The strain isolated for making chungkuk-jang was Bacillus subtilis which formed sport with 98% ratio. Logarithmical culture was inoculated(1,000 CF/g) to the steamed soybeans and at th optimum fer-mentation conditions(4$0^{\circ}C$, RH 90%) fermentation progressed very rapidly and synchronously. Fermen-tation time was 24 hours on the optimum fermentation conditions. During activated fermentation chun-gkuk-jang's aroma and flavor created. After finishing the fermentation the spore forming ratio was 95% and replenishment was not occured easily during aging at the below 5$^{\circ}C$.

This study was conducted to examine the chemical and sensory characteristics of fermented worts and consumer acceptability according to added flavorings. The worts were fermented by yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) following fermentation by lactic acid bacteria (Leuconostoc citreum) at different aeration conditions. Chemical and sensory descriptive analyses were conducted to examine the effects of the fermentation conditions. The consumer acceptability of the worts with added flavorings was also examined. Organic acids, functional sugars, and ethanol were produced by L. citreum and S. cerevisiae, respectively. Ethanol concentrations ranged from 10 to 25 g/L depending on the fermentation conditions. The sensory characteristics of the fermented worts were clearly differentiated by the fermentation conditions. Yeast fermentation resulted in high intensities for certain sensory attributes such as 'alcohol', 'fermented barley', 'fermented white grape', and 'grassy'. Consumer acceptability changed with different levels of sugar and lemon flavoring, and the optimum levels were determined as 14.08% sugar and 0.98% lemon flavoring. Under these conditions, it was shown that a relatively acceptable fermented wort beverage containing functional materials can be produced.

This study was conducted to determine the optimal conditions of acetic acid fermentation of aronia using the response surface methodology (RSM). Alcohol content of aronia wine was 13.1% after alcohol fermentation of aronia fruits. The optimal conditions of acetic acid fermentation were determined by five levels of initial aronia alcohol content, initial acetic acid content, and acetic acid bacteria, using the central composite design. The acetic acid yields, residual alcohol contents, pH, and color values (L, a, b) of acetic acid fermentation products were very significantly different ($p{\leq}0.01$), and were 26.34~57.82 g/L, 0.80~1.53%, 3.19~3.43, 47.58~71.00, 31.77~51.15, and 18.45~48.57, respectively. For the results, the optimal conditions of acetic acid fermentation of aronia were 7.78% of the initial alcohol concentration, 1.58% of the initial acetic acid, and 19.39% of the acetic acid bacteria.

This study was conducted to examine temperature effects on hydrogen production in anaerobic fermentation. 18 batch reactors were operated at mesophilic ($35^{\circ}C$) and thermophilic conditions ($55^{\circ}C$) to achieve maximum hydrogen production in anaerobic fermentation. Optimum hydrogen production conditions were also investigated at each temperature. Different trends were observed regarding pH effects on hydrogen production. This effect was not significant for mesophilic fermentation ($35^{\circ}C$). In this case, pH may not drop to interfere hydrogen production during the test. However, hydrogen production decreased without pH control for thermophilic condition ($55^{\circ}C$). Effects of heat treatment were observed for both fermentation process. Hydrogen production with heat treatment was higher than hydrogen production without heat treatment for both fermentation processes. The amount of produced hydrogen for each substrate concentration with temperature changes showed that more hydrogen was produced at $35^{\circ}C$ than at $55^{\circ}C$.

In order to develop the whey beverage, we examined the optimum conditions for alcohol fermentation by Kluyveromyces tragilis ATCC 46537. The optimum conditions for alcohol production by K. fragilis ATCC 46537 were as follows; pH 4.5, $30^{\cir}C$, with a supplement of 50 g/l of lactose. To develop a continuous production of alcohol from whey, we compared batch fermentation with continuous iermentation in conjunction with UF system. Batch fermentation produced 11.0 g/l of alcohol, whereas pseudocontinuous and continuous fermentation with UF system produced 8.5 g/l of alcohol. To increase the alcohol production, we added 50 g/l of lactose to both fermentations. Batch fermentation with lactose supplement produced 15.7 g/l of alcohol and continuous fermentation with lactose supplement in conjunction with UF system produced 15.0 g/l of alcohol. These results clearly demonstrate that the UF system can be used to increase the alcohol production from whey, supplemented with exogenous lactose.

To investigate the optimum conditions for the production of ammonia as a precursor of tetramethylpyrazine flavor compound from arginine by Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis FC1, fermentation factors such as initial pH of culture media, fermentation temperature, concentration of arginine-HC1, and sugars were examined. The optimum conditions were initial pH 5.5 of the culture media, fermentation temperature of $34^{\circ}C$, 6% (w/v) of arginine-HC1, and 1% (w/v) of galactose as a carbon source. Under the optimum fermentation conditions, 40 mmole/l of ammonia was produced after 40 h.

산머루 발효주 제조를 위하여 산머루에 자생하고 있는 발효력이 우수한 효모를 분리 선별하였다. 최종 선별된 균주는 산머루에서 분리한 SMR-3이 알코올 발효력이 우수하고 산도, 잔당, 유기산 함량 및 fusel oil 등의 함량이 낮아 품질면에서 다른 균주로 발효한 산머루주보다 우수하였다. SMR-3을 이용하여 산머루주 제조 최적화를 위한 반응표면 분석결과 알코올 함량이 가장 높은 배양조건으로 온도 $21.91^{\circ}C$, 당함량 $21.48^{\circ}brix$, 발효시간 14.65일의 조건에서 알코올 함량 10.61%가 예상되었고, 잔당함량은 $24.48^{\circ}C$, $12.78^{\circ}brix$, 발효시간 9.02일의 조건에서 최소값을 나타내었다. 관능평가의 결과 발효온도 $20.23^{\circ}C$, 초기당도 $25.30^{\circ}brix$, 발효시간 5.94일에서 최대값을 나타내었다. 알코올 중 ethyl alcohol이 대부분이었고, fusel oil은 거의 검출되지 않아서 산머루주의 품질이 우수한 것으로 판단된다. 각 변수에 대한 회귀식을 도출하여 인자별 산머루주의 알코올 함량, fusel oil, ethyl alcohol 함량 및 전반적인 기호도에 대한 최적 발효조건을 superimposing한 결과 발효온도 $24{\sim}28^{\circ}C$, 초기당도 $20{\sim}24^{\circ}brix$ 및 발효시간 $12{\sim}14$일의 범위로 각각 예측되었다.

생전분 분해효소를 이용한 타피오카의 당화 및 알콜 병행복발효에 적합한 조건을 조사하였다. 그 결과 가수량 250% (v/w), 효소제 사용량 0.5%(w/w)를 사용하여 96시간 발효하였을 때 알콜 함량이 가장 높았다. 알콜발효 96시간째에 알콜함량 및 환원당은 11.7% 및 306mg%으로 각각 나타났다. pH 변화는 발효초기 pH 6.2에서 발효 후 pH 4.2 범위로 감소하였으며, 총산은 발효초기 0.11에서 0.43가지 증가하였으나 큰 변화는 없었다. 알콜성분은 ethanol, methanol, iso-propanol, n-proylalcohol, iso-butylalcohol 및 iso-amylalcohol이 분석되었으며 그외에 acetaldehyde가 확인되었다. 생전분분해효소제를 이용한 타피오카의 알콜발효 조건은 가수량250%, 효소제 0.5%로 설정할 수 있었다. 그러나 전반적인 발효수율은 증자방법에 비하여 낮게 나타났다.

Epothilone, which is produced by the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum, contributes significant value in medicinal development. However, under submerged culture conditions, S. cellulosum will accumulate to form bacterial clumps, which hinder nutrient and metabolite transportation. Therefore, the production of epothilone by liquid fermentation is limited. In this study, diatomite-based porous ceramics were made from diatomite, paraffin, and poremaking agent (saw dust). Appropriate methods to modify the porous ceramics were also identified. After optimizing the preparation and modification conditions, we determined the optimal prescription to prepare high-performance porous ceramics. The structure of porous ceramics can provide a solid surface area where S. cellulosum can grow and metabolize to prevent the formation of bacterial clumps. S. cellulosum cells that do not form clumps will change their erratic metabolic behavior under submerged culture conditions. As a result, the unstable production of epothilone by this strain can be changed in the fermentation process, and the purpose of increasing epothilone production can be achieved. After 8 days of fermentation under optimized conditions, the epothilone yield reached 90.2 mg/l, which was increased four times compared with the fermentation without porous ceramics.

In this study, we optimized fermentation conditions for the solid state fermentation of rice bran with Monascus pilosus KCCM60084, and the antioxidant activities were investigated. Optimal fermentation conditions were determined by the production of Monacolin K, a functional secondary metabolites with cholesterol lowering activity. The highest Monacolin K production were 2.88 mg/g observed on day 10 with 45% moisture content in the substrate when inoculated with 5% inoculum (w/w). Reducing power, iron chelating activity and $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging activity were significantly enhanced after fermentation by 60, 80, and 38% respectively. Furthermore, the content of total flavonoid were found to be increased by 4.58 fold. Based on these results, Monascus-fermented rice bran showed strong possibility to be used as a natural antioxidant agent due to its enhanced antioxidant activity.
