For the purpose of utilizing aspartame as sweetener of kimchi, the kimchi containing 0.01 to 0.08% aspartame was investigated by measuring pH, acidity, texture, color, sensory evaluation test during fermentation of 250days at 1$0^{\circ}C$, The pH of kimchi added aspartame was a little higher than that of control. The Hunter L-value of kimchi containing 0.01 to 0.04% aspartame was higher than that of control, and "a" and "b" values were also high in 0.06 to 0.08% and 0.01 to 0.08% treatments, respectively. The sweet taste and overall taste of kimchi containing 0.02% were suitable. In spite of the decrease of sweetener's degree by decomposition of aspartame during fermentation, the edible period of the kimchi by decrease of sour taste was also extended.e was also extended.

Kimchi is a traditional Korean fermented vegetable probiotic food. The use of high quality ingredients and predominant LAB (lactic acid bacteria)-whether it be ambient bacteria or adding starters, low temperature and facultative anaerobic condition for the fermentation are important factors for preparing kimchi with better taste and functionality. The predominated LAB genera are Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, and Weissella in kimchi fermentation. The representative species are Leu. mesenteroides, Leu. citrium, Lab. plantarum, Lab. sakei, and Wei. koreensis. Kimchi, especially the optimally fermented kimchi, has various health benefits, including control of colon health, antioxidation, antiaging effects, cancer preventive effect, antiobesity, control of dyslipidemic and metabolic syndrome, etc.; due to the presence of LAB, various nutraceuticals, and metabolites from the ingredients and LAB. The kimchi LAB are good probiotics, exhibiting antimicrobial activity, antioxidant, antimutagenic and anticancer effects, as well as immunomodualatory effect, antiobesity, and cholesterol and lipid lowering effects. Thus, kimchi ingredients, LAB, fermentation methods, and metabolites are important factors that modulate various functionalities. In this review, we introduced recent information showing kimchi and its health benefits in Korean Functional Foods (Park & Ju 2018).

The effect of glue plant(Codium fragile) on the Dongchimi fermentation was investigated by measuring physicochemical properties during fermentation at $10^{\circ}C$. Dongchimi was prepared with various levels(0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%) of glue plant(Codium fragile). The pH of Dongchimi decreased slowly in all samples during fermentation. Total acidity of Dongchimi increased gradually during fermentation and total acidity of Dongchimi with glue plant(Codium fragile) was higher than that of control. Redox potentials decreased until 30 days of fermentation but increased thereafter. Reducing sugar content increased in the initial stage of the fermentation periods, and then decreased gradually. The reducing sugar content of Dongchimi with glue plant(Codium fragile) was higher than that of control. The content of total vitamin C was much higher in dongchimi with glue plant(Codium fragile). In color measurement, lightness value decreased gradually. However, redness and yellowness values increased gradually during fermentation but decreased thereafter. The content of hot water soluble pectin(HWSP) decreased as the fermentation proceeded, but the content of hydrochloric acid soluble pectin(HClSP) and sodium hexametaphosphate soluble pectin(NaSP) increased.

Blueberry Makgeolli was made with rice by adding different amounts of blueberries, and the fermentation characteristics of Makgeolli were studied during the fermentation process. The pH was the highest (6.6) at the beginning of the fermentation and decreased when the ratio of blueberries increased. The pH was remarkably reduced until the second day, and remained constant until the seventh day of fermentation. The total acidity was significantly increased until the fourth day of fermentation, and remained constant until the seventh day. Sugar contents ($^{\circ}Brix$) and reducing sugar reached the maximum after 2 days of fermentation, and gradually decreased until the seventh day. Alcohol content of control (0% blueberries) increased continuously until the seventh day of fermentation and was at 13.4%. Alcohol content of 20% blueberry Makgeolli reached the maximum on the 4th day of fermentation and slowly decreased to 10.2% until the seventh day. Total viable bacterial cell counts and yeast cell counts showed the maximum values at the third day of fermentation. In sensory evaluation, the color of the control sample was the most favored by the panelists whereas 20% blueberry sample was the least favored. There were no significant differences in flavor and taste, but overall preference was high in Makgeolli with less than 10% of blueberries.

We Isolated strains of Micrococcus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Leuconostoc sp. which have protease activity in the Changran-Jeotgal. These microbes were added in the Changran-Jeotgal for the starters during fermentation to short fermentation period to check PH, VBN, $NH_2-N,$ free amino acids, and sensory evaluation. Microbiological changes were also examined for microorganism-added Changran-Jeotgal and the control. Viable cell counts in the microorganism-added Changran-Jeotgal increased from $7.1\times10^5\;CFU/g\;to\;7.5\times10^8\;CFU/g$ on 15th day, The cell counts in the control increased from $4.1\times10^5\;CFU/g\;to\;8.1\times10^8\;CFU/g$ on 30th day. VBN also increased in both. Increasing rates of $NH_2-N$ and free amino acids in the microorganism-added Changran-Jeotgal were faster than those in the control. Sensory evaluation showed that the microorganism-added Changran-Jeotgal was most favorable on 20th day. These results showed that fermentation period was shortened about 10 days in comparison with the control.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of new lactic acid bacteria as an additive for improving the quality of the Miscanthus sinnensis silage fermentation. The percentage of crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculated silage showed similar to the control. The pH of Miscanthus sinnensis (MS) silage in the treatment of LAB inoculation significantly decreased as compared to control (p<0.05). The content of lactic acid in the treatment of LAB inoculation significantly increased (p<0.05) as compared to control, but, the content of acetic acid was reduced in the treatment of LAB inoculation. Also, numbers of the lactic acid bacteria population were higher in LAB-treated silage as compared to control (p<0.05). The present study suggested that an addition of lactic acid bacteria significantly improved the quality fermentation in Miscanthus sinnensis silage.

To evaluate the effect of Hydrangea serrata Seringe extract on kakdoogi(Korean radish kimchi), the kakdoogi was prepared, after supplementation, with Hydrangea serrata Seringe extract(0, 1.25, 2.5 and 5%(v/w)). The quality characteristics of the kakdoogi were investigated during 7 days of fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$. The proximate components of the Hydrangea serrata Seringe leaves were 3.48% crude protein, 6.45% crude lipid, 7.98% crude fiber and 9.32% crude ash. The pH values in the samples with the extract were higher than that of both the control group and the sugar group. The total acidity levels in the sugar group was higher than that of other groups. The sugar group showed higher L value(lightness) than that of kakdoogi fermented with the extract. A value(redness) and B value(yellowness) of the supplemented kakdoogi was lower than that of the control and the sugar group on day 7. The hardness of samples with the extract was higher than that of the sugar group. And the hardness of the groups with the extract was not reduced during the fermentation period. The control group showed higher salinity than the other groups by day 4. The samples with the extract were sweeter than the control group on day 0 then the difference disappeared after day 2. Sourness of all the groups increased during the fermentation period. However the extract did not affect the hardness or overall acceptability of the kakdoogi during fermentation.

Objective: Fasting may lead to changes in the microbiota and activity in the rumen. In the present study, the effects of fasting on rumen microbiota and the impact of fasting on in vitro rumen fermentation were evaluated using molecular culture-independent methods. Methods: Three ruminally cannulated Holstein steers were fed rice straw and concentrates. The ruminal fluids were obtained from the same steers 2 h after the morning feeding (control) and 24 h after fasting (fasting). The ruminal fluid was filtrated through four layers of muslin, collected for a culture-independent microbial analysis, and used to determine the in vitro rumen fermentation characteristics. Total DNA was extracted from both control and fasting ruminal fluids. The rumen microbiota was assessed using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Microbial activity was evaluated in control and fasting steers at various intervals using in vitro batch culture with rice straw and concentrate at a ratio of 60:40. Results: Fasting for 24 h slightly affected the microbiota structure in the rumen as determined by DGGE. Additionally, several microorganisms, including Anaerovibrio lipolytica, Eubacterium ruminantium, Prevotella albensis, Prevotella ruminicola, and Ruminobacter amylophilus, decreased in number after fasting. In addition, using the ruminal fluid as the inoculum after 24 h of fasting, the fermentation characteristics differed from those obtained using non-fasted ruminal fluid. Compared with the control, the fasting showed higher total gas production, ammonia, and microbial protein production (p<0.05). No significant differences, however, was observed in pH and dry matter digestibility. Conclusion: When in vitro techniques are used to evaluate feed, the use of the ruminal fluid from fasted animals should be used with caution.

This study was conducted to determine the rumen fermentation dynamics of lupin flakes and elucidate the effects of lupin flake supplementation on the growth performance, blood metabolites, and carcass characteristics of Hanwoo steers. In vitro and in situ trials of lupin grains and lupin flakes were conducted using three Hanwoo cows with rumen fistulas. The feeding trial included 40 early-fattening Hanwoo steers randomly divided into four groups: control, T1, T2, and T3. Their formula feed contained 0%, 3%, 6%, and 9% lupin flakes, respectively. In vitro rumen pH and ammonia concentrations were lower in the lupin flake group than in the lupin grain group after 6 and 24 h of incubation, respectively (p < 0.05). Concentrations of propionate, butyrate, and total volatile fatty acids were higher in the lupin flake group than in the lupin grain group after 12 h of incubation (p < 0.05), as was the crude protein disappearance rate at 9 and 12 h of rumen fermentation (p < 0.05). Supplementation with lupin flakes did not affect the average daily gain. Compared to that in the control group, dry matter intake was lower in the lupin flake-supplemented groups (p < 0.05); the feed conversion ratio was lower in T2 and T3 (p < 0.05); and plasma total protein concentration in 29-month-old steers was lower in T1 and T3 (p < 0.05). Plasma triglyceride concentration was lower in the lupin flake-supplemented groups than in the control group (p < 0.05). The incidence rate of yield grade A was higher in T1 and T2 than in the control group; the incidence rate of meat quality 1⁺ grade or higher was highest in T2. The carcass auction price was higher in T2 than in the other groups. Overall, compared to whole lupin grains, lupin flakes seem to more substantially affect rumen ammonia concentrations and crude protein disappearance rate. Additionally, we suggest that supplementation with 6% lupin flake formula feed exerts positive effects on the feed conversion ratio, yield grade, and quality grade of Hanwoo steers.
