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 experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindley) extract on the acid production and growth of lactic culture in reconstituted skim milk. The supplementation level of loquat extract to reconstituted skim milk was 10％, 15％ and 20％. Reconstitued skim milk containing loquat extract was fermented by single of mixed culture of Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei. General compositions of loquat extract, changes of viable cell count, pH and titratable acidity during fermentation were determined. Chemical compositions of loquat extract were 91.5％ moisture, 0.2％ crude ash, 8.6$^{\circ}$ Brix soluble sugar, 0.34％ total acid, and 4.11 in pH. Supplementation of loquat extract stimulated acid roduction and growth of lactic acid bacteria. Among supplementation levels, a group that was fermented by a single culture of Str. thermophilus with 10％ loquat extract was shown the highest viable cell count (2.10${\times}$10$\^$9/ CFU/mL) at 12 hours after inoculation. When loquat extract was added to reconstituted skim milk at the level of 10％, all mixed cultures of lactic acid bacteria showed higher acid production and the number of viable cell count than 3 kinds of single cultures. Especially, the growth of mixed culture of Str. thermophilus and Lac. acidophilus was promoted by the addition of 10％ loquat extract. Therefore, it was suggested to manufacture the yoghurt with the addition of 10％ loquat extract and the inoculation of mixed culture of Str. thermophilus and Lac. acidophilus for on the stimulation of growth of the lactic culture.

Sparassis latifolia is a useful medicinal mushroom that has recently gained popularity in Asia. It has a rich flavor and is a good source of nutrients contains a large number of polyphenols for a functional food or dietary supplement. In addition, S. latifolia is rich in beta-glucan and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). These two compounds have been reported to show immune-stimulating and anticancer effects by numerous studies. In this study, four species of lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum, L. acidophilus, L. helveticus, and L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus) were used to ferment the fruiting body of S. latifolia. Fermented S. latifolia extracts were found to have a higher polyphenol content and antioxidant activity following fermentation as well as increased protease activity.

The puree of Rubus coreanus was fermented using lactic acid bacteria and its biological activities were examined. Lactobacillus acidophilus KCCM 32820, L. casei KCCM 12452, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis KCCM 40104, and Streptococcus thermophilus KCCM 40430 were used as a single or mixed starter for the lactic acid fermentation, and their cultures at the late logarithmic growth phase were inoculated to final concentration of 2% (v/v). L. casei fermented the puree of Rubus coreanus best when used as a single starter, and the culture of L. casei and L. lactis with the inoculation ratio of one to one showed the highest fermentation activity when used as a mixed starter. However, the fermented broth of the puree of Rubus coreanus using L. acidophilus and S. thermophilus showed the best results in the sensory evaluation. The optimal lactic acid fermentation conditions were as follows; the concentration of oligosaccharide added was 1% (w/v), pH of puree and fermentation temperature were 4.0 and $37^{\circ}C$, respectively, and fermentation time was $72{\sim}96$ hours. Glucose and fructose were major free sugars, and the content of lactic acid was 698.2 mg/100 g in the fermented broth. The fermented broth of the puree of Rubus coreanus showed the electron donating ability and nitrite scavenging ability with the value of 69% and 38.3% at pH 1.2, respectively. SOD-like activity and inhibitory activity on xanthine oxidase were also found in the fermented broth with the value of 60.3% and 41.8%, respectively. When the antimicrobial activities of the fermented broth were examined, it showed the highest growth inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli O-157:H7, and also contained antimicrobial activities against Salmonella typhimurium, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the probiotic properties of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from a Korean traditional food kimchi. Gram staining was performed by Macrogen (Macrogen, Inc.) for identification of the LAB. Five strains of LAB were identified, including DKGF9 (Lactobacillus plantarum), DKGF1 (L. paracasei ), DKGF8 (L. casei ), DK207 (L. casei ), and DK211 (L. casei ). The biological activities of the isolated strains were assessed. The results showed that heat resistance of the strains was similar to or higher than the commercial strain L. acidophilus LA-5. Indirect testing of the ability of the strains to attach to the mucin layer revealed that DKGF9, DKGF1, and DKGF8 have high binding affinities for the mucous layer. All strains showed antimicrobial activity similar to or higher than the commercial strain LA-5. In proteolysis experiments, the diameters of proteolysis zones of the five strains increased in the period of 24-72 h, with DKGF1 exhibiting the largest zone diameter. Three strains were selected based on their antioxidant activities. Among the five isolated strains, L. paracasei DKGF1 showed potential probiotic activity, and thus, it may be useful for the development of health-promoting products.

This study aimed to produce fermented extracts with sugar made from lotus root (LR) and Platycodon grandiflorum (PG), using lactic acid fermentation, and confirmed their physiological and anti-oxidative activities as basic data for manufacturing functional drinks through sensory tests. For the final sugar concentrations, PG showed $48.1^{\circ}brix$ and LR showed $52.0^{\circ}brix$. Sugar concentrations during lactic acid fermentation following dilution of sugar to $12^{\circ}brix$, ranged from $11.5{\sim}12.1^{\circ}brix$ for PG and $11.9{\sim}12.4^{\circ}C$ for LR. During lactic acid fermentation, lactic acid bacteria numbers tended to decrease in both fermented LR and PG extracts with sugar as the fermentation period increased. For DPPH radical scavenging ability, LR was three times higher in control without lactic acid fermentation while PG showed significant increases in L. acidophilus (77%), L. brevis (90%), and L. delbrueckii (177%) during lactic acid fermentation. For total polyphenol content, LR showed a higher concentration than PG, and except for fermented L. delbrueckii extract showing similarity with the control, contents of fermented extracts decreased. In the case of PG, CUPRAC, increased significantly in L. brevis, whereas FRAP, increased significantly in L. delbrueckii with lactic acid fermentation. For reducing power, except for fermentation with L. brevis, all PG showed lower reducing power activities. In the sensory test of fermented LR and PG extracts with sugar, both fermented extracts showed better results with L. brevis or L. delbrueckii than control or those with L. acidophilus in every item. Based on these results, it is highly possible to develop fermented extract drinks with sugar using LR or PG. In particular, lactic acid bacteria such as L. delbrueckii and L. brevis showed generally higher activities with potential as a functional drink.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of mulberry fruit extinct on the acid production and growth of lactic acid bacteria. The extract of mulberry fruit was showed a high level of yield with 60% ethanol extraction. Lactic acid bacteria was used in a starter culture of Lactobacillus casei YIT9018 and 2782, and Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM. After 24 hr culture in MRS broth added with 1.0, 5.0 and 10% of the extract 1.0% addition of the extract was showed pH $4.04{\sim}4.19$, titratable acidity $1.25{\sim}1.42%,\;and\;1.2{\sim}7.8{\times}10^9\;cfu/mL$ of viable cell count. The additions above 1.0% extract (5.0% and 10.0% addition) showed slightly lower effect than 1.0% addition. However, the addition of the extract showed a high effect on the growth of lactic acid bacteria comparing with the control. In yoghurt preparation with the extract, 1% addition of the extract showed a high effect on the growth of lactic acid bacteria, Therefore, it was suggested to manufacture of the yoghurt with the addition of 1% mulberry fruit extract and the inoculation of culture of Lactobacillus acidophilus for on the stimulation of growth of the lactic culture.
