The sensory properties in Alaska pollack sikhae were compared in 3 different temperature conditions, 5$^{\circ}C$, 20$^{\circ}C$ and alternating temperature(stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ after 10 days of fermentation at 20$^{\circ}C$), respectively, during fermentation. The change of instrumental texture including hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness and chewiness increased and/or decreased without significant difference in the sikhae fermented at 5$^{\circ}C$ during fermentation. Three profiles, hardness, chewiness and cohesiveness in the sikhae fermented at 20$^{\circ}C$ increased up to 12 day and then decreased, whereas those in alternating temperature decreased significantly. From the acceptance test during fermentation, sikhae products fermented for 14 days at 5$^{\circ}C$, 9 days at 20$^{\circ}C$ and 13 days at alternating temperature were superior in sensory properties. The score more over 5 point in overall acceptance was maintained until 14 days in 5$^{\circ}C$, 9 days in 20$^{\circ}C$ and 13 days in alternating temperature, respectively, and particularly, alternating temperature condition was superior to the different temperature conditions. The sensory texture and overall acceptance had the high positive correlation with chewiness and taste, respectively. From the result of quantitative descriptive analysis, the intensities of acidic odor and taste in alternating temperature maintained and/or increased during 27 days of fermentation, whereas those in sikhae fermented at 5$^{\circ}C$ decreased. These results demonstrated that cold chain system such as alternating temperature was needed for shelf-life extension and producing of marketable Allaska pollack sikhae.

This study investigated alcohol and acetic acid fermentation conditions for the quality control of pomegranate vinegar In the alcohol fermentation process, alcohol content was the highest at a pomegranate juice concentration of $16^{\circ}Brix$, but suitable to fruit vinegar standards at a concentration of $12^{\circ}Brix$. In the concentrated pomegranate juice alcohol fermentation free sugars, fructose and glucose were detected at the beginning of fermentation; at day 4 of fermentation only glucose was detected and decreased as time passed. Organic acids were also detected, including oxalic, lactic, acetic, and citric acid, and they did not change greatly during the alcohol fermentation process. In the acetic acid fermentation process, total acidity increased from 1.56% to 5.54%, where acetic acid increased; however, oxalic, lactic, and citric acids changed only slightly. In conclusion, pomegranate vinegar can undergo alcohol and acetic acid fermentation processes using concentrated pomegranate juice of $12^{\circ}Brix$.

Brown rice Makgeolli was brewed by using the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain SRCM102596 under different fermentation conditions: temperatures at 20 and 25℃ and Nuruk ratios of 5, 10, and 15%. There were no significant differences in the pH and total acidity between samples. The alcohol content at the different nuruk ratios varied significantly by the days in the fermentation process. The major free sugars were maltose, glucose, and fructose, and they gradually reduced with fermentation. The major organic acids in the brown rice Makgeolli were oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, and acetic acid. The lactic acid content increased with the number of days in the fermentation process. Among the 24 different free amino acid contents identified, the total free amino acid content of, especially, threonine, serine, and alanine were high in the brown rice Makgeolli, at 20℃ and nuruk ratio of 10%.

The purpose of this study was to obtain basic data necessary for making a nuruk salt by comparing and analyzing the ingredients of various nuruk salts, and to select a nuruk salt that meets the users' needs. We selected the types of nuruk as the ihwaguk, miinguk, baekguk, and koji to identify the characteristics of the nuruk, and then analyzed the chemical characteristics after manufacturing the nuruk salts under the same conditions of fermentation, such as material ratio and temperature. In the manufacture of nuruk salt, the pH level dropped from 6.2~6.5 before fermentation to 6.1~6.2 three days after fermentation. The Acidity increased from 0.16~0.18 before fermentation to 0.22~0.25 after fermentation and there was no difference between the nuruk. The sugar content has risen since fermentation, and nuruk salt made by koji showed the largest increase in the sugar content. The salinity of the nuruk salt was raised to 37~44 after fermentation from 30~32 before fermentation and indicated largest increase in nuruk salt made by koji. Organic acids of nuruk salt were detected in the order of acetic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, lactic acid, and citric acid. The oxalic acid of the baekguk salt was found to be 0.77 mg/mL, 2.3 times more of the koji, and the succinic acid was also found to be the highest with 1.19 mg/mL. Malic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, and citric acid were found to have the highest amount of koji salt at 0.29 mg/mL, 1.48 mg/mL, and 0.12mg/mL, respectively, making it a better taste to be soft than other nuruk salt.

The effects of fermentation on soy embryo have been investigated using lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA), Lactobacillus bulgaricus (LB), Streptococcus thermophilussei (ST), and Lactobacillus plantarum (LP). As a result of the fermentation test of the isoflavone conversion by strain type, inoculation content, and fermentation time, the optimum conditions were LP bacterium, an inoculum amount of 5%, and a fermentation time of 24 hours. The composition of the isoflavone glycosides in the control was the highest in the order of glycitin> daidzin> genistin. When fermented with lactic acid bacteria, glycoside content decreased, and aglycone content increased. The order of composition was daidzein>glycitein>genistein. In the fermentation with LP bacterium, soyasaponin Ab content decreased and Ba and Bb content increased. Upon assessing the result of the experiment, it was found that the pH of the fermentation broth had a great influence in the bioconversion of isoflavone and soyasaponin. In the case of fermentation by pH 6 broth, aglycone and Bb content was the highest. The increase of aglycone content by fermentation reaction with the LP bacterium can increase the physiological activity and functionalization of soy embryo, which is a byproduct of processing.

Lactobacilli proliferating in fermented sausages of the specific ripening conditions were isolated from fermented sausages, manufactured in the absence of an added starter, during ripening under controlled temperature-humidity conditions. Based on morphological, physiological and bio- chemical characteristics and carbohydrate fermentation of isolated strains, three strains of isolates were identified as Lactobacillus curvatus, two strains as Lactobacillus sake. Optimal temperature and pH for growth of isolated strains were 30$\circ$C and pH 6.0~7.0, respectively. These strains were salt tolerant, multiplying in the presense of 6~8% NaCl.

The effects of addition of celulases (A cremonium cellulolyticus and Trichoderma viride, CE), a commercial inoculum containing lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus casei, LAB), fermented green juice (macerated napier grass with water was incubated anaerobically with 2% glucose for 1 day, FGJ) and glucose (G), and regional difference of ensiling on napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) silage were studied by using 900 ml laboratory glass bottle silos under 30 and $40^{\circ}C$ storage conditions in 1995 and 1996. Experiment 1 was carried out to compare the addition of CE, LAB, FGJ and the combinations. Silages were stored for 45 days after ensiling. Experiment 2 studied the effects of applications of CE, LAB, FGJ and G. Experiment 3 was carried out using the similar additives as experiment 2 except for LAB. Silages were stored for 60 days in the experiments 2 and 3. Experiments 1 and 2 were done in Nagoya, and experiment 3 in Okinawa. Sugar addition through CE or G improved the fermentation quality in all the experiments, which resulted in a greater decrease in the pH value and an increased level of lactic acid, while butyric acid contents increased under $30^{\circ}C$ storage condition in CE addition. LAB and FGJ additions hardly affected the silage fermentation quality without additional fermentable carbohydrate. But the combination of LAB, FGJ and glucidic addition (CE and G) improved the fermentation quality. The effect of the regional difference of ensiling between temperate (Nagoya; $35^{\circ}$ N) and subtropical (Okinawa; $26.5^{\circ}$ N) zones on silage fermentation quality was not shown in the present study.

This study shows the changes of the nucleotides and their related compounds of squid during fermentation for 8 weeks at $10^{\circ}C$ in 5% salt solution. Among nucleic acid related matters, ATP and ADP were vanished not to be detected, AMP existed only at the early stage and then rapidly decreased until the mid-stage of the ripening. Inosine and hypoxanthine were the main components of nucleotides and their related compounds. As the salt concentration was decreased and fermentation temperature raised, pH was significantly increased to the latter stage of the ripening and hence fermentations was enhanced. The titrable acidity was continuously decreased until the latter stage of the ripening. Considering the above result, it is possible to make an estimate that the suitable fermentation conditions of squids are $10^{\circ}C$ of fermentation temperature, 10% of salt concentration and 5 weeks of ripening period.

The effect of the amounts of kimchi (100, 200 and 300 g) and fermentation temperature (10, 15 and 20$^{\circ}C$) on gas formation of kimchi during fermentation were investigated. The pH of the 200 g packaged kimchi for 12 days at 10-15$^{\circ}C$ was higher than 100 g and 300 g packaged kimchi, whereas that of 100 g packaged kimchi at 20$^{\circ}C$ was higher than the other products. Total lactic acid bacteria in was highest in the 200-300 g packaged kimchi fermented for 12 days at 10$^{\circ}C$. Number of Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus plantarum of 200 g packaged kimchi higher with the lower fermentation temperature, and that of Lactobacillus plantarum was higher in the kimchi fermented at 15$^{\circ}C$. The periods of gas formation was 8-11 days of fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$, 1-7 day at 15$^{\circ}C$, and 5-6 days at 20$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The order of gas formation amount in the temperature and amount of kimchi was 15 > 20 > 10$^{\circ}C$ and 300 > 200 > 100 g, respectively.
