This study evaluated the potential of utilizing the osmotic solution from dried mango processing as alternative raw material for mango wine making. Fermentation was carried out using two kinds of yeast strains Saccharomyces bayanus, Lalvin EC-1118 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Lalvin D-47 at 20$^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. Physicochemical analysis during fermentation was performed for each treatment and the resulting wine samples were analyzed for color, volatiles and sensory properties. Results of physicochemical analysis between the two fermenting samples as well as the wine samples show almost similar results regardless of the yeast strains. Wine color of sample wines after storage were not significantly different at p<0.05 and when compared with a commercial mango wine. From the volatile analysis, esters and alcohols constituted majority of the compounds. Production of several esters, alcohols, acids and terpenes were affected by yeast strain used in fermentation. Results of sensory analysis showed that wines fermented by S. bayanus EC-1118 strain was more acceptable although sensory scores between the treatments and the reference wine showed significant differences in all the attributes evaluated, except for bitterness. The utilization of osmotic solution from dried mango process could produce similar properties with existing commercial mango wines although there is still need for further work on the improvement of some sensory attributes of the mango wines.

Background: Ginseng contains many small metabolites such as amino acids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, and ginsenosides. However, little is known about the relationships between microorganisms and metabolites during the entire ginseng fermentation process. We investigated metabolic changes during ginseng fermentation according to the inoculation of food-compatible microorganisms. Methods: Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) datasets coupled with the multivariate statistical method for the purpose of latent-information extraction and sample classification were used for the evaluation of ginseng fermentation. Four different starter cultures (Saccharomyces bayanus, Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Leuconostoc mesenteroide) were used for the ginseng extract fermentation. Results: The principal component analysis score plot and heat map showed a clear separation between ginseng extracts fermented with S. bayanus and other strains. The highest levels of fructose, maltose, and galactose in the ginseng extracts were found in ginseng extracts fermented with B. subtilis. The levels of succinic acid and malic acid in the ginseng extract fermented with S. bayanus as well as the levels of lactic acid, malonic acid, and hydroxypruvic acid in the ginseng extract fermented with lactic acid bacteria (L. plantarum and L. mesenteroide) were the highest. In the results of taste features analysis using an electronic tongue, the ginseng extracts fermented with lactic acid bacteria were significantly distinguished from other groups by a high index of sour taste probably due to high lactic acid contents. Conclusion: These results suggest that a metabolomics approach based on GC-MS can be a useful tool to understand ginseng fermentation and evaluate the fermentative characteristics of starter cultures.

Kiwifruit wine was prepared with the domestic new cultivars 'Jecy Sweet' and 'Jecy Gold', and quality characteristics were investigated during fermentation with Saccharomyces bayanus Lalvin and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Fermivin and aging for 120 days at $15^{\circ}C$. Total acidities were 0.94% and 1.22% for 'Jecy Sweet' and 'Jecy Gold' at the beginning, respectively, and increased gradually during fermentation; highest acidities were 1.49% and 1.26%, respectively, on the 6th day of fermentation regardless of yeast strain. Alcohol content increased greatly from the 4th day of fermentation and was highest (10.2%) in 'Jecy Sweet' fermented by S. bayanus Lalvin, followed by 9.2% in 'Jecy Sweet' fermented by S. cerevisiae Fermivin and 9.4% in 'Jecy Gold' fermented by Lalvin and Fermivin on the 12th day of fermentation. Soluble solid content was $24.8^{\circ}Brix$ at the beginning and decreased gradually during fermentation. The lowest soluble solid content was $9.7^{\circ}Brix$ on the 6th day of fermentation regardless of kiwifruit cultivar and yeast strain. Total phenols in 'Jecy Sweet' (1,127 mg/L) were 1.32-fold higher than those in 'Jecy Gold' (848 mg/L) and decreased greatly until the 6th day of fermentation, after which they increased slightly until the 12th day of fermentation. During aging, total phenols increased until the 30th day and were maintained for 120 days. Quality characteristics of kiwifruit wines were similar between the two yeast strains but were different between kiwifruit cultivars. Contents of ethanol and total phenolics were higher in 'Jecy Sweet' wine than in 'Jecy Sweet' wine.

In order to manufacture the alcoholic drinks using cultured wild ginseng roots(CWGR) of 5 and $10\%$ (w/v), sugar content of fermentation media was adjusted to 24-25 $^{\circ}$Brix with white sugar and glucose. And 3 kinds of yeast (S. cerevisiae(KCCM 50757), S. cerevisiae (KCCM 50583) and S. bayanus(ATCC 10601) were used and then the quality of alcoholic drinks was analyzed by physical, chemical and sensory evaluation. Alcohol content was highest value of $15.8\%$ in $10\%$ of CWGR, white sugar, and S. bayanus(ATCC 10601). Major alcohols were ethanol and 1-propanol. Number of yeast cells increased to 5 days fermentation and slightly decreased afterwards. The pH was decreased abruptly from 5.0 in initial fermentation to 3.1-4.1 in 5 days fermentation. Total sugar contents were decreased continuously with fermentation periods and showed 7.0-10.5 $^{\circ}$Brix in 20 days fermentation. Saponin patterns and contents were various and higher in wine treated with S. bayanus(ATCC 10601). From the sensory evaluation, the highest score of overall quality was observed in the alcoholic beverage of $10\%$(w/v) of CWGR, glucose, and S. cerevisiae(KCCM 50583).

Possibility of utilization of fig as a source of vinegar was tested. Alcohol fermentation was conducted by inoculation of Saccharomyces bayanus into fig juice. After 5 days of fermentation at 27oC, fig wine with alcohol content of 13.6%. Then fig vinegar was produced by cultivation of Acetobacter sp. E which was isolated from fig vinegar. Optimum concentration of alcohol, starter content and fermentation temperature for the acid production were 8~9%, 5% and 27~30oC, respectively. More acetic acid was produced by adding 0.5% of yeast extract and 0.01% of Ca pantothenate. Adjustment pH of culture broth with acetic acid and shaking cultivation method were not effective in higher yield of acid production. Addition of sulfite up to 50 ppm did not inhibit for acetic acid fermentation. Addition of 1% bentonite or 1% kakishibu was more effective for the clarification of fig vinegar than any other clarifying agents tested. During aging and racking, acidity, absorbance and tannin content of fig vinegar decreased, while redness and yellowness increased. Aged and racked fig vinegar showed higher sensory score than non aged one in the aspects of color and overall acceptability.

This study was carried out for the purpose of improving the persimmon vinegar. Crushed persimmon(persimmon pulp) was used at alcohol fermentation using Saccharomyces bayanus for persimmon alcohol medium preparation. Glucose(8.39%) and fructose(7.96%) were the dominant free sugar in persimmon pulp before the at cohol fermentation. They decreased abruptly during alcohol fermentation and glucose was consumed more rapidly than fructose. Final alcohol concentration was finally reached to 8%(v/v) in 5 days for mentation of persimmon pulp. Pectinase pre-treatment of persimmon pulp resulted in tusker contents of galacturonic acid, galactose, methyl alcohol and isoamyl alcohol in main mash for alcohol fermentation than those in main mash prepared without pectinase pre-treatment. After alcohol fermentation tannin concentration was 350ppm and astringency was not perceived.

The yeast strains used for fermentation are known to influence the qualities of wine. We investigated the effects of fermentation using different yeast strains on the properties of wine produced from 'Hayward' kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa). The physicochemical characteristics of wine produced using various yeast strains for fermentation were also analyzed. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Gervin No.5 strain (GVN), S. bayanus Lavin strain EC1118 (EC1118), and S. cerevisiae Red star Davis No. 796 (No.796) are commercial dry yeast strains selected for optimization of fermentation. Although the soluble solid contents of samples fermented by all three yeast strains decreased by a similar extent, the levels of alcohol production differed, particularly during the first week of fermentation. Use of the GVN strain resulted in the highest alcohol concentration (13.8%, v/v), whereas fermentation with No.796 and EC1118 strains yielded alcohol contents of 13.0% and 12.5% (both v/v), respectively. Upon sensory evaluation, GVN-fermented wine had a strong taste and bitterness, with high acid and alcohol contents. Wine fermented using No.796 had a chemical profile similar to that of GVN-fermented product, but the taste remained sweet, consistent with the lower alcohol content. EC1118-fermented wine was soft and sweet in taste, high in flavor, and had a low alcohol content. Total phenolic levels and antioxidant activities in wine fermented by EC1118 were significantly higher than in wines prepared using No.796 or GVN. When previously described characteristics were additionally considered, EC1118 was selected as an optimum strain for further study. In conclusion, fermentation of kiwifruit using different yeast strains yielded wines with distinct characteristics. The yeast strain EC1118 had the most desirable properties, and is considered suitable for kiwifruit fermentation. Valuable attributes of wine fermented by this yeast include overall sensory acceptance, an appropriate level of total phenolics, and good antioxidant activity.

Electric polarity of working electrode and counter electrode was periodically switched at the intervals of 30 sec. Electric current generated by anodic and cathodic reaction of working electrode was reached to +30 and -12 mA in low intensity pulsed electric field (LIPEF). The yeast growth, ethanol production, and malate consumption in the initial cultivation time were more activated in the LIPEF than the conventional condition (CC). Polyphenol, total phenolic contents (TPC), and total flavonols (TF) were gradually decreased in all cultivation conditions during incubation for 2 weeks but antioxidation activity was not. TF was significantly lower in 3 and 4 V of LIPEF than CC and 2 V of LIPEF; however, the polyphenol, TPC, and antioxidation activity were a little influenced by the LIPEF. After ripening of the winemaking culture for 15 days, polyphenol, TPC, and TF were a little increased but the antioxidation activity was not.

This study investigated the effects of 3 different strains of my yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae Montrachet (UCD #522), S. bayanus Pasteur Champagne (UCD #595), and S. cerevisiae Epernay (CEG) and two grape varieties (Tamnara and M.B.A) on the quality of red wines. During fermentation, sugar content decreased and alcohol content increased Addition of my yeast increased fermentation speed for both grape varieties. Sensory quality tests and tests with an electronic tongue showed that red wine made from M.B.A grapes was superior to that made from Tamnara grapes and that red wine made without the addition of my yeast was better than that made by using dry yeast.
