This study was undertaken to examine the effects of fresh ginseng addition on the chemical and sensory properties of dongchimi juice fermented under various conditions. The contents of free sugars in dongchimi juice during fermentation increased at the initial stage, but decreased at the palatable stage and then increased again thereafter. Free sugars were higher in dongchlml juice with 4% of ginseng addition than with Soye ginseng and without ginseng addition. Analyses of organic acid contents showed that all three groups contained relatively high amounts of citric, lactic and malic acids. It was also found that, as fermentation progressed, the amounts of tactic and acetic acids in- creased, while that of malic acid decreased at the palatable stage and increased again thereafter. Total saponins were highest in dongchimi juice fermented at 4$^{\circ}C$ with 4% of ginseng addition and panax atrlol ginsenosldes were found more than panaxadiol ginsenosides in dongchimi juice The results of sensory evaluation revealed that dongchimi juice prepared with the addition of $4^{\circ}C$ and 4% ginseng was lower in sour taste and moldy off flavor than the control, thus scoring high In total acceptability. Dongchimi juice with 4% of ginseng addition was best in most sensory characteristics.

This study was performed to examine the physicochemical characteristics of Korean traditional fermented liquor added with citron juice and the levels (3, 6 and 9%) of citron (Citrus junos) juice during two-step-brewing. The pH of traditional Korean fermented liquor added with citron juice increased after 3 days of fermentation and then the pH values decreased from the sixth day. pH increased again at the end of fermentation. Total acidity increased after 5 days of fermentation until the sixth day, then decreased rapidly but increased slightly up to 12 days. Alcohol content increased to 12.76-14.32% after 12 days of fermentation. As the amount of added citron juice increased, alcohol content decreased. Amino acids increased after 12 days of fermentation. A sensory evaluation appearance, flavor, sourness, sweetness, bitterness and overall acceptance of Korean traditional fermented liquor added with 6% citron showed higher values than those of the control.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of fermented spinach derived nitrite and sodium nitrite on cured pork loin. Methods: The following treatments were prepared using brine (8% [w/v] salt): Control (-), no nitrite added; Control (+), 0.08% (w/v) sodium nitrite brine; T1, 0.04% (w/v) nitrite fermented spinach juice in 0.04% (w/v) sodium nitrite brine; T2, spinach juice in 0.04% (w/v) sodium nitrite brine; T3, 0.04% (w/v) nitrite fermented spinach juice used as sodium nitrite free brine; and T4, spinach juice used as sodium nitrite free brine. T2 and T4 were incubated to allow to reduce nitrate to nitrite. Results: Spinach juice did not affect cooking loss and pH but negatively influenced flavor and overall acceptability (p<0.05). T1 samples containing synthetic and natural nitrites showed the highest redness values. Spinach juice negatively affected volatile basic nitrogen; however, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance values of T1 and T3 were similar to those of controls (+) (p>0.05). Residual nitrite content decreased with decreasing synthetic nitrite levels. T1 and control samples showed no significant differences in overall acceptability (p>0.05). Conclusion: Thus, combined synthetic and natural nitrites improved the quality of cured pork loin.

Gel-type fermented milk was prepared from mixture of milk and apple juice or grape juice by fermentation with Lactobacillus acidophilus (KCTC 2182). Changes in volatile aroma compounds during 21 hr-lactic fermentation were studied. Diacetyl and acetoin, that were produced by L. acidophilus, were detected at 6 hr or 12 hr and showed peak values at 12 hr. Acetone and butanol, that were present originally in sample, decreased gradually during fermentation. Ethanol, that was either present originally in sample or produced by L. acidophilus, showed peak value at 18 hr in case of mixture of apple juice and milk. The concentration of ethanol was substantially high during whole period of fermentation in case of mixture of grape juice and milk though it showed peak value at 18 hr. Because the concentrations of ethanol in apple juice and ethanol and acetone in grape juice were relatively high, it might affect the results.

Eighty-four strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from Korean fermented foods for the production of fermented apple juice. Among these strains, the JBE245 strain that showed rapid growth and food functionality was selected and identified as Lactobacillus plantarum. This strain reached the stationary phase after 24 h fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$ with $1.5{\times}10^8$ colony forming unit (CFU)/mL of viable cells, and maintained its viability levels even after 14 days of storage. During fermentation, the ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activity (40.4%), total polyphenol content (583.6 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/mL), and 2,2-diphenyl-l-picryl-hydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (52%) were increased. As judged by a sensory test, the overall preference for the fermented juice (4.22) was comparable to that for the unfermented juice (4.72), indicating that fermentation does not significantly affect the sensory characteristics of apple juice. Consequently, the fermented beverage containing L. plantarum JBE245 and apple juice is a promising functional health food.

Fermented milk was prepared from milk or mixture of milk and apple juice/grape juice, and it was freeze dried. pH change and growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus (KCTC 2182) during freeze drying were studied. The effects of freeze drying on sensory evaluation and volatile aroma compounds in freeze dried sample or reconstituted sample were also studied. Freezing and freeze drying did not affect pH of fermented milk. Number of viable cells of L. acidophilus was markedly reduced during freezing or freeze drying. When number of viable cells in original fermented milk was considered as 100%, survival ratio of viable cells after freezing was $64.5{\sim}85.2%$ and that after freeze drying was $10.0{\sim}21.1%$. When sensory properties of original fermented milk prepared from juice-milk (ratio 15:35) were compared with those of freeze dried/reconstituted sample, sensory properties of original sample were better than those of freeze dried/reconstituted sample. Ethanol, diacetyl, butanol and acetoin were detected in all of original samples and freeze dried/reconstituted samples while acetone was detected in samples containing high amount of grape juice. Volatile aroma compounds in original fermented milk were reduced during freeze drying. L. acidophilus produced ethanol, diacetyl and acetoin during fermentation.

Juice of Dongchimi a Korean traditional vegetable food fermented with lactic acid bacteria has been traditionary used as broth for Naengmyon a Korean cold noodles with broth, This study was carried out to demonstrate the growth inhibition of two food poisoning bacteria Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylo-coccus aureus in Naengmyon-broth containing Dongchimi-juice fermented with high antibacterial lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus homohiochii B21 and Leuconostoc mesenteroides C16. Naengmyon-broths were made with beef broth and Dongchimi-juice femented with lactiv acid bacteria and the changes in viable cell counts of the inoculated food poisoning bacteria in Naengmyon-broths were investigated during stor-age at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 1$0^{\circ}C$. In Naengmyon-broth of 100% Dongchimi-juice stored at 2$0^{\circ}C$ the numbers of Sal-monella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus were rapidly decreased from 106CFU/ml to 106CFU/ml in 16 hours and 32 hours repectively. In Naengmyon-broth containing 10% Donchimi-juice the growths of the two food pois-oning bacteria were markedly inhibited compared with those in 100% beef broth though some growths were occurred in early phase. But in Naengmyon-broth of 100% beef broth their growths were very fast from early. Antibacterial activity of the Dongchimi-juice was more distinct at 2$0^{\circ}C$ that at 1$0^{\circ}C$ and was more active against Salmonella typhimurium than against Staphylococcus aureus.

Effective method for the preparation of Dongchimi juice was developed by addition of NaCi, sucrose and bydrolytic enzymes before fermentation and addition on Dongchimi juice during fermentation. The radish was ground and suspended in water(1:1, w/v) with addition of spices(garlic, green onion and ginger) followed by fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$. The addition of 2% NaCi and 0.5~2.0% sucrose resulted in significant increase of solid content and it was also improved by the addition of polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzyme during fermentation. When the fermented juices of pH 5.4 of 4.4 were added by 15% of total weight before(pH 5.4 juice)and during (pH 4.4 juice) fermentation, a significant increase in solid content after 24hrs of fermentation was resulted. The combined method of addition of 2% NaCI, 1.0% sucrode, 0.1% Viscozyme and 10% of fermented juice of pH 5.4 and 4.$ before and during fermentation improved solid content, reducing sugar, color and showed little effect on viscosity. The organoleptic characteristics were also improved by the combined method.

Effect of solvent extracts and juice supernatants from kimchis on the growth of various human cancer cells was studied, comparing with the actions on the normal cells. Inhibitory effect of kimchi extracts on[3H] thymidine incorporation n cancer cells was also investigated. The methanol extract, hexane extract and methanol soluble fraction (MSF) of 3-week fermented kimchi did not have growth inhibitory effect on Ac2F rat normal liver cells at the concentrations of 0.5~2%. However, marked decrease in the growth of AGS human gastric cancer cells was shown by the treatment of those extacts. The juice from the kimchi samples also suppressed the growth of K-562 human leukemia cells and MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells. Especially, the juice of 3-week fermented kimchi exhibited the strong growth inhibitory effect in MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells. At the photomicrographs, growth inhibition and morphological change of the cells treated with kimchi juice were observed. And the solvent extracts of 3-week fermented kimchi suppressed the growth of cancer morethan the extracts or juices from fresh and 6-week fermented kimchi. When AGS human gastric cancer cels were treated with the extracts of 3-week fermented kimchi, [3H] thymidine incorporation in the cells also decreased. These results showed that kimchi extracts and juices had growth inhibitory effects on human osteosarcoma, leukemia and gastric cancer cells, but had no toxicity to the normal cells. We suggest that kimchi might have anticancer effect in part due to inhibition of the growth and DNA synthesis of cancer cells.

This study was carried out to analyze the characteristics of Dongchimi(watery radish kimchi) juice while fermenting the samples prepared at various salt concentrations(2, 2.5, and 3 %) and fermentation temperatures(4$^{\circ}C$, 12$^{\circ}C$, and 12$^{\circ}C$ for 12 hr followed by 4$^{\circ}C$). The changes in colour, total vitamin C and free sugar contents were analyzed, and sensory evaluation was performed. As the fermentation proceeded, the “L” value was decreased and “a” and “b” values were increased in all samples. Total vitamin C contents increased up to 26-33 days and decreased thereafter in the samples fermented at 4$^{\circ}C$ and those fermented at 12$^{\circ}C$ followed by 4$^{\circ}C$. In Dongchimi fermented at 12$^{\circ}C$, vitamin C contents increased up to 12-15 days. Glucose, fructose and sucrose were detected in Dongchimi juice. The total content of free sugars in Dongchimi juice was the highest in the samples fermented at 12$^{\circ}C$ followed by 4$^{\circ}C$ . Sensory evaluation was performed for sour taste, salty taste, carbonated flavor, offensive odor, overall preference and clearance of the juice. In overall preference, Dongchimi juice fermented at 12$^{\circ}C$ followed by 4$^{\circ}C$ was the best.
