The deer antler has been used as a major drug in oriental medicine for a long time. Recently, the demand for easy-to-take health functional foods is increasing due to economic development and changes in diet. As part of research on the development of functional materials for antlers, lactic acid fermentation of antler extract was performed. It was intended to develop a functional material with enhanced total polyphenol and flavonoid content and enhanced antioxidant activity. Lactic acid bacteria fermentation was performed by adding 4 types of lactic acid bacteria starter products, B. longum, Lb. Plantarum, Lb. acidophilus and mixture of 8 types of lactic acid bacteria to the antler water extract substrate, respectively. During the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria, the number of proliferation, total polyphenol and total flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging and antioxidant activity were quantified and evaluated. As a result of adding these four types of lactic acid bacteria to the antler water extract substrate, the number of lactic acid bacteria measured was 2.04~5.00×107. Meanwhile, a protease (Baciullus amyloliquefaciens culture: Maxazyme NNP DS) was added to the antler extract to decompose the peptide bonds of the contained proteins. Then, these four types of lactic acid bacteria were added and the number of lactic acid bacteria increased to 2.84×107 ~ 2.21×108 as the result of culture. The total polyphenol contents were 4.82~6.26 ㎍/mL in the lactic acid bacteria fermentation extracts, and after the reaction of protease enzyme and lactic fermentation, increased to 14.27~20.58 ㎍/mL. The total flavonoid contents were 1.52~2.21 ㎍/ml in the lactic acid bacteria fermentation extracts, and after the protease reaction and fermentation, increased to 5.59 ~ 8.11 mg/mL. DPPH radical scavenging activities of lactic acid bacteria fermentation extracts was 17.03~22.75%, but after the protease reaction and fermentation, remarkably increased to 32.82~42.90%.

The study was conducted to investigate the condition for mixed fermentation of Rhodilola sachalinensis with red ginseng using Lactobacillus acidophillus 128 and the changes of physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities before and after the lactic acid fermentation was examined. In the single fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis extract, the pH and titratable acidity rarely changed, and the number of lactic acid bacteria decreased greatly. On the other hand, in the lactic acid fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract of 50% red ginseng content, the pH decreased, whereas the titratable acidity and the number of lactic acid bacteria increased. The solid content of optimal mixed extract for lactic acid fermentation was 0.5%. Sugar content decreased during fermentation, but total phenolic compounds tended to increase during fermentation. The salidroside and p-tyrosol content of the initial Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract was 419.5 mg% and 60.1 mg%, respectively; after fermentation, the salidroside content after lactic acid fermentation decreased greatly to 81.8 mg%, and the amount of p-tyrosol increased greatly to 324.9 mg%. The DPPH scavenging activity of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed fermentate was 78.1% at 0.1% concentration, showing a tendency to increase as compared to 50.3% of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract before the fermentation (p<0.05); it was a higher antioxidant activity as compared to the single fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis or red ginseng.

Lactic acid is a green chemical that can be used as a raw material for biodegradable polymer. To produce lactic acid through microbial fermentation, we previously screened a novel lactic acid bacterium. In this work, we optimized lactic acid fermentation using a newly isolated and homofermentative lactic acid bacterium. The optimum medium components were found to be glucose, yeast extract, $(NH_4)_{2}HPO_4,\;and\;MnSO_4$. The optimum pH and temperature for a batch culture of Lactobacillus sp. RKY2 was found to be 6.0 and $36^{\circ}C$, respectively. Under the optimized culture conditions, the maximum lactic acid concentration (153.9 g/L) was obtained from 200 g/L of glucose and 15 g/L of yeast extract, and maximum lactic acid productivity ($6.21\;gL^{-1}h^{-1}$) was obtained from 100 g/L of glucose and 20 g/L of yeast extract. In all cases, the lactic acid yields were found to be above 0.91 g/g. This article provides the optimized conditions for a batch culture of Lactobacillus sp. RKY2, which resulted in highest productivity of lactic acid.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the improved antioxidant activity of Aronia extract fermented by lactic acid bacteria isolated from fermented seafoods. Aronia fruits were collected from Sunchang, Chonbuk, South Korea. And these collected fruits were lyophilized for fermentation. For the selection of effective lactic acid bacteria useful for fermentation. Aronia fermented by lactic acid bacteria that isolated from fermented seafood was extracted with 60% ethanol. Antioxidant activity of Aronia extract was evaluated on the DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol contents were studied. To determine the optimal fermentation conditions, the changes of antioxidant efficacy was evaluated by controlling temperature (25, 30, 37, $40^{\circ}C$), Time (0~5 day) and inoculation dose of lactic acid bacteria (0.125~0.5ml). To confirm the antioxidative effect of Aronia fermented under optimal conditions, the DPPH & ABTS radical scavenging activity, total polyphenol & flavonoid contents were compared before and after fermentation were studied. 16 different kinds of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from fermented seafood, and of which antioxidant activity of Aronia fermented by Pediococcus pentosaceus B1 was maximum. Aronia fermentation at $37^{\circ}C$ was maximized when fermented for 3 days and fermentation time is decreased as the start inoculation amount of lactic acid bacteria increased. The degree of increase in antioxidant activity after Aronia fermentation is that DPPH & ABTS radical scavenging activity was increased about 27%, 20% and total polyphenols & flavonoids contents was increased about 12%, 15%. In the result of this experiment indicated that fermentation process enhances the antioxidant efficacy of Aronia.

Both lactic acid productivity and cell growth were linearly correlated with yeast extract supplementation in batch fermentation. During conventional continuous operation, although fresh feed was introduced into the bioreactor with a significantly low dilution rate (0.04 $h^{-1}$), the amount of yeast extract employed was not enough to maintain the growth of microorganism. However, when the fresh feed contained 100 g/l glucose and 2 g/l yeast extract during cell-recycle continuous operation at a dilution rate of 0.04 $h^{-1}$, more than 90 g/l lactic acid was continuously produced, with the average productivity of 3.72 $g/l{\cdot}h$. In this experiment, 82 g of yeast extract (77% of reduction yield) could be reduced for the production of 1 kg of lactic acid compared with batch fermentation of a similar volumetric productivity.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of lactic acid bacterial fermentation on the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of an edible brown alga, Eisenia bicyclis. Lactic acid bacteria were inoculated into and cultivated in E. bicyclis water extract. The antioxidant activity of the extract was assayed before and following fermentation. Antioxidant activity was determined by assaying the levels of radical scavenging activity against 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl radical and alkyl radical. The lactic acid bacterial fermentation of E. bicyclis extract resulted in enhanced antioxidant activity. The greatest enhancement of antioxidant activity was seen in the DPPH radical scavenging assay, in which E. bicyclis extract was fermented by Pediococcus pentosaceus MBP-34 strain for 12 h. This fermented extract also exhibited higher inhibitory activity (96.66%) on nitric oxide production compared with other lactic acid bacterial fermented extracts or raw extract (189.60%). In conclusion, fermentation by bacterial strain is an attractive strategy for developing value-added food ingredients.

In this study, we attempted to optimize the fermentation processes in the production of lactic acid juice with 20% Maesil(Prunus mume) extract using Lactobacillus plantarum isolated from Kimchi, assessing a variety of pH, temperature, sugar compositions, and sugar concentrations. In the preparation of fermented Maesil(Prunus mume) extract, the optimal pH and fermentation temperature were 4.0 and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. When the effects of various sugar sources and concentrations on lactic acid fermentation were assessed, 15% fructose was shown to yield more acid productivity than was observed with other sugar sources. The optimum composition, on the basis of our sensory evaluations, was determined to be a fructose concentration of 15% and a fermentation time of $72{\sim}96$ hours.

This study was conducted to improve the food functional and sensory food quality of Hizikia fusiforme by the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria. Seven strains of lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional Korean fermented food were inoculated and cultivated in H. fusiforme water extract. Among them, Lactobacillus brevis LB-20, isolated from Kimchi, was selected for further study by considering the results of bacterial growth, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and sensory evaluation. No significant differences in proximate compositions (moisture, crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash) were observed by the fermentation of L. brevis LB-20. The most dramatical change was the conversion from glutamate to ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in H. fusiforme water extract fermented by L. brevis LB-20. The GABA content increased approximately 60-fold after 48 hr of fermentation. The bacterial fermentation also resulted in low-molecularization of the extract. The particle size of the fermented extract became approximately 4-fold smaller than that of the law extract. In addition, the analysis of volatile flavor compounds using GC/MS revealed that the bacterial fermentation dramatically removed off-flavors such as acetaldehyde, haxanal, diallyl disulphide and 1-penten-2-ol in the H. fusiforme extract.

Lactic acid production from ${\alpha}$-cellulose by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) was studied. The cellulose was converted in a batch SSF using cellulase enzyme Cytolase CL to produce glucose sugar and Lactobacillus delbrueckii to ferment the glucose to lactic acid. The effects of temperature, PH, yeast extract loading, and lactic acid inhibition were studied to determine the optimum conditions for the batch processing. Cellulose was converted efficiently to lactic acid, and enzymatic hydrolysis was the rate controlling step in the SSF. The highest conversion rate was obtained at 46$^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.0. The observed yield of lactic acid from ${\alpha}$-cellulose was 0.90 at 72 hours. The optimum pH of the SSF was coincident with that of enzymatic hydrolysis. The optimum temperature of the SSF was chosen as the highest temperature the microoraganism could withstand. The optimum yeast extract loading was found to be 2.5g/L. Lactic acid was observed to be inhibitory to the microorganisms' activity.
