A study was carried out to get the basic information about the brewing of spirit vineger from medium containing mandarin orange peel, and the results obtained were as follows. 1. The yield of peel to fruit was 29.0%. 2. The optimum concentration of peel extract for the acetic acid fermentation medium was about 25%. 3. Acetic fermentation was inhibited when the peel extract content of medium was over 70%. Also the maximum acidity of the medium which contained 90% of peel extract was declined up to 1% comparing to the medium contained 25% of peel extract. 4. In the acetic acid fermentation of medium containing 25% of orange peel extract under the aerobic condition, the average rate of acetic acid production was 0.062g/100ml. hr. and the rate of acetic acid production in log phase was 0.15g/100ml. hr. also the yield of product based on acetification was 91.4% 5. Oxalate, pyruvate, malate was detected in acetic acid fermentation medium. 6. The quality of vineger made from medium containing 25% of orange peel extract was good.

Several domestic new varieties of grapes were utilized for the fermentation of wines, including Cabernet Sauvignon, NY 21576, Canner, SV 18315, Agawan, and Black Bagal red wines, and Naples, Aligote, and Alicante white wines. The oBx values of the grapes ranged between 17 and $20^{\circ}Bx$. Soluble solid content was adjusted to $21^{\circ}Bx$ by adding sugar for all grapes and fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for 2 weeks. Black Bagal and Cabernet Sauvignon were relatively slower than other grapes with regard to alcohol production rate. The L value of wine made from Agawan and NY 21576 were lower and darker than those of wines prepared from other grapes. Wine made from NY 21576 grapes had a polyphenol concentration of 1.40 mg/mL, which was higher than that of any other wine, whereas wines made from MBA and all white wines evidenced value of only 0.55 mg/mL and 0.15 mg/mL, respectively, after 2 weeks of fermentation. The sensory evaluations demonstrated that the quality of red wines made from NY 21576, Cabernet Sauvignon, Black Bagal, and that of white wines made from Naples grapes were favorable among the different grape variants.

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of turnip Donchimi prepared with Chinese(DC), Korean(DK) and European origin(DE) were analyzed during fermentation at $0^{\circ}C$. Salt concentrations of Dongchimi liquid were around 1.3% during fermentation. The pH, the total acidity, Lactobacilli number and turbidity were observed during fermentation of Dongchmi. DC was fermented the most rapidly among three based on the acidity, turbidity and lactic acid bacteria number. DC maintained higher hardness in textural properties during fermentation compared to DE, although it was evaluated lower scores of appearance in sensory test, and less Hunter color a value and anthocyanin content, compared to DK or DE. DK showed the highest in anthocyanin content, Hunter color a value, and hardness. Sensory evaluation showed that the scores of color, hardness, and overall preference of Donchimi were high in the order of DK>DC>DE. Score of overall preference of turnip Dongchimi was the highest with 6.7(10 cm line scale) in DK at the 40th day of fermentation, the optimum ripening time, but the lowest with 3.5 in DE.

Development of an effective method for the preparation of dongchimi juice was investigated by addition of NaCl, sucrose and hydrolytic enzymes before fermentation and addition of dongchimi juice during fermentation. The Chinese radish was ground and suspended in water (1:1, w/v) with addition of spices of garlic, green onion and ginger followed by fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$. Increase in NaCl concentration of brinning solution from 1.0 to 5.0% resulted in a significant decrease in the rates of pH decrease and acidity increase. The sugar addition resulted in a faster changes of them, particulary after 24 hours at $25^{\circ}C$. The fermentation rate was also greatly improved by enzymatic hydrolysis with using viscozyme, a commercial polysaccharides hydrolyzing enzyme, before fermentation. When the fermented juices of two stage (pH 5.4 and pH 4.4) were added up to 15% before (pH 5.4 juice) and during (pH 4.4 juice) fermentation, the initial and second stage of fermentation were significantly improved. Therefore a method of addition of sugar, hydrolytic enzymes and dongchimi juice before or during fermentation was suggested for dongchimi juice preparation.

Several methods to produce ethanol from tapioca starch were examined. Among four methods tested, alcohol fermentation with extruded tapioca starch was the most effective, which alcohol yield was 460.5 f/ton. After 69hours reaction with Rhizopus sp. glucoamylase, 108.7mg/$m\ell$ of reducing sugar were produced from extruded tapioca and 43.8mg/$m\ell$ from raw tapioca starch. In alcohol fermentation with extruded tapioca, the high concentration of alcohol at early stage prevented bacterial contamination and the fermentation rate was increased due to the high saccharifying power of glucoamylase on the extruded starch, but extrusion temperature had no influence on the fermentability, Scanning electron microscopy showed that the extrusion process changed the structure of tapioca starch granule to more susceptible form to glucoamylase attack than the raw starch. And glucoamylase of Rhizopus sp. had stronger digestion activity on both extruded tapioca and raw tapioca starch than that of Aspergillus usamii.

Sodium gluconate was produced by neutralization of gluconic acid formed during the submerged culture fermentation of glucose with Aspergillus niger ACM 7. The fermentation characteristics of Aspergillus niger ACM 7 were investigated quantitatively according to the change of the initial glucose concentrations and the initial pHs of fermentation broth. The maximum specific growth rate was estimated to be $0.20hr^{-1}$ at 95g/$\ell$ of initial glucose concentration. The maximum fermentability of sodium gluconate was 95% at the initial glucose concentration of 26g/$\ell$. However, the maximum sodium gluconate productivity was 1.18g/$\ell$/hr when the initial glucose concentration was 110g/$\ell$. The optimum pH was found to be 5.5 for both the cell growth and the sodium gluconate production. With optimized culture conditions, the productivity of sodium gluconate in a fed-batch culture(production fermentor, 16,000$\ell$) increased up to 7.1g/$\ell$/hr.

For the probiotic feed production from residual food waste by using the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus, aerobic liquid fermentation was attempted at $35^{\circ}C$. After grinding finely, optimal fermentation conditions of the substrate was investigated in shaking incubator. By controlling water content yeast growth was studied at each different solid content of 5, 10 and 15% respectively. The most active growth of the yeast was shown at 10%. For the stimulation of the cell growth, mixed culture with Aspersillus oryzae was conducted in a 2 litre-jar fermenter. As the results, the yeast growth rate was increased, but the maximum viable cell count amounted was slightly higher as $3.5{\times}10^9/ml$ than single culture.

To reduce the salt content of Korean traditional kochujang, horseradish and mustard powder (1.2%) were added to kochujang ingredients with $4{\sim}6%$ of sodium chloride, and their physicochemical characteristics were monitored with those of the control (10% salt added) during fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$ for 120 days. The pH of kochujang gradually decreased and acidities increased at low-salt concentration. The salt lowered the acid production in proportion to the salt concentration. The amino-type nitrogen in kochujang increased during fermentation at higher proportion with lower salt concentration. Free amino acids showed the same trend as amino-type nitrogen, and their major amino acids were in order of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and serine. Kochujang containing horseradish or mustard showed superior qualuty than the control, and 6% of salt was the acceptable level for low-salt kochujang preparation.

The growth and fermentation profiles of Clostridium acetobutylicum KCTC 1037 were examined in batch and continuous modes with pH variation and phosphate limitation. Clostridium acetobutylicum KCTC 10 37 grew better at pH 4.5 than at pH 5.5 or 6.5. Acetate and butyrate were produced at pH 5.5, whereas culture at pH 4.5 produced acetone and butanol. Solvent production was increased by the phosphate limitation in a batch culture, but in a phosphate-limited continuous culture for 400 hours steady-state solventogenesis was not observed. The induction and maintenance of solventogenesis presumably require not only acidic condition or phosphate limitation but also favourable bioenergetic condition.

This study was carried out to investigate the physiochemical and microbiological changes of dandelion during fermentation. Thirty and fifty percentage raw sugar groups (SFE30 and SFE50) were introduced into dandelions and fermented for 120 days at $15-20^{\circ}C$. This study was conducted to investigate the utilization of sucrose on lactic acid bacteria from dandelions and their effect on the pH, titratable acidity, microorganism and formation of organic acids in dandelions during fermentation. The number of lactic acid bacteria increased remarkably up to 15 days of fermentation and then decreased rapidly thereafter. The maximum number of lactic acid bacteria, 7.9 log CFU/mL was reached at pH 4.17 and the pH of dandelion showed a slight decrease during fermentation and decreased steadily up to 90 days to reach an optimum pH of 4.0. The titratable acidity of dandelions fermented increased during fermentation. The concentration of organic acid, amino acid and free sugar in SFE30 was higher than both SFE50 and DWE. The results of dandelions fermented were remarkably retarded in the 50% raw sugar group compared to the 30% raw sugar group.
