Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in the contents of constituents in Socheongryong-tang (CY) and its fermentations (FCY) with 10 species of lactic acid bacteria. Methods : Ten strains of lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus casei 127, L. acidophilus 128, L. casei 129, L. plantarum 144, L. amylophilus 161, L. curvatus 166, L. delbruekil subsp. lactis 442, L. casei 693, B. breve 744, and B. thermophilum 748, were used for the fermentation of Socheongryong-tang. The increased and decreased constituents were identified using HPLC/DAD and various liquid chromatographic techniques, and the structure was elucidated using NMR and MS. These compounds were quantitatively analyzed using an HPLC/DAD system. Results : The increased constituents were identified to be liquiritigenin (1) and cinnamyl alcohol (2), and the decreased constituent was determined to be liquiritin (3). Liquiritigenin (1) and cinnamyl alcohol (2) were increased in all of the FCYs, while liquiritin (3) was decreased. The fermentation of the ten lactic acid bacteria demonstrated that the decomposable rate of these three compounds in FCYs were different. Socheongryong-tang fermented by L. plantarum 144 and L. amylophilus 161 showed the most remarkable changes. Conclusions : CY could be increased antibacterial, neuroprotective, or antiinflammatory effect by fermentation with lactic acid bacteria, especially with L. plantarum and L. amylophilus, considering their known biological activities. In addition, it is expected that this study will help to establish quality control parameters for FCY.
