The aim of this study was to propose utilization of tofu whey concentrates separated by ultrafiltration (UF) for yogurt production. The curd yogurt was prepared from whole milk added with skim milk Powder in which UF powder was substituted 0$\%$, 6.25$\%$, 12.5$\%$ or 25$\%$ for skim milk powder. The quality characteristics of yogurt in terms of pH, titratable acidity, viscosity, color and viable cell counts were evaluated. There were no significant differences in pH and titratable acidity between control (yogurt added with only skim milk powder) and yogurt added with UF powder after 24 hr of fermentation at 37$^{\circ}C$. Apparent viscosity of yogurt added with UF powder was lower (2,623 $\∼$ 3,189 cps) than that of the control yogurt (3,196 cps). Lightness and redness value of yogurt added with UF powder were not significantly different from control yogurt, while yellowness value increased as the amount of UF powder increased. Addition of UF powder stimulated the growth of lactic acid bacteria. Gas chromatographic analysis detected acetaldehyde, diacetyl, and organic acids, and more volatile compounds were detected in yogurt added with UF powder. Sensory analysis showed that yogurt added with UF powder were evaluated as acceptable as control yogurt. Therefore, UF powder could be substituted for skim milk powder without depressing yogurt qualify.

The effects of lactic acid bacteria on the chemical and microbial changes of fermented kimchi at various temperatures were studied. Kimchi was homogenized and was sterilized by ultra violet, then Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Pediococcus acidilactici, Lactobacillus brevis and the mixture of there bacteria inoculated on sterilized kimchi, respectively. The measurement of pH and total acidity, quantitative analysis of volatile organic acids and nonvolatile organic acids by gas chromatography were investigated while inoculated kimchi were fermented at $30^{\circ}C$, $21^{\circ}C$, $14^{\circ}C$ and $7^{\circ}C$. Sample I (original kimchi homogenate), Sample III (inoculated with Leuconostoc mesenteroides) and Sample Ⅵ (inoculated with mixed lactic acid bacteria) were alike in that changes of pH and total acidity and especially, these phenomena were prominent at $14^{\circ}C$. Formic, acetic and heptenoic acid as volatile organic acid were detected by GC, and these acids formed mainly by Leuconostoc mesenteroides and lactobacillus brevis. Sample III was more higher content than other samples at $14^{\circ}C$. As nonvolatile organic acid, lactic acid in all samples, citric acid in sample III at $21^{\circ}C$and $14^{\circ}C$, succinic acid in sample I at $30^{\circ}C$, $21^{\circ}C$, $14^{\circ}C$ and sample V at $30^{\circ}C$ were detected by GC.

This study was investigated (replaced) the sensory and physicochemical properties of Jeungpyun substituted with 30% or 60% of brown rice and barley flours, respectively. The quality changes of the functional Jeougpyun during the storage periods were analyzed by a texturometer. We found that batter pH was decreased as fermentation progressed, but showed a higher pH resulted after steaming. The brown rice replaced Jeungpyun had higher specific gravity and lower viscosity; however, the barley-replaced Jeungpyun had lower specific gravity and higher viscosity compared to those of the control(0% replace with brown rice or barley flour). The barley-replaced samples showed significantly larger volume indexes than that of the control. The L-value of the for lightness decreased significantly within the replaced samples(p<0.001). All samples had negative a-values, with slight peen colors rather than red. The barley-replaced samples were darker than those of the brown rice sample groups, with less green and yellow color. The brown rice-replaced samples had larger values for adhesiveness, overall, and moistness, and the barley-replaced samples showed intensities greater in cell size, springiness, hardness, and flavor by sensory evaluation. The 30% flour-replaced samples of the comparisons had higher values for overall desirability(p<0.001). The replaced samples showed slow increases in hardness when measured by a texturometer, indicating that, the retrogradation rates decreased as the storage periods increased. The control stored for 72 hr had a hardness value that was 8.0 times harder than that of the control stored for one hour. The 30 and 60% brown rice-replaced samples stored for 72 hr were 5.8 times and 4.7 times harder of their replacement level, respectively, and the 30 and 60% barley-replaced samples stored for 72 hr were 5.7 times and 4.2 times harder of their replacement level, respectively. The adhesiveness and cohesiveness of all samples tended to decrease as the storage period increased. The barley-replaced samples showed significantly the lower adhesiveness and cohesiveness during the storage periods. The springiness of all samples decreased slowly during the storage periods. In conclusion, Jeungpyun that was substituted with brown rice and barley flours demonstrated improved functionality and higher dietary fiber replaced effect. Furthermore, the storage period of was extended as the retrogradation rate was delayed as a result of the dietary fibers.

We conducted this study to develop a high value black garlic Makgeolli that was made of black garlic extract (BGE) and Sulgidduk. We investigated the quality characteristics of Makgeolli made with three different combinations of materials (control, Sulgidduk only; A, Sulgidduk combined with 15% BGE and water; B, Sulgidduk combined with 15% BGE instead of water). The pH of A and B were higher than the control, but the titratable acidity of A and B were lower. The sugar and alcohol contents of A and B increased during fermentation. A similar growth pattern was observed invisible cells, yeast, and lactic acid bacteria in all three Makgeolli. In A and B, the quantity of lactic acid bacteria was relatively higher than the yeast. The L value (lightness) was highest in the control, and the a value (redness) and b value (yellowness) were higher in A and B. The antioxidant properties of the three types of Makgeolli were evaluated using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis[3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid]) radical scavenging activities. In these assays, B showed significantly higher radical scavenging activities than the other two Makgeolli.

Bacillus subtilis JM3 protease from naturally fermented anchovy sauce was partially purified in 40-60% ammonium sulfate fraction. To accelerate fermentation of anchovy sauce, 2 and 4% crude B. subtilis JM3 proteases were added to 6 month-ripened anchovy sauce, and their hydrolysis degrees and amino-nitrogen contents were investigated at different storage times. Low molecular weight (LMW) peptide was purified by ultrafiltration ana gel permeation chromatography from anchovy sauce manufactured with B, subtilis JM3 protease. Anchovy sauces with 2 and 4% proteases increased hydrolysis rate by 27 and 32%, respectively. Amino-nitrogen contents of anchovy sauces fermented with 2 and 4% proteases were twofold higher than that of control. Control showed five peptide peaks on Bio-Rad P2 gel permeation chromatography spectrum, whereas anchovy sauces with 2 and 4% B. subtilis JM3 proteases showed six and seven peaks, respectively. ACE inhibitory activity was highest in peak 6 (43.75%) of anchovy sauce with 2% protease, followed by peak 5 (34.82%) of control. DPPH radical-scavenging effect was higher than 50% in all samples. Cytotoxicity was highest in peak 3 (44.12%) of control, fellowed by peak 5 (42.04%) of anchovy sauce with 4% protease.

Unpolished rice (UR) is considered to be a healthy alternative to white rice when coping with chronic diseases. In the present study, the fermented slurry of unpolished rice (FSUR) was evaluated with respect to its antimicrobial activities and biochemical characteristics, including the quantities of sugar, total soluble sugar, organic acids, free amino acids, pH, and physiological activity. The antimicrobial efficiency of FSUR was assessed using the paper disc-agar diffusion method. FSUR exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against six pathogenic bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, and Yersinia enterocolitica) and two fermentation strains (Gluconacetobacter intermedius and Lodderomyces elongisporus). The antimicrobial activity of FSUR was higher than the commercial antibiotics, carbenicillin ($50{\mu}g/ml$) and tetracycline ($50{\mu}g/ml$) against S. aureus, E. coli, L. monocytogenes, P. aeruginosa, S. typhimurium, Y. enterocolitica, and L. elongisporus. Also FSUR had a high antioxidant activity. The microorganisms were isolated from FSUR using tryptic soy broth and yeast extract-peptone-dextrose agar media. The isolated microorganisms were characterized using physiological and biochemical analyses as well as by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenic analysis. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolated microorganisms had a high similarity to G. intermedius, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Acetobacter peroxydans.

This research performed to evaluate a production processes reporting by the HACCP system of green vegetable juice products, containing lactic acid bacteria, stage of processing raw materials agricultural products and production facilities of general bacteria and pathogenic micro organism. General bacteria are found from four samples of storage of agricultural products at process stage and water was detected 8.67~14.67 CFU/ml. However, all samples were detected less than 105 CFU/ml as a legal standards after the process of UV sterilization. For the outcome of experiment of E.coli, E.coli O157:H7, B.cereus, L.moonocytogenes, Salmonella spp, Staph.aureus as the food poisoning bacterial, E.coli was detected until UV pre-step process in storage process and B.cereus was detected partly till 1st washing. Since all bacterial, Yeast and Mold are detected in main materials, pre-control method is a necessary to establish for decreasing with a number of initial bacteria of main materials and it is considered to establish the effective ways of washing and sterilization such as production facilities for cross contamination prevention of bacteria and Sthaphylococcus. Based on above results, the process of UV sterilization should be managed with CCP as an important process to reduce or eliminate the general and food poisoning bacterial of green vegetable juice products, including lactic acid bacteria. Therefore, it is considered to need an exhaustive HACCP plan such as control manual of UV sterilization, solution method, verification, education and training and record management.

Effects of Prunus mume byproduct (PLB), obtained after manufacture of Prunus mume liquer, on quality characteristics of bread were investigated. The pH of dough and bread decreased but titratable acidity increased by addition of 10% or 20% PLB. The volume of dough during fermentation and the baking loss of bread containing PLB were smaller than those of the dough and bread without PLB. The weight of bread increased but the volume decreased by addition of PLB. L (lightness) value increased and a (redness) value decreased in the surface of bread containing PLB. b (yellowness) value did not show difference between treatments. The internal color of bread containing PLB decreased in L and a value but increased in b value. The hardness and strength of bread decreased with 10% PLB but increased with 20% PLB compared to control. Cohesiveness and springiness of bread increased with 10% or 20% PLB, but did not show significant difference between concentrations. As results of sensory evaluation, taste and flavor of the bread containing 10% PLB increased significantly compared to control. The sensory quality of bread with 20% PLB decreased significantly. The strength, springiness, and hardness of bread with 20% PLB were higher than those of control. The taste, flavor, color, and overall acceptability of bread with 10% PLB were better than those of control. No molds were found in breads with 20% PLB and 20% PLB powder during storage for 1 week at room temperature.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of roasted rice bran (RRB) on the rheological properties of bread dough. According to farinograph analysis, the consistency of the control sample was greatest. There were no significant differences in water absorption (p<0.05). Lower values of development time, stability, and time to breakdown, which were affected, by the addition of RRB, were observed for RRB-containing dough samples, compared to the control dough sample. Addition of RRB significantly increased the mixing tolerance index (MTI). According to rheofermentometer analysis, the values of H'm, $T^{\prime}_1$, and retention volume decreased with increase in the amount of RRB added. According to the rapid visco analyzer (RVA) analysis, peak viscosity, holding strength, and setback values were greater in the control than in the RRB-containing samples. The addition of RRB to the flour influenced rheological properties like fermentation volume and acidity. The total acidity increased with the increase in the amount of RRB added. The present study has indicated that there was no significant difference between the rheological properties of the control and 5% RRB-containing dough samples. Therefore, the addition of 5% RRB could be an effective way to produce functional flour bread without affecting its desirable physical properties.

This study was conducted to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of fermented Smilax china leaf ethylacetate extracts by Aspergillus oryzae on carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury in mice. Experimental mice were divided into four groups (five mice/group) (NC; normal control group, CB; basic diet supplemented before $CCl_4$ treatment group, NS ; basic diet mixed with 0.5% Smilax china leaf ethyl acetate extract supplemented before $CCl_4$ treatment group, FS; basic diet mixed with 0.5% fermented Smilax china leaf ethyl acetate extract supplemented before $CCl_4$ treatment group) fed for 4 weeks each. In the $CCl_4$-treated groups (CB, NS and FS) compared with the NC group, liver weights, activities of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase, contents of triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol in serum, and hepatic lipid peroxide levels increased, whereas body weight gain and contents of glutathione and HDL-cholesterol decreased. Furthermore, in the FS groups compared with the NS and CB groups, increased or decreased indicators by $CCl_4$ treatment significantly decreased or increased, respectively. This study suggests that fermented Smilax china L. leaf extracts may regulate xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase inhibitory activities and hepatoprotective effects due to flavonoid aglycone derived from its glycoside in leaves of Smilax china by fermentation of A. oryzae.
