Morphologically different 18 strains were isolated and examined for their abilities to inhibit ACE. Those strains were cultured in the medium containing 10% of soybean extract at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 48hr or fermented with boiled soybean at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. The concentration of inhibitors to inhibit 50% of ACE activity, $IC_{50}$ was measured on the culture broth of each strain and also on the hot-water extract from 20, 40 and 60 day fermented Doenjang by each strain. As a result, SCB-3 which is isolated from Meju showed the highest ACE inhibitoryactivity on the cultured broth and 40 day matured Doenjang. Then, $IC_{50}$ of SCB-3 was 0.02 mg/ml and 0.26mg/ml respectively. SCB-3 was identified as a Bacillus subtilis based upon its morphological, biochemical and physiological properties. Changes in general components and ACE inhibitory activity of Doenjang fermented by SCB-3 were examined during 90 days. Total acidity of Doenjang was increased from 1.39% to 1.66% and pH was decreased from 6.02 to 5.79 after 90 days fermentation. Total sugar contents were decreased from 16.4% to 15.1% and reducing sugar contents was also decreased from 2.45% to 1.62%. Total nitrogen contents were nearly not changed, but amino nitrogen contents were drastically increased from 196mg% to 541mg%. The numbers of total microorganism were increased to 1.1$\times$$10^{8}$ cells/g after 45 days. Protease activity was increased to 622.1U/g after 75 days. The highest ACE inhibitory activity was shown in 60 day fermented Doenjang and $IC_{50}$ of the hot-water extract was 0.31mg/ml.

The objectives of this research were to evaluate antioxidant activities and nutritional components, including phenolic acid, catechin, organic acid, sugar, and amino acid, of persimmon juice from persimmons grown in different regions around Korea. Persimmon (Diospyros kaki) exhibits potent antioxidant effects in DPPH, ABTS, reducing power, and FRAP methods of analysis. The levels of nutritional constituents showed significant differences among all the samples. In particular, tartaric acid, glucose, gallic acid, epicatechin gallate and aspartic acid were observed to be the predominant component for each of their general chemical groups, with total average contents of 1876.51 mg/kg, 62.69 g/kg, 12.73 mg/kg, 208.99 mg/kg, and 31.84 mg/100 g, respectively. Interestingly, persimmons from the Hadong region presented the highest sugar (130.60 g/kg), phenolic acid (42.27 mg/kg), and catechin (527.97 mg/kg) contents in comparison with other regional samples. Moreover, this location exhibited the greatest antioxidant activity with highest total phenolic (298.01 mg GAE/kg) and flavonoid (32.11 mg/kg RE) contents. Our results suggest that strong antioxidant activities of persimmons correlate with high phenolic acid and catechin contents, particularly gallic acid and epicatechin gallate. Additionally, these two compounds may be key factors when considering the useful ingredients of persimmon.

To make sure of the usefulness of extract of Rubus coreanus Miquel for producing functional feeding honey, we compared some antioxidative indicators of feeding honey using extract of Rubus coreanus Miquel with acacia honey, SueBee Clover honey(USA), feeding honey on the market. The water content of four honeys were 16.6~26.5%, pH were 3.18~3.70, and titratable acidity ranged 0.018~0.022%. The phenolic compound contents of SueBee Clover honey and feeding honey using extract of Rubus coreanus Miquel were 8.3 mg/100 g and 7.3 mg/100 g, respectively, and were significaltly higher thgheacacia honey and feeding honey on the market. The flavonoid contents per 100 g of honey ranged from 2.3 mg(acacia honey) to 15.0 mg(SueBee Clover honey). DPPH anion scavenging activity of four honeys were not high. 0.5~2.0 g/ml of feeding honey using extract of Rubus coreanus Miquel was 16~36% and showed a concentration-reliant figure. At the concentration of 0.25~0.75 mg/ml, the reducing power of four honeys increased concentration-dependently, and the power of 0.25 mg/ml of feeding honey using extract of Rubus coreanus Miquel was corresponding to thgt of $150{\mu}g$/ml of a vitamin C solution. ABTS radical scavenging activity of feeding honey using extract of Rubus coreanus Miquel was 43.3~68.4%; the highest activity amongst all samples. When plotting the dose-response curve, ABTS radical scavenging activity also increased as their concentration increased from 62.5 mg/ml to 500 mg/ml. The heat treatment reduced the phenolic compound contents of acacia honey and feeding honey using extract of Rubus coreanus DPPH anion scavenging activity of feeding honey on the market and feeding honey using extract of Rubus coreanus Miquel did not changed significaltly after heating for 20 min, and the three honey except SueBee Clover honey maintained the reducing power with the same treatment.

Quality characteristics such as alcohol, acid, and sugar contents of takju brewing mashes prepared using several yeasts were investigated during 12-days of fermentation. Among the yeasts examined, S. cerevisiae led to the highest level of ethanol (10.2-13.4%) and total minor alcohols (0.729-0.831 mg/mL). Regardless of the yeasts used, the acidity showed drastic changes (pH from 3.4-4.2 down to 2.4-2.7) during the first 2 days, and displayed negligible changes from day 4. The total acid contents rapidly increased to the first 4 days of fermentation and leveled off from 4 to the end of fermentation period. The common organic acid components were lactic, succinic and acetic acids. The total and reducing sugar contents varied depending on the yeasts used, with mashes prepared using S. coreanus and S. rouxii producing the maximum total sugar contents (5.43-5.5%) at the end of fermentation. The reducing sugar showed its maximum (7.53-14.89%) at day 2, after which it decreased to its minimum levels (3.04-4.52%). The common free sugar components were glucose and fructose, while S. ellipsoideus led to a higher free sugar level (0.35-5.29%).

To investigate the effect of reciprocal grafting between Hyangchio (H) and L. A. Burley 21 (L.A), one a higher producer of nicotine and low yield, the other, a low producer of nicotine and high yield, growth of various parts of each variety and chemical constituents of these parts were evaluated. The results were as follows : The growth of H/H graft was depressed when compared to hyangchio and H/L. A. and L. A. Burley 21 showed most vigorous growth plants having L. A. Burley 21 top. The amount of total alkaloids were low in leaves and stems of plants having L. A. Burley 21 roots (L. A., L. A./L. A., H/L. A.). Plants having Hyangchio roots (H, L. A./H) were high in total alkaloids. The contents of reducing sugar were high in plant having Hyangchio top compared to L. A. Burley 21 tops, but there were not diffences in contents of ether extracts among all treatments.

A bulk curing experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of air flow reduction in the bulk barn from color fixing stage in the chemical properties of cured leaves, The air flow was controlled by reducing air velocity of a blower from 0.3m/sec to 0.2m/sec using a boltage regulator(Slidac). The bulk curing before color fixing stage was processed in the conventional curing method. Reduction of air circulation in bulk barn did not affected so much on change of the contents of the main chemical components in cured leaved, such as nicotine, total sugar, total nitrogen, petroleum ether extract, and organic acids. Only a slight increase in essential oil contents, such as solanone, damascenone, damascone, $\beta$-ionone, and megastigmatrienone isomer, could be observed in leaves cured in the reduced air flow.

Takjoo mashes which were collected from the Takjoo breweries in Seoul area were studied on the purpose of detection for the reciprocal actions between amylase activity and saccharifying ability. The results obtained are as follows. Amylase activity was found to be usually high in the primary brewing process as well as the main brewing process. And especially, .alpha.-amylase in the primary brewing process showed remarkably high activity, more than 5.0 D.P. per/ml of mash comparing with 3.8 D.P. per ml of mash in the main brewing process. However, it was revealed that the reducing sugar contents in the primary brewing process were much higher in its average contents, 5.5%, than 1.1% in the main brewing process.
