Development of synthetic vinegar has been focused on the acidic taste typically caused by acetic acid. Recently, consumer interest in fermented vinegars which contain a variety of valuable nutrients increased growth of the beverage industry. Vinegar beverages made of a variety of foreign fruits such as pineapple, grapefruit, and aloe are being commercialized to meet market needs from female consumers interested in beauty. However, commercialization of traditional fermented vinegars using regional products such as rice has not been successful yet compared to fruit vinegar beverages. Systematic research for development and commercialization of functional value-added traditional vinegars made of regional agricultural products should be performed. In this study, type and manufacturing methods of traditional vinegar were reviewed based on classic literatures.

In this study, author suggests menu selection according to disease and standard cooking methods for hospital patients. Nutritional state of patients must be considered to select menu. Especially age, sex, and disease symptoms are important factors to determine the nutritional requirement. Special diet should be delivered to cure the patients with different appetite, digesting ability and symptoms. Menu must be planed including various food although nutritional restrictions should be considered, In this point of view, effective cooking methods and considerations of various Korean traditional food as hospital food are suggested. Recipe of traditional Korean beverage and cookies are also presented.

The aim of this study was to manufacture functional high protein fermented beverage, using whey protein concentrate (WPC) and Lactobacillus plantarum DK211 isolated from kimchi, and to evaluate the physicochemical, functional, and sensory properties of the resulting product. The fermented whey beverage (FWB) was formulated with whey protein concentrate 80 (WPC 80), skim milk powder, and sucrose; and fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum DK211 as single, or mixed with Lactococcus lactis R704, a commercial starter culture. The pH, titratable acidity, and viable cell counts during fermentation and storage were evaluated. It was found that the mixed culture showed faster acid development than the single culture. The resulting FWB had high protein (9%) and low fat content (0.2%). Increased viscosity, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activity were observed after fermentation. A viable cell count of 10⁹ CFU/mL in FWB was achieved within 10 h fermentation, and it remained throughout storage at 15℃ for 28 d. Sensory analysis was also conducted, and compared to that of a commercial protein drink. The sensory scores of FWB were similar to those of the commercial protein drink in most attributes, except sourness. The sourness was highly related with the high lactic acid content produced during fermentation. The results showed that WPC and vegetable origin lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi might be used for the development of a high protein fermented beverage, with improved functionality and organoleptic properties.

The physicochemical properties of carrot beverage fermented by Leuconstoc mesenteroides SM isolated from carrot juice were dependent upon the sucrose concentration and beet extract content. The addition of beet extract increased the consistency index and bioconversion of sucrose in the carrot juice fortified with Phellinus linteus extract, showing the highest consistency value at 2% beet extract. The polyphenol content and antioxidant effect of fermented carrot beverage were increased as the content of beet extract increased. Particularly, the consistency of fermented carrot beverage was greatly increased by the cold storage for 120 hr. After the cold storage for 2 weeks, fermented carrot beverage fortified beet extract showed the red-purple color with higher color value (a) and the viable cell counts of $10^9$ CFU/mL.

Dongchimi as a Korean traditional fermented food was studied for the possibility of developing into as an ion beverage. Reverse osmosis process was applied to the concentration of dongchimi juice in this study. Dongchimi was prepared at different concentrations of salt and fermentation temperatures. Mineral components of concentrated dongchimi juice were analyzed and compared with those of ion beverage products. The changes of sugar contents and mineral contents were studied depending on different fermentation temperatures, periods and salt concentration. The amounts of mineral components such as $K^{+},\;Mg^{2+}\;and\;Ca^{2+}$ were increased during fermentation but slightly decreased in the last period. It was found that the concentrated dongchimi juice could be used as an improved ion beverage in future, since the electrolytic dissociation components were much more in the concentrated dongchimi juice than those in the existing ion beverages.

Shelf-life of functional beverage for the purpose of body fat reduction during storage was estimated at different temperatures. To estimate quality change of functional beverage, vacuum gauge, sugar concentration pit acidify, Hunter's color value, browning color intensity, total cell count and sensory evaluation were measured periodically. Vacuum gauge, sugar concentration pH and acidity were little changed and total cell count was not detected. By using the correlation coefficient between sensory evaluation and physicochemical properties, b-value was chosen for quality index of functional beverage. $Q_{10}-values$ for shelf-life were in the range of $2.13{\sim}2.59$. When sensory evaluation was 2.5 at $50^{\circ}C$, storage period was 6.83 weeks. And shelf-life calculated by $Q_{10}-values$ were 73.89, 34.21 and 13.21 weeks in $20^{\circ}C,\;30^{\circ}C\;and\;40^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This study evaluated the sensory quality characteristics of gamma-irradiated Sujeonggwa a Korean traditional cinnamon beverage during storage, and the mutagenicity of the beverage. The minimum irradiation dose required to ensure the microbiological safety of powdered Sujeonggwa was 4.5 kGy. Sensory characteristics, and the Hunter's color value, of Sujeonggwa, deteriorated with increased irradiation doses, but no significant changes in sensory qualities were found during storage. The Ames test yielded no evidence that gamma irradiation induced mutagenicity in Sujeonggwa powder.

Tuak is a traditional alcoholic beverage, one of the most widely known in the North Sumateran region of Indonesia. It is produced by a spontaneous fermentation process through the application of one or more several kinds of wood bark or root, called raru (Xylocorpus wood bark or a variety of forest mangosteen), into the sap water of sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) for 2−3 days. In this research, yeast that are potentially useful for ethanol production was isolated from Tuak and identified. Based on analysis of D1/D2 domain sequence of LSU (large subunit) rRNA genes, those isolated yeast strains, HT4, HT5, and HT10 were identified as Candida tropicalis. Fermentation test of these C. tropicalis isolates displayed an ability to produce 6.55% (v/v) and 4.58% ethanol at 30℃ and 42℃, respectively. These results indicated C. tropicalis isolates more rapidly utilize glucose and obtain higher levels of the production of ethanol at the higher temperature of 42℃ than S. cerevisiae, a common yeast used for bioethanol fermentation.

Makgeolli is a traditional cloudy-white Korean rice wine with an alcohol content of 6~7%. The present study investigated the morphological characteristics, carbon-utilizing ability, fatty acid composition, alcohol resistance, glucose tolerance, and flocculence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y98-5 and Pichia anomala Y197-13, non-S. cerevisiae isolated from Nuruk, which is used in brewing Makgeolli. Similar morphological characteristics were observed for both isolated wild yeast strains; and the carbon source assimilation of Y197-13 differed from that of other P. anomala strains. Strain Y197-13 was negative for D-trehalose, mannitol, arbutin, I-erythritol, and succinic acid. The major cellular fatty acids of strain Y197-13 included C18:2n6c (33.94%), C18:1n9c (26.97%) and C16:0 (20.57%). Strain Y197-13 was Crabtree-negative, with 60% cell viability at 12% (v/v) ethanol. The flocculation level of strain Y197-13 was 8.38%, resulting in its classification as a non-flocculent yeast.
