This study was conducted to investigate the detoxification effect of extract from soy-sprout grown using high concentrated oxygen water extract (SE) against alcohol-induced hangover in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The rats were orally administered with different concentrations of SE beverage [26, 260 and 2,000 mg/kg body weight (b.w.)] and, after 30 min, with alcohol at a dose of 3 g/kg b.w. After 1 and 3 h of alcohol administration, blood was collected from the retro-orbital plexus, while after 5 h, blood was collected from the heart. In the 2,000 mg/kg b.w. SE group, the concentration of blood alcohol was significantly reduced after 1-5 h of alcohol loading as compared with that in the other groups. In addition, the blood acetaldehyde concentration was reduced by SE (2,000 mg/kg b.w.). These results suggest that SE beverage can alleviate alcohol hangover symptoms by stimulating the activities related to hepatic alcohol-metabolizing enzymes.

This study was conducted to investigate the eliminatory effect of health drink containing Hovenia dulcis Thunb extract on ethanol-induced hangover in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing $200{\pm}10\;g$ were given health drink (10 mL/kg) or other company product(10 mL/kg) 30 min before or after 40% ethanol (5 g/kg body weight) ingestion. To study the effect of health drink on blood ethanol concentration, blood was taken from caudal artery at 1, 3, 5 hr and the animal were sacrificed 24 hr after ethanol ingestion. From 1 to 5 hr, health drink pre- or postdosing significantly decreased the ethanol levels in the blood. The acetaldehyde concentration showed decrement in health drink group and other company product group. The activities of ethanol, alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase measured at postdosing, were also not altered by the administration of health drink. Alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities showed unaltered resulted in all experimental groups compared with the normal group. These results suggest that oral intake of health drink containing Hovenia dulcis Thunb is effective on elimination of ethanol-induced hangover.

A fermented alcoholic beverage made from Sikhae, a Korean traditional fermented rice beverage, has been developed using a dextran producing isolate from Kimchi and Takju yeast. When both of yeast and the isolate inoculated for fermented beverage production it produced around 4% (w/v) ethanol and oligosaccharides during fermentation. Inoculation of Takju yeast and the dextran producing isolate showed a similar fermentation profile with case of yeast inoculation only, but the rate of sucrose use was slower than the case of yeast only. TLC analysis showed that oligosaccharides were produced during the fermentation of Takju yeast and the isolate from Kimchi. Therefore, it is possible to produce a functional fermented beverage by modification of dextran fermentation.

In order to measure alcohol contents with speed and accuracy, alcohol sensor was prepared. Alcohol sensor was made by connecting with oxygen electrode after immobilized alcohol oxidase on nylon net with glutaraldehyde. Alcohol was determined by changing the rate of dissolved oxygen consumption using D.O. analyzer. Alcohol contents in alcoholic beverages were determined under the optimum conditions. The results were 0.71% in low-alcohol beverage, $4{\sim}5%$ in beers, 10.06% in wine, 16.12% in chungju, 25.71% in soju, and 6.18% in takju, respectively. The values by alcohol sensor showed an excellent correlation(r=0.999) with GC method.

This study has been carried out to investigate the effect of the beverage contained Radix puerariae (15%) and Bambusae caules in Liquamen Phyllostachyos (1%) on the alcohol administered mouse. The control group was treated with alcohol (40% alcohol, 8.0 mL/kg of body weight), experimental group 1 (Exp.1) was administered with beverage (8.0 mL/kg of body weight) before alcohol treatment, and experimental group 2 (Exp.2) was administered with beverage after alcohol treatment. Blood alcohol concentrations were decreased by 11% (in Exp. 1) and 17% (in Exp. 2) compared with control group. The concentrations of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were slightly increased in Exp. 1 and Exp.2, but alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were not changed compared with control group. Mn-Superoxide dismutase activity was increased by about 70% in the experimental groups in comparison to control group. The Exp. 1 and Exp. 2 contained more periodic-acid Schiff (PAS)-positive materials than the control group. Electron microscopical observations showed that, cell organelles of hepatocytes were more disoriented in the control group than in Exp. 1 and Exp. 2. These results suggest that the beverage contained Radix puerariae and Bambusae caules in Liquamen Fhyllostachyos is a safe and effective therapeutic agent for alcohol abuse.

A rapid gas chromatographic (GC) profiling method for the simultaneous analysis of volatile and nonvolatile organic acids was applied to alcoholic beverages (white wine, red wine, brandy, and beer). It involves the solid-phase extraction of organic acids using Chromosorb P as the sorbent and diethyl ether as the eluent with subsequent triethylamine treatment. The resulting triethylammonium salts of acids were directly converted to volatile tert.-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives, which were analyzed by dual-capillary column GC and GC-mass spectrometry. From the alcoholic beverages studied, more than 29 organic acids were detected. When the simplified retention infer (RI) spectra of organic acids, and the direct comparisor method between alcoholic beverages and a test sample were attempted to identify a test sample, it was quickly recognized to be a red wine with the 998 ppt match quality value.

Onions are considered to be a promising source of the alcoholic drink because they are rich in sugar, amino acids and various nutrients. To isolate strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae producing ethanol of higher concentration, 19 strains were subjected to screening. Among them, the strain producing the highest concentration of ethanol was OJ-8 strain. Onion's oder was effectively removed by treatment for 30 min with 10% (w/v) charcoal against medium and then heat treatment of onion extract for 40 min at $100^{\circ}C$. The optimum conditions for alcoholic fermentation was investigated in medium containing the onion extract. The optimal conditions for ethanol production was obtained by standing culture for 5 days at $25^{\circ}C$ with 5% inoculum volume.

과실주는 과실로 만든 모든 술을 말하지만, 현재 과실주를 대표하는 것은 와인, 즉 포도주이다. 포도주는 포도나 그 즙액을 발효해 만든 알코올음료이다. 그런데 일반 가정에서 소주와 설탕을 이용하여 포도주를 담그는 것을 흔히 볼 수 있다. 그 밖에 소주에 담아 침출하는 과실주로 매실주, 모과주, 앵두주, 무화과주, 딸기주, 산사자주, 밀감주, 유자주 등이 있다. 하지만 이런 종류의 술은 과실주가 아니고 혼성주이다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of a beverage that contained Bulnesia sarmienti(BSP, 2.5%) on rats to which alcohol was administered. The treatment of the BSP group reduced the serum alcohol concentration to 52%, compared to 47% in the positive control(PC) group. Similar pattell1s were observed in the enhancement of alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH), acetaldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH), alkaline phosphate(ALP), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), asparate aminotransferase(AST), total cholesterol(CHOL), ${\gamma}$-glutamyltrasferase(GGT), glucose(GLU), total bilirubin, and total protein(TP) in the serum. Also, in the BSP group, the lipoxidase(LPO), glutathion-S-transferase(GST), XO, catalase(CAT), and superoxide dismutase(SOD) were significantly reduced, compared to the CO and PC groups in the liver. The glutathione(GSH) activity increased in the BSP group, though. These results indicate that Bulnesia sarmienti extract can enhance alcohol metabolization activity.
