Changes in antioxidative activity and Angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitory activity in juice prepared from Dolsan leaf mustard kimchi (DLMK) ar various fermentation temperatures were investigated. Antioxidative activity of juice from optimally ripened DLMK at 20 and 3$0^{\circ}C$ showed 80 and 83%, respectively. Juice from 10-day fermented DLMK at 3$0^{\circ}C$ showed 62% inhibitory activity against the ACE. In the juice fermented DLMK at 2$0^{\circ}C$~3$0^{\circ}C$, physiological activity was higher than that of the 4~1$0^{\circ}C$. In particular, optimally ripened DLMK at 3$0^{\circ}C$ showed the highest physiological activity. The physiological activity in DLMK juice at the fermentation period increased significantly with an increase in the growth of microbes. Consequently, a maximum physiological activity was shown at the maximum cell number. These results suggest that the microorganisms in DLMK juice would play an important role in the physiological activity.

This study was carried out to develop a fermented juice using persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb) and lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, Lactobacillus buchneri BK-1, Pediococcus inopinatus BK-3 and Leuconostoc mesenteroides M-17. The total acidity value was 0.75% and viable cell number reached $1.9{\times}10^8CFU/mL$ when the persimmon and water solution was diluted by 1:3 (w/v) added with rice-syrup ($15^{\circ}Brix$) that was fermented by Lactobacillus buchneri BK-1 for 7 days. Additional levels of rice-syrup increased the total acidity of fermented juice, and the overall acceptability was the highest (4.1 point) for fermented persimmon juice added with rice-syrup $10^{\circ}Brix$. L. buchneri BK-1 and Pediococcus inopinatus BK-3 were selected to ferment the persimmon juice because there total acidity values were 0.83% and 0.80%, respectively, and the final cell concentrations, $5.1{\times}10^8$ and $2.7{\times}10^8CFU/mL$, were more than other treatment, respectively. The total acidity value of persimmon at day 3 of fermented broth were significantly higher than that of day 7 of fermented broth, and the number of viable cell declined from $8.2{\times}10^8$ to $4.3{\times}10^8CFU/mL$. In these results, the suitable period for fermentation was 4~5 days owing to the sourness being strong during fermentation.

With the steady growth in the scale of the domestic traditional liquor industry, the interest in makgeolli has also been increasing. As the demand for makgeolli increases, interest in manufacturing differentiated makgeolli by adding additional raw materials such as fruits is increasing. In this study, makgeolli with low storage persimmon juice was manufactured, and the sweet taste of persimmon was imparted without adding sweeteners. Unsweetened, high-quality persimmon makgeolli with an alcohol content of 15% or more was manufactured and its quality characteristics were analyzed. Yeast was selected after producing fermented yeast by treating domestic isolated yeast and commercial yeast. Upon producing fermented yeast, persimmon makgeolli was manufactured by varying the amount of persimmon juice added to the fermented yeast. As a result of analyzing the quality characteristics of persimmon makgeolli, the pH was 4.02-4.25, the total acid (citric acid, %) was 0.30-0.43, the amino acidity (glycine, %) range was 0.05-0.15, and the alcohol content (%) was 15.64-18.48.(p<0.05). Reducing sugar (%) was 1.82-12.68 and total sugar (%) was 1.41-10.42, exhibiting a tendency to increase as the amount of reducing sugar and total sugar and the amount of juice added increased (p<0.05). Considering the sensory characteristics, a sample with 50% persimmon juice added showed a significantly higher residual sugar content, and the residual sugar content had a positive effect on the sensory characteristics. Therefore, 50% persimmon juice was added when making persimmon makgeolli. It is suitable for high-quality, non-sweetened persimmon makgeolli that preserves the taste of persimmon, which suits the consumers'taste.

Fermented kale juices using four types of lactobacilli were produced in the present study. After 48 h of fermentation time, viable cell counts of all ferments reached an above $10^9CFU/mL$. The viability of the ferments after cold storage in the refrigerator for 4 weeks showed $10^8CFU/mL$ in all ferments. Among four types of fermented kale juices, the ferment of Lactobacillus acidophilus IFO 3025 indicated a good nutritional composition, including neutral sugar ($1,909.76{\mu}g/mL$), reducing sugar ($564.00{\mu}g/mL$, P<0.05), and protein contents ($160.06{\mu}g/mL$, P<0.05). The results of mineral composition analysis had the highest potassium value in all ferments ($854.16{\sim}895.07{\mu}g/mL$), particularly in the ferment of Lactobacillus brevis FSB-1 (P<0.001), which is necessary to sustain osmotic pressure, prevention of high blood pressure, and protein synthesis. Moreover, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium contents related to bone health were generally sufficient in all ferments. Consequently, in this study, fermented kale juices may be suggested as a healthy fermented beverage with essential nutrients. However, the acceptability of the fermented kale juice to the Korean taste should be further investigated with a trained taste panel to determine whether inoculated fermentation could be an option for the consumers.

To increase the added value of peaches and utilize overproduced peaches, it is necessary to develop peach raw materials in various forms. In this study, usefulness of juice as raw material for vinegar was investigated by comparing and analyzing the characteristics of the traditional fermented vinegar prepared with 4 types of juice (fresh, refrigerated, boiled and frozen puree). Sugar content (6.20~6.50°Brix), total acidity (5.25~5.61%), pH (3.42~3.74), and acetic acid content (48.81~54.29 mg/mL) of the vinegar were all similar to existing traditional fermented vinegar. However, contents of total phenol and flavonoid were higher in vinegar prepared from refrigerated and boiled juice. Therefore, it was confirmed that boiled and refrigerated juice are very suitable as raw materials for traditional fermented peach vinegar, in particular, it was confirmed that boiled juice with a high content of total phenol and flavonoid can be used as a high value-added functional material. These results are considered to be important guidelines for developing high value-added raw materials for peaches.

We investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of yogurt supplemented with 1%, 2%, and 3% aronia juice and fermented for 24 h at $37^{\circ}C$. The total acidity increased with increasing levels of aronia juice and incubation time. Lightness and yellowness of the yogurt decreased, but redness increased, with increasing aronia juice content and incubation time. The number of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) increased with increased incubation time, and yogurt containing 2% and 3% aronia juice showed higher LAB counts than 1% aroinia juice-supplemented yogurt. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents increased proportionally with increasing levels of aronia juice. Antioxidant activity of aronia-containing yogurt was significantly higher than that of the control and increased proportionally with aronia juice concentration. Yogurt with 2% aronia juice had the best taste (P<0.05). Aronia juice may be a useful additive for improving the taste and antioxidant potential of yogurt.

The starters, 0.3% of Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus fermentum, were added in radish juice to process the radish juice by single and mixed cultures. The radish Juice was fermented for 7 days at 25$^{\circ}C$, 20 days at 15$^{\circ}C$, and 36 days at 5$^{\circ}C$. When fermented at 25$^{\circ}C$, the number of lactic acid bacteria in the juice made with mixed culture was higher than that of the single culture. But, juice fermented at low temperatures (15∼5$^{\circ}C$), the addition of starters was not effective, although there were some differences by inoculation strains. Although there was a little differences by inoculation strains, the content of nonvolatile organic acid and L-ascorbic acid were found more in the juice inoculated with lactic acid bacteria than the juice not inoculated. When the single and mixed cultures at the optimal maturity were tested, the significant difference was found at 5% level except the yeasty and moldy smell and the unripe taste. According to the preference test, the mixed-cultured radish juice incubated at 25$^{\circ}C$with Lactobacillus brevis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were evaluated superior to commercial Dongchimi. As a result, taste and quality of radish juice was improved by addition of starters.

Lactic acid bacteria KL 1, KD 6, KL 4 strains isolated from kimchi, or obtained Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides with and without yeast(Saccharomyces cerevisiae) were inoculated in fruit vegetable juice for mixed culture fermentation 3 days at 3$0^{\circ}C$, and then their chemical changes were studied during fermentation. The amount of organic acid produced by the mixed culture fermentation of KL 1 and yeast was 0.82%(3 days) or 0.58%(1 day) and with the final pH of 3.3(3 days) or 4.2(1 day). These mixed culture systems of isolated strains or other bacterial strains had almost similar results of growth rate and acid production. The contents of vitamin C and carotene were retained and stabilized as 70~80% level of their initial values after 24 hrs fermentation. And also ethanol was produced as of the range in 9.6mg%(W/V) by the mixed culture fermentation of KL 1 and yeast, however, the content of ethanol in single culture fermentation by KL 1 strain was much lower than that of mixed culture. The major components of organic acids in fermented juice by mixed culture were considered as malic(26.0%), lactic(49.9%), succinic and citric acid, whereas these of unfermented juice were malic(53.2%), citric and other acids. On other hand, reducing sugar was decreased from 18.3mg/ml in fresh juice to about 12mg/ml in juice by mixed culture fermentation. Concentrations of fructose, glucose and sucrose were also greatly reduced in fermented juice.
