This study provided basic data for the commercialization of healthy functional beverages by examining the physicochemical characteristics, nutrient content, and microbiological safety of onion peel beverage. The total acid of onion peel beverage was 0.12 mg/g and the pH was 6.07. According to the storage period, the total acid decreased and the pH increased in all temperature ranges(25℃, 35℃, and 45℃). After 30 days of storage, it showed 0.06 mg/g in all temperature sections and maintained the pH 7 range. The total phenol content, which is a nutritional component of onion peel beverage, was 0.93 mg/g, flavonoid content was 0.25 mg/g, and quercetin content was 0.17 mg/g. The flavonoid content decreased according to the storage period, and in the case of storage temperature of 25℃, it contained 50% content up to 120 days of storage, but in the case of 35℃ and 45℃, it had a flavonoid content up to 90 days and 30 days, respectively. In the case of quercetin, a residual rate of about 50% was shown for 150 days of storage at 25℃ and 35℃. In the case of 45℃, it decreased to 35% at 30 days of storage. On the other hand, onion peel beverage maintained a viable cell count of less than 5 CFU/mL for 150 days of storage, and no coliform group was detected. As a result of analyzing the quality characteristics of onion peel beverage according to storage period, quality stability was confirmed in physicochemical characteristics and microbiological safety. Research on changes in biological activity according to low-temperature distribution or storage period is necessary.

Fermentation temperature (10 and $20^{\circ}C$) and salt concentration (10, 20, and 30%) on volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), histamine, amino nitrogen, total viable cell counts, coliform bacteria and Escherichia coli counts as the quality index in salted shrimp were investigated during fermentation. Results show that the effect of salt concentration on changes in quality index was not high compared with fermentation temperature (10 and $20^{\circ}C$) in salted shrimp treated with 10% and 20% salt concentration. However, effect of salt concentration and fermentation temperature on the quality index was not significant with 30% salt concentration. And all most whole changes of quality index were rapidly increased or decreased for 30 days of fermentation.

The optimum dosage of quicklime in producing organic fertilizer using livestock wastes vith a greater than 80% water content was analysed. After one day had elapsed to allow for the organic fentilizer to dry, the quicklime dosage and the composition of the organic fertilizer were analysed. Any from done to the organic fertilizer was also assessed. The amount of the quicklime required to stabilize livestock wastes was determined by water content of livestock wastes. For J farm(slurry style) of which livestock wastes have 94.6% of water concentration, less than 3% of total amount of livestock wastes, for H farm (scraper style) of which livestock wastes have 85% of water concentration, less then 4% of total livestock wastes and Y farm(traditional style) of which livestock wastes have 80% of water concentration, less then 5% of total livestock wastes. Generally, in order to pack the organic fertilizer, water containing quicklime0stabilized livestock wastes should be less than 35%. It takes 9 days to keep this water content for the wastes from H and Y farms(less than 85% in water content), and 12 days for the wastes from J (94.6% in water content). According to the classification standard for compost constitution by Higgins, the crude fertilizers from all 3 farms had high grade $K_2O$ and CaO, the middle grade T-N and middle or low grade $P_2O_5$. Stabilization by quicklime is known to inhibit bacterial decomposition of organic matter and the activity of pathogenic organisms. In this study, more then 99.99% of coliform group, fecal group and viable cell count were reduced. Our results indicate that livestock wastes of greater 80% water content could be used to produce organic fertilizer without the addition of a material for moisture control.

Low salt-fermented product of alaska pollack roe were prepared tentatively and also discussed the retarding effect of fermentation period by vacuum. The results were as follows. The moisture content, pH and salinity decreased slightly, but the contents of VBN and total amino acids increased gradually during fermentation regardless of ripening types. pH and salinity showed little difference with ripening types, but moisture content was a little lower and the contents of VBN was some higher in non vacuum than those in vacuum, whereas total amino acid contents were greater in vacuum. In addition, total viable cell count were similar to trend of gentle decrement after increment to some degree but were higher in non vacuum than those in vacuum. Judging from the results of physicochemical analysis, it was showed that fermentation delayed in vacuum therefore it was considered that vacuum fermentation can be effective on shelf-life extension of jeot-gal.

The addition of 5% NaCI to standard plate count (SPC) and bromcresol purple (BCP) agar showed the highest viable cell counts for Jeot-kal samples. The use of 15% glycerol as cryoprotectant showed the highest microbial survival rate at both temperatures, $-20^{\circ}C$ and $-170^{\circ}C$, and on both colony count media, SPC and BCP. During the aging, the pH of Bajirak Jogae-Jeot (fermented clam) decreased from 6.8 to 5.0. Crude protein content was 10% for Bajirak Jogae-Jeot and $6{\sim}7%$ for Myeolchi-Jeot (fermented anchovy). Microbial population of Bajirak Jogae-Jeot was $10^9\;CFU/g$ after 4 weeks of aging, but was only $10^{3-5}\;CFU/g$ in the case of Myeolchi-Jeot. The proportion of Gram positive and catalase negative bacteria in Bajirak Jogae-Jeot increased drastically during the 4 weeks of aging, which showed typical lactic bacterial fermentation. After 2 years' storage of Jeot-kal in liquid nitrogen tank, the cell counts of total aerobic or lactic bacteria were decreased, resulting in about 10% survival rate. Microbial floral change of Jeot-kal was also investigated. In the case of Bajirak Jogae-jeot, the ratio of rod to cocci and that of Gram negative to positive increased after liquid nitrogen storage. But, rod to cocci ratio of Myeolchi-jeot decreased after liquid nitrogen storage. The ratio of yeasts decreased in both cases after storage.

Total, direct viable count, and acid-tolerant epiphytic bacterial population sizes were quantified on leaves of chestnut tree (Castanea crenata S. et Z.) near Taejon Industrial Estate affected by acid precipitation and deposition as well as in the clean natural forest area, Mt. Kyejok, in Taejon city from August 1996 to August 1997. Geometric mean numbers of total, direct viable count, and acid-tolerant epiphytic bacteria were $9.9{\times}10^5cell/cm^2$, $1.6{\times}10^6cell/cm^2$, and $7.1{\times}10^3cfu/cm^2$ respectively, being 1.5, 2, and 2.6 times those in the clean area. Acid-tolerant epiphytic bacterial numbers at pH 5.6 by MPN method were $3.3{\times}10^4$ in the industrial area, about the same as the number, $3.4{\times}10^4MPN/cm^2$, of the clean area. Acid-tolerant bacterial number at pH 4.0 was $1.9{\times}10^{-1}MPN/cm^2$ in the industrial area, whereas none was detected in the clean area. Acid-tolerant bacteria at pH 3.0 were not detected at all in the industrial area as well as in the clean area. Epiphytic bacterial population sizes were generally the greatest in May when leaves are emerged and grew hut the lowest in November when defoliation occurs. These results showed that air pollutant deposition on leaves did not cause a decrease of epiphytic bacteria at least and acid deposition on leaves did cause an increase of acid-tolerant bacteria.

This study was conducted to prolong the edible period of Kimchi by adding high molecular chitosan(MW 800,000) and the product was evaluated for acid production(pH, titratable acidity), number of total viable cell, lactic acid bacteria, coli-form bacteria and sensory property during Kimchi fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$. Kimchi added with the chitosan showed a retarded decrease in pH and increase in titratable acidity. Total microbial count and lactic acid bacteria of Kimchi added with chitosan(0.3%) were about 1.3 log(cfu/g) lower than those of control throughout the fermentation of 6 to 9 days. After 15 days of fermentation, coliform bacteria of all control and samples were decreased as 1.6∼2.3 log (cfu/g) level. Kimchi samples which were added with 0.1 % chitosan and fermented at 10$^{\circ}C$ for 6 days showed not only effective in prolonging the edible periods but also better sensory scores in acceptability.

Low-salted and fermented squid products, squid jeotkal was prepared and fermented at $10^{\circ}C$. During fermentation of squid, microbiological and chemical changes were examined. Sensory evaluation was also carried out. After 20 days of fermentation, taste and flavor of the squid jeotkal containing $10\%$ NaCl were proven to be the best; in contrast, the jeotkal with $7\%$ NaCl exhibited the highest sensory score. At the period showing the best flavor and taste, viable cell count reached to $10^8/g$. Throughout the fermentation period, types of microorganisms isolated were significantly different in squid jeotkal of different salinity. In general, protease producer and bacteria producing components of jeotkal-flavor and organic acids more likely contributed to producing the jeotkal of the best quality. pH of the squid jeotkal with $10\%$ salinity maintained under pH 7.0 throughout the fermentation periods; however, in the case of the jeotkal with $7\%$ salinity, pH increased over pH 7.0 after day 25. Similar tendency was observed in the results from VBN and hypoxanthine formation. Total nitrogen was decreased as fermentation proceeded; in contrast, total free amino acids were increased.

In order to improve qualities of traditional kochujang, pear juice was added to kochujang, and the physicoche-mical and microbial characteristics of pear-added kochujang were investigated for 2 months of fermentation at 30$^{\circ}C$. Moisture contents of pear-added kochujangs increased except of 9$\%$ pear-added kochujang and crude protein contents of them decreased as the fermentation proceeded. Total sugar contents of pear-added kochujangs did not change during the fermentation period, and reducing sugar contents of them increased remarkably from early stage of fermentation. The pH of pear-added kochujangs decreased and titratable acidity of them increased during fermentation. Amino-nitrogen contents of pear-added kochujangs increased remarkable after 45 days of fermentation. Viable cells counts of yeasts in pear-added kochujangs increased to 2.2$\∼$2.9$\times$$10^{3}$CFU/g, and bacterial cell counts were in relatively constant range of 2.1$\∼$2.9$\times$$10^{7}$CFU/g at the late stage of fermentation. Color of pear-added kochujangs had no difference and 'a' value decreased slightly during fermentation. The result of sensory evaluation showed that 6$\%$ pear added kochujang were more acceptable than others.
