This study investigated the characteristics of baking bread and cookies supplemented with taurine and the effect of taurine addition on BAC(blood alcohol concentrations) and UAC(urine alcohol concentrations). Healthy male college students were divided into two groups, the control and the taurine group. Bread was baked with the addition of 0, 2, 4 and 6% taurine and baked with the addition 0, 3 and 6% taurine. The bread containing 2% taurine showed the fastest fermentation among the 4 groups. Fermentation and oven-spring of breads baked with a taurine concentration greater than 4% of taurine disturbed. In some areas of the sensory test, the taurine supplemented bread had higher scores than the control bread. We served 6 g of taurine supplemented cookies with 1,000 $m{\ell}$ of beer to 8 students in the taurine group. After 2 hours of drinking beer, the BAC and UAC of the taurine group were found to be lower than the control group. But no difference was found in the alcohol excretion of their urine. From this study we concluded that the taurine has an effect on the detoxication of alcohol, which reduces the BAC.

An investigation was carried out to evaluate the potential role of Lactobacillus Plantarum KCC-10 and KCC-19 on the quality and fermentation characterization of Italian ryegrass (IRG) silages. The physiochemical properties of IRG silage such as crude protein content, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, total digestible nutrient and in vitro dry matter digestibility were not affected by KCC-10 and KCC-19. The pH of IRG silage in KCC-10 and KCC-19 treatments decreased compared to the control (p<0.05), while the lactic acid content in KCC-10 and KCC-19 treatments increased compared to the control (p<0.05). In addition, the number of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in the KCC-10 treatment increased compared to the control (p<0.05). The number of lactic acid bacteria in KCC-19 increased, but there was no significant difference in all treatments. Therefore, we recommend L. plantarum KCC-10 and KCC-19 as potential additive candidates in IRG silage with lots of advantages.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of ginseng on the preservability and quality of Chinese cabbage Kimchi. The effect of ginseng on the growth of Lactobacilli, pH, titratable acidity, amount of juice, sensory quality and fracitonation of cell wall ploysaccharides, and enzyme activities related to softening were examined during fermentation. Ginseng promoted the growth of L. brevis and it didn't influence L. plantarum and L. fermentum. But Leuc. mesenteroides and P. cerevisiae was inhibited a little by adding of ginseng. The quality of ginseng added Kimchi evaluated by nalysis of the pH, acidity, sensory quality, the amount of juice, and overall eating quality during fermentation was better than those of control Kimchi, and 2% ginseng added Kimchi was the best ont the preservability and quality. The activity of β -galactosidase in ginseng added Kimchi was higher than that of control Kimchi. But the activity of polygalacturonase in ginseng added Kimchi was the same as that of control Kimchi. Ginseng added Kimchi showed more desirable softness of tissue. This was the same result as the analysis of pectic substance and hemicellulosic polysaccharides composed of cell wall polysaccharides. The value of L(lightness) of ginseng added Kimchi was highly maintained during the edible period and the yellow color from the ginseng was moved to Kimchi tissue in the ginseng added Kimchi.

This study evaluates the effects of cultured wild ginseng root (0.05%, 0.1% v/w) and xylitol in kimchi. The fermented characteristics of kimchi were investigated during 28 days of fermentation at $4^{\circ}C$. The pH value in the sample with the cultured wild ginseng root was higher than that of control group. The total acidity in the sugar groups (SG groups) was higher than that of xylitol groups (XG groups). Comparing total bacterial count, XG groups were lower than SG groups, regardless of the additional ratio of the cultured wild ginseng root. Reducing sugar of XG groups decreased more slowly than SG groups for seven days; glucose and fructose of XG groups were lower than the control group. DPPH radical scavenging activity was higher in groups with cultured wild ginseng root than in control. In the result of sensory evaluation, XG groups were more preferred than other groups. In conclusion, our results indicate that cultured wild-ginseng root and xylitol have a positive effect on the quality of kimchi, such as antimicrobial and antioxidant functions.

This research is about the quality characteristics of white bread mixed with varying ratios of Seomcho powder, such as 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7% (Spinacia oleracea L.). The pH level of dough decreased as more Seomcho powder (Spinacia oleracea L.) was added, and 7% addition recorded the lowest pH. The fermentation power of dough expansion decreased as the additional ratio increased in both the first and second proofing, and it was negatively correlated to the fermentation time factor. The moisture content of bread decreased as the addition ratio increased. The bread volume became smaller as the addition ratio increased, but it correlated negatively with its specific volume. The color of the crumb, the lightness and redness decreased in comparison to the control, but the yellowness increased. The total amino acid contents increased as the addition ratio increased, and glutamic acid was positively correlated to the additional ratio. The total free amino acids increased as the additional ratio increased, but cysteine levels were high at 5% and 7% additional ratio. The textural characteristics of the bread, springiness and cohesiveness were lower than the control, but gumminess, brittleness, and hardness were higher than the control. The adhesiveness was realized at 7% additional ratio.

We investigated the physical characteristics and changes in the functional components of red pepper paste, or gochujang, during fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$ for 90 days with different amounts of sweet persimmon powder. The viscosity of the paste decreased a little with increasing fermentation time. There was no significant difference (p<0.05) in all the treatments during fermentation. The L value, a value, and b value showed a tendency to gradually decrease with increasing fermentation time. And the samples with sweet persimmon powder showed a lower values compared to the control during fermentation. The phenolic compound content of the paste with sweet persimmon powder ranged from 13.72 mg% to 16.13 mg% at an early stage of fermentation, showing a significantly higher value (p<0.05) when increasing the amount of the powder. The content was in the range of 13.72~16.09 mg% on the 90th day in the final stage of fermentation, showing no significant difference (p<0.05) compared to those content at an initial stage of fermentation. The carotenoid content showed significantly higher values (p<0.05) when increasing the amount of sweet persimmon powder. In conclusion, sweet persimmon powder in the red pepper paste would gives a more functional effect which could be from bioactive components, such as phenolic compounds and carotenoids. But, it did not positively affect the color of the red pepper paste.

The physicochemical and microbiological studies were conducted to examine the effect of Prunus mume extract on the Dongchimi fermentation. Dongchimi with the addition of various levels (0, 0.05, 01, 0.2 or 0.3%) of Prunus mume extract was fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. The pH of the product decreased in the course of fermentation and it was between 3.8~4.2 at 6~8 days fermentation. Total acidity was decreased by the addition of Prunus mume extract. A more rapid decrease in pH and an increase in total acidity were observed in the control Dongchimi than in that with added Prunus mume extract. The content of vitamin C increased for up to 10 days of fermentation and then gradually decreased. Reducing sugar content increased for up to 10 days, and the highest of sugar content was shown in the Dongchimi with 0.3% of added Prunus mume extract. As Prunus mume extract levels increased, the total viable cell number and the Lactobacillus cell number decreased. Dongchitni in which Prunus mume extract was added gained it,j optimum taste after 10 days of fermentation. The results of this study indicate that Prunus mume extract causes a delay in the fermentation of Dongchimi by slowing down pH drop and inhibiting the Lactobacillus cell growth.

The changes of pH, titrable acidity, nitrite and dimethylamine(DAM) content in the various different kinds of the rice wine staters during the fermentation were studied, and the changes of nitrosodimethymaine(NDMA) contents were also determined by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography. After 24hrs, fermentation rice wine starter, pH was generally decreased to below 5 and after full fermentation the acidities were from 0.51 to 0.89 as succinic acid. After 12hrs, fermentation nitrate contents were rapidly decreased. The large amount of nitrite was formed in the beginning of the fermentation. But by the increase in the acidity due to the further fermentation nitrite contents were gradually disappeared. Generally the DMA contents of each rice wine starter were kept unchanged. On completion of fermentation, NDMA contents of starter added with nitrite and DMA were 472.1 ppb. The starter added with DMA was 329.0 ppb, whereas the other added with nitrite was 229.0 ppb, and control without addition of nitrite and DMA was 24.4 ppb. But the rice wine sold in market was not detected any NDMA at all.

Unlike the traditional preparation method for Chungkukjang, we prepared Dua-Chungkukjang with soybean fermented at $40^{\circ}C$ after the soaking, germination and steaming process, and we studied the physico-chemical characteristics of Dua-Chungkukjang. Reducing sugar content in both traditional Chungkukjang and Dua-Chungkukjang increased sharply after 10 hr of fermentation, but it decreased slightly after that. Total nitrogen content in both traditional Chungkukjang and Dua-Chungkukjang increased slowly as fermentation took place. Total nitrogen content reached 3,500 mg% and 3,700 mg%, and soluble nitrogen compound reached 750 mg% and 1,800 mg% after 40 hr of fermentation, respectively. $\beta$-Glucosidase activity increased continuously as fermentation took place, and it reached 193, 223, 235 and 248 units in Dua-Chungkukjang while it reached 125, 178, 205 and 214 units in traditional Chungkukjang after 10 hr, 20 hr, 30 hr and 40 hr of fermentation. This means that $\beta$-Glucosidase activity in Dua-Chungkukjang was $1.2{\sim}1.5$ times higher than that in the control treatment, traditional Chungkukjang. Total isoflavone content was $101.44{\mu}g$/g and $365.92{\mu}g$/g for 10 hr of fermentation, and $225.98{\mu}g$/g and $441.37{\mu}g$/g for 40 hr in traditional Chungkukjang and Dua-Chungkukjang, respectively. Isoflavone content of Dua-Chungkukjang was 2-3.5 times higher than that of traditional Chungkukjang. Anthocyanin content also increased continuously as fermentation took place, and it reached 5.0 mg/g and 6.9 mg/g in traditional Chungkukjang and Dua-Chungkukjang after 40 hr of fermentation, respectively.

This study examined the physicochemical quality characteristics of the oriental melon Makgeolli variant by addition of sucralose during its non-steamed fermentation process. The results showed a partial increase in initial sugar content in Makgeolli depending on the level of sucralose addition; and this slight increase in sugar content was exhibited in all intervals into which the sucralose was added during fermentation. The pH of Makgeolli did not exhibit significant changes according to the level of added sucralose until the fourth day of the fermentation process; and the total acidity of Makgeolli did not significantly change in accordance with the varied levels of added sucralose. Reducing sugar rapidly decreased in all intervals of the experiment during the first day of fermentation, and it was then increased slightly staring from the second day of the fermentation. Alcohol content in all experimental intervals was proportionally increased in accordance with the amount of added sucralose during the alcoholic fermentation process. The alcohol content was reached to the final alcohol contents of control (A) 11.27%, 0.001% (w/w) (B) 11.43%, 0.002% (w/w) (C) 11.80%, and 0.003% (w/w) (D) 12.23%. The levels of acetaldehyde, 1-propanol, isobutanol, and isoamyl alcohol in Makgeolli were all proportional to the level of the amount of sucralose added in the fermentation process. The organoleptic characteristics of Makgeolli was accorded with the level of the amount of sucralose. In the sensory evaluation, the experimental interval of 0.003% (w/w) (D) showed the highest scores of 3.30, 2.67, 3.17, and 3.20 in color, odor, taste and overall, respectively.
