All the parts of lotus, including the seed, rhizome, leaf, stalk, petal, anther, pericarp, and fruit receptacle, have been used in traditional medicine system as a health beneficial supplement. However the most usually used from lotus plant is only the root. Therefore in this study, it will be discussed more the utilization of other parts of the lotus, namely the flower of lotus. The petals and stamens of lotus actually are also rich in bioactive components such as flavonoids and alkaloids, are used in the treatment of tissue inflammation, cancer, skin disease, and also for us as antidotes. One of the biotechnological process that can be used to improve the nutritional content, sensory, and also antioxidant activities is fermentation process. The final product desired from the fermentation process in this study is vinegar. The microbial strain powder used is Uinkin fermented powder with three variations of fermentation. The variations given in this study were initial sugar 32%, 24%, and 14% with the same fermentation temperature, $35^{\circ}C$ for 3 months. The results obtained showed that the pH value and sugar content of products during the fermentation process were decreasing during the fermentation process, with total polyphenol content of $283.7{\pm}97.6mg/100g\;QAE$, and total flavonoid content of $3.3{\pm}0.0mg/100g\;QAE$. For the DPPH radical scavenging ability of the fermentation product also increased in a concentration dependent manner, with ORAC activity of the product showed a high activity of $20.7{\pm}0.41{\mu}M$ TE. Therefore, fermentation process can be the one of method for improving the product. The efficiency of lotus flower vinegar fermentation can be reached with an initial sugar condition of 25% (sample B).

In this study, Green apple from Mungyeong area was used as material in the fermentation process. In apple fruit growing process, to produce a high quality apple fruit, some Green apple should be removed. Since the removed Green apple fruit is inedible, it doesn't have any economical value. To solve this problem, this paper proposed fermentation process to increase the economical value of raw apple as a fermentation product. This research conducted seven days, and the pH and brix value analysis was done every 12 hours during fermentation process. The experimental results show that the fermentation product under blender treatment is better than cutting treatment and without cutting treatment. Initial brix 25% is the best treatment for fermentation because produce fermentation product with a good taste and aroma than other treatment.

Objective: The influence of konjac gel level on fermentation process and product qualities were assessed to evaluate the feasibility of using it as fat analog in Northeastern Thai fermented sausage (Sai Krok E-san). Methods: Five treatments of fermented sausages were formulated by replacing pork backfat with 0%, 7.5%, 22.5%, and 30% konjac gel. The changes in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and important physicochemical properties of samples were assessed during 3 days of fermentation. After the end of fermentation at day 3, water activity ($a_w$), instrumental texture, color, microbial counts, and sensory evaluation were compared. The best product formulation using konjac for replacing pork back fat were selected and used to compare proximate composition and energy value with control sample (30% pork backfat). Results: An increase in konjac gel resulted in higher values of LAB, total acidity, and proteolysis index with lower pH and lipid oxidation during 3 days of product fermentation (p<0.05). It was noted that larger weight loss and product shrinkage during fermentation was observed with higher levels of konjac gel (p<0.05). The resulting sausage at day 3 with 15% to 30% konjac gel exhibited higher hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, springiness, and chewiness than control (p<0.05). The external color of samples with 22.5% to 30% konjac gel were redder than others (p<0.05). Mold, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli in all finished products were lower than detectable levels. Product with 15% konjac gel had the highest scores of sourness linking and overall acceptability (p<0.05). Conclusion: The product with 15% of konjac gel was the optimum formulation for replacing pork backfat. It had higher sensorial scores of sourness and overall acceptability than control with less negative impact on external appearance (product shrinkage) and weight loss. Moreover, it provided 46% fat reduction and 32% energy reduction than control.

This study was intended to develop a new rice product by the fermentation of saccharified rice solution using Bifidobacterium and to select an appropriate reducing agent to provide the anaerobic condition for the growth of Bifidobacterium during fermentation. The enhancement of the growth of Bifidobacterium in saccharified rice solution was achieved by the treatment of reducing agents such as ascorbic acid and cysteine. The physical and chemical properties of the fermented product were evaluated, and the effect of the reducing agents were compared between ascorbic acid and cysteine. The fermented product with the addition of ascorbic acid shows the lower pH and the higher titratable acidity comparing the product with the addition of cysteine. This indicated that ascorbic acid was more appropriate reducing agent than cysteine for the fermentation of the saccharified rice solution. The number of viable Bifidobacterium in the fermented product with the addition of ascorbic acid(2.2$\times$108~3.4$\times$108CFU/ml) was greater than that with the addition of cysteine (8$\times$107~2.8$\times$108CFU/ml). Ascorbic acid supplement also contributed better sensory properties, such as flavor, taste and overall acceptibility than cysteine supplement did.

Nutritive values of green and black tea by-products and anti-nutritive activity of their tannins were evaluated in an in vitro rumen fermentation using various molecular weights of polyethylene glycols (PEG), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and polyvinyl polypyrrolidone as tannin-binding agents. Significant improvement in gas production by addition of PEG4000, 6000 and 20000 and PVP was observed only from black tea by-product, but not from green tea by-product. All tannin binding agents increased $NH_3$-N concentration from both green and black tea by-products in the fermentation medium, and the PEG6000 and 20000 showed relatively higher improvement in the $NH_3$-N concentration. The PEG6000 and 20000 also improved in vitro organic matter digestibility and metabolizable energy contents of both tea by-products. It was concluded that high molecular PEG would be suitable to assess the suppressive activity of tannins in tea by-products by in vitro fermentation. Higher responses to gas production and $NH_3$-N concentration from black tea by-product than green tea by-product due to PEG indicate that tannins in black tea by-product could suppress rumen fermentation more strongly than that in green tea by-product.

Fermentation processes for the production of butanol had an economic importance in the first part of this century. Today butanol is commercially produced from the Oxo reaction of propylene because relatively low priced propylene during the cracking of petroleum. Efforts have been made during the past decade or two to improve the productivity of butanol fermentation processes. It includes strain improvements, continuous fermentation processes, cell immobilization and simultaneous product separation. This review introduces a new butanol fermentation process using pervaporative product separation and a new bacterial strain producing less amount of organic acids. This review also compares the new process with chemical processes. This kind of new fermentation process may be able to compete with the chemical synthesis of butanol and revitalize the butanol fermentation process.

현재까지 젖산 발효 음료는 우유나 혹은 그 관련 제품을 이용하여 제조하였으나 쌀을 액화 혹은 당화시켜 젖산균을 증식시키므로서 기호성 있는 젖산 발효제품 생산 가능성을 확인하였다. 멥쌀을 12시간 침지 후 총 흡수량이 무게비율로 쌀:물이 1:1이 되게 하여 $121^{\circ}C$에서 20분 살균 후 액화 효소인 ${\alpha}-amylase$를 작용시켜 액화한 후 이 액에 Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus plantarum를 단독으로 혹은 혼합하여 접종한 후 배양하여 쌀을 이용한 젖산 발효 제품을 얻었다. 제품의 관능검사 결과 최적 pH는 3.7 부근으로 발효시작 후 18시간이 소요되었으며 젖산균은 세 균주를 혼합하는 것이 가장 좋았으나, L. plantarum과 가장 관계가 깊었다. Skim milk는 젖산 발효를 촉진하나 제품의 관능검사 결과 열등하였고 호상보다는 액상(쌀1 : 물3) 제품이 우수하였다.
