The optimal fermentation conditions for producing fermented black soybeans rich in sulfur-containing amino acids were investigated. Response surface methodology monitored fermentation conditions. A central composite design examined the effect of independent variables: enzyme concentration (X₁) and fermentation time (X₂) on yield and methionine content. Both factors significantly influenced these dependent variables. Enzyme concentration more profoundly affected amino nitrogen content than fermentation time. β-Glucan content and cystine level were primarily affected by fermentation time. We elicited each variable's regression formula and identified optimal fermentation conditions for functional compounds. The predicted optimum conditions were an enzyme concentration of 0.28-0.32% and a fermentation time of 58.0-62.0 min. Under these optimal conditions, each black soybean variety's sulfur amino acid content ranged from 818.62 to 922.62 mg/100 g, demonstrating significant variety differences.

Saeujeot (salted and fermented shrimp) and kimchi are traditional Korean fermented foods. Even though shrimp have often induced severe allergic reactions in sensitized individuals, few studies have investigated the allergenicity of shrimp. The aim of this study was to observe the changes of pH and allergenicity of raw shrimp (Acetes japonicus) and saeujeot in cabbage kimchi during fermentation using competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Ci-ELISA). Fermentation was carried out at different temperatures (25, 15, and $5^{\circ}C$). The pH of cabbage kimchi added with raw shrimp or saeujeot slowly decreased at lower temperature ($5^{\circ}C$) at the end stage of the fermentation process. The binding ability of serum obtained from patients allergic to raw shrimp against shrimp tropomyosin and saeujeot in kimchi rapidly decreased during longer fermentation periods and higher temperature ($25^{\circ}C$). In conclusion, the allergenicity of both raw shrimp and saeujeot in kimchi decreased during fermentation but the decrease in allergenicity of saeujeot was greater than observed for raw shrimp.

Changes in microflora, pH, reducing sugar content, lactic acid content, and ethanol content during Korean rice wine fermentation were investigated. Typical quality characteristics of Korean rice wine fermentation including pH, reducing sugar content, lactic acid content, and ethanol content were evaluated. While a fungus was not detected in our Korean rice wine mash, yeast was found to be present at fairly high quantities (1.44-4.76\;{$\times}\;10^8\;CFU/mL$) throughout the fermentation period. It is assumed that lactic acid bacteria (LAB) had effects on the variations of fragrance and flavor for traditional Korean rice wine. The main LAB during the Korean rice wine fermentation was determined and identified as a Gram-positive, straight rod-shaped cell. Genotypic identification of the isolated strain by amplification of its 16S rRNA sequence revealed that the isolated strain was most closely related to Lactobacillus plantarum (99%) strains without any other comparable Lactobacillus strains. Therefore, we designated the major LAB identified from traditional Korean rice wine fermentation as L. plantarum RW.

In the present work, it was attempted to produce $H_2$ from food waste by the two-stage fermentation system. Food waste was acidified to lactate by using indigenous lactic acid bacteria under mesophilic condition, and the lactate fermentation effluent (LFE) was subsequently converted to $H_2$ by photo-fermentation. $Rhodobacter$ $sphaeroides$ KD131 was used as the photo-fermenting bacteria. The optimal conditions for lactate fermentation were found to be pH of 5.5 and substrate concentration of 30 g Carbo. COD/L, under which yielded 1.6 mol lactate/mol glucose. By filtering the LFE and adding trace metal, $H_2$ production increased by more than three times compared to using raw LFE, and finally reached the $H_2$ yield of 3.6 mol $H_2$/mol lactate. Via the developed two-stage fermentation system $H_2$ yield of 5.8 mol $H_2$/mol glucose was achieved from food waste, whose value was the highest that ever recorded.

The objective of this study was to select an effective microbial strain to improve the functional qualities of Eisenia bicyclis water extract by fermentation. For this purpose, several microorganisms isolated from traditional Korean fermented foods were inoculated and cultivated in E. bicyclis water extract. Ultimately, yeast strain YM-1 was selected for further study based on its total phenolic compound (TP) content and antioxidant activity, which were enhanced by microbial fermentation. The extract fermented by YM-1 exhibited a superior TP content and 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity compared to extracts fermented by other microbes. The highest TP content and DPPH radical scavenging activity were observed after one day of YM-1 fermentation. Yeast strain YM-1 was identified as Candida utilis based on an analysis of its physiological characteristics. During fermentation of the extract by C. utilis YM-1, no significant difference was observed in the proximate composition, including moisture, crude lipid, crude protein, and crude ash. Fermentation by C. utilis YM-1 resulted in enhanced biological activity, including increases in the TP content and antioxidant activity. Thus, fermentation by C. utilis YM-1 is an attractive strategy for developing value-added food ingredients.

This study was conducted to investigate the correlation of the physicochemical quality index(pH, acidity, reducing sugar content and lactic acid bacterial count) and sensory index(sourness) of Kakdugi during the fermentation at 5$^{\circ}C$, 10$^{\circ}C$ and 20$^{\circ}C$ respectively. Also, the relations between physicochemical quality index and overall acceptability were carried out. The pH range, based on the middle sour intensity point of 4.5, was 5.75 at 5$^{\circ}C$ fermentation, whereas that was 4.2 at 10$^{\circ}C$ and 20$^{\circ}C$ fermentation. The pH showing the highest overall acceptability decreased along with increased fermentation temperature. The reduced sugar content decreased rapidly up to 0.9% acidity, but after that, decreased slowly from more than 0.9% acidity at all fermentation temperatures. With increased fermentation temperature, the reduced sugar content showing the highest overall acceptability also showed the decreasing tendency. Change patterns of lactic acid bacterial count and sourness didn't coincided at 5$^{\circ}C$ fermentation, whereas those did at 10$^{\circ}C$ and 20$^{\circ}C$ fermentation. The indexes showing high significant correlations with sourness of Kakdugi fermented at 5$^{\circ}C$ were not pH and lactic acid bacterial count but acidity and reducing sugar content(p<0.05). The sourness of Kakdugi fermented at 10$^{\circ}C$ and 20$^{\circ}C$ showed high significant correlations with all of the physicochemical index(p<0.05).

This study was intended to observe the effect of cooked glutinous rice flour and soused shrimp on the fermentation of Kimchi samples were fermented for 11 days at 10$^{\circ}C$ after they were previously fermented for 6 hours at 20$^{\circ}C$. Changes of pH, total acidity, salt content, reducing sugar content, free amino acid content, total vitamin C content, and ascorbic acid content were measured. The results were as follows; 1. Soused shrimp and glutinous rice flour added in Kimchi acted as lactobacilli growth enhancer during fermentation. 2. Initial cincentrations of redng sugars in Kimch samples with no soused shrimp, 5% and 10% sosed shrimp were 7.5~8.3 mg/g, 3.0~4.7 mg/g and 0.5~0.6 mg/g respectively. Kinchi samples with glutinous rice flour showed higher reducing sugar contents than Kimchi samples without it. 3. Free amino acid contents in Kimchi samples gradually decreased during fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$. According to their soused shrimp concentration, contents of free amino acid of Kimchi samples were significantly different. And Kimchi samples with glutinous rice flour showed lower free amino acid contents than Kimchi samples without it. 4. Total vitamin C contentrations of Kimchi samples were 24.5~28.0 mg% at the initial stage of fermentation and 15.0~19.2 mg% at the final stage of fermentation. During the fermentation of Kimchi, the higher soused shrimp concentration, the less total vitamin C contents were remained. 5. During the fermentation, ascorbic acid contents of Kimchi samples were not affected by soused shrimp and glutinous rice flour.

Purpose: Curcuma aromatica Salisb., commonly known as turmeric, has long been used as a powerful health-promoting anti-inflammatory or antioxidant that supports cellular health of the human body. The objective of this study was to compare the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the samples with or without fermentation. Methods: Antioxidant activities of the samples were compared using total phenol, flavonoid contents, 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) cation radical scavenging activity and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. Antimicrobial activities were also examined using the paper disc method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Results: Organic acid content of the C. aromatica Salisb. fermented with Aspergillus oryzae (FCAS) showed a significantly higher value of 0.41% than that of the typical sample without fermentation (CAS) which showed a value of 0.27% (p<0.001). Total phenol and flavonoid contents of the CAS and FCAS did not show significant differences. However, ABTS cation radical scavenging activity and DPPH radical scavenging activity were significantly increased in the samples with fermentation (p<0.001, p<0.01), respectively. The samples of the disc showed inhibited growth of gram positive Bacillus cereus (FCAS 3.70 cm and CAS 2.73 cm) and Staphylococcus aureus (FCAS 2.70 cm and CAS 1.97 cm). MIC of the FCAS (0.25-0.50, 0.5-1.00 mg/mL) was higher than that of the CAS (1.00-2.00, 2.00-3.00 mg/mL), respectively. Conclusion: C. aromatica Salisb. with fermentation showed higher antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in this study. Thus we conclude that fermentation can be a helpful process for more effective application of C. aromatica Salisb. with fermentation in the health-promoting food industry.
