Yeast with excellent ferment ability was isolated and selected from wild grape to manufacture wild grape wine. Wild grape wine by SMR-3 isolated from wild grape was better than other strains in quality, such as high alcohol content and low acidity, residual sugar, organic acid and fusel oil content. Fermentation condition was optimized to manufacture wild grape wine with response surface methodology using isolated SMR-3 as an alcohol fermentation strain. As a result of culture conditions, 10.61% of alcohol content was expected under the conditions of $21.91^{\circ}C$ fermenting temperature, $21.48^{\circ}brix$ of initial sugar content, and 14.65 day of fermentation time. Residual sugar content showed the lowest value at $24.48^{\circ}C$ fermentation temperature, $12.78^{\circ}brix$ of initial sugar content, and 9.02 day fermentation time. The highest level of sensory evaluation was found at $20.23^{\circ}C$ fermentation temperature, $25.30^{\circ}brix$ of initial sugar content, and 5.94 day fermentation time. Ethyl alcohol was the main alcohol component in wild grape wine and fusel oil in wild grape wine was hardly detected; thus, the quality of wild grape wine was considered excellent. The optimal fermentation conditions of wild grape wine was superimposed by deriving a regression equation for alcohol content, fusel oil, ethyl alcohol content, and overall palatability for each variable of wild grape wine. Hence, the optimal fermentation conditions are estimated to be: fermentation temperature $24{\sim}28^{\circ}C$, initial sugar content $20{\sim}24^{\circ}brix$, and fermenting time $12{\sim}14$ days.

In each nuruk using today, effect of pH on glucoamylase activity and viable cell count of yeast and bacteria was measured. Common components during fermentation, alcohol, acetaldehyde and acetone, amino acid composition, and total sugars and mineral content were determined in yakju(korean wine) brewed from different ingredients and by different methods. Results are summarized as follows ; 1. The lower the pH, the lower the glucoamylase activity in JK, BK, JK-S BK-S and JN. But the higher the glucoamylase activity ratio in Koji and KN. 2. Yeast and bacteria cell count could not determined in nuruk inoculated of seed. In JK, BK and JN, yeast cell count was 50${\times}$104∼80${\times}$104, bacteria cell count was 5${\times}$106∼24${\times}$106. 3. In yakju during fermentation, pH was higher in RU, total acidity content was higher in ST-N, ST-K, RU and ST-RUPO and alcohol content was lower in RUPO and ST-RUPO. 4. Ethanol and acetaldehyde content were highest in dukyunju. Trace amount of acetone was determined only in ST-K, RUPO and ST-RUPO . n-Propyl alcohol content was higher in ST-K, ST-RUPO and ST-N, iso-butyl alcohol content was higher in L-RUPO, Dukyunju and Songyupju and iso-amyl alcohol content was higher in Songyupju, RU, L-RUPO and Dukyunju. 5. In amino acids composition of each yakju, Pro, Ala and Val content was higher than other amino acids. Total amino acids content was the highest in Dukyunju and second highest in ST-N, NH3 was higher in ST-N, Dukyunju, RUPO than other samples. 6. Total sugars content was the highest in ST-N and second highest in RU. 7. P, K and Mg content were higher in Dukyunju and ST-N than in other samples. In Dukyunju, Ca and P ratio was 0.075 because of low Ca content and high P content.

This study is to establish optimizing condition of alcohol fermentation in vinegar production with aronia, to confirm whether this can be industrially used, and to compare and analyze a change in anti-oxidative activity and quality characteristic according to alcohol fermentation of aronia. The optimized conditions for alcohol fermentation were as follows: Saccharomyces cerevisiae 5645 of yeast strain, a 5% inoculum size, aronia juice with a brix value of 14, and a glucose content of 7%. As a result to conduct scale up with optimizing conditions of alcohol fermentation of aronia, 8 days (192 hrs) of total alcohol fermentation time and 7.4% of the final alcohol content. The harvest volume accounted for approximately 90.2% with a loss of about 2.8%. As a result of antioxidant test, anti-oxidative activity of alcohol fermented liquor is lower than anti-oxidative activity of aronia extract, because of the decrease of antioxidant by oxidation of the fermentation process. However, the decrease of tannin by the fermentation process reduces acerbity of aronia, so increases overall preference

Effects of alchohol and fat content in a balanced diet on chemical composition and morphology of liver were investigated in growing rats. Fourth eight male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain weighing about 160g were divided into 4 groups ; high fat diet group, alcohol-administered high fat diet group, low fat diet group and alcohol-administered high fat diet group, low fat diet group and alcohol-administered low fat diet group. High and low fat diets supplied 30% and 12%, respectively, of total calorie intake from fat, and alcohol was given by adding ethanol in drinking waster at 10%. Diets contained adequate amounts of all nutrients required for rats, including lipotrpoic agents(choline and methionine) to minimize effects of factors other than alcohol on liver damage. Ratios of liver weight to body weight were statistically different among groups. Liver/dody weight ratios alcohol-administered rats were significantly higher than those of non-alcohol groups after 6 weeks treatment. Although total lipid and triglyceride per gram liver were increased in alcohol-administered rats, especially low fat diet fed rats, the values were not significantly different. Opticmicroscopical observation revealed increase in cell size and no change in morphology of liver. Examination of hepatocytes by electron microscopy showed that fat droplets were observed in all groups but enlarged in the alcohol-administered low fat diet fed rat. Contents of protein, cholesterol and phospholipid were not affected by alcohol consumption. The level of lipid peroxide was significantly lower in the livers of alcohol-administered rats than in the livers of non-alcohol groups. The results of this study indicate that even moderate alcohol drinking and dietary fat content did not affect any significant change in composition and morphology of liver until 6 week treatment but that even moderate alcohol drinking caused some signs of steatosis of liver.

This study was undertaken to investigate effects of alcohol and fat content in a balanced diet on growth, hepatic function and some biochemical indices of blood in growing rats. Fourty eight male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain weighing about 160g were divided into 4 groups ; high fat diet group, alcohol-adminstered high fat diet group, low fat diet group and alcohol-administered low fat diet group. High and low fat diet supplied 30% and 12%, respectively, of total calorie intake from fat and alcohol-treated groups received water containing 10% ethanol. Diets contained adequate amounts of all nutrients required for rats, including lipotropic agents(choline and methionine) to minimize effects of factors other than alcohol on liver function. Growth rate was lowest in alcohol-administered low-fat diet group, despite that their energy intake was equivalent to the others. For a 3-week study period, 21.86% and 23.61% of total calorie intake were derived from alcohol in alcohol-adminitered high fat diet group and low fat diet group, respectively. There was no influenced on vitamin B$_1$ status by alcohol consumption. Concentration of triglyceride in plasma increased with alcohol comsumption, and the effect was greater after 6 weeks than after 3 weeks of alcohol consumption . Difference of dietary fat content did not affect the level of triglyceride . The levels of total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol in plasma were not influenced by alcohol consumption. Serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase activity and hepatic mitochondrial respiration rate did not differ between groups. The results indicate that neither moderate alcohol drinking for 6 weeks nor fat content with a balanced diet caused any dramatic change of metabolism and liver function in rats. However they suggest that even moderate alcohol consumption can affect growth of animals dramatically and the effect may be lessened with relatively high fat content in diet.

The objective of this study was to establish the optimum alcohol fermenting conditions for the processing of kiwi wine and vinegar products. Six yeast strains were examined for their alcohol production from kiwi at $30^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr with continuous shaking at 100 rpm. Under these conditions, Saccharomyces kluyveri DJ97 produced the highest alcohol content of 10.2%. As the fermentation time extended to 96 hr, the alcohol content reached a maximum of 12.75%. The optimum alcohol fermenting conditions for kiwi fruit were accomplished when kiwi was added to an equal amount of water, inoculated with S. kluyveri DJ97 and fermented at $30^{\circ}C$ for 96 hr with continuous shaking. The content of soluble solids decreased as the alcohol concentration increased, whereas little change was observed in the pH and titratable acidity during the low temperature aging process. Other alcoholic compounds, such as methanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, isobutanol, and isoamylalcohol, tended to increase as fermentation progressed.

The Kinds of soy sauce were prepared using the brick type of conventional meju(A), the brick type of meju of Aspergillus oryzae(B), and the grain type of meju of Aspergillus oryzae(C). Free sugar and alcohol were analyzed in accordance to aging time of those products. Galactose, glucose, arabinose, xylose, and mannose were detected in all kinds of soy sauce. In soy sauce 4 galactose, glucose, arabinose, and xylose were shown in the order of content. The content of galactose in soy sauce A and soy sauce C were shown higher than that in soy sauce B alt during the time. The content of glucose was highest among that of all kinds of free sugars at the beginning of preparation, but the content of glucose was lower than that of arabinose and xylose after 60 days. The contents order of total free sugar was soy sauce C > soy sauce B > soy sauce A. The content of ethyl alcohol was shown 6.23∼19.10mg%, and that of isobutyl alcohol was 8.70∼ 169.03 ppm in all soy sauces, but those of soy sauce C was higher than those of other soy sauces.

The optimum conditions of the alcohol fermentation with raw tapioca by simultaneous saccharification and alcohol fermentation (SSAF) were studied using raw starch enzyme. The optimum conditions for maximum alcohol production were 0.5% (w/w) of enzyme content, 250% (v/w) of added water content and 96 hr of fermentation time. The alcohol and reducing sugar contents were 11.7% and 306 mg% after 96 hr fermentation, respectively. During the fermentation pH decreased from 6.2 to 4.2 and total acidity increased from 0.11 to 0.43. Alcohol components were detected such as ethanol, methanol, iso-propanol, n-propylalcohol and iso-butylalcohol, besides acetaldehyde. We could construct raw starch fermentation conditions which was 250% (v/w) of added water content and 0.5% (w/w) of enzyme content. However, yield of raw starch alcohol fermentation was lower than that of steaming alcohol fermentation.

For the elucidation of the metabolic effects due to alcoholic drink and moldy rice intake author designed two experiments as follows. In the first experiment, sixty male and female rats, divided into six groups, 10 rats each in both sexes, were given 7.5% sucrose-30% alcohol solution (Jinro-Soju) and diets varied of fat content (2%, 7%, 30% of diet) and protein quality (casein, bean, anchovy) for 6 weeks. In the Second experiment, six groups of rats, 10 male rats each, were fed the diets containing zero, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, and 100% moldy rice contaminated Penicillium Islandicum and the experimental periods were 4 weeks and 6 weeks. The results of these studies due to the toxicity of alcohol consumption and moldy rice ingestion of the fatty liver production and the other effects are as follows. 1. Food intake of alcohol consumed groups decreased to 50%-70% of that of standard group. In the second study, there was no significant differences on food intake due to the different contents of moldy rice and experimental period. 2. On the view paint of body weight gain, the body weight of alcohol consumed groups gained much less than that of standard group, because food consumption was decreased due to alcohol ingestion. 3. In comparison of F.E.R. and P.E.R. between standard and experimental groups, there was no significant differences in this study. 4. As a matter of fact, there was no significance on the nitrogen balance in both studies. 5. From the result of hematology, R.B.C. counts, W.B.C. counts, hemoglobin, and hematocrit showed normal values in all groups including in this study. So we might conclude that the toxicity of alcohol and moldy rice do not effect significantly on blood picture. 6. The larger organs shrank on the range of 20%-70% of that against standard group in this study. The major reason for the shrinkage of organs might be account of decreased food consumption due to alcoholic drink. There was no great changes on the organ weight due to the ingestion of moldy rice. 7. The nitrogen content in various organs in both experiments was revealed at the normal level for the worst condition in terms of the least food intake. In other word, it was noteworthy that the concentration of nitrogen in various organs was kept at the normal ratio as standard groups under the circumstances of this study. 8. The lipid content in the liver of rats fed alcohol and diets containing either various lipid contents or protein quality did not increase. Hepatic lipids accumulation due to the dietary fat content was observed, but there wvas no significances among the compared groups. In the second experiment, the difference of hepatic lipid content between the moldy rice groups and standard group was not showed. In addition to the result of total lipid, hepatic free cholesterol, free fatty acid, and triglyceride did not change in both studies, we might conclude that the toxicity of alcohol and moldy rice could not effect on the hepatic lipid contents. 9. There was no significant differences on the serum glucose level between alcohol groups and standard group. In the second experiment, serum glucose level increase in 6th week compared with in 4th week, but there was no significant differences.

This study investigated the effect of the addition of alcohol on the quality change of Chungkukjang during the aging, The Cung-kuk-jang was made by the degree of 3, 5, 10%, respectively, and determined NH2-N, NH3-N, total acidity, cell numbers, lactate, succinate and phenolic acid to measure the change of flavor component in the aging of 2$0^{\circ}C$. 1. In the treatment groups of different amount of alcohol and salt added and aging period of Chung-kuk-hang, NH2-N was more decreased with more addition of alcohol and salt in the 3-and 10-day of aging. NH3-N was increased gradually in the addition of up to 2.0% alcohol and then decreased in the 3-and 10-day of aging. 2. In the treatment groups of different amount of alcohol added and aging period Chung-kuk-hang, the total acidity was more decreased with more addition of alcohol and higher degree of salt. Cell number was decreased rapidly with the addition of 1.0% alcohol in the 3-day and then decreased relatively and in the 10-day of aging, and it was increased with the addition of alcohol 3. With the addition of alcohol and the different growing temperature, the content of phenolic acid was more browning changed at 3$0^{\circ}C$ than that of at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and the phenol content of each group was decreased with increasing the addition amount of alcohol. Thus, the more addition of alcohol amount would the more extend the period of Chung-kuk-hang aging.
