A mixed Lactobacillus acidophilus and Propionibacterium freudenreichii was cultured in the $10\%$ whey broth with $0.5\%$ yeast extract for 4 days. Viable cell numbers of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Propionibacterium freudenreichii were $2.4\ties10^9$ cfu/mL after 36hr and $9.42\times10^8$ cfu/mL after 96 hr. Consumption rate of lactose during fermentation was $87.5\%$. Propionic acid was produced 18.5g/L and acetic acid was produced 4.8g/L, as a result of that, comparison of propionic acid and acetic acid was 3.8:1 Volume of white pan bread was decreased as added amount of whey was increased. Hardess of white pan bread was decresed as added amount of whey was increased. Preservation period of white pan bread with $10\%$ whey fermented product elongated 2 day compared to control.

From the same harvest of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum, Lam.), hay(H), wilted silage(WS), pressed cake hay (PCH) and pressed cake silage (PCS) were prepared. These four preserved roughages were restrictedly fed to four goats attached with rumen fistula by $4{\times}4$ Latin square design to determine the effect of different physical and chemical properties of the roughages on the ruminal acid concentrations. Each goat was given a diet at 2% of the body weight daily in dry matter basis by separating into two equal portions. Half was given at 9 AM and the other half at 5 PM. Ruminal pH was reduced to around 5.5 within 30 minutes after feeding PCS and it was recovered above 6 in 1-2 hours after feeding. By feeding WS, ruminal pH was also reduced but never fell below 6. The two hays rather increased ruminal pH after feeding. The reduction of ruminal pH in the silage feedings was due to the high lactic acid content of the silages, because the highest ruminal lactic acid concentration was observed 30 minutes after feeding when the lowest ruminal pH was attained. While the ruminal VFA concentrations became the highest 1-2 hours after feeding. The ruminal acetic acid concentration fluctuated so much that no significant tendency was observed among the four dietary treatments. The ruminal propionic acid concentration was higher in feeding silages reflecting the initial high lactic acid concentration. As the result, acetic/propionic acid ratio was lower in the silage feedings than in hay feedings. Higher ruminal butyric acid concentration was observed in WS than in others.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of duck litter in ducks fed diets containing Houttuynia cordata powder. One-day-old ducklings (Pekin) were randomly divided into two groups and fed a control or 1% H. cordata powder-containing diet for an experimental period of three weeks. The results showed that pH for 1-2 weeks and total nitrogen for 1-3 weeks in duck litter were affected by dietary treatments with 1% H. cordata powder (P < 0.05). For Volatile Fatty Acids (VFAs), there was no significant difference (P > 0.05) between ducks fed 1% H. cordata and control diets, as shown in the results for acetic acid and propionic acid in duck litter over three weeks; but, this was not the case for propionic acid at 3 weeks. The inclusion of 1% H. cordata powder in the diet had a the positive effect on increasing the total nitrogen and decreasing pH and VFAs in duck litter.

The production of free non-volatile and volatile organic acids in Kimchi during fermentations at 30, 20 and $5^{\circ}C$, were determined by gas chromatography. The order in the amount of non-volatile organic acid, soon after preparation, was malic, citric, tartaric, pyroglutamic, oxalic, lactic, succinic and ${\alpha}-ketoglutaric$ acids. The major non-volatile acids at the optimum ripening time were malic, tartaric, citric and lactic acids, and as the temperature was lowered, the amount of lactic, succinic, oxalic, pyroglutamic and fumaric acids increased, while that of malic and tartaric acids decreased. The order in the amount of volatile acids at the beginning was acetic, butyric, propionic and formic acids. Among these acids, acetic acid was significantly increased in its amount during fermentation and the Kimchi fermented at low temperature produced more acetic acid than that fermented at high temperature.

The effect of molasses addition and hot temperature on the ensiling characteristics of napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) were studied. Napier grass was harvested five times at intervals from 22 to 39 days and each harvest was divided into two equal portions. The half portion was ensiled directly and the other half was ensiled after mixing with molasses into polyethylene bag silos of 15 kg capacity. Molasses was added at the rate of 4% of fresh weight of the grass. One half of the each treatment was conserved at a room of $40^{\circ}C$ for a month and then moved to an ambient temperature room. The other half was kept at ambient temperature for the whole experimental duration. The silages were opened 3 to 7 months after ensiling. Addition of molasses enhanced lactic acid fermentation by increasing lactic acid content and reducing pH value, ammonia nitrogen and acetic, propionic and butyric acid contents of the silages in both temperature treatments. Enhanced temperature increased pH value and decreased acetic, propionic and butyric acids.

To provide a basis for the variation of fruit bodies of winter mushroom (Flammulina velutipes), the organic acid composition of its fruit bodies was investigated with several varieties of winter mushroom indifferent temperature and storage period. In the fruit bodies of winter mushroom, a total of 10 organic acids including acetic acid, butyric acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, DL-isocitric acid, L(+)lactic acid, D-malic acid, propionic acid, succinic acid, and D-tartaric acid were detected. In the most of the winter mushroom, acetic acid was the main organic acid component and fumaric acid was the least included component. Acetic acid, which is a mono-carboxyl group of organic acid, is contained in different levels according to different varieties and different storage temperature. Butyric acid is extremely variable in its quantity, depending on variety and different storage temperature. In contrast, fumaric acid, which is a dicarboxyl group of organic acid, decreased in its quantity during storage with 1.5 mg/g. Especially, ASI 4149, 4166 varieties tend to differ in their quantity. Besides, malic acid is extremely variable in its quantity according to variety and storage temperature. Citric acid, a tri-carboxyl group of organic acid, increased in its quantity according to storage period, which enables us to efficiently manage storage period. Isocitric acid is also extremely variable in its quantity according to variety, storage temperature and storage period.

Physicochemical characteristics of traditional kochujang fermented for 6 months and commercial kochujang were compared. Tested kochujang included 18 kinds of Sunchang kochujang prepared with glutinous rice, 10 kinds of Boeun kochujang prepared with barley and 17 kinds of Sachun kochujang prepared with wheat, and 10 kinds of commercial kochujang. Major free sugar was found to be glucose both in traditional and commercial kochujang. Fructose, maltose, and sucrose were also detected in small amounts. The contents of free sugars in traditional kochujang was approximately one fourth of those presented in commercial kochujang. Commercial kochujang showed the highest level of total free amino acids followed in decreasing order by Sachun, Sunchang, and Boeun kochujang. The most abundant free amino acid was serine in Sunchang kochujang and aspartic acid both in Boeun and Sachun kochujang. On the other hand, glutamic acid was the most abundant amino acid in commercial kochujang. Volatile organic acids in various kochujang were determined and acetic, propionic, butyric, and 3-methyl butanoic acids were found in traditional kochujang. However, 3-methyl butanoic arid was not found in commercial kochujang. The most abundant volatile acid was acetic acid in both tradtional and commercial kochujang. Analysis of non-volatile organic acids showed that large amounts of lactic, oxalic, and succinic acids were found in traditional and commercial kochujang. In addition to these, small amounts of itaconic, malic, malonic, and pyroglutamic acids were found in commercial kochujang.

An anaerobic acidogenic fermentation experiment was carried out in order to investigate the distribution of volatile acid products and gas generations with varing temperatures and pH values. The experiment was carried out using $1\%$ glucose as substrate and a pair of 3.5 liter vessle as bench scale batch reactors. The reactors were operated for 7 days at 25, 30 and $35^{\circ}C$ and at pH values of 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 at each temperature conditions. Major products at all experiment pH's at $35^{\circ}C$ were acetic acids and butyric acids which together composed around $90^{\circ}F$ of total product acids. At higher pH values at $35^{\circ}C$, propionic acid reached around $10\%$. At all experiment conditions, 52 to $55\%$ of generated gases comprised of hydrogen gas and 45 to $48\%$ of carbon dioxide. With temperature increase from 25 to $35^{\circ}C$, the production rate of acetic acid increased 2.9 fold, butyric acid 22 fold, hydrogen gas 2.0 fold and carbon dioxide gas 2.3 fold. Optimum reaction conditions for highest production of acetic acid and hydrogen gas was determined to be pH 5.5 at $35^{\circ}C$.
