Effects of soaking period on physicochemical characteristics of chokong (black soybean picked in brown rice vinegar) and soaking solution were investigated. The pH and soluble solid contents in soaking solution increased rapidly whereas total acidity decreased during the first 4 days of soaking. The sudden drop of color 'L' and 'b' values in soaking solution occurred one day after start of soaking; in contrast, 'a' value increased by 1 day, and then decreased for soaking periods. The strength and hardness of chokong showed a decreasing trend as soaking for a long time, and the values of chokong were lower than those of control (black soybean soaked in water and freeze dried). The protein bands of chokong for soaking appeared only under 24,000 Da of molecular weight by electrophoresis. The content of total amino acids of chokong pickled for 7 days was 86.86 mg%, about 3 times for 28.36 mg% of raw black soybean. The contents of essential amino acids, especially, leucine and phenylalanine increased greatly in chokong. In vitro digestibility for protein was 62% in raw black soybean and 84% in chokong pickled for 7 days. Therefore, these results may assumed that chokong will be good source of amino acids.

Quality characteristics of apple vinegar by using agitated and static cultures without any additive were compared. pH was reduced with passage of acetic acid fermentation time. Total acidity of the agitated culture vinegar (A) was 6.08% at the 8 day according to the progress of fermentation and that of the static culture vinegar (B) recorded 5.20% at the 60 day of fermentation. There was no significant difference in sugar content of (A) and (B). L value was lower in (B) than (A) but a and b values were higher in (B) than (A). Organic acid content of (A) was high only in acetic acid but malic, citric and succinic acids appeared high in (B). As free sugar, fructose and glucose were observed in both of them. In sensory examination results, (B) showed the highest taste and overall preferences. From all of these results traditional static culture are expected to be used to make high-quality vinegar.

Six different mashing types ((A) koji+purified enzyme, (B) koji+crude enzyme, (C) koji+nuruk, (D) koji+purified enzyme+nuruk, (E) koji+crude enzyme+nuruk, (F) purified enzyme+nuruk) had been established, according to fermentation agents and a mixing rate of rice makgeolli, in this study. The alcohol content was the highest in the mashing type (C), which was 13.6%, followed by (D) 13.5%, (A) 13.1%, (B) 12.9%, (E) 12.7% and (F) 12.1%. The reducing sugar content of (A) was the highest with 401.6 mg% and those of (B), (C), (D) and (F) were between 337.3-380.9 mg%. The alcohol components were found and tended to increase during the fermentation. The oligo-saccharides content was the highest in (D) with 1251.3 mg%, which was followed by (E) 1,219.2 mg%, (C) 1,141.4 mg%, (A) 1,049.9 mg% and 973.8 mg% in (B). The total free amino acid was highest in (B) with 781.4 mg% and followed by (C) 703.2 mg%, (D) 702.6 mg%, (E) 678.7 mg%, (A) 630.4 mg% and (F) 328.7 mg% in order. There were 16 different types of volatile flavor components, in the mashing types (A) and (B), in addition to 15 different types of those in type (C), as well as 14 different types of those in (D), (E) and (F). There were significant differences in the overall preference between the type (A) and (C).
