An interspecific fusant was made from the protoplasts of two strains of Lactobacillus genus (L. bulgaricus and L.helveticus). And in order to test the applicability of the fusant in manufacturing the cheddar cheese, functional properties of the strain was examined by determining acid-producing activity, three important enzyme activities and volatile free fatty acid-producing activity. The recombinant strain did not exhibit greatly increased acid-porducing activity. Lipase and volatile free fatty acid-porducing abilities of the fusant, however, were remarkably higher than those of the two parental strains. The fusant actually porduced the cheese porduct of the highest ammount of total volatile free fatty acid after 7 days ripening at 10$^{\circ}C$. Finally, the cheddar cheese ripened with this strain was also evaluated to be high preference and flavor intensity by organoleptic panel tests.

Zoogloea ramigera 115 was selected for the production of viscous microbial polysaccharide for bioflocculants usage. Batch, fed-batch, and continuous culture processes were examined with regard to the high biopolymer production. Several carbon sources were tested, including glucose, lactose, molasses, and cheese whey. The C/N ratio of 90 was most effective for biopolymer production from glucose, while the C/N ratios of 30 for lactose and 60 for both molasses and cheese whey substrate gave a maximum production. Fed batch culture proved more effective to increase final biopolymer concentration than batch culture. Continuous fermentation with two stages modifying C/N ratio increased the productivity. The production rates were a maximum at dilution rate of 0.048 $hr^{-1}$ for molasses and at 0.096 $hr^{-1}$for cheese whey.

우울증은 동기, 의욕, 관심, 주의력, 정신기능 및 식욕의 감소를 특징으로 하는 일종의 기분 장애이다. 우울증은 유전적, 내분비 및 환경적 스트레스를 포함한 다양한 원인에 의해 발생하지만 가벼운 우울증은 식이요법으로 개선되는 것으로 보고되었다. 따라서 우울증 환자를 치료하기 위해서는 기능성 및 영양 보충제를 포함한 다양한 식품 공급원이 필요하다. 치즈에는 숙주 건강에 유익한 영향을 미치는 생리 활성 펩타이드가 포함되어 있다. 특히 저지(Jersey) 우유는 홀스타인(Holstein) 우유보다 고형분 함량이 높은 것으로 보고되었다. 이 연구는 저지(Jersey) 와 홀스타인(Holstein) 우유의 가우다 치즈(Gouda cheese)가 만성 스트레스(CUMS, chronic unpredictable mild stress)에 미치는 영향을 조사했다. 치즈를 먹인 만성 스트레스 마우스 모델의 개선적 변화는 젖소 종에 관계없이 통계적으로 유의미하게 효과적으로 나타났다. 흥미롭게도 PCR을 통한 분변 미생물 균총 분석에서 저지 치즈를 섭취함으로써 Bacteroidetes가 증가하고 Firmicutes가 유의적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 종합하면, 본 연구는 치즈 섭취가 스트레스 개선 작용이 있음을 제시하며, 특히 장내 미생물 균총의 유익한 방향으로의 변화가 관찰되는데, 치즈의 생리활성물질 혹은 장내미생물 균총의 대사물질들이 이러한 행동·정신학적 개선 작용과의 연관성이 있음을 시사한다.

In this study, we evaluated the alcohol degradation ability of fig enzyme in the production of cheese using Lactobacillus kitasatonis, Lactobacillus amylophillus, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides sub. The strains were highly resistant to ethanol, acid, and bile acid. When 10% of fig enzyme was added, the alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase activities in each strain were approximately 170, 270, and 190% higher, respectively, than in samples without fig enzyme. The addition of 10% of fig enzyme to produce cheese with the L. amylophillus strain showed an approximately 250% increase in alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase degradation. In conclusion, when fig enzyme was added to produce cheese using L. amylophillus, high alcohol degradation ability was observed. The applicability of fig enzyme addition was confirmed for the production of functional food.

The objective of this study was to characterize the lactate metabolism and lipolysis in Emmental cheese made of Korean raw milk throughout the ripening periods; 14 d at $10^{\circ}C$, 42 d at $23^{\circ}C$, and 30 d at $4^{\circ}C$. Emmental cheese was made using a commercial starter culture with propionic acid bacteria (PAB) and without PAB as a control on the pilot plant scale. Changes in the contents of five organic acids (citric, lactic, formic, acetic, and propionic acid) and individual free fatty acids (FFAs) were measured using HPLC/PDA and GC/FID. As a result of propionic fermentation by PAB, the concentration of acetic acid and propionic acid increased up to 1.5 and 6.1 g/kg, respectively and the most dramatic increased occurred when incubated in the hot room ($23^{\circ}C$). Lactic, citric, and formic acid contents were 2.6, 2.5 and 0.8 g/kg at the end of ripening, respectively. As a result of lipolysis, the amount of total FFAs was 6,628.2 mg/kg. Compared to the control, levels of individual FFAs from butyric (C6:0) to linoleic (C18:2) acids increased significantly (p<0.05) during the ripening period. Especially, 65.1% of total FFAs was released in the $23^{\circ}C$ room and the most abundant FFAs were palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0) and oleic acid (C18:1). These results demonstrated that the lipolysis of Emmental cheese was strongly affected by bacterial lipase from PAB.

This study was conducted to investigate the antibacterial activity of lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional fermented foods and to develop a new starter for fermented milk. The isolates were identified using 16S rDNA sequencing and named Lactobacillus plantarum A, Leuconostoc lactis B and L. acidophilus C. The activity of these strains to inhibit the growth of food-borne human pathogens (Escherichia coli NCTC 12923, Salmonella Typhimurium NCTC 12023, Listeria monocytogenes NCTC 11994) was measured using the paper disc method. All these strains showed strong antibacterial activity against Li. monocytogenes NCTC 11994. The experiment groups were the fermented milks with these strains, and the control group was the fermented milk with the commercial starter (ABT 5). The change of pH, acidity and viable cell counts were measured during their aging time. All the experiment groups showed a significant difference in their aging times compared to the control group. However, the sensory test showed that the experiment groups can be used as useful starters for fermented milk. This result suggests that L. plantarum A, Leu. lactis B and L. acidophilus C have the potential to be developed as new starters for fermented milk.

This study compared the quality characteristics of commercial Cheddar cheese of dairy types (DT) and vegan types (VT) using electronic sensory evaluation (nose and tongue) and texture profile analysis (TPA). The electronic nose detected acetaldehyde, 2-methylbutanal, and n-butanol in all samples, whereas 2,3-pentanedione and pentan-2-one were detected in DT1, VT1, and VT3. The electronic tongue detected various intensities of six tastes in the two types, regardless of the raw material. Principal component analysis by electronic sensory evaluation revealed the differences between the pattern for VT. The TPA results showed that the textures of DT and VT were not classified according to the raw material. However, the protein content affecting texture was <0.6% for VT compared with that for DT. These results are expected to be useful for establishing quality indicators in developing vegan cheese products with characteristics similar to those of dairy cheese.
