In this study, two kinds of mealworm seasoning pastes (naturally fermented or inoculation of Bacillus subtilis) were prepared by applying fermentation method of chungkukjang. The samples were labeled into soybean control (SC; no fermentation), mealworm control (MC; no fermentation), mealworm natural fermentation (MR) and mealworm inoculated fermentation of Bacillus (MB). Water content, color, pH, titratable acidity, salinity, amino acid nitrogen, reducing sugar and preference test were examined on the pastes. Moisture contents were 46.9 with soybean control (MC) and 54.5~73.3 with mealworm pastes. The L-value was not significantly different between the samples. In the case of the a-value and the b-value, SC showed the highest value whereas mealworm pastes showed lower values than SC. pH and salinity were higher in mealworm pastes. Amino nitrogen and reducing sugar showed the highest values of MR 326,67 and 63.33 mg%, respectively. In the preference test, the appearance and flavor were the highest values with SC, but texture, taste and overall acceptability were with MR, Therefore, soybean fermentation method with Bacillus species could be applied to use protein of mealworm and possibly edible insects as well.

Fermented total mixed ration (TMR) is a novel feed for ruminants in South Korea. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on the quality of TMR and in vitro ruminal fermentation. Strains of three LAB spp. (Lactobacillus plantarum, L. brevis, L. mucosae) were used in fermentation of TMR. Inoculations with the three LAB spp. lowered pH and increased concentrations of lactic acid, acetic acid, and total organic acid compared to non-LAB inoculated control (only addition of an equivalent amount of water) (p<0.05). Bacterial composition indicated that aerobic bacteria and LAB were higher. However, E. coli were lower in the fermented TMR than those in the control treatment (p<0.05). Among the treatments, L. brevis treatment had the highest concentration of total organic acid without fungus detection. Gas production, pH, and ammonia-nitrogen during ruminal in vitro incubation did not differ throughout incubation. However, ruminal total VFA concentration was higher (p<0.05) in the LAB spp. treatments than the control treatment at 48 hours. Overall, the use of L. brevis as an inoculant for fermentation of high moisture. TMR could inhibit fungi growth and promote lactic fermentation, and enhance digestion in the rumen.

Effect of different levels (0 ,0.05, 0.15, 0.25%) of xanthan gum on kakdugi fermentation was investigated by analyzing physicochemical and sensory characteristics during fermentation at 2$0^{\circ}C$. During fermentation, pH was maintained higher, and total acidity and number of lactic acid bacteria, maintained lower in xanthan gum groups, especially in 0.05% addition group than control. Free sugar amount were higher in xanthan gun groups than control, and glucose and fructose which were the major free sugars, decreased rapidly during fermentation, whereas mannitol increased in all samples, especially in xanthan gum groups. Liquid content of kakdugi was smaller in 0.05% xanthan gum group than control. Viscosity of kakdugi liquid decreased rapidly whereas initial viscosity was maintained in xanthan gum groups. Hardness decreased during fermentation, but at the 7th day of fermentation was higher in 0.05% xanthan gum group than control. The result of sensory evaluation shows that there were no significant difference in sour odor, moldy, sour taste and savory taste among samples. Starch taste was higher in 0.15% or 0.25% xanthan gum, but there is no difference in 0.05% group, compared to control. Overall preference until the 5th day of fermentation, xanthan gum group was not significantly different from that of control but at the 7th day of fermentation, 0.05% addition group was significantly higher than control.

The Mixed effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Glycyrrhiza uralensis(SG) on kimchi fermentation was investigated by measuring changes of physicochemical, icrobiological and sensory qualities of kimchi during fermentation. The pH of SG-added kimchi was a little higher than that of control during the fermentation. Titratable acidity, viable cell of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria in mixed medicinal herbs(SG) added kimchi were changed more slowly than those in control. The inhibitory effect of the mixture on kimchi fermentation was increased as the concentration of the mixture was increased from 1% to 5%. Total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria of 3% and 5% SG-added kimchi reduced to 1.3~2.9 and 1.2~4.0 log10 cycle after 15 days fermentatin compared to control. The changes in texture of SG-added kimchi was a higher and sour taste of SG-containing kimchi excepts of 1% SG-added kimchi was more weak than that of control. Sensory score of flavor and overall acceptability did not show any significant difference between SG-added kimchi and control during fermentation. But SG-added kimchi decreased its sensory quality by 5% the other kimch.

Fungal diseases including anthracnose, stem rot, blight, wilting, and root rot of crops are caused by phytopathogens such as Colletotrichum species, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Phytophthora species, and Fusarium oxysporum and F. solani which threaten the production of chili pepper. In this study, to identify biological control agents (BCAs) of phytopathogenic fungi, potentially useful Bacillus species were isolated from the field soils. We screened out five Bacillus strains with antagonistic capacity that are efficiently inhibiting the growth of phytopathogenic fungi. Bacillus species were characterized by the production of extracellular enzymes, siderophores, and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Furthermore, the influence of bacterial strains on the plant growth promoting activity and seedling vigor index were assessed using Brassica juncea as a model plant. Inoculation with Bacillus subtilis SRCM 121379 significantly increased the length of B. juncea shoots and roots by 45.6% and 52.0%, respectively. Among the bacterial isolates, Bacillus subtilis SRCM 121379 showed the superior enzyme activities, antagonistic capacity and plant growth promoting effects. Based on the experimental results, Bacillus subtilis SRCM 121379 (GenBank accession no. NR027552) was finally selected as a BCA candidate.

Lipid oxidation in ascidian was studied when fresh, deshelled and sliced meats were fermented for 50 days at 5$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ with 8%(w/w) salt and 0.1% papain. Antioxidative effects of butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT) and carotenoid extracts from ascidian tunic on lipid oxidation and oxidationrelated discoloration of ascidian meat during fermentation were investigated. Changes in peroxide value, carbonyl value, thiobarbituric acid value, fatty acids composition, the loss of total carotenoid and sensory evaluation were determined to assess the rancidity. Peroxide and carbonyl values in BHT and carotenoid extract treatments increased less than those of the control during fermentation. TBA value increased until 30 days, hereafter tended to decrease a little in the control during fermentation. TBA value increased until 30 days, hereafter tended to decrease a little in the control but it increased slowly until 40 days in cases of 0.02% BHT or 0.02% BHT with 0.05% carotenoid added. Fatty acids of fresh ascidian composed of polyenoic acid, saturated acid and monoenoic acid of 51.5%, 28.1% and 20.7%, respectively. Saturated fatty acids(C16:0, C14:0, C18:0) and monoenoic acids(C18:1, C16:1) increased while polyenoic acids(C20:5, C22:6) decreased during fermentation. Carotenoid was markedly degraded and discolored in the control during fermentation. But 0.02% BHT and 0.05% carotenoid treatments had bright color like fresh meat during 40 days. The results of sensory evaluation during the fermentation also convinced the retard of discoloration by the addition of BHT and carotenoid.
