  • We investigated blueberry wine made using traditional yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae M-5) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Fermivin which is widely used in wine manufacturing, and measured its fermentative characteristics and antioxidant activity. S. cerevisiae M-5 is a traditional yeast isolated from domestically grown Black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis). Both S. cerevisiae M-5 and Fermivin were inoculated into blueberry juice (BBJ) up to $1{\times}10^9CFU/kg$, followed by incubation at $25^{\circ}C$ for 39 days. Final fermentation products of blueberry fermented with S. cerevisiae M-5 (BBM) presented 13.10% alcohol, $8.42^{\circ}Bx$ of sugar, and 1.183% acidity, and final fermentation products of blueberry fermented with Fermivin (BBF) presented 14.20% alcohol, $8.2^{\circ}Bx$ of sugar, and 1.153% acidity. The contents of total polyphenol and flavonoid compounds of BBM were higher than those of BBF and BBJ. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities and reducing power of BBM were higher than those of BBF. The sensory evaluation revealed that BBM showed excellent flavor, taste, and overall acceptability compared with BBF. Based on these results, the possibility of industrial utilization of S. cerevisiae M-5 as traditional yeast was confirmed by sensory evaluation and antioxidant activity. Fermentation rate of S. cerevisiae M-5 was similar to Fermivin, which is used in the food industry.

  • This study investigated the quality changes in whole super sweet corn during thermal processing to extend its shelf-life. To minimize the reduction of unique texture of whole sweet corn after the sterilization, the alcohol sanitation applied and the cold point of a whole corn ear was determined using a computer simulation. The cold point was located between the corn kernel and the cob. The microorganisms on the surface of sweet corn were reduced by more than 1 log CFU/g after alcohol sanitation, then the whole corn was treated to satisfy the degree of sterilization ($F_{121.1}=4$). The quality of sterilized sweet corn was compared with the control that was treated with steaming. The quality changes of sterilized sweet corn during storage were monitored for 9 months at $25^{\circ}C$. The hardness was maintained within 30% of its initial value. The minimum of hardness was $464.50{\pm}103.35g$ and maximum of hardness was $514.50{\pm}81.83g$. The differences in the sugar content among the samples were found, but the sugar content of corn kernel remained within 30% of the control, ranging from $28.83{\pm}1.05$ to $34.36{\pm}0.42%$. The yellowness was higher than that of control by 5%. The maximum value of yellowness was $34.36{\pm}0.42$. The general bacteria and molds and yeasts in corn kernel stored at $25^{\circ}C$ were not detected after 9 months of storage at $25^{\circ}C$. Therefore, in this study, we have demonstrated that the thermal sterilized method extends the shelf-life of whole sweet corn with minimizing its quality changes over 6 months in room temperature.

  • New Wild Grape berry weighs approximately 3.7g, which is one fourth of the weight of the general grape wine (12.2g). The pH of New Wild Grape wine is around 3.34, which is lower by 0.3 than that (3.62) of general grape wine. It contains higher organic acids, so it has stronger sour taste. The sugar content of New Wild Grape is 17° Brix, which is higher than that (15° Brix) of general grape wine. The color of New Wild Grape is blackish, owing to the lower lightness, redness, and yellowness compared with those of general grape wine. Depending on the mixing with or without oak tree, there is little difference in the pH, organic acid, reducing sugar, and amount of alcohol after ripening for 1 year. In taste, New Wild Grape wine mixing with oak tree is evaluated better than that of the wine without oak tree. Especially, in the case of the wine mixing with oak tree's sawdust, the quality in color, taste, and smell became improved. After fermentation, the pH of New Wild Grape Wine ripened with oak tree charcoal increased from 3.82 to 3.86, as it gets more oak tree charcoal, and the organic acid decreased from 0.91㎖ to 0.86㎖. However, there is no difference in alcohol amount. Lightness in color tended to be reduced, whereas redness tended to be increased. Adding 3% of oak tree charcoal made the taste and smell improved. When fermenting New Wild Grape Wine with mixing 1% of oak tree's sawdust or 3% of oak tree charcoal, there is little difference in the pH and the organic acid, whereas there is a little difference in those of New Wild Grape Wine without addition of oak tree charcoal. As the addition of oak tree charcoal increased, the lightness and redness became higher. When fermenting New Wild Grape Wine with mixing 1% of oak tree's sawdust or 3% of oak tree charcoal in oak tree barre, the taste became improved.

  • 1. Two fermentation methods have been compared for the production of Takju (Korean native Sake). One method (S1) uses 'Nuruk' (Korean mold wheat) and the other method (S2) uses 'Nuruk' and mold rice. The chemical analysis of source material, also, have been made in order the check the quantitative changes during the fermentation. The results are summarized below: a. The rate of fermentation was slower for the S2 method than for the S1 method. However, the residual sugar in the S2 method was smaller and the amount of alcohol produced the same as with the S1 method. This was true in spite of the fact that the total initial sugar content for the S2 method was 10 percent below that of S1. b. With both the S1 and S2 methods, 80 percent of the total alcohol production was obtained with in 3 to 4 days. c. The pH value of the base material at the beginning of fermentation was markedly different between the two methods I.e.6.0 to 6.2 for S1 and 4.8 to 5.2 for S2. However, after one or two day the pH of both materials was about the same 4.0 to 4.2 and remained at this value unit the fermentation was complete. 2. Organic acids and Sugars in the source materials have been detected by the paper partition chromatography(p.p.c.) method and the followings are obtained. a. Important Organic acids are Fumalic, malic Succinic, Citric, Acetic aicds in polished rice and Fumalic, Succinic, Acetic, Citric, Malic and Oxalic acids 'Nuruk'. The same kinds of acids as in the rice are found in mold rice, However, amount of Citrice acid is markedly increased in mold rice. b. The important Sugar, Glucose, Fructose and Raffinose in polished rice, Gulcose, Fructo, se, Xylose and one which supposed to be Kojibjose in 'Nuruk'. Glucose and those supposed to be Isomaltose, Kojibiose and Sakebiose and found in rice mold, however, no Sucrose, which was exist in polished rice, was found. 3. The important Organic acids found in fermenting mash using the p.p.c. method were Lactic, Succinic and Acetic. Citric acid identified early in the fermentation, S2 method. remained throughout. However, with the S1 method Cirtic acid was detected only during the late stage of fermentation. Sugars not found in the original materials were two which supposed to be Isomaltotriose and Pentose. Maltose found at the beginning of the fermentation disappeared within one day, Isomaltose was detected throughout the period of fermentation. 4. The Somogyi method which was employed to determine the quantitative changes of sugars in the orginal meterial and mach, showed that polished rice containes in order and in largest amounts Sucrose, Glucose, Raffinose and Fructose. 'Nuruk' contained almost equal quantities of Glucose and Fructose. However, the Glucose content of the mold rice exceeded that originally in the polished rice by 25 or 30 times. Only a small quantity of free sugars was found in the mash at the end of the fermentation.

  • In order Nuruk to improve the quality of millet wine, a traditional Jeju cereal wine, yeasts and molds were isolated from 35 kinds of Nuruk collected nationwide. Isolated strains were screened for saccharification of starch and brewing of millet wine. Fermentation characteristics of millet wine with different types of Nuruk were also investigated. The average number of microbial populations in the Nuruk were $6.4{\times}10^5{\sim}4.5{\times}10^7\;cfu/g$ for molds and $1.4{\times}10^4{\sim}7.7{\times}10^7\;cfu/g$ for yeasts. Among the 169 strains of molds and 103 strains of yeasts, 16 strains were screened for saccharifying activity on starch as a substrate, and one yeast strain was screened for the brewing of millet wine. A8-3, supposed as Aspergillus sp., showed the highest enzyme activities of glucdamylase, ${\alpha}-amylase$ and xylanase while B23-3 strain, supposed as Rhizopus sp., showed the highest saccharifying activity. A10-4, supposed as Saccharomyces sp., showed the highest level of weight loss from $CO_2$ evolution, sugar and alcohol tolerance during fermentation. When the Nuruk was made after inoculation with the selected strains, saccharifying activity was higher for the co-cultivation of A8-3 and B23-3 than individual cultivation of each strain. Similar saccharifying activities were shown in both disc-type and pellet-type Nuruk. It was suggested that pellet-type Nuruk could improve fermentation yield. The collected Nuruk consisted of $10{\sim}13%$ moisture, $55{\sim}70%$ total sugar, $10{\sim}18%$ crude protein, $0.2{\sim}1.0%$ crude fat and $1.8{\sim}2.1%$ ash. The Nuruk made in this study was composed of $12{\sim}15%$ moisture, $61{\sim}71%$ total sugar, $15{\sim}20%$ crude protein, $0.4{\sim}1.5%$ crude fat and $1.1{\sim}1.5%$ ash.

  • Korean duok has a many kinds of shape and cooking preparation and they were improved variably Also they were famous for special festival food and theirs demand are becoming popular. Since theirs retrogradation are degraded its taste and texture during the storage which should be resolved in most food industry. There is a possibility that storage temperaure and additives may involve in retrogradation. Recently Shon et al. reported that some sugar alcohols was effective for reducing it. We can search a kinds of additives, trehalose which can protect from shocks by freezing or heating. Furthermore they emphasized the trehalose can act as substitute for bound water in dehydration situation, and trehalose more effective than oligosaccharide or sugar alcohol. Therefore we tried to exam the changes of many characteristics of glutinous and rice duck with 2 levels trehalose in the storage.

  • Four different yeasts (Fermivin (FM), Saf-instant yeast red (SI), Angest wine active dry yeast (AW) and Angest instant yeast high sugar (AI)) were used for the fermentation of black raspberry wine. The amount of reducing sugars in FM (2.7%) and AI (2.8%) were higher than those in SI (2.4%) and AW (2.5%). The amount of glucose (the major free sugar) was higher in AW (2.57 mg/mL) and AI (2.50 mg/mL) than FM (2.03 mg/mL) and SI (1.75 mg/mL). AW (11.95%) had the highest alcohol content, while SI (11.75%) had the lowest. The pH of FM (pH 3.73) was the lowest, and there were no significant differences in total acidity among the samples. The major organic acid in the wines was citric acid (6.71~8.18 mg/mL) and the amount of organic acids depended on the type of yeasts. The amount of malic acid was highest in SI (2.92 mg/mL), and lowest in AI (1.83 mg/mL). The Hunter color test showed that SI was highest in lightness, redness and yellowness, whereas AI was lowest. There were no differences in turbidity between the samples. There were no significant differences in total phenolic contents (TPC) and total anthocyanin contents (TAC). However, the TPC and TAC of black raspberry wines were higher than those in commercial red wines. The antioxidant activities of wines (determined by ABTS and FRAP) increased in the order of FM, AI, AW and SI. It could not be concluded which yeast is adequate for the fermentation of black raspberry wine because any of the tested yeasts showed the best in all the quality characteristics of the wines.

  • The cooking processes of Yackwa writen in 27 Korean books were reviewed. The changes of the names, shapes, materials and methods of dough, and the methods of frying, the materials and methods of soaking, garnishes were reviewed based on the historical literatures. 1. The changes of names of Yackwa were Yackwa, Kwajul, Chokwa and the shapes were bird, animal, round or cubic. The diameter was about 3.5cm, and thickness was from 0.5cm to 1.5cm. 2. The major ingredients of Yackwa were flour, honey, sesame oil and alcohol beverages. Sometimes, soybean powder and rice powder were used instead of flour, and chochung, sugar water, sugar syrup were used instead of honey. Sesame oil was usually used but salad oil were used occasionally. Usually pure liquor, distilled spirits, rice wine, cloudy and coarse rice wine, whisky were used as alcoholic ingredient and water was used at boiling state. Sesame and sesame salt, ginger and ginger juice, pepper powder, pine nuts powder, salt were used as minor ingredients. 3. Though the flour was kneaded extensively or gently, the latter was peculier since 1940. 4. The dough was fried in oil at $120{\sim}160^{\circ}C$ for $5{\sim}15$ minutes. at that time, The shape will be broken if temperature of oil is too low and too harden if temperature is too high. 5. Fried dough was soaked in honey before 1940, but thereafter other sweeteners, such as chochung, syrup were also used. Ginger juice, dried ginger, citron juice were used for flavor. 6. For enhancing the flavor and softening excess oil was removed from the fried Yackwa, and then it was soaked in honey. 7. The garnishes of Yackwa were pine nuts powder, cinnamon powder, sugar, etc.

  • In this study we investigated the possibility of preparing brewed brown rice makgeolli, a traditional Korean rice wine, under diverse conditions. For this purpose the physicochemical characteristics of makgeolli brewed at different temperatures, utilizing a variety of nuruks, the traditional Korean fermentation agent, were studied. The alcohol content was seen to be highest when brewing occurred at $30^{\circ}C$, with the nuruk TN producing 16.2%. At $20^{\circ}C$TN produced 14.1% alcohol content. The alcohol content was therefore higher, by about 2%, for $30^{\circ}C$ fermentations than $20^{\circ}C$ fermentations. Similarly, saccharifying activity was influenced by temperature and sugar content, with a higher activity seen at $30^{\circ}C$ than at $20^{\circ}C$. As the fermentations progressed acidification petered out, with titratable acidity being 0.50-0.67% in all end samples. On the Hunter L, a, b scale; the a value decreased slightly, while the b value increased steadily during the fermentation process. Measurements of total organic acids were highest at $30^{\circ}C$, with the nuruk AK, at about 550 mg%. The content of citric acid was the highest at $30^{\circ}C$, being 230-310 mg% in all samples. However, more lactic acid was detected at $20^{\circ}C$ than at $30^{\circ}C$. Total free amino acid was highest at $30^{\circ}C$, with TN at $8,605{\mu}g/ml$, AK at $6,083{\mu}g/ml$, and RJ at $2,381{\mu}g/ml$. Total free amino acid and essential amino acid was shown to be higher at $30^{\circ}C$ than at $20^{\circ}C$. The bioactive substance ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid was also higher at $30^{\circ}C$, with TN at $223{\mu}g/ml$. From all of these results, we surmise that brown rice makgeolli manufacturing conditions are optimal at $30^{\circ}C$ fermentation temperatures and using the nuruk TN for brewing vinegar. In addition, the nuruk used clearly affects the quality of brown rice makgeolli and an appropriate method to determine the best nuruk for various purposes should be pursued.

  • This study was carried out to develop rose sparkling wine with reed root. To make the base wine with reed root extracts, we first blended wild grape wine with reed root extracts (1:9 v/v) and fermented the mixture for 14 days at $20^{\circ}C$. The pH of the control and the rose base wine with reed root extract (RWE) decreased with increasing fermentation time, but acidity showed the opposite behavior. The control and RWE had $7.33^{\circ}Brix$, and $6.90^{\circ}Brix$, respectively at 14 days, with higher sugar content in the control than in RWE. The alcohol content increased as the fermentation progressed and was higher in RWE than in the control at 14.20% and, 13.83%, respectively. Regarding the color, the lightness decreased as the fermentation progressed. The total polyphenol contents of the control and RWE were 29.19 mg/100 mL and, 34.97 mg/100 mL. The flavonoids decreased as the fermentation progressed. The ABTS radical scavenging activity of the control and RWE were 44.26% and, 64.37% while the DPPH radical scavenging activity showed similar results in the control and RWE. In the second test, we added RWE to base wine, because yeast rearing was inhibited at 14% alcohol content. We made sparkling rose wine with 4 strains and fermented the wine for 8 days at $20^{\circ}C$. The pH of the samples decreased with increasing fermentation time, but the acidity showed the opposite behavior. The $^{\circ}Brix$ decreased and the alcohol content increased with increasing fermentation time. The pressure in sample A was $4.30kgf/cm^2$ at 8 days which was the highest in the samples. In the sensory evaluation, the color, flavor, softness and overall acceptability of the control was higher than the other samples. In conclusion, Saccharomyces cerevisiae Vitilevure Quartz was overall the most suitable rose sparkling wine.
