In wine making, to perform yeast culture effectively, which is the most important factor, 5 strains of representative active dry yeasts were selected : Montrachet, Pasteur Champagne, Epernay II, Prise do Mousse, Lalvin W15. The results about fermentation properties were as follows. After 1 day of fermentation, the ethanol contents of Lalvin W15 wine and Montrachet wine were 5.4% and 4.0%. After 2 days of fermentation, the ethanol content of Lalvin W15 wine was 9.2%, which is the highest degree among all experimental groups. As for the content of sugar solution, the wine fermented by Lalvin W15 was the highest one. In acidic solution, fermentation activity of Prise de Mousse, Lalvin W15, Montrachet were highest degrees and Red wine fermentation activity of Prise de Mousse has shown the highest degree in its fermentation activity, if only initial SO$_2$ amounts were 200 ppm. In regard to the foaming tendency during fermentation, the size of foams in Montrachet was big and the amount of foams was a lot. The change in Brix during the fermentation became evident after two days. The Brix of Montrachet wine and Lalvin W15 wine was 3.0, a high initial fermentation speed. After 10 days of fermentation, total acidity of Lalvin W15 wine was 0.99g/100m1, the highest degree. After 3 days of fermentation, the ethanol content of Lalvin W15 wine was 7.4%, the highest degree. But after 9 days of fermentation Epernay II showed the higher ethanol concentration to 13.8%.

Habanero red pepper (HRP)-fermented liquid with Acetobacter pasteurianus SRCM101474 was prepared, the quality characteristics measured and bioactivity analysis were measured. As the fermentation period increased, the number of viable cells increased, pH decreased, and acidity increased. After fermentation, the organic acid content of HRP was confirmed to be acetic acid with the highest content of 33413.54 ppm. Analysis of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin showed that the increase was significantly raised as acetic acid fermentation progressed. The total phenol and flavonoid contents as well as the antioxidant activity increased as the fermentation period passed. In addition, α-glucosidase inhibitory and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities were significantly increased after fermentation. It was confirmed that it can be used as a functional material by measuring the physiological activities of antioxidant, anti-obesity, and anti-diabetes through fermentation, and the possibility of development as a spicy material and application product using it as capsaicin increases after fermentation.

This study aimed to develop high value-added mulberry (Morus alba) vinegar by fermenting mulberry with yeast and acetic acid bacteria, for using it in various foods. To select the optimal strain for mulberry fermentation, different strains were tested and Saccharomyces cerevisiae SRCM101756 and Acetobacter pasteurianus SRCM102419, exhibiting excellent alcohol and acetic acid production ability during mulberry fermentation, were selected for fermentation. Mulberry vinegar was prepared using mulberry wine and the selected acetic acid bacteria, and the physicochemical properties and physiological effects were measured. The pH was 2.98 and total acidity was 4.70% by day 9 of fermentation, establishing the possibility of developing them into vinegars for industrial use. The angiotensin-glucosidase inhibition activity of mulberry vinegar increased from 13.22% to 19.19% in the 100-fold dilution, and from 42.35% to 46.11% in the 50-fold dilution, from before fermentation to after fermentation, respectively. The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition activity of mulberry vinegar was found to significantly increase from 44.82% before fermentation to 63.88% after fermentation in the 25-fold dilution. Moreover, a significant increase in pancreatic lipase inhibition activity after fermentation was observed. Thus, mulberry vinegar can be used as a functional material in vinegar and other foods.

In order to study the effect of Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) components on acetic acid fermentation, ginseng extracts, sucrose, total can de saponins were added to the basal niedium respectively and surface culture was carried out at 30$^{\circ}C$. Lag ime, total acidity of the fermentation broth inhibitors and the degrees of inhibition were determined in tile course of fermentation . 1. Acetic acid fermentation was not inhibited by the addition of less than 1.93% of sucrose but the degree of inhibition was increased slightly by the addition of sucrose more than that. 2. Ginseng extract inhibited acetic acid fermentation slightly, and the degree of inhibition was similar to that of sucrose. Lag time was about 72 hours when a 20% of ginseng extract was added to the basal medium while that of the control was 22hours. 3. The free saponins inhibited acetic acid fermentation considerably, and the degree of inhibition of the saponins was about 400 folds of that of ginseng extracts. An increase of total acidity of the broth which contained 2.905% of the saponins was not observed even after one month. 4. It was presumed that some other components except saponins and sucrose in ginseng extracts counter the inbition effect of saponins on acetic acid fermentation

We made the Toha-jeot added cabbage kimchi with Toha-jeot, which is salt-fermented Toha shrimp in Korean traditional fermented food. The physicochemical characteristics of cabbage kimchi for 5 week fermentation at 4$^{\circ}C$ were observed. The salt content was 2.10~1.50% during the fermentation period. The salt content decreased rapidly during the first week, stayed the same level until the 4 week and then decreased after the 4 week. The pH of control kimchi and Toha-jeot added cabbage kimchi were 5.69, 5,64, respectively on preparation day. The rate of decrease of pH of Toha-jeot added cabbage kimchi was slow as the fermentation processed. The total acidity of the two kinds of kimchi was increased. The total acidity was higher from Toha-jeot added cabbage kimchi than control cabbage kimchi at the later stage of fermentation. The contents of total sugar and reducing sugar were higher from Toha-jeot added cabbage kimchi than control cabbage kimchi at the early stage of fermentation. The total sugar and reducing sugar contents of the two kinds of cabbage kimchi were decreased gradually as the fermentation processed. The ascorbic acid contents of the two kinds of kimchi were decreased slightly at the early stage of fermentation and then increased from 2 to 4 week, while there was no further change at 5 week.

The growth characteristics and production of color pigments by Monascus strains were investigated during liquid culture, and production of monacolin K in red mold rice was carried out by solid state fermentation. Four different Monascus ruber strains were cultured in potato dextrose yeast extract broth (PDYB) media at $25^{\circ}C$ for 15 days. The high producing strain for red pigment was not corresponded to the strain for yellow pigment. Production of red pigment was high in the strain causing the fast pH change in culture broth. Production of monacolin K in red mold rice by solid state fermentation was influenced by a combination of wet cell weight and spore density in inoculum by liquid culture. Most strains showed the high production of monacolin K in red mold rice, when submerged fermentation was carried out for 5 days as inoculum for solid state fermentation. These results suggest that submerged fermentation period of inoculum have an effect on the production of monacolin K in red mold rice by solid state fermentation, and monacolin K in red mold rice could be increased by controlling the condition of submerged fermentation for inoculum.

To study the characteristics and processing of Kochujang which is rapidly fermented by commercial enzymes, three kinds of Kochujang(KP-FA, KP-FN, and KP-BN) using commercial proteases and one Kochujang(KM) using Meju were prepared and their qualities investigated. There were only small differences in pH and acidity between each Kochujang. The moisture contents were high tendency in the three kinds of Kochujangs using the commercial proteases at 20 days of fermentation. Reducing sugars had a tendency to decrease during the fermentation in the Kochujangs using the proteases. During the first half of fermentation, the Kochujangs made with proteases showed higher amino nitrogen contents than the Kochujang(KM) made using Meju. Acidic protease activity was high in KP-FA at 20 days of fermentation and neutral protease activity was high in KP-FN and KP-BN at the beginning of fermentation. The Kochujangs made using the proteases, through 20 days of fermentation, obtained high preference in the sensory evaluation for color, texture, and overall acceptability. However, the hot taste was stronger in these Kochujangs during the fermentation.

This study aimed to examine the fermentation quality of a tropical Elephant grass (Pennisetum purpuereum) and temperate Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) forages ensiled additive of fermented juice of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and to determine what factor affects the fermentation characteristics of the crops. In both species cell walls neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) contents in silages were consistently decreased (p<0.05) with the addition of FJLB at ensiling more then Control treatment. The FJLB additive increased number of LAB (cfu) and lactate concentration in the silages in both species. The Control treatment without additive underwent a clostridial type of fermentation with traces of propionic, iso-butyric, n-butyric acids contents with higher (p<0.01) levels of volatile basic nitrogen (VBN %TN) and had appreciable decreased of nutrient in silages. FJLB treatment improved silage nutritive value with little contents of VBN %TN, ethanol and very small amount of dry matter (DM) and hemicellulose losses (p<0.05) between 2 to 5% and 7 to 3% respectively, in Elephant grass and Italian ryegrass species. The results in this study indicates that while among the factors affecting silage fermentation butyric type of fermentation was more pronounced in tropical elephant grass compared to the temperate Italian ryegrass, FJLB additive revealed a better silage fermentation products in both species.

Effects of protease-resistant antimicrobial substances (PRA) produced by Lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc citreum on rumen methanogenesis were examined using the in vitro continuous methane quantification system. Four different strains of lactic acid bacteria, i) Lactococcus lactis ATCC19435 (Control, non-antibacterial substances), ii) Lactococcus lactis NCIMB702054 (Nisin-Z), iii) Lactobacillus plantarum TUA1490L (PRA-1), and iv) Leuconostoc citreum JCM9698 (PRA-2) were individually cultured in GYEKP medium. An 80 ml aliquot of each supernatant was inoculated into phosphate-buffered rumen fluid. PRA-1 remarkably decreased cumulative methane production, though propionate, butyrate and ammonia N decreased. For PRA-2, there were no effects on $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ production and fermentation characteristics in mixed rumen cultures. The results suggested that PRA-1 reduced the number of methanogens or inhibited utilization of hydrogen in rumen fermentation.

This study was intended to observe the changes of pectic substances and enzyme activities, texture, microstructure of anchovy added kimchi during fermentation for 4 weeks at 4$^{\circ}C$. Content of alcohol insoluble solid(AIS) and HCl soluble pectin(HClSP) were decreased, whereas content of hot water soluble pectin(HWSP) was increased during fermentation. Content of HClSP was higher and HWSP was lower in anchovy added kimchi than control. Activity of pectinesterase(PE) was decreased, whereas activity of polygalacturonase(PG) was increased during fermentation. In anchovy added kimchi, PG activity was lower than control. Changes in microstructure of Chinese cabbage and kimchi during fermentation was lower than control. Changes in microstructure of Chinese cabbage and kimchi during fermentation was observed ; in the raw cabbage, parenchyma cells, intercellular space and middle lamella were clearly shown. But in salted cabbage, middle lamella became separated. In the late stage of fermentation, parenchyma cell walls were wrinkled and collapsed. Puncture forces of kimchi were decreased, whereas cutting forces of kimchi were increased as fermentation proceeded. The firmness was slightly higher in anchovy added kimchi than control at the late stage fermentation, which may be explained by the PG activity.
