Addition of probiotics to yogurt with desired health benefits is gaining increasing attention. To further understand the effect of probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum on the quality and function of fermented milk, probiotic fermented milk (PFM) made with probiotic L. plantarum K25 and yogurt starter (L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus) was compared with the control fermented milk (FM) made with only the yogurt starter. The probiotic strain was shown to survive well with a viable count of 7.1 ± 0.1 log CFU/g in the PFM sample after 21 days of storage at 4℃. The strain was shown to promote formation of volatiles such as acetoin and 2,3-butanediol with milk fragrance, and it did not cause post-acidification during refrigerated storage. Metabolomics analysis by GC-MS datasets coupled with multivariate statistical analysis showed that addition of L. plantarum K25 increased formation of over 20 metabolites detected in fermented milk, among which γ-aminobutyric acid was the most prominent. Together with several other metabolites with relatively high levels in fermented milk such as glyceric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, glycine, alanine, ribose, and 1,3-dihydroxyacetone, they might play important roles in the probiotic function of L. plantarum K25. Further assay of the bioactivity of the PFM sample showed significant (p < 0.05) increase of ACE inhibitory activity from 22.3% at day 1 to 49.3% at day 21 of the refrigerated storage. Therefore, probiotic L. plantarum K25 could be explored for potential application in functional dairy products.

Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize the exopolysaccharides (EPS)-producing lactic acid bacteria from Taiwanese ropy fermented milk (TRFM) for developing a clean label low-fat fermented milk. Methods: Potential isolates from TRFM were selected based on the Gram staining test and observation of turbid suspension in the culture broth. Random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and API CHL 50 test were used for strain identification. After evaluation of EPS concentration, target strains were introduced to low-fat milk fermentation for 24 h. Fermentation characters were checked: pH value, acidity, viable count, syneresis, and viscosity. Sensory evaluation of fermented products was carried out by 30 volunteers, while the storage test was performed for 21 days at 4℃. Results: Two EPS-producing strains (APL15 and APL16) were isolated from TRFM and identified as Lactococcus (Lc.) lactis subsp. cremoris. Their EPS concentrations in glucose and lactose media were higher than other published strains of Lc. lactis subsp. cremoris. Low-fat fermented milk separately prepared with APL15 and APL16 reached pH 4.3 and acidity 0.8% with a viable count of 9 log colony-forming units/mL. The physical properties of both products were superior to the control yogurt, showing significant improvements in syneresis and viscosity (p<0.05). Our low-fat products had appropriate sensory scores in appearance and texture according to sensory evaluation. Although decreasing viable cells of strains during the 21-day storage test, low-fat fermented milk made by APL15 exhibited stable physicochemical properties, including pH value, acidity, syneresis and sufficient viable cells throughout the storage period. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that Lc. lactis subsp. cremoris APL15 isolated from TRFM had good fermentation abilities to produce low-fat fermented milk. These data indicate that EPS-producing lactic acid bacteria have great potential to act as natural food stabilizers for low-fat fermented milk.

본 연구는 상업유산균인 단일 균주와 복합 균주를 이용한 산양유의 발효형태와 저장 중 풍미변화를 조사한 결과가 있다. 복합 균주는 단일 균주보다 단시간에 있어서 낮은 pH와 높은 산도를 나타내었다. 또한 복합 균주에서는 유산균 수의 증식 속도도 빠르게 나타내었다. 관능검사는 패널의 숙련도에 따라 느끼는 맛이 다르다. 따라서 수많은 시료를 분석할 경우, 재현성이 있는 객관적인 데이터를 얻기 어려운 단점이 있다. 더욱이 우리는 미각센서를 이용하여 저장 중 풍미변화를 측정하였다. 미각센서는 단일 균주와 복합 균주를 이용한 산양발효유에 대하여 사용 균주별 다양한 풍미의 변화가 측정 가능하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내에서 처음으로 발효유에 있어서 미각센서를 이용하여 저온 저장기간 동안 맛 성분의 변화를 측정한 자료로 있다. 이러한 결과는 차후 유제품의 소비기한 유지에 대한 자료로서 이용가치가 크게 기대되고 있다.

Background: This study was conducted to examine the quality and storage characteristics of yogurt containing antifungal-active lactic acid bacteria (ALH, Lacobacillus sakei ALI033) isolated from kimchi and cinnamon ethanol extract. The starter was used for culture inoculation (1.0 % commercial starter culture YF-L812 and ALH). Results: The antifungal activity of cinnamon extracts was observed in treatments with either cinnamon ethanol extracts or cinnamon methanol extracts. Changes in fermented milk made with ALH and cinnamon extract during fermentation at $40^{\circ}C$ were as follows. The pH was 4.6 after only 6 h of fermentation. Titratable acidity values were maintained at 0.8 % in all treatment groups. Viable cell counts were maintained at $4{\times}10^9CFU/mL$ in all groups except for 1.00 % cinnamon treatment. Sensory evaluations of fermented milk sample made with ALH and 0.05 % cinnamon ethanol extract were the highest. Changes in fermented milk made with ALH and cinnamon ethanol extract during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 28 days were as follows. In fermented milk containing ALH and cinnamon ethanol extracts, the changes in pH and titratable acidity were moderate and smaller compared with those of the control. Viable cell counts were maintained within a proper range of $10^8CFU/mL$. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the overgrowth of fermentation strains or post acidification during storage can be effectively delayed, thereby maintaining the storage quality of yogurt products in a stable way, using cinnamon ethanol extract, which exhibits excellent antifungal and antibacterial activity, in combination with lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Bifidobacteria growth promoter BE0623 and a dietary fiber supplement, which included Bifidobacterium lactis BB12, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus thermophilus, and Bifidobacterium lactis. In fermented milk containing BE0623, the viable cell count of Bifidobacteria significantly increased by about 45 to 75 times compared to the control, and the titratable acidity increased, whereas the pH decreased. All fractions obtained by isolating BE0623 had Bifidobacteria growth effect. Acacia dietary fiber is a pale yellow powder. It has a viscosity of 60 to 100 cPs and a pH between 4.1 and 5.0. Its general components are less than 10% moisture, more than 90% dietary fiber, and less than 4% ash. The optimal addition ratio of Bifidobacteria growth promoting material was determined to be 0.05%. The general components of the manufactured fermented milk were carbohydrate 17.85%, protein 3.63%, fat 3.00%, and dietary fiber 2.95%. During storage of the fermented milk for 24 days, its titratable acidity, viscosity, and sugar content all met the criteria. In addition, the viable cell counts of Bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria in the fermented milk were 1.7 × 10⁸ CFU·mL^-1 and 1.5 × 10⁷ CFU·mL^-1, respectively, and Escherichia coli was negative. There was no significant difference between the control group and the treatment group in the sensory evaluation of sweet, sour, weight, and flavor, and the preference for the treatment group was excellent. The acceptability of the fermented milk of the treated group according to the storage period was excellent in terms of color, flavor, and appearance.

Fish oil consists of omega-3 fatty acids which play an important role in human health. Its susceptibility to oxidation causes considerable degradation during the processing and storage of food products. Accordingly, encapsulation of this ingredient through freeze drying was studied with the aim of protecting it against environmental conditions. Gum arabic (GA) was used as the wall material for fish oil nanoencapsulation where tween 80 was applied as the emulsifier. A water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion was prepared by sonication, containing 6% fish oil dispersed in aqueous solutions including 20% and 25% total wall material. The emulsion was sonicated at 24 kHz for 120 s. The emulsion was then freeze-dried and the nanocapsules were incorporated into probiotic fermented milk, with the effects of nanocapsules examined on the milk. The results showed that the nanoparticles encapsulated with 25% gum arabic and 4% emulsifier had the highest encapsulation efficiency (EE) (87.17%) and the lowest surface oil (31.66 mg/100 kg). Using nanoencapsulated fish oil in fermented milk significantly (p<0.05) increased the viability of Lactobacillus plantarum as well as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contents. The fermented milk sample containing fish oil nanoencapsulated with 25% wall material and 4% emulsifier yielded the greatest probiotic bacterial count (8.41 Log CFU/mL) and the lowest peroxide value (0.57 mEq/kg). Moreover, this sample had the highest EPA and DHA contents. Utilizing this nanoencapsulated fish oil did not adversely affect fermented milk overall acceptance. Therefore, it can be used for fortification of low fat probiotic fermented milk.

Growth promoters were added to skim milk to retain the viability of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum to help the product meet the "therapeutic minimum" at the time of consumption. The experiments were divided into two parts. The first part of the study used chicory inulin, isomalto-oligosaccharides and sucrose to investigate the effects of sugars on the activity of L. acidophilus and B. longum. The results indicated that the addition of isomalto-oligosaccharides stimulated growth of L. acidophilus and B. longum, resulting in a higher level of the probiotics after one month storage and yielded better $\beta$-galactosidase activity during fermentation. The second part studied the effects of three growth promoters on the viability of the probiotic cultures and the response surface method was employed to find the optimal ratio for addition of the growth promoters. The optimal ratio for added calcium gluconate, sodium gluconate and N-acetylglucosamine in fermented milk drinks were established. The response surface method proved to be a very effective way of optimizing the activity of probiotic cultures when developing a new fermented milk drink.

본 연구에서는 녹차가루의 첨가량을 0.5, 1, 2, 3%를 첨가한 발효유를 제조하고 이에 따른 품질특성, 항산화 활성 및 저장성을 평가하였다. 녹차가루를 첨가한 발효유에서 발효가 진행될수록 pH는 낮아졌으나 대조군에 비해 첨가군에서 높은 값을 나타내었고 적정산도 역시 발효가 진행될수록 증가하였으나 녹차가루의 첨가량이 증가할수록 적정 산도는 높아지는 경향을 나타내었다. 시간이 지날수록 유산균 수는 증가하였으나 대조군에 비해 적었으며 당도는 낮아졌다. 색도의 경우 녹차가루의 첨가량이 증가할수록 L 값과 a 값은 낮아졌고 b값은 증가하였다. DPPH radical 소거능과 FRAP에 대한 항산화활성은 녹차가루의 첨가량이 증가할수록 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 발효가 완료된 발효유를 $4^{\circ}C$에서 30일간 저장한 결과, pH와 적정산도, 유산균 수 모두 적정 발효유의 범위 내에 속하였으며 색도는 녹차의 갈변에 의한 적색도 값이 증가하였으나 큰 변화는 없었다. 이러한 결과로 보아 발효유 제조 시 녹차가루의 첨가는 발효유의 발효 및 품질특성에 부정적인 영향을 미치지 않고 건강기능성을 향상시켜 새로운 기능성 발효유로써의 개발 가능성을 확인하였다.

노년층에 특화된 기능성 발효유를 개발하기 위하여 버섯 추출물이 첨가된 발효유 3종(상황, 영지, 표고)을 제조하여 품질특성과 항산화 활성을 비교하였다. pH는 발효시간이 경과함에 따라 버섯 추출물 첨가구에서 감소하였고, 적정산도와 유산균수 변화는 증가하였다. 일반성분 중에서 조단백질, 탄수화물 및 당류의 함량이 높았으며, 무기질 함량에서는 칼륨, 칼슘, 나트륨, 니켈, 망간 함량이 버섯 추출물 첨가구에서 증가하였다. 관능검사에서는 대체적으로 버섯 추출물을 첨가한 처리구가 대조구에 비하여 낮은 점수를 얻었지만, 표고 추출물 1% 첨가구의 경우 색, 향, 맛, 조직감, 전체 기호도의 모든 항목에서 가장 높은 기호도를 나타냈다. DPPH와 ABTS 라디칼 소거 활성을 측정하여 항산화 활성을 분석한 결과, 버섯 추출물 첨가구에서 항산화 활성이 매우 증가하였으며, 특히 영지 추출물이 첨가된 발효유의 항산화 효과가 가장 우수하였다. 또한 저장기간에 따른 버섯 발효유의 품질평가 결과, pH, 적정산도, 유산균수는 품질 변화에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 따라서 영양학적 및 기능적으로 우수한 새로운 기능성 발효유 개발이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
