In order to select a superior yeast, 8 kinds of commercial active dry yeasts (Lalvin 1116, Lalvin 1118, Lalvin D-47, Lalvin Bourgovin, Parisienne, Fermivin, Red Star Monrachet, and Red Star Premier Cuvee) were utilized for omija wine fermentation. During fermentation, the physicochemical characteristics and sensory properties of the various omija wines were evaluated. According to the results, pH and titratable acidity were in ranges of 3.0-3.3% and 1.8-2.4%, respectively. Sugar content was $24^{\circ}Bx$ at early fermentation and changed to $8.4-10.2^{\circ}Bx$ at 24 days of fermentation. While the omija wines fermented by Lalvin D-47 and Red Star Premier Cuvee showed the highest alcohol contents (13.0%), the omija wine fermented by Parisienne showed the lowest alcohol content (10.8%). The omija wine fermented by Lalvin 1118 had an alcohol content of 12.0% and showed the lowest yeast count of 5.8 log CFU/mL. Hunter's values (L, a, and b) were all different among the 8 omija wines. Moreover, the omija wine fermented by Lalvin 1118 showed the highest scores for taste ($6.75{\pm}1.68$), swallowing ($6.65{\pm}1.50$), and overall acceptability ($6.70{\pm}1.34$). It is concluded that Lalvin 1118 was the best yeast among 8 tested commercial active dry yeasts, having a high potential for omija wine fermentation.

Kyejang is a Korean traditional beverage manufactured from medicinal plants and fruits using honey, sugar, or starch in cold water. In this study, cinnamon-containing kyejang, which is a type of beverage Jang, was reproduced based on Imwonsibyukji's method published in 1827 in the Korean literature. Kyejang made by nuruk, cinnamon, and medicinal plants was prepared at various temperatures and periods. Kyejang was assayed for physiochemical properties (pH and acidity), contents of metabolites (organic acids, sugars, and amino acids), and sensory characteristics (aroma and taste). During fermentation, content of organic acids (e.g. lactic acid, acetic acid, and shikimic acid) increased, which lowered pH, increased acidity, and increased intensity of sour taste. In the case of free sugars, fructose and maltose levels decreased while glucose and mannitol levels increased during fermentation periods, and sweetness decreased. The main amino acid in kyejang was tryptophan, followed by asparagine, proline, and arginine. The sensory evaluation score of overall preference was highest for kyejang which was fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. The results will be provide the basic data of fermentation conditions for standardized manufacturing process of kyejang.

For the effective use of under-utilized resources, silver-stripe round herring (SSRH), the boiled-dried SSRH was investigated on the food component and sensual characterization. Moisture content and salinity of the boiled-dried SSRH were 27.2% and 7.0%, respectively, which were in the range described in Korean Industrial Standards. In the lipid content of the boiled-dried SSRH, viscera was higher in viscera than muscle. The major fatty acids of the boiled-dried SSRH were 16:0 (23.9%), 18:1n-9 (9.5%), and 22:6n-3 (DHA, 28.5%). The degree of lipid oxidation of the boiled-dried SSRH was similar to that of the boiled-dried anchovy caught in the southern sea. When compared to the boiled-dried anchovies, the boiled-dried SSRH was lower in total content of amino acid, while was higher in calcium and phosphorus contents. The boiled-dried SSRH was higher in taste strength, while was similar in the taste pattern to the boiled-dried anchovies. According to the results of chemical components and sensory evaluation, the boiled-dried SSRH could be substituted for boiled-dried anchovy classified into special grade.

We developed watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad) wine to increase the market for the fruit, which is currently sold only in fresh form. The pH of watermelon wine was pH 2.8~3.4, the total acid level 0.48~0.55%, and the soluble solid $5{\sim}6^{\circ}brix$ alcohol content was 9.5~10.5%. Fermentation of watermelon juice was satisfactory at both 20C and 25C. All of citric acid, malic acid, and oxalic acid were detected in watermelon wine citric acid was the most abundant. All of glucose, fructose, sucrose, and maltose were present in juice, and both fructose and glucose were used in fermentation. Electron-donating ability (EDA) was high, being 80% of the control value when watermelon wine was diluted to $400\;{\mu}l/ml$. SOD-like activities were present in both watermelon juice and wine, being 55.2% and 49.2% of control values, respectively. Nitrite-scavenging ability (NSA) was 70.2% and 53.2% of control values in undiluted juice and wine, respectively. Watermelon juice showed higher activation than did wine, but functionality neither fell nor rose after fermentation. In sensory evaluation of wine, the overall score was better than average, at 4.15, thus establishing the commercial potential of watermelon wine.

Small black beans (SBB) were germinated up to 72 h at 23$^{\circ}C$, and 48 h germinated SBBs having the highest isoflavone content were chosen for noodle preparation. Some of the germinated SBB were treated by 20 min boiling (B) but some were not boiled (NB). For noodles, the germinated SBB flour replaced 15% or 20% of wheat flour, so five kinds of noodles were prepared and tested: control, 15B, 15NB, 20B, and 20NB. Higher amount of bean flour resulted in significant decrease of $L^*$ and increase of $b^*$ values in noodle. After 20 min cooking, the noodles containing germinated SBB flour showed less soluble sugar content in cooked water than control, and the lowest value was observed in 15B. For textural properties, the addition of SBB flour lowered hardness and adhesiveness of noodle, but increased chewiness than control. In sensory tests, the most acceptable sample was 15B because of developed texture and better appearance which seem to be good for health.

Fish-frames which are left after obtaining fillets or muscle during fish processing, consist of useful food components such as muscle, collagen, calcium, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This study was carried out to prepare snack using flatfish frame and also to elucidate food component characterization of the snack. The results of heavy metal and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content suggested that flatfish frame was a suitable material for preparing snack. The optimal addition ratio of flatfish frame to mix was 3% for preparing snack according to the results of VBN content, water activity and sensory evaluation. The major fatty acids of the snack with 3% flatfish frame (SFF) were 16:0 and 18:0 as saturates, 18:1n-9+7 as monoenes, and 18:2n-6 and 18:3n-3 as polyenes, while EPA and DHA were contained in small amount SFF. Total amino acid content (9,281.9 mg/100 g) of the SFF was higher than that of the snack without flatfish frame (7,791.3 mg/100 g) and the major amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, proline and leucine. The calcium and phosphorus contents of SFF were 492.3 mg/100 g and 270.3 mg/100 g, respectively. The Ca/P of SFA was 1.82 which is a good ratio for the absorption of calcium. The SFF was superior in total amino acid, calcium and phosphorus contents compared to the snack without flatfish frame.

This study was conducted to prepare healthy vinegars using the mycelia of various mushrooms (Cordyceps militaris, Phellinus baumi, Pleurotus cornucopiae, and Ganoderma lucidum). Analyses of the bioactive components of these vinegars revealed that those prepared using mushroom mycelial cultures on fermented brown rice had increased bioactive component levels compared to those cultured on unfermented brown rice. The highest beta-glucan contents (78.7 mg/g) were found in P. baumi cultures and 0.34mg/g of cordycepin was detected in C. militaris cultures. Regarding the chemical properties of these mushroom mycelia vinegars (MMVs), those prepared using C. militaris and P. cornucopiae cultures showed higher acidity and reduced sugar content. Sensory assessments of C. militaris and P. cornucopiae MMVs yielded scores of 7.3 and 6.6, respectively. Analyses of bioactive components revealed that C. militaris MMV contained high levels of polyphenols and 786 mg/L of cordycepin. P. cornucopiae MMV contained the highest amount of beta-glucan (20.9 mg/g).
