The Rubus coreanus Miquel concentrate was added in 0 (control), 10, 20, 30, and 40% substitution ratios by weight per sugar. The specific gravity and water content in pound cake batter tended to increase specific gravity according to the added Rubus coreanus Miquel concentrate. The volume, weight, and specific loaf volume in pound cake tended to decrease by according to the addition Rubus coreanus Miquel concentrate. Moisture contents in pound cake tended to increase long the addition Rubus coreanus Miquel concentrate. Brix and pH also decreased. 'L' and 'b' along with the increase in 'a' values were followed in proportion to the substitution ratio. Typical textural parameters like hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were increased in proportion to the substitution ratios, but springiness decreased. Adhesiveness and cohesiveness did not show any considerable differences between the pound cakes. The sensory evaluation showed a high preference for pound cake made with 30% Rubus coreanus Miquel concentrate.

The possible use of milk factory waste water as fermentation media for the production of citric acid by cells of Aspergillus niger ATCC 9142 has been investigated. The addition of $Mn^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$ to a medium promoted the citric acid production steadily, but addition of another metal ion $Mg^{2+}$decreased the citric acid production. The concentrations of citric acid were marked up to 7.2g/1 and 16.5g/l in a batch bioreactor by A. niger ATCC 9142 with 50g/1 and 100g/l of reducing sugar concentration in milk factory waste water, respectively.

The flow properties of sulfated polysaccharides purified from the ascidian Halocynthia roretzi tunic were investigated. The sulfated polysaccfarides produced aqueous solutions of low apparent viscosity with pseudoplastic flow behavior. The respective activation energies of TCA-treated and TCA-nontreated solutions were $2.2248{\times}10^4\;and\;1.442{\times}10^4J/kg{\cdot}mol$ at a 150L/s shear rate. The viscosity of the sulfated polysaccharides solution was increased by the addition of sugar, while it was not changed by the addition of NaCl.

RNA accumulating strain of Torulopsis versatilis MT-1 was cultured in molasses medium for higher contents of RNA in cell. Yeast cells were harvested at logarithmic phase on synchronous culture. Yield of cells on dry base to input sugar was 59.5%. Crude protein content was 55.1% in cell. RNA content was 13.9%. Some problems found in the process for the preparation of yeast extracts were improved by the addition of culture broth of Streptomyces faecalis MSF which secrete RNase (5' nuclease and 5' adenylic acid deaminase). When the culture broth of S. faecalis MSF was added in autolysis process 46% of RNA in cell was converted to I and G(5' inosinic acid and 5' guanylic acid) in extract. By addition of 3-7% culture broth of S.faecalis MSF in autolysis or enzymolysis process at the start or early stage, RNA in extract was converted easily to I and G and protein in cells was easily extracted and hydrolyzed to amino acid. Taste of those yeast extracts was delicious. The yeasty smell in yeast extracts was removed. And cell debris was easily removed from extract.

The objective of this study was to assess the characteristics of Sikhe prepared with Astragalus membranaceus water extracts. The pH of the Sikhe increased with increasing amounts of the added extract. The L value (Lightness) decreased with increasing extract content, whereas the a and b values increased with increasing amounts of extracts. The saccharinity of the Sikhe also increased with increasing amounts of the extract. The microbial cell counts of the Sikhe samples presented no distinct differences in the early storage period, but the total microbial cell counts decreased with increasing concentrations of the extract over a longer storage period. Adding the extract did not affect the sensory characteristics of the Sikhe. Thus, according to our results, the addition of Astragalus membranaceus water extract has no impact on the sensory characteristics of Sikhe and can reduce the amount of added sugar. In addition, these results indicate Astragalus membranaceus may inhibit normal microbial growth and extend the shelf life of Sikhe.

Factors affecting the production of bacterial cellulose and organic acids in Kombucha fermentation were investigated. Kombucha was obtained by the fermentation (for 12 days at 3$0^{\circ}C$) of the green/black tea extract, supplemented with 10% white sugar, using an Oriental tea fungus as starter. Hitgher initial pH increased acid production with decreased cellulose production. With a cellulose pellicle or tea fungus broth as a starter, a 1~3 mm thick cellulose layer developed as a top layer every four days, and was removed subsequently while continuing fermentation. Addition of 30 mL tea fungus broth (13%, v/v) in Kombucha fermentation resulted in maximum production of a cellulose pellicle, indicating weak acid production. Yield of cellulose production at an early stage of fermentation was also higher when Kombucha was inoculated with a cellulose pellicle. In fact, addition of 1% (v/v) alcoholic beverage in the Kombucha fermentation activated the cellulose production, coupled with four times higher acid production.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of beef bone extracts on the organoleptic quality and fermentation of Baeck Kimchi. For this study, the organoleptic characteristics of Baeck Kimchi, with addition beef bone extracts were tested, and the changes in the fermentation factors, such as pH, acidity, reducing sugar and total microbial count, were observed during fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$ and 20$^{\circ}C$. Greater amounts of lipids and soluble nitrogen were extracted to increasing the boiling time for the preparation of the beef bone extracts. However, 1% of the mixed beef bone extracts, prepared by boiling for 5, 7 and 9 hours, was the most acceptable for the Baeck Kimchi fermentation, as assessed from the results of sensory consumer tests. The beef bone extracts enhanced the umami taste of the unfermented Baeck Kimchi. The carbonated taste, sourness and fresh flavor of the fermented Baeck Kimchi were also enhanced. The fermentation rate was increased by the addition of beef bone extracts to Baeck Kimchi.

This paper analyzes phenolic compounds, carbon isotopes, and sugar components of whiskys based on the maturation period. For this, the paper considers a total of 40 whiskys(mainly imports) distributed in Korea. It is important to analyze the presence phenolic compounds(e.g., furfural, syringaldehyde, vanillin, syringic acid, and vanillic acid) because these are found only in whiskys ripened in oak. The results indicate that the total content of phenolic compounds increased with the increase in the storage period regardless of the type of whisky. In terms of vanillin/syringaldehyde(V/S), Scotch whiskys had 0.4~0.5; American whiskies, 0.30~0.34; and Canadian whiskies, 0.31~0.33. In terms of Scotch whiskys, Macallan had 0.25~0.34, making it unique among Scotch whiskys. In terms of the ratio of carbon isotopes, there were clear differences between malt Scotch whiskys, blended Scotch grain whiskys, American whiskys, and Canadian whiskys: -23.4~ -24.3, -16.8~-21.0, -11.0~-11.5 and -9.5~13.9, respectively. In addition, malt Scotch whiskys contained 40~230 $mg/{\ell}$ of fructose; blended Scotch whiskys, 20~120 $mg/{\ell}$; American whiskys, 50~70 $mg/{\ell}$; and Canadian whiskys, 20~100 $mg/{\ell}$, demonstrating that the fructose content of single-malt whiskys was twice the average fructose content. On the other hand, malt Scotch whiskys contained 30~170 $mg/{\ell}$ of glucose; blended Scotch whiskys, 20~120 $mg/{\ell}$; American whiskys, 20~30 $mg/{\ell}$; and Canadian whiskys, 10~110 $mg/{\ell}$, demonstrating that the glucose content of single-malt whiskys exceeded the average glucose content. This study's results can be used as a database of classification for whiskys based on the fermentation of raw ingredients and the period of maturation for distinguishing between different types of whiskys. In addition, the results can facilitate the verification of genuine whiskys by allowing for the identification of different types of whiskys based on the period of maturation.

Diets with foliage of Flemingia (Flemingia macrophylla) or Jackfruit (Artocapus heterophyllus were fed to goats with the objective to study nitrogen (N) balance and effect of a daily supplementation of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on intake and digestion. In experiment 1, three male Alpine${\times}$Jamnapary goats with initial weights varying from 26.9 to 27.7 kg were used in a $3{\times}3$ Latin square design in the dry season. Three Alpine${\times}$Bachthao crosses, 15.3-16.7 kg, were used in the same design in the wet season. The three diets were based on chopped whole sugar cane complemented with the two green foliages, Jackfruit and Flemingia, or soybean meal (SBM). The level of dry matter (DM) offered was 4% of body weight (BW), 2.7% as foliage and 1.3% as chopped whole sugar cane. The amount of SBM offered was calculated to give the same amount of crude protein (CP) as the foliages. Each experimental period lasted 32 days (14 days for adaptation, 7 days for collection and 10 days for rest). Feed intake, apparent digestibility of DM, organic matter (OM), CP, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) and retained nitrogen (N) were measured by total faecal and urine collection. In experiment 2, four male goats (Alpine${\times}$Jamnapary) with initial weights from 17.1 to 23.1 kg were used in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design. The four treatments were Jackfruit or Flemingia with or without addition of PEG, which was fed at a level of 5 g/goat and day by mixing with a small amount of rice bran. Each experimental period lasted 15 days (8 days for adaptation, 7 days for collection). Measurements were done as in experiment 1. The DM digestibility was highest (65.9-74.3%) for goats fed the SBM diet in both the dry and wet season. The DM digestibility of goats fed the Jackfruit and the Flemingia diets was similar in both the dry (58.6-59.2% respectively) and the wet season (53.9-56.1% respectively). The CP digestibility was highest (73.0-73.6%) for the SBM diet followed by the Jackfruit diet (47.0-38.5%) and was lowest (36.8-30.0%) for the Flemingia diet in both dry and wet seasons, respectively. The NDF digestibility was low for both the Jackfruit (36.4%) and Flemingia (38.0%) diets in the wet season. All diets resulted in a positive N balance. The N retention was highest (0.465-0.604 g/kg $W^{0.75}$) in the SBM diets and lowest (0.012-0.250 g/kg $W^{0.75}$) in the Flemingia diet. Addition of PEG had no effect on feed intake for any of the diets. PEG added in the Flemingia diet had a positive effect only on NDF digestibility, but the digestibility of the Jackfruit diet was significantly increased. Supplementation with PEG reduced digestibility and N retention of Flemingia, possibly because of the low tannin level, but increased digestibility and N retention for Jackfruit foliage.

Effects of fruit of Lycium chinense (Chinese matrimony vine) on enzyme activities, and microbial and physicochemical properties of kochjuang were investigated during 12 weeks of fermentation. Enzyme activities were higher during middle of fermentation, and protease activities increased as the ratio of L. chinense increased. Facultative anaerobic bacteria counts decreased in L. chinense-added kochujang, whereas viable cell count of yeasts was higher in 1% L. chinense-added kochujang. Consistency of kochujang decreased by addition of L. chinense. Hunter L- and a-values of L. chinense added kochujang were high, causing slight change in total color difference (E) as the ratio of L chinense increased. Moisture contents of kochujang increased during fermentation, whereas water activities decreased. As the ratio of L. chinense increased, water activities increased. Titrable acidities and oxidation-reduction potential increased by addition of L. chinense. Total sugar contents of kochujang decreased rapidly during fermentation, whereas reducing sugar contents increased up to $2{\sim}4$ weeks of fermentation. As the ratio of L. chinense increased, reducing sugar contents decreased. Ethanol contents of kochujang increased during fermentation, with higher values in 3% L. chinense-added kochujang. Amino and ammonia nitrogen contents of kochujang increased L. chinense content increased. After 12 weeks of fermentation, sensory results showed 3% L. chinense-added kochujang showed highest taste and overall acceptability, and color acceptability increased as L. chinense content increased.
