A trial was performed to study the effects of feeding a diet containing solid-state fermentation rapeseed meal (FRSM) replaced soybean meal (SBM) on growth performance and serum biochemistry parameters of ducks and then to determine the appropriate proportion of soybean meal replacement. The 75% rapeseed meal and 25% blood meal were mixed and inoculated with the Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus subtilis. Over the 21-day fermentation, isothiocyanates were reduced from 72.7 to 14.1 mmol/kg. A total of 1,280 fifteen-day-old Cherry Valley ducks were randomly allocated into 4 dietary treatments, 4 replicate groups of 80 ducks each for a 30-day feeding trial. In four treatment groups, fermentation rapeseed meal replaced soybean meal at 0, 33, 67 or 100%, respectively. Results showed that feed intake of ducks fed 100% FRSM was greater (p<0.05) than SBM and partial FRSM in both the finishing period (31-45 d) and entire feeding period (15-45 d). Daily gain increased gradually in the three treatment groups with augmenting FRSM over in the whole study period. In the growing period (15-30 d), compared with the SBM group, phosphorus and calcium content in serum from the FRSM group was improved (p<0.05). Total protein concentration was lower in ducks fed 100% FRSM than SBM and 33% FRSM (p<0.05). Concentrations of IgM were dramatically higher for animals fed 100% FRSM than in the SBM, 33% FRSM and 67% FRSM groups. In the finishing trail stage (31-45 d), only serum IgG content in 100% FRSM group was improved (p<0.05). Therefore, rapeseed meal fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus subtilis is a promising alternative protein source and fermented rapeseed meal can completely replace soybean meal in duck diet and potentially reduce the cost of duck production.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of initial ripening condition placed within a kimchi refrigerator and this result will be used as basic data for the development of fermentation system of Kimchi refrigerator. Hardness significantly decreased as the storage period longer. Lactic acid and Lactobacillus spp. showed a large amount until 8 weeks, but one without initial ripening contained much lower. The content of lactic acid bacteria increased from 4.50 logCFU/mL to 6.70 ~ 7.47 logCFU/mL and decreased to 5.08 ~ 6.10 logCFU/mL according to storage period. Consumer preferred $15^{\circ}C/52h$ samples rather than others in two weeks. $15^{\circ}C/36h$ and $6^{\circ}C/113h$ samples were significantly preferred during the whole storage period. These results indicate that the initial fermentation conditions affect the taste and fermentation degree of kimchi during the storage period.

The present study was aimed to estimate the effect of ensiling period and bacterial inoculants on chemical compositions and fermentation characteristics on rye silage harvested at delayed stage. Rye (Secale cereale L.) was harvested after 20 days of heading stage (29.4% dry matter, DM). The harvested rye forage was applied with different inoculants following: applications of distilled water (CON), Lactobacillus brevis (LBB), Leuconostoc holzapfelii (LCH), or mixture of LBB and LCH at 1:1 ratio (MIX). Each forage was ensiled into 20 L mini bucket silo (5 kg) for 50 (E50D) and 100 (E100D) days in triplicates. The E50D silages had higher in vitro digestibilities of DM (IVDMD, p<0.001) and neutral detergent fiber (IVNDFD, p=0.013), and lactate (p=0.009), and acetate (p=0.011) than those of E100D, but lower pH, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and yeast. By inoculant application, LCH had highest IVDMD and IVNDFD (p<0.05), while MIX had highest lactate and lowest pH (p<0.05). The CON and LCH in E50D had highest LAB and yeast (p<0.05), whereas LBB in E100D had lowest (p<0.05). Therefore, this study concluded that LCH application improved the nutrient digesbility (IVDMD and IVNDFD) of lignified rye silage, and longer ensiling period for 100 days enhanced the fermentation characteristics of silage compared to ensiling for 50 days.

The optional ingredient jasoja(Perillae semen) was adopted to improve Dongchimi in qualify during fermentation The final weight percentage of jasoja in Dongchimi was adjusted to 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, or 1.0% Per radish. Physicochemical characteristics were determined during fermentation for 45 days at 10$^{\circ}C$. As the fermentation of Dongchimi proceeded, the pH decreased with the increase of total acidity; however, the decreasing rate was slowed down by increasing the level of jasoja. The delayed pH drop of Dongchimi was limited only for the initial period of fermentation and the ultimate pH became almost comparable even for the 1% treatment. The total vitamin C content increased initially to a certain level depending on the level of jasoja, and then decreased later. Dongchimi with 0.5% jasoja contained the highest level of total vitamin C and reducing sugars. In case of 1% treatment, the typical pattern of an initial high content followed by a gradual decrease in reducing sugar was destroyed by a rapid fermentation at the later stage. Turbidity level, along with total solid contents of the liquid part of Dongchimi increased in all treatments as the fermentation proceeded although the extent was rather suppressed by jasoja. As a result of fermentation, the colorimetric lightness values decreased, with the intial increase followed by the decrease at a certain point in redness and yellowness and the increase in color difference values (ΔE). Overall, fermentation with 0.5% jasoja for 11 to 30 days appeared to improve the quality of Dongchimi.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the fermentation characteristics of Yakju using fresh sprouts from common buckwheat, a Daisan cultivar, and a tartary buckwheat Daikwan 3-3 cultivar to develop a functional Yakju, which is a traditional Korean liquor. As fermentation time increased, alcohol concentration and total sugar content (expressed as Brix degrees) increased, whereas reducing sugar content decreased. In particular, alcohol formation capability was maximized from the fourth to the seventh days of the second mashing stage during the fermentation procedure, which corresponded to the abrupt rise in mashing body temperature. The pH increased slightly when the titratable acidity was kept from increasing as fermentation proceeded. Quercetin and rutin were not present in the control group but their presence in Yakju with added buckwheat sprouts continuously increased with an increase in the fermentation period. Quercetin and rutin contents were higher in the Yakju with added Daikwan3-3 buckwheat sprouts than Yakju with added Daisan buckwheat sprouts. In conclusion, adding buckwheat sprouts improved Yakju quality during fermentation. Particularly, Yakju with added Daikwan3-3 buckwheat sprouts had superior fermentation characteristics and quality.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the sensory characteristics of Toha-jeot added cabbage kimchi by Koreans and Japanese. The sensory evaluation was conducted for the following 9 items such as color, savory taste, carbonated taste, sour taste, hot taste, salty taste, off flavor, texture and overall preference. Sensory evaluation of kimchi was tested by Koreans or Japanese whose ages vary from 30 to 50 years old and each group had 25~30 evaluators. Kimchi at different stages of fermentation day 0, 10 and 18th was evaluated. Saltiness of kimchi was 1.5~2.1% through the fermentation period and pH of kimchis was decreased from pH 5.4~5.6 to 4.3~4.4 during the fermentation. The sensory evaluation of Toha-jeot added cabbage kimchi by Koran and Japanese showed the differences in evaluation as the fermentation proceeded. The color, texture and overall preference of Toha-jeot added cabbage kimchi fermentation for 10th days was scored significantly high by Korean group while the score for the savory taste was increased as the fermentation proceeded. The hot taste preference of Toha-jeot added cabbage kimchi fermented 18th days scored significantly high and also increased as the fermentation proceeded by Japanese group. The overall preference of Toha-jeot added cabbage kimchi by Japanese group was higher than that of control cabbage kimchi tested at 10 and 18th days fermentation.

This study was intended to observe the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of anchovy added kimchi during fermentation at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks. Salting of Chinese cabbage for 10 hours at 10% brine solution was turned out to be appropriate organoleptically for kimchi preparation. Salt content of all kimchies prepared in this study was below 2%. The changes of pH and acidity during fermentation was slow in raw anchovy added kimchi compared to other kimchies. The content of vitamin C was not changed significantly through the fermentation period, whereas the content of reducing sugar was increased at the early stage of fermentation and subsequently decreased as fermentation proceeded. The number of lactic acid bacteria was the highest in raw anchovy added kimchi. The content of calcium and phosphorus were higher in anchovy powder added kimchi and raw anchovy added kimchi than control. In the early stage of fermentation, the major pigments of kimchi were the chlorophyll and carotenoid, but in the later stage of fermentation, the color of Chinese cabbage became greenish brown as chlorophyll was converted to pheophytin. In sensory evaluation test, raw anchovy added kimchi received high score at the early stage of fermentation and anchovy powder added kimchi at the late stage of fermentation, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate and make comparison between treatment which was reduced the reducing sugar content from Chinese cabbage using salting and desalting processes prior to Kimchi fermentation , and control for the effect of reducing sugar content on Kimchi fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$. In the early stage of Kimchi fermentation , the amount of reducing sugar (5.7mg/ml) in treatment was much smaller than that (15.1mg/ml) in control. Reducing sugar content of treatment decreased drastically during the first two days and then levelled off . Whereas, that of control dropped significantly up to the first four days of fermentation. pHs of treatment and control decreased significantly during the first two days and then showed gentle slopes. Acidities of treatment and control were increased continuously during the entire range of fermentation . The acidity of control reached to 0.75% in 3 days of fermentation, while that of treatment was shown after 6 days. Hardnesses of treatment and control using a puncture test were almost constant and the hardness value of treatment was higher than that of control during whole fermentation period. The total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria counts increased drastically during the first day of fermentation and the increase of total bacteria counts was mainly caused by that of lactic acid bacteria counts.

In order to obtain basic data for the development of Gat-Kimchi, a salted and fermented lear mustard, changes in mineral, pigment, texture, sensory score and microflora during fermentation at 5$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ were investigated. Changes in mineral, including iron, calcium and potassium were obviously shown and their contents were markedly decreased after 14 days of fermentation. Contents of total chlorophyll and carotenoid were slowly decreased after 6 and 10 days of fermentation, respectively and ratios of chlorophyll a/b were not changed and similar to those of other cruciferous vegetable Kimchi during fermentation. Shear force of Gat-Kimchi in rheometer during fermentation was increased. The sourness and hardness(p<0.05) of Gat-Kimchi after 24 days of fermentation were significant different in sensory evaluation with no significant difference in off-flavor, color and hotness. Compared with other Kimchi, taste of Gat-Kimchi was desirably kept for 54 days of fermentation. Total viable count and lactic acid bcateria(Genus Lactobacillus) observed to be Increased in the range of 18 to 24 days and yeasts to be gradually increased during overall period of fermentation.

The application of Dongchimi liquid to Naengmyon broth to improve its eating quality was scientifically explored by reviewing the quality of the product properties. Primarily, the optimum fermentation conditions for Dongchimi from which the liquid portion was extracted were pursued and the optimum mixing ratio sought on the basis of the product physicochemical properties. The liquid portions, periodically extracted from Dongchimi at intervals of two or five days, during fermentation at $10^{\circ}C$, were added to Naengmyon broth. The treatments were prepared at three levels namely, basic broth only ('A') and with ratios of Dongchimi liquid to basic broth of 3:7 (v/v, 'B') and 5:5 (vfv, 'C'). As a typical phenomenon of kimchi fermentation, a gradual decrease in the pH with increasing total acidity was observed as the fermentation of the Dongchimi progressed. At $10^{\circ}C$, the optimum ripening was obtained from day 8, and continued until day 15, when the pH was maintained at about 3.8 to 4.0. The total vitamin C and reducing sugar contents increased until the 13th-day of fermentation, but then decreased thereafter. The turbidity and solid content of the Dongchimi liquid increased with progression of the fermentation. With respect to the color values, the lightness (L) decreased, with increases in the redness (a), yellowness (b) and total color difference $({\Delta}E)$ during fermentation. Most of these observed phenomena for the Naengmyon broth substituted with $30\%$ (Treatment 'A') and $50\%$ (Treatment 'B') Dongchimi liquid, with different storage periods, confirmed the previous fermentation patterns of Dongchimi. A decrease in the pH with increasing total acidity, as well as gradual increases in the total vitamin C and reducing sugars (glucose and fructose) up to the 13th-day of fermentation were accompanied by subsequent declining patterns. The turbidity and solid content of the mixed broth also increased with increasing Dongchimi liquid fermentation period. With respect to the color of the mixed broth, the lightness was decreased, while the redness, yellowness and total color difference increased with increasing Dongchimi liquid fermentation period. It was also proven that the addition of slightly over-ripened Dongchimi liquid to the Naengmyon broth was more preferable.
