Quantification of viable forms of microbial community (bacteria and fungi) using culture-dependent methods was done in order to characterize the indoor air quality (IAQ). Role of those factors, which may influence the concentration of viable counts of bacteria and fungi, like ventilation, occupancy, outdoor concentration and environmental parameters (temperature and relative humidity) were also determined. Volumetric-infiltration sampling technique was employed to collect air samples both inside and outside the schools. As regard of measurements of airborne viable culturable microflora of schools during one academic year, the level of TVMCs in school buildings was ranged between 803-5368 cfu/$m^3$. Viable counts of bacteria (VBCs) were constituted 63.7% of the mean total viable microbial counts where as viable counts of fungi (VFCs) formed 36.3% of the total. Mean a total viable microbial count (TVMCs) in three schools was 2491 cfu/$m^3$. Outdoor level of TVMCs was varied from 736-5855 cfu/$m^3$. Maximum and minimum VBCs were 3678-286 cfu/m3 respectively. Culturable fungal counts were ranged from 268-2089 cfu/$m^3$ in three schools. Significant positive correlation (p < 0.01) was indicated that indoor concentration of viable community reliant upon outdoor concentration. Temperature seemed to have a large effect (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) on the concentration of viable culturable microbial community rather than relative humidity. Consistent with the analysis and findings, the concentration of viable cultural counts of bacteria and fungi found indoors, were of several orders of magnitude, depending upon the potential of local, spatial and temporal factors, IO ratio appeared as a crucial indicator to identify the source of microbial contaminants.

곶감의 건조 및 저장에 따른 미생물상의 변화를 조사하였다. 곳감의 제조 지역에 따라 건조 초기의 미생물수는 상주시 외곽지역의 곶감이 다소 높았으나 반건시상태가 되는 건조 7 주 후에는 두 지역의 미생물 수의 차이는 없었다. 건조가 진행됨에 일반세균과 초산균은 꾸준히 감소하여 7주 후에는 거의 관찰되지 않았으나 곰팡이와 효모 수는 점차 늘어나는 양상을 보였다. 곶감을 3$0^{\circ}C$$\pm$2, 실온(10~15$^{\circ}C$), 저온(4$^{\circ}C$$\pm$2)에서 7주간 저장한 결과 저온 저장구에서 미생물의 증가가 가장 낮았으며, 저온 저장과 상온 저장의 경우에는 저장 기간이 길어질수록 모든 미생물의 수가 증가하는 경향이었으나, 3$0^{\circ}C$ 저장구의 경우 저장 초기에 비하여 저장 기간이 길어질수록 효모와 초산균은 오히려 감소하였다. 외관의 경우에도 저장온도가 낮을수록 백분의 양은 많아지고 조직이 연화되는 기간도 길어지는 것으로 나타났다.

This research was carried out in order to discover acid-forming bacteria during fermentation of Makgeolli, as Makgeolli loses its commercial value due to overproduced acidic materials. In Makgeolli kept at $25^{\circ}C$, a sudden increase of acidity as well as the disappearance of yeast cells occurred at day 6, whereas the total cell count and bacterial type remained unchanged; the result implies that a succession of bacterial types, including acid forming bacteria, occurred. Two acid-forming bacteria were isolated from acidified Makgeolli and were identified as Acetobacter pasteurianus and Lactobacillus casei. When fresh and heat-treated Makgeolli were inoculated with Acetobacter pasteurianus and/or Lactobacillus casei, the greatest amount of acid was formed in Makgeolli inoculated with Acetobacter pasteurianus and Lactobacillus casei and also in Makgeolli with Acetobacter pasteurianus alone. This result indicates that Acetobacter pasteurianus is the main acidifier; furthermore, it shows the synergy effect in acid formation with Lactobacillus casei.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of implementing the HACCP system on foodservice establishments. At first, the hygienic conditions were measured by microbiological hazard analyses of the cooking utensils and working areas. In order to solve the detected problems, the HACCP system was implemented, after what was considered a sufficient settlement period following the initial assessment, then microbiological verification was performed again. In relation to the cooking utensils and equipment(kitchen knives, cutting boards, knives for shredding vegetables, refrigerators, baskets, barts, working tables, preparation tables, tungs, dish-clothes and drains) the microbiological inspection on the Total Plate Count, Coliforms, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes, were conducted with regard to the working areas(working tables, preparation tables, seasoning's shelves, serving tables, drinking water tables, refrigerators, storage rooms and dining tables), the Total Plate Count and Fungi were also examined. According to the microbiological hazard analyses there were many problems, especially with cutting boards, baskets, barts, dish-clothes and sinkballs. However, by introducing the HACCP system, the microbiological hazard levels were able to be controlled and lowered, and the total aerial bacteria in the working areas of the foodservice establishments were detected at levels below 6 CFU/plate.

Objective: In this study, the effects of vacuum (VP) and high-oxygen modified atmosphere ($80%\;O_2+20%\;CO_2$) packaging (HiOx-MAP) on physico-chemical and microbiological properties of minced water buffalo meat were investigated. Methods: After minced meat preparation, samples were packaged under VP and HiOx-MAP and stored at $2^{\circ}C{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ for 14 days. Samples taken on certain days were subjected to total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, total aerobic psychrotrophic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, Pseudomonas, Enterobacteriaceae and yeast-mold counts as well as pH, color ($L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) analyses. Results: In minced water buffalo meat packaged under HiOx-MAP, TBARS value exceeded 1 mg malondialdehyde/kg on the 4th day of the storage. In VP samples, TBARS value remained close to initial TBARS value during storage. According to the findings, $a^*$ value was determined to be high in the HiOx-MAP samples within initial days of the storage. However, no significant changes in $a^*$ value were observed in VP samples during storage. In contrast, the mean value of $L^*$ was detected as higher in HiOx-MAP sample than VP samples. The count of psychrotrophic bacteria increased more than that of mesophilic bacteria during storage. The growth of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas was delayed in both the packaging methods. However, lactic acid bacteria exhibited more growth in VP samples compared to MAP samples. Conclusion: The lipid oxidation proceeded faster than expected in minced water buffalo meat packed with HiOx-MAP method. This situation adversely affected the $a^*$ value. On the other hand, similar microbiological results were obtained in both packing methods.

The objective of this study was to determine the quality characteristics of fermenting mash and pasteurized ginseng Makgeolli added with different concentrations of ginseng powder. Total aerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria counts of mash added with 0, 1, 2, and 4% ginseng powder during 4 days of fermentation significantly increased, whereas yeast count decreased. Viable cell count remarkably decreased after pasteurization. Pasteurized 4% ginseng Makgeolli (4.30) showed a higher pH than 0, 1, and 2 % ginseng Makgeolli (4.09, 4.08, and 4.06, respectively) after 15 days of aging. After aging, amylase activity of pasteurized Makgeolli decreased, and 0% and 1% ginseng Makgeolli (22.35, $21.55^{\circ}Brix$) showed higher Brix content than 4% ginseng Makgeolli ($20.15^{\circ}Brix$). Before aging, alcohol contents of 0, 1, 2, and 4% pasteurized ginseng Makgeolli were 5.80, 5.50, 5.20, and 5.10%, respectively. After 15 days of aging, 0% ginseng Makgeolli (7.00) showed higher alcohol content than 1, 2, and 4% ginseng Makgeolli (5.90, 5.80, and 5.60%, respectively). The results of the sensory evaluation show that 2% ginseng Makgeolli after 3 days of aging at $4^{\circ}C$ had the highest scores for taste (5.19), flavor (5.04), and overall acceptability (5.22) among the samples.

Rice, nuruk, and water are the main ingredients to prepare takju, a traditional Korean liquor. Takju quality varies depending on the type of ingredients and fermentation temperature. In the current study, different combinations of nuruk (SH, JJ) and rice (glutinous rice, non-glutinous rice) were fermented at different temperatures (20, 25℃) and analyzed for quality characteristics over the fermentation period of 10 days. Regardless of the temperature, higher soluble solids (27.1~29%) were measured in the takju prepared with glutinous rice compared to non-glutinous rice. And acidity increased from 0.03% to 1.1% to all takju fermented at both 20 and 25℃, and, higher acidity was measured in the takju prepared with JJ nuruk. The color value of lightness (L) decreased from 57.9 to 23.9. Alcohol content was less than 15.5% in glutinous rice takju and less than 12.3% in non-glutinous rice takju. Total bacteria count (7~8 Log CFU/mL) and lactic acid bacteria count (4~7 Log CFU/mL) increased in different takju. However, the very high yeast count was recorded in takju prepared from SH nuruk compared to takju prepared from JJ nuruk at 0 day of fermentation. A sharp decline (84.92~98.57%) of yeast was observed just after the 1st day of fermentation which gradually reduced to lowest at 4th day of fermentation. No yeast was observed at 6th day fermentation and onwards. These results indicate that the raw materials, especially rice and nuruk, affect the physiochemical properties of takju.

The optional ingredient, Maesil juice, was adopted to improve the quality of Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi during fermentation. The final weight of the Maesil juice as a percentage of the water content in the Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi was adjusted to 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7%. The physicochemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics were determined during fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$ over a 30 days period. After fermentation, the additions of 3 and 5% Maesil juice gave the highest pH values and lowest total acidities. With regard to the reducing sugars, the 3 and 5% treatments gave the highest contents. The number of the total cell count and lactic acid bacteria increased to their maxima during fermentation, but began to decrease during the latter stages. Here, the additions of 3 and 5% Maesil juice showed distinctive lower and higher numbers of total cells and lactic acid bacteria, respectively, during the latter stages of fermentation. With regard to the sensory evaluation on the addition of Maesil juice, the results obtained with 3 and 5% additions to the fermented Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi were favored for color, smell, sour and carbonated tastes and overall acceptability of the products. Therefore, the optimum levels of Maesil juice addition to Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi were estimated to be between 3 and 5%.
