This study was conducted to investigate the changes of pH, TBA, meat color and sensory evaluation on duck meat fed supplemental Bamboo vinegar during storage period at 4$^{\circ}C$ . Experiment animals (five-wk-old, Cherry Valley F$_1$, 100 chicks) were randomly assigned in four treatment groups. Treatments were control, 1%, 2% and 4% based on Bamboo vinegar addition. There was no PH difference in breast meat between groups on day 1 of storage, while pH of bamboo vinegar supplemented group was sustained hi호 after 3 days. TBA values of Bamboo vinegar treated groups were significantly lower than control group (P<0.05) and were steady change during storage. The color value in lightness no difference between groups during the storage. The control was significantly increased in 6 d and 9 d, while the bamboo vinegar treated groups no difference during storage. The redness and yellowness in bamboo vinegar treatment were decreased in 3 d and 9 d storage. The decrease in yellowness was outstandingly observed in bamboo vinegar 1% and 2% treatment (P<0.05). The odor in terms of sensory evaluation was improved by supplemental bamboo vinegar treatment. The significant differences were observed on 1 d, 3 d and 6 d storage (P<0.05). The appearance of sensory evaluation of supplemental Bamboo vinegar treated groups (P<0.05) was significantly different in 1 d and 3 d storage.

Carbonization characteristics of Indonesian bamboos were investigated using lab-scale tube furnace, in order to find optimum design temperature of a carbonizer for producing bamboo charcoal and vinegar. The bamboo samples used in this study are local bamboos from Damyang in Korea, Andong and Petung in Indonesia. Correlation of electric resistance, specific surface area and pH of bamboo vinegar with pyrolysis temperature has been investigated. Electric resistance of the charcoal increased for higher pyrolysis temperature the specific surface area was also increased as carbonization temperature got higher. Charcoal which has specific surface area of over $300\;m^2/g$ could be produced at $700^{\circ}C$. pH of bamboo vinegar was decreased for highter carbonization temperature and vinegar under pH 3 could be produced for all bamboo samples. In this experimental condition, it was found that lower carbonization temperature is better for producing bamboo vinegar of high quality, while higher temperature is better for obtaining bamboo charcoal with larger surface.

In this study, the chemical components and termiticidal activities of bamboo vinegar against subterranean termite were evaluated. Bamboo vinegar used in this study were produced from Mayan (Gigantochloa robusta Kurz.), Balcoa (Bambusa balcooa Roxb.), and Taiwan (Dendrocalamus latiflorus Munro). It was analyzed by gravimetric methods. Rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis) was soaked for 24 h and tested against Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 7207-2014). The bamboo vinegar demonstrated antitermite activities against subterranean termite. Vinegar of 400℃ recorded higher total phenol and acid than that of 300℃. Results from this study suggest that the phenolic and acidic component of the bamboo vinegar contributed to 100% mortality rate of the termite, some wood weight loss, and a decrease in the termite feeding rate. These results strongly recommend that bamboo vinegar from D. latiflorus Munro is a potential environmentally friendly preservative.

One hundred broiler ducks were divided into 4 groups of 25 ducks. Dietary levels of bamboo vinegar 0%, 1%, 2% and 4% were added to experimental diets ot each of the groups. The wei핌t gain and feed intake of ducks f3d with supplemental bamboo vinegar significantly high compared to those of the control. The carcass rate of the ducks fed with supplemental Bamboo vinegar 1% and 2% were increased compared to that of control, but the ducks fed with 4% treatment was decreased in carcass rate. The lipid and cholesterol content of breast meat of the ducks f3d bamboo vinegar 2% and 4% were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The color values in redness and yellowness were increased by supplemental Bamboo vinegar. Palmitic acid of fatty acid composition in breast meat was decreased by supplemental bamboo vinegar groups, whereas linoleic acid was increased, this difference was especially observed in supplemental Bamboo vinegar 2% (P<0.05). The odor, appearance and taste of sensory evaluation were improved by supplemental bamboo vinegar, especially in supplemental bamboo vinegar 1% and 2% (P<0.05). The results of this study indicate that the supplemental bamboo vinegar 1% and 2% may improve the production and meat quality of broiler ducks.

We assessed the quality of a bamboo shoot vinegar produced in Damyang-gun in terms of parameters that included acidity, mineral contents, amino acids, and flavonol aglycones. The flavor compounds of the bamboo shoot vinegar were also analyzed using the stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) method. The acidity of the bamboo shoot vinegar was 4.49%, which was the lowest value among the commercial vinegars studied. The bamboo shoot vinegar had a lower concentration of Na (8.36 mg/100 g) than the other commercial vinegars. There was a relatively large amount of tyrosine and lysine in the bamboo shoot vinegar. The concentration of quercetin, a flavonol aglycone, was 3.29 mg/100 g. The results of the flavor analysis showed that hexanal, 2-furancarboxaldehyde, and benzaldehyde were high in the bamboo shoot vinegar. Oleamide, a compound that is known to induce sleep, was first found in bamboo shoot vinegar using the SBSE method.

Objective : Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen has been used by East Asian doctors who approved efficient clinical effects of it since the early stage of medical history. It is commonly used for lifestyle related diseases including stroke in recent days thanks to the increasing number of manufacturers. However, products from pharmaceutical companies as well as food companies are not classified as Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen but Bamboo vinegar. This study aims to discern disparate manufacturing process. Methods : In this study, original texts were searched to corroborate the correct method to produce Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen. It is essential to inspect the original texts thoroughly in the course of modernizing traditional knowledge. Result : Discrimination between the two substances starts from manufacturing process; Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen is made under the temperature of less then $170^{\circ}C$, containing mild fragrance and sweet taste, and the Bamboo vinegar over $170^{\circ}C$ upto $400^{\circ}C$, carrying strong smoky scent and acidness. Although some researches show conforming clinical actions of both products, still there is a possibility that closer clinical study would reveal their discrepancy. Conclusion : Current use of Bambusae vinegar needs speculation. Authenticity in proper manufacturing process can be attained through passed-on medical texts.
