In order to investigate the characteristics of alcohol fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, compositions and free sugar content of dried riped pumpkin powder were determined. The proximate compositions of ripe pumpkin powder were as follows: moisture 11.98%, total sugar 62.18%(dried weight basis 70.64%), protein 13.38%, lipid 0.85%, fiber 7.07% and ash 4.54%. The compositions of free sugar in well ripe pumpkin were: glucese 85.36mg/g, fructose 40.68mg/g, sucrose 68.25mg/g, lactose 18.60mg/g and maltose 3.82mg/g. The optimum conditions for alcohol fermentation by S. cerevisiae were as follows; incubation temperature of 3$0^{\circ}C$, initial pH of 6.0, ripe pumpkin powder concentration of 10% and cells inoculation of 1.3$\times$$10^{6}$ cells/ml liquid medium. Ethanol production under the optimum conditions was 5.95g/100g in liquid medium containing 10% ripe pumpkin powder after 4 days incubation.

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.

Effect of mannose on auxin-induced ethylene production in corn (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles was studied. Auxin induced ethylene production decreased in proportion to mannose concentrations. The inhibitory effect of mannose appeared after 2 h of incubation. Ethylene production was significantly depressed by mannose at high concentration (10-5M-10-4M) of indole acetic acid (IAA), but not at low concentrations (10-8M-10-6M). The inhibition of auxin-induced ethylene production by mannose was specific, since other sugars such as galactose, glucose, sucrose and mannitol did not have an inhibitory effect. In an effort to elucidate mechanisms of mannose the effect on the auxin induced ethylene production, effect of the sugar on ACC synthase activity and ACC induced ethylene production was studied. Mannose failed to inhibit ACC mediated ethylene production, but decreased both the ACC content and ACC synthase activity in the tissue. These results suggest that the inhibitory effect of mannose on auxin induced ethylene production results from suppression of auxin induction of ACC synthase.

Factors affecting the production of bacterial cellulose and organic acids in Kombucha fermentation were investigated. Kombucha was obtained by the fermentation (for 12 days at 3$0^{\circ}C$) of the green/black tea extract, supplemented with 10% white sugar, using an Oriental tea fungus as starter. Hitgher initial pH increased acid production with decreased cellulose production. With a cellulose pellicle or tea fungus broth as a starter, a 1~3 mm thick cellulose layer developed as a top layer every four days, and was removed subsequently while continuing fermentation. Addition of 30 mL tea fungus broth (13%, v/v) in Kombucha fermentation resulted in maximum production of a cellulose pellicle, indicating weak acid production. Yield of cellulose production at an early stage of fermentation was also higher when Kombucha was inoculated with a cellulose pellicle. In fact, addition of 1% (v/v) alcoholic beverage in the Kombucha fermentation activated the cellulose production, coupled with four times higher acid production.

The annual income (gross margin) in 1989/90 of a sample of 274 farmers in seven milk cooperatives was analyzed in the sugar cane, cassava, and horticulture areas in East Java. On average dairying contributed 42%, crops 29% and off-farm revenue 29%. Dairy income was highest in the cassava area, where it compensated for the low crop income, and lowest in the sugar cane area. Farm area and average milk yield per day per cow correlated positively with farmer's income, whereas crop income increase significantly with farm area and with the number of cows. The level of total cost per cow had a negative impact on dairy and with the number of cows. The level of total cost per cow had a negative impact on dairy and on total income. Government officials and other professionals engaged in dairying had a significantly higher total income than those with their main occupation in dairying, cropping or working as farm labourers. Uneducated farmers obtained a significantly larger income through crops, whereas farmers with tertiary education obtained more income through off-farm work, This study suggests that more attention must be paid to the actual use of labour and the improvement of the dairy output/cost ratio.

Optimization of initial total sugar concentration of sweet sorghum juice, aeration time and aeration rate on ethanol production was performed by response surface methodology (RSM). The optimum conditions for ethanol production from concentrated sweet sorghum juice were determined as follows: initial total sugar concentration, 21.2 Brix; aeration time, 7.66h; aeration rate, 1.22 vvm. At the optimum conditions, the maximum ethanol yield was predicted to be 91.65% by model prediction. Similarly, 92.98% of ethanol yield was obtained by verification experiment using optimum conditions after 48 h of fermentation. This result was in agreement with the model prediction.

Studies on the optimum conditions of acid hydrolysis of sweet potato starch cake and its utilization on the production of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a carbon source were conducted and the results showed as follows; 1.The highest hydrolysis rate, 62.7 ％ of the reducing sugar based on the weight of the dry matter, was obtained when the starch cake was hydrolyzed with 1.0％ of hydrochloric acid at 2.0 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for 30 minutes. 2. But the yeast grew most favorably on the hydrolyzate obtained by treating the starch cake with 0.5％ of hydrochloric acid at 2.0 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for 10 minutes. Reducing sugar content of hydrolyzate was 51.4％. 3. The optimum pH of the culture medium was 7.0, Cell growth reached to the maximum at 36 hours of cultivation time. 4. According to the vitamin requirement tests, Ca-pantothenate was found to be a promoting factor for the growth of the yeast cells. 5. "Gluten acid hydrolyzate" was most effective to the cell growth when added to the medium at the concentration of 0.1％ as a nitrogen source. 6. Sacch. cerevisiae could assimilate the sugars in the hydrolyzate about 89.1％, and the yields of the yeast cells showed 23.2mg/ml of culture medium.

The efficiency of microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis of seaweeds for the production of ethanol was investigated and its effect on hydrolysis into reducing sugar and fermentation into ethanol evaluated as compared with those by conventional heating. A brown seaweed, Laminaria japonica (10-100g/L) was hydrolysed under dilute acidic condition (0.5N $H_2SO_4$, $100^{\circ}C$) with two sorts of heating: microwave irradiation for ${\leq}10min$ and conventional heating for 10-60min. Microwave-assisted hydrolysis was shown to be more efficient. A similar range of reducing sugar and ethanol yields as with the conventional autoclave heating procedure(${\geq}30min$) was observed, but it was obvious that production of ethanol from microwave-assisted hydrolysis had a 3 times faster reaction rate leading to very short production times, lower energy consumption/loss than from the conventional heating mode, and higher biomass loading without significant reducing ethanol yield, thus microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis is a potential alternative method for more effective hydrolysis of Laminaria japonica.

A downstream process was developed for the production of yeast extract from brewer's yeast cells. Various downstream processing conditions including clarification, debittering, and the Maillard reaction were considered in the development of the process. This simple and economic clarification process used flocculating agents, specifically calcium chloride ($1\%$). After the clarification step, a Maillard reaction is initiated as a flavor-enhancing step. By investigating the effects of several operation parameters, including the type of sugar added, sugar dosage, glycine addition, and temperature, on the degree of browning (DB), giucose addition and reaction temperature were found to have significant effects on DB. A synthetic adsorption resin (HP20) was used for the debittering process, which induced a compositional change of the hydrophobic amino acids in the yeast hydrolysate, thereby reducing the bitter taste. The overall dry matter yield and protein yield for the entire process, including the downstream process proposed for the production of brewer's yeast extract were 50 and $50\%$, respectively.

An extracellular pigment production of three Phellinus sp. (Phellinus 421, P. linteus and P. hartigil) through submerged cultivation was investigated. The maximum brown pigment from culture broth was obtained from the precipitate by addition of 10% 1M HCI solution. This precipitate showed absorption characteristics with ${\lambda}_{max}$ of 360nm. The maximum production of extracellular pigment obtained at optimum medium and culture condition was 3.54 ($A_{360}$). The precipitate was fractionated by Sephadex G-75 gel chromatography, and the isolated brown pigment contained a large amount of polyphenol and the small amounts of sugar and protein. The brown pigment fraction was stable in temperature range of $30{\sim}60^{\circ}C$, pH range of $4{\sim}6$, sugar addition ranges of $1{\sim}5%$ and salt addition concentration of 3 molarity. Antioxidative activity of the brown pigment by TBA method was better than that of vitamin E (${\alpha}$-tocopherol).
