The study was aimed to saccharify callulosic waste by pectinase produced from strain KL34 isolated from soil. The enzyme activity in the culture using 1%(w/v) fruit waste as carbon source reached to 3.8 U/ml. In the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic waste, we obtained 9.5g/L reducing sugar in the condition of supernatant containing 5 U/ml enzyme and 10%(w/v) apple rind as substrate. Additionally, in enzymatic hydrolysis of food waste using pectinase from KL34, reducing sugar of 12.7g/L was obtained, indicating enhancement of 1.6 fold compared with that of only cellulase employment.

In this study, a total of 58 different kinds of nuruk (a traditional Korean fermentation starter) were prepared, including 46 kinds of restored nuruk from ancient documents. Each nuruk was evaluated by analysis of its saccharification power, and the enzyme activities of glucoamylase, ${\alpha}$-amylase, ${\beta}$-amylase, protease, and ${\beta}$-glucanase. The range of saccharification power (sp) of the restored nuruk ranged between 85 and 565 sp. The diastatic enzymes, ${\alpha}$-amylase, ${\beta}$-amylase, and glucoamylase, were significantly correlated to the saccharification power value; conversely, ${\beta}$-glucanase and protease did not have a correlative relationship with saccarification power. In addition, their brewing properties on chemical and organoleptic aspects of traditional alcoholic beverage production were compared. Each raw and supplementary material contained in nuruk showed its own unique characteristics on Korean alcoholic beverage brewing. For the first time, in this study, the traditional Korean nuruk types mentioned in ancient documents were restored using modernized production methods, and also characterized based on their brewing properties. Our results could be utilized as a basis for further study of traditional alcoholic beverages and their valuable microorganisms.

To explore hydrolysis methods for the efficient manufacture of sugar solutions from the freshwater alga Water-net (Hydrodictyon reticulatum, HR), acid hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis, and combined hydrolysis (acid followed by enzymatic hydrolysis) were investigated. In the one-step acid hydrolysis, the reaction of 8% solids content using 2% sulfuric acid at $120^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour was desirable. In this case, glucose 27.44 g 100 g $DM^{-1}$ could be obtained from the HR-d13 samples. In the two-step acid hydrolysis, the primary hydrolysis (HR powder : 72% sulfuric acid = 1 g : 1.5 mL) was carried out for 1 hour at $60^{\circ}C$, and then the secondary hydrolysis was done for 1 hour at $120^{\circ}C$ after addition of distilled water 23.5 mL. In this case, glucose 35.11 g/100 g DM could be obtained from the HR-d13 samples. In the combined hydrolysis, 25% solids content using 2% hydrochloric acid were reacted for 1 hour at $120^{\circ}C$, and then citrate buffer and hydrolysis enzyme complexes (E1 1.0 mL+E2 0.2 mL $g^{-1}$ dried matter) were added and reacted for 1 - 2 days at $50^{\circ}C$. In this case, glucose 33.5 g 100 g $DM^{-1}$ could be obtained from the HR-d23+26 samples. In conclusion, combined hydrolysis was likely to be more useful saccharification method of HR biomass at a practical level, considering the glucose productivity, generation of fermentation-inhibiting substances (hydroxyl methyl furfural, furfural), and limited use of strong acid.

The purpose of this study is to establish fundamental research data for quality characteristics of Jochung by analyzing traditional manufacturing process. Two different processed rices (non-glutinous rices cooked by steaming and using an electronic rice cooker) were compared in terms of water solubility index (WSI), water absorption index (WAI), paste viscosity, reducing suger content, solid content, and dextrose equivalent over soaking time. Reducing sugar content increased for the soaked non-glutinous rice, steamed sample and microwaved sample. After 4 hr, the WSI decreased as the soaking time increased. However, there was no significant difference between WAI of the raw non-glutinous rice and the soaked non-glutinous rice. As soaking time increased, paste and breakdown viscosity increased significantly. Rice was prepared by soaking in water for 12 hr followed by the saccharification time (4, 8, or 12 h) for manufacturing Jochung. The solid content and reducing sugar content of the Jochung increased as the soaking time increased. Reducing sugar content and dextrose equivalent of Jochung from steamed rice (cooked hard) were higher than those from microwaved ones. The amount of reducing sugar and dextrose equivalent was highest in Jochung from steamed rice cooked hard (saccarification for 12 hr), with 59.40${\pm}$0.11% and 76.99${\pm}$1.78, respectively. In conclusion, the highest quality characteristics were obtained in Jochung manufactured with non-glutinous rice soaked for 12 hr followed by sacharification for 12 hr.
