This study was carried out for the purpose of improving the persimmon vinegar. The acetic acid bacteria strain JST-3, using acetic acid fermentation was isolated from the traditional persimmon vinegar. The optimum conditions for high yield of acetic acid were studied in the shaking bath. Acetic acid bacteria was cultured at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 days and transferred to persimmon alcoholic juice for acetic acid fermentation. The optimum initial acidity for acetic acrid fermentation was 1%(w/v) and the addition of glucose or yeast extract was observed to produce relatively low yield of acetic acid. Succinic and acetic acid were major organic acid in the persimmon vinegar, The contents of lactic acid which was known to increase off-flavor were very low. Sensory evaluation revealed that the persimmon vinegar prepared in this study was superior to two commercial ones in the aroma and taste.

To prepare the basic information for the fermentation of high quality persimmon vinegar in the farm. the quality of the complex fermented persimmon vinegar(CFPV) was compared to that of naturally fermented persimmon vinegar (NFPV). The titratable acidity of the CFPV was 3% which was the half concentration of the NFPV. The content of total free sugar by HPLC was 6% in CFPV and NFPV was 5%. Organic acid compositions in persimmon vinegar were oxalic acid, malic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, succinic acid and glutaric acid in addition to acetic acid. Total content of the organic acids in NFPV was higer than in CFPV. Especially, the content of latic acid in NFPV was very higher than that of CFPV. the flavour, color and taste of persimmon fruit itself in CFPV were stronger than those in NFPV.

This study was performed to offer fundamental data for concentration of persimmon vinegar. The $5.4^{\circ}Bx$ raw persimmon vinegar was concentrated to $20^{\circ}Bx$, $30^{\circ}Bx$, $40^{\circ}Bx$, $50^{\circ}Bx$, $60^{\circ}Bx$ and $70^{\circ}Bx$ concentration by vacuum concentration at $55^{\circ}C$ and diluted to $5.4^{\circ}Bx$ solution with distilled water. The physicochemical properties such as color, viscosity, pH, acidity, organic acid content and free sugar content of various persimmon vinegar concentrates were examined. The recovery yield of water soluble solid to concentrates was 55.5% on $20^{\circ}Bx$ vacuum concentration. Color of $5.4^{\circ}Bx$ persimmon vinegar diluents from concentrates became more dark brown by vacuum concentration. Flow behavior of persimmon vinegar concentrates was pseudoplastic. As the concentration of persimmon vinegar concentrates increased, pH of $5.4^{\circ}Bx$ diluents increased and acidity as acetic acid decreased compared to original raw vinegar. Acetic acid, lactic acid and citric acid were detected, malic acid and oxalic acid were not detected in persimmon vinegar concentrate. Fructose and sucrose only were detected in persimmon vinegar concentrate.

This study was performed to test application possibility of electronic nose with 32 conducting polymer sensor arrays for aroma analysis of persimmon vinegar. The 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and $70^{\circ}Bx$ persimmon vinegar concentrates were prepared by vacuum concentration at $55^{\circ}C$. The recovery yield of water soluble solid to concentrates was 55.5% on $20^{\circ}Bx$ persimmon vinegar concentrate. As the concentration of persimmon vinegar concentrates increased, pH of concentrates increased and acidity as acetic acid decreased. From sensory evaluation for persimmon vinegar concentrates, as the concentration of persimmon vinegar concentrates increased, their cooking odor and umami taste increased, sour taste and acidic odor decreased, salty odor and astringency were not changed. Aroma analysis by electronic nose (AromaScan) showed no difference in normalized pattern and odor intensity among persimmon vinegar concentrates. All quality factors among concentrates also were less than 1.042. And so the electronic nose with conducting polymer sensor was not suitable for aroma analysis of persimmon vinegar concentrate.

Optimum processing conditions for vinegar fermentation using fig, pear and persimmon were determined. Alcohol contents in the fermentatio broth of crushed fruits of fig, pear and persimmon were 7.5%, 5.1% and 6.8%, respectively. Alcohol contents increased up to 14.3~15.1% by adding 24% of sugar to the fruit juices. The total acidity of 7.04%, 3.30% and 3.66% were obtained for fig, pear and persimmon, respectively, through acetic acid fermentation of fruit juices containing 8% ethanol. Acetic acid yield increased by shaking during fermentation for pear and persimmon broth. Acetic acid yield increased 1.80~1.92 times by adding 0.5% of yeast extract to the fermentation broth of pear and persimmon. After fermentation, each fruit vinegar was clarified up to 93.1~97.4 of light transmittance by using 0.6% of kaki shibu for 4 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$. After aging for 60 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$, the acidity of fruit vinegar decreased slightly. Tannin content of persimmon vineger was remarkably higher than the other, while light absorbance of pear vinegar was higher than the other vinegars. Acetic acid was identified as the main volatile organic acid in the fruit vinegars, while propionic, isobutyric and isovaleric acids were identified as the minors. The content of non-volatile organic acids in the pear vinegar was higher than that in the persimmon vinegar. Sensory evaluation results indicate that the fig vinegar was preferred to the pear vinegar in the aspects of color, flavor and overall acceptability, but the fig vinegar had a strong background taste. Sensory scores of the persimmon vinegar increased significantly by pasteurization, but those of the fig and pear vinegars did not by pasteurization.

Persimmon vinegar was clarified with 400mg/L chitosans of two different molecular weights (MW 150 and 37 kDa), and its quality changes were investigated during storage at room temperature for 6 months. No significant changes in pH, acidity, and tannin content were observed. However, turbidity and browning slightly increased while protein content slightly decreased. Soluble solids content slightly decreased when treated with high MW chitosan. Color L* value decreased while a* and b* values increased with storage periods. The major organic acid in the persimmon vinegar after 6 months storage was acetic acid with minor lactic, malic, tartaric, galacturonic, and succinic acids. Overall, the quality of persimmon vinegar clarified by chitosan treatment, irrespective of molecular weight, was more stable without noticeable changes during storage than that of control group without chitosan treatment.
