Shindari is a traditional fermented drink of Jeju in Korea, which is made with boiled barley and nuruk for short fermentation periods. This study determined chemical, microbiological, and sensory characteristics of the modified Shindari with 15% carrots as an additive (carrot Shindari), and this study compared it with a traditional Shindari as a control. After fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$ for a day, the pHs of the carrot Shindari and traditional Shindari largely decreased, and the total acidities increased in both of the Shindari. The significantly higher scores of Hunter's color values were observed more in carrot Shindari than in traditional Shindari. Also, carrot Shindari (0.4954 g/100 g) had a significantly higher content of vitamin C than traditional Shindari (0.0030 g/100 g). The most abundant free sugar and organic acid were glucose and lactic acid, respectively, in both of the Shindari. The total numbers of bacteria, fungi and lactic-acid bacteria in both samples increased by log 3 CFU/mL after fermentation. Based on 16S ribosomal RNA gene analysis, the dominant lactic-acid bacteria was Pediococcus acidilactici in both samples. The DPPH (1.1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity of carrot Shindari (60.13%) was higher than that of traditional Shindari (23.70%). In sensory evaluations (taste, flavor, color, and overall acceptance), the carrot Shindari had higher scores in all these values. In this study, the modified Shindari with carrot presenting high sensory characteristic as well as chemical and microbiologic characteristics provide an opportunity to improve the application of a traditional fermented drink of Jeju, Shindari.

Purpose: This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant effects of Yakju added with rose, camellia, or cockscomb flower during fermentation. Methods: The quality characteristics and antioxidant effects were estimated including pH, amino acidity, total acid, ethanol content, color value, sensory test, electric donating ability, nitrite-scavenging ability, and ferrous ion chelating effect. Results: The pH values of Yakjus added with rose, camellia, or cockscomb flower were decreased after 2 days of fermentation and then increased after 4 days of fermentation, with final pH ranging from 4.15 to 4.27. Total acid content and amino acidity were increased during fermentation. The ethanol content in Yakjus fermented with rose, camellia, or cockscomb flower was rapidly increased after 2 days of fermentation, reaching the maximum content of 19.1% after 8 days of fermentation. In color evaluation, the L values of Yakjus added with rose, camellia, or cockscomb flower did not changes during fermentation, whereas values of a and b were increased. Total phenolic compound contents in Yakjus added with rose, camellia, or cockscomb flower were 0.67, 0.59, and 0.52 mg/mL, respectively. Total flavonoid contents in Yakjus added with rose, camellia, or cockscomb flower were 0.20, 0.09, and 0.26 mg/mL, respectively. In sensory test, the overall acceptability of Yakjus added with cockscomb flower was higher than that of Yakju added with rose or camellia flower. However, the difference was not statistically significant (p<0.05). Electron donating ability and nitrite-scavenging abilities were the highest in Yakjus added with rose flower, whereas ferrous ion chelating effect was the highest in Yakjus added with cockscomb flower. Conclusion: These results indicated that Yakjus added with rose, camellia, or cockscomb flower might have valuable functional properties due to their antioxidant effects.

The quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of makgeolli added with different amounts of pomegranate powder (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) were investigated. Although pH was reduced with increasing concentrations of pomegranate powder, all pH values rapidly decreased for 2 days, and then gently increased afterwards. Total acidity increased until 3 days of fermentation and then slowly increased. Sugar and reducing sugar contents reached maximum levels after 1 day of fermentation and gradually decreased until 7 days. Alcohol content remarkably increased until 2 days and gradually increased until 7 days. The addition of over 10% pomegranate powder increased yeast count until 3 days of fermentation, followed by a decrease. In the sensory evaluation, color, flavor, sweetness, and overall acceptance decreased with increasing concentrations of pomegranate powder, and sourness and bitterness slightly increased. Early antioxidant activity improved according to the concentration of pomegranate powder, but addition of 15% and 20% pomegranate powders reduced antioxidant activity from 3 days of fermentation. In conclusion, addition of 10% pomegranate powder would be the most suitable to manufacture pomegranate makgeolli.

Effect of different levels (0 ,0.05, 0.15, 0.25%) of xanthan gum on kakdugi fermentation was investigated by analyzing physicochemical and sensory characteristics during fermentation at 2$0^{\circ}C$. During fermentation, pH was maintained higher, and total acidity and number of lactic acid bacteria, maintained lower in xanthan gum groups, especially in 0.05% addition group than control. Free sugar amount were higher in xanthan gun groups than control, and glucose and fructose which were the major free sugars, decreased rapidly during fermentation, whereas mannitol increased in all samples, especially in xanthan gum groups. Liquid content of kakdugi was smaller in 0.05% xanthan gum group than control. Viscosity of kakdugi liquid decreased rapidly whereas initial viscosity was maintained in xanthan gum groups. Hardness decreased during fermentation, but at the 7th day of fermentation was higher in 0.05% xanthan gum group than control. The result of sensory evaluation shows that there were no significant difference in sour odor, moldy, sour taste and savory taste among samples. Starch taste was higher in 0.15% or 0.25% xanthan gum, but there is no difference in 0.05% group, compared to control. Overall preference until the 5th day of fermentation, xanthan gum group was not significantly different from that of control but at the 7th day of fermentation, 0.05% addition group was significantly higher than control.

This study was carried out to investigate the fermentation characteristics and storage of set-type yoghurt added mugwort extracts(AME) such as pH, growth of lactic acid bacteria, number of viable cells, viscosity, and sensory characteristics during 24 hours fermentation and 15 days storage. Addition of mugwort extracts was grown rapidly of lactic acid bacteria rather than that of control and also 4 or 8% AME groups were grown similar to control. The drop of AME pH of broth was less compared with control during incubation of lactic acid bacteria. The growth of lactic acid bacteria during incubation of AME yoghurt was not different of viable cell count between AME group and control in beginning time, but the viable cell count of AME groups were increased depended opon addition quantity of AME in ending time. Addition of mugwort extracts was not affect on pH change during yoghurt fermentation and increased a lactic acid bacteria number as well as no effect of yoghurt fermentation in ending time. The viscosity of yoghurt was almost not changed 3 hours after yoghurt mix and increased rapidly 6 hours after yoghurt mix. Although control and 0.5% AME group showed maximum viscosity at 18 hours of fermentation, 1 and 2% AME group showed linear increase until 24 hours of fermentation. Mugwort did not affect pH and viable cel number of lactic acid bacteria during 15 days storage 24 hours after fermentation. Sensory evaluation of the AME yoghurt showed that flavour, texture and acid taste were not affected by addition of mugwort. However, the appearance and taste were dropped by addition of mugwort.

Effect of covering various levels(0, 1, 3, 5 and 7% per Chinese radish weight) of bamboo(Pseudosasa japonica Makino) leaves on the surface of Dongchimi was studied in the course of fermenting at 1$0^{\circ}C$ up to 75 days. Physicochemical, microbiogical, and sensory characteristics of Dongchimi were analyzed at regular intervals of 5 to 7 days during fermentation. Both the degree of pH drop from the initial 6.47~6.54and increase total acid content from the initial 0.004%, with the accumulation of organic acids tended to be more gradual depending upon the amounts of bamboo leaves covered. The increases of total solid content and turbidity were also suppressed in similar patterns, notably after 13 days of fermentation. The growth of total bacteria(1.5$\times$10$^4$cfu/ml, initial)was partly inhibited while that of lactic acid bacteria(1.8$\times$10$^4$cfu/ml, initial)was favorably encouraged by the presence of bamboo leaves. As a result of sensory evaluation, Dong-chimi covered with 1 and 3% bamboo leaves on showed the higher scores significantly(p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001) in overall acceptability till 39 days. But after 61 days, those covered with 3 and 5% bamboo leaves were rather preferable than any other one.

Fig(Ficus carica L.) which belongs to Moraceae family has been used as digestion promoter, cure for ulcerative inflammation and eruption in Korea. Figs have very short preservation period and can be kept only 1 week even in the refrigeration system. The possibility of wine-making from Korean figs was tested by analyzing the fermentation characteristics, proximate analysis and free sugar contents of wine made of slices with 20% sugar addition. Ethanol fermentation of the figs by Saccharomyces cerevisiae was done rapidly. The ethanol contents, pH, total acidity and sugar content were 12.1%, 3.91, 0.42% and 9.9 °Brix, respectively. The results from the sensory evaluation were as follows. The wine made from the sliced figs were better than that from fig juices in their sensory scores. The wine made with frozen figs was not different from that made with fresh ones. To improve the quality of wine, the addition of dried leaf powder in the concentration of 100 ppm were tried and found it was superior to the one made without leaf.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical and sensory characteristics and overall preference for makgeolli after conducting fermentation using carrots with various levels of beta carotene and functional materials. The beta - carotene content was highest in 16% carrot powder, and steadily increased as the amount of carrot powder increased. Alcohol content increased with increasing amount of carrot powder. Alcohol content which greatly influences the quality of traditional wine, changes depending on the water soluble solid content and free sugar content during the manufacture of traditional wine. Sensory tests showed that the highest results were in the 12% carrot powder added group. As a result, the content of beta carotene increased with the addition of carrot powder, but the fermentation time was delayed and the sugar content was decreased because of variations in sugar content and color. Therefore, the optimal addition of carrot powder was 12%.

Jung-Pyun is a traditional steamed rice bread made of fermented rice dough. A series of the Jung-Puyn samples were prepared according to the experimental design of five factors. Factors were fermentation sources(milky rice wine, activated yeast), weight of added water(60, 65, 70, 75% of rice powder), fermentation temperature(30$^{\circ}C$, 40$^{\circ}C$), fermentation times(2,3,4,5,6,12hours) and weight of added baking powder(1, 2% of rice powder). Trained panels judged the steamed rice bread samples to determine the effects of these factors on the sensory characteristics. The results of sensory evaluation revealed that the most preferable steamed rice bread on the overall eating quality was at the 70% adding water and 1% baking powder, 30$^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours incubation made by 1% addition of yeast.

This research was performed to investigate the potential use of Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) as an ingredient to improve the biological function and flavor of kimchi. The quality characteristics were studied for kimchi with or without Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medicus (CBM kimchi) during fermentation for 25 days at $10^{\circ}C$. The pH changes of CBM kimchi were slower than those of control but did not show any significant difference after addition of Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medicus during fermentation. The titratable acidity of CBM kimchi was higher than that of control. The log number of total bacteria was lower about 1.5 $log_{10}$ cycle in CBM kimchi than in control during fermentation. However, lactic acid bacteria did not show significant difference between CMB kimchi and control. Sensory qualities of kimchi such as color, taste, flavor and overall acceptability were significantly improved by addition of 3% Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medicus(p<0.05).
