This study aimed to develop high value-added mulberry (Morus alba) vinegar by fermenting mulberry with yeast and acetic acid bacteria, for using it in various foods. To select the optimal strain for mulberry fermentation, different strains were tested and Saccharomyces cerevisiae SRCM101756 and Acetobacter pasteurianus SRCM102419, exhibiting excellent alcohol and acetic acid production ability during mulberry fermentation, were selected for fermentation. Mulberry vinegar was prepared using mulberry wine and the selected acetic acid bacteria, and the physicochemical properties and physiological effects were measured. The pH was 2.98 and total acidity was 4.70% by day 9 of fermentation, establishing the possibility of developing them into vinegars for industrial use. The angiotensin-glucosidase inhibition activity of mulberry vinegar increased from 13.22% to 19.19% in the 100-fold dilution, and from 42.35% to 46.11% in the 50-fold dilution, from before fermentation to after fermentation, respectively. The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition activity of mulberry vinegar was found to significantly increase from 44.82% before fermentation to 63.88% after fermentation in the 25-fold dilution. Moreover, a significant increase in pancreatic lipase inhibition activity after fermentation was observed. Thus, mulberry vinegar can be used as a functional material in vinegar and other foods.

Volatile flavor compounds of radish fermented by lactic acid bacteria were extracted using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 45 volatile flavor compounds were identified. The volatile flavor compounds in unfermented radish mostly consisted of sulfur-containing compounds (95.85%) and aldehydes (2.61%). While the composition ratio of volatile flavor compounds in radish fermented for two days changed to sulfur-containing compounds (75.53%) and acids (11.12%). As the fermentation period was increased, the contents of dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, diallyl sulfide, diallyl disulfide, and diallyl trisulfide, which have unique garlic and scallion flavor, decreased, and acetic acid and 1-hexanol, which have a sour and fruity flavor, increased. These changes in volatile flavor compounds seemed to have affected the flavor characteristics of fermented radish.

Objectives : To observe the effect of 4 kinds of Korean medicine and complex extracts on the anti-stress of chronic mild stress Rat model, so as to find out the machanism of its pharmacological effects. Methods : 64 healthy SD Rats were randomly divided into 8 groups. Model Design by chronic stress(CSM), and carried out the forced swimming test. We investigated the body weight, feed and water intake, feed conversion ratio and measured parameters to changes in swimming time, immobility time, 2 and 24 hours of feces, corticosterone hormone and blood glucose level. Results : In this experiments, body weight gain and feed intake were higher in all korean medicinal herb group. Swimming time were increased by Zizyphus jujuba and Gagamsanzointang(SZT) groups and immobility time was significantly lower by Zizyphus jujuba and Fluoxetine(FLX) groups. The result of corticosterone hormone level were significantly lower in Fluoxetine(FLX) and Gagamsanzointang(SZT) but blood glucose was not significantly difference. In 2 hours after fecal frequency result were significantly lower in Zizyphus jujuba group. but SZT group were increased. This result caused by acute stress but 24 hours of feces were restored to normal. Conclusions : 5 kind of Korean Medicinal Herbs extracts has good anti-stress effects, and also to clear the circulatory system and regulate blood glucose and improve bowel function. We suggest that use a single Korean medicine rather than the combination to relieve stress.

Background: This study was carried out to determine the physicochemical components of Rehmannia glutinosa (RG) fermented with Rhizopus delemar. Methods and Results: Physicochemical components such as changes in moisture content, pH value, total acidity, amount of reducing sugars as well as quantity of free sugars, free amino acids, and catalpol were investigated. Result showed that, the moisture content ranged from 64.26 to 65.51%. The pH and total acidity of the fermented RG decreased significantly during fermentation. The reducing sugar content ranged from 0.10 to 1.34%. The most abundant main free sugars were identified as raffinose, xylose, glucose, fructose, and sucrose. The sucrose content in 80% ethanol and in water extracts increased during RG fermentation. In total, 26 free amino acids were detected, including seven essential amino acids. In addition, the quantity of free amino acids decreased significantly during fermentation. Finally, the catalpol content of the fermented RG was highest on the $2^{nd}$ day of fermentation at 2,028.67 mg/ 100 g. Conclusions: These results indicated that fermentation of Rhizopus delemar could be used to enhance biological activity, and that fermented RG could be used as a functional material and as an edible resource in food and functional materials industries.

Anchovy soy sauce containing anchovy sauce was ripened in different vessels at 30$^{\circ}C$ for 4 months and measured in physical, chemical, microbiolgical and sensory quality attributes. The used vessels include glass, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), stainless, and onggi (Korean earthenware) with 628 mL. Compared to the other vessels, onggi gave the highest moisture loss, maintained consistently higher microbial counts in total aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, and attained high protease activity in the soy sauce product. Even with high moisture loss the onggi vessel did not produce the higher product salt content than the other vessels because there was salt diffusion outward through the container wall. All of these changes of the product in onggi resulted in lower pH, higher acidity and higher amounts of free amino acids and nucleotides after 4 month period, which was desirable for sensory quality.

In the present study, various experiments were performed to evaluate the biological activities, such as the antioxidant, anti-inflammation, and antimicrobial activities of sword bean (Canavalia ensiformis) fermentation filtrate by Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) and Lactobacillus brevis (L. brevis). Total polyphenol (TPC) and flavonoid contents (TFC) of sword bean were significantly decreased after fermentation regardless of Lactobacillus sp. (p<0.05). The DPPH radical scavenging activity of sword beans also decreased after fermentation. However, nitric oxide (NO) radical scavenging activity conspicuous increased after fermentation (p<0.001) in a treated concentration-dependent manner, and the effect for L. brevis was higher than for L. plantarum. In addition, the sword bean fermentation filtrate showed a strong inhibitory effect against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus sp., and Escherichia coli. Cell cytotoxicity was not exhibited in all experimental groups (data not shown). These findings suggest that the sword bean fermentation filtrate may be used effectively in various industries due to its high anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities.

This study aimed to investigate the differences in the isomaltooligosaccharides present during Makgeolli production according to the type of Nuruk used, fermentation period, and presence of microorganisms. Makgeolli was fermented for 15 days using three kinds of Nuruk (Soyul, Sansung, and Jinju) with and without microbial growth inhibitors. Isomaltooligosaccharide contents were analyzed using high performance anion exchange chromatography. The most abundant isomaltooligosaccharide was panose, which was highest in Makgeolli produced using Soyul Nuruk (SH) on day 6 (24.7 mM), followed by Makgeolli prepared using Sansung Nuruk (SS) on day 2 (18.2 mM) and Makgeolli prepared using Jinju Nuruk (JJ) on day 3 (10.8 mM). Isomaltotriose and isomaltotetraose, which were generated in the control, were not detected when microbial growth was suppressed. Based on these results, isomaltooligosaccharide production is affected more by the enzymes produced by microorganisms during Makgeolli fermentation than by Nuruk itself.
