In order to produce lactic acid and calcium lactate very useful for foods and medical supplies, lactic acid fermentation was studied by Lactobacillus sporogenes, a spore forming lactic acid bacterium. When this bacterium was cultured aerobically in the spore forming medium, the spore forming rate was 96.0% as total cell number 20$\times$108/ml, spore number 19.2$\times$108/ml. One minute agitating every 1 hour in the flask culture, or agitation of 100rpm in the fermenter was most efficient to continue to ferment at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 4days in the fermentation medium containing 10% glucose as carbohydrate and CaCO3 as a neutralizing agent. This homofermentative lactic acid bacterium showed fermentation yield of 99.3% and more than 98.2% of the yield was L(+)-lactic acid.

Benzoic acid is occasionally used as a raw material supplement in food products and is sometimes generated during the fermentation process. In this study, the production of naturally occurring yogurt preservatives was investigated for various starter cultures and incubation temperatures, and considered food regulations. Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus plantarum, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Bifidobacterium breve were used as yogurt starter cultures in commercial starters. Among these strains, L. rhamnosus and L. paracasei showed the highest production of benzoic acid. Therefore, the use of L. rhamnosus, L. paracasei, S. thermophilus, and different incubation temperatures were examined to optimize benzoic acid production. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on a central composite design was performed for various incubation temperatures (35-44℃) and starter culture inoculum ratios (0-0.04%) in a commercial range of dairy fermentation processes. The optimum conditions were 0.04% L. rhamnosus, 0.01% L. paracasei, 0.02% S. thermophilus, and 38.12℃, and the predicted and estimated concentrations of benzoic acid were 13.31 and 13.94 mg/kg, respectively. These conditions maximized naturally occurring benzoic acid production during the yogurt fermentation process, and the observed production levels satisfied regulatory guidelines for benzoic acid in dairy products.

An optional ingredient, jasoja(Perillae semen), was adopted to improve the quality of Dongchimi. The final weight percentage of jasoja in Dongchimi was adjusted to 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, or 1.0%, per radish, and sensory and microbiological characteristics were determined during fermentation at 10 for 45 days. The effect was varied depending on the amounts of jasoja, but Dongchimi fermented with 0.5% jasoja was most favored for color, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability in sensory evaluation. According to a quantitative descriptive analysis for the product, the liquid portion of Dongchimi steadily became clearer and less sour in proportion to the amount of added jasoja. However, a strong off-taste was detected from 1.0% treatment. The viable cell numbers of total and lactic acid bacteria drastically increased during the first 2 days, and then gradually increased to their maximum values during fermentation and slowly decreased at the later stage. Dongchimi with 0.5% treatment showed a distinctive high number of microorganisms at the 15th-day of fermentation and this trend was maintained until the completion of fermentation. The lactic acid bacteria isolated and identified from Dongchimi were; Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactococcus faecalis, and Lactococcus lactis. The combined number of Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus plantarum began to increase right after preparation to as much as 10$\^$7/CFU/㎖, then decreased to 10-10$^3$CFU/㎖ afterward. This study showed that the addition of jasoja retarded the initial fermentation of Dongchimi; however, too much jasoja at above 1% weight level per Chinese radish might accelerate fermentation at the later fermentation stage and shoud be avoided. A comparable fermentation pattern was observed among the samples; however, more acceptable Dongchimi could be prepared by fermenting for 11 to 30 days at 0.5% jasoja concentration per radish.

Lactic acid fermentation of black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) juice was carried out by using the Lactobacillus plantarum GBL17 strain. The sterilized black raspberry juice was fermented using the L. plantarum GBL17 strain at $30^{\circ}C$ for 72 hours after which the total acidity increased and the pH value decreased. In addition, the highest total acidity content (2.38%) was reached, the lowest pH value (3.22) was observed, and the sugar content decreased by $9.8^{\circ}Brix$ after the 72 hour fermentation. The number of viable cells rapidly increased up until 24 hours, after which it gradually decreased. HPLC analysis of the organic acids showed 14.51 mg/g of lactic acid content in the fermented black raspberry juice, which was not detected in the non-fermented black raspberry juice (control). The content of fructose and glucose slightly decreased after fermentation. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the fermented black raspberry juice increased significantly after fermentation. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of fermented black raspberry juice (70.92%) was higher than that of the control (62.96%). After lactic acid fermentation, there was no significant increase in ABTS radical scavenging activity. These results confirm that lactic acid bacteria, such as L. plantarum GBL17, showed generally higher activities with a potential as a functional beverage.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of glycine supplementation on the growth of Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus plantarum during kimchi fermentation. As preliminary experiment, the effect of supplementation of glycine (0-2.0%, w/v) to MRS medium on the growth of Leuc. mesenteroides and L. plantarum was evaluated. At 2.0% glycine in the MRS medium, cell growth rate was inhibited by 79% for L. plantarum and 27% for Leuc. mesenteroides. Subsequently, different concentrations of glycine (0, 0.5, and 2.0%, w/v) were applied for kimchi fermentation for 21 days, at $5^{\circ}C$. At day 14, the pH and titratable acidity (TA) of kimchi supplemented with 2.0% glycine were 4.83 and 0.38%, respectively, whilst the control kimchi had a pH of 4.49 and TA of 0.44%, respectively. The ratio of Leuconostoc/ Lactobacillus in kimchi increased as the concentration of glycine increased. The results show that the presence of glycine affected the growth of the 2 lactic acid bacteria, particularly of L. plantarum.

Helicobacter pylori infection causes gastrointestinal diseases such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and may lead to gastric cancer. Several studies have reported that lactobacilli present on broccoli show inhibitory activity against H. pylori. Here, we evaluated aqueous broccoli, fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum MG208, for its fermentation characteristics and anti-H. pylori activities including antibacterial activity, growth inhibition, anti-adhesion, and urease inhibition. The results indicated that the fermentation characteristics changed significantly depending on the amount of aqueous broccoli used for fermentation (p <0.05). There was no significant difference between the samples before fermentation (p >0.05). However, a significant concentration-dependent difference was noted in antibacterial activity and urease inhibition (p <0.05) following the addition of aqueous broccoli. Growth inhibition in the 10 mg/mL sample was significantly higher as compared to the negative control and similar to that with amoxicillin (positive control) (p <0.05). Anti-adhesion activity of aqueous broccoli was also significantly different (p <0.05) from the negative control. Therefore, aqueous broccoli fermented by L. plantarum MG208 could prove useful as a functional diet for protection of the gastric environment against H. pylori infection.

The aim of this work was to select suitable fermentation treatments for the efficient bioconversion of cactus (Opuntia humifusa Raf.) bioactive components with an improved radical scavenging activity for use as a nutraceutical. To obtain microorganisms for the microbial conversion of cactus, Leuconostoc mesenteroides ATCC8294, Lactobacillus plantarum KCTC 3099, Lactobacillus plantarum KERI 236 and Monascus pilosus KCCM 60029 (ATCC 22080) were used for fermentation. Fermentation by Lac. plantarum KCTC 3099 was the most effective at scavenging 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) and 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals and reducing iron (III). In particular, uronic acid levels showed a remarkable increase in fermentation. The polyphenol and quercetin content of the fermented cactus showed large increases from $108.65{\mu}g/mL$ and $2.71{\mu}g/mL$ to $227.83{\mu}g/mL$ and $9.73{\mu}g/mL$, respectively, showing a maximum level at 36 h of fermentation with Lac. plantarum KCTC 3099. Thus, cactus fermentation with Lac. plantarum is an useful process for the enhancement of antioxidant contents and activity of fresh cactus.
