Silage inoculants, crucial in modern silage production, comprise beneficial microorganisms, primarily lactic acid bacteria (LAB), strategically applied to forage material during ensiling. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of various inoculants produced by different companies. Five treatments were evaluated, including a control group: T1 (Lactobacillus plantarum), T2 (Lactobacillus plantarum + Pediococcus pentosaceus), T3 (Lactobacillus plantarum + Pediococcus pentosaceus + Lactobacillus buchneri), T4 (Lactobacillus plantarum + Lactobacillus acidophilus + Lactobacillus bulgaricus), and T5 (Lactobacillus plantarum + Pediococcus pentosaceus + Enterococcus faecium). Italian ryegrass was harvested at the heading stage and treated with these silage inoculants. Samples were collected over a 60-day ensiling period. Co-inoculation with L. plantarum and P. pentosaceus (T2) resulted in significantly higher CP compared to the control group co-inoculation exhibited with resulted in Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus in the T2 treatment exhibited higher CP content of 106.35 g/kg dry matter (DM). The T3 treatment, which included heterofermentative bacterial strains such as Lactobacillus buchneri, exhibited an increase in acetic acid concentration (11.15 g/kg DM). In the T4 treatment group, which utilized a mixed culture of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, the NH₃-N/TN content was observed to be the lowest (20.52 g/kg DM). The T5 containing Enterococcus faecium had the highest RFV (123) after 60 days. Expanding upon these findings, the study underscores not only the beneficial effects of particular inoculant treatments on silage quality but also underscores the potential of customized inoculation strategies in maximizing nutrient retention and overall silage preservation.

This experiment was carried out to examine the fermentation properties of yogurt prepared with bovine milk and soybean milk at the mixed ratios of 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3. The effect of bovine milk and soybean milk on promoting the fermentation was higher un pH was $3.75\~4.16$ when Lactobacillus salivarius ssp. salivarius CNU27, lactic culture 1(Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus(LB12)), Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus (ST36) and Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC3150 were used. Titratable acidity was the highest when lactic culture 1[Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus(LB12), Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus(ST36)] was mea and the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soybean milk was 2:1. The average viable counts of lactic acid bacteria was the highest level of $2.17\times10^9$ cfu/ml when Lactobacillus salivarius ssp. salivarius CNU27 was used, and the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soybean milk was 1:3. the highest lactic acid production was 412.52mM when lactic culture 1[Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus (LB12), Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus (ST36)] was used, and the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soybean milk was 1:1. The production of acetic acid was the highest and the concentration was 394.01mM when lactic culture 2(Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus) was used and the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soy bean milk was 3:1. Tn the carbohydrate hydrolysis, stachyose was hydrolyzed $53.92\%$ as compared with the control when Lactobacillus salivarius subsp salivarius CNU27 was used, and the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soy bean milk was 1:3. The highest viscosity of yogurt was $1,300\~1,660$ cP when the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soybean milk was 1:3. The overall acceptability, $4.17\pm0.69$, was the highest when Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC3150 was used and when the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soybean milk was 2:1.

The principal objective of this study was to investigate the influence of buckwheat sprouts on the acid production and growth of lactic acid bacteria in to which 5 and 10%(w/v) buckwheat sprouts was added, followed by fermentation with Lactobacillus bulgaricus. In yogurt to which 5 and 10% buckwheat sprouts was added, pH was lower and titratable acidity was higher than those of the control. It was also noted significant changes in the number of viable cell counts with differing amounts of added buckwheat sprouts until 12 hours. When the yogurt samples were stored for 12 days at $4^{\circ}C$, the pH and titratable acidity of the yogurt to which 5 and 10% buckwheat sprouts was added were maintained at lower and higher than control levels, respectively. The highest number of viable cell counts was found in the yogurt to which 5% buckwheat sprouts was added. Rutin content was reduced via lactic acid fermentation, but quercetin content increased significantly in the yogurt with added buckwheat sprouts. It may be that the glycosidic bonds connected to rutin were hydrolyzed during fermentation by lactic acid bacteria. The total phenol compound content of the yogurt samples also increased after fermentation. The antioxidative activity of yogurt to which 10% buckwheat sprouts was added was shown to have a 60.95% free radical scavenging effect, which was the highest among all yogurt samples evaluated.

Endoglucanase A from Clostridium thermocellum which is resistant to pancreatic proteinase was selected out of numbers cellulases then were expressed in lactobacilli. Recombinant lactobacilli expression vector, pSD1, harboring the endoglucanase gene from C. thermocellum under the control of its own promoter, was constructed. Both L. bulgaricus and L. plantarum were electrotransformed with pSD1. The endoglucanase activities of 0.120 and 0.144 U/ml were found in culture media of L. bulgaricus and L. plantarum containing pSD1, respectively. In vitro survival characteristics of the transformed lactobacilli were tested. Both L. bulgaricus and L. plantarum showed a similar resistance to low pH 3. Moreover, L. plantarum was bile-salt resistant in the presence of 0.3 and 1% oxgall. L. bulgaricus and L. plantarum showed a rather homogenous resistant pattern against the tested antibiotics. Both of the strains were resistant to amikacin, gentamicin, streptomycin, kanamycin, and colistin.

Soy milk prepared from soy protein concentrate was fermented with Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. casci, Streptococcus lactis or S. cremoris. Growth and acid production of each organism in soy milk and flavor of soy yogurt beverages were investigated. Volatile compounds in soy milk and soy yogurts were also determined. Among the five organisms tested, L. bulgaricus produced most amount of acid in soy milk while S. cremoris produced least amount of acid in soy mile. Sensory evaluation showed that the flavor of soy yogurt beverages was inferior to that of milk yogurt beverage and the flavor of soy yogurt beverage prepared by L. bulgaricus was better than that of other soy yogurt beverages. Soy milk fermented with L. bulgaricus was more acceptable than unfermented soy milk. Lactic fermentation reduced n-hexanal in soy milk while it produced diacetyl that was not detected in unfermented soy milk.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of enzyme treatments on the functional properties of soy protein isolate (SPI) and to examine the quality attributes of soy yogurt prepared by different enzyme treatments, sweeteners and starter cultures. Enzyme treatment increased the solubility and emulsifying capacity of soy proteins, but decreased the emulsifying stability; the enzymatic activity of ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin was higher than that of trypsin. Enzyme treatments decreased the pH of soy yogurts prepared by both culture methods, the culture of L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus and the culture of L. bulgaricus and K. fragilis, but increased the titratable acidity, total numbers of lactic acid bacteria and yeast. Trypsin was more effective than ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin in decreasing pH and increasing titratable acidity and total numbers of lactic acid bacteria and yeast. Fructose decreased the pH of soy yogurts more than sucrose in the culture of L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus, and vice versa in the culture of L. bulgaricus and K. fragilis. Fructooligosaccharides were more effective in the culture of L. bulgaricus and K. fragilis than in the culture of L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus in increasing the titratable acidity, total count of lactic acid bacteria and yeast. In sensory evaluation, soy yogurts containing trypsin treated SPI, fructose and fructooligosaccharides (75%:25%) were more acceptable than those containing untreated or trypsin treated SPI and fructose. This was because of more smooth and less sour, in which the values of pH, titratable acidity, microbial growth, and viscosity were in the range of commercial yogurts. Soy yogurts fermented by L. bulgaricus and K. fragilis showed more smooth mouthfeel than those fermented by L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus.

Influence of L. bu1garicus on the brewing of Takjoo by the use of commercial anylase and yeast was investigated. 1. The acidities of the mash in which L. bulgaricus was cultured at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours and 16 hours before the addition of yeast into mash were 11.6 and 13.9 (titration volumn ml with N/10-NaOH) respectively, which were slightly in excess of the nomal takjoo mash. 2. The best brewing product could be attained when L. bulgaricus was inoculated and fermented simultaneously with the yeast at 3$0^{\circ}C$. 3. When the commercial amylase and Lactobacillus were used in the brewing of Takjoo, the best condition of saccharification could be attained on the treatment of the amylase for six hours before the inoculation of Lactobacillus and yeast.

Isoflavones of soy milk were mainly present as sugar conjugates such as genistin and daidzin which a glucosyl residue was attached to their aglycones, genistein and daidzein through ${\beta}-glycosidic$ bond, respectively. When soy milk containing sucrose as a sugar source was fermented with lactic acid bacteria, small amount of lactic acid $(0.16{\sim}0.29%)$ was produced but isoflavone conjugates were fully hydrolyzed. Supplementation of glucose or lactose was required for normal lactic acid production and affected the hydrolysis of isoflavone conjugates in some lactic acid bacteria. In the case of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii KCTC 1047, glycosidic bond of isoflavone was fully hydrolyzed regardless of glucose supplementation. But only $25{\sim}40%$ of daidzin and $65{\sim}80%$ of genistin was hydrolyzed when glucose was added into soy milk in the other lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus bulgaricus KCTC 3188, Lactobacillus casei KCTC 3109, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp lactis KCTC 1058, Lactobacillus lactis KCTC 2181. The hydrolyzing enzyme, ${\beta}-glucosidase$ produced by lactic acid bacteria except Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii KCTC 1047 could be considered as inducible in the fermentation of soy milk and its production was decreased when glucose was added.
