To investigate changes of components in salt-fermented anchovy, Engraulis japonims sauce during fermentation, various chemical properties were examined at $1.5{\~}3$ months interval during 18 months fermentation. Moisture content and pH were decreased slightly, but the contents of VBN and crude protein, total and amino nitrogen, hydrolytic degree and absorbance at 453 nm were increased gradually during fermentation. On the other hand, ash content and salinity showed almost no change. Hk and uric acid were the most abundant in ATP related compounds, ranging from $80.1{\%}\;to\;92.7{\%}$ in salt-fermented anchovy sauce during the fermentation, After 18 months of fermentation the sauce was rich in free amino acids, such as glutamic acid, leucine, alanine, lysine, isoleucine, valine in that order.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of fermentation and quality of Cheongju prepared by mashing using rice Nuruk inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae. Mashes were prepared by fermentation for 30-50 days using different amounts of fermenting agent, brewing water, milling ratios and fermenting temperatures. Adding fermenting agent at 15% resulted in slow fermentation, but a final alcohol content of 17% (v/v), similar to other samples tested. Addition of higher amounts of Nuruk resulted in increased amounts of citric acid, tartaric acid and malic acid, but low levels of succinic acid. Incomplete fermentation occurred when the ratio of brewing water was low, but the alcohol content (17%) of all samples was similar. When the amount of brewing water was high, the organic acid was levels were high. The speed of saccharification and fermentation was low when fermentation was conducted at $10^{\circ}C$, but the final alcohol content was the highest at this temperature. However, the content of n-propanol, isobutanol, isoamyl alcohol and organic acid was low at low temperature. At this time, the content of citric acid and malic acid was low, but the content of succinic acid was high. A higher milling degree resulted in a lower content of alcohol, organic acid and higher alcohols, with 10% milling resulting in a significantly higher content than the other samples.

This study was aimed to determine the accumulation of free fatty acid by mesophilic lactic acid bac-teria (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis 1471, Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris 1000 and Lactobacillus casei 111) in cold-stored milk. According to the results, all cold-stored milks had higher acid degree val-ues than those of fresh milk. This phenomenon showed that a slight increase occurred in the accumulation of free fatty acids as a result of spontaneous lipolysis during cold storage. All lactic acid bacteria showed good performance in production of titratable acidity, which increased during fermentation of the milk (fresh and stored milks). Moreover, as the storage time was prolonged, more free fatty acid accumulation was obtained from the fermentation of the cold-stored milk by the investigated lactic acid bacteria. The control milk, which was without lactic acid bacteria, showed no change in the accumulation of free fatty acid during fermentation. From this result, it can be suggested that longer cold-storage time can induce higher free fatty acid accumulation in milk by lactic acid bacteria.

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-producing bacteria (GPB) on in vitro rumen fermentation and on the growth performance and meat quality of Hanwoo steers. Methods: The effects of GPB (Lactobacillus brevis YM 3-30)-produced and commercially available GABA were investigated using in vitro rumen fermentation. Using soybean meal as a substrate, either GPB-produced or commercially available GABA were added to the in vitro rumen fermentation bottles, as follows: control, no additive; T1, 2 g/L GPB; T2, 5 g/L GPB; T3, 2 g/L autoclaved GPB; T4, 5 g/L autoclaved GPB; T5, 2 g/L GABA; and T6, 5 g/L GABA. In addition, 27 Hanwoo steers (602.06±10.13 kg) were subjected to a 129-day feeding trial, during which they were fed daily with a commercially available total mixed ration that was supplemented with different amounts of GPB-produced GABA (control, no additive; T1, 2 g/L GPB; T2, 5 g/L GPB). The degree of marbling was assessed using the nine-point beef marbling standard while endotoxin was analyzed using a Chromo-Limulus amebocyte lysate test. Results: In regard to in vitro rumen fermentation, the addition of GPB-produced GABA failed to significantly affect pH or total gas production but did increase the ammonia nitrogen (NH₃-N) concentration (p<0.05) and reduce total biogenic amines (p<0.05). Animals fed the GPB-produced GABA diet exhibited significantly lower levels of blood endotoxins than control animals and yielded comparable average daily gain, feed conversion ratio, and beef marbling scores. Conclusion: The addition of GPB improved in vitro fermentation by reducing biogenic amine production and by increasing both antioxidant activity and NH₃-N production. Moreover, it also reduced the blood endotoxin levels of Hanwoo steers.

Background: The same plant, Camellia sinensis, is used to produce all types of tea, and the differences among the various types arise from the different processing steps that are used. Based on the degree of fermentation, tea can be classified as black, green, white, or oolong tea. Of these, black tea is the most or fully fermented tea. The oxidized polyphenolic compounds such as theaflavins (TF) and thearubigins (TR) formed during fermentation are responsible for the color, taste, flavor, and aroma of black tea. Results: Research indicates that an optimum ratio of TF and TR (1:10) is required to ensure a quality cup of tea. The concentrations of TF and TR as well as desirable quality characteristics increase as fermentation time increases, reaching optimum levels and then degrading if the fermentation time is prolonged. It is also necessary to control the environment for oxidation. There are no established environment conditions that must be maintained during the fermentation of the ruptured tea leaves. However, in most cases, the process is performed at a temperature of $24-29^{\circ}C$ for 2-4 h or 55-110 min for orthodox tea or crush, tear, and curl (CTC) black tea, respectively, under a high relative humidity of 95-98% with an adequate amount of oxygen. Conclusion: The polyphenolic compounds in black tea such as TF and TR as well as un-oxidized catechins are responsible for the health benefits of tea consumption. Tea is rich in natural antioxidant activities and is reported to have great potential for the management of various types of cancers, oral health problems, heart disease and stroke, and diabetes and to have other health benefits such as the ability to detoxify, improve urine and blood flow, stimulate, and improve the immune system.

The characteristics of enzymic sources and its effective uses concerned with brewing of Yack-Tack Joo which is traditional and popular liquors for all Korean have been studied. Results obtained are as follows; 1)Kock Ja (enrich of fungi and yeast produced in Korean brewery) is found to be weak in its liquifying(600U.) and saccharifying activity(1300U.), so that it is useful to conbine two factors effectively for better brewing. 2) The additional ratio of Kok Ja per materials is seems proper at line of 20 percent for better fermentation and the enzymic preparations inoculated of microorganisms in wheat bran is seems proper at 25 percent line. 3) Adding the enzymic preperation in which the strain Rhyzopus had been inoculated to the experimental mash at 5 percent per material, the rate of fermentation was revealed highest degree than those of else. 4) It is not proper to add a single Bun Kok in fermentation, as it produce much acid in mash during brewing. 5) However, the enzymic preparation composed of Asp usami and Rhyzopus sp. produced less acid in brewing. 6) The increasing of temparature in enzymic samples, temparatures of the mixtured Kuk(Kok Ja and enzymic preparation) are higher than those of single addition at the first stage in pre-fermentation, but there are no differences at the late stage of post-fermentation. 7) Amount of amino acids in the plot of enzymic prepation are found much more than those of single use at late stage of post-fermentation. In the plot of single use of Kock Ja, the amount was the most than else, the proteinase activity is strongest more than else. 8) In the brewing of Korean Tack-Yack-Joo, it is desirable less amount of acidity, more amount of amino acid, stronger liquifaction of starch and vigorous saccharification. Thren it was found that the application of two prepations(Kock Ja and Bun kok) is most effective to get moderate quality in Tack-Yack-Joo brewing.

This study was conducted to develop an measuring system and method for fermentation degree of liquid swine manure by visible ray. The constituent changes of liquid swine manure were examined. pH gradually increased with time, but EC gradually decreased. Malodor strength decreased gradually with aeration treatment with time. Control needed more time to decrease malodor strength than aeration treatment. In aeration treatment, there was no germination of seeds (radish, chinese cabbage) up to 6 weeks and germination rate at 15th week was over 50%. However, in control, there was no germination up to end of experiment. Circular chromatography method showed that there was change after 10th week in aeration treatment but there was no change up to end of experiment in control. As a result, the fermentation degree of liquid swine manure would have relations among pH, EC, germination rate, malodor concentration, and reaction of circular chromatography. The simple analytical instrument for liquid swine manure consisted of a tungsten halogen and deuterium lamp for light source, a sample holder, a quartz cell, spectrometer for spectrum analyzer, a malodour measuring device, a software, etc. Results showed that the simple analytical instrument that was developed can approximately predict the fermentation degree of liquid swine manure by visible ray. Generally, the experiment proved that the simple analytical instrument was reliable, feasible and practical for analyzing the fermentation degree of liquid swine manure.

Organic acids were produced from wastes streams in food industries by cell-recycle fermentation using Propionibacterium acidipropionici ATCC 4965. As a results of continuous fermentation, maximum productivity was 3.32g organic acid/L/hr at the dilution rate of 0.2/hr. Compared to batch fermentation, maximum productivity was improved by as much as 13 times and cell mass production was increased by as much as 22 times. The diluted organic acids in the fermenter were selectively separated by liquid-liquid extraction using 30%(w/w) trioctylamine(TOA) dissolved in methylisobutylketone(MIBK). The degree of extraction was reached above 90% for both acetic and propionic acid through repeated extraction of organic acids in fermentation broth.
