This study was conducted to observe the quality characteristics of cheonggukjang fermented with new small-seed soybeans ('Agakong') according to the degree of germination of the raw soybeans. The sprouting rate was $8.6{\pm}5.6%$ after 12 hr of germination, but at 24 hr it increased rapidly to $85.4{\pm}4.7%$. We confirmed that the total isoflavone content immediately after soaking was 273.9 mg%, which was at least 3 times greater than for common soybeans; content increased at the start of germination, and increased to 338.4 mg% by 24 hr of germination, but then decreased. The quantity of viscous substance of the cheonggukjang increased in proportion to the degree of germination of the raw soybeans. The levels of amino acids in the cheonggukjang made from non-germinated soybeans, and soybeans germinated 48 hr, were 12.45 and 10.06%, respectively. The isoflavone levels in the cheonggukjang were determined by the degree of germination of the raw soybeans. There were no significant differences between the odor, sweet taste, savory taste, bitter taste, and overall acceptability of the cheonggukjang with different germination times of 0 to 36 hr.

The purpose of this study is to examine the Western perspective on the food and food culture of Modern Times in Korea (from the late of Joseon Dynasty until Japanese colonial era). Literature and written records were analyzed. This analysis revealed that the heart of the mill in this period involved rice, and that a common beverage was sungnyung made from boiled scorched rice (in contrast to tea as the common beverage in Japan or China). The most important subsidiary food in Joseon was vegetables, especially Kimchi. Westerners viewed Kimchi as a smell symbolizing Joseon and their meal times. Even though both Kimchi and cheese are fermented food, just like Westerners could not stand the smell of Kimchi, Koreans viewed the smell of cheese unpleasant. Westerners viewed German sauerkraut as Western food counterpart to Kimchi, as sauerkraut is also fermented food made of cabbage. Regarding the eating of dog meat in Joseon, most Westerners viewed it as brutal; however some interpreted it as a difference in food culture. In addition, the eating of raw fish and its intestines felt crude to Westerners. The biggest difference between Joseon's food and Western food was that Joseon had no dairy products and no sugar. The most highly preferred fruit for Westerners was the persimmon, and ginseng was already widely recognized and recorded as a medicinal plant. Joseon's desserts were also favorably evaluated. In contrast, the excessive gluttony, heavy drinking, and unsanitary conditions in Joseon were problems pointed out in many records.

In order to test the functionality of Panax ginseng thioredoxin 1 (PgTRX1) isolated from fermented wild ginseng roots, a transient effect on physiological activity were performed over a short time frame using the Agrobacterium infiltration technique. The PgTRX1 gene isolated from fermented wild ginseng was confirmed to have a size of 579 bp, and the expression of PgTRX1 was the highest in the sample after 6 h of fermentation. As a result of constructing this gene and confirming the infiltration reaction mediated by Agrobacterium in tobacco leaves, it was found that the expression of the NbHSR203j gene was also induced as PgTRX1 expression increased. As a result of measuring the biological activity of the infiltration samples, the total phenol content increased by 35.45±1.84 to 49.01±1.84 ㎍ GAE/mL compared to the control, and the total flavonoid amount of 9.52±0.41 to 9.82±0.25 ㎍ QE/mL was slightly high. From these results, Agrobacterium-mediated PgTRX1 appears to be related to the hypersensitive response induction mechanism of plants and the production of secondary metabolites such as phenolic substances.

본 연구에서는 약초 당침 추출액의 발효특성을 분석하고 관능적 특성을 개선할 수 있는 적정 발효조건을 도출하여 유산균 발효 약초음료 개발에 응용하고자 하였다. 설탕을 이용하여 1년 숙성, 추출한 개똥쑥, 어성초 및 삼백초 당침액($50{\pm}5^{\circ}Bx$)을 10, 15 및 $20^{\circ}Bx$로 희석한 후 김치로부터 분리한 L. plantarum DK119 ($5{\times}10^9CFU/mL$)를 2% (v/v) 접종하고 $37^{\circ}C$에서 4일 동안 발효하면서 유산균 수, pH, 적정산도 및 환원당 함량 변화를 분석한 결과 개똥쑥은 $20^{\circ}Bx$, 어성초는 $10^{\circ}Bx$, 그리고 삼백초는 $15^{\circ}Bx$가 발효 가능한 농도로 나타났다. 즉, 희석농도와 접종 유산균 수가 유사한 조건에서도 사용한 약초 종류에 따라 발효특성에 차이가 있음을 알 수 있다. 발효 기간 중 개똥쑥, 어성초 및 삼백초 희석액의 총폴리페놀 함량은 모든 희석액에서 변화가 없는 반면 DPPH radical 제거능과 환원력(FRAP)은 발효 2일에 유의적 증가를 보여 발효 중 항산화 활성에 영향을 미치는 발효 산물이 생성되는 것으로 추정된다. 관능검사 결과, 발효 전 당침액에서 나는 특유의 불쾌한 약초 맛이 발효 1일부터 감소하고 종합적 기호도가 발효 2-3일에 높아져 L. plantarum DK119를 이용한 유산균 발효는 약초 당침액의 항산화 활성을 증가시키고 관능적 품질특성을 개선시켜 약초 추출물을 이용한 건강 음료 개발에 응용 가능한 것으로 사료된다.

생체 내 실험에서 발효 인삼꽃 추출물(FM), 발효하지 않은 인삼꽃 추출물(FD)과 대조군으로 생리식염수를 2주간 마우스 체중 kg 당 100, 200 mg/kg B.W.의 농도로 마우스에 경구 투여한 후 LPS에 의해 활성화된 복강 대식세포가 분비하는 염증성 사이토카인 IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$의 생성량을 측정하였다. 그 결과, IL-6는 발효 LPS로 자극한 경우, 두 가지 농도에서 모두 처리한 군에 비해 높은 증식능을 나타내었고, LPS로 자극한 결과, 특히 발효 인삼꽃 추출물 200 mg/kg B.W. 농도에서 유의적으로 낮은 IL-6 분비량을 보였다. TNF-${\alpha}$의 경우, 100 mg/kg B.W.와 200 mg/kg B.W. 두 농도 모두에서 LPS로 자극하지 않은 경우, 낮은 증식 효과를 보여주었고, 자극한 경우, 인삼꽃 시료를 첨가한 군이 대조군보다 낮은 TNF-${\alpha}$ 분비량을 보였으며, FM에서 FD보다 더 TNF-${\alpha}$를 억제하는 효과가 큰 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이상의 결과에 따르면 FD의 사이토카인 IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$ 생성 효과는 200 mg/kg B.W. 농도 투여 시 효과적으로 면역 세포와 면역 기관의 주요 기능을 증진시킬 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료된다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 앞으로 인삼꽃 발효를 이용한 기능성 사료 개발과 더불어 산업적 측면에서 보다 긍정적인 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Complex microbial communities play an important role in the human health and co-evolved with human in the form of symbiosis. Many literatures provide new evidences that the increased prevalence of obesity cannot be attributed solely to changes in the human genome, nutritional habits, or reduction of physical activity in our daily lives. The intestinal flora was recently proposed as an environmental factor responsible for the control of body weight and energy metabolism. A number of studies suggest that the modulation of gut microbiota affects host metabolism and has an impact on energy storage and demonstrated a role for the gut microbiota in weight gain, fat increase, and insulin resistance. Variations in microbiota composition are found in obese humans and mice and the microbiota from an obese mouse confers an obese phenotype when transferred to an axenic mouse. As well, the gut microbial flora plays a role in converting nutrients into calories. Specific strategies for modifying gut microbiota may be a useful means to treat or prevent obesity. Dietary modulations of gut microbiota with a view to increasing bifidobacteria have demonstrated to reduce endotoxemia and improve metabolic diseases such as obesity. The fermentation of medicinal herbs is intended to exert a favorable influence on digestability, bioavailability and pharmacological activity of herbal extract. Therefore we also expect that the fermented herbal extracts may open up a new area to treat obesity through modulating gut microbiota.

Ganoderma lucidum has been traditionally used as a medicine for treatment of bronchitis, arthritis, and high blood pressure, and it has been reported to display many biological activities including anticancer and immune activities. Since mushroom mycelium is known to have excellent biological activities together with mushroom fruiting body, studies on biological activities of mushroom mycelium have been actively conducted. Thus, the present study compared the biological activities before and after the cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum mycelium on Atractylodes rhizoma. When the radical scavenging activity was assessed by the DPPH assay, ARGL (ethanol extract of Atractylodes rhizoma mycelium fermented with Ganoderma lucidum) showed radical scavenging activity of 5.58~82.56% at concentrations of $10{\sim}500{\mu}g/assay$, while AR (ethanol extract of Atractylodes rhizoma) showed radical scavenging activity of 5.27~72.08% at the same concentrations. When measured by using the ABTS assay, ARGL showed higher radical scavenging activity than AR, which was consistent with the result obtained by the DPPH assay. In the MTT assay, the cytotoxicity of ARGL against all cell lines was higher than that of AR. In particular, the cytotoxicities of AR and ARGL against Hep3B at a concentration of $400{\mu}g/assay$ were 71.81% and 86.40%, respectively. In addition, the result obtained by the SRB assay was consistent with the result obtained by the MTT assay. According to the results mentioned above, there is a high probability that medicinal herb cultures using mycelium can be used as sources of functional foods since the cytotoxicities against cancer cells and antioxidant activities increased when the mycelium was fermented with Atractylodes rhizoma.
