Abstract

A mixed culture of bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria and yeast was used to prepare unique fermented fruit and vegetable beverage which contains bacteriocin. Fruit and vegetable broth fermented by Lactococcus lactis 11454 showed inhibitory activity against foodborne pathogens such as Listeria monocytogens and Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus mutans which is a major causative agent for dental caries. Bacteriocin was detected at the end of fermentation of fruit and vegetables and its antimicrobial activity was stable for 5 weeks during storage at $4^{\circ}C$. These results suggest that the presence of bacteriocin in beverages during fermentation and storage will provide a safeguard against foodborne pathogens and spoilage bacteria. To improve flavor of the fermented broth, post-fermentation of the fermented broth was carried out at $4^{\circ}C$ by using yeast isolated from raw material mixture. Total acidity of the post-fermented broth was slightly decreased, but significant increase in the concentration of succinic acid was observed in the post-fermented broth. It was also observed that bitter and disagreeable taste compounds such as phthalates were decreased, and mild acidic and fruity flavor esters and alcohols were increased by the post-fermentation of the fermented broth with yeast.

생산량이 풍부하고 가공성이 높지 않은 농산물인 무, 감자, 생강, 사과, 대추를 이용한 과채발효액을 제조하기 위하여, 박테리오신 생성 젖산균과 효모를 이용하여 발효를 순행하고, 발효액의 유기산 농도와 향기성분, 박테리오신의 생성 및 항균활성 등을 측정하여 저장성을 지닌 음료로서의 가능성을 검토하였다. 박테리오신 생성 젖산균인 Lc. lactis를 이용한 과채 젖산발효액의 pH는 4.07, 산도는 0.36%이며, lactic acid, citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid 등의 유기산을 함유하고 있으며, 박테리오신의 생성이 확인되었다. 발효중에 생성된 박테리오신의 항균역가는 냉장저장 중에도 매우 안정하였으며, Listeria monocytogenes와 Staphylococcus aureus, 그리고 충치 원인균인 Streptococcus mutans에 대한 저해효과가 있었다. 젖산발효액에 원료 혼합액에서 분리한 효모를 접종하여 후발효시킨 효모발효액에서는 일부 유기산의 소모로 인해 산도가 약간 감소하였으나, succinic acid의 함량은 1.5배정도 높아진 것으로 나타났다. 젖산발효액에서 검출된 ester의 종류는 불쾌하고 쓴맛을 내는 phthalate 종류가 많은 반면, 효모 접종구에서는 과일향을 내는 ester 종류가 많이 검출되었고, alcohol종류도 증가한 것으로 나타나 젖산발효액의 풍미개선에 기여한 것으로 판단된다.
