In this study, three kinds of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (KCTC 7106, 7238, 7904) were tested with respect to the ability of alcohol fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$ for 3 weeks, and S. cerevisiae KCTC 7106 was the most effective strain in alcohol fermentation with sweet persimmon. To increase the utility of sweet persimmon, the fruits stored for 1 year were used to make an alcohol beverage. It was adjusted 25% of total sugar content and allowed alcohol fermentation with shaking at 120 rpm and $30^{\circ}C$. The alcohol content of 11.6% showed at 15 days and it did not change until 25 days. The initial pH of the fermentation was near 5 then decreased to 4 within 5 days and the initial vitamin C content, 5.04 ${\mu}g/ml$, gradually decreased with fermentation periods. In the other study, the alcohol fermentation from fresh harvested persimmons showed 13% alcohol content at $20^{\circ}C$ for 30 days without agitation, while the alcohol content of the fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$ was 11.8% at 25 days and 13.4% at 35 days.

저온저장 중 품질 열화가 일어난 단감의 산업적 이용성을 증진하기 위한 감식초의 가공조건을 조사한 결과, 연화된 단감을 폐쇄하여 종초 10%와 알코올 4%를 첨가한 후 발효온도 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 2주 이내에 산도 4%이 상인 감식초가 발효되었으며, 15$^{\circ}C$에서 3주간의 숙성 조건에서 식초 고유의 향미가 형성된 반면 포도당과 초산의 첨가는 최종 제춤의 품질을 저하시키는 결과를 얻었다. 연화된 단감의 열처리 효과는 잡균에 의한 오염 가능성을 제거시킬수 있었기 때문에 품질의 안정화를 위한 필수적인 공정으로 볼 수 있었다. 종초에서 분리된 산생성 균주의 생육과 산생성능을 조사한 결과, AH-1은 발효초기에 증식한 반면 AH-2는 발효 푸기에 증식하면서 산을 생성하였다. 따라서 이런 균주들이 서로 어우러져 최종적인 감식초의 품질을 결정하는 것으로 사료되었다. 감식초의 유기산 성분은 대부분이 acetic acid로 구성되어 있었고, 그 다음은 $\beta$-galac-turonic acid였다. 그리고 tanin 함량은 시판제품에 비하여 16~44mg% 정도 적게 나타났다.

The characteristics of alcohol fermentation using sweet persimmon juice were studied in static fermentation in an effort to develop new types of functional wine. The yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCCM 12650 was selected for use in the fermentation of sweet persimmon juice. Attempts were made to modify the sweet persimmon juice in order to find suitable conditions for alcohol fermentation. The modified sweet persimmon juice (pH 4.0) that was most suitable for alcohol fermentation contained $24^{\circ}Brix$ of sugar supplemented with sucrose as a carbon source and 0.5 g/L of $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ as a nitrogen source. After 5 days of fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$, 12.8% of alcohol was produced from the modified juice and its pH was slightly decreased to 3.9. Browning of the wine was observed during storage due to the oxidation of phenolic compounds. The initial browning of 0.08% at $OD_{420}$ after fermentation increased to 0.40 during storage for 11 weeks at room temperature. The addition of $K_2S_2O_5$ was effective in delaying the browning of the wine. The browning of the wine decreased to 0.25 at $OD_{420}$ with the addition of 200 mg/L of $K_2S_2O_5$. The wine produced in this study contained some organic acids such as malic acid (6.82% g/L) and succinic acid (1.40 g/L), some minerals such as $K^+$ (947.8 mg/L) and $Mg^{2+}$ (36.4 mg/L), as well as soluble phenolics (779 mg/L of gallic acid equivalent). Schisandra fruit was added to the sweet persimmon juice during alcohol fermentation in order to improve the sour taste and flavor. The best sensory quality (taste, flavor, and color) was obtained by adding 0.5% schisandra fruit.
