It is well known non-drug therapy for hypertension patients can reduce blood pressure. These types of therapy include maintaining ones ideal body weight, quitting smoking, consuming large amounts of fruits and vegetables consuming low levels of saturated fat and salt and regular exercise. Fermented milk protein derived biologically active peptides such as isoleucine-proline-proline_(IPP) or valine-proline-proline_(VPP) have been shown to lower blood pressure in hypertensive subjects. This study was conducted to investigate the antihypertensive effects of medical nutritional therapy _(MNT) in accordance with the consumption of fermented milk enriched with IPP and VPP. To accomplish this, we conducted a randomized case-controlled study of 43 subjects who had blood pressure levels greater than 120/80 mmHg. The subjects in the study group were randomly allocated into two groups, an MNT + fermented milk (100mL/day) group (n=21) and an MNT+L. helveticus fermented milk with tripeptides (IPP=2.2mg, VPP=2.6mg/100mL) group (n=22). The MNT included weight management, reduction of sodium, total fat and saturated fat intake, increased intake of fruits and vegetables, and increased intake of low fat dairy products. The treatments were administered for 12 weeks during which time no drug interventions were conducted. The daily intakes of total calories, fats, cholesterol and Na decreased significantly after 12 weeks of MNT in the control and the experimental groups. In addition, the systolic blood pressure de creased significantly in the control and experimental groups; however, the diastolic blood pressure only decreased significantly in the experimental group. Overall, the results of this study indicate that the intake of fermented milk containing IPP and VPP in conjunction with MNT exerted positive effects on the blood pressure of pre- and hypertensive subjects.

The purpose of this study was to optimize the fermentation condition of black bean by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and to evaluate the quality characteristics of fermented black bean. Lactobacillus plantarum SU22 isolated from kimchi was selected as a starter for the fermentation of black bean because the strain exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria and did not produce biogenic amines or a carcinogenic enzyme, β-glucuronidase. Fermentation was performed with broth containing puffed black bean (PBB) inoculated with 1% (v/v) of L. plantarum SU22 at 37℃ for 48h. The viable cell count of LAB was over 9 Log CFU/mL in PBB (20%) broth fermented with L. plantarum SU22. Fermentation of alcalase-treated PBB (20%) broth with L. plantarum SU22 was found to be the optimal condition, increasing viable cell count of LAB up to 10.30 Log CFU/mL. Under the optimal condition, the total polyphenol content (94.02 mg GAE/g) and DPPH radical scavenging activity (92.50%) were significantly increased, compared to non-fermented control (87.74 mg GAE/g, 83.14%).

Effects of monosodium phosphate, disodium phosphate, trisodium phosphate, ${\alpha}-polygel$, sodium ultrametaphosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate on the growth of bacteria, pH and acidity in single culture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and mixed-culture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus were investigated. Phosphates exerted definite effect in enhancing the growth of the bacteria and acidity of the fermented milk. For the single-culture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus monosodium phosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate were most effective in terms of bacterial growth and acidity, whereas for the mixed-culture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus monosodium phosphate and disodium phosphate showed the best results. In the presence of the phosphates, particularly of trisodium phosphate, the decrease of viable count of bacteria in fermented milk during storage was reduced significantly. The stability of the fermented milk prepared with the mixed-culture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus was improved by the addition of phosphates, particularly of monosodium phosphate.

식품자판기에 대한 미생물 기준이 마련되었다. 식품의약품안전청은 식품자판기 다류 커피 음료류에 대한 미생물기준을 담은 "식품의 기준 및 규격"를 일부 개정 고시했다. 이 기준이 마련된 것은 청결상태 등 위생관리가 불량하여 지속적으로 문제가 되고 있는 식품자동판매기 음료 등에 대해 효율적인 관리를 위한 기준이 필요하다는 판단 때문이다. 식품자판기 다류 커피 음료류에 적용되는 세균기준은 3,000/mL 이하(다만, 유가공품, 유산균, 발효제품 및 가열하지 아니한 과일 채소류음료가 함유된 경우는 제외)이어야 하며, 대장균은 음성이어야 한다. 이외 살모넬라(Salmonella spp.), 황색포도상구균(Staphylococcus aureus), 장염비브리오균(Vibrio parahaemolyticus), 클로스트리디움 퍼프린젠스(Clostridium perfringens), 리스테리아 모노사이토제네스(Listeria monocytogenes), 대장균 O157:H7(Escherichia coli O157:H7), 캠필로박터 제주니(Campylobacter jejuni), 여시니아 엔테로콜리티카(Yersinia enterocolitica) 등의 식중독균이 검출되어서는 아니 된다. 또한 가공식품에서 많이 검출되는 바실러스 세레우스(Bacillus cereus)는 g 당 1,000 이하(단 멸균제품은 음성이어야한다)이어야한다. 이번 미생물기준의 마련은 앞으로 법정기준을 위반시 처벌대상이 된다는 점에서 유의해야할 사항이다. 이전까지는 식품자판기에 대한 미생물기준이 마련이 되어 있지 않기 때문에 마땅한 법적인 처벌 기준이 없었던 게 사실이다. 따라서 자판기 운영업체에서는 보다 철저한 위생관리가 요구되고 있다. 위생점검에서 미생물 기준을 지키지 않은 지판기에 대해서는 법적 처벌 근거가 마련이 되는 만큼 식품자판기 위생성 향상에 만전을 기해야 할 것이다. 6월 16일 개정고시된 미생물기준은 7월 1일부터 적용된다.

Helianthus tuberosus is a perennial plant in the genus, Asteraceae. Pork potato has various pharmacological functions such as improving constipation, preventing bowel disease, inhibiting colon cancer, reducing serum cholesterol, lowering blood lipids, and enhancing blood sugar. This study investigated the physicochemical properties of fermented milk by adding Helianthus tuberosus powder. During the fermentation process, the pH of the fermented milk with added Helianthus tuberosus was higher after 16 hours of fermentation. At 48 hours of fermentation, the pH decreased to 3.70, 3.65, 3.63, and 3.59 with 0% (the control group), 1%, 3%, and 5% Helianthus tuberosus added, respectively. In the last 48 hours of fermentation, the acidity increased to 2.35%, 2.57%, and 3.17% with 0% (the control group), 1%, 3%, and 5% Helianthus tuberosus added, respectively. The number of lactic acid bacteria increased as the quantity of Helianthus tuberosus added increased. The highest number of lactic acid bacteria was 9.96 log CFU/g after 16 hours of fermentation with a 5% addition of Helianthus tuberosus . After 48 hours of fermentation, the amount of lactic acid bacteria decreased to 7.84 log CFU/g and 7.88 log CFU/g in the control group and the 1% added Helianthus tuberosus group, respectively. The addition of 3% and 5% Helianthus tuberosus increased the lactic acid bacteria count to 9.48 log CFU/ g and 9.81 log CFU/g, respectively. As the fermentation time increased, oxalic acid and tartaric acid decreased but lactic acid increased. Lactose degraded galactose and glucose over time. After 48 hours of fermentation, the viscosity in the control, 1%, 3%, 5% added Helianthus tuberosus groups increased to 1,006 cP, 1,026 cP, 1,040 cP, and 1,106 cP, respectively. The antioxidant effect was higher in the 5% added Helianthus tuberosus group (84.14%) than in the control group (80.39%) at 48 hours of fermentation. The concentration of polyphenol was 1.6 mg/g and antimicrobial activity was strong against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

We aimed to improve the flavor quality of plain yogurt, which is known to be sour and less desirable in flavor, varying concentrations of a buckwheat saccharification solution (BSS) were added to milk, followed by fermentation with commercially available mixed strains of lactic acid bacteria. Volatile compounds were analyzed using the gas chromatography-headspace-solid phase microextraction (GC-HS-SPME) method. Fermentation properties, including pH, titratable acidity, viable cells, viscosity, and color value were also measured. Eleven volatile compounds were identified with GC-MS. Of which, diacetyl, butanoic acid, and 2-heptanone proportionally increased as the levels of BSS increased. Undesirable compounds such as acetic acid and 2-butanone, decreased as BSS concentration increased. Fermentation properties were significantly altered with the addition of BSS. Our findings indicate that the flavor quality of plain yogurt can be improved by adding BSS for fermentation, with an additional health benefit from buckwheat.

Two strains of pure lactic acid bacteria capable of forming both acid and slime were isolated from the kefir made of goat milk. The isolated strains observed by morphological and physiological properties, and their 16S rDNA partial sequence were identified as Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus(LFG-1) and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lacits(LFG-2) with over 99% homology. The optimum temperature of Str. salivarius subs. thermophilus LFG-1 for growth was $40-45^{\circ}C$, and its generation time was 40.6 minutes. The final pH of cultured broth by Str. salivarius subsp. thermophilus LFG-1 and the commercial strain Str. thermophilus Body-1 for 24hr at $37^{\circ}C$ were 4.30 and 4.55, respectively. The coagulative activity of Str. salivarius subsp. thermophilus LFG-1 was almost as strong as that of commercial strain Str. thermophilus Body-1. However, the LFG-2 strain showed lower coagulative activity than Str. thermophilus Body-1. The survival rate of lactic acid bacteria were between 22-29% in 0.3% bile extract. At pH 1.0 all of the bacteria were killed, and most of lactic acid bacteria died against pH 3.0. However, all lactic acid bacteria survived well at pH 4.5.
