This study addresses the quality characteristics of commercial baechukimchi by analyzing its physicochemical characteristics and sensory properties in relation to fermentation time and temperature. The salinity of baechukimchi increased to 3.01% after 45 days of fermentation at 2 and $5^{\circ}C$, but decreased to 2.81% by 105 days. The pH decreased gradually at the beginning of fermentation, but decreased after 45 days. The acidity differed most between kimchi fermented at $2^{\circ}C$ (0.36%) and $5^{\circ}C$ (0.48%) at 45 days of fermentation. The vitamin C content was 8.47 mg% in kimchi fermented at both 2 and $5^{\circ}C$ on the day of initial production, then peaked after 45 to 60 days at 14.10 mg%, and decreased thereafter. The total microbial count gradually increased during the first 75 days of fermentation. The appearance and overall acceptability of baechukimchi were highest after 90 days of fermentation at $2^{\circ}C$ and after 60 days of fermentation at $5^{\circ}C$.

백김치 주스제조를 위한 실험의 일환으로 백김치 담금시 소금 농도와 발효 온도를 달리하였을 때의 발효중 pH, 총산도, 염도, 색도 및 관능적 성질 변화를 측정하여 최적 발효 조건을 알고자 하였다. 백김치는 파, 마늘, 생강 등의 부재료만을 첨가하고 최종 백김치액의 소금농도가 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 3.0%가 되게 제조하여 10, 20, 3$0^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 발효시켰다. 대체적으로 백김치의 pH는 염도가 높아질수록 감소속도가 느린반면 발효온도가 높을수록 빠른 감소를 보였다. 또 총산도는 pH와 반대로 발효시간이 경과하고 발효온도가 높을수록 증가하였으나 염도의 증가에 따라 산의 생성량은 적어 염도에 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 염도별 백김치의 관능적 평가에서 새콤한 맛과 신맛은 1$0^{\circ}C$에서는 소금농도 0.5%가 가장 높게 평가되었고 2$0^{\circ}C$에서는 0.5%와 1.0%가 유사하였으며 3$0^{\circ}C$에서는 0.5%가 가장 높은 반면 1.5%가 가장 낮은 강도를 나타내었고 기호도에서 가장 좋게 평가된 백김치의 소금농도는 1.0%였다. 또한 백김치의 발효온도에 따른 관능적 평가는 전체적으로 3$0^{\circ}C$가 다른 두 온도에서 보다 좋게 평가 되었으며 p>0.05의 범위에서 유의성을 보였다. 이상의 결과 백김치 주스를 제조하기 위한 가장 적절한 백김치의 담금 조건은 소금농도 1.0%의 백김치를 제조하여 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 발효시키는 것으로 나타났다.

The steady and dynamic shear rheological properties of traditional kochujang fermented at three different temperatures (20${^circ}C$, 25${^circ}C$ and 30${^circ}C$) were studied. Flow of kochujang samples showed time dependence, which was quantitatively described by the Weltman model, Kochujang samples were highly shear thinning fluids (n=0.25~0.27) with large magnitudes of Casson yield stresses (1.09~1.21 kPa). Consistency index (K) and apparent viscosity (${\eta}_{a,20}$) increased with increase in fermentation temperature of kochujang. Storage (G') and loss (G") moduli increased with increase in frequency (ω), while complex viscosity (${\eta}^{\ast}$) decreased. Based on dynamic shear data, kochujang samples exhibit structural properties similar to weak gels. The complex and steady shear viscosities at different fermentation temperatures followed the Cox-Merz superposition rule with the application of the shift factor (a=0.011~0.016).

To lower the cost of ethanol distillation of fermentation broths, a high initial glucose concentration is desired. However, an increase in the substrate concentration typically reduces the ethanol yield because of insufficient mass and heat transfer. In addition, different operating temperatures are required to optimize the enzymatic hydrolysis (50$^{\circ}C$) and fermentation (30$^{\circ}C$). Thus, to overcome these incompatible temperatures, saccharification followed by fermentation (SFF) was employed with relatively high solid concentrations (10% to 20%) using a portion loading method. In this study, glucose and ethanol were produced from Solka Floc, which was first digested by enzymes at 50$^{\circ}C$ for 48 h, followed by fermentation. In this process, commercial enzymes were used in combination with a recombinant strain of Zymomonas mobilis (39679:pZB4L). The effects of the substrate concentration (10% to 20%, w/v) and reactor configuration were also investigated. In the first step, the enzyme reaction was achieved using 20 FPU/g cellulose at 50$^{\circ}C$ for 96 h. The fermentation was then performed at 30$^{\circ}C$ for 96 h. The enzymatic digestibility was 50.7%, 38.4%, and 29.4% after 96 h with a baffled Rushton impeller and initial solid concentration of 10%, 15%, and 20% (w/v), respectively, which was significantly higher than that obtained with a baffled marine impeller. The highest ethanol yield of 83.6%, 73.4%, and 21.8%, based on the theoretical amount of glucose, was obtained with a substrate concentration of 10%, 15%, and 20%, respectively, which also corresponded to 80.5%, 68.6%, and 19.1%, based on the theoretical amount of the cell biomass and soluble glucose present after 48 h of SFF.

Use of raw feedstuffs for livestock is limited by low digestibility. Recently, fermentation of feedstuffs has been highlighted as a new way to improve nutrient absorption through the production of organic acids using inoculated microorganisms, which can also play a probiotic role. However, standard procedures for feedstuff fermentation have not been clearly defined because the process is influenced by climatic variation, and an analytical standard for fermented feedstuffs is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the microbiological and biochemical changes of feedstuffs during fermentation at temperatures corresponding to different seasons (10℃, 20℃, 30℃, and 40℃). We also investigated the effects of yeast, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and Bacillus spp. on fermentation and determined the results of their interactions during fermentation. The viable cells were observed within 8 days in single-strain fermentation. However, when feedstuffs were inoculated with a culture of mixed strains, LAB were predominant at low temperatures (10℃ and 20℃), while Bacillus spp. was predominant at high temperatures (30℃ and 40℃). A significant drop in pH from 6.5 to 4.3 was observed when LAB was the dominant strain in the culture, which correlated with the concentrations of lactic acid. Slight ethanol production was detected above 20℃ regardless of the incubation temperature, suggesting active metabolism of yeast, despite this organism making up a marginal portion of the microbes in the mixed culture. These results suggested that fermentation temperature significantly affects microbiological profiles and biochemical parameters, such as pH and the lactic acid concentration, of fermented feedstuffs. Our data provide valuable information for the determination of industrial standards for fermented feedstuffs.

Benzoic acid is occasionally used as a raw material supplement in food products and is sometimes generated during the fermentation process. In this study, the production of naturally occurring yogurt preservatives was investigated for various starter cultures and incubation temperatures, and considered food regulations. Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus plantarum, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Bifidobacterium breve were used as yogurt starter cultures in commercial starters. Among these strains, L. rhamnosus and L. paracasei showed the highest production of benzoic acid. Therefore, the use of L. rhamnosus, L. paracasei, S. thermophilus, and different incubation temperatures were examined to optimize benzoic acid production. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on a central composite design was performed for various incubation temperatures (35-44℃) and starter culture inoculum ratios (0-0.04%) in a commercial range of dairy fermentation processes. The optimum conditions were 0.04% L. rhamnosus, 0.01% L. paracasei, 0.02% S. thermophilus, and 38.12℃, and the predicted and estimated concentrations of benzoic acid were 13.31 and 13.94 mg/kg, respectively. These conditions maximized naturally occurring benzoic acid production during the yogurt fermentation process, and the observed production levels satisfied regulatory guidelines for benzoic acid in dairy products.

본 논문에서는 다양한 온도조건에서 발효한 퇴비차의 항진균 효능에 관한 연구내용을 제시하였다. 최근에 많은 농가에서 일반 대중의 친환경 농산물에 대한 선호에 부응하고 식물병 예방을 위하여 퇴비차를 선택하고 있다. 퇴비차에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되었으나 아직 퇴비차에 대한 이해가 부족하고 퇴비차가 발효되는 동안 온도가 항진균 효과에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 없었다. 본 연구에서는 10, 20, 30, $40^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 퇴비차의 항진균 활동이 본 연구에서 선정한 10종의 병원성 미생물에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 결과에 따르면 20에서 $30^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 퇴비차의 항진균 활동이 가장 강한 것으로 나타났으며 $10^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 퇴비차가 가장 약한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 발효온도가 항진균 활동에 미치는 변화는 퇴비차의 미생물이 항진균 활동에 강하게 개입하고 있음을 시사해주고 있다.

This study was conducted to develop the fermentation kinetic modeling for the prediction of pH and acidity changes in kimchi at isothermal and nonisothermal fermentation temperatures(0~15$^{\circ}C$) and salt concentrations(1.5~4.0%) using the traditional two-step method and alternative one-step method. The calculations of the two-step method of pH and acidity change during fermentation followed the pattern of the first order and zero order, respectively. The reaction rate constant of pH by the first order was increased from 0.008 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} to 0.017 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} by increasing the temperature from $0^{\circ}C$ to 15$^{\circ}C$ at 2.75% of salt concentration, and was decreased from 0.013 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} to 0.010 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} by increasing the salt concentration from 1.5% to 4.0% at 5$^{\circ}C$. For the pH and acidity of Kimchi, the zero order had a higher correlation than the first order to the estimate of the kinetics parameters by the one-step method. The {TEX}$E_{a}${/TEX} ranges of pH and acidity were 61.057~66.086 and 62.417~68.772 kJ/mole with different temperatures and salt concentrations. This one-step method had smaller and more realistic estimates of error(p〈0.05). The effective temperatures, {TEX}$T_{eff}${/TEX}, with 0~15$^{\circ}C$ of square function type of 12 hr intervals were 12.85, 11.48 and 12.46$^{\circ}C$ as increasing the salt concentration, 1.50, 2.75 and 4.00%, respectively. The {TEX}$T_{eff}${/TEX} were higher values than the mean temperature(7.5$^{\circ}C$).

For an extension of the palatable stage in Kimchi which was limited by further lowering pH as the fermentation proceeds, the starter culture of bacteriocin-producing Enterococcus faecium DU 0267 obtained from Kimchi was added at the preparation time, and pH, bacteriocin activity, growth of lactic acid bacterial group and gas production in Kimchi were examined during the fermentation at 10, 20 and 30$\circ$C . The pH of Kimchi fell rapidly to 4.0~4.2 in the early fermentation stage, and then, has gone down very slowly throughout further fermentation. The lactic acid bacte- ria, particularly lactobacilli and leuconostoc, were remarkably slower in its growth than those in the control. Although the patterns of these change during fermentation at different temperatures were similar, these effects by the addition of starter were enhanced at 10 and 20$\circ$C. The bacteriocin activity was increased rapidly during log phase of the bacteriocin producer strain in the early fermentation stage of Kimchi and reached their maximum after fermentation at 10$\circC, for 8 days and at 20 or 30$\circ$C for 2 days. Thereafter, the activity disappeared quickly. The gas production by fermentation was also suppressed considerably, and their volume produced after fermentation at 20$\circ$C for 14 days corresponded to 60% of those of the control.
