Extractive fermentations with the extract of Jerusalem artichoke in an aqueous-two-phase-system of polyethyleneglycol(PEG) and dextran(Dx) were investigated to obtain the effects of composition of PEG and Dx on both fermentation ,characteristics and partition ratio of alcohol. The specific growth rate of K. Fraglis CBS 1555 increased with a decrease of concentration of PEG and Dx. It augmented along with concentration of initial sugar up to 80g/l but decreased thereafter. The specific production rate of alcohol showed a rising tendency up to 100g/lof initial sugar, whereafter represented a decreasing trend. The partition ratio of alcohol between two phases augmented according to decrease of Dx comic. and increase of PEG cone. regardless of initial sugar concentrations. The ratio, however, decreased with Increment of initial sugar concentration at constant composition of PEG and Dx. The partition coefficient of alcohol had an ascending effect to the increase of PEG cone, but it had little effect on the changes of concentrations of Dx and initial sugar. The present study suggests that the optimum composition of PEG and Dx in the aqueous-two-phase-system by extractive fermentation were around 6.5%(w/v) of PEG and 3%(w/v) of Dx in considerations of emulsion state, sedimentation and separation of two phases, alcohol partition ratio, and specific growth rate.

The objective of this study was to improve the Dasik through the addition of sugar alcohol(xylitol, mannitol, sorbitol, erythritol) and agar during the production of Dasik in order to complement the texture of Dasik. Dasik sample were prepared, and the sensory quality and physical characteristics of the samples were compared and the antibacterial characteristics of green tea Dasik containing sugar alcohol against oral bacteria were also examined. The results are summarized as follows. The moisture content of green tea containing sugar alcohol to improve the physical properties was over 30%. The water activity of the agar-added Dasik was higher than that of the control group. The pH was significantly higher for both the experimental group and the control group. The color L value was the brightest at 59.21 for FAOG, while the a value was the lowest for SG, and the b value was the highest for MG. In the texture analysis, the hardness of the control group was the highest at $5181.04\;g/cm^2$ for SSG. The cohesiveness was the highest at 0.16% for SG and the chewiness was the highest at 182.12 g for MG, while the lowest cohesiveness was determined to be 43.73 g for EG. As for the adhesiveness, the agar, sugar alcohol-added groups were overall negative (-) while SG was found to have the lowest negative value at -39.25 g. In the sensory evaluation, the control XYG group scored the highest in moistness, adhesiveness, chewiness, and overall acceptance. In addition, all groups except SSG exhibited antibacterial characteristics against P. bivia. In conclusion, Dasik with added agar was shown to complement the texture of Dasik due to the added sugar alcohol.

The sugar alcohols are useful alternatives to sucrose in confections because they provide desirable taste but lessen the potential risks for dental caries. The effects of sugar alcohol and their interaction on starch pasting properties were determined by the viscoamylograph with the concentration of 30%, 20%, 10% sugar alcohol in 1% CMC. The disaccharides, lactitol, maltitol, and isomalt, delayed pasting more than did monosaccharides, sorbitol and xylitol. With regard to the solubility in water, sorbitol and xylitol are more soluble than sucrose, maltitol and lactitol are almost equal and isomalt is less soluble than sucrose. Sorbitol and xylitol were highest on gelatinization. But their retrogradation occurred faster than other sugar alcohols. Lactitol and maltitol decreased gel strength more than did sucrose and other sugar alcohols.

Prickly pear juice(PPJ) extracted from prickly pear fruit (Opuntia ficus-indica)was used as raw material for the production of alcoholic beverages. Prickly pear juice (PPJ) had 0.88 oBrix of soluble solid, pH 3.96 and 0.14% of total acidity. Alcohol fermentation of 25% PPJ including 22 oBrix of sugar and 1$\times$106 of inoculum was suitable for alcohol fermentation indicating the rapid decrease of sugar content. The 22 oBrix of sugar in PPJ (25%)GJ (50%) mixture was changed to 6.5 oBrix after fermentation at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The alcohol content was 9.2% (w/v). PPJ (70%)/GJ (30%) mixture produced alcoholic beverage with 6.9% alcohol content resulting in the gradual decrease of soluble for 7 days. On the other hand, PPJ (50%)/GJ(50%) mixture carried out completely the alcohol fermentation at 22$^{\circ}C$ for 6 days and enhanced the red color of alcoholic beverages.

The effect of concentration of yeast extract and NH4Cl in the mediun of alcohol fermentation of S. cerevisiae ATCC 24858 on the fermentation characteristics, specific growth rate, sugar conversion, alcohol productivity was experimentally investigated. Regardless of initial sugar concentrations, the values of the above three characteristics increased with augument of concentration of yeast extract. However, the increasing tendency ceased above a certain concentration. The concentration of NH4Cl had little effect on the change of the three characteristics. The functional relationships between the concentration of yeast extract and the characteristics were different according to the initial sugar concentrations, but those between the ratio of yeast extract concentration to initial sugar concentration and the characteristics could be expressed as same forms respectively regardless of initial sugar concentrations. Also the values of the three characteristics approached to the maximum values around 0.085 of the ratio, but did not increase any more above 0.1 of the ratio. We have come to conclusion that the optimum ratio of the yeast extract concentration to the initial sugar concentration was about 0.085 and the ratio should not be decided as greater than 0.1 in the medium of alcohol fermentation of S. cerevisiae ATCC 24858.

This study was designed to investigate quality characteristics of alcohol fermentation from 5 barldy cultivars teated with non-steam and steam. In alcohol fermentation treated with non-steam, alcohol concentration reached to 1.7% for naked berley, 2.9% for naked waxy barley and 4.3% for Hinchalssalbori. However, no fermentation was occurred with baney and waxy barley. When the barley cultivars were steamed, alcohol concentrations showed to be higher than those not steamed. In sugar concentration from non-steam, both barley and waxy barley showed to have approximately $9.0\;^{\circ}Brix$ and naked barley, naked waxy barley and Hinchalssalbori showed to have approximately $5.0\;^{\circ}Brix$. When the burley cultivars were steamed, sugar concentration was decreased as alcohol concentration was increased Interestingly, sugar concentrations in barley cultivars were fast dropped more than 50% following alcohol fermentation except naked barley k alcohol fermentation treated with non-steam, total acidity of Hinchalssalbori was 0.51%, but the others showed more than 0.80%. So except for Hinchalssalbori, it was possible that acidification occurred during the fermentation. In total acidity from steam, all samples showed less than 0.3%. In flee sugar from non-steam, total free sugar contents of barley and waxy barley were approximately 4,000.0mg% and contents of naked barley naked waxy barley and Hinchalssalbori were each approximately 300.0 mg%. Free sugar from steam was increased as sugar concentration increased. In conclusion, barley cultivars were evaluated to be not suitable at alcohol fermentation treated with non-steam.

The study examined the physico-chemical properties and sensory characteristics of injeolmi when sugar was substituted to sugar alcohol such as sorbitol and xylitol. The moisture content, crude protein content, crude fat content, crude ash content, energy value, redness, water activity, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness were not significantly different between the control with sugar and treatments with the sugar alcohol group (p>0.05). The lowest sugar content of injeolmi was observed in the treatment with sorbitol (T1). The adhesiveness of control was higher than that in treatment with sugar alcohol (p<0.05), but control had the lowest springiness (p<0.05). Although the sensory characteristics on color, flavor, tenderness did not show any statistical significance, the sweetness and the overall acceptability were the best in control and T5 group, which replaced sugar to 100% xylitol (p<0.05). The results of this study show that substitution by xylitol improved quality characteristics in injeolmi.

Functional relationship between the Fermentation characteristics of Functional relationship between the Fermentation characteristics of S. cerevisiae SIV-89 and the fermentation time was investigated. According to the increase in the initial sugar cone. from 50g/L to 80 g/L, maximum specific growth rate and maximum specific alcohol production rate were increased until 0.35 and 1.98. But the two values were decreased with increase of initial sugar cone. in the region of more that 80 g/L. Maximum alcohol yield and biomass yield were 0.45 and 0.15 respectively. However those vlaue were found to be reduced with the argument of initial sugar concentration. Sugar conversion was decreased with sugar concentration. When the sugar concentration was more than 190 g/L, the conversion was dropped below 70%. The increase of alcohol concentration in the fermentation broth induced the phenomenon of decline of metabolism. In case of more than 80 g/L of alcohol conc., biomass growth and alcohol production were completely stopped regardless of remaining sugar concentration.

Alcohol fermentation was carried out by using the yeast (S. cerevisiae) and soybean whey as the sole carbon source. The whey was gained form waste after manufacturing of soybean curd. The whey contained approximately one gram sugar per hundred mililter and the sugar was consisted of a 65 per cent of reducing sugar. However, it showed a low protein content of 43mg per the same volume. Ammonium sulfate showed the best effect on the generation of carbon dioxide among three kinds of tested nitrogen sourogen sources, potassium nitrate, urea and ammonium sulfate. Thus, fermentation was carried out with supplement of 2.0g ammonium sulfate to one liter of soybean whey. During fermentation continued for 48 hours, the maximum amount of ethanol 1.86g was produced from one liter of soybean whey. The ethanol fermentation utilized 81 and 94% of its initial sugar and protein contents, respectively.
