Kacdugi fermented in the subatomospheric pressure(350mmHg) and polyethylene film package to improve the quality and to investigate the effect of fermentative control at $25^{\circ}C$. Brix degree, acidity, vitamin C content and number of total microbe and Lactobacilli was determined and also, the edible period of kacdugi was checked up by sensory assessment. The increasing rate of brix degree during kacdugi fermentation was high in the subatomospheric pressure, but decreased at the last period of fermentation as same tendency to the control, and it was preferably increased at the last period of fermentation in the polyethylene film package. However, the acidity was higher in the control than sbuatomospheric pressure but it was low in the polyethylene film package. Vitamin C content was high in the control at beginning and middle period of fermentation but high in sbuatomospheric pressure, and was low in the polyethylene film package at the last period of fermentation. The number of Lactobacilli was more in the subatomospheric pressure and polyethylene film package than the control, but it was suddenly incressed for the total microbe in the polyethylene film package at last period of fermentation. The edible periods of kacdugi by the sensory assessment of sour flavor, hardness and complex flavor was second days in the control. third days in the polyethylene film package, and fifth days in the subatomospheric pressure after soaking.

Effect of the pretreatment with acetic acid(0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%) on the fermentation of Chinese cabbage Kimchi, and differences in the degree of maturity between Chinese cabbage blades and midribs were observed. To estimate the degree of maturity, correlation analysis was used with several variables such as pH, titratable acidity, volatile acidity, ascorbic acid content, resazurin test value and pH/acidity ratio. Based on the pH and titratable acidity, the degree of maturity of Chinese cabbage midribs fermented at 10$^{\circ}C$ until the optimum stage of fermentation increased more rapidly than those of the blades. The stage of maturity of Kimchi pretreated with 0.01% acetic acid were slightly prolonged, compared to those pretreated with acetic acid at the higher levels. The pH of Chinese cabbage midribs and blades pretreated with acetic acid was lower than those of control between 2nd and l0th day of fermentation. The volatile acidity of Chinese cabbage midribs and blades increased proportionally with the concentration of acetic acid. The ascorbic acid contents of Chinese cabbage midribs showed higher than those of Chinese cabbage blades. During the fermentation, the higher concentration of acetic acid was used, the less ascorbic acid content was remained. The pH/acidity ratio, volatile acidity, ascorbic acid content and resazurin test value of Chinese cabbage midribs and blades during Kimchi fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$ showed good correlations with the pH and titratable acidity.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes of major components and bioactivities of tea produce. The tea produce were made by various methods, with different degree of fermentation during manufacturing process. Except green tea, degrees of fermentation in Wizo Tea, Ilsoae Tea, and Hwang Tea were $5{\sim}10%,\;50{\sim}60%$ and $70{\sim}80%$ respectively. The result are as follows : The general component(moisture, crude ash, crude lipid, and crude protein) and the content of total polyphenol in tea products were not shown significant difference during the fermentation process. The content of caffeine in tea extracts decreased sharply as degree of fermentation of tea. In comparison of hunter values in tea extract, lightness was decreased as fermentation redness (a) was all (-), and yellowness(b) was increased sharpy with degree of fermentation. Radical scavenging activity using DPPH of tow kinds of tea was potent and decreased generally with degree of feimentation. Inhibitory effects of tea extracts against angiotensin I converting enzyme were also potent.

In order to find out the inhibitors of acetic acid fermentation in Korean ginseng (Panax Sin son C. A. Meyer), total aglycone, panaxadiol, panaxadiol, oleanolic acid and ${\beta}$ -sitosterol were added to the basal medium, respectively, and a surface culture was carried out at 30$^{\circ}C$. The results were as follows: 1 . Saponins lost their activity to inhibit the acetic acid fermentation by hydrolysis. 2 Panaxadiol inhibited slightly, and the degree of inhibition was about 1/300 of that of free saponins. 3. Panaxadiol and oleanolic acid inhibited silighly similar to total aglycone. 4. Acetic acid fermentation was stimulated at the early stage when ${\beta}$-sitosterol was added to the media below the level of 0.000815%. But the fermentation was inhibited when media contained it more than that media 5. An over-oxidation of acetic acid was observed when the media contained total aglycone. panaxadiol, panaxatriol, oleanolic acid and ${\beta}$-sitosterol, respectively, while the media which contained sucrose, ginseng extracts ginseng saponins was shown not to be over-oxidized.

The present study was directed to investigate the accelerative effects of fermentation of salted anchovy on sea tangle homogenates. With the addition of $8\%$ (w/w) sea tangle homogenates(T), there was an increase of amino-N content in both the muscle and juice of salted anchovy during all fermentation periods. It was only in VBN value that there was exhibited the same characteristics as the control batch. Viable cell count in muscle was increased rapidly after 60 days of fermentation, but in juice the content was maximal after 60 days of fermentation. When $8\%$ (w/w) sea tangle homogenates was added, the pH value in muscle and juice were maintained same degree of control until 80 days of fermentation, but showed increase in pH value of muscle and juice more rapidly than the control system after 80 days of fermentation. Then a large percentage of muscle turned to juice after 100 days of fermentation. The degree of fermentation In salted anchovy, when sea tangle homogenates were added, accelerated more than the control batch. Concerning the factors related to the accelerative effects on fermentation of salted anchovy, there was a continuous increase in amino-N content, and it was a sudden change of viable cell count and pH value at a certain point in the fermentation periods.

Quality characteristics of kochujang prepared with strawberry puree (10, 20, and 30% on a total weight basis) were investigated at 30 and 300 days of fermentation. The highest $L^*$-value was found in 30% strawberry kochujang at 300 days of fermentation. In contrast, the highest degree of redness ($a^*$) was observed in 30% strawberry kochujang at the early stage of fermentation. During the fermentation, values of $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ increased except $a^*$-value of 30% strawberry kochujang, indicating proper substitution of strawberry puree could preserve the desired color of kochujang. After 300 days of fermentation, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness increased while adhesiveness decreased significantly (p<0.05). Taste score and Pearson coefficient between sensory and strawberry concentration revealed that 10% strawberry kochujang was more acceptable than the others, due to color and the formation of flavor compounds during the fermentation and these compounds enhanced the flavor of kochujang.

Mixed fermentation of cow milk was performed by sequential co-cultures with Bacillus subtilis and Lactococcus lactis. After a first fermentation step with B. subtilis for 6 h, the number of viable cells increased to $2.5{\times}10^8$ CFU/mL. The second fermentation step with L. lactis resulted in increased viable cells $1.09{\times}10^{10}$ CFU/mL for 3 days and increased acidity. However, the number of viable B. subtilis cells was decreased greatly to $5{\times}10^1$ CFU/mL following fermentation with L. lactis. Milk proteins were markedly hydrolyzed by the first fermentation after 2 h, and the second fermentation induced curd formation in milk. However, after 4 h, the first fermentation resulted in higher whey separation and 80 mg% tyrosine content. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production was dependent upon the degree of protein hydrolysis by first fermentation. Second fermentation resulted in 0.14% GABA. The milk fermented by B. subtilis indicated the rough surface of yogurt depended upon the degree of protein hydrolysis. In conclusion, set-type yogurt was efficiently produced by co-culturing of milk, and fortifying with peptides, GABA, and probiotics.

Aspergillus luchuensis 34-1 was inoculated into wheat pellets with different conditions of raw materials to produce nuruk. The degree of substrate reactivity improvement of steam treated raw materials compared with that of non-heat treated was analyzed. The water content of the pellet was adjusted to 25% and 35%, and steam treatment for 10 minutes improved the substrate reactivity at 2.1-fold and 3.1-fold, and sterilization was also possible. The characteristics of improvement pellet nuruk were investigated according to the degree of crushing and water content of raw materials according to the temperatures and humidities ($23^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$ and RH 60%, RH 80%). The pH of the pellet nuruk was higher depending on the temperature, humidity and moisture content of the koji were lower, and the pH of the flour-pellet nuruk was lower than that of 2 mm milling wheat-pellet nuruk according to milling degree. It can be seen that the milling degree affects the growth of mold. The acidity and amino acid were generally higher as fermentation time increased. Also, the higher the incubation temperature, humidity and moisture content, the higher the value. Glucoamylase activity was significantly the highest in moisture content 35% D2b nuruk, cultured at $30^{\circ}C$ and 80% RH for 38 hours. This is higher than the previous reports on glucoamylase of rice-koji or commercial nuruk using fungi isolated from traditional nuruk. From these study, it is expected that making of improvement pellet nuruk would save the fermentation time considerably compared with traditional nuruks.

Yakju, a Korean traditional alcoholic beverage, is made from glutinous-rice flour or rice starch with nuruk. In this study, we investigated that fermentation characteristics in yakju was made with glutinous rice and pretreatment. The yeast and nuruk were used Y90-9 and SP1800 (a kind of improved nuruk), respectively. pH and brix degree of yakju, brewed with glutinous rice flour by heating, were higher than the others during fermentation process. Total acid contents were 0.2~0.3 and the highest alcohol degree (15.75%(v/v)) was fermented glutinous rice flour by heating. Reducing sugar contents were 3.5-3.9 mg/mL. Yakju, which brewed with glutinous rice flour, of amino acid degree, UV absorbance and color degree was higher than yakju which brewed with glutinous rice starch. Succinic acid was the highest organic acid among 6 organic acids and free sugar contents described as glucose > maltose > fructose. Twenty one components were identified including 3 alcohols, 17 esters and one aldehyde. Of these, ethyl palmitate, which was described as mild flavor, was the highest %area except ethyl alcohol. Overall, the fermentation performed using glutinous rice flour by heating and improved-nuruk showed the best results for yakju production.
