Experiment was conducted to investigate the amount of hydrogen gas and the characteristics of organic acids production from various carbohydrates by anaerobic bacteria. The variation characteristics of organic acids and hydrogen gas production at the fermentative culture were also studied in the presence of heavy metals such as cadmium or lopper. 3.43 mole hydrogen per mole of hexose was produced when sucrose was used as a carbon source. Acetic acid and butyric acid were main products by the anaerobic fermentation. Hydrogen production rate was decreased and formation of acetic acid was increased as the concentration of heavy metals was increased in the medium. The inhibition of hydrogen production by the copper was more serious than the cadmium.

In fermentation characteristics, R2 was suitable for fast start and fermentation, while UCD530 was tool suitable far complete fermentation at 25$^{\circ}C$. T73 and AC- strains produced much more total acid compared to other strains and it was concerned with producing large amount of succinic acid and acetic acid. OC-2, UCD530, Beaujolais, and BC strains revealed low fermentation efficiency (below 62.0%), but EC1118, RC212, T73 and BM45 strains showed opposit result (above 70.0%). D254 and Wadenswil 27 seemed to have excellent cohesive ability because these two yeast strains made somewhat hard precipitation at the bottom after complete fermentation. T73 and CEG gave higher amounts of acetic acid (above 630 mg/L), while UCD530, W-3 and Beaujolais recorded low concentration (below 200 mg/L). In sulfur dioxide tolerance, preferable culturing temperature and times were 25$^{\circ}C$ and 72 hr respectively. The strains R2, BM45 and L2056 revealed high sulfur dioxide tolerance (above 30mg/L), white 71B, Wadenswil 27 and Beaujolais showed the opposite result (below 5mg/L)

This study was conducted to examine the effects of the kinds and the levels of salted and fermented seafoods, shrimp and juice of anchovy, on the properties of kimchi during fermentation. There were no significant differences in pH and contents of total acid, reducing sugar, and organic acid examined except lactic acid contents among the kimchi samples at the same fermentation period. Until four days of fermentation, kimchi containing higher level of salted and fermented anchovy juice tended to have greater number of total microorganisms and of Leuconostoc genus microorganisms than the other kimchi samples. Sensory characteristics were not significantly different among the samples at the same fermentation period. significant decrease in pH and in reducing sugar content, and increase in total acid content were noticed in all the kimchi samples during fermentation. This was more marked in kimchi samples containg salted and fermented seafoods. Contents of malic and succinic acids decreased while those of actic and acetic acids increased with longer fermentation. There were significant changes in the numbers of microorganisms during fermentation. Carbonic mouthfeel, salty taste, sour taste and staled flay or of all the kimchi samples increased while firmness and crispness decreased with extended fermentation.

This study was conducted to investigate the preservative effects of low molecular weight chitosan with and without other preservatives on kimchi at $10^{\circ}C$ during 12 days of fermentation. The pH and titratable acidity of kimchi with preservatives (PSV) were higher and lower, respectively, than those of control kimchi (CON). The decrease in reducing sugar content was more remarkable in CON than in PSV as the fermentation proceeded. Contents of lactic acid and acetic acid were lower in PSV, especially in kimchi with chitosan dissolved in acetic acid (CH-B) and in the one containing both chitosan and Na-benzoate (CHS) than those in CON. The numbers of total viable cells, Leuconostoc sp. and Lactobacillus plantarum were higher in CON than those in PSV. Sensory firmness and green flavor were significantly lower in CON than in CH-B and CHS. Sourness and staled flavor of CH-B and CHS tended to be lower than those of other kimchi samples.

Volatile flavor compounds of radish fermented by lactic acid bacteria were extracted using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 45 volatile flavor compounds were identified. The volatile flavor compounds in unfermented radish mostly consisted of sulfur-containing compounds (95.85%) and aldehydes (2.61%). While the composition ratio of volatile flavor compounds in radish fermented for two days changed to sulfur-containing compounds (75.53%) and acids (11.12%). As the fermentation period was increased, the contents of dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, diallyl sulfide, diallyl disulfide, and diallyl trisulfide, which have unique garlic and scallion flavor, decreased, and acetic acid and 1-hexanol, which have a sour and fruity flavor, increased. These changes in volatile flavor compounds seemed to have affected the flavor characteristics of fermented radish.

In order to utilize the Koryangju distillers' grain for the acetic acid fermentation, the extracting methods and effects of the extracts on the fermentations were investigated. The result obtained are as follows. 1. Cold extracting method by which the distillers grain is extracted with 3 times of water for 60 hours at room temperature was better than hot extracting method in terms of the fermentation rate and the quality of vinegar product. 2. Optimum conditions and some results of surface fermentation based on the medium added by the extracts are as follows, optimum amount of the extracts to be added to the medium is 20-30% of total media; acetic acid production rate at log phase was 0.16g/100$m\ell$, hr.; recovery was 91.17%; and the time of 40 hours was required for the completion of fermentation. 3. Organoleptic quality of the vinegar which is produced by adding the extracts was superior to two commercial products examined.

In this study, we selected an Escherichia coli strain (E. coli MG 1655) metabolizing arabinose derived from acid hydrolyzed black liquor as a carbon source and investigated effect of organic acids (acetic acid, formic acid, and lactic acid) presented in black liquor on growth of the E. coli MG 1655. We measured growth of E. coli MG 1655 under various concentration of each and combined three kinds of organic acids. The E. coli MG 1655 shows tolerance to acetic acid, lactic acid and formic acid at these concentrations ($1.0g/{\ell}$ acetic acid, $1.2g/{\ell}$ lactic acid and $0.8g/{\ell}$ formic acid, respectively), but displays some growth retardation over $1.5g/{\ell}$ acetic acid, lactic acid $2.0g/{\ell}$, and formic acid $1.2g/{\ell}$, respectively. In addition, formic acid was shown to be a critical factor affecting growth of the E. coli MG 1655 in the presence of three kinds of organic acids. These results indicate that the inhibitors should be removed at least $1.0g/{\ell}$ of acetic acid, $1.2g/{\ell}$ of lactic acid, $0.8g/{\ell}$ of formic acid for normal cell growth required for high yield fermentation. In addition, there is a need to construct recombinant strains that may be resistant to the same or higher organic acids concentration (> $1.2g/{\ell}$) in the growth.

This research investigated the application of semi-dried red pepper in Kimchi manufactured using semi-dried red pepper with seed ratios of 20, 40, 60 or 80%. Among the treatments, there were no significant changes in pH, acidity and lactic acid bacterial cell counts during the fermentation period. Kimchi made with a higher pericarp ratio had higher levels of vitamin C, ASTA value and capsainoids during fermentation. The organic acid level showed no significant difference with the various semi-dried red pepper seed ratios, and during fermentation the malic and succinic acid levels decreased while the acetic and lactic acid levels increased. In a sensory evaluation, the overall acceptance was highest for the control group, but the acceptance of Kimchi prepared with semi-dried red pepper at a seed ratio lower than 20% was not significantly different.

The possibility of wine making from soft and dried persimmon and the effects of treatment for persimmon on the quality of wine have been investigated. Soft persimmon was pretreated by two method of heat and hydrochloric acid treatment. Fermentation mash was composed of 12% persimmon and 15% of sucrose and was fermented at 17$^{\circ}C$ for 36 days. The fermentation using persimmons which were untreated and treated by acid was not successful because of contamination caused by lactic acid and acetic acid bacteria. Acidity of the fermented broth produced from boiled dried acid treated and untreated persimmon was 4,4, 5.0, 5,8 and 13.5ml(0.1N NaOH/10ml broth) respectively. Ethanol concentration of the fermented broth produced from boiled dried acid treated and untreated persimmon was 11.2, 10.0, 9.4 and 6.1% v/v respectively. The wine fermented for 28day's fermentation using boiled persimmon as substate had the best quality and stability. After 36day's fermentation using boild persimon following composition was obtained: 4.65% of total sugar 3.65% of reducing sugar 0.03mg/ml of protin 0.17$\mu$/ml of amino acid and 13.02 $\mu$g/ml of pectin. The pH and yeast cell of the boiled persimmon broth were 3.4 and 5.75 logCFU/ml. Fermented wine using dried persimmon had aslo good quality but the fermentation rate was slow.

The selective removal and recovery of fermentation inhibitors during purification of sugars from biomass hydrolysates can increase the economic efficiency of the entire process to produce bioalcohol from lignocellulosic biomass. This study investigated the effect of furans in phenols-free biomass hydrolysate on acetic acid extraction in an emulsion liquid membrane system. Under specific operating conditions, more than 99% of acetic acid could be extracted within 5 minutes, and the degrees of extraction of furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural were about 10% and 4%, respectively. The extraction rate of acetic acid was also lower at a higher initial concentration of furfural in the feed phase, which was greater for furfural than 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. Thus, if furfural is first removed from the hydrolysate prior to acetic acid extraction, emulsion liquid membrane would be a more economically efficient way of removing acetic acid.
