Formation of a L-Ascorbic Acid 2-O-$\alpha$-glucoside(AA-2G) is a chemically stable dervative of asocrbate that shows a vitamin C acitivity in vitro as well as in vivo. We studied whether ascorbic acid(AA) and AA-2G are formed in baechu kimchi during fermentation at 4 $^{\circ}C$ or 18$^{\circ}C$. To determine the formation of AA and AA-2G during fermentation of kimchi, wheat flour (as a carbhydrate source) added baechu kimchi (WBK) and control baechu kimchi(CBK) were prepared and fermented at 4 $^{\circ}C$ or 18 $^{\circ}C$. A substance like AA-2G was detected by HPLC from WBK fermented at 18 $^{\circ}C$ for 26 days in fall season and confirmed later to be the AA-2G showing distinctive characteristics of heat stability and resistance to ascrobate oxidase catalase. However, none of the kimchi formed AA-2G when the kimchi were fermented under a different temperature condition such as 4 $^{\circ}C$ instead of 18 $^{\circ}C$ or a different season such as summer instead of fall even if they were fermented at 18 $^{\circ}C$. The pH of kimchi was decreased rapidly during the first 3 days. and then decreased slowly after 4 days when the kimchi were fermented at 18 $^{\circ}C$. However, there were slight changes of pH in both CBK and WBK feremented at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 30 $^{\circ}C$ days. Therefore, the AA-2G -forming activity in kimchi seems to be correlated with the formentation temperature, the microorganisms involved in kimchi fermentation and a suitable glycosyl donor for AA as provided by wheat flour in this study.

Xylitol을 당수용체로하여 당알콜 올리고당 gluosyl-xylitol을 생산하기 위하여 갭술고정화 전세포 CGTase를 제조하고자 하였다. CGTase를 생산하기 위하여 Bacillus macerans를 배양하는 경우 organic form의 질소원을 사용하는 경우 inorganic form의 질소원을 사용하는 경우보다 더 많은 CGTase를 생산하였고 배양도중 탄소원인 starch가 분해되는 동안 CGTase가 생성되었다. B. macerans에 의하여 생산된 CGTase는 80% 이상이 extracellular cnzyme 이며, intracellular enzyme은 20% 이내이었다. E. coh, C. glutamicum, S. cerevisiae 등과 달리 캡슐내부에 B. macerans를 접종하고 캡슐내부에서 고농도로 배양할 수 없었다. 배양액속에 존재하는 CGTase는 다른 이온성 물질들로 인하여 활성탄, Ambolite, Sephadex 등의 흡착제에 흡착시킬 수 없었다. 미생물을 배양한 배양책 전체를 10배로 농축하여 캡슐내에 고정화함으로써 캡슐고정화 전세포 CGTase를 제조할 수 있었다. 농축배양액을 이요하여 제조된 캡슐고정화 전세포 CGTase는 hydrolysis, intermolecular transglycosylation을 수행하였으며, xylitol을 당수용체로 하고 dextrin을 당공여체ㅗ 하여 glucosyl-xylitol을 생산하였다.
