Possibility of utilization of fig as a source of vinegar was tested. Alcohol fermentation was conducted by inoculation of Saccharomyces bayanus into fig juice. After 5 days of fermentation at 27oC, fig wine with alcohol content of 13.6%. Then fig vinegar was produced by cultivation of Acetobacter sp. E which was isolated from fig vinegar. Optimum concentration of alcohol, starter content and fermentation temperature for the acid production were 8~9%, 5% and 27~30oC, respectively. More acetic acid was produced by adding 0.5% of yeast extract and 0.01% of Ca pantothenate. Adjustment pH of culture broth with acetic acid and shaking cultivation method were not effective in higher yield of acid production. Addition of sulfite up to 50 ppm did not inhibit for acetic acid fermentation. Addition of 1% bentonite or 1% kakishibu was more effective for the clarification of fig vinegar than any other clarifying agents tested. During aging and racking, acidity, absorbance and tannin content of fig vinegar decreased, while redness and yellowness increased. Aged and racked fig vinegar showed higher sensory score than non aged one in the aspects of color and overall acceptability.

Optimum processing conditions for vinegar fermentation using fig, pear and persimmon were determined. Alcohol contents in the fermentatio broth of crushed fruits of fig, pear and persimmon were 7.5%, 5.1% and 6.8%, respectively. Alcohol contents increased up to 14.3~15.1% by adding 24% of sugar to the fruit juices. The total acidity of 7.04%, 3.30% and 3.66% were obtained for fig, pear and persimmon, respectively, through acetic acid fermentation of fruit juices containing 8% ethanol. Acetic acid yield increased by shaking during fermentation for pear and persimmon broth. Acetic acid yield increased 1.80~1.92 times by adding 0.5% of yeast extract to the fermentation broth of pear and persimmon. After fermentation, each fruit vinegar was clarified up to 93.1~97.4 of light transmittance by using 0.6% of kaki shibu for 4 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$. After aging for 60 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$, the acidity of fruit vinegar decreased slightly. Tannin content of persimmon vineger was remarkably higher than the other, while light absorbance of pear vinegar was higher than the other vinegars. Acetic acid was identified as the main volatile organic acid in the fruit vinegars, while propionic, isobutyric and isovaleric acids were identified as the minors. The content of non-volatile organic acids in the pear vinegar was higher than that in the persimmon vinegar. Sensory evaluation results indicate that the fig vinegar was preferred to the pear vinegar in the aspects of color, flavor and overall acceptability, but the fig vinegar had a strong background taste. Sensory scores of the persimmon vinegar increased significantly by pasteurization, but those of the fig and pear vinegars did not by pasteurization.

시판되는 발효식초 7종을 대상으로 품질특성을 비교 분석하였다. pH는 감식초가 가장 높았으며, 양조식초, 무화과 식초, 쌀식초, 사과식초, 현미식초, 매실식초 순으로 나타났다. 총산의 경우 현미식초, 사과식초, 매실식초가 6.33~6.57%의 범위를 보여 타 시료에 비해 조금 높은 결과를 보였다. 유리아미노산 함량은 양조식초>무화과식초>감식초>쌀식초>매실식초>사과식초 순으로 나타났으며, ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid(GABA) 함량이 무화과식초와 감식초에서 타 시료에 비해 높게 분석되었다. 항산화성분인 총 폴리페놀 함량은 감식초>무화과식초>양조식초>쌀식초 순으로 나타났으며, 총 플라보노이드 함량 역시 그 경향이 총 폴리페놀 함량과 일치하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 현재 상업적으로 대량 판매를 하지 않는 무화과 식초가 타 식초에 비해 유기산 성분과 GABA 함량이 풍부한 기능성 식초를 제조하는데 좋은 대안이 될 것으로 사료된다.

녹농균(Pseudomonas aeruginosa), 대장균(Escherichia coli) 및 포도알균(Staphylococcus aureus)은 기회감염균이다. 또한 이들 세균은 다제내성(Multiple-Drug Resistance, MDR) 세균의 성질을 가지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 녹농균, 대장균, 포도알균에 대한 다양한 효능을 지닌 6가지 발효액의 항균활성을 분석하였다. 발효액을 섭취했을 때 대장균에서 유전적 발현 변화가 일어나는지 알아보기 위해 annealing control primer를 사용하여 유전자발현 분석을 수행하였다. 디스크확산법을 통해 무화과식초와 대봉감식초가 다른 발효액에 비해 억제대의 크기가 가장 크게 나타났고, 토종약초발효소는 항균효과가 없었다. 대장균에 5% 무화과식초를 처리하여 21일간 매일 계대배양하여 Escherichia coli O157:H7 OmpW gene for outer membrane protein W 유전자 발현이 감소하며, Synthetic construct Lao1 gene for L-amino acid oxidase, complete cds 유전자가 발현이 증가함을 확인하였다. 발효액 중에서 특히 무화과식초를 섭취하는 것은 우리 주변에 항상 존재하는 대장균에 대해 방어능력을 더욱 단단하게 가질 수 있음을 의미하며, 나아가 다제내성균에 대한 천연치료제로 유용하게 쓰일 수 있기를 기대한다.
