Antiproliferative effects of soy milk fermented with Bacillus subtilis from chungkukjang was studied in AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells. The fermented soy milk by B. subtilis (B. subtilis-F-SM) exhibited 82% growth inhibitory effect at 2 mg/mL concentration, while non-fermented soy milk (Non-F-SM) showed 68%. B. subtilis-F-SM treated AGS cells induced more apoptotic bodies than the Non-F-SM treated cells. In mRNA expressions, B. subtilis-F-SM showed decreased expression of anti-apoptotic bcl-2 and increased expression of pro-apoptotic bax. The expressions of tumor suppressor genes of p53 and p21 were also increased. These results suggest that fermented soy milk by B. subtilis exhibited higher antiproliferative activities compared with non-fermented soy milk.

To facilitate fermentation of liquid anchovy sauce, 3% unripe figs, ripe figs, or fig leaves were added to the sauce and fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. The anchovy sauce prepared with ripe figs showed higher protease activity and better red-pupple color than others. Amino-nitrogen content in anchovy sauce treated with ripe figs was attained to 600 mg% within 10 days. Total free amino acid content in the product with fig addition showed about twice higher, 4543.21 mg%, than the control, 2255.29 mg%. Hypoxanthin was found as a major components of nucleotide and their related compounds in the fermented anchovy sauce. However, using the unripe figs and fig leaves impart greenish color and grass taste to the product.

The aim of this study was to investigate the immune activity of Ailantias altissima as an active ingredient on the immune enhancement by mixing ethanol extract with lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The activity of $NF-{\kappa}B/AP1$ transcription factor increased by $NF-{\kappa}B$ activity when mixed with LAB samples rather than with the extract alone. Nitric oxide (NO) production was similar in ethanol extract alone group and LPS treatment group. Mixing Ailantias altissima extract and lactic acid bacteria led to low NO production. The cytokine productivity of $TNF-{\alpha}$ significantly increased in Ailantias altissima extract when treated with LPS, and increased even more when mixed with lactic acid bacteria. The $IL-1{\beta}$ cytokine production was high when the Ailantias altissima extract were treated alone, but no $IL-1{\beta}$ cytokine was produced in the mixtures with isolates. The combination of the ethanol extract of the Ailantias altissima and the lactic acid bacteria was found to be effective in the immune function. Consequently, the ingredient to combine Ailantias altissima extract and lactic acid bacteria can be effectively used for development of the health functional food on the prevention and treatment of hypoimmunities.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the quality characteristics of Astragalus membranaceus Bunge leaf (AMBL) fermented with lactic acid bacteria and the applicability of its biologically active compounds. Methods and Results: An assessment of physicochemical properties such as pH, total acidity, free sugars, and isoflavonoid (calycosin-7-o-β-d-glucoside, ononin, calycosin, and formononetin) was conducted. Furthermore, the levels of antioxidant compounds, including polyphenols and flavonoids, and radical scavenging activities of the extracts using 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate and 2,2-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) were investigated. The calycosin content in the water extract of AMBL fermented with Leuconostoc mesenteroides increased by approximately twice as much as the control. Conclusions: These results indicate that L. mesenteroides can be used to improve biological activity through fermentation, and that AMBL can be used as a functional materials and edible resource in industrial areas.

성인 남녀의 분변과 시판 요구르트로부터 분리한 10주의 균주들을 밤용액에 접종 발효하고 산생성과 생균수 면에서 각각 우수한 Lactobacilus sp. PAP1 과 MGG2를 분리하였다. 발효액의 저장 중 균수는 발효액의 산도에 의존하였고 산도를 낮추었을 때 생균수는 증가하였다. 이들을 혼합 배양하였을 때 발효제품의 산도와 생균수는 각각의 단독배양액에 비하여 더 컸으며 3주간 저장후 생균수도 100배 이상 컸다. 밤 용액의 발효에서 이들을 상업용 수입 종균제품과 비교하였을 때 24시간 배양엣 생균수가 더 많았다.

유전자 재조합 균주의 발효에 있어서 플라스미드의 안정성과 발효공정의 최적화에 대해 개략적으로 서술하였다. 클론된 DNA의 발현은 플라스미드의 안정성을 크게 저해하며, 저하된 플라스미드의 안정성은 재조합 균주의 생산성을 많이 떨어뜨린다. 최적 발효 조건은 각각의 숙주-벡터 시스템, 사용한 배지, 생성물 등에 따라 크게 변한다. 동일한 숙주-벡터 시스템의 경우도, 사용하는 배지에 따라 온도, 희석률 또는 성장속도에 의존하는 정도가 달라지고 또 최적값도 다 변한다. 또한 발효조건의 최적화가 균체 내 플라스미드의 자기복제,mRNA로의 전사, 단백질로의 translation, 더 나아가 미생물 전체의 생리와 밀접하게 관련이 있다.

Fermented soybean Mejus were prepared in the laboratory with varying lengths of fermentation and the changes in the Chemical composition during the Meju making were determined. The moisture of cooked soybean was gradually evaporated during the Meju fermentation, and after 2 months of fermentation the water level reached to the level of the raw soybean. The concentrations of crude fat, crude protein and ash of the dry matter of soybean did not change considerably during soaking, cooking and Meju fermentation of up to 3 months, whereas carbohyrates decreased significantly during soaking and Meju fermentation. The percentage retention of the nutrients were 58% for carbohydrates and 93% for crude fat and crude protein. The nitrogen solubility of soybean decreased drastically during cooking, from 79% to 21%, while Meju fermentation increased it to approximately 30% in the first week and this level remained constant for the duration of the fermentation. The concentration of free amino nitrogen in total nitrogen of soybean decreased during cooking, from 7% to 3%, but fermentation of Meju liberated it to the level of raw soybean. The concentration of free amino-nitrogen in the total-N of soybean was increased by cooking and further increased during Meju fermentation. The amino acid pattern of soybean did not change significantly during soaking, cooking and the Meju fermentation up to 3 months. Serine and the basic amino acids, lysine, arginine and histidine, decreased to the range $81{\sim}87%$ of the raw soybean during the first month of Meju fermentation and thereafter remained almost constant. The total amino acid per 16g nitrogen was 99 g incooked soybean and 93 g in 1 month Meju, indicating a 6% reduction.

순무(Brassica rapa L., Brassica campestris L.)는 십자화과에 속하는 채소로 무의 일종이다. 모양은 팽이와 유사하고 껍질은 적자색을 띄고 있다. 이를 원료로 한 연구로 피클, 젖산발효, 식이섬유소의 함량, 성분분석에 관한 연구 등이 보고되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 순무를 활용한 농가형 음료 및 식품 소재 개발의 일환으로 자당 첨가량과 발효온도를 달리하여 순무 발효액을 제조하고 이화학적 특성을 검토하였다. 순무는 강화군 농가에서 직접 구입하였다. 순무를 $4{\times}5{\times}1cm$의 크기로 세절하고 중량대비 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%의 자당을 첨가한 다음 $24^{\circ}C$에서 15일간 발효하였다. 또한 발효온도에 따른 변화는 60%의 자당을 첨가하여 $18^{\circ}C,\;24^{\circ}C,\;30^{\circ}C$에서 21일간 발효하였다. 시료는 3일 간격으로 채취하여 수율, 당도($^{\circ}Brix$), 산도(acetic acid, %), pH를 조사하였다. 자당 첨가량이 추출 수율에 미치는 영향은 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% 순으로 각각 39.14%, 55.38%, 53.56%, 55.72%로 40%를 첨가한 군을 제외하고 차이가 없었다. 당도와 pH는 자당 첨가량이 높을수록 증가하였고 총 산도는 각각 0.415, 0.446, 0.242, 0.194 (acetic acid, %)로 나왔다. 발효온도에 따른 당도와 pH의 변화는 시간이 경과할수록 감소하였으나 산도는 발효 15일 이후에는 $30^{\circ}C$가 $24^{\circ}C$보다 점차 높아졌다. 총산도의 변화는 $24^{\circ}C$와 $30^{\circ}C$에서 차이가 없었다. 본 실험의 결과에서 볼 때 순무발효액을 추출하기 위한 가공조건은 60~80%의 자당을 첨가하여 $24^{\circ}C$에서 15일간 발효하는 것이 적당한 것으로 사료된다.
