This paper aimed to increase the functionality and competitiveness of rice bran, which is used as an alternative food and cosmetic raw material, through fermentation. As a result of comparing the enzyme activity of 𝛼-amylase, CMCase, 𝛽-glucosidase, protease, etc. of fermented rice bran using standard strains with 6 strains with excellent enzyme activity among 50 strains of Saccharomycopsis fibuligera isolated from 5 types of Nuruk, A8 strain showed excellent enzyme activity of 13.7%, 21.1%, 50.3%, and 10.0% compared to the KCTC 7806 strain. As a result of the ABTS and DPPH tests as a result of fermentation, it was confirmed that rice bran fermented with A8 had 1.12 times and 1.28 times more antioxidant activity than rice bran fermented with KCTC 7806 strain. In this paper, it was possible to confirm the S. fibuligera A8 strain superior to the standard S. fibuligera strain KCTC 7806.

Brown rice was used as material for solid-substrate cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum. The hydration time with cold water appeared to be 10 hours for brown rice, but the final water content was much less than optimum water content(65%). Hot water reduced the hydration time of brown rice, and the water content reached to 65% within 40 mins. From this result, hot water was better than cold water for the hydration of brown rice. We attempted to develop a practically applicable process by combining the soaking and sterilization. The water content of 65% appeared to be the best for the growth of the fungi and production of glucosamine related to the amount of mycelium. The content of free sugar increased far more in brown rice fermented with mycelium than in brown rice which was not fermented. Addition was most suitable 20% when add mushroom-rice to brown rice.

In order to develop new soysauce using mountain edible herbs, cirsium setidens Nakai and comfrey were added to the raw material of soysauce as a partially substituting ingredient to wheat composing the total nitrogen. The changes of chemical composition of soysauce by the substitution of 1~5% cirsium setidens after four months of aging were similar to those of the control soysauce. On the other hand, total solid content was decreased, while the pH was increased by more than 7%. The total nitrogen and solid contents in the confrey substituted soysauce were increased with the increment of the amount of comfrey, but showed little changes of the pH. The mineral contents of calcium and potassium in the soysauce after four months of aging at 10% substitution of cirsium setidens were increased by 1.7 and 1.4 times, respectively. A significant increase in calcium(2.3 times as compared to the control) was also observed in 7% substitution of comfrey. The amino acid contents such as methionine, tyrosine and histidine were markedly increased at 3% substitution of cirsium setidens. With 5% substitution of comfrey, the contents of tyrosine, glutamic acid methionine were increased by 4.4, 1.8 and 1.7 times, respectively as compared to the control. The results of sensory evaluation revealed that overall acceptability of soysauce with 1~5% substitution of cirsium setidens and 5% of comfrey exceeded other samples composing different ratios of substituting ingredients.

We investigated the fermentation characteristics of yakju made with nuruk extracts. Alcoholic fermentation was performed in an incubator set at $25^{\circ}C$ for 14 days. The study results are as follows: the alcohol content of yakju made with modified nuruk (18.67%) was higher than that made with other nuruk extracts (14.80-17.50%). The pH value of this modified nuruk (4.13) was higher than that of traditional nuruk (3.70-4.00). The yakju containing modified nuruk showed the highest acidity (3.64 mL/10 mL), amino acidity (4.72 mL/10 mL), soluble solid ($1.20^{\circ}Bx$), and color difference (39.78). The concentration of organic acids in traditional nuruks was 212.25-312.97 mg/100 mL, whereas that in modified nuruk was 295.92 mg/100 mL. Nitrogen compound concentrations in modified nuruk (2285.89 mg/L) were 2-14 times higher than that in traditional nuruk. Nitrogen compound concentration and amino acidity are the physiochemical characteristics with the highest impact on off-flavor and browning of yakju. In order to reduce these unfavorable characteristics, material with a lower protein content should be used.

The anti-diabetic effect of green tea fermented by cheonggukjang was evaluated using KK-$A^y$ mice, an animal model of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Over a 90 day testing period, food and water intake decreased significantly in the group fed fermented green tea (FGT) and a group fed commercially available health functional food (PC), when compared with a diabetic control group (DC). The blood glucose levels of FGT mice were lower than in DC mice throughout the test period and were similar to the levels in PC after 60 days. Levels of Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and insulin resistance were lower in mice of the FGT group than in mice of the DC group. DNA microarray analysis showed that administration of FGT increased the abundance of 12 mRNA transcripts related to diabetes. Whereas FGT increased hexokinase transcripts related to glycolysis more than 37 fold, levels of Pdx1 (pancreatic and duodenal homeobox1) and Cacna1e (calcium channel) transcripts increased more than 1.8 fold.

Treatment effects of grape fruit stem extracts (GFSE) containing trans-resveratrol or fermented pollen (FP), and ethylene gas scavenging material (EGS) on the storage property of fresh jujube (Z izyphus jujuba forma hoonensis C.S. Yook) were investigated. Fresh jujubes were packed in different storage containers (PE film and Lock & Lock vessel), and treated with GFSE containing trans-resveratrol of 30 ppm or 1% FP, and EGS. The storage vessels were stored in refrigerator ($0{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) during 12 weeks, and then quality characteristics during storage period were analysed. Hardness slightly increased until 4 weeks and decreased afterward. Soluble solid ($^{\circ}Bx$) and total titratable acidity of fresh jujube slightly increased in all treatments during storage period. Vitamin C content of fresh jujube slightly decreased in all treatments during storage period. Number of microorganisms decreased until 4 weeks and increased afterward. The decay enzyme activity increased in all treatments during storage period. Storage stability was higher for PE film than Lock & Lock containers. Storage period of fresh jujube in this experiment ranges in $8{\sim}9$ weeks for maturity fruits treated with 30 ppm of GFSE and ethylene gas scavenging material.
