The goal of this study was to develop a highly valuable Korean traditional ginseng wine containing various bioactive compounds with good acceptability. The effect of some medicinal plants on the quality and physiological functionality of Korean traditional ginseng wine were investigated. Advanced traditional ginseng wine (AG wine) prepared by addition of 0.5% each Pleuropterus multflorus and Pueraria lobata into the rice mash containing 1% ginseng, 0.4% Fermivin(commercial alcohol fermentation yeast) and Koji (2:1 mixture of nuruk and amylase containing 36 Saccharogenic power per g) showed the highest acceptability and ethanol content (16.8%). Changes of functionalities of the AG wine during fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$ for 30 days were investigated. The highest antihypertensive angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity (78.9%) and total acceptability of the AG wine were shown after fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$ for 20 days. However, antioxidant activity, SOD-like activity and fibrinolytic activity of the AG wines were not detected or very low. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity of the AG wine was also shown to be 8.2% and 9.2% after fermentation for 15 days and 20 days, respectively.

The aim of this study was to develop the new processing method for ginseng. To investigate the efficacy of the new product (the traditional rice wine steamed-red ginseng: RWS-RGS), antioxidant and anticancer effects of RWS-RGS were examined. The DPPH radical scavenging effect of RWS-RGS extracted with ethanol was increased in dose-dependent manner Especially, A3 ($3^{rd}$ traditional rice wine steamed-red ginsengs) exhibited effective DPPH radical scavenging activity. Nitrite scavenging effect of white ginseng (W.G), red ginseng (R.G) and RWS-RGS ($A1\~A9:\;1^{st}$ traditional rice wine steamed-red $ginseng\~9^{th}$ traditional rice wine steamed-red ginseng) were $25.9{\pm}4.4\%,\;12.9{\pm}1.1\%\;and\;26.2{\pm}0.1\~56.1{\pm}0.6\%$ at pH 1.2, respectively. The antitumor effects of W.G, R.G and RWS-RGS (A9) were examined in Hep3B cancer cells. Their growth inhibition against Hep3B cancer cells showed $19.6{\pm}4.5\%,\;54.5{\pm}6.1\%,\;96.3{\pm}2.4\%$ at 5,000 ppm, respectively. These result suggest that the traditional rice wine steamed ginseng will be useful product with antioxidant and antitumor effect.

This study was performed to develop new processing methods and products from steamed ginseng with rice wine. The brownnes, turbidity and the total ginsenoside in ginseng were examined All the values of examined premonitory materials, intermediate products, coloring matters and turbidity were increased as the steaming continued The quantity of total ginsenoside was increased when the steaming with rice wine continued in A1 - A9($1^{st}$ traditional rice wine steamed red ginseng: $A1{\~}9^{th}$ traditional rice wine steamed-red ginseng:A9). The quantity of ginsenoside-Rc, ginsenoside-Rd, ginsenoside-Re in Al were increased as the steaming continued. The quantity of ginsenoside-$Rg_2$ and ginsenoside-$Rg_3$ was increased when the number of steaming increased.

A ${\beta}$-glucosidase producing yeast strain was isolated from Korean traditional rice wine. Based on the sequence of the YCL008c gene and analysis of the fatty acid composition, the isolate was identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain HJ-014. S. cerevisiae HJ-014 produced ginsenoside Rd, $F_2$, and compound K from the ethanol extract of red ginseng. The production was increased by shaking culture, where the bioconversion efficiency was increased 2-fold compared to standing culture. The production of ginsenoside $F_2$ and compound K was time-dependent and thought to proceed by the transformation pathway of: red ginseng extract ${\rightarrow}Rd{\rightarrow}F_2{\rightarrow}$ compound K. The optimum incubation time and concentration of red ginseng extract for the production of compound K was 96 hr and 4.5% (w/v), respectively.

The present study was performed to obtain data that could be used to popularize yakju(Korean traditional rice wine) by surveying how well rice wine goes with pairing foods. The survey was given to 302 men and women living in the Seoul and Gyunggi areas and work in the food service industry. The Jeon group, Gui group, Jeongol and Jjigae group, Pyeonyuk and Bossam group, and Muchim group were selected as menu items that go well with available rice wines. The survey aimed to identify foods that go well with four rice wines with different sensory characteristics. The survey results showed that both men and women replied that rice wines with Nuruk aroma and Nuruk taste go well with the Jeon group, rice wines with sour and flower aromas and common characteristics go well with the Muchim group, and rice wines with sweet and fruit tastes go well with the Muchim group. However, men and women had different opinions on rice wines having ginseng, soil, and herbal medicine aromas. Men replied that such rice wines go well with grilled meat, whereas women replied that these rice wines go well with Pyeonyuk and Bossan groups.

Chemical and sensory profiles of 5 Korean commercial rice wines (yakju) were developed using descriptive, physicochemical, and volatile analyses. Color, 6 aroma, and 5 taste attributes of these rice wines were evaluated by a panel of 13 judges. Sample wines were analyzed for titratable acidity, ethanol content, pH, Hunter colorimeter value, organic acids, and free sugars. Volatile analysis of the samples revealed the presence of 2 acids, 7 alcohols, 19 esters, and 5 miscellaneous compounds. Based on principal component analysis of the descriptive data, rice wines were primarily separated along the first principal component, which accounted for 57% of the total variance between the rice wines with high intensities of 'color' and 'sweet aroma' versus 'ginseng' aroma.

To develop a new traditional Gugija tagju, various koji were prepared using several starch sources along with Aspergillus awamori var. kawachi, and then their effects on the quality of the tagju were investigated. Ethanol contents(11.1${\sim}$13.8%) were not significantly different among the Gugija tagju made from the various types of koji, whereas the tagju made using non-glutinous rice koji had the best total acceptability. The addition of 1% Gugija extracts into the mash increased its total acceptability and anti-hypertensive angiotensin I-converting inhibitory activity, and the optimal fermentation period for brewing the Gugija tagju was 10 days.

This study was conducted on the head family house of Panseogong coterie of Andong Kwon clans in Daksil village, Bongwha gun, Kyungbuk: historical sources survey and field visit over four rounds were conducted from March to June 2014. In-depth interview, storytelling, and nutrition facts were used as methods of research using 49 participants, and the potentials of trend goods were the main purpose of this research. The specialties of bongwha prefecture in the Chosun Dynasty were pine nut, manna lichen, ginseng, sweetfish, and wild honey. Ritual food bulcheonwi's offerings a feature in Choongjae Kwonbeol's head family - were sacred wine, me, gang, otang, myun, myunjeok, pyunjeok, pyunchung, pyun, po, chungpomook, dojeok, sookchae, ssam, chimchai, sikhye, chogwa, silgwa, soojunggwa, etc. The ritual foods of bulcheonwi's head family house Choongjae Kwonbeol were commercialized through storytelling. Choongjae Kwonbeol's ritual ceremonies, recognized for their national royalty, were reorganized as the traditional Korean table settings, so that the Korean people could easily access them. The special meal called "Geumgyeporansang" represented the head family house foods' essence to share and serve others through the Dacshil village's natural beauty, Bonghwa's local ingredients, and festivities after the "Chungjae Gwunbal Bulchun" rituals. The ritual foods called "Cheongamjungsang", utilizing "Chungjae Gwunbal Bulchun" rituals, were represented in the form of a lunch box: such foods illustrate the classical scholar's mindset that enjoys the nature and arts through education and virtue.
