The historical background of fish fermentation in Asia and other regions of the world is reviewed. The classification of fermented fish products in different regions is attempted with respect to the technology involved. The fermented fish products are largely divided into three groups; (1) high-salt, (2) low-salt, and (3) non-salt fermented. High-salt fermented products contain over 20％ of salt and are represented by fish sauce, cured fish and fish paste. Low-salt fermented products contain 6-18％ salt and are subdivided into lactic fermented products with added carbohydrate and acid pickling associated with low temperature. Non-salt fermented products are represented by the solid state bonito fermentation and some alkaline fermentation of flat fishes. The local names of the products in different regions are compared and classified accordingly. The microbial and biochemical changes during fish fermentation are considered in relation to the quality of the products, and their wholesomeness is reviewed.

Lipid oxidation and browning during fermentation of domestic Meju and Doenjang were examined in order to elucidate the antioxidative effects of browning products and phenol compounds from Meju and Doenjang. Peroxide values of lipids from Meju were detectable and slightly increased until 3 weeks of fermentation, but started to be decreased after 3 weeks of fermentation and notdetectable after 6 weeks. Peroxides were not detected in Doenjang during the whole fermentation, but started to be decreased after 3 weeks of period of 22 weeks fermentation. Carbonyl value were increased during the whole period of Meju fermentation, but started to be decreased at the early stage of Doenjang fermentation. Hydrophilic fraction of browning products from Meju was much higher than lipophilic fraction and the former fraction was dramatically increased at the early stage of the fermentation. But the both fractions maintained high values during Doenjang fermentation. Hydrophilic browning products and phenol and phenol compound in Meju showed strong antioxidative against linoleic acid.

This study was aimed to develop a value-added fermented products from rice and apple pomace using Bifidobacterium fermentation. The Bifidobacterium fermentation system of the mixture of rice and apple pomace was developed, and the physicochemical properties of the products were investigated. After 4 different bifidobacteria were compared for their fermentation capability and sensory properties of the fermented product, Bifidobacterium FBD-13 and FBD-22 were selected as appropriate strains for the fermentation of saccharified rice solution(SRS). The optimum inoculation level was 2% and the optimum fermentation time was 42 hrs. When wet apple pomace(WAP) was added to SRS, it contributed to the improvement of sensory properties of the fermented products and the optimum mixing ratio was 40% WAP and 60% SRS in weight. For the fermentation of the mixture of WAP and SRS, Bifidobacterium FBD-27 and FBD-22 were selected as suitable strains.

For the development of high value consumables utilizing jujube and grape, we investigated the biological activities of a variety of existing fermentation products of jujube and grape. The results revealed that ethanol fermentation products of jujube and grape had a higher antioxidative activity than acetic acid fermentation products. In addition, the ethanol fermentation products of jujube (JEF) had the highest antioxidative activity, with it being greater than that of the ethanol fermentation products of grape (GEF), the acetic acid fermentation products of jujube (JAF) and the acetic acid fermentation products of grape (GAF). As regards tests on whitening effects, JEF exhibited the highest tyrosinase inhibition effects amongst the test groups. However, when immunofluorecence was employed, JAF was seen to inhibit the expression of proteins related to the whitening effect. In the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated mode peritoneal macrophage model, all tested groups of fermentation products (JEF, GEF, JAF and GAF) suppressed nitric oxide production dose-dependently, with ethanol fermentation products demonstrating a higher nitric oxide expression inhibition effect than acetic acid fermentation products. When subjected to antibacterial activity tests, GAF exhibited antibacterial activity against all tested strains except Propionibacterium acnes. Both GAF and JEF revealed high antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli.

The test for comparison of thawing-fermentation time in variable temperature was shown the condition of dough conditioner at 3$0^{\circ}C$ was most effective for bread making, Because That condition was required very short time(74 min) But, in this comparison of volume in final products was shown the products in the condition of thawing-fermentation at 3$0^{\circ}C$ was smaller than the products at 5$^{\circ}C$(418 ml). The baking volume of L-Aa additive frozen dough which has under gone thawing-fermentation at 3$0^{\circ}C$, were shown baking volume of 420 ml in 2 weeks storage terms to 100 mg/kg L-Aa additive dough and shown baking volume of 454 ml in 4 weeks storage terms to dough of 200 mg/kg additive weight. Staling degrees of L-Aa additive frozen bread were measured with Rheometer. The hardness of 100 mg/kg L-Aa additive frozen bread was sown low level hardness in 1~2 weeks freezing term, 150 mg/kg L-Aa additive frozen bread was shown low level hardness in 3 weeks freezing term. In 4 weeks freezing term, 200 mg/kg L-Aa additive frozen bread was shown low level hardness compared with non-additive L-Aa frozen bread. In comparison of frozen bread quality, non-additive L-Aa products was better than additive L-Aa products in equality of baking shape and external apparence. But in total quality in external and internal apparence, additive L-Aa products was better than non-additive L-Aa products.

The levels of citrinin and monacolin K in ten commercial Korean Monascus fermentation products were determined. The products contained citrinin at levels ranging from 0.64 to $112.27\;{\mu}/kg$, with only 2 exceeding the limit of $50\;{\mu}g/kg$ set by the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). The levels of monacolin K ranged from 0.87 to 1,030 mg/kg, however 6 products contained monacolin K at levels lower than 500 mg/kg, the level required by KFDA to be claimed as a functional food. Therefore, many commercial Korean Monascus fermentation products should be considered safe, however many need to be improved before being considered as functional dietary supplements.

A study was conducted to examine the physical and chemical changes of wines fermented from three different varieties by three different methods. The products were evaluated by twenty subjects on color, aroma, and taste. The results were as follows; 1) The moisture contents of those varieties were ranged from 90. 70 to 90.82% The Brix sugar and sugar contents were in order of Muscat Bailey A>Alden>Cambell Early. The titratable acidity was higher in Muscat Bailey A and Alden than in Cambell Early while PH of Cambell Early was higher than those of the two others. 2) The specific gravities of the products were slightly decreased as the fermentation progressed. 3) The yeast-fermentation showed the higher degree of alcoholic contents compared to the natural fermentations. of the natural fermentations, the washed-natural fermentation resulted in the lower alcoholic contents than unwashed one. 4) The PH's were also higher in the yeast-fermentation products than in the natural fermentation groups. The difference, however, was smaller as the fermentation progressed further. 5) The total ester coutents of the yeast fermentation group were slightly higher at the beginning of the fermentation than those of the natural fermentation products and the contents were increased during the fermentation in overall. 6) Twenty panel mentors judged the ripe wine products and the order of preference was Alden>Muscat Baliey A>Cabell Early. They preferred the yeast-fermentation wine to the natural fermentation products.

In ethanol fermentation, by-products such as glycerol, acetic acid and lactic acid are produced along with ethanol. The effects of culture conditions on cell growth ethanol production and by-products biosynthesis were investigated in ethanol fermentation using S. cerevisiae. With increasing aeration rate or yeast extract concentration, ethanol and by-products biosynthesis decreased while final cell mass increased. With increasing glucose concentration or decreasing temperature, final cell mass, ethanol and by-products concentrations all increased. The optimal pH for the cell growth, ethanol and by-products productions was found to be pH 4.5. By-products biosynthesis was found, in general, to proceed with the ethanol biosynthesis. The results can be applied for the optimization of ethanol fermentation and for the recovery and purification of ethanol from the culture broth.

In order to improve feed values of Korean agricultural by-products, various treatments including physical, chemical, physicochemical and fermentation were suggested in th is review article. Physical treatments such as chopping, grinding and pelleting reduce partiole size of agricultural by-products, and increase passage rate from the rumen, thus may increase voluntary feed intake and weight gain. Digestibility and voluntary feed intake of straw, rice hull and sawdust, also, may be increased by chemical treatment using sodium hydroxide or ammonia. Especially, because nitrogen content of by-products increase and toxic problem is not posed by ammonia treatment, it's practical usage is recommended in Korea. Silage or fermentation treatment using principles of microbial fermentation may improve palatability of low quality by-products. As mentioned above, it is concluded that various treatments suggested are desirable and improve feed value but may raise several problems. Unfortunately, because cost for installation and products is great and processing work is complicate, farmers are not using well these processing methods until now. Therefore, in order to increase the practical usage at farm level, it is thought that many research works be achieved for efficient process which have simple operation and low installation cost.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine internal structure spectral profile of by-products from coffee processing that were affected by added-microorganism fermentation duration in relation to truly absorbed feed nutrient supply in ruminant system. Methods: The by-products from coffee processing were fermented using commercial fermentation product, consisting of various microorganisms: for 0 (control), 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. In this study, carbohydrate-related spectral profiles of coffee by-products were correlated with their chemical and nutritional properties (chemical composition, total digestible nutrient, bioenergy values, carbohydrate sub-fractions and predicted degradation and digestion parameters as well as milk value of feed). The vibrational spectra of coffee by-products samples after fermentation for 0 (control), 7, 14, 21, and 28 days were determined using a JASCO FT/IR-4200 spectroscopy coupled with accessory of attenuated total reflectance (ATR). The molecular spectral analyses with univariate approach were conducted with the OMNIC 7.3 software. Results: Molecular spectral analysis parameters in fermented and non-fermented by-products from coffee processing included structural carbohydrate, cellulosic compounds, non-structural carbohydrates, lignin compound, CH-bending, structural carbohydrate peak1, structural carbohydrate peak2, structural carbohydrate peak3, hemicellulosic compound, non-structural carbohydrate peak1, non-structural carbohydrate peak2, non-structural carbohydrate peak3. The study results show that added-microorganism fermentation induced chemical and nutritional changes of coffee by-products including carbohydrate chemical composition profiles, bioenergy value, feed milk value, carbohydrate subfractions, estimated degradable and undegradable fractions in the rumen, and intestinal digested nutrient supply in ruminant system. Conclusion: In conclusion, carbohydrate nutrition value changes by added-microorganism fermentation duration were in an agreement with the change of their spectral profile in the coffee by-products. The studies show that the vibrational ATR-FT/IR spectroscopic technique could be applied as a rapid analytical tool to evaluate fermented by-products and connect with truly digestible carbohydrate supply in ruminant system.
