The optimum conditions for lactic acid fermentation by Lactobacillus acidophilus in the media containing malt syrup, skim milk or skim milk and malt syrup were studied to develope marketable fermented beverages from barley. The optimum sugar concentration of malt syrup was $10^{\circ}$ Bx. Addition of skim milk to malt syrup enhanced bacterial growth and acid formation. The best flavor of the product was obtained from the media containing 5% skim milk and sterilized at $90^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. Optimum temperature and pH for the formentation were $40^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, and bacterial cells grew logarithmically upto 16 hours.

The possibility of developing new kinds of lactic acid beverage from a malt syrup was studied. The optimum sugar concentration of malt syrup for the cultivation of lactic acid bacteria was $10^{\circ}Bx$. The acidity of the fermented malt syrup was improved by the supplement of yeast extract(0.5%) or sodium citrate(0.08%). Though the activity of Lactobacillus lactis in malt syrup was superior to other strains, sensory test indicated that the mixed culture of Lactobacillus lactis and Streptococcus diacetilactis was better because of masking malt flavour. The changes in acidity and viable cells of malt syrup during the lactic fermentation were not so good as skim milk medium, but malt syrup medium containing milk(50 : 50) was nearly similar to skim milk medium. In the sensory scores among samples, no significant differences(P<0.05) were noted between fermented milk and fermented malt syrup containing milk, but fermented malt syrup showed a poor quality. However fermented malt syrup was not inferior to marketing lactic fermented fruit juices with regards to the lactic acid fermented beverage type.

Barley is a main food source, along with rice, in our dietary life that is easy to buy and process. It is required to develop a beverage base and barley syrup for desserts in order to raise utilization of barley beyond its present use in Sikhye (sweet fermented rice drink) and Jocheong (grain syrup) production. In pursuit of the goal to increase the usability of barley as an ingredient of processed food, this study examined the optimal preparation conditions of barley mash for barley syrup. In addition, the study prepared a barley syrup using saccharified barley liquid, analyzed quality characteristics, and conducted a sensory evaluation. Saccharified barley liquid(barley mash) was prepared with ratios of adding malt of unhulled barley germinated as 0 g(CON), 10 g(BM10), 20 g(BM20), and 30 g(BM30). The results of measuring pH under the varied conditions of saccharification temperatures from $50^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$, and $70^{\circ}C$, as well as time from 1 to 8 hours, treveal that the optimum condition for malt saccharification is $60^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours. By adding oligosaccharides and lemon juice to the saccharified barley liquid at the different ratios of added malt, this study measured quality characteristics(color value, viscosity, pH, sweetness) of barley syrup warmed up for 1 hour. As the result of measuring color in the barley syrup prepared by saccharified barley liquid, higher levels of added malt saw L-value decreased while a-value and b-value both increased. BMs30 showed the highest viscosity of $1,202.67{\pm}3.06$. As for pH, BMs30 was the highest at pH $3.57{\pm}0.02$. The result of the sensory evaluation of barley syrup showed the superior sensory characteristics of BMs20 in terms of color, flavor, sweetness, viscosity and overall quality.

The preparation method for traditional kochujang (fermented hot pepper-soybean paste) at home were surveyed by 1,436 housewives through the country by premade questionnaires. The kochujang meju (Korean style soybean Koji for kochujang) were made by solely soybean (45.3% of respondents) or soybean with rice (26.3%) from September to November (52.2%) or December to February (32.7%). The shape of meju was either doughnut (28.4%) or brick (25.6%) type. Kochujang making seasons were either from March to May (56.6%) or December to February (25.0%) and it was prepared in proportion of mostly $6{\sim}10%$ meju powder (32%) with over 20% of red pepper powder (57.2%) prepared by seed removed dry red pepper. Subsidiary ingredients for kochujang making were boiled waxy rice (73.5%), malt (33.3%), corn syrup (18.9%) or corn syrup with malt (21.9%). After mixing all ingredients, kochujang in clay pot were occasionally exposed to the sun for fermentation for $3{\sim}4$ months (35.0%) or $1{\sim}2$ months (34.7%).

Waxy rice, Oryza sativa, and foxtail millet, Setaria italitica, and mixture (1 : 1, w/w) of the cereals were saccharified by barley malt. The optimum conditions of saccharification were at $50^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs on waxy rice and $55^{\circ}C$for 3 hrs on foxtail millet, respectively. The equilibrium of saccharification were reached at $20^{\circ}Brix$ on waxy rice and mixture, and $17^{\circ}Brix$ in foxtail millet. The free sugars in saccharifying liquids were found maltose, glucose and fructose with the contents of ca. 13%, 1% and trace, respectively, by HPLC analysis. The close relationships (r=0.954) between $^{\circ}{Brix}$ and reducing sugar of saccharifying liquids were observed. The result may be useful for the estimation of the end point of the saccharification.

The effects of types of soybean sauceI(SS) and additives for soybean sauce(AS)on the antioxidative activity was studied. The values of peroxides(POV) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) were monitored under the oxidation systems of linoleic acid or ground cooked meat. Among 10 types of SS including Korean treditional SS, Koran M company's raw SS, Korean koikuchi, Korean acid hydorlyzed SS, Korean mixed SS, Korean decolorized SS, Japanese tamari, koikuchi, usuguchi, and Japanese white SS, three SS types of Japaness tammari, koikuchi and Koran raw SS were found to have the most strong antioxiative activity. However, various as such as monosodium glutamate, caramel, fructose syrup, malt syrup and paraoxybenzoic acid (POBA) were appeared to accerlerate oxidation. Possibly an important antioxidative cahracteristics was due to its higher concentration of nitrogen and melanoidin.

This study was conducted to confirm the effect of drying method on quality of popped rice for making salyeotgangjung(popped rice lump with malt syrup) in process of drying gelatinized rice. The drying were performed at dry oven or convection oven, at $30^{\circ}C,\;50^{\circ}C\;and\;105^{\circ}C$, respectively. There were not significant differences in the hardness of popped rice among the drying methods. The dry at $30^{\circ}C$ constant in dry oven showed higher popping rate, good external surface, uniformed and well developed internal cell size. The dry at $30^{\circ}C$ in convection oven and $50^{\circ}C$ constant temperature in dry oven showed low expansion and poor external surface, respectively. In conclusion, the drying at $30^{\circ}C$ in non-convection oven had the highest quality of popped rice for salyeotgangjung.

Kochujang was fermented using hot red pepper, meju prepared with soybean and rice, and malt-digested syrup. To reduce salt content, mustard powder (1.2%, w/w) was added to Korean traditional kochujang with 4-10% salt, and microbial characteristics, enzyme activities, and gas formation in kochujang were evaluated during fermentation for 120 days at $25^{\circ}C$. Yeast numbers of all treatments maintained 2.43-2.86 log CFU/g up to 60 days fermentation, indicating salt concentration had no effect on yeast count. Activities of ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-amylases, and neutral and acidic proteases of kochujang added with mustard powder were slightly higher than those of control group. Total accumulative volume of gas produced during fermentation of kochujang without mustard powder (control group) was 5,892 mL/pack, but decreased to 34-99 mL/pack in low-salted kochujang (4 and 6% salt) added with mustard powder. Major gas produced was carbon dioxide (79-80%) with oxygen content less than 1.25%(v/v). Results indicate salt concentration of kochujang could be lowered up to 6-8% by addition of mustard powder without gas formation and quality alteration during distribution.

Mixtures of rice and sweet persimmons to make sweet syrup, jochung, were saccharified by barley malt. Soluble solid contents, reducing sugar and free sugar contents, and sensory quality were determined in jochungs, which were prepared from various ratios (10 : 0, 7 : 3, 5 : 5, 3 : 7) of rice to sweet persimmons. Amylase activity had the highest value, 10466 Unit, after 3 hrs during saccharification process at $55^{\circ}C$. In HPLC determination of free sugars, maltose in saccharifying liquids found the highest amount followed by fructose and glucose. With increasing amounts of sweet persimmons, fructose and glucose contents increased while maltose content decreased. The soluble solid contents reduced as the sweet persimmons proportions increased. The control group without sweet persimmons showed highest value, $58^{\circ}Brix$, in soluble solid content. There appeared to be a slight decrease in reducing sugar and free sugar contents as proportion of sweet persimmons increased. Jochung prepared at high amounts of sweet persimmon had better scores in overall acceptance.
