To investigate the characteristics of $Gammakgeolli$ to which processed forms of persimmon were added, $Gokkam$, $Gammalaengi$, whole powder, peel powder, and paste were used as various processed forms. The moisture, total polyphenol, and soluble-solid contents of the persimmon used for making $Gammakgeolli$ showed a big difference according to the processed form of persimmon, and influenced the total polyphenol and alcohol contents of the $Gammakgeolli$. The pH and total acid of the $Gammakgeolli$, which were 3.7~4.1 and 0.20~0.29% (w/v), respectively, were similar to those of commercial $Makgeolli$. The amino acidity increased on the fifth day after fermentation from that on the third day, and showed relatively high levels in the whole power, peel power, and paste. The volatile-acid contents of the $Gammakgeolli$s were within the range of 80~100 ppm and showed the highest level in the persimmon-paste-treated sample. Among the major organic acids of $Gammakgeolli$ (oxalic, citric, tartaric, malic, succinic, lactic, and acetic acid), lactic acid had the highest concentration. The $Gammakgeolli$ to which hole power or paste was added showed a high level of yellowness and a good color in the sensatory evaluation. In the sensory evaluation (selection rate) of the taste and overall acceptability, the $Gammakgeolli$ treated with $Gammalaengi$ was the best.

Biogenic amines are generally formed through the decarboxylation of specific free amino acids by exogenous decarboxylases released by microbial species associated with the fish products and fermented feeds. This study was conducted to investigate the properties of e tuna waste regarding the control of degradation of biogenic amines (histamine, tyramine, tryptamine, putrescine, and cadaverine) that might be related with the anti-nutritional factor of the tuna waste that is used for manufacturing domestic fish meal. The values of pH and the salt content were 6.51, 3.35% in tuna waste and 5.58 and 5.83% in tuna fish meal, respectively. The strains and dominant bacteria tested in the tuna waste sample were 9.20, 9.29, 5.67, 7.82 and 7.58 log CFU/g of total bacteria, aerobic plate count (APC), total coliform (TC), Lactobacillus spp. and Bacillus spp., respectively. The main histamine forming-bacteria (HFB) in tuna waste were detected by silica gel thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and 7 histamine-forming bacterial species were isolated among microbes grown in selective medium. The histamine concentration was determined by detection of fluorescence of ο-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) derivatives using HPLC and the date were used to reconfirm the identities of the amine-producing bacteria. The 15 histamine- forming bacteria strains grown in trypicase soy broth (TSB) supplemented with 1% L-histidine (TSBH) were identified as Lactococcus(L.) lactis subsp. lactis, Klebsiella pneummonlae, L. garvieae 36, Vibrio olivaceus, Hafnia alvei and L. garvieae which were main dominant amine - producing strains, and Morganella morganii identified by 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequencing with PCR amplification. A Phylogenetic tree generated from the 16S rRNA sequencing data showed different phyletic lines that could be readily classified as biogenic amine forming gram-positive and negative bacteria.
