Three kinds of salt-fermented Mytilus Edulis were produced: a Mytilus edulis seasoning sauce salt-fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55, a Mytilus edulis seasoning sauce salt-fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55 with teriyaki sauce added; and a A1ytilus edulis seasoning sauce salt-fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55 with plum added. The salt-fermented Mytilus edulis with teriyaki sauce was high in crude protein (11.44%), and the plum seasoning sauce was more or less high in crude fat. Among the amino acids of the ingredients, glutamic acid was the most abundant in all the samples. The sauce with the highest total amino acid content of 9,169.48 mg per 100 g was the salt-fermented Mytilus edulis that was fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55. Among the major fatty acids, C16:0 (palmitic acid), which is the main constituent of saturated fatty acid, was the most abundant; and the salt-fermented Mytilus edulis seasoning sauce that was fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55 with plum added had a slight high amount of C18:2 (linoleic acid). The sensory evaluation showed the following sauces receiving the highest scores in all the measurement items, in this order, though the difference in their scores was not statistically significant: the salt-fermented seasoning sauce with plum added and the salt-fermented seasoning sauce with teriyaki sauce added.

Effects of a supplemental fermented agro by-products diet on growth performance, blood characteristics and carcass traits were investigated in fattening pigs. The fermented diet mainly contained 38.0% brewer's grain, 25.0% rice bran and 21.0% byproduct of king oyster mushrooms. The mixed ingredients were fermented at $40^{\circ}C$ for 7 days and fed to crossbred barrow pigs for 62 days. Ninety pigs were housed in 10 head per pen with three replicate pens per treatment. The pigs in the control group were fed with formula feed, while the pigs in T1 group were fed 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% fermented diet substituted with formula feed on 1 week interval. Pigs in T2 group were fed 30, 60 and 100% fermented diet substituted with formula feed on 1 week interval. The fermented diet significantly (p<0.05) decreased body weight gain and feed efficiency of pigs. The blood characteristics differed with diet types. Carcass grade was significantly better (p<0.05) in the pigs fed fermented diet than in the pigs fed control diet as well as ratio of high grade was higher in the fermented diet groups. Therefore, although a dietary of fermented diet decreased growth performance and feed efficiency, it improved the carcass grade in pigs.

Salt-fermented fish and fish sauce are very important materials to make Kimchi. They provide good taste and plenty of nutrition to Kimchi during fermentation. However, it is difficult to purchase Korean salt-fermented fish or fish sauce out of Korea. Therefore, to generalize Kimchi for other countries, this research carefully compared the quality differences between Kimchi made with South East Asian fish sauce, which is fairly similar to traditional Korean salt-fermented anchovy extract (Aekjeot) in terms of taste and ingredients, and that made with traditional Korean salt-fermented anchovy extract. To determine quality differences among traditional Korean Kimchies made with different sauces, Korean-made salt-fermented shrimp, salt-fermented shrimp extract, salt-fermented anchovy and salt-fermented anchovy extract were used. Of the four Kimchis, the one made with salt-fermented anchovy extract was chosen as a control sample and compared with those made with three different South-East Asian fish sauces. In the sensory evaluation for acceptance of fish sauces, characteristics of taste, texture and overall acceptance showed significant differences. In the sensory evaluation for differences, characteristics of fish odor and crunchiness showed visible differences. For umami taste, all fish sauces received higher points than Korean salt-fermented anchovy extract (control sample), although the difference was not significant. Sensory evaluation and research results show that Kimchi can become a highly likable food overseas and Kimchi can substitute easily bought South-East Asian fish sauces for Korean salt-fermented fish sauces (Jeotkal).

Fermentation of wort was investigated with an ultimate goal to develop a fermented beverage rich in prebiotics and functional ingredients as well as desirable in flavors. Wort was fermented with Leuconostoc citreum HJ-P4 originated from kimchi and subjected to sensory descriptive analysis. L. citreum HJ-P4 produced various organic acids (e.g., lactic acid, acetic acid) as well as functional sugars (e.g., mannitol, panose) during wort fermentation. The concentration and ratio of lactic acid and acetic acid were significantly influenced by roasting conditions of malts used for wort preparation and aeration conditions during fermentation. The concentration of mannitol and panose varied depending on the sucrose content of wort and aeration conditions. Sensory characteristics of the fermented worts were clearly differentiated according to the roasting conditions of malts used for wort preparation and aeration conditions during fermentation. These results indicate that metabolite concentration of fermented wort and its sensory properties can be manipulated with roasting conditions of malts and fermentation conditions.

This study investigated the fermentation effect of Taraxacum platycarpum Dahlst. leaf extracts using Hericium ernaceum mycelia to test antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in vitro. The antioxidant activities of fermented or non-fermented extracts of T. platycarpum leaves were determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power, and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging activity. The leaf extract of T. platycarpum showed higher antioxidant activity than extract of fermented leaves. However, ethanolic extract of fermented T. platycarpum leaves decreased levels of nitric oxide production and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, fermented leaf extract suppressed protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase in RAW 264.7 cell culture. Therefore, the enhanced anti-inflammatory activity of ethanolic extracts of fermented T. platycarpum leaves might be attributed to the molecular conversion of leaf ingredients during fermentation and the active ingredients might have specific affinity with ethanol during extraction.

In order to enhance the flavor and storage stability of meat sauce, the manufacturing process of fermented beef-rib sauce was developed in a two-step process. The fermented sauce base was manufactured with Zygosaccharomyces rouxii Y-80 yeast cultivation in raw sauce ingredients for 3 days at $25^{\circ}C$. The fermented beef-rib sauce (FBS) was produced by mixing fermented sauce base with side ingredients. Comparison of the physicochemical and sensory properties with non-fermented beef-rib sauce (NFBS) revealed that the content of ethanol and volatile flavor compounds were higher in FBS; also, the result of sensory evaluation showed that FBS obtained excellent scores for overall taste. To determine the storage stability, FBS and NFBS were incubated at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The extent of decrease of pH and increase of titratable acidity in NFBS were faster than FBS. After 7 days, ethanol concentrations in FBS and NFBS were 3.77% and 2.04%, respectively. Therefore, based on these results, it can be suggested that storage stability of FBS is superior.

Kimchi is a fermented Korean vegetable product prepared using mafor raw materials (oriental cabbage and radish) and other ingredients through a series of processes of grading, brining, blending, and fermentation. Kimchi fermentation is initiated by various microorganisms originally present in the raw materials, but the fermentation is gradually dominated by lactic acid bacteria. Thus, the complex biochemical activities obviously occur during, before and after kimchi fermentation and their biochemical characteristics greatly differ, depending on the raw materials and processes used. This review covers in detail the numerous biochemical characteristics of sugars, organic acids, amino acids, vitamins(B complex, carotene and ascorbic acid), pectic substances, flavor components and others during preparation and preservation of kimchi.

Enterococcus species have been reported to produce unique flavoring ingredients in fermented dairy products. Generally, they were found in cheese and fermented dairy products. Enterococcus spp. produce extracellular polysaccharides and reduce blood cholesterol levels in humans. This study used heat-killed E. faecalis and E. faecium in yogurt production to increase safety during consumption. The addition of heat-killed E. faecalis and E. faecium to milk did not affect the fermentation time of yogurt production, the growth of starter cultures, and the viscosity of yogurt. These results concluded that heat-killed Enterococcus, rather than live Enterococcus, is sufficiently possible and even safer to be added to milk products. Enterococcus species could be used as a safe and functional food additive to fermented milk products and supplements in health foods.

We investigated the quality characteristics of dohwaju (fermented with peach flowers and branches, a Korean traditional alcoholic beverage) containing different sub-ingredients. During fermentation, the inner temperatures of the added sub-ingredient treatments were higher compared to non-treatment, and only peach branches treatment. showed the highest inner temperature. There were no significant differences in the physicochemical results among the treatments. pH decreased from the first mashing day to the second and then increased slightly until fermentation was terminated. Total acidities showed opposite patterns as compared to pH level. Amino acid contents, soluble solids, and alcohol contents increased steadily until the end of fermentation, whereas reducing sugar contents showed the opposite trend. In a preference survey, DB (only peach branches)-treated dowhaju showed the highest evaluation in terms of taste and overall acceptability with walues of $5.07{\pm}1.38$ and $5.57{\pm}1.16$, respectively. Based on the results of this study, we concluded that only peach branches treatment is optimal for the manufacture of dowhaju. We expect that the quality of dowhaju can be improved by providing basic information concerning its manufacture.

Herbal medicines are medicinal products containing a single or a mixture of two or more different herbal substances or herbal preparations as active principles. Recently, much attention has been paid to developing various kinds of fermented herbal extracts, a new type of traditional herbal medicine in the field of Korean traditional medicine. The fermentation of medicinal herbs is intended to exert a favorable influence on bioestability, bioavaliablilty and pharmacological activity of herbal extract in the gastrointestinal tract as well as intensifying the nutritional and pharmacological aspects of the medicinal herbs. The purpose of this study was to investigate biological activities of fermented Rehmanniae Radix by lactic acid bacteria at $30^{\circ}C$ for 3 days in comparison with those for Rehmanniae Radix The fermented Rehmanniae Radix exhibited different chemical profile to Rehmanniae Radix generated with HPLC, indicating production of new ingredients during fermentation. Rehmanniae Radix served as good nutritional sources for the growth of lactic acid bacteria showing increased number of bacteria during fermentation. Toxic effect of the fermented Rehmanniae Radix to cells were not seen judged by the MTT assay. The fermented Rehmanniae Radix exhibited better antioxidant effect than non-fermented Rehmanniae Radix analyzed by a SOD-likely assay. Both hypoglycemic and hypotensive effects of the fermented Rehmanniae Radix were also detected and better than those for Rehmanniae Radix in showing dose-dependent inhibitory effects on alpha-glucosidase and ACE, respectively. In conclusion, fermented Rehmanniae Radix appears to have more biological activities than non-feremented Rehmanniae Radix showing not only antioxidant effect but also cardiovascular protection.
