본 연구는 지방을 비교적 많이 함유하는 발효소시지의 지방을 감소시키기 위해 대두단백질을 지방대체제로 이용하여 발효소시지를 제조하였으며, starter culture로는 상업화된 유산균주인 LK30 plus 균주를 대조구로 하여 콜레스테롤 저하와 항고혈압활성 및 S. aureus에 대한 항균력을 갖는 기능성 유산균주를 복합 starter culture로 접종하여 숙성기간동안 제품의 이화학적, 조직학적, 미생물적 특성과 콜레스테롤 저하 및 항고혈압 활성과 S. aureus의 균수의 변화를 통해 항균활성을 평가하였다. 지방을 첨가하지 않는 저지방 발효소시지는 기존의 고지방 발효소시지에 비해 약 90% 이상의 지방을 감소시켰고, 숙성시간을 약 7-14일 정도 단축시킬 수 있었나, 저지방 발효소시지에서 나타나는 지나친 감량에 의한 외관의 주름 및 경도의 증가가 나타났다. 발효소시지들의 일반성분 검사 결과, 숙성시간이 경과됨에 따라 수분은 감소하는데 반해, 지방과 단백질의 함량은 상대적으로 증가하였으며, 제품의 pH는 발효기간 동안 감소되어졌다가 숙성기간동안 유지되는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 숙성 중 명도는 감소하고, 전단력과 무게감량은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 콜레스테롤 저하와 항고혈압 활성 및 S. aureus에 대한 항균활성과 같은 기능성은 발효소시지내에서는 뚜렷한 효과를 보이지 않았다. '따라서 저지방 발효소시지에서 나타나는 과다한 주름을 방지하기 위하여 일정함량의 지방첨가와 probiotic 유산균 주가 함유하는 기능성이 발효 육제품에도 나타날 수 있도록 하는 보다 심도 있는 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: Samjung-hwan (SJH), a well-known traditional fermented herb formula recorded in Dongui Bogam, has been commonly used for prolonging life for four hundred years in Eastern Asia. However, fermented SJH has not been investigated in terms of microbial ecology until present time. Methods: SJH was fermented for five weeks and fermentation characteristics during SJH fermentation were performed including pH, acidity and microbial profiling. Also, we measured total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents and 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity. In order to select starter candidate, several lactic acid bacteria were isolated from fermented SJH. Results: pH of fermented SJH was decreased from 4.7 to 3.0 and acidity was increased from 0.45% to 1.72%. Also, fermented SJH increased antioxidant indicator such as total polyphenol and total flavonoid as well as DPPH free radical scavenging activity. Lactobacillus brevis was increased, Pseudanabaena sp. was decreased, and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis was stable during 5-week fermentation of SJH. L. brevis and L. plantarum were isolated from fermented SJH. Conclusions: Fermented SJH for four weeks had optimal effect on antioxidant and fermentation characteristics such as pH, acidity and microbial profile. Further studies are required to develop starter and analyze functional compounds in oder to produce standardized SJH.

The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of the application of kimchi LAB as starter culture in the production of fermented sausages. For this, the solid-state model media composed to simulate the substantial conditions of meat mixtures were fermented for 120 h after the treatment with different concentrations of kimchi (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 3.0, and 5.0%) and lyophilized kimchi-powder (0.2 % and 0.5%). During the fermentation period, the growth of total viable cells and LAB, and the changes of pH and titratable acidity were investigated. The initial LAB counts ranged from 7.18 to 8.34 Log CFU/ mL for kimchi media and from 6.93 to 6.94 Log CFU/mL for kimchi-powder media depending on the added concentrations. The kimchi LAB in this study were not influenced by the immobilized condition for their adaptation and growth by showing no lag phase and thus acted similar as in the submerged medium. The initially increased counts reached around 9 Log CFU/ mL in 12 h independent of the concentrations of a ded kimchi. However, the growth and metabolic activity of kimchi-powder LAB were influenced by the immobilized condition. Supposedly, as the nutrient supply in solid-state depended solely on diffusion, these differences in the souring properties were caused by the LAB topography in the medium matrix. Nevertheless, the differences in the numbers of LAB between two media were less than 0.5 Log units and the pH drop in the solidstate batches was quite rapid and reached low values. Therefore, it can be assumed that kimchi and kimchi-powder LAB showed the utility as the substitute of commercial starter culture even without a rehydrating pretreatment.

Microorganisms involved in food fermentation not only improve the aroma and taste of the food, but also enhance its preservation. Thus, they are added as starter cultures to boost the final product quality of commercial fermented foods. Although these microorganisms originate from fermented foods and have a long history of consumption, the European Union recently applied the concept of Qualified presumption of Safety (QPS), which is a safety evaluation system for microorganisms used in food or feed in Europe. The QPS system is a species-level safety system and shares results with the European Novel Food System, a strain-level safety evaluation system. In the United States, microorganisms added to fermented foods are considered as food additives or Generally Recognized as Safe substance. In Korea, food microbe lists are presented at the species level. Moreover, the nation has established a strain-oriented evaluation system that applies temporary safety evaluation methods for food raw materials as well as new raw materials. However, when it comes to microorganisms isolated from traditional fermented foods and other fermented food products, there is no definition of the term "species," and there is a lack of an evaluation system at the species level. Therefore, such an evaluation system for microbial species used in Korean fermented foods is necessary.

The purpose of this study is to establish a rapid preparation method of Dongchimi-juice having favor-able flavor and high antibacterial activity against undesirable bacteria in Naengmyon-broth by using high antibacterial strains of lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus homohiochii B21 and leuconostoc mesenteroid-es subsp. mesenteroides C16 as Dongchimi starter. When the two strains of lactic acid bacteria were used as starter mixed culture was better than single culture in acid production and antibacterial activity. When starter was not inoculated in Dongchimi fermentation the numbers of Gram negatives and colifor-ms were remarkably increased in early phase and antibacterial activity could scarcely be detected. But when starter was inoculated the numbers of Gram negatives and coliforms were sharply decreased from early phase and antibacterial ctivity was high. When Dongchimi was made with heat sterilized mat-erials and starter there were no Gram negatives and coliforms and antibacterial activity was high. The antibacterial activity of starter inoculated Dongchimi was maximum in 2 days of fermentation at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and was scarcely detected in six days. In consideration of coliform counts antibacterial activity and the flavor of Dongchimi the preparation method in which all materials were heat treated at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 15 min-utes and inoculated with mixed starter of the two strains and fermented for 2 days at 2$0^{\circ}C$ was thoug-ht to be good.

This study focused on understanding the effects of yeast and mold on the sensory properties of dry-cured ham aged at 20℃ and 25℃. Debaryomyces hansenii isolated from Doenjang and fermented sausages, and Penicillium nalgiovense isolated from fermented sausages were utilized. The CIE a^* tended to increase in all treatments as the aging period increased. At 6 weeks of aging, DFD25 showed a significantly higher CIE a^* value than other treatments. The shear force tended to increase in all treatments as the aging period increased. At 6 weeks of aging, among the treatments aged at 25℃, DFD25 showed a low tendency to shear force. The PC1 of the electronic nose was 42.872%. At 25℃, the hexane content was higher and levels of ethanol, propan-2-one, 2,4,5-trimethylthiazole, and limonene were lower than that at 20℃. DFD25 showed significantly higher hexane content and significantly lower limonene content than other treatments. The PC1 of the electronic tongue was 84.529%. All treatments, except for the C starter, exhibited higher salt and lower sour levels at 25℃ compared to 20℃ when the same starter was used. The DFD25 showed the lowest sour taste and a higher tendency of umami than the other treatments. Sensory evaluation revealed that DFD25 had significantly higher scores for texture than C25, whereas no significant differences were observed in other aspects. Therefore, the used starters are considered suitable for aging at 25℃; among them, the DFD starter demonstrates superior qualities and enhanced commercial potential compared to the control.

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.

Synthesis of oligosaccharides during milk fermentation was attempted by inoculating Leuconostoc citreum with Lactobacillus casei, Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, and Streptococcus thermophilus as starters. Dextransucrase of Ln. citreum worked as a catalyst for the transglycosylation reaction of sugars; sucrose was added as the glucose donor, and lactose or maltose acted as the acceptor compound for the reaction. When 4% sucrose was added in milk, glucosyl-lactose was synthesized (about 1%, w/v) after 1-2 days of fermentation at 15 or $25^{\circ}C$. Alternatively, when sucrose and maltose (2% each, w/v) were added, panose (about 1 %, w/v) and other isomaltooligosaccharides were made in a day at $15-35^{\circ}C$. Growth patterns of lactobacilli and streptococci starters were not affected by the coculture of leuconostoc starter, but the rate of acid synthesis was slightly slowed at every temperature. Addition of sugars in milk did not give any adverse effect on the lactate fermentation. Accordingly, the use of leuconostoc starter and addition of sugars in milk allowed the production of oligosaccharides-containing fermented milk, and application of this method will facilitate the extensive development of synbiotic lactate foods.

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.
