This study was conducted to investigate the fermentation characteristics and anti-obesity effects of acetic acid fermentation products of coffee wine. The live cell counts, soluble solids, pH and total acidity of the acetic acid unfermented coffee wine (AUFCW; day 0, before fermentation) were 6.35 log CFU/mL, 8.10 °Brix, 3.88, and 1.29%, respectively, while the acetic acid fermented coffee wine (AFCW; day 15, after fermentation) were 4.40 log CFU/mL, 8.57 °Brix, 3.07, and 7.45%, respectively. Pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity tended to increase as the acetic acid fermentation period increased. The anti-obesity effects of AFCW on 3T3-L1 cells, which was induced by MDI, were evaluated based on the lipid accumulation rate, leptin expression, and fat production-related gene expression (PPAR-γ and SREBP-1c) at the mRNA level. In the case of AFCW, the lipid accumulation rate and leptin expression were decreased to 69.37% and 50.20% at a concentration of 200 ㎍/mL, respectively, and the expression levels of PPAR-γ and SREBP-1c at the mRNA level were decreased to 79.89% and 48.81%, respectively. These results indicate that anti-obesity effect of acetic acid fermentation products could be increased by acetic acid fermentation of coffee wine.

In order to produce clear and favorable citrus wine from Citrus unshiu produced in Cheju island, chemical and microbiological processes for alcoholic fermentation were investigated. The ratio of pressed juice passed below 100 mesh sieve and peel of mandarin orange were 55.9% and 25.6% respectively. Orange juice for fermentation source contained 8.85% total sugar, 1.43% total acid and 0.056% volatile acid. Pressed juice was adjusted to 24 degree Brix with cane sugar, and was fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for one month. Starter screened and selected was Saccharomyces cerevisiae IAM 4274. As principal fermentation proceeded for one week, suspended solids began to precipitate slowly after then. After fermentation, clear citrus wine consisted of about 8 degree Brix residual sugar, $13.3{\sim}14.4%$ ethanol, $0.78{\sim}1.11%$ total acid, $0.05{\sim}0.07%$ methanol and $2.25{\sim}3.29%$ extract, was obtained. Color, flavor and taste of citrus wine found good with panel test. Citrus wine which was treated with fungal enzyme derived from Aspergillus niger CCM-4 was cleared much faster, and could be filtered more rapidly than the untreated. The enzyme-producing strain was isolated from field soil of Cheju island and identified.

This study was conducted to ferment high quality vinegar by using Omija fruit. Strains of bacteria producing acetic acid were isolated from spoiled Omija wine (OV1 and OV2) and traditional rice vinegar (RA). The bacterium was from optimally-oxidized Omija wine containing 6.0% ethanol and from Omija vinegar with 5.21% acetic acid by 14 days of fermentation. The Omija vinegar got the highest sensory score (5.80) among several commercial vinegars. The Omija vinegar showed a potent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas fluorescens by the paper disc test, while Omija wine had limited antibacterial activity against S. aureus and P. fluorescens. The diameter of the clear zone formed by the paper disc test using Omija vinegar was not less than 9.5 mm. The DPPH free radical-scavenging activity of Omija wine was higher than that from Omija water extracts. The nitrite scavenging ability of Omija wine (36.98% of all nitrites present) and vinegar (31.14%) was higher than that from Omija water extracts (22.53%). Omija vinegar exhibited strong antibacterial and antioxidant activities. In conclusion, we prepared high quality vinegar from dried Omija.

This study investigated the characteristics of honey wine, which was fermented by Saccaromyces sake, Saccharomyces bayanus and Nuruk. For alcohol fermentation of the diluting solution, mixtures of S. sake and Nuruk, and Nuruk and S. bayanus resulted the excellent fermentation. These conditions also produced a higher alcohol content than that from the single yeast Strain. The values of pH and acidity of honey wine showed little changes during the fermentation processes. In the case of the mixture of Nuruk and yeast, the content of reducing sugar during the fermentation processes decreased rapidly, but the content of alcohol increased. The soluble solids were $7.5\~8.1\;^{\circ}Brix$ after the fermentation period of 6 days, and the alcohol contents were represented $12.5\~13.1\%$, from the mixture of Nuruk and yeast. In addition, the sensory evaluation of honey wine with the mixture of Nuruk and yeast showed more effective results than that of the single yeast bacillus.

In this study, the characteristics of alcohol fermentation using Elaeagnus multiflora juice were studied under static fermentation condition in an effort to develop new types of functional wine. After 9 days of fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$, the pH, soluble solids, reducing sugar, viable cell numbers, and alcohol contents were shown to be 3.32~3.33, $7.8{\sim}9.0^{\circ}C$, 29.84~31.05 g/L, 7.26~8.73 cfu/mL, and 11.0%, respectively. The heat treated juice exhibited significantly higher antioxidant activity than untreated juice while the soluble phenolic and flavonoid contents became higher. Also, the fermented wine after the heat treated at $120^{\circ}C$ for 30 min contained free sugar such as fructose (0.42 g/L) and glucose (0.09 g/L), major organic acids such as lactic acid (7.32 g/L), malic acid (2.59 g/L), succinic acid (2.16 g/L), and oxalic acid (3.08 g/L), and major flavanols and phenolic acids such as catechin (99.45 mg/L), epicatechin (264.55 mg/L), epigallocatechin (82.19 mg/L), gallic acid (6.44 mg/L), and salicylic acid (60.53 mg/L). In addition, DPPH radical and ABTS radical scavenging activities and FRAP assay results were 70.47%,, 65.93%, and 1.254, respectively. These results suggest that it is possible to produced a new type of wine using Elaeagnus multiflora fruits.

Black raspberry was fermented with or without seeds. Chemical characteristics were analyzed during wine fermentation. pH of black raspberry wine decreased in the early stage of the fermentation and thereafter increased. Total acidity increased until the 4th day of fermentation with little change afterwards. Both pH and acidity were not affected by the blending of the seeds. Sugar concentration decreased and alcohol concentration increased during the fermentation, and they were not influenced by the blending of the seeds. $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ values of black raspberry wines tended to increase until the 12th day of the fermentation and decreased or little changed thereafter. $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ values of black raspberry wines made from the fruits with seeds (BRSW) were lower than those of black raspberry wines without seeds (BRW) with no significance. Monomeric anthocyanin (MA) and polyphenol contents (PC) decreased during fermentation. MA was not significantly influenced by the blending of the seeds. PC in BRSW were higher than those in BRW with no significance. Alcohols were the major volatile components, and there were no differences between alcohol compositions in the two wines. There were also no differences in color, flavor, taste and overall acceptability in sensory characteristics. Similarity in the chemical characteristics between the BRSW and BRW suggests that development of black raspberry wine with seeds blended is possible.

Fermentation characteristics for the production of honey wine with Saccharomyces sake, Saccharomyces bayanus and nuruk were investigated. Among the yeast strains and the mixture with nuruk tested, nuruk-Sacch. sake mixture and nuruk-Sacch. bayanus mixture showed higher alcohol production and better fermentability than the single strains. Total acid and pH did not change considerably during the whole period of fermentation. As the fermentation progressed, reducing sugar decreased rapidly until the 6 days of fermentation, while alcohol content increased rapidly during the same period. In fermentation of 6 days, honey wine consisted of about $7.5{\sim}8.1^{\circ}Brix$ of soluble solid, $22.7{\sim}31.8%$ of reducing sugar. Alcohol content were reached up to 12.5 and 13.1% for honey wine manufactured with nuruk-Sacch. sake mixture and nuruk-Sacch. bayanus mixture, respectively, relative to $5.2{\sim}7.2%$ of the single strains. Generally, honey wines prepared with the mixture of nuruk-yeast strains were fermented more efficiently than those with the single yeast.

The effects of part of plum, alcohol content and addition of t-resveratrol on the formation of ethyl carbamate during the fermentation for wine were investigated at a time interval (45 days) for 6 months. The concentration of the ethyl carbamate in plum wine was determined according to KFDA guideline for ethyl carbamate analysis. In the plum wine with 16% or 30% alcohol content, the concentrations of ethyl carbamate were increased with time of fermentation periods. The maximum concentrations of ethyl carbamate in 16% and 30% plum wines after the fermentation for 6 months were $0.071{\mu}g$/g and $0.188{\mu}g$/g, respectively. When t-resveratrol was added at the level of $10{\mu}g$/g in both 16% and 30% plum wine, the concentrations of ethyl carbamate at 6 months were 0.078 and $0.216{\mu}g$/g, respectively. The addition of t-resveratrol at the level of $300{\mu}g$/g in both 16% or 30% plum wine, the concentrations of ethyl carbamate at 6 months were 0.078 and $0.169{\mu}g$/g, respectively. The ethyl carbamate in the plum wine was not formed during fermentation for 6 month as using the flesh of plum, but $0.588{\mu}g$/g of ethyl carbamate was formed as using plum with plum seed. The addition of $300{\mu}g$/g of t-resveratrol actually increased the concentration of the ethyl carbamate by $0.088{\mu}g$/g as fermented for 6 months using plum with seed. These results suggest that the flesh of plum should be used to reduce the formation of ethylcarbamate for production of plum wine and that the addition of t-resveratrol during fermentation of plum wine can not reduce the concentration of the ethyl carbamate.

To improve the quality of Choungju. a kind of rice wine, two different types of koji were prepared and compared : one from wheat bran with Aspergillus usamii mut. shirousami Y-79 and the other from rice with A. oryzae, and yeast strains from cereal wine mashes were newly isolated and applied for the brewing method. Levels of the related enzymes such as glucoamylase, ${\alpha}-amylase$ and acid protease in the wheat bran koji were higher than those in the rice koji, whereas vice versa in the case of acid carboxypeptidase. An amount of $2{\sim}3%$ wheat bran koji to the weight of total rice was adequate for saccharification of the mash and resulted in improved duality of the fermented mash, accompanied by decrease in koji ordor and amino acidity. When the solution of wheat bran koji and the isolated yeast strains were employed, the better Choungju taste was obtained in comparison with those fermented with Japanese sake yeasts, the strain K-7 and 9, due to the lower content of organic acids especially succinic acid. The amino acidity of the fermented mash was able to be controlled to some extent, when the rico types of koji and the isolated strains were employed, by changing the ratio of the two koji types. However, the application of the rice koji with the isolated strains was not desirable for the brewing process because organic acids were produced in excess and ethanol fermentation was retarded.

Jeung-Pyun Is a traditional fermented Korean food made with rice flour, water, sugar salt and unrefined rice wine(Tak-ju). In order to investigate how the addition of soybean and dextran have an influence on Jeung-Pyun fermentation and forming structure of Jeun-Pyun, adding soybean 20% and dextran 1%based on rice weight, we measured physicochemical properties. Also we measured dextran content of Jeung-Pyun batter according to the fermentation time and observed the inside of Jeung-Pyun by SEM in order to find out air pore condition. The dextran content of rice Jeung-Pyun and Jeung-Pyun adding soybean 20% was gradually increased as fermentation time was longer and Jeung-Pyun adding soybean 20% was higher than rice Jeung-Pyun. The specific volume of rice Jeung-Pyun and Jeung-Pyun adding soybean 20% was increased up to a fermentation time of 7~ 10 hours but it was decreased as fermentation time was longer. In the inside structure of Jeung-Pyun observed by SEM, the fermentation condition of Jeung-Pyun fermented for 3 and 7 hour was better and air pore size became larger, the number of it was decreased as fermentation time was longer. The air pore size of soybean 20% Jeung-Pyun is smaller more uniform than that of rice Jeung-Pyun. In conclusion. it can be suggested that the audition of soybean improves the quality of Jeung-Pyun and dextran has an influence on fermentation and forming structure of Jeung-Pyun.
