The purpose of this study is to evaluate quality characteristics of the Cheonggukjang produced using rice straw-derived Bacillus cereus free starter culture (RiBS1). The Cheonggukjang was prepared in 0.1 and 1.0% inoculum concentrations of starter culture and fermented from 12 hr to 72 hr at 40 and $50^{\circ}C$. Amino-nitrogen contents after 48 hr fermentation were 559.6~590.2 mg% and 393.8~494.0 mg% at 40 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. Sensory evaluation showed that the Cheonggukjang fermented using RiBS1 starter for 48 hr at $50^{\circ}C$ was better than the control. And we inspected on B. cereus and biogenic amine in the Cheonggukjang produced using RiBS1 starter. As a results, B. cereus was not detected and histamine and tyramine of biogenic amine were $5.53{\pm}0.13{\sim}39.96{\pm}0.62mg/kg$. This research results showed that rice straw-derived B. cereus free starter culture (RiBS1) will be produce the Cheonggukjang with good flavour and taste.

Lactic acid와 acetic acid를 탄소원으로 이용할 수 있으며, 혐기적 상태에서 생육 가능하고 저온성, 내염성, 내산성의 성질을 가지며 뛰어난 방향성을 갖는, 김치로부터 분리된 효모, 즉 Saccharomyces sp. YK-17 균주와 Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 균주를 starter로 첨가하여 발효시켰을 때 김치의 이화학적 성분과 미생물의 경시적인 변화, 그리고 관능적 특성을 비교 평가하였다. Starter 첨가군 김치가 대조군보다 전 발효기간 동안 산생성량이 낮았고, 특히 S. fermentati YK-19 균주를 starter로 첨가할 경우 김치 적숙기(pH 4.0, 산도 $0.6{\sim}0.8%$)를 대조군보다 약 1.63배 연장시킬 수 있었다. 비휘발성 유기산의 변화는 발효가 진행됨에 따라 lactic acid가 가장 많이 생성되었으며, 초기에 1.71 mg/100g이던 것이 발효 30일째에는 대조군이 77.60 mg/100g으로, S. sp. YK-17 첨가군은 69.24 mg/100g으로, 그리고 S. fermentati YK-19 첨가군은 45.22 mg/100g으로 3실험군 중에서 YK-19첨가군이 가장 낮았다. 그리고 김치산패의 주 원인균으로 알려져 있는 젖산균인 Lactobacillus속 균주의 성장이 starter첨가 김치, 특히 S. fermentati YK-19 첨가 김치에서 현저하게 억제되었다. 또한 starter 균주의 산 이용성 및 우수한 방향 생성능으로 인해 starter 첨가군에서 신맛과 신내를 덜 느끼고 아울러 과실향에 유사한 향미가 김치에 부여됨으로써 대조군보다 기호도가 훨씬 높은 김치를 제조할 수 있었다.

In Korea, traditional doenjang is manufactured using the conventional method at home and by small-scale enterprises. Because this age-old process depends on natural inoculation of various microorganisms, it is difficult to reproduce or maintain consistency in the final product quality across batches. Moreover, doenjang occasionally prepared by this method raises safety concerns related to aflatoxin, biogenic amine, and Bacillus cereus contamination. To develop starters that can be conveniently used at home or in small industry settings for the manufacturing of safe and flavor-improved doenjang, autochthonous microbe starters were developed in dried forms as ready-to-use starters. Each starter powder prepared by heat- or freeze-drying methods remained stable even after 24-week storage. These ready- to-use starter powders were successfully applied to lab-scale fermentation for the production of safe and flavor-improved doenjang. We believe that these ready-to-use starter powders will benefit small-scale enterprises in the manufacturing of doenjang of good reproducible quality.

In this study, a natural fermentation starter formulation was developed for manufacturing Korean bread products by substituting baker's yeast with naturally fermented blueberry starters. As the incubation time of the blueberry extracts increased, the pH and total titratable acidity increased. The sweetness (brix%) of blueberry extracts containing various amounts of sugar were higher than the other sample. The result of alcoholicity for naturally fermented blueberry extracts, the fermented blueberry extract containing 20% sugar was highest. Lactic acid bacteria counts increased until the 4th day; however, it decreased from the 5th day, and viable yeast counts increased consistently until the 5th day. The volume for naturally fermented blueberry extracts increased as the incubation time increased. As the fermentation time of blueberry starters increased, the pH of bread dough decreased. The RVA analysis conveyed that wheat flour retrogradation was retarded by increasing the blueberry starter content. The weight of pan breads containing blueberry starters were higher than that of the control, while the volume, specific volume and baking loss rate were lower than those of the control. The moisture content of pan breads containing blueberry starter decreased as storage time increased. In analyzing the visible mold colony during 7 days of storage at $28^{\circ}C$, mold growth in pan breads containing the blueberry starter was retarded. The hardness of breads containing blueberry starters were significantly increased as storage time increased. The breads containing 50% naturally fermented blueberry starter have acceptable sensory properties. In conclusion, these results indicated that 50% of natural fermentation blueberry starter could be very useful as a substitute for yeast when making naturally fermented bread.

Kefir, which originates in the Caucasian mountains, is a cultured milk beverage produced by a combination of acidic and alcoholic fermentation. Kefir products are commonly used as food vehicles to deliver health-promoting materials including kefran and lactic acid bacteria to consumers. The aim of this study was to develop a freeze-dried starter culture without yeast and assess the suitability of kefir-like dairy products for the growth of lactic acid bacteria and the acidification of milk. Pasteurized whole milk (SNF 8.5%) stored at $25^{\circ}C$ was aseptically inoculated with starter cultures (0.002% w/v); it was kept at $25^{\circ}C$ until the pH attained a value of 4.6. Ten grams of the kefir-like product sample was diluted with 90 mL of 0.15% peptone water diluent in a milk dilution bottle, followed by uniform mixing for 1 min. Viable cells of Lactobacillus species were enumerated on modified-MRS agar (pH 5.2), with incubation at $37^{\circ}C$ for 48 h. Viable cells of Lactococcus species were enumerated on M17-lactose agar, with incubation at $32^{\circ}C$ for 48 h. The pH attained a value of 4.6 after fermentation for 9 h 30 min (Starter 1), 9 h 45 min (Starter 2), and 12 h (Starter 3). The viable cell count of Lactobacillus sp. and Lactococcus sp. was initially $10^5{\sim}10^6CFU/g$; it increased significantly to $10^9CFU/g$ after 12 h of incubation. During the storage of the kefir-like products at $4^{\circ}C$ for 1 4 days, the total viable cell numbers were unchanged, but the pH decreased slightly. The consistency of the kefir products increased gradually during the storage. The organoleptic properties of the kefir products fermented using the new starter culture are more desirable than those of commercial kefir. These results suggest that the newly developed starter culture without yeast could be suitable for kefir fermentation.

본 연구에서는 김치 유산균 starter의 사용이 김치의 품질특성과 건강기능성에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 single starter 김치(Lb. plantarum pnuK, Lb. plantarum 3099K, Leu. mesenteroides pnuK), mixed starter 김치(Lb. plantarum pnu/Leu. mesenteroides pnuK, Lb. plantarum 3099/Leu. mesenteroides pnuK), 자연 발효 김치(NK)를 제조하여 $15^{\circ}C$에서 6일간 발효하며 실험하였다. pH 및 산도는 발효 초기에는 차이가 없었으나 발효 2일부터 starter 접종 김치에서 빠른 변화를 보였다. 총호기성 세균과 Lactobacillus sp.는 발효가 진행될수록 비슷하게 증가하였으나 Leuconostoc sp.는 Leu. mesenteroides를 starter로 접종한 김치에서 높게 나타났다. 관능검사 결과 starter를 첨가한 김치에서 관능적 만족도가 높게 나타났으며, 혼합 starter 김치에서 만족도가 더 높았다. DPPH 및 hydroxyl radical 소거능 측정 결과, starter를 첨가한 김치에서 높은 항산화 효과를 보였다. MTT assay 결과, HCT-116 및 HT-29 세포에서 NK는 각각 63.4, 51.9%를 나타내었고 Lb. plantarum pnuK는 각각 77.1, 68.8%의 암세포 성장 저해율을 보였다. 따라서 starter 첨가 시 항산화 및 항암효과가 증가되며, 단일 starter 김치가 혼합 starter 김치보다 높은 기능성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 그중 새로 분리 동정된 Lb. plantarum pnu를 이용한 김치에서의 높은 대장암 세포 성장억제 효과를 확인하였다. Apoptosis 유도에 관련된 Bcl-2 및 Bax, 종양 억제에 관련된 p53 및 p21, 염증에 관련된 iNOS 및 COX-2 유전자 발현은 starter 첨가 김치에서 자연발효 김치보다 모두 apoptosis 유도 작용과 염증 및 종양을 억제하는 효과가 높게 나타났다. 가장 높은 효과를 보인 것은 Lb. plantarum pnuK이었으며 단일 starter 김치에서 혼합 starter 김치보다 효과가 높았다. 이상의 결과로 starter를 이용해 관능적 품질이 우수하고 기능성이 증진된 김치를 제조할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Starter cultures used during the fermentation of malt wort can increase the sensory characteristics of the resulting beverages. This study aimed to explore the aroma composition and flavor recognition of malt wort beverages fermented with lactic acid bacteria (Levilactobacillus brevis WiKim0194) isolated from kimchi, using metabolomic profiling and electronic tongue and nose technologies. Four sugars and five organic acids were detected using high-performance liquid chromatography, with maltose and lactic acid present in the highest amounts. Additionally, e-tongue measurements showed a significant increase in the sourness (AHS), sweetness (ANS), and umami (NMS) sensors, whereas bitterness (SCS) significantly decreased. Furthermore, 20 key aroma compounds were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and 15 key aroma flavors were detected using an electronic nose. Vanillin, citronellol, and β-damascenone exhibited significant differences in the flavor profile of the beverage fermented by WiKim0194, which correlated with floral, fruity, and sweet notes. Therefore, we suggest that an appropriate starter culture can improve sensory characteristics and predict flavor development in malt wort beverages.

In Western countries, kimchi, the Korean traditional fermented cabbage, is considered to be a healthy. However, it is one of the main sources of the high sodium content of the Korean diet. In order to decrease the sodium content, we manufactured a low-sodium kimchi (LK, salinity 1.0%) and 4 additional low-sodium kimchi starters in which each of 4 lactic acid bacteria (Lb. sakei 1, Lb. sakei 2, Lb. palntarum and W. koreensis) were added. The LKL1 to LKL4 samples were prepared by adding 4 single LAB starters, each with an inoculum size of $10^6CFU/g$, when the cabbage was mixed with kimchi sauce. The kimchi starters were fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ until reaching 0.5% acidity, and then stored at $-1.5^{\circ}C$ until reaching 0.75% acidity. The pH and acidity of the starter kimchi changed more rapidly in the early phase of fermentation (up to 0.75% acidity) than control low-sodium kimchi. After the acidity of the kimchi starters reached 0.75% it remained constant. As the fermentation progressed, the total aerobic and lactic acid bacteria concentrations in the kimchi starter with added Lb. sakei 1 were the same as in the control low-sodium kimchi. The low-sodium kimchi fermentation of the kimchi starter with added Lb. palntarum progressed differently due to a difference in acid resistance. The kimchi starter with added Lb. sakei 2 had an overall liking score that was slightly higher than that of the control low-sodium kimchi due to a lower off-flavor.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of fermentation on biological activity of Chelidonium majus var asiaticum and to screen effective starter culture strains. Antibacterial activity against to Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella gallinarum and antioxidant activity as free radical scavenging activity by using DPPH were tested. Total six starter culture strains, two of Lactobacillus brevis, one of Lactobacillus plantarum and three of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were used. Plant extract was prepared after fermentation by using ethanol. All strains showed normal growth in viable cell counts of fermented cultures and L. plantarum showed the highest cell growth significantly (p<0.05). In antibacterial activities of extracts, the activity was found only in the extract from the fermentation using L. plantarum. In antioxidant activity, the highest activity was shown in the fermentation using L. plantarum significantly (P<0.05). Newly produced spots in two of three elution systems on TLC-DPPH test were detected in the fermentation using L. plantarum.
