Fermentative hydrogen production by Citrobacter sp. Y 19 was investigated in batch culture. Optimal hydrogen production activity was observed at pH 6 - 7 and temperature of $36^{\circ}C$, and hydrogen yield and maximal hydrogen production rate were 1.12 mmol/mmol glucose and 32.3 mmol/g cell${\cdot}$h, respectively. With glucose as a substrate, the bacterium produced ethanol, acetate, and carbon dioxide as major glucose fermentation by-products. Y19 could utilize various sugars such as galactose, fructose, lactose, sucrose, and starch for cell growth and hydrogen production.

We have selected an valuable pmbiotic strain; Lactobacillus sakei BK19 which has wide antagonic spectrum against fish pathogens . Present study investigated cultural characterization of L. sakei BK19 including pH tolerance , susceptibility of antibacterial agents and growth pattern with different environment such as nutritions, temperature and salinity. L. sakei BK19 showed Significantly higher resistance at low pH(around pH 4) environment and relative high antibiotic tolerance . In the study of optimal culture condition, maltose and saccharose provided the optimal nutritional culture condition while lactose and mannitol were unable to supply its carbon source for the fermentation of L. sakei BK19. Moreover. L. sakei BK19 showed good growth at the temperature range of 15 to $45^{o}C$ und the NaCl concentration of 0 to 7%. Hence, this particular probiotic strain may be benificial both in seawater and fresh weter conditions.

Samhaeju is a traditional Korean noble rice wine, in which its processing is performed at low temperatures for an extended fermentation time and with three brewing steps. In this study, Samhaeju was prepared by different brewing methods that were modified from the method in the literature. Chemical composition of samples were determined to evaluate the quality of the Samhaeju. The Samhaeju was analyzed for pH, total acids, amino nitrogen, Hunter color values, free sugars, organic acids, and volatile components. Before the addition of the second and third mashing, pH values had decreased slightly and total acids had rapidly increased. Free sugar and amino nitrogen contents were high in final product. After addition of the third mashing as the advanced step, a dilution effect was shown. Glucose (A: 0.77-7.0%, B: 0.77-3.81%) was a major free sugar, and lactic acid (A: 0-2,840mg%, B: 0-3,375mg%) was a major organic acid during the entire period of fermentation. Based on principal component analysis of electronic nose data for the components, the stages of Samhaeju fermentation were primarily separated along the first principal component (PC, proportion : 98.67%). The first PC component (PC1) was moved from negative value(-6.16) to positive value(9.00) with increasing fermentation time. The change patterns for pH and total acid during the fermentation period were similar to those of PC1 from the data obtained by electronic nose based on mass spectrometry.

Biologically active substances including gamma-aminobutryric acid (GABA) were added into whey by co fermentation using Bacillus subtilis HA and Lactobacillus plantarum EJ2014. The first fermentation using B. subtilis HA with 5% monosodium glutamate (MSG) and 2% glucose enhanced the production of poly-${\gamma}$-glutamic acid (PGA), resulting in higher consistency of $4.09Pas^n$ as well as whey protein peptides. After the second fermentation using L. plantarum EJ2014, the remaining MSG (3.40%) as a precursor was completely converted to 2.21% GABA. Furthermore, the lactose content in whey decreased from 6.73 to 3.68% after co-fermentation, and the tyrosine content increased from 20.47 to 38.24%. Peptides derived of whey proteins were confirmed by SDS-PAGE. Viable cell counts of B. subtilis and L. plantarum were 5.83 log CFU/mL and 9.20 log CFU/mL, respectively. Thus, co-fermentation of whey could produce the novel food ingredient fortified with biologically active compounds including GABA, ${\gamma}$-PGA, peptides, and probiotics.

Production of biomass by fed-batch culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hansen CBS5926, which is used to treat intestinal disorders, was investigated using ethanol as the sole carbon source. Ethanol was a better carbon source than glucose for high cell density culture of the st-rain since it could decrease the frequency of contamination while increasing the efficiency and final productivity of the fermentation process. Under optimal conditions, 38 g/ℓ of dry cell weight with $2.2{\times}10^{9}$ cfu/㎖ of maximum viable cell count was achieved after 72h cultivation. Freeze-drying of the cultured yeast cells resulted in severe reduction of viability. Of the freeze-drying protectants tested, 20% sucrose and 30% lactose were most effective for the preservation of yeast cells with a viability level of 16.3%. A combination of skim milk and lactose with 20% sucrose(w/v) exerted no synergistic influence upo the viability of the cells during cryopreservation by freeze-drying.

Growth characteristics of six lactic acid bacteria in whey-soy milk mixtures were investigated to obtain basic informations for processing cheese-like product by coprecipitation of whey and soy proteins. Streptococcus cremoris and Lactobacillus acidophilus produced more aicd than other lactic acid bacteria both in whey-soy milk mixture and in soy milk. Lactic acid fermentation was accelerated in whey-soy milk mixture than in soy milk with all the lactic aicd bacteria, and specially with S. lactis and S. cremoris in great extent. The number of viable cell of 1:1 mixed culture of S. lactis and S. cremoris in whey soy milk mixture was about 10 times than in soymilk. It was mainly the effect of lactose in the whey that increased the acid production by lactic aicd bacteria in whey-soy milk mixture although the degree of acceleration depended on the ability of microorganism to use carbohydrates. The optimum amount of lactose added to soy milk to accelerate the acid production was 0.8g/100ml soy milk.

Cultural conditions for the production of extracellar $\beta$-galactosidase by Loctobacillus sporogenes, a spore forming lactic acid bacterium, were investigated with shaken flask and jar fermenter cultures. The fermentation medium giving maximum $\beta$-galactosidase yield was found to consist of 1 % lactose as a carbon source, 1.5% peptone as an organic nitrogen source. 0.2% ammonium sulfate as an inorganic nitrogen source, 0.8% ammonium phosphate dibasic as a phosphorus source, and 0.05% potassium chloride and 0.001% ferric chloride as mineral source. Optimal initial pH of the medium was 7.0 and the highest enzyme excretion was observed after 40 hours of cultivation at 37$^{\circ}C$. In this experiment, the 500$m\ell$ conical flask containing 50-200$m\ell$ of medium was shaken at 140 strokes per minute with 7cm amplitude in a reciprocating shaker. The maximum enzyme value attained was 38 U/$m\ell$ of the culture broth which was found to be slightly higher than the highest intermolecular enzyme activity (30 U/$m\ell$) observed after 24 hours of incubation. In the fermentor culture, the fermentation profile was shown to be similar to that observed in the shaken flask experiment. But the maximum extracellular enzyme activity was 45 U/$m\ell$ to be even higher than the value obtained with the shaken flask culture.

Kefir, which originates in the Caucasian mountains, is a cultured milk beverage produced by a combination of acidic and alcoholic fermentation. Kefir products are commonly used as food vehicles to deliver health-promoting materials including kefran and lactic acid bacteria to consumers. The aim of this study was to develop a freeze-dried starter culture without yeast and assess the suitability of kefir-like dairy products for the growth of lactic acid bacteria and the acidification of milk. Pasteurized whole milk (SNF 8.5%) stored at $25^{\circ}C$ was aseptically inoculated with starter cultures (0.002% w/v); it was kept at $25^{\circ}C$ until the pH attained a value of 4.6. Ten grams of the kefir-like product sample was diluted with 90 mL of 0.15% peptone water diluent in a milk dilution bottle, followed by uniform mixing for 1 min. Viable cells of Lactobacillus species were enumerated on modified-MRS agar (pH 5.2), with incubation at $37^{\circ}C$ for 48 h. Viable cells of Lactococcus species were enumerated on M17-lactose agar, with incubation at $32^{\circ}C$ for 48 h. The pH attained a value of 4.6 after fermentation for 9 h 30 min (Starter 1), 9 h 45 min (Starter 2), and 12 h (Starter 3). The viable cell count of Lactobacillus sp. and Lactococcus sp. was initially $10^5{\sim}10^6CFU/g$; it increased significantly to $10^9CFU/g$ after 12 h of incubation. During the storage of the kefir-like products at $4^{\circ}C$ for 1 4 days, the total viable cell numbers were unchanged, but the pH decreased slightly. The consistency of the kefir products increased gradually during the storage. The organoleptic properties of the kefir products fermented using the new starter culture are more desirable than those of commercial kefir. These results suggest that the newly developed starter culture without yeast could be suitable for kefir fermentation.

Selection of yeast strains, optimum conditions for alcohol fermentation, sterilization methods, and additives for improving wine quality were investigated to manufacture watermelon wine. Eight yeast strains exhibited significant alcohol fermentation, among which KWS 06 was selected for watermelon wine fermentation, because watermelon wine made by this strain showed the best overall acceptability in sensory evaluation. Sucrose was determined as the best saccharide for alcohol fermentation among sucrose, corn syrup, glucose, fructose, and lactose. Optimum concentration of soluble solid and $(NH_{4})_{2}HPO_{4}$ of nitrogen source were $24^{\circ}Brix and 0.2%, respectively. Addition of raspberries and omija increased wine flavor and alcohol production, respectively, with optimum alcohol production, taste, and color achieved with addition of 20 g/L raspberries and 10 g/L omija. Best sensory quality was obtained by addition of 0.04 % watermelon flavorant to the juice.

This study attempted to find an efficient method for the preparation of high-purity galactooligosaccharides (HP-GOS) using ${\beta}$-galactosidase and yeast fermentation. GOS prepared using Lactozym 3000L showed the greatest enhancement in total GOS of the six ${\beta}$-galatosidases tested. GOS alone achieved 51% conversion of initial lactose. GOS production was enhanced by fermentation with commercial yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae); its concentration reached 71% after 36h fermentation with 8% yeast. Component sugar analysis with HPLC indicated that HP-GOS fermented with S. cerevisiae showed significantly increased levels of 4'/6'-galactosyllactose and total GOS as well as a significantly decreased glucose level. HP-GOS facilitated the growth of Lactobacillus sp. (L. acidophilus and L. casei) and Bifidobacterium sp. (B. longum and B. bifidum). In sum, high-purity GOS has been successfully produced through both an enzymatic process and yeast fermentation. GOS encourages the growth of bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium that may be beneficial to human gastrointestinal health.
