Makgeolli is a traditional Korean alcoholic beverage. The flavor of makgeolli is primarily determined by metabolic products such as free sugars, amino acids, organic acids, and aromatic compounds, which are produced during the fermentation of raw materials by molds and yeasts present in nuruk, a Korean fermentation starter. In this study, makgeolli was brewed using the wild yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y98-5, and temporal changes in the metabolites during fermentation were analyzed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The resultant data were analyzed by partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). Various metabolites, including amino acids, organic acids, sugar alcohols, small peptides, and nucleosides, were obviously altered by increasing the fermentation period. Changes in these metabolites allowed us to distinguish among makgeolli samples with different fermentation periods (1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8 days) on a PLS-DA score plot. In the makgeolli brewed in this study, the amounts of tyrosine ($463.13{\mu}g/mL$) and leucine ($362.77{\mu}g/mL$) were high. Therefore, our results indicate that monitoring the changes in metabolites during makgeolli fermentation might be important for brewing makgeolli with good nutritional quality.

Effective method for the preparation of Dongchimi juice was developed by addition of NaCi, sucrose and bydrolytic enzymes before fermentation and addition on Dongchimi juice during fermentation. The radish was ground and suspended in water(1:1, w/v) with addition of spices(garlic, green onion and ginger) followed by fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$. The addition of 2% NaCi and 0.5~2.0% sucrose resulted in significant increase of solid content and it was also improved by the addition of polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzyme during fermentation. When the fermented juices of pH 5.4 of 4.4 were added by 15% of total weight before(pH 5.4 juice)and during (pH 4.4 juice) fermentation, a significant increase in solid content after 24hrs of fermentation was resulted. The combined method of addition of 2% NaCI, 1.0% sucrode, 0.1% Viscozyme and 10% of fermented juice of pH 5.4 and 4.$ before and during fermentation improved solid content, reducing sugar, color and showed little effect on viscosity. The organoleptic characteristics were also improved by the combined method.

In this study, high-acidity cider vinegar (HACV) was produced by alcoholic and acetic acid fermentation of apple concentrate without any nutrients and then the optimum alcohol concentration was determined through a qualitative study. HACV was fermented with different initial alcohol concentrations (6-9%) during the process of acetic acid fermentation. The highest content of reducing sugar, organic acids, and free amino acids was observed at 6% of initial alcohol concentration. Approximately 20 types of volatile compounds were identified by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and GC-MS. The total volatile content was the highest at 6% of initial alcohol concentration, and the acid content was the lowest at 9% of the initial alcohol concentration. The HACV produced by a two-stage fermentation process was qualitatively better than commercial HACV presenting the highest value at 6% of initial alcohol concentration. Malic acid, aspartic acid, and hexyl acetate were selected as quality index components of HACV production by two-stage fermentation on the basis of correlation between their physicochemical properties and the sensory attributes of HACV.

Monacolin K (MK) was produced on soybean using Monascus ruber GM011 by a two-stage-fermentation process. The optimal temperature was identified as $28^{\circ}C$. Higher yield was obtained by multiple-level-temperature cultivation than by single-level-temperature cultivation. The highest yield of total MK, 4.810 mg/g dry soybean product, was attained after 30 days of solid-state fermentation. No citrinin could be detected in the fermented soybean.

Since 2005, food waste has been separately collected and recycled to animal feed or aerobic compost in South Korea. However, the conventional recycling methods discharge process wastewater, which contain pollutant equivalent to more than 50% of food waste. Therefore, anaerobic digestion is considered as an alternative recycling method of food waste to reduce pollutant and recover renewable energy. Recent studies showed that hydrogen can be produced at acidogenic stage in two-stage anaerobic digestion. In this study, the authors investigated the effects of pretreatment time and pH low set value on continuous mesophilic hydrogen fermentation of food waste. Food waste was successfully converted to $H_2$ when heat-treated at $70^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, which was milder than previous studies using pH 12 for 1 day or $90^{\circ}C$. Organic acid production dropped operational pH below 5.0 and caused a metabolic shift from $H_2/butyrate$ fermentation to lactate fermentation. Therefore, alkaline addition for operational pH at or over 5.0 was necessary. At pH 5.3, the result showed that the maximum hydrogen productivity and yield of 1.32 $m^3/m^3$.d and 0.71 mol/mol $carbohydrate_{added}$. Hydrogen production from food waste would be an effective technology for resource recovery as well as waste treatment.

떫은감의 이용성 증진과 품질이 우수한 감식초 발효조건을 최적화하였다. 품질이 일정하고 단기간에 대량생산이 가능한 발효조건을 확립하기 위하여 반응 표면분석으로 식초 제조조건을 알콜발효와 초산발효 2단계로 구분하여 모니터링하였다. 그 결과 1단계 알콜발효에서 알콜함량이 최대치를 나타내는 조건은 원료감의 당도 $20.51\;^{\circ}Brix$, 교반속도 139.52 rpm, 발효시간 94.88 hr으로 나타났다. 그러나 떫은감의 당도가 $14\;^{\circ}Brix$ 정도임을 감안하여 제한조건으로 초기당도를 $14\;^{\circ}Brix$로 정한 후 최적조건을 예측하여 본 결과 발효 시간 120 hr, 교반속도 40 rpm에서 알콜수율이 7.1%로 나타났다. 이와 같이 설정된 조건으로 알콜발효를 행한 후 2단계로 초산발효를 행하여 초산발효조건을 예측한 결과 총산이 최대치를 나타내는 조건은 교반 속도 224.40 rpm, 발효시간 176.07 hr로 나타났다. 최적조건에서 예측된 알콜발효 및 초산발효의 결과는 최적조건으로 실제 발효를 행한 결과와 유사하였다.

호화시킨 쌀을 액 당화한 후 젖산발효하고 균질화하여 호상 쌀젖산발효물을 제조하였다. 발효시 ${\alpha}$-아밀라제와 글루코아밀라제를 각각 0.02%수준으로 처리하여 2차 당화와 동시에 발효를 진행함으로써 쌀젖산발효물의 품질을 크게 향상시킬 수 있었다. 이들 효소처리에 의하여 쌀젖산발효물의 신맛과 단맛이 증대되었으며 꺼끌꺼끌한 촉감을 주는 불용성 고형물 입자의 크기가 감소하였다. 쌀젖산 발효물의 관능적 품질은 매우 양호하였으며 기호도가 높았다. 최적화된 공정에 의거하여 제조된 쌀젖산발효물의 이화학적 특성을 조사하였다.

건조유자과피를 첨가하여 제조한 막걸리의 최적 첨가량을 확정하기 위하여 건조유자과피를 각각 3, 6, 9%를 첨가하여 제조한 막걸리의 발효 중 이화학적 특성과 관능적 특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 대조군에 비해서 건조유자과피를 첨가한 막걸리에서 관능적 결과가 더 낮았고, 이는 건조유자과피의 첨가량이 늘어날수록 기호도가 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 거의 모든 이화학적 특성에서 각 샘플들 간의 유의차가 존재하지 않으므로 관능적 기호도로 볼 때 건조유자과피는 3% 첨가량이 가장 적합하다고 판단되었다. 그러나 대조구에 비해서 관능적 기호도가 낮으므로 이는 적절한 첨가 형태라고 볼 수 없으며, 향후 적정 첨가시기, 발효 기간 등에 관한 연구가 더 진행되어야 할 것이라고 생각된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of heat treatment on the start-up performance for anaerobic hydrogen fermentation of food waste. The result showed that hydrogen production was $0.61{\pm}0.31$ mol $H_2$/mol hexose with heat-treatment of food waste at $70^{\circ}C$ for 60 min whereas it was $0.36{\pm}0.31$ mol $H_2$/mol hexose without heat-treatment of one. The heat treatment of food waste enhanced hydrogen yield due probably to the increase of hydrolysis as well as the decrease of non-hydrogen fermentation microorganisms. The removal efficiency of carbohydrate in reactors regardless of heat treatment of food waste maintained over 90%. The hydrogen conversion efficiency from food waste was 1.7-6.3% with heat-treatment whereas it was 0.7-4.5% without heat-treatment. At the time of switchover from batch to continuous operation, lactate concentration was high compared to the n-butyrate concentration in anaerobic hydrogen fermentation reactor without heat-treatment. Anaerobic hydrogen fermentation of food waste with heat treatment was stable in start-up periods because lactate concentration could be maintained at a relatively low compared to n-butyrate concentration due to the decrease of non-hydrogen fermentation microorganisms.

Modeling the growth kinetics of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), one of the most valuable microbial groups in the food industry, has been actively pursued in order to understand, control, and optimize the relevant fermentation processes. Most modeling approaches have focused on the development of single population models. Primary single population models provide fundamental kinetic information on the proliferation of a primary LAB species, the effects of biological factors on cell inhibition, and the metabolic reactions associated with cell growth. Secondary single population models can evaluate the dependence of primary model parameters, such as the maximum specific growth rate of LAB, on the initial external environmental conditions. This review elucidates some of the most important single population models that are conveniently applicable to the LAB fermentation analyses. Also, a well-defined mixed population model is presented as a valuable tool for assessing potential microbial interactions during fermentation with multiple LAB species.
