The aim of this study was to determine the effects of temperature and supplementation with skim milk powder (SMP) on the microbial and proteolytic properties during the storage of cottage cheese. Cottage cheese was manufactured using skim milk with 2% SMP and without SMP as the control, and then stored at $5^{\circ}C$ or $12^{\circ}C$ during 28 days. The chemical composition of the cottage cheese and the survival of the cheese microbiota containing starter lactic acid bacteria (SLAB) and non-starter culture lactic acid bacteria (NSLAB) were evaluated. In addition, changes in the concentration of lactose and lactic acid were analyzed, and proteolysis was evaluated through the measurement of acid soluble nitrogen (ASN) and non-protein nitrogen (NPN), as well as electrophoresis profile analysis. The counts of SLAB and NSLAB increased through the addition of SMP and with a higher storage temperature ($12^{\circ}C$), which coincided with the results of the lactose decrease and lactic acid production. Collaborating with these microbial changes, of the end of storage for 28 days, the level of ASN in samples at $12^{\circ}C$ was higher than those at $5^{\circ}C$. The NPN content was also progressively increased in all samples stored at $12^{\circ}C$. Taken together, the rate of SLAB and NSLAB proliferation during storage at $12^{\circ}C$ was higher than at $5^{\circ}C$, and consequently it led to increased proteolysis in the cottage cheese during storage. However, it was relatively less affected by SMP fortification. These findings indicated that the storage temperature is the important factor for the quality of commercial cottage cheese.

The objective of the present study is to analyze the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) effects on rye silage fermentation at different stages. Different stages (Booting, Heading, Flowering, and Late flowering stage) of rye were collected from the National livestock farm, National Institute of Animal Science, South Korea. Rye sample was inculcated with lactic acid bacteria and incubated at the anaerobic condition for three months. The nutrient profile such as crude protein (CP), Acid detergent fibre, Neutral detergent fibre and total digestibility nutrients were increased in both control and LAB inculcated samples at all the stages of rye forage. The pH of rye silage was reduced at both stages by LAB inoculation as compared with control. The lactate content was increased in all stages of rye sample by LAB. The acetate concentration and butyrate was reduced in LAB inoculated rye sample. However, acetate concentration was slightly high in LAB inculcated rye at heading and late flowering stage. The LAB population was greater in LAB inoculated rye sample as compared with control sample. However, the massive population was noted in booting stage of rye than the other stages. It indicates the inoculated LAB is the main reason for increasing fermentation quality in the sample through pH reduction by lactate production. Overall results suggest that the isolated lactic acid bacterium is the potent strain that could be suitable for rye forage fermentation at different stages.

Objective: This study investigated a method of preparing corn stover for Irpex lacteus (I. lacteus) treatment to improve its in vitro rumen degradability under non-sterile conditions. Methods: Corn stover was inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum), Lactobacillus buchneri (L. buchneri), and an equal mixture of these strains, and ensiled for 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days. After each period, a portion of the silage was sampled to assess the silage quality, and another portion of the silage was further treated with I. lacteus at 28℃ for 28 d. All the samples were analyzed for fermentation quality, chemical composition, and in vitro gas production (IVGP) as a measure of rumen fermentation capacity. Results: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) was found to improve the silage quality of the corn stover, and the corn stover silage inoculated with L. plantarum produced more lactic acid and higher IVGP than other silage groups. The I. lacteus colonies flourished in the early stage of corn stover silage, especially on the 3-d corn stover silage inoculated with both L. plantarum and L. buchneri. This led to an 18% decrease in the acid detergent lignin content, and a 49.6% increase in IVGP compared with the raw stover. Conclusion: The combination of ensiling with the mixed LAB inoculation and I. lacteus treatment provided a cost-effective method for the improvement of the IVGP of corn stover from 164.8 mL/g organic matter (OM) to 246.6 mL/g OM.

The present study represents the investigation of in vitro immunopotentiating activities of cellular fractions of major lactic acid bacteria found in kimchi (KLAB) and bifidobacteria. The macrophage cells, RAW264.7, were stimulated with heat-killed whole-cell, cell-wall, and cytoplasmic fractions of four strains of KLAB (Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Leuconostoc citreum, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus sake) and two strains of bifidobacteria (Bifidobacterium longum and Bifidobacterium lactis) each, and then the production of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines including tumor necrosis $factor-\alpha\;(TNF-\alpha)$ and interleukin-6 (IL-6) was measured by Griess and ELISA assays, respectively. Heat-killed wholecell and cell-wall fractions-but not the cytoplasmic fraction-from all strains of KLAB significantly increased the production of NO in RAW264.7 cells, and all fractions from bifidobacteria exerted similar effects. In the production of $TNF-\alpha$, heat-killed whole-cell and cell-wall fractions of L. plantarum showed the strongest effect, followed by L. sake and B. lactis, whereas other KLAB fractions did not exert any effect. In the production of IL-6, only whole-cell and cell-wall fractions of L. plantarum were effective. These results, taken together, indicate that L. plantarum might playa critical role in the immunopotentiating activities of kimchi.

민속주 안동소주 발효에 있어서, 젖산균의 영향 분석과 효율적 제어를 위해, 안동소주 자가 제조 누룩 및 알코올 발효액으로부터 젖산균을 분리하였다. 분리된 젖산균들 중 ADS-L1 균주가 가장 젖산 생성이 우수하였으며, 균체 집락의 특성으로 안동소주 자가제조 누룩 및 안동소주 발효액에서 우점종으로 판단되었으며, 생리, 생화학적 특성과 16S rDNA 염기배열 분석결과 Pediococcus acidilactici로 동정되었다. ADS-L1 균주는 $40{\sim}50^{\circ}C$의 온도와 pH $5{\sim}7$의 범위에서 우수한 생육을 보여, 최고온도가 $50^{\circ}C$까지 상승하는 누룩 띄움 과정 및 pH 6의 안동소주 발효초기의 주요 젖산균으로 판단되었다. 한편 12%(w/v)의 알코올 농도 및 0.01N HCl 처리시 낮은 생존율을 나타내어 안동소주 발효진행에 따라 발효 후기에는 급격한 생육저해가 나타날 것으로 판단되었다. MRS 배지에서의 발효특성 실험 결과, ADS-L1 균주는 충분한 탄소원이 존재시 24시간 이내에 발효액의 pH를 산성화하며, 지속적인 젖산 생성을 통해 발효액의 집균염 방지 등의 긍정적 효과를 나타내며, 발효후기 $10^5\;CFU/ml$ 이하로 감소되어 안동소주 발효동안 별도의 문제를 유발하지 않을 것으로 판단되었다.

Objective: To develop the fermentation quality and chemical composition of alfalfa (Medicago sativa Lam.) silage, plants were inoculated with different lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains at field 24 hours before harvest. Methods: The treatment groups were as follow: silage without additive as a control and inoculated with each strains of Lactobacillus brevis (LS-55-2-2), Leuconostoc citerum (L. citerum; L-70-6-1), Lactobacillus bifermentans (L. bifermentans; LS-65-2-1), Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum; LS-3-3) and L. plantarum (LS-72-2). All the silages were stored at 25℃. Parameters such as pH, microorganism and volatile fatty acid contents, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, net gas, metabolizable energy, organic matter digestibility, dry matter intake and relative feed value were measured to determine fermentation quality, chemical compositions and relative feed value of alfalfa silages. Results: Significant differences were found among the control and treated groups in terms of pH and microorganism contents at all opening times and crude protein, net gas, metabolizable energy and organic matter digestibility of final silage. The pH values ranged from 4.70 to 5.52 for all treatments and control silage had the highest value of overall treatments at T₇₅d silages. Volatile fatty acid of silages was not influenced significantly by inoculations. However, lactic acid content of L. bifermentans (LS-65-2-1) was higher than the other treatments. The highest metabolizable energy and organic matter digestibility were recorded from L. citerum (L-70-6-1) inoculation. In addition, no significant differences were found among treatments in terms of neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, dry matter intake and relative feed value. Conclusion: Among the treated LAB isolates, L. bifermentans came into prominence especially in terms of organic acid composition and quality characters of silages.

Objective: Information regarding the vitamin content of silage is limited. This study investigated the changes in the vitamin content of alfalfa and Chinese leymus silages with or without a lactic acid bacterial inoculant. Methods: Alfalfa at the early flowering stage and Chinese leymus at the full-bloom stage were harvested. The treatments for each forage type were control (deionized water only) and $1{\times}10^6$ colony-forming units Lactobacillus plantarum (LP)/g fresh matter. After 45 days of ensiling, all silages were sampled for evaluating the vitamin content, fermentation quality and chemical composition. Results: The LP inoculant decreased the pH value and ammonia nitrogen content of the alfalfa and Chinese leymus silages and significantly (p<0.05) increased the lactic acid, acetic acid concentrations and Flieg's points. Prior to ensiling, the levels of five B-group vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and pyridoxine) and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol in alfalfa were significantly (p<0.01) higher than those in Chinese leymus. Ensiling decreased the levels of the five B-group vitamins in both alfalfa and Chinese leymus while increasing the ${\alpha}$-tocopherol content of Chinese leymus. The thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and pantothenic acid levels in the LP-treated silage were significantly (p<0.05) lower than those in the untreated silage for the alfalfa and Chinese leymus. The ${\alpha}$-tocopherol content in the LP-treated alfalfa silage was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that in the untreated alfalfa silage. There was no significant (p>0.05) difference in pyridoxine content between the untreated and LP-treated silages for both forages. Conclusion: With or without LP inoculation, the levels of the five B-group vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and pyridoxine) in alfalfa and Chinese leymus decreased after 45 days of ensiling, while the ${\alpha}$-tocopherol content of Chinese leymus increased. The LP inoculant improved the fermentation quality of both the alfalfa and Chinese leymus silages but increased the thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid loss in the two forages after fermentation.

본 연구는 분리대두단백을 세 종류의 단백분해효소로 처리하여 가수분해시킨 후 B. bifidum으로 단독배양하거나 B. bifidum과 L. acidophilus 또는 B. bifidum과 L. bulgaricus로 혼합배양하여 soy yogurt를 제조한 다음 비피더스균의 생육 특성 및 시료의 품질특성을 측정하였다. Soy yogurt에서 혼합배양의 경우 단독배양보다 pH는 더 낮았으나 산도는 더 높았으며 생균수는 더 많았다. 유기산의 함량은 혼합배양의 경우 lactic acid의 함량이 매우 많았으나 단독배양시에는 acetic acid와 succinic acid의 함량이 많았다. 또한 유리아미노산의 함량은 효소처리군의 경우 단독배양시에 혼합배양보다 많았으며 A. oryzae로부터 추출한 단백분해효소처리군에서 그 함량이 월등히 많았으나 ${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$ 처리군에서는 그 함량이 가장 적었다. 이는 효소처리군 중에서 ${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$ 처리군의 가수분해도는 가장 높았으나 그 가수분해물의 비피더스균 생육촉진 효과가 가장 적어서 유기산 및 유리아미노산의 함량이 가장 낮았고 pH가 가장 높았으며 산도는 가장 낮았고 생균수는 가장 적었다. 효소처리한 soy yogurt의 점도와 보수력은 비효소처리군보다 더 낮았으며, 특히${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$ 처리군의 점도와 보수력은 다른 효소처리군에 비해 더 높았다. 휘발성 향기성분 중 acetaldehyde, ethanol, diacetyl 및 butyl alcohol의 함량은 발효에 의해 증가되었다. 품질이 향상된 frozen soy yogurt를 개발하기 위한 중간단계로써 단백분해효소와 배양방법을 달리하여 soy yogurt를 제조하였으며, 본 연구결과를 전반적으로 종합하여 볼 때 분리대두단백을 단백분해효소로 처리하고 비피더스균에 젖산균들을 혼합배양하므로써 lactic acid 생성 및 비피더스균의 생육을 촉진시켰다.
