This study is to establish optimizing condition of alcohol fermentation in vinegar production with aronia, to confirm whether this can be industrially used, and to compare and analyze a change in anti-oxidative activity and quality characteristic according to alcohol fermentation of aronia. The optimized conditions for alcohol fermentation were as follows: Saccharomyces cerevisiae 5645 of yeast strain, a 5% inoculum size, aronia juice with a brix value of 14, and a glucose content of 7%. As a result to conduct scale up with optimizing conditions of alcohol fermentation of aronia, 8 days (192 hrs) of total alcohol fermentation time and 7.4% of the final alcohol content. The harvest volume accounted for approximately 90.2% with a loss of about 2.8%. As a result of antioxidant test, anti-oxidative activity of alcohol fermented liquor is lower than anti-oxidative activity of aronia extract, because of the decrease of antioxidant by oxidation of the fermentation process. However, the decrease of tannin by the fermentation process reduces acerbity of aronia, so increases overall preference

A novel L. harbinensis VF was isolated from fermented vinegar and identified through biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA sequencing analysis. Characteristics of probiotics were studied for acid and bile salt tolerances, hemolytic activity, antibiotic resistance, antimicrobial activity, cell surface hydrophobicity, and aggregation. The survival rates of the isolate were maintained at 68.9% and 95.6% after 3 h incubation at pH 2.0 and 2.5 and were over 74% at bile salt concentrations of 0.3% and 0.5%. The hemolytic activity was confirmed to be -hemolysis. The isolate showed broad antibiotics-resistance in over 12 antibiotics except for trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, compared to L. plantarum (KCTC 3108), used as control, and previously reported L. harbinensis. Antimicrobial activity was confirmed against pathogens, B. cereus, E. coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes, and S. typhimurium, except S. aureus, and it was attributed to produced organic acids (low pH). The hydrophobicity for xylene and chloroform were 16.7% and 20.4%, respectively, lower than those of L. plantarum (41.2% & 49.9%). The auto-aggregation and coaggregation with pathogens were 83.8% and 49.2-87.6% at 24 h incubation, respectively, higher than those of L. plantarum. From this study, L. harbinensis VF is likely to be used as a probiotic strain and is a strong candidate for commercial application.

Vinegar is a widely used acidic seasoning and can be manufactured using a variety of methods and basic materials such as grains, wheat, and fruits. It was produced through an acetic acid fermentation process carried out by acetic acid bacteria. These bacteria not only produce a variety of metabolic compounds but also alter the acidity and flavor of the product. Some vinegar also contains antioxidants, antineoplastic compounds, and other bio-metabolites, which can have a beneficial effect on health. This study was conducted to investigate the quality of fermentation black rice vinegar produced by fermented Omija (Schizandra chinensis Bail.) extract for improving vinegar’s preference. The total polyphenol content and DPPH scavenging activity of the vinegar created with fermented Omija extract were 317.5 ㎍/㎖ and 84.6%, respectively. But, the vinegar without Omija extract was 239.3 ㎍/㎖ and 72.5%, respectively. Glucose content of the vinegar added with the extract was 3.55∼4.17%, fructose content was 2.23∼2.71%, citric acid content was 4.23∼5.38% and malic acid content was 0.27∼0.62%. Glucose, fructose, citric acid and malic acid contents of the black rice vinegar added with the extract were higher than those of the vinegar without the Omija extract. The content of essential free amino acids in the vinegar added with the extract was 32.8∼42.7 mg% and GABA content was 0.45∼1.72 mg%. The vinegar with the fermented extract showed antimicrobial activity against Escherichia. coli, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Onion vinegar, which has an undesirable flavor and taste formed through alcohol and acetic acid fermentation, possesses additives that can improve sensory quality. Thus, the objective of this study was to present an optimized blending ratio using response surface methods for an onion vinegar beverage by adding Omija extracts. This study was performed to formulate an Omija-onion vinegar beverage (OOVB) and investigate its antioxidant properties and antimicrobiological effects. The experimental design was conducted using an optimal mixture model of response surface methodology which generated eighteen experimental trials with overall acceptance as the responses. According to the statistical analyses, OOVB demonstrated a ratio containing onion vinegar, water, brown sugar, apple extracts and Omija extracts of 10, 72.3, 4.4, 12.2 and 1.1 (weight ratio), respectively. The OOVB revealed desirable nutrition values (phenolics compounds 19.3 mg/100 g, total flavonoids 3.1 mg/100 g, quercetin 1.9 mg/100). The OOVB displayed antibacterial effects in Gram negative Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus. The findings revealed that OOVB was 18% in DPPH radical inhibitionand 11% in superoxide dismutase-like activity thus, OOVB has nutritional value and good quality as well as potential biological activities for functional beverages.

Physicochemical characteristics of vinegar pickled cabbages during storage were examined. 3x3 cm cube-shaped stems and leaves of cabbages examined in different pickling condition (salt 2, 4, 6, 8% and sugar 5, 10, 15, 20% brix) for 12 hours, and salt and sugar penetration rate were measured at every 2 hours. The vinegar pickled cabbages were stored for 4 weeks at 3 different temperature conditions (5, 15, and 25℃), and sensory test and TPA test were performed at intervals of every week. The rates of salt and sugar penetration were faster on the leaves than on the stem of cabbage. Also, increase in salt and sugar concentration of solutions led to increase in salt and sugar permeation rate. As a result of sensory test, both leaves and stems of cabbages stored at 5℃ did not show any significant difference with storage time. However, preference degree of cabbages stored at 15 and 25℃ decreased significantly as increasing the storage time. Hardness and cohesiveness of pickled cabbage were increased significantly as the storage time increased, but storage temperature did not give any effect on them.

Acetic acid bacteria strains were isolated from a variety of fermented foods and fallen fruits. Among them, the strain MAK88, whose acetic acid fermentation ability, acid-tolerance, and alcohol-tolerance were high, was selected and identified as Acetobacter orientalis.
