This study was conducted to investigate the physiochemical characteristics of Cheongju prepared using different types of rice (rice and glutinous rice) according to addition rate of Nuruk during low temperature fermentation. The characteristics of Cheongju prepared using three different temperatures ($10^{\circ}C$, $18^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$) were compared. After fermentation for 30-50 days, the pH of mash prepared at lower temperature was lower, as was that of mash made from rice relative to that prepared using glutinous rice. The total acidity was formed at lower temperature and generated in mashing prepared by glutinous rice. The organic acid content of mash made from rice at $18^{\circ}C$ was lowest, while that of mash prepared from glutinous rice was lowest at $10^{\circ}C$. The fermentation speed was lowest at $10^{\circ}C$; however, low temperature fermentation resulted in the highest alcohol content. The mash prepared from glutinous rice showed faster fermentation than that made from rice. In addition, the pH was lower when lower levels of Nuruk were added and higher in mash made from glutinous rice than that prepared from rice. The lower addition rate of Nuruk also showed a lower sugar content and final alcohol content. The levels of citric acid and lactic acid were higher, while those of succinic acid, acetic acid, and ethyl acetate were lower when lower levels of Nuruk were added. The mash prepared from glutinous rice showed a higher alcohol content than that made from rice.

대두유중에서 L, acidophilus와 K. fragilis를 단독발효시키는 것 보다 혼합배양 함으로써 젖산의 생성이 촉진되었는데 균간의 어떠한 상호작용에 의하여 산의 생산이 증가되었는가를 연구하였다. 대두유와 Soywhey를 사용하였을 때의 젖산 생성속도는 L. acidophilus 단독보다는 K. fragilis 와 혼합배양하는 것이 빨랐다. 이들 균을 단독 또는 혼합배양하여 경시적으로 발효 대두유중의 당 성분을 HPLC로 분석하였다. 그 결과 L. acidophilus가 발효하기 어려운 sucrosed raffinose, stachyose를 K. fragilis가 생산하는 효소에 의하여 젖산균이 발효할 수 있는 glucose, fructose로 분해되기 때문에 혼합배양 함으로써 젖산 발효가 촉진된다는 것을 알았다.

Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize alcohol fermentation of concentrated grape juice. Sugar concentration ($X_1$), agitation rate ($X_2$) and fermentation time ($X_3$) were chosen as the independent variables of the central composite design (CCD). Dependent variables were alcohol content ($Y_1$) and total acidity ($Y_2$). To optimize two dependent variables, desirability function was defined as $Y_1$=10.0% and $Y_2$=minimum. The optimum conditions for alcohol fermentation were $19.98^{\circ}Bx$ (sugar concentration), 104.1 rpm (agitation rate) and 89.67 hr (fermentation time). The predicted responses were 10.0% in alcohol content and 0.86% in total acidity. The coefficients of determination ($R^2$) were 0.948 and 0.958, which indicate that the model fit was highly significant (p<0.001). The experimental values were 10.1% for alcohol content and 0.88% for total acidity. These values were similar to the predicted values from RSM.

Several spices in the range of $1{\sim}3%\;(w/w)$ were added during Kimchi preparation in order to investigate their effects on the chemical changes and fermentation rate. The results showed that addition of red pepper powder by 2% slightly increased the fermentation rate reaching max. value after 36 hours, while 3% addition gradually increased its rate without max. point. Generally higher reducing sugar and acidity were measured for red pepper added Kimchi. The fermentation rate and its max. point were significantly increased as more garlic added and the max. value of ascorbic acid produced was also increased. Little effects were found for Welsh onion and ginger on Kimchi fermentation.

Among various techniques for hydrogen production from organic wastewater, a dark fermentation is considered to be the most feasible process due to the rapid hydrogen production rate. However, the main drawback of it is the low hydrogen production yield due to intermediate products such as organic acids. To improve the hydrogen production yield, a co-culture system of dark and photo fermentation bacteria was applied to this research. The maximum specific growth rate of R. sphaeroides was determined to be $2.93h^{-1}$ when acetic acid was used as a carbon source. It was quite high compared to that of using a mixture of volatile fatty acids (VFAs). Acetic acid was the most attractive to the cell growth of R. sphaeroides, however, not less efficient in the hydrogen production. In the co-culture system with glucose, hydrogen could be steadily produced without any lag-phase. There were distinguishable inflection points in the accumulation of hydrogen production graph that resulted from the dynamic production of VFAs or consumption of it by the interaction between the dark and photo fermentation bacteria. Lastly, the hydrogen production rate of a repeated fed-batch run was $15.9mL-H_2/L/h$, which was achievable in the sustainable hydrogen production.

The purpose of this study is to manufacture ice cream with perilla leaves fermented extract(5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% w/v) fermented by Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC 3164 strain as functional additives. The physical and chemical properties(color, viscosity, pH, total acidity, melting rate, overrun) and antioxidant activity of ice cream with perilla leaves fermented extract were evaluated. The addition of perilla leaves fermented extract affected the color of the ice cream, and the melting rate increased with increasing addition of perilla leaves fermented extract. In contrast, viscosity showed a gradual decrease. Overrun increased gradually with higher levels of perilla leaves fermented extract, while pH decreased significantly, and total acidity increased. The DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol content of ice cream with perilla leaves fermented extract significantly increased with higher concentrations of fermented perilla leaves extract. The results of this study indicate that the ice cream sample with 10% fermented perilla leaves extract has a potential as a functional ice cream since it exhibited high overrun, a low melting rate, the desired viscosity, and high DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol content.

In order to improve the productivity of ethanol by sugar-alcohol-tolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae D1, the effect of addition of $Ca^{2+}$ on the alcohol fermentation was investigated. The addition of $Ca^{2+}$led to both the improvement of ethanol productivity and the increase of viable cell concentration. The optimal concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ was 0.8 mM. The higher was initial concentration of glucose, the greater effect of $Ca^{2+}$ was observed. Ethanol inhibition of growth, specific death rate in lethal concentration of ethanol, and extracellular final pH decreased by the addition of $Ca^{2+}$. The effect of $Ca^{2+}$ supplementation was explained by the increase of its ethanol tolerance.

Semicontinuous alcohol fermentation of Jerusalem Artichoke by K. fragilis CBS 1555 was performed to investigate the effect of the effective dilution rate and influent sugar concentration to the ethanol concentration and alcohol productivity at steady state. When the time interval for the replacement of fresh influent with fermentation broth was less than or equal to 1 hr, the effective dilution rate was found out to be equal to the specific growth rate. Wash out was not occurred until the effective dilution rate, 0.425 hr-1, and the maximum alcohol productivity was around 5.5 g/1·hr. In this case, the effective dilution rate was 0.25 hr-1 and the influent sugar concentration was distributed from 85 g/l to 135 g/1.

In order to investigate utilization possibility of persimmon peel as a source of vinegar, we had been examined the alcohol and acetic acid fermentations of persimmon peel. In the first stage, alcohol fermentation, alcohol content was maximum value (8.22%) in 12.43 mL/g of added water, $12.41^{\circ}Brix$ of initial sugar content and 48.05 hr of fermentation time. Acidity was minimum value (0.30%) in 12.18 mL/g of added water, $13.72^{\circ}Brix$ of initial sugar content and 46.22 hr of fermentation time. In the second stage, acetic acid fermentation, acidity was maximum value (6.40%) in 2.02% of initial acidity, 67.98 rpm of agitation rate and 6.94 day of fermentation time. Browning color was minimum value in 1.50% of initial acidity, 150.0 rpm of agitation rate and 6.0 day of fermentation time. To manufacture persimmon vinegar using persimmon peel, in the first stage, optimal alcohol fermentation conditions was 12mL/g in added water, $12^{\circ}Brix$ in initial sugar concentration and 48 hr in fermentation time. In the second stage, optimal acetic acid fermentation conditions was 1.8% in initial acidity, 70 rpm in agitation rate and 6 day in fermentation time using Acetobacter sp. PA97.

The alcohol fermentation using glucose and lactose was carried out to study the effect of fermentation temperature on the ethanol tolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae STV89 and Kluyveromyces fragilis CBS397. The maximum specific growth rate and ethanol production rate were increased up to 35$^{\circ}C$ with the fermentation temperature, although maximum ethanol and cell concentration were decreased by increasing the fermentation temperature. The cell viability was also improved by lowering the fermentation temperature. Under the experimental conditions, the best ethanol tolerance of yeast strains was obtain at $25^{\circ}C$. The ethanol tolerance of S. cerevisiae is better than that of K. fragilis at the same fermentation condition. With respect to the carbon source, glucose is found to be more favorable for ethanol tolerance of K. fragilis than lactos.
