In other to produce vinegar using maesil, acetic acid bacteria were selected from several conventional vinegars, and total 16 acetic acid producing bacterial strains were isolated. Among the isolated strains, a strain was selected from the medium with maesil juice which showed the highest productivity of acetic acid. The strain was identified as Acetobacter sp. VC-2 and it's cultural characteristics were also investigated in the batch shake flasks. The medium containing 2% acetic acid, 6% ethanol, 0.2% glucose, 0.3% yeast extract and 30% maesil juice was suitable for acetic acid production with Acetobacter sp. VC-2 at 3$0^{\circ}C$. The acidity of culture medium was reached to 6.5% after 8 days shaking cultivation at 3$0^{\circ}C$. The main components of organic acids were acetic, citric, malic and tartaric acid, and they were 4.28, 1.38, 0.48 and 0.30%, respectively.

Biohydrogen production and analysis of microbial community were attempted from the sugar manufacturing wastewater with anaerobic fermentation process. Addtion of nutrients ($N{\cdot}P$) into sugar manufacturing wastewater stimulates hydrogen production from 9.53 to $26.67m{\ell}$ $H_2/g$ COD. Butyric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, and propionic acid were detected in the sample of the anaerobic fermentation process. Butyric acid/Acetic acid(B/A) ratio was increased 0.50 to 0.92 according to the nutrients addtion into the wastewater. Microbial community was analyzed as Clostridium sp. in the phylum of Firmicutes and Klebsiella sp., Erwinia sp., and enterobacter sp. of the class of $\gamma$-Proteobacteria. As the improvement of hydrogen production, Erwinia sp. was decreased and Klebsiella sp. was increased.

We investigated the effect of ethanol on the production of cellulose and acetic acid fermentation by Gluconacetobacter persimmonensis KJ145. Results showed that bacterial cellulose productivity was highest when 2% ethyl alcohol was added to apple-juice medium. For acetic acid production, 7% ethyl alcohol was needed. Optimal concentration of ethyl alcohol was 5% for simultaneous production of bacterial cellulose and acetic acid. For simultaneous production of bacterial cellulose and acetic acid, optimal nitrogen source and optimal concentration were corn steep liquor and 15% (w/v), respectively Optimal culture time for simultaneous production of bacterial cellulose and acetic acid was 14 days. At the optimal condition, Cluconacetobacter persimmonenis KJ145 produced 7.55 g/L of bacterial cellulose (dry weight).

Hemicellulosic hydrolysates contain not only sugars but also several kinds of ethanol fermentation inhibitory substances such as carboxylic acids, furans and phenolic compounds. In this work, emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) was chosen as a separation technology to remove the inhibitors. A basic simulated hemicellulosic hydrolysate was composed of xylose as sugar, dilute sulfuric acid solution as solvent, and acetic acid as carboxylic acid, and furfural as furan derivative or p-hydroxybenzoic acid(HBA) as phenolic compound was added to the hydrolysate when necessary. Acetic acid and HBA as weak acid could be selectively removed from the hydrolysates in all the ELM systems considered here, but furfural as aldehyde was quite hard to remove. Also, when HBA was added to the basic simulated hemicellulosic hydrolysate, both of acetic acid and HBA in the feed phase could be selectively removed up to 99% in an ELM system with tributyl phosphate as extractant.

The quality characteristics of black garlic vinegar produced by acetic acid fermentation were analyzed over a 25 day period. Black garlic vinegar was produced using black garlic 3, 6, 9 and 12 folds with water, and initial alcohol concentrations of 6~12%. The pH values of the vinegar samples were in range of 3.85~4.46 after 25 days fermentation, and the sugar contents were highest after 9 days of fermentation ($12.00{\sim}13.50^{\circ}Brix$). The total polyphenol concents of vinegars were in the range of 20.65~52.04 mg/100 mL 25 days fermentation. Pyrogallol and vanillic acid were detected in the completely fermented vinegars, and their contents increased with black garlic content. Five organic acids (lactic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, succinic acid and propionic acid) were detected after 25 days of fermentation, with the total amount of organic acids being 5,327.34~6,307.64 mg/100 mL, and the total abetic acid contents beging the highest of the organic acids at 4208.90~5,570.29 mg/100 mL. After 25 days of fermentation, the total minerals contents were higher, and depending on the quantity of black garlic added. Of the minerals, the of potassium content was the highest (366.23~1,619.67 mg/L).

Vinegar was prepared from corn produced in Gangwon province and changes to the major aroma components were investigated for acetic acid fermentation and ripening. The most prevalent volatile component in corn alcohol was determined to be 2-phenylethanol (accounting for 27% of total aroma components); the levels of 2-phenylethanol decreased to 15% after acetic acid fermentation. Principal component analysis of volatile compounds revealed that corn vinegar was distinguishable from corn alcohol. The highest content of total volatile components (50%) was acetic acid, followed by 2-phenylethanol and diethyl succinate. Ethyl phenylacetate and diethyl succinate had the highest odor activity value, and might contribute most profoundly to the aroma of corn vinegar.

This study investigated effects of types of added sugar on alcohol fermentation of oriental melon. According to the results, pH was not significantly different according to types of added sugar and fermentation process. Total acidity increased with fermentation process in all groups by recording around 1.4% at the ninth day of fermentation. For sugar content, its initial level was $22^{\circ}Brix$, and alcohol fermented oriental melon fluids added by sucrose, fructose and glucose recorded similar levels or $6.6{\sim}6.8^{\circ}Brix$ while the fluids added by honey and fructo-oligosaccharide showed a slightly higher level or $8.1^{\circ}Brix$ at the ninth day of fermentation. Although free sugar content was different in the early phase of fermentation according to types of added sugar such as sucrose, fructose and glucose, it reduced with fermentation process to nearly non-detection at the ninth day of fermentation. As organic acids, lactic acid and acetic acid were observed in all phases of fermentation and their contents became higher gradually with fermentation process. Alcohol content showed the highest level in alcohol fermented oriental melon fluid added by sucrose by recording 12.80% and was relatively low in the fluids added by fructose and oligosaccharide. For alcohol, acetaldehyde, n-propanol and iso- amylalcohol contents were not significantly different according to types of added sugar and methanol content was the lowest in the fluid added by fructose by recording 84.99 ppm.

The manufacture of vinegar provides a means of utilizing the juices of many fruits and various kinds of cereals as well as of starchy vegetables. However, no successful attempt has been made to utilize the glutinous rice powder, which is discussed from the Mi Gwa (made of glutinous rice) making, for the manufacture of vinegar. After alcoholic fermentation of the glutinous rice power, it was devided to ferment the liquor to vinegar and to examine factors affecting this fermentation. A laboratory typed vinegar generator was used to convert the alcohol in fermented liquor to acetic acid. Recycling of the fermented liquor through the generator was found essential in this process. Among many strains of Acetobacter cultures used, which was selected from ordinary home made vinegar from all over the Korea, Acetobacter No. Aa-97 proved more efficient for this fermentation. Addition of 1％ phosphate (K$_2$HPO$_4$) and 20％ apple cider vinegar. to the fermented liquor increased both the rate and efficiency of acetic acid fermentation.
