The objective of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of traditional wine using an radio-frequency identification (RFID) system annexed to a fermenter. In this study, we proposed an RFID-based data transmission scheme for monitoring fermentation of traditional alcoholic beverages. The pH, total acidity, total sugar, soluble sugar, free sugar, alcohol content, and organic acids of were investigated and subjected to fermentation of traditional alcoholic beverages three times. The pH ranged from 7.98, 7.95, and 7.68 at day 0, decreased drastically to 3.31~2.96 at day 2, and then slowly increased to the end point, finally reaching 3.34 at day 20. Acidity tended to increase quickly with time, especially for all samples after day 2. The fermentation environment induced a sudden increase acidity in reactants and indicated a low pH. The total sugars during fermentation quickly decreased to the range of 20.3, 22.43, and 19.2% at day 2, and the slope of reduction steadily decreased to 5.1, 6.1, and 4.8% at day 10. On the other hand, the alcohol content showed the reverse trend as total sugars. The alcohol content also showed the same pattern as total acids, showing the highest alcohol content of 17.3% (v/v) on day 20. In this study on traditional wine fermentation using an RFID system, we showed that pH, soluble sugar, and alcohol content can be adopted as key indicators for quality control and standardization of traditional wine manufacturing.

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical and functional properties of Gochujang in the presence of fermented tomato products. To accomplish this aim, tomatoes were fermented using Bacillus subtilis SRCM100333, and the products were used with Gochujang. As a control, non-fermented tomato liquid was used with Gochujang. There were no significant differences in quality characteristics except for amino nitrogen in Gochujang. The functional properties of tomato liquid (TL), fermented tomato product (FTP), Gochujang made with tomato liquid (TLG), and Gochujang made with fermented tomato products (FTG) were investigated. There were significant differences in the pancreatic lipase inhibition (PLI) and superoxide scavenging activity between FTP (87% and 28%, respectively) and TL (77% and 14%, respectively). Nitric oxide scavenging activity of FTG (52%) was higher than that of other groups (TL, FTP, and TLG). Overall, the results indicate that the fermented tomato can be used to develop functional Gochujang.

Yakju, a Korean traditional alcoholic beverage, is made from rice and Nuruk. In this study, the fermentation characteristics of Yakju was investigated using rice and rice starch. Ingredients was classified into raw material (rice, rice starch) and starter (enzyme supplements, modified Nuruk, traditional Nuruk, and yellow rice koji) for fermentation. The crude protein content of rice, rice starch, and starter were determined as follows (%): rice 6.69, rice starch 0.44, enzyme supplements 7.84, modified Nuruk 15.29, traditional Nuruk 14.28, and yellow rice koji 7.28. The alcohol content of rice with traditional Nuruk ($20.13{\pm}0.12%$) was higher than other Yakju. The concentration of organic acids of rice starch-based Yakju (389.83~538.34 mg%) was higher than that of rice Yakju (259.27~357.70 mg%). The concentration of nitrogen compound of rice Yakju (498.38~5976.93 ppm) was higher than that of rice starch-based Yakju (600.43~4463.79 ppm). In line with these findings, further studies will be necessary for the quality analysis of the rice, rice starch and fermented starter (enzyme supplements, modified Nuruk, traditional Nuruk and yellow rice koji).

To develop a functional fermentation food from Rubus coreanus Miquel (Bokbunja) and chlorella mixtures, optimal lactic acid fermentation conditions were established, and quality properties based on physicochemical evaluation such as chemical compositions, free sugars, organic acids, and antibacterial activities were investigated. Regarding optimal fermentation strain selection, formation of lactic acid was best in Lactobacillus plantarum among the experimental strains (10 kinds), and the optimal fermentation temperature was $37^{\circ}C$. In addition, overall acceptability in the sensory evaluation was highest in the 5% chlorella mixture sample. Therefore, quality properties of the prepared sample under the established optimal fermentation conditions were investigated. Moisture, total sugar (dry basis), crude fiber (dry basis), and pH of fermented Rubus coreanus Miquel juice (RCM) with 5% chlorella mixture (RCM-C5) were reduced by 4.90%, 14.15%, and 0.32%, respectively, as compared with non-fermented RCM. Meanwhile, crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash (dry basis) of RCM-C5 were elevated by 13.75%, 0.18%, and 0.73%, respectively, as compared with RCM. The yellowness (b value) of color values was greater in RCM-C5 compared to RCM. The free sugar and organic acid contents of RCM-C5 were elevated by 0.97% and 616.30 mg%, respectively, as compared with RCM. In addition, the gram positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus was elevated by 5.83% while gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium were elevated by 2.94% and 4.67%, respectively, as compared with RCM. In conclusion, the quality properties of RCM and chlorella lactic acid fermentation mixtures were improved compared with the general RCM product. Consequently, it is possible to apply fermented RCM as a functional fermentation food.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of fermented diets including liquid by-products on nutrient digestibility and nitrogen balance in growing pigs. Treatments were 1) CON (basal diet), 2) F (fermented diet with basal diet), 3) KF (fermented diet with basal diet including 30% kale pomace), 4) AF (fermented diet with basal diet including 30% angelica keiskei pomace), 5) CF (fermented diet with basal diet including 30% carrot pomace) and 6) OF (fermented diet with basal diet including 30% grape pomace). A total of 24 pigs (41.74kg average initial body weight, Landrace $\times$ Yorkshire $\times$ Duroc), were assigned to 6 treatments, 4 replicates and 1 pig per metabolic cage in a randomized complete block (RCB) design. Pigs were housed in $0.5\times1.3m$ metabolic cage in a 17d digestibility trial. During the entire experimental period, Digestibility of dry matter (p<0.05) of treatment CON, F and CF were higher than other treatments. In crude protein digestibility, treatment F was higher than treatment AF and GF (p<0.05). Treatment GF showed the lowest digestibility of crude fiber among all treatments (p<0.05). In ether extract digestibility, treatment AF and CF showed higher than other treatments (p<0.05) except KF treatment. CF treatment showed the best digestibility of ash among all treatments (p<0.05). Whereas, For Ca and P digestibility, CF and OF treatments were improved than other treatments (p<0.05). Energy digestibility (p<0.05) of CON, F and CF treatments were higher than KF, AF and GF treatments. In total essential amino acid digestibility, F treatment was improved than AF, CF and GF treatments (p<0.05). In total non-essential amino acid digestibility, F treatment was higher than CON, AF and GF treatments (p<0.05). In total amino acid digestibility, F treatment was higher than AF and CF treatments (p<0.05) and GF treatment showed the lowest digestibility (p<0.05). In fecal nitrogen excretion ratio, GF treatment was greatest among all treatments (p<0.05) and F treatment was decreased than other treatments (p<0.05). In urinary nitrogen excretion ratio, CON and GF treatments showed the lowest among all treatments (p<0.05). In nitrogen retention ratio, CON treatment showed the high and KF treatment showed the lost among all treatments (p<0.05). Therefore, this experiment suggested that fermented diet could improve nutrient and amino acid digestibilities of growing pigs.

Medium optimization for ${\beta}$-mannanase production by Aspergillus oryzae ATCC 2114 was performed. Effect of carbon source (locust bean gum) concentration on ${\beta}$-mannanase production was investigated. Above 20 g/L locust bean gum, a lag time for ${\beta}$-mannanase production was appeared because high concentration of locust bean gum caused high viscosity which made the mixing of medium poor. As the locust bean gum concentration in the medium increased, ${\beta}$-mannanase activity and cell growth increased proportionally. Effect of various nitrogen sources on ${\beta}$-mannanase production was also studied. (NH4)2SO4 and malt extract were the most effective for ${\beta}$-mannanase production among the inorganic nitrogenous compounds and organic nitrogen nutrients. Inorganic compounds such as KH2SO4, NaCl, Na2CO3, and MgSO4, on ${\beta}$-mannanase production were optimized for ${\beta}$-mannanase production. Locust bean gum of 10 g/L, malt extract of 3 g/L, (NH4)2SO4 of 2 g/L, KH2SO4, of 10 g/L were selected as the optimal medium. Culture in a fermentor by using the optimal medium was carried out. Lag time of ${\beta}$-mannanase production was shorter due to the better mixing of the fermentor. The maximum ${\beta}$- mannanase activity of 9.7 unit/mL and specific ${\beta}$-mannanase activity of 1.9 unit/mg-cell could be obtained at 27 hours and the productivity of ${\beta}$-mannanase was 0.36 unit/mL$.$h.

Twenty four Hanwoo steers(average body weight=550.4±42.8kg) were used in the experiment to determine the effects of supplementing coated vitamin C+E with cottonseed on meat quality, meat color and carcass grade in Hanwoo steers fed brewers grain and cracked corn-based fermented feedstuff. Steers were randomly assigned to feeding groups of fermented feedstuff without any supplements(T1) and fermented feedstuff supplemented with coated vitamin C+E and cottonseed(T2). Ether extract content of longissimus dorsi was higher in T2 than in T1(p<0.05). Yellowness and hue-angle among surface colors of longissimus dorsi was lower(p<0.05) in T2 than in T1 but lightness was higher(p<0.05) in T2 than in T1. Ratio of yield grade ‘A’ was higher from T2 group than from T1 group. Marbling score was higher in T2 than in T1(p<0.05). Present results indicate that supplementation of coated vitamin C+E and cottonseed to brewers grain and cracked corn-based fermented feedstuff has positive effects on ether extract content, color, marbling score of longissimus dorsi in Hanwoo steers.
