The objective of this study was to investigate antimicrobial activity, during the storage period, of animal feed and any effects on in vitro rumen digestion by supplementing different levels (5.55, 11.1, and 22.2 g/kg) of freeze dried citrus peel (FDCP) to the feed compared to untreated feed and feed treated with an antifungal agent (AA) at 0.05 g/kg. In a preservation test, feed supplemented with FDCP showed no deterioration over 21 days. Untreated feed and AA-treated feed, however, showed signs of deterioration after 16 days storage. Yellow colour and red colour, measured by spectro chromameter, decreased in the untreated and AA-treated feeds, but not in feed supplemented with FDCP. Aflatoxin was detected in untreated and AA-treated feeds at 16 days (8 ppb and 2 ppb) and 21 days (8 ppb and 4 ppb), but aflatoxin was not detected in the feed supplemented with FDCP. In a second experiment, fermentation by rumen microorganisms of FDCP (22.2 g/kg) and AA (0.05 g/kg) supplemented feeds was studied in vitro. Feeds were incubated with buffered rumen fluid for 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, and 48 h. Dry matter digestibility (DMD) and organic matter digestibility (OMD) were affected by treatment, but ammonia-N, total, and individual volatile fatty acids (VFA) were not adversely affected by treatment. In conclusion, the results indicated that FDCP might be useful for inhibiting microbial growth of animal feed during storage without disrupting rumen fermentation.

Jeung-Pyun is a traditional fermented Korean food with rice flour, water, sugar, salt and unrefined rice wine(Takju). In order to investigate how the addition of soybean has an influence on Jeung-Pyun fermentation, changing to adding amount of soybean 0%, 5%, l0%. 15%, 20% based on rice weight, we carried out sensory evaluation and measured the physicochemical properties, instrumental characteristics and degree of gelatinization. The specific volume of Jeung-Pyun was increased as the more soybean was added. The pH of Jeung-Pyun batter was decreased as the fermentation time was longer, but it was increased as more soybean was added. The degree of gelatinization of Jeung-Pyun was decreased as storage day was longer, but it was high as more soybean was added compared to control(0%). In sensory evaluation, Jeung-Pyun added 5∼10% of soybean was good generally. Correlation coefficient between hardness and degree of gelatinization was high. In instrumental characteristics, hardness was increased only in control for room temperature storage(20$^{\circ}C$), but at 4$^{\circ}C$ it was less increased than control(0%) as more soybean was added. Cohesiveness was decreased generally as storage day was longer at 4$^{\circ}C$, but it was less decreased as more soybean was added. In brittleness at 4$^{\circ}C$, Jeung-Pyun of adding soybean was higher compared to control. In surface structure of Jeung-Pyun observerd by SEM. air pore size was small and distributed regularly as more soybean added. In conclusion. it can be suggested that the addition of soybean improve the quality of Jeung-Pyun.

Lactic acid fermentation of prickly pear extract (PPE) was performed by Lactobacillus rhamnosus LS, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Lactobacillus brevis. The PPE was pasteurized to eliminate indigenous microorganisms as well as to dissolve the partially insoluble pulp. The PPE fermented without yeast extract by L. rhamnosus LS exhibited 0.57％ acidity and 3.5${\times}$10$^{8}$ CFU/mL bacteria count. With the addition of 0.2% edible yeast extract the PPE fermented by L. rhamnosus LS exhibited 1.15％ acidity,2.7${\times}$10$^{9}$ CFU/mL bacteria count and 95.0% retention of red color. When 5％ fructose syrup was added, the PPE fermented by L. rhamnosus LS had 1.09% acidity, 6.5${\times}$10$^{8}$ CFU/mL, and 97.7% retention of red color. With 1∼3% (w/v) concentrations of starter, the PPE fermented by L. bulgaricus and L. brevis showed 0.97% and 0.65% acidities, respectively. The viable cell counts from L. rhamnosus LS fermentation were higher compared with those of other LAB. During cold storage at 4$^{\circ}C$, the viable cell count was well maintained for 3 weeks, but then rapidly decreased. The red pigment was highly stable during cold storage for 4 weeks. The pasteurized PPE fortified with 5% fructose syrup, 0.2% yeast extract, and 0.05% CaCO$_3$ was successfully fermented by inoculating with 3% LAB and incubating at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 days. Both viable cell counts and the red color of the fermented PPE were well maintained during cold storage for 3 weeks.

This study was carried out to investigate commercialization of Kimchi made of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) using pre-fermentation conditions. The pre-fermentation conditions were 0, 18, 24, and 28 h at $20^{\circ}C$, and then the samples were stored at $10^{\circ}C$ to assess changes in quality characteristics. A comparison of the quality characteristics during storage showed that PF24 (pre-fermented cabbage Kimchi during 24 h at $20^{\circ}C$) and PF28 (pre-fermented cabbage Kimchi during 28 h at $20^{\circ}C$) had pH 4.47 and pH 4.23 on the second day of storage, respectively. It was possible to shorten the fermentation time to less than that of PF0 (not pre-fermented cabbage Kimchi at $20^{\circ}C$), by approximately 3 days. Total acidity was 0.26 to 0.29% immediately after making the Kimchi. However, PF0, PF18 (pre-fermented cabbage Kimchi during 18 h at $20^{\circ}C$), PF24 and PF28 became well-fermented when they were stored for 8~14 days, 3~10 days or 2~3 days. The number of lactic acid bacteria increased with the passage of time in all treatment groups regardless of fermentation conditions. However, the longer pre-fermentation time became, the faster the number of lactic acid bacteria increased. Most samples showed similar results late in the storage period; 7.2~7.4 log CFU/mL. PF0 had the greatest volume change 2.1 times increase late in the storage period. The sensory evaluation showed significant differences for flavor, taste, and overall acceptability after a partial storage period. PF28 stored for 2~3 days showed excellent flavor, and PF24 and PF28 stored for 2~3 days showed the highest scores of 6.27 to 6.67. The PF24 and PF28 treated samples were appropriate for commercializing small packed cabbage Kimchi and for alleviating the expansion problem of the packing material. However, because mass commercial production requires a large number of samples to be used at once, the results should be assessed for industrial product development in the future.

In this study, physicochemical properties of acorn flour was investigated, and characteristics of the Jeung-pyun dough added with the acorn flour at various concentrations were evaluated after storage at -$18^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks and fermentation. Total polyphenolic content, electron donating ability (EDA) of 0.5%, gelatinization onset temperature (To), gelatinization peak temperature (Tp), and gelatinization conclusion temperature (Tc) of acorn flour were 3,525.12 mg%, 16.71%, $68.41^{\circ}C$, $73.83^{\circ}C$, and $82.96^{\circ}C$, respectively. These all values were increased in the Jeung-pyun dough possibly due to addition of the acorn flour. The yeast count was not affected by the addition levels of acorn flour and the frozen storage period before fermentation. The amount of carbon dioxide gas evolved from Jeung-pyun dough during fermentation was significantly changed with the concentration of acorn flour, but it was negligible. The Jeung-pyun added with 6% acorn flour showed an small increase in the amount of carbon dioxide after frozen storage of 1 wk and fermentation. The pH of the fermented Jeung-pyun samples decreased along with the increasing storage period as well as the increasing acorn flour content, ranging from 4.21 to 5.34. Therefore, the frozen Jeung-pyun dough containing 6~15% of acorn flour and stored for 3 weeks was the most desirable among all the tested samples in this study.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of n-capric acid(CA) or n-capric acid methyl ester (CE) addition during salting process, and fermentation temperature on chemical and microbial changes of Kimchi. The pHs of control, CA and CE were 3.78, 4.28 and 4.35 after 6 days of storage at $20^{\circ}C$ and were 3.85, 5.14 and 5.10 after 42 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$, respectively. The effects of CA or CE addition at $4^{\circ}C$ were higher than those at $20^{\circ}C$. The maximum edible acidity, 0.75%, was reached within 3 days at $20^{\circ}C$, 15 days at $12^{\circ}C$, and the acidity of 42 days at $4^{\circ}C$ was 0.62% which was still lower value than the maximum edible acidity. Total bacteria, Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus and yeast counts of the control were higher value than those of the treatments throught the whole fermentation period. The addition of CE at $4^{\circ}C$ had much affected the reduction of yeast count. As microbial counts and reduction rates of control and treated Kimchi increased with increasing the storage temperature.

The physicochemical properties and storage stability of blueberries fermented by lactic acid bacteria were investigated. The viable cell count of lactic acid bacteria slowly increased to 5.96 log CFU/mL after 72 hr of fermentation. The pH decreased whereas titratable acidity increased after fermentation. The contents of total anthocyanin (31.52 mg/100 g) and cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) (5.41 mg/100 g) after 72 hr of fermentation were higher than those of non-fermented blueberries (16.10 mg/100 g and 2.21 mg/100 g, respectively). The L and a value decreased, and the b and ${\Delta}$E value increased. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of fermented blueberries (2.21 g/100 g and 0.91 g/100 g, respectively) were higher than those of non-fermented blueberries (1.13 g/100 g and 0.49 g/100g, respectively). The DPPH radical scavenging activity and superoxide radical scavenging activity of the fermented blueberries were 30.74%, and 52.76%, respectively. The ferric reducing antioxidant power of the fermented blueberries ($256.42{\mu}M/g$) was higher than that of non-fermented blueberries ($191.52{\mu}M/g$). Anthocyanin and C3G content was stable in fermented blueberries after 42 days of storage. The results suggest that blueberries fermented by lactic acid bacteria have the potential to be functional materials in the food industry.

This study was conducted to investigate the feed value and silage quality according to storage period and film layers in whole crop oat silage. The crude protein content was increased in all silage during the storage periods compared to those before silage, under prolonged storage period slightly and the number of film layers of silage, six layer were higher than four layers, but no significant. NDF and ADF contents were also increased in all silage of storage duration compared to those before silage, but they was similar level between storage duration and number of film layers. TDN content was decreased of the storage duration. However, it was similar under the storage duration and the number of film layers. The pH value was decreased during prolonged storage period and six layers was lower than four layers depending on the film layers. In the organic acid contents, lactic acid and acetic acid were increased under the prolonged storage duration, and butyric acid was higher significantly(p<0.05), six layers of the film were showed higher lactic acid and lower butyric acid(p<0.05). Therefore, oat silage should be used within 6 months it was when treated with 4 layers, if considering the long-term storage, it is desirable to treat it with 6 layers or more.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of browning inhibitors during fermentation and storage of rice-grape wine. Bentonite, polyvinylopolypyrrolidone (PVPP), and potassium metabisulfite were added to rice-grape wine during fermentation and storage in order to find an effective method of inhibiting browning. Total phenolics content, pH, amino acidity, hydroxymethylfurfural content, and absorbance at 420 nm were measured during storage to assess the effects of the different browning substrates. Potassium metabisulfite was the most effective browning inhibitior. Sensory evaluation also showed that rice-grape wine treated with potassium metabisulfite was highly Preferable in terms of color, taste, flavor, and overall quality.

The effect of ripening temperature, pH and salinity on the formation of Nnitrosamine (NA) during Kimchi fermentation and in vitro was studied, respectively. During Kimchi fermentation for six weeks at cold storage temperature ($4^{\circ}C$) and room temperature ($16{\pm}2^{\circ}C$), the contents of nitrite and dimethylamine (DMA) showed variation at room temperature but no variation at cold storage temperature. The maximum generation of nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) resulted low content ($2.69\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$) at cold storage temperature but started to increase after one week fermentation and reached to the 18-fold higher generation ($49.6\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$) at room temperature. During Kimchi fermentation, no correlation was observed between the variation of nitrite and DMA content and the generation of NDMA. However, pH showed effective relation to NDMA generation such as the highest NDMA generation was obtained at lowest pH 4. During in vitro test, higher temperature and lower pH resulted more NDMA generation and generation amount was affected more by pH. Also, the salinity of Kimchi provided inhibitory effects on the formation of NDMA. NDMA was produced $5.86\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$ at normal salinity (2.5%) but $90.9\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$ at lower salinity (15%) after three week. The higher salinity showed lower formation of NDMA in vitro test, too.
