This study was conducted to determine the acetic-acid fermentation properties of apple juice (initial alcohol content, apple juice concentration, acetic-acid content, and inoculum size) in flask scale. At the acetic-acid fermentation of apple juice with 3, 5, 7, and 9% initial alcohol content, the maximum acidity after 10-day fermentation was 5.88% when the initial alcohol content was 5%. The acetic-acid fermentation did not proceed normally when the initial alcohol content was 9%. When the initial Brix was $1^{\circ}$, the acidity gradually increased, and the acidity after 12-day acetic-acid fermentation was 4.48%. Above 4% acidity was attained faster when the apple juice concentration was 5 and 10 $^{\circ}Brix$ than when it was 1 and 14 $^{\circ}Brix$. When the initial acidity was 1% or above (0.3, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0%), the acetic-acid fermentation proceeded normally. The acetic-acid fermentation also proceeded normally when the inoculum sizes were 10 and 15%, and the acidity after eight-day acetic-acid fermentation was 5.60 and 6.05%, respectively. Therefore, the following were considered the optimal acetic-acid fermentation conditions for apple cider vinegar: 5% initial alcohol content, 5 $^{\circ}Brix$ or above apple juice concentration, 1.0% or above initial acidity, and 10% or above inoculum size. Apple cider vinegar with above 5% acidity can be produced within 48 h under the following acetic-acid fermentation conditions: 7% initial alcohol content, about 1% initial acidity, and 10% inoculum volume at $30^{\circ}C$, 30 rpm, and 1.0 vvm, using 14 $^{\circ}Brix$ apple juice in a mini-jar fermentor as a pre-step for industrial-scale adaptation.

Flavor profiles on regular and low-calorie French type salad dressings were carried out in the two different temperatures(5$^{\circ}C$ and 25$^{\circ}C$). Data collected through consensus discussion. Panelists found less oil flavor and after-taste in the low-calorie dressing, which was to be expected, since water has been substituted for oil to reduce the calories. The two salad dressing had a moderate aroma and flavor of cider venegar, with a slight taste of distilled vinegar. It was balanced by a tomato flavor consisting of tomato paste, tomato sauce, and tomato juice. There were slight aroma and flavor of spices, including onion and galic, and a moderateamount of oil in the regular dressing. The overall sweet and sour flavor impression were in the low-moderate range, and were well balanced. The amplitude of the low calorie dressing was moderate, being slightly higher than that of the regular dressing. Temperature effects seemed to influence more one the low-calorie samples than regular samples.
