The effects of adipic acid on the growth of psychrotrophic kimchi lactic acid bacteria and on the fermentatation of mulkimchi were investigated. Four Leuconostoc and one Lactobacillus species were isolated from kinnchi fermented for 50 days at 6$^{\circ}C$. The growth inhibition rate of adipic acid on psychrotrophic kimchi lactic acid bacteria and control strain, Leuconostoc mesenteroides KCCM l1324, was gradually increased from 0.1% of adipic acid concentration and its growth inhibition rate on selected strains reached 90% at 0.4% addition of adipic acid. On the bases of these results, the Preservative effect of adipic acid on the fermentation of mulkimchi was investigated for 25 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$. The pH of mulkimchi containing adipic acid was lower than that of control mulkimchi at the beginning of fermentation. However, the pH of the control mulkimchi decreased rapidly and the pH is lower at the end of fermentation than that of all samples containing adipic acid. The control increased rapidly during fermentation at the acidity. Adipic acid inhibited the growth of several microorganisms in mulkimchi including Lactobacilli. The number of Lactobacilli in control mutkimchi increased rapidly at the beginning stage of fermentation and it decreased at the end stage due to lowering of pH. However, that of mulkimchi with adipic acid slowly increased. Addition of 0.2% ethyl alcohol showed increase of preservative effect of 0.1% adipic acid in mulkimchi.

Non sticky short grain rice was liquidized by ${\alpha}-amylase$ from Bacillus species after cooking 20min at $121^{\circ}C$ and a lactic acid bacteria fermentation proceeded. The product using mixed culture of S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus and L. plantarum was superior than the one of any single or mixed culture. The most acceptable pH of it was 3.70. It is suggested that L. plantarum is more deeply related to the product quality. Skim milk promoted lactic acid fermentation but the quality of the final product was not acceptable in the result of sensory evaluation. The acceptable dilution rate of final product was 1:3 (rice: water) by weight.

Soy yogurt beverage (SYB) was preapred from soy protein isolate. The effort of stabilizers or pH adjustment on the sedimentation of SYB curd and the microbiological quality of SYB during storage were investigated. The curd in SYB precipitated significantly during the first 24 hours of storage and the sedimentation of curd could be reduced by the addition of proper amount of CMC or PGA. The sedimentation of curd was also retarded by adjustment of pH of SYB. When SYB prepared by Lactobacillus acidophilus was kept at $5^{\circ}C$ for 48 days, the number of viable cells was not changed and titratable acidity increased gradually. When SYB prepared by L. bulgaricus was kept at $5^{\circ}C$ for 48 days, the number of viable cells decreased slightly and titratable acidity increased gradually.

It has been recognized that high level of serum cholesterol is a risk factor associated with atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Ingestion of probiotic lactic acid bacteria(LAB) in Kimchi would possibly be a method to decrease serum cholesterol in humans, as it was reported. In vitro culture experiment evaluated the effects of LAB(Leu. citreum, Lac. plantarum, Leu. mesenteroides, Weissella kimchii, W. confusa) extracted from Kimchi on cholesterol reduction in the MRS broth containing soluble cholesterol. Experimental strain of Leu. citreum and Leu. mesenteroides dominated in the first phase of Kimchi fermentation reduced the level of cholesterol 55.64% and 56.37%, respectively. Also, cholesterol lowering-effect was observed in over 55% of Lac. plantarum, W. kimchii and W. confusa strains, which were dominated in the end phase of fermentation. Our results suggest that selected probiotic LAB from Kimchi have an excellent cholesterol reducing effect in in vitro culture.

겨자의 가수분해 시간에 따른 향균력을 비교하고, 각종 미생물에 대한 겨자 물 추출물의 최소 저해 농도 및 최소 저해 투여량을 측정한 결과 다음과 같았다. 겨자의 자가분해 시간에 따른 물 추출물의 향균성은 처음에 아주 약하게 나타났던 것이 12시간 방치 후 크게 증가하였다. 최대 항균활성은 24시간 방치 후 나타났으며 이후 거의 변하지 않았다. 겨자를 첨가한 물의 산도는 시간이 지남에 따라 증가하였고, 겨자의 농도가 클수록 그 정도가 크게 나타났다. $37^{\circ}C에서$ 24시간 자가분해한 겨자 물 추출물의 MID는 Bacillus subtilils가 $70\mu1/disc로$ 다른 실험 균주에 비하여 낮았으며, 젖산균이 $95\mu1/disc로서$ 높게 나타났다. MIC는 Bacillus subtilils, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium 및 Vibrio parahaemolyticus 균이 $70\mu1/ml로$ 다른 실험 균주에 비하여 낮게 나타났으며, 젖산균 곰팡이에서 $90\mu1/ml로$ 높게 나타났다. 자가분해 시간에 따른 겨자물 추출물의 중류성분은 자가분해 시간이 지남에 다라 점차 증가하는 경향이었고, isothiocyanate 류의 함량은 24시간 때에 최대치를 나타내었다.

In order to evaluate the effects of addition of soybean boiling waste liquor (SBWL) and sugar and inoculation of the lactic acid bacteria and yeast starter culture in Korean traditional kanjang mash, three types of kanjang were prepared in a clay pot of 100 l volume and compared the characteristics of lactic acid fermentation. The mashing compositions of the types of kanjang were as follows: (1) control treatment mash was prepared with meju : 20% salt solution (1:4) and SBWL, (2) kanjang mash with 3.5% added sugar to the control type mash and (3) kanjang mash with 3.5% added sugar and inoculation of the lactic acid bacteria and yeast starter culture 35 days after mashing to the control type mash. (1), (2) and (3) of kanjang mash were found to be effective in increasing the lactic acid content and improving the organoleptic characteristics of kanjang. But the effect of yeast starter culture was not clear because osmophilic yeasts were inhibited by metabolite(acetic acid) produced by lactic acid bacteria. The lactic acid content of (1), (2) and (3) kanjang was 2.05, 2.38 and 2.91% respectively in 90 day-matured kanjang.

To develop natural food preservatives, ethanol and water extracts were prepared from the cornus (Cornus of officianalis) and antimicrobial activities were examined against 10 microoganisms which were food borne pathogens and/or food poisoning microoganisms, food-related bacteria and yeasts. Ethanol extract exhibited antimicrobial activity for the microoganisms tested, except lactic acid bacteria and yeast. Especially, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the ethanol extracts were determined as 0.25 mg/mL against bacteria and 2 mg/mL against target lactic bacteria and yeasts. Antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extracts were not destroyed by the heating at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 15 min and not affected by pH. The ethanol extract of cornus exhibiting high antimicrobial activities were fractionated in the other of diethylether and butanol fractions to test antimicrobial activity The antimicrobial activity adjust bacteria test was highest in the ethanol fraction.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the addition of sourdough to bread dough, specifically with regard to the physicochemical characteristics of bread dough, organoleptic evaluation, and bread storage. Marked increases in lactic acid bacterial counts $10^{9-10}CFU/g$ in dough samples with 30, 50, and 100% of added sourdough to the respective bread dough were observed after the first fermentation period of the dough, but decreases were observed in yeast cells. The highest overall acceptance scores were recorded for the 100% sourdough-added bread, and almost no differences in taste and texture were detected between the regular bread (control bread) and sourdough-added bread on the sensory evaluations, with slightly lower evaluation scores (for sour taste) in the sourdough-added bread. The sourdoughadded bread also showed retarded mold growth in the bread on our storage tests. Six days had elapsed prior to the appearance of mold growth in the sourdough-added bread, whereas three days elapsed in the regular bread. The more sourdough was added to the dough, the less was the total count in bread. Increases of 13.1, 20.9, and 36.2% in the retardation of starch retrogradation of the bread were observed as the result of additional increases in sourdough quantity to bread at 30, 50, and 100%, respectively.
