This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of goat and cow milk yogurts containing high-exopolysaccharide fermented by Streptoccous thermophilus LFG isolated from kefir. The pH of cow milk yogurt was higher than that of goat milk yogurt. The contents of lactic acid was greater in goat milk yogurt (743.9-1043.8 mg/100 g) than in cow milk yogurt (441.6-709.9 mg/100 g). The numbers of survival lactic acid bacteria were the greatest in goat milk yogurt fermented by Str. thermophilus LFG. Viscosity was greater in cow and goat milk yogurts cultured by Str. thermophilus LFG than in yogurts by Str. thermophilus TH3. Syneresis of yogurt fermented by Str. thermophilus LFG was 9.6-16.1% and 28.2-31.8% in yogurt fermented by Str. thermophilus TH3 after 10 d storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Flavor compounds identified from goat milk were acetone, ethylbutanoate, ethyl-3-methylbutyrate, ethyl-2-butenoate and ethylhexanoate, and those from cow milk were ethylbutanoate, acetone, 2-heptanone and acetoin. Flavor compounds detected from goat milk and cow milk yogurts were acetic acid, butanoic acid, butanol, diethylcarbinol, acetone, diacetyl, decane, 2-methyl-3-pentanone, hexanal, 2-heptanone, acetoin, benzaldehyde, dimethyldisulfide, and dimethyltrisulfide. In sensory evaluation, overall preference and texture values were higher in goat milk yogurt fermented by Str. thermophilus LFG than in cow milk yogurts and the yogurt fermented by mixed culture resulted in the highest score.

Two strains of pure lactic acid bacteria capable of forming both acid and slime were isolated from the kefir made of goat milk. The isolated strains observed by morphological and physiological properties, and their 16S rDNA partial sequence were identified as Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus(LFG-1) and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lacits(LFG-2) with over 99% homology. The optimum temperature of Str. salivarius subs. thermophilus LFG-1 for growth was $40-45^{\circ}C$, and its generation time was 40.6 minutes. The final pH of cultured broth by Str. salivarius subsp. thermophilus LFG-1 and the commercial strain Str. thermophilus Body-1 for 24hr at $37^{\circ}C$ were 4.30 and 4.55, respectively. The coagulative activity of Str. salivarius subsp. thermophilus LFG-1 was almost as strong as that of commercial strain Str. thermophilus Body-1. However, the LFG-2 strain showed lower coagulative activity than Str. thermophilus Body-1. The survival rate of lactic acid bacteria were between 22-29% in 0.3% bile extract. At pH 1.0 all of the bacteria were killed, and most of lactic acid bacteria died against pH 3.0. However, all lactic acid bacteria survived well at pH 4.5.

In order to investigate the effects of ginseng extract on the acid production and bacterial growth in the skim milk medium, ginseng extract was added to skim milk medium for 0.3 to 2.4% and the medium was fermented by Str. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus and mixed strain with both bacteria. The acidity and bacterial number were examined by incubation time. The results were summarized as follows: 1. The acidity of medium without ginseng extract after 12 hours incubation by Str. thermophilus was 11.1% and that by L. bulgaricus was 1.01%, whereas that of medium with ginseng extract was 1.08~0.61% for Str. thermophilus and 0.99~0.49% for L. bulgaricus. Therefore, acid production was inhibited by ginseng extract. 2. The number of bacteria in the medium without ginseng extract after 12 hours incubation was $5.2{\times}10^8/m{\ell}$ for Str. thermophilus and $3.2{\times}10^8/m{\ell}$ for L. bulgancus, whereas that in the medium with ginseng extract was $3.6{\times}10^8/m{\ell}{\sim}1.3{\times}10^8/m{\ell}$ for Str. thermophilus and $2.9{\times}10^8/m{\ell}$ and $1.4{\times}10^8/m{\ell}$ for L bulgancus. Therefore, the number of bacteria was decreased by the amount of ginseng extract increased. 3. However, when skim milk medium was fermented by mixed strains, ginseng extract was not affected on the acid production and bacterial number. On the contrary, in some case, the number of bacteria was increased by addition of ginseng extract.

The optimal condition for manufacturing the yoghurt by using B. bifidum and L. acidophilus was studied. Optimal growth condition of B. bifidum and fermentation effects of B. bifidum, L. acidophilus and Str. thermophilus in mixed culture were investigated separately. Fermentation conditions of B. bifidum were optimized in 12% reconstitued skim milk. The addition of BIOS 2000 to 12% skimmilk was effective on the growth and acid production of B. bifidum. There was asymbiosis among B. bifidum, L. acidophilus and Str. thermophilus in mixed culture which resulted in higher viable cell numbers and acid production. The optimum production of yoghurt was achieved by incubation at $37^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours with 5% mixed starter culture (B. bifidum+L.acidophilus+Str. thermophilus). In this case the effective ratio of B. bifidum: L. acidophilus: Str. thermophilus was 2:1:1 on both acid production and viable cell counts.

The effect of chlorella extract on the growth and acid production of yoghurt starter was investigated in order to prepare the yoghurt added with chlorella extract. The various levels of chlorella extract powder were added to skim milk medium and the medium was fermented by single or mixed culture of 4 types of lactic acid bacteria such as Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. The changes in acid production(pH, titratable acidity) and number of viable cells of the medium during fermentation in skim milk added with chlorella extract powder have determined. When chlorella extract powder was added to skim milk medium at the levels of 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, and 3.0%, the addition of 0.5% chlorella extract powder with the single culture of Str. thermophilus, Lac. casei, and Lac. bulgaricus showed the highest number of viable cell counts after 9 hours incubation. And also all single cultures of the yoghurt starter produced the higher amounts of acid with the addition of 0.5% chlorella extract powder. When chlorella extract powder was added to the medium at the levels of 0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%, the addition of lower lever(0.25∼0.5%) of chlorella extract powder with the mixed culture of the lactic acid bacteria showed more the acidity of pH and the number of viable cell counts. Among the treatments tested, the addition of 0.25% chlorella extract powder with the mixed culture of Str. thermophilus and Lac. casei produced the highest number of viable cell counts after 12 hours incubation. Therefore it was suggested to manufacture the yoghurt with the addition of 0.25% chlorella extract powder and the inoculation of mixed culture of Str. thermophilus and Lac. casei for on the stimulation of growth of the yoghurt starter.

This study was carried out to investigate the properties of crude exopolysaccaride (CEPS) produced by Streptococcus thermophilus LFG in goat milk. The yields of CEPS from yogurt cultured with Str. thermophilus LFG were greater at higher temperatures $(40-45^{\circ}C)$ than at lower temperatures $(30-35^{\circ}C)$. Goat milk yogurt had lower viscosity values than cow milk yogurt. However, the CEPS yield was higher in goat milk yogurt than in cow milk yogurt. The yields of CEPS from yogurt were also higher in cultured milk containing 3% glucose (14-21%), and 3% sucrose (4-16%) relative to the control yogurt. Antioxidant activities were higher in goat milk yogurt supernatant (21%) and its CEPS (28%) than cow milk yogurt supernatant (11%) and its CEPS (24%). The amino acid contents of CEPS were higher in yogurt using goat milk than that using cow milk. The CEPS extracted from goat milk yogurt produced by Str. thermophilus LFG consists of carbohydrate (37% w/w) and protein (63% w/w). The CEPS consisted of monosaccharides such as glucose 56.45% (w/w), galactose 42.35% (w/w), galactosamine 1.37% (w/w), glucosamine 1.09% (w/w) and fucose 0.27% (w/w).

1) Among five lactic acid bacteria examined, Str. thermophilus and Str. diacetilactis produced remarkably greater amount of acids in soybean milk than Str. lactis, Str. cremoris and L. bulgaricus. 2) Soybean milk and skimmed dry milk were combined in the ratio of 7 : 3 and were carried out in lactic acid fermentation for 24 hours at optimum temperature. The result indicated that the yield of precipitation and protein content of it were the most, the moisture content was the least and curd structure formed was considered too hard. 3) Based on these and other results, following procedure was used for manufacturing: soybean milk and skimmed dry milk were combined in the ratio of 7 : 3, heated at $121^{\circ}C$ for 20 min., cooled, added Str. thermophilus as lactic acid starter and incubated for 24 hours and $37{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The curd was cooked, hooped, and pressed for 24 hours, to the surface of which, Penicillium caseicolum and sodium chloride were spread. During ripening of the curd at $15^{\circ}C$ and $85{\sim}90%$ RH for 21 days, Pen. caseicolum was highly developed after 7 days, pH was increased and proteolytie activity has reached to the peak point after 14 days. After 7 days of ripening total water soluble nitrogen, water soluble protein nitrogen and amino acids nitrogen were begun to increase. After 21 days of ripening total water soluble nitrogen, water soluble protein nitrogen and amino-N reached to 52%, 32% and 14% of total nitogen. In the soybean cheese, after 21 days of ripening, 17 or more kinds of amino acids were detected by two-dimentional paper chromatography. The product contained 63.2% of moisture, 17.5% of crude protein, 13.2% of crude fat, 2.8% of crude ash and 2.5% of sodium chloride.

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.
