young apple such as whole apple, cutting apple, and blending apple were done. The different sugar content such as $24^{\circ}Brix$, $15^{\circ}Brix$ and $4^{\circ}Brix$ was added. Secondly, the sugar contents and pH level were measured during fermentation process. Finally, statistical analysis was used to examine the relation between the preparation treatment, sugar content and pH level during the fermentation process. The experimental result shows that the different preparation treatment influences to the fermentation process. The blending apple treatment gave lower pH level compared to other kind treatments. The sugar content of thinned young apple was decrease during the fermentation process. The statistical analysis shows that the manipulation preparation treatment and sugar content affect the final pH level and whole fermentation process. Experimental result shows that the thinned young apple fermentation could be proposed as new alternative product in the market. The best fermentation process was obtained from blending thinned young apple treatment with $24^{\circ}Brix$.

Qualities properties of fish sauce made jack mackerel (Trachurns japonicus) at different salt concentrations (25~35%) for 240 days at fermentation temperature ($25{\sim}55^{\circ}C$) were investigated. Total nitrogen content of the fish sauce made jack mackerel at 25% salt concentration after 240 day of fermentation was higher than those of 30%, 35% salt concentration. Total nitrogen content was increased under the same condition as fermentation temperature increased except at $55^{\circ}C$. Amino nitrogen contents at 25% salt concentration after 240 day of fermentation at 35, 45, $55^{\circ}C$ were 949.3, 812.8 and 834.4 mg/100 g, respectively. Those at 25, $55^{\circ}C$ fermentation temperature were 811.2 and 614.8 mg/100 g, respectively. The amino acid nitrogen content at 30 and 35% salt concentration ware lower than 20% salt concentration and that after 240 day of fermentation at $55^{\circ}C$ was lowest. The volatile basic nitrogen content increased during fermentation as fermentation temperature increased. However, increasing salt concentration controlled the formation of volatile basic nitrogen. Histamine content of samples fermented at $25{\sim}55^{\circ}C$ after 240 days were 9~20 mg/kg showing that it was not significantly different among salt concentration. The results indicated that the controlled salt concentration and fermentation temperature could be used as a successful process for fish sauce of jack mackerel as an unused resource.

All the parts of lotus, including the seed, rhizome, leaf, stalk, petal, anther, pericarp, and fruit receptacle, have been used in traditional medicine system as a health beneficial supplement. However the most usually used from lotus plant is only the root. Therefore in this study, it will be discussed more the utilization of other parts of the lotus, namely the flower of lotus. The petals and stamens of lotus actually are also rich in bioactive components such as flavonoids and alkaloids, are used in the treatment of tissue inflammation, cancer, skin disease, and also for us as antidotes. One of the biotechnological process that can be used to improve the nutritional content, sensory, and also antioxidant activities is fermentation process. The final product desired from the fermentation process in this study is vinegar. The microbial strain powder used is Uinkin fermented powder with three variations of fermentation. The variations given in this study were initial sugar 32%, 24%, and 14% with the same fermentation temperature, $35^{\circ}C$ for 3 months. The results obtained showed that the pH value and sugar content of products during the fermentation process were decreasing during the fermentation process, with total polyphenol content of $283.7{\pm}97.6mg/100g\;QAE$, and total flavonoid content of $3.3{\pm}0.0mg/100g\;QAE$. For the DPPH radical scavenging ability of the fermentation product also increased in a concentration dependent manner, with ORAC activity of the product showed a high activity of $20.7{\pm}0.41{\mu}M$ TE. Therefore, fermentation process can be the one of method for improving the product. The efficiency of lotus flower vinegar fermentation can be reached with an initial sugar condition of 25% (sample B).

This study was carried out to develop a vinegar by an onion juice. Onions are considered to be a promising source of the vinegar because these are rich in sugars, amino acids and various nutrients. An Acetobacter for an acetic acid fermentation was isolated and used from vinegars produced by industrial goods or from matured Kimchi. When supplemented with 2-8% ethanol into an onionic juice medium, the highest production of the acetic acid was observed at 9 days by addition of 4% ethanol. Optimum temperature and aeration for acetic acid production were exhibited at $30^{\circ}C$ and 200 rpm, respectively. A flask containing larger air-contact surface region for fermentation was produced the more acetic acid than that of a test tube. Taken all these together, an optimum condition for the acetic acid fermentation was over 9 days at $30^{\circ}C$, 200 rpm with 5% alcohol and 2% initial acidity. When fermented by the upper condition, the final product contains 5.2% total acidity and less than 1% ethanol. These are suitable for conditions of fruit vinegar notified by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy.
