The objective of the present study is to elucidate the physicochemical and microbial properties of Korean traditional rice wine, Makgeolli, supplemented with mulberry during the fermentation process. Four hundred grams of mulberries (20% of the total amount of rice) were ground and incorporated into the rice solution (3.5 L of distilled water, 2.0 kg of rice, 28.0 g of yeast, and 80.0 g of nuruk). The rice solution was then placed in a water bath set at $28^{\circ}C$ and left to ferment for 7 days. The alcohol contents between the control and mulberry Makgeolli were not significantly different. The pH values of the control and mulberry Makgeolli decreased and the total acidity values were elevated after a 7-day fermentation. In the microbial analysis, the total viable cell count, lactic acid bacteria count and yeast count increased considerably through the 7-day fermentation process. For all the samples, the glucose and succinic acid contents were highest among all free sugars and organic acids, respectively. Forty-eight different volatile compounds were found in all the samples after the 7-day fermentation process.

This study is conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of kimchi with added Allium hookeri root (AHR) during a 56-day fermentation process at $4^{\circ}C$. AHR was added to salted cabbage at concentrations of 0, 5, 10, and 20% (w/w). The quality characteristics of the kimchi with added AHR were determined by measuring pH, acidity, salinity, reducing sugar, microbial amounts, and sensory evaluation. AHR had a higher level of crude lipid and potassium than other kinds within the Allium family. All kimchi with added AHR gradually decreased in the pH level compared to Baechu kimchi until 2 weeks, and kept a higher level of pH than Baechu kimchi until 8 weeks. Salinity showed a range of 1.87~2.43% over 8 weeks. The reducing sugar content showed no difference between all kimchi. In sensory evaluations, overall acceptance, taste and texture were highest in kimchi with added 10% AHR.

In this study, we evaluated the effects of sesame powder on the fermentation of Baechukimchi, by assessing sensory, physicochemical, and microbiological properties during up to 25 days of fermentation. The Baechukimchi, with various levels [0, 1, 2, 3, 4%(w/w)] of sesame powder, was fermented at $10^{\circ}C$. The product containing the control and 1% sesame powder evidenced the highest scores for appearance and smell. Taste and texture were highest in the 1% and 2% sesame powder, and the overall acceptability was highest in the 2% sesame powder sample. During fermentation, titratable acidity increased while pH gradually decreased. pH was higher in the sample with sesame powder than in the control, and the titratable acidity increased with increasing sesame powder content on day O. Reducing sugar increased sharply during fermentation, and then gradually decreased. In particular, the 2% sesame powder sample maintained the highest content. Total vitamin C was slightly increased at initial fermentation and then steadily decreased. The total polyphenol content and antioxidant effect of the experimental groups with added sesame powder were higher than those of the controls. Additionally, the time required to achieve maximum levels of lactic acid bacteria, as determined by log numbers of cells and total viable cells, were more delayed in the experimental groups with added sesame powder than in the controls. Our results indicated that the Baechukimchi with $1{\sim}2%$ added sesame powder was acceptable.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the microbiological and physicochemical characteristics, and the antagonistic activity against Helicobacter pylori ATCC 43504, of yogurt fermented with the lactic acid bacteria from Baikkimchi kept under cold storage. The viable cell counts, titratable acidity, viscosity, and total solid content of the yogurt were different according to the bacterial strains used for fermentation. There was no significant change (P>0.05) in the various properties of refrigerated yogurt. Among the tested strains, the strongest resistance against artificial gastric juice and bile salt was found for Lactobacillus brevis BK11 and Lactobacillus paracasei BK57. Due to high lactic acid levels obtained from these two lactic acid bacteria, yogurt may show good anti-Helicobacter effects according to the time-kill assay. In particular, yogurt fermented with L. brevis BK11 significantly reduced the number of H. pylori adhering to gastric epithelial AGS cells and the urease activity of this pathogen (P<0.05).

To enhance the shelf-life and quality of baechu kimchi, the effects of CSP(crab shell powder) addition to kimchi was investigated. Overall qualities were deteriorated by fish odor, chewiness of particles, sharp pH increase at the early fermentation stage; therefore in order to solve these problems kimchi fermentation was carried out with kimchi containing 1, 3, 5% CSPB for salted baech weight at $10^{\circ}C$ for 300ays. Quality of kimchi was evalutated by the measurement of pH, acidity, colour L, a, and b value, the number of microbe and lactic acid bacteria, texture. Ten highly trained panelists were involved in the sensory evaluation. During the entire fermentation periods, pH, hardness, colour L, a and b value, the number of lactic acid bacteria of kimchi with CSPB were higher than those of control, but acidity was lower. Sensory quality showed that sour taste of control at 15-day fermentation was already strong. However, sour taste, crispness taste, and overall taste of kimchi with CSPB untill 20-day fermentation were good. Especially, overall taste of kimchi containing 3% CSPB at 30-day fermentation was good, but that of kimchi containing 5% showed fish odor from the early periods of fermentation.
