Yeasts play an important role in spontaneous fermentation of traditional alcoholic beverages. Our previous study revealed that a mixed-consortia of both Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeasts were responsible for fermentation of khadi, a popular, non-standardized traditional beverage with an immense potential for commercialization in Botswana. Functional characterization of isolated fermenting yeasts from mixed consortia is an indispensable step towards the selection of potential starter cultures for commercialization of khadi. In this study, we report the characterization of 13 khadi isolates for the presence of brewing-relevant phenotypes such as their fermentative capacity, ability to utilize a range of carbon sources and their ability to withstand brewing-associated stresses, as a principal step towards selection of starter cultures. Khadi isolates such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomycodes ludwigii and Candida ethanolica showed good brewing credentials but Lachancea fermentati emerged as the isolate with the best brewing attributes with a potential as a starter culture. However, we were then prompted to investigate the potential of L. fermentati to influence the fruity aromatic flavor, characteristic of khadi. The aroma components of 18 khadi samples were extracted using headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) and identified using a GC-MS. We detected esters as the majority of volatile compounds in khadi, typical of the aromatic signature of both khadi and L. fermentati associated fermentations. This work shows that L. fermentati has potential for commercial production of khadi.

Kombucha beverages were made from sweetened tea by Oriental, European and Tibetan tea fungus starters. The hot water extracts o green tea, black tea, Gugija and Omija were mixed with white and/or brown sugar, and were fermented under a static culture at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Titrable acidity, pH, color and cellulose production in kombucha beverages were evaluated. All tea fungus starters showed a higher acid production in green/black tea extracts rather than Gugija and Omija extracts. In green/black tea extracts Oriental tea fungus produced a kombucha beverage with a higher titrable acidity and lower pH than those of European and Tibetan tea fungus starters. By the static fermentation of green/black tea extract for 18 days, Oriental, Tibetan and European tea fungus starters produced cellulose pellicles of 0.43g, 0.16g, and 0.19 g (dry weight) on the top in the culture, respectively. As a mother starter, the cellulose pellicle was more efficient in acid production compared with tea fungus broth. Oriental/Tibetan mixed tea fungus showed the best acid production in the green/black tea extract supplemented with brown sugar.

A multiplex competitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed for the rapid identification and quantification of Leuconostoc mesnteroides and Lactobacillus plantarum populations which are the key microorganisms in kimchi fermentation. The strain-specific primers were designed to selectively amplify the target genes encoding 165 rRNA of L. plantarum and dextransucrase of L. mesenteroides. There was a linear relationship between the band intensity of PCR products and the number of colony forming units of each model organism. The PCR quantification method was compared with a traditional plate-counting method f3r the enumeration of the two lactic acid bacteria in a mixed suspension culture and also applied to a real food system, namely, watery kimchi. The population dynamics of the two model organisms in the mixed culture were reliably predictable by the competitive PCR analysis.

일반 상법으로 제조되는 코오지, 즉 밀 또는 대두에 A. oryzae만으로 제조하는 코오지에 Cordyceps sp.를 첨가하여 코오지의 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. A. oryzae만으로 제조하는 코오지에 Cordyceps sp.를 일정량 혼합 첨가하여 제국하여 생균수 및 포자수를 측정한 결과 48시간까지 급격히 증가했다. 이후 생균수 및 곰팡이의 포자수의 유의할만한 변화를 볼 수 없어 제국시간을 48시간 전후로 조정하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 amylase 및 protease등의 효소역가를 측정한 결과 Cordyceps sp.를 첨가한 코오지가 Cordyceps sp.를 첨가하지 않은 코오지보다 효소역가가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 제국이 끝난 코오지에 대하여 맛, 향 및 색깔에 대하여 관능검사를 실시한 결과 A. oryzae와 Cordyceps sp.를 각각 0.5％(w/w)를 혼합 참가한 것이 더 좋게 나타났다.

본 실험은 음식물류 폐기물을 돼지발효사료로 만들기 위해 공기주입과 보조용양원으로 돼지혈분의 이용에 대해 알아보았다. 발효용 종모균주로는 돼지의 내장에서 분리한 유산균인 Lactobacillus brevis와 딸기에서 분리한 효모인 Saccharomyces cerevisiae가 이용되었다. 배지원료로는 당밀과 유청이 효모엑스와 함께 사용되었다. 실험결과 공기주입은 생균수를 높여주었고 사멸기를 저지하는 효과를 보였다. 보조 영양원으로 돈혈분이 효모엑스를 대치할 경우에도 생균수의 변화는 거의 없었다. 종모발효액은 상온에서 저장할 경우 1주일간 Lactobacillus brevis와 Saccharomyces cerevisiae생균수가 모두 8 log cfu/mL대를 유지했다. 종모발효액이 음식물류 폐기물과 혼합될 경우 이틀 뒤부터는 잡균이 증가되기 시작했으나 5일 이내에는 E.coli가 검출되지 않았다.

Starter cultures were developed for the extension of the shelf life of bread. Lactobacillus plantarum and Bifidoacterium longum were selected as the mixed culture with Propionibacterium freudenreichii. P. fredenreichii with B. longum and L. plantarum produced 2.261% and 1.715% total acid, and pH value of cultured solutions was near 3.95. Propionic acid was produced 14 ~16 mg/ml by P. freudenreichii with L. plantarum and B. longum during 17 days, which was more than that of L. brevis. The pH values of the bread were 4.83 and 4.89 in respect to B. longum and L. plantarum when the fermented products were used to make the bread. Mold was not found for 10 days of storage of the bread at room temperature when the fermented products of B. longum were used for making bread. 37$^{\circ}C$, pH 6.0 and the lowest agitation were optimum conditions for the production of propionic acid in the scaled up fermentation.

The microalgae, Microcystis aeruginosa are able to proliferate in a wide range of freshwater ecosystem. M. aeruginosa was cultivated in 25 L and 240 L race-way reactor containing modified medium with added urea 0.2 g/L, increased $Fe^{+2}$, and decreased $Ca^{+2}$ion compared to BG11 medium. Sugar contents of M. aeruginosa grown in BG11 medium, and modified medium were 120 mg/mL and 140 mg/mL respectively. Fermentation was conducted with the extract of M. aeruginosa at $30^{\circ}C$ for 30 h, using Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc), Pichia stipitis (Ps), Zymomonas mobilis (Zm), and mixed-culture of these strains (Sc + Ps + Zm). Pichia stipitis (0.7%) was found to be more suitable for producing bioalcohol from M. aeruginosa extract than other strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (0.45%) and Zymomonas mobilis (0.61%), while mixed-cultured of these strains showed higest productivity by 1.75%. Biomass of M. aeruginosa contains the potency to be the most renewable resource for bioalcohol fermentation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical contents (sugar, nitrogen, and amino acids) and sensory characteristics of traditional soy sauce according to three different methods. The samples were taken from four different periods (0, 20, 40, and 60 days after fermentation). Total sugar contents increased in all groups according to ripening period, and Gyupjang (G) showed the highest sugar content among the groups. Total nitrogen and amino acid contents of all groups increased after 60 days of ripening, and Gyupjang (G) and Gyupjang mixed with salt water (SG) had higher total nitrogen content compared to Chungjang (S) at the same period. The results from the sensory evaluation show that preferable sensory characteristics, such as color preferences, sweetness, umami taste, and overall preference, were significantly higher in Gyupjang (G) and Gyupjang mixed with salt water (SG) than in Chungjang (S). Preferable sensory characteristics had significantly high positive correlation with most amino acids, total nitrogen, and sugar contents, except for glutamine. Based on the significant difference in preferable sensory characteristics between Gyupjang mixed with salt water (SG) and Chungjang (S), Gyupjang mixed with salt water (SG) can be used to improve sensory characteristics. This research implies that adding salt water during the manufacturing Gyupjang process is advisable to yield high quality soy sauce.

Sacchasomyces uvarum과 Lactobacillus acidophilus를 두유에서 단독 및 혼합배양하였을때 산생성에 미치는 조건은 검토하였다. 접종비율에 의한 산생성은 L. acidophilus와 S. uvarum의 접종비가 2 : 1일때 가장 높은 산도를 보였으며 배양시간은 16시간부터 높은 산도를 유지하였다. 배양온도는 $37^{\circ}C$가 가장 좋았으며 두유에 sucrose를 첨가하여 단독배양하면 산생성의 증가는 없었으나 혼합배양한 결과 산도가 증가하였다. Sucrose 2%와 skim milk 3%를 첨가하여 혼합배양하면 두유만을 사용하여 혼합배양한 것에 비하여 약4배의 산생성 증가를 보였다. S. uvarum의 두유 배양여액을 열처리하지 않고 두유에 첨가하여 L. acidophilus를 단독배양하면 단독배양만으로도 높은 산생성을 보여주었으나 열처리한 배양여액이 첨가된 두유에 L. acidophilus를 단독배양하면 산생성의 증가가 전혀 나타나지 않았다.
