In order to determine the effect of tomato(Lycopersicon escylentnm mill ssp.) on the yogurt quality, skim milk powders were added with tomato juice of 0%, 1%, 3%, 5% and fermented by mixed culture(Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. The results were summarized as follows: 1. Addition of tomato juice in skim milk decreased pH(4.3) and increased acidity(0.93%) more than control did(pH 4.6, titratable acidity 0.85%). By the addition of tomato juice, acid production was increased and pH was decreased in proportion to concentrations of tomato juices added to skim milk. 2. The number of lactic acid bacteria in yogurts added with tomato juice ($4.59{\times}10^{12}cfu/ml$) more increased than those in control yogurt($8.96{\times}10^{11}cfu/ml$). By the addition of tomato juice, the number of lactic acid bacteria counts increased in proportion to concentration of tomato juices added to skim milk. 3. As fermentation time goes by, the Brix degree sugar content in skim milk were decreased more rapidly than control. 4. The pH, titratable acidity, Brix degree and lactic acid bacteria were not significantly changed for all yogurts for the storing at $5^{\circ}C$ for 14 days. 5. In yogurt fermentation, addition of tomato juice with glucose (1% tomato juice + 4% glucose, 3% tomato juice + 2% glucose, 5% tomato juice + 0% glucose) decreased pH and increased acidity than control(5%glucose) did. In addition of tomato juice, acidity was increased and pH was decreased in proportion to concentration of tomato juices added to skim milk. 6. In yogurt fermentation, the number of lactic acid bacteria of yogurt added with tomato juice(1% tomato juice+4% glucose, 3% tomato juice+2% glucose, 5% tomato juice+0% glucose) increased than control(5% glucose). In addition of tomato juice, the number of lactic acid bacteria increased in proportion to concentration of tomato juices added to skim milk. 7. As fermentation time goes by, the Brix degree were decreased more rapidly than control(5% glucose). By the change of pH, titratable acidity, Brix degree and lactic acid bacteria, in yogurt fermentation, we definited that the promotive effect of tomato(Lycopersicon escylentnm mill ssp.) on the yogurt.

In the present study, offsprings of 14 sows were used to evaluate the effect of fermented milk substituted for creep feed to analyze its effect on growth performance, diarrhea score and blood profiles. The piglets of sows were randomly allocated into 1 of 2 treatments (1 treatment separated piglets of 7 sows). The dietary treatments includes: CF (creep feed) and FM (fermented milk). The CP and FM diets were given from 3 d after piglets were born to the day of weaning (21 d after piglets were born). No significant difference (P>0.05) were observed in number of born piglets, weaning pigs, survival rate, body weight of piglets at d 0, 7, 14, and 21, ADG and ADFI. At d 21, piglets fed with CP had a higher (P<0.05) IgG compared with piglets fed with FM. No significant difference (P>0.05) was observed in WBC among the treatments at d 21. At d 6, piglets fed with CP had a lower (P<0.05) number of diarrhea piglets compared to piglets fed with FM. In conclusion, FM substituted for CP had no adverse effect on growth performance in lactating piglets.

This study investigated the fermentative characteristics and immunomodulating activity in Kimchi added with various salts (salt replacement and herb-salt with Acanthopanax senticosus and Glycyrrhizae uralensis) for the reduction of Na concentration in Kimchi. Kimchi using a salt replacement and herb-salt showed a higher level of acidity (0.8~0.84%) than that of the control (0.7%) at 7-day fermentation. Kimchi using a salt replacement and herb-salt showed a lower level of salinity (1.72~1.98%) than that of control (2.3~2.57%) during fermentation. The growth of Lactobacillus spp. and Leuconostoc spp. recorded the highest level ($2.3{\times}10^8$ and $2.8{\times}10^6cfu/g$, respectively) in control at 6 day-fermentation. However, those levels in Kimchi prepared with salt replacement and herb-salt were $3.5{\sim}5.4{\times}10^8$ and $6.1{\times}10^6cfu/g$, respectively. It is assumed that the high level of acidity of Kimchi prepared with salt replacement and herb-salt was caused by the increase in the growth of Lactobacillus spp. and Leuconostoc spp.. When the macrophage stimulating activity of salt replacement kimchi (Salt-R kimchi) supplemented with hot-water extract from Acanthopanax sentisus (AS) or Glycyrrhiza uralensis (GU) was investigated on aging period, Salt-RA kimchi with AS 5% at 6 days (2.78-fold of saline control at $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) and Salt-RG kimchi with GU 5% at 9 days (2.02-fold) significantly increased compared to the Salt-RA kimchi without AS or GU. In addition, Salt-RAG kimchi with AS 3% and GU 3% improved the bitter taste of Salt-RA and potently stimulated the macrophage at 6 days (1.28-fold of Salt-R kimchi) even though its activity was lower than Salt-RA (5%, 1.39-fold).

This experiment was carried out to examine the fermentation properties of yogurt with Lycii fructus, Lycii folium and Lycii cortex powder, and extract additives at concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0%. Lactic acid bacteria was used in a mixed starter culture of Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus(ST36) and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus(LB12). When the boxthorn was added with extract types, the changes of pH, acidity and lactic acid bacteria counts of yogurt during the fermenation of 3 hours were pH 5.64, titratable acidity 0.85%, 5.80xl0$\^$6/cfu/ml of viable cell counts for control yogurt, whereas those were pH 4.10∼5.06, titratable acidity 0.98∼1.27%, 1.80∼9.60x10$\^$7/ cfu/ml of viable cell counts for Lycii fructus extract yogurt. The lactose hydrolysis ratio was better for 1.0% Lycii fructus extract yogurt(42.00%) and 1.0% Lycii folium extract yogurt(41.46%) than for control yogurt(28.40%). Also, content of lactic acid of 1.0% Lycii fructus(11.9 times) and 1.0% Lycii folium extract yogurt(10.6 times) produced more than control yogurt(7.3 times). The viscosity of yogurt was better for boxthorn extract yogurt(1,027∼1,382 cps) than for control yogurt(975cps). The sensory scores of color, taste and overall acceptability of yogurt with 0.5, and 1.0% Lycii fructus extract additive were better than other groups. The yogurts made with increased Lycii fructus extract concentration(0.5∼6.0%), showed the increase of lactic acid, titratable acidity, number of lactic acid bacteria, viscosity and lactose hydrolysis rate compared to the treatments of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0% Lycii folium and Lycii cortex extract and powder yogurt. We gained excellent results from the yogurt to which Lycii fructus extract was added with 0.51.0% concentration.

Quality characteristics of commercial yoghurt powder products marketed in Korea were compared. According to the product type classification, no product met the product identity of "fermented milk powder" (six were identified as "other processed product" and nine as "sugar product"). Titratable acidity of products (10%, w/v) varied from 0.11 to 0.82% while numbers of lactic acid bacteria varied from 0 to $1.4{\times}10^8CFU/g$. There were significant differences in hydration properties and viscosity of yoghurt powder products. Some regulations are required to avoid consumer misunderstanding of beneficial health effects of yoghurt powder products.

In making liquid yoghurt, the influences of proteolytic ability of lactic acid bacteria on acid production and on protein stability were investigated. L. bulgaricus CH-2, L. helviticus IAM 1042 and L. jugurti 3048 showed a comparatively high proteolytic activity in milk, while L. casei YIT 9018 did not show any marked proteolysis. Starter organisms having high proteolytic ability showed more rapid growth and acid production than those having low ability in milk. The most active proteolysis occurred during logarithmic growth phase of yogurt organisms, and most of the proteolysis took place in the first 24-48 hrs of incubation. Highly proteolysed yogurts made by L. bulgaricus CH-2, L. jugurti 3048, L. helviticus IAM 1042, L. acidophilus L-54 and L. casei 3012 had low protein solubility at pH 3.5 and had much protein precipitates during storage of product, but those having little protein hydrolysates made by L. casei YIT 9018 or artificial acidification showed no precipitation during keeping.

This study was conducted to investigate the fermentation forms of goat milk, and the changes in the flavor of goat milk fermented using single and mixed strains of commercial Lactobacilli during storage. The mixed strains reached a lower pH more quickly than the single strains. The mixed strains also had higher rates of Lactobacillus proliferation. The tastes detected in sensory tests can differ depending on the skill levels of the panel, making it difficult to obtain reproducible and objective data when numerous samples are analyzed. Therefore, we measured changes in flavor during storage using taste sensors. The taste sensors measured diverse flavor changes in goat milk fermented using single strains and mixed strains. Notably, this study is the first in our country to measure changes in the taste and composition of fermented milk during cold storage using taste sensors. This work could have great value for the maintenance and monitoring of dairy products within their expiration dates.

GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) has various beneficial effects on human health such as anti-hypertension, diuretic, tranquilizer, sleep induction and anti-stress functions. In this study, the properties and the antioxidizing effects of a fermented solution was investigated by applying GABA producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from kimchi to corn silk extract. Lactobacillus plantarum LAB459 was identified by physiological properties, carbohydrate fermentation pattern and 16s rRNA sequence analysis. Also, the GABA production ability of the separated L. plantarum LAB459 was confirmed through TLC and HPLC analysis. Moreover, from the fermentation of corn silk extract with skim milk, it was revealed that approximately 1 ㎍/mg of GABA produced by lyophilized ferments was yielded. Lastly, the flavonoid content and DPPH radical scavenging activity were found to be high in the lyophilized ferments than in the aqueous extracts. Therefore, L. plantarum LAB459 is considered to be used as a starter culture for various fermented foods or in food and medicinal materials.

Effects of fermented milk were tested in Sprague-Dawley male rats. In six treatment 150 rats were fed for 12 months: (1) normal control synthetic pellets+water, (2) cholesterol control synthetic pellets containing 1% of cholesterol and 500, 000 IU of vitamin D2/100 g (cholesterol pellets) +water, (3) cholesterol pellets+25% fermented milk, (4) cholesterol pellets+50% fermented milk, (5) cholesterol pellets+75% fermented milk, (6) cholesterol pellets+100% fermented milk. In 3, 6, 9, 12 months, rats were sacrificed for analysis of samples. Rats received the fermented milk had significantly lower (p<0.05) serum cholesterol levels and higher ratios of HDL-cholesterol to total cholesterol than did the water fed rats. Stomach, heart, abdominal aorta and kidney of rat from fermented milk group showed slighter calcification or necrosis than did those of rat from cholesterol control group. Weight gain, diet intake, and drink consumption were significantly different among groups. Results indicate that fermented milk had a helpful effect of experimental hypercholesteremia and atherosclerosis.
