  • This study was carried out to develop a new traditional alcoholic beverage by using lily scale in order to utilize lily scale as a new matter for nutritious foods. The condition of alcohol fermentation was investigated by the addition of 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.5 and 15.0% dried lily scale and 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% raw lily scale into mash, respectively. The maximum amount of ethanol was produced when 15% dried lily scale and 20% raw lily scale were added to cooked rice at $25^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. In overall acceptability of sensory evaluation, the LSD-5 alcoholic beverage (added 5% dried lily scale into mash) and LSR-20 alcoholic beverage (added 20% raw lily scale into mash) showed the best acceptability. Physiological functionalities of LSD-5 and LSR-20 alcoholic beverage were investigated. Electron donating ability by DPPH solution ($16.5{\sim}23.2%$), SOD-like activity ($20.4{\sim}24.7%$), ACE inhibitory activity ($24.7%{\sim}78.2%$) and tyrosinase inhibitory activity ($57.4{\sim}62.6%$) of LSD-5 and LSR-20 alcoholic beverage were better than the control (non-added liquor). Moreover, acceptability and physiological functionalities of LSD-5 alcoholic beverage are better than LSR-20.

  • For fuel alcohol production, enzymatic liquefaction and saccharification of tapioca starch by ${\alpha}$-amylase and glucoamylase were studied. The thermophilic ${\alpha}$-amylase Termamyl produced from Bacillus licheniformis gave a better liquefaction than the relalively low temperature enzyme BAN from B. subtilis. Oplimal temperature and pH with Termamyl were $90∼95^{\circ}C$ and 5.8, respectively. Minimal amount of Termamyl 240uc for a satisfactory liquefaction for a two-hour reaction was about 0.0125% (v/w) with respect to the mass of tapioca used. For saccharification experiments two enzymes, Novo AMG and Do-I1 enzymes were compared. The enzymatic activity of each enzyme was a little different depending on the substrate used and the latter was found to have a significant amount of ${\alpha}$-amylase activity. With Novo AMG optimal temperature was about $58^{\circ}C$ The pH optimum was 4.3 with maltose, however, with tapioca, no difference was observed between pH 4.3 and 5.7 which is a natural, unadjusted pH of liquefied tapioca. For 85% of completion of saccharification, it was necessary to use 0.0625% (v/w) of Novo AMG 400L for tapioca and to run the reaction for more than 10 hr, Packed volume of solid particles in tapioca slurry remained at around 30% during liquefaction and saccharification. This indicates that the removal of the solid particle before fermentation is not economically feasible at all, even though the solid particles make it very difficult to operate the bioreactor in a continuous mode with cell-recycle.

  • This study was conducted to determine the minimum concentration of citrus juice for basal medium and also to search for an additional carbon source for the best production of the gel. A concentrate of citrus fruit juice of 65$^{\circ}$Brix, it was diluted to be used as a basal medium. Static cultivation of Gluconacetobacter hansenii TL-2C for 14 days at 3$0^{\circ}C$ produced the best gel with 7.5$\pm$0.4 mm thickness in the 6-fold diluted citrus Juice concentrate without any additional nutrient. However, the same thickness could be obtained with 60 to 100-fold diluted juice concentrate when refined white sugar was added at appropriate concentrations. Glucose was the most effective sugar for the both of gel and acid production, and optimal concentration of the sugar was 10$^{\circ}$Brix. Ethyl alcohol at 1.0% had synergistic effects in combination with refined sugar and increased the gel thickness up to 15.1 mm which was 1.85 times thicker than that of refined sugar alone. However, acetic acid was not effective. Gel productivity with supplement of ethanol was 172.6$\pm$8.4 g wet/L, and it was approximately equal to 4.7 g of dry gel/L.

  • Nuruk plays a significant role in the flavor and quality of Takju and Yakju, which are produced through saccharification and alcohol fermentation by various microorganisms. In this study, we identified microbial strains isolated from a plate count and PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis targeting the 16S and 28S rRNA genes, in order to characterize bacterial and fungal diversity in Sansung Nuruk. The numbers of bacteria and fungi in Nuruk were $1.5{\times}10^9$ CFU/g and $2.2{\tims}10^8$ CFU/g, respectively. The 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the predominant bacteria in the isolates and PCR-DGGE profile of Nuruk were Kocuria spp., Pantoea spp., Lactobacillus spp., Pediococcus spp., Weissella spp., Staphylococcus spp., endophytic bacterium, uncultured Gamma-proteobacteria, uncultured Cyanobacteria, and Actinobacteria. Dominant bacteria from the PCR-DGGE profile were Pediococcous pentosaceus and uncultured Cyanobacteria. The 28S rRNA gene sequence indicated the predominant fungi in the isolates and PCR-DGGE profile to be Trichomonascus spp. Pichia spp., Torulaspora spp., Wickerhamomyces spp., Sacharomycopsis spp., Lichtheimia spp., Mucor spp., Rhizopus spp. Aspergillus spp., and Cladosporium spp. Dominant fungi from the PCR-DGGE profile were Pichia kudriavzevii and Aspergillus oryzae. The PCR-DGGE technique was used for the first time in this study to assess a microbial community in Nuruk and proved to be an effective protocol for profiling microbial diversity.

  • Jeungpyun has a unique sponge-like texture and sour taste imparted by the lactic acid and alcohol that are produced by the addition of Takju(turbid rice wine) as a starter. Its consumption, however. has been decreased due to the long preparation time, the difficulties in quality control and the offensive odor derived from the Takju. The present study was carried out in order to shorten the preparation time and to improve the quality of Jeungpyun. To achieve the objectives an appropriate commercial lactic acid starter was selected and a cofermentation system with yeast was developed. A starter containing Lactococcus lactis, Lactococcus cremoris and Lactococcus diacetylactis was selected based on the acid production rate and the quality of the produced sour taste. It took 3 hr for the lactic acid fermentation of rice slurry. The optimum addition levels of the lactic acid starter and yeast were 0.45% and 0.60%, respectively. The lactic acid fermented rice slurry was mixed with the rice slurry separately fermented for 2 hr by yeast, and cofermented for another 1 hr before steaming. Jeungpyun Prepared by the developed method was superior in quality to that Prepared by conventional method using Takju. The developed method reduced the preparation time more than 50% compared with the conventional method.

  • Two-step pretreatment process was investigated to efficiently hydrolyzed rape stems for obtaining fermentable sugars. The process was consisted of two consecutive steps as $200^{\circ}C$ and 15 MPa and $374^{\circ}C$ and 24 MPa with the flow rate of 5 mL/min. Under this condition, 5.5 (g/L) of glucose and 25.6 (g/L) of xylose were obtained from rape stems, showing 18% of glucose yield based on 25% cellulose in the rape stems. It was also found that this process could generate less amounts of toxic residues, such as HMF (Hydroxy- Methyl-Furfural) and other fulfural components during hydrolysis process. It could reaction maintain relatively high ethanol production yield as 90% of theoretical conversion yield from glucose. Therefore, this pretreatment process could be applied to hydrolyze other cellulosic and marine resources such as woods, stem and algae for bioethanol production.

  • Quality characteristics of mul-kimchi prepared using eastern deep seawater added with $0.1\%$ chitosan-ascorbate (CA) were investigated during fermentation for 12 days at $10^{\circ}C$, in an effort to effectively utilize the eastern deep seawater in Korea. Four water sources were considered for preparation of mul-kimchi; (1)distilled water added with $1\%$ mineral salt (DW), (2) eastern deep seawater (containing $6\%$ salt) diluted to $1\%$ salt concentration with distilled water (ED), (3) DW+CA (DW-CA), and (4) ED+CA (ED-CA). Juice of mul-kimchi prepared with ED-CA as a water source showed higher PH and antioxidant activity, and lower acidity, total microbe numbers, turbidity and alcohol insoluble substance compared with those Prepared with other three water sources. The former also showed higher overall acceptability compared with the latter. This study demonstrated the possibility of use of eastern deep seawater added with chitosan-ascorbate as a water source for extension of shelf-life of mul-kimchi.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop measures for establishing and enforcing legal nutrition labeling for Takju based on results from consumer awareness surveys, statistical model development, and evaluation of nutrients. The statistical model developed with consumer survey results showed that consumers would like to know the nutrients they intake from drinking Takju, as their awareness about Takju was low. Specifically, consumers would like to see information regarding alcohol content, calories, carbohydrates, and saccharides on the label. Structural equations from the research model showed that consumers who had some knowledge of Takju also had positive thoughts of the nutrition fact labels for Takju. Evaluation of nutrients in Takju showed that the starch sources and other ingredients used in Takju fermentation did not influence nutrient facts, and nutrient concentrations also varied among the different Takju. In addition, this research suggests methods for consumers to make reasonable selections and to inform them of the nutrition fact labeling for Takju. Benners and pop-up were manufactured to promote voluntary participation of companies and to provide nutrition facts from Takju. Eventually, a measure was suggested to establish and enforce nutrition labeling, using results from consumer and nutrient surveys of Takju.

  • The goal of this study was to investigate the chemical and microbiological characteristics of kimchi products distributed in Japan (5 brands, J-products) and Korea (2 brands, K-products). When their average analyses were compared, J-products showed higher values in pH, total sugar and acetic acid contents, while K-products showed higher values in number of lactic acid bacteria, sugar alcohol and lactic acid contents including textural hardness or chewiness. In addition, the analysis showed great variation in composition levels regarding pH, total sugar and acetic acid contents of J-products, and this fact revealed that different manufacturing processes are being attempted in Japan. Interestingly, some J-products had high concentrations of acetic acid with little mannitol, as this result implies that some manufacturers in Japan produce kimchi by adding acetic acid or lactic acid to control the rate of lactic acid fermentation. The result of this study elucidates the Japanese consumer's taste preference as well as the manufacturing processes in Japanese companies.

  • Allium sativum, commonly known as garlic, is well known for its antibacterial, antioxidant, and hypotensive activities, as well as its antiaging bioactive properties. This study investigated the physicochemical properties and anti-allergic effects of garlic in order to develop a method to produce Makgeolli using garlic. Levels of total sugar, reducing sugar contents, total acid and amino acid contents of garlic Makgeolli were higher than those of the control (normal Makgeolli without garlic), and its alcohol content was 7.0%. Polyphenol contents, DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity and total thiosulfate contents of garlic Makgeolli were a bit higher than those of the control. The main organic acids of garlic Makgeolli were lactic, citric, malic, oxalic and succinic acids. Especially, lactic acid content was 16 fold higher than the control. According to MTT assay, garlic Makgeolli had no significant effect on the viability of human mast cells, and secretion of histamine was more effectively inhibited by garlic Makgeolli than by the control. Garlic Makgeolli was superior to the control in all results of sensory characteristics except in color. Therefore, the anti-oxidant activity and anti-allergic effect of garlic Makgeolli could improve the quality of Korean Makgeolli.
