Central composite design along with response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to improve the fermentation process in onion (Allium cepa) wine production. The effects of different fermentation parameters (time, temperature, and initial sugar content) were found to be significant with respect to the physicochemical and sensory properties of wine. The maximum score for the alcoholic content was obtained at $29.27^{\circ}C$ fermentation temperature, 103.43 h fermentation time, and $27.52^{\circ}Brix$ initial sugar content. The maximum score for overall palatability was obtained at $39.27^{\circ}C$ fermentation temperature, 57.28 h fermentation time, and $22.14^{\circ}Brix$ initial sugar content. The coefficients of determination ($R^2$) were 0.9620 and 0.9060 for alcoholic content and overall palatability, respectively. The ranges of the optimum fermentation conditions ($28{\sim}32^{\circ}C$, 80~90 hr, and $20{\sim}25^{\circ}Brix$) were obtained by superimposing the response surfaces with regard to the alcoholic content and overall palatability of onion wine.

When bread making, the condition of thawing-fermentation for frozen dough were tested in variable temperature, and measured thawing-fermentation time and volume of frozen dough. L-Ascorbic acid (L-Aa) was added in frozen dough for the comparison test of develop volume in bread staling degree of baking bread were measured additive frozen dough which was stoppages in freezing, staling degrees were tested hardness with Rheometer. The test for comparison of thawing-fermentation time in variable temperature was shown the condition of dough conditioner at 3$0^{\circ}C$ was most effective for bread making, Because That condition was required very short time(74 min) But, in this comparison of volume in final products was shown the products in the condition of thawing-fermentation at 3$0^{\circ}C$ was smaller than the products at 5$^{\circ}C$(418 ml). The baking volume of L-Aa additive frozen dough which has under gone thawing-fermentation at 3$0^{\circ}C$, were shown baking volume of 420 ml in 2 weeks storage terms to 100 mg/kg L-Aa additive dough and shown baking volume of 454 ml in 4 weeks storage terms to dough of 200 mg/kg additive weight. Staling degrees of L-Aa additive frozen bread were measured with Rheometer. The hardness of 100 mg/kg L-Aa additive frozen bread was sown low level hardness in 1~2 weeks freezing term, 150 mg/kg L-Aa additive frozen bread was shown low level hardness in 3 weeks freezing term. In 4 weeks freezing term, 200 mg/kg L-Aa additive frozen bread was shown low level hardness compared with non-additive L-Aa frozen bread. In comparison of frozen bread quality, non-additive L-Aa products was better than additive L-Aa products in equality of baking shape and external apparence. But in total quality in external and internal apparence, additive L-Aa products was better than non-additive L-Aa products.

The effects of fermentation temperature$(0{\sim}l5^{\circ}C)$ and salt concentration$(1.5{\sim}4.0%)$ on the fermentation property of Chinese cabbage Kimchi were analyzed by response surface methodology. The pH decreased and acidity increased with increasing fermentation time. The reduction and increment velocities of pH and acidity were increased by increasing fermentation temperature and decreasing salt concentration. The optimum pH 4.2 was reached within $14{\sim}24$ days at $5{\sim}15^{\circ}C$, while pHs of 24 days at $0{\sim}5^{\circ}C$ were still lower value than 4.2. The effect of salt concentration more affected terminal fermentation period than initial fermentation period. The maximum edible acidity, 0.75%, was reached within 8 days at $15^{\circ}C$, while acidifies of 24 days at $0^{\circ}C$ were $0.35{\sim}0.43%$. The effects of salt concentration at $0^{\circ}C$ was higher than those at $15^{\circ}C$. The fermentation time, fermentation temperature and salt concentration were the first, second and third affecting factors on the pH and acidity of Kimchi. Based on the coefficients of determination, pH and acidity were highly fitted to the experimental data$(r^2>0.9276)$. For the suitable acidity range, $0.40{\sim}0.75%$, the edible period of Kimchi at $15^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C\;and\;5^{\circ}C$ were 4 days, 10 days and 18 days at the 2.75% of salt concentration, respectively. The edible period increased from 14 days to 19 days with increased salt concentration from 1.50% to 4.00% at $5^{\circ}C$ of fermentation temperature.

This study was conducted to develop low-salinity Kimchi with acetic acid, starters and fruits added for health and taste. The quality characteristics of the developed Kimchi by storage period and salt concentrations were investigated herein. The effects of salinity and fermentation temperature ($0^{\circ}C$, $5^{\circ}C$) on the quality characteristics of low-salinity Kimchi were investigated through physicochemical and microbiological analysis. The sensory characteristics are shown in the results below. The pH and acidity were quickly changed by higher temperature over longer storage periods, with gradual decrease in the pH accompanied with an increase in acidity. The microbiological analysis revealed increase in the total cell number regardless of the concentration and strain added during the storage period. Finally, test of the overall acceptability with regard to sensory characteristics according to the different strain sets in low-salinity Kimchi showed the average score for smell, salty taste and overall acceptability were highest in the hetero-fermentation strain group.

Nuruk is a fermentation agent, which has been used for the production of traditional Korean alcoholic beverages. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of temperature on nuruk fermentation. One wheat nuruk sample was fermented at $36^{\circ}C$ for 30 days (TN-A) and another at $45^{\circ}C$ for 10 days followed by $36^{\circ}C$ for 20 days (TN-B). The activities of ${\alpha}$-amylase, glucoamylase, and acidic protease, as well as metabolite contents were measured. Initially, the enzymatic activities increased rapidly regardless of the fermentation temperature. After 3 days of fermentation, the enzymatic activities were maintained in TN-A, but gradually decreased in TN-B until the end of fermentation process. Metabolite analysis using $^1H$-NMR showed that the levels of glucose, glycerol, fructose, mannitol, and lactose initially increased quickly and then decreased in TN-A. However, they initially decreased and then were maintained over the fermentation period in TN-B. The contents of glycine, proline, and serine were higher in TN-A than in TN-B. This study suggests that a constant temperature of approximately $36^{\circ}C$ is appropriate for achieving high amylolytic and proteolytic activities in the production of wheat nuruk.

For set up the processing method of Byeo-Nuruk, we investigated the quality characteristics of Byeo-Nuruk according to the mixture ratio of rice and wheat, as well as the addition rate of moisture. After 12 hours of incubation, the temperature of Nuruk increased dramatically and reached a maxium temperature at 36 hours. After 36 hours, the temperature decreased gradually and was maintained at about $31{\sim}38^{\circ}C$. The ranges of pH and titratable acidity of Byeo-Nuruk were 4.85 to 7.42 and 1.0 to 2.3, respectively. A higher content of wheat ratio in Byeo-Nuruk, was associated with higher enzyme activities of ${\alpha}$-amylase, glucoamylase, and acidic-protease. Further, at a 70% wheat ratio, a 25% addition rate of moisture showed the highest enzyme activity. In the mixture ratio between rice and wheat, the 50:50 and 30:70 treatments contained the highest levels of microorganisms.

The Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation(SSF) of ethanol production from potato starch studied with respect to growth pH, temperature, substrate concentration. The glucoamylase and Saccharomyceses cerevisiae have a capacity to carry out a single stage SSF process for ethanol production. The characteristics, termed as starch hydrolysis, accumulation of glucose, ethanol production and biomass formation, were affected with variation in pH, temperature and starch concentration. The maximum ethanol concentration of 12.9g/l was obtained using a starch concentration 30g/l, which represent an ethanol yield of 86%. The optimum conditions for the maximum ethanol yield were found to be a temperature of 38, pH of 4.0 and fermentation time of 18hr. Thus by using the control composite design, it is possible to determine the accurate values of the fermentation parameters where maximum production of ethanol occurs.

Beer is the most popular alcoholic fermentation product, but its high purine content has been known to be associated with hyperuricemia and gout. In this study, we examined whether the purine content of beer could be lowered by changing the fermentation temperature during beer-brewing. We brewed beers at different temperatures, $10^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$, that are two typical beer-brewing conditions for bottom- and top-fermentation, respectively, and the contents of the representative purines, adenine, guanine, and xanthine in each beer were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. As a result, the total purine content of the beer fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ was lower than that of fermented beer at $20^{\circ}C$. Especially, the content of adenine was lowered significantly.
