In this study, we investigated the effects of adding oat and lactic acid bacteria on the quality and functionality of yogurt. Yogurt was fermented with various lactic acid bacteria,; Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA), Lactobacillus delbrueckii sub. bulgaricus (LB), and Streptococcus thermophilussei (ST) and quality properties, β-glucan content, antioxidant activity were estimated. The quality of control and oat added yogurt (OY) showed significant differences depending on the type of strain and combination. The addition of oats significantly accelerated the lactic acid bacteria production, decreased the pH, and increased the titratable acidity and count of the viable cells compared to the control. Acid production was highest in ST, with the complex strains containing ST and LALBST showing high quality characteristics. The viscosity of oat yogurt was higher than that of the control group, and LALBST was also significantly higher than that of the control group. The β-glucan content of OY was 0.14-0.2%, and the organic acid content and antioxidant activity were also significantly increased by the addition of oats. As a result, it is thought that the addition of oats and a combination of lactic acid bacteria can be used for improving the quality and functionality of yogurt.

This study examined the laxative effects of mulberry leaf extract (MLE) fermented by lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which contains high levels of polyphenolic and flavonoid compounds, against loperamide-induced constipation in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a normal group (N) and three experimental groups; loperamide treated group (C), loperamide and LAB-fermented MLE 300 mg/kg treated group (MLEL), and loperamide and LAB-fermented MLE 600 mg/kg treated group (MLEH). After 33 d, fecal pellet amount, fecal weight, water content of fecal, gastrointestinal transit time and length, and serum lipid profiles were measured. Constipation was induced via subcutaneous injection of loperamide (2.0 mg/kg b. w., twice a day) for the final 5 d of the experiment. After loperamide administration, the LAB-fermented MLE groups showed a significantly increase in the fecal pellets number, wet weight, and water content in rats compared with the C group. Moreover, increases in the intestinal length and viable Lactobacillus numbers in the feces were observed in the LAB-fermented MLE groups. The intestinal transit time was shorter in the LAB-fermented MLE groups than in the C group. In addition, the LAB-fermented MLE groups showed a significant decrease in triglyceride and total cholesterol levels and an increase in HDL-cholesterol level. These results indicated that oral administration of LAB-fermented MLE shows laxative effect in loperamide-induced constipated rats.

Purpose: This study was designed to verify effects of perineal care with aroma essential oil on urinary tract infection(UTI) in patients with indwelling urinary catheter. Method: The research design was non equivalent control group pretest-post test design. The data were collected from March to August, 2005 at C university hospital in Seoul. The subjects were 43 patients who had a indwelling catheter in neurosurgery intensive care unit(NSICU). They were assigned to two groups, 21 subjects to the experimental group and 22 subjects to the control group. The experimental group received perineal care with 3% blending essential oil for 4 days. Results: In the experimental group, white blood cells and bacteria in urine were significantly lower than control group. Bacteria in urine culture was lower in the experimental group at post test. Conclusion: Perineal care with aroma essential oil could be an effective intervention to reduce the UTI of patients in NSICU.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of different methods of hand washing by counting the number of bacteria on the hand surface. Eighteen clinicians were chosen and divided into three groups, consisting of six clinicians each. Culturing of the right raw palms of all individuals was performed. Individuals in the control group washed hands for 5 seconds with antimicrobial soap. Group 1 washed their hands for 10 seconds with antimicrobial soap. Group 2 washed with an instant alcohol-based hand sanitizer. After the respective washes, re-culturing of the right raw palm was done for each member of all groups. The colony-forming units (CFU) were calculated at each time point, and the reduction rate of CFU among the three groups were statistically evaluated using student t-test. All groups showed a significant decrease in CFU, according to the time applied (P<0.01). In addition, the reduction rate of CFU between the groups were statistically evaluated with ANOVA (P<0.01). It showed statistically difference between the control group and group 1, control group and group 2. The present study confirmed that the hand washing method with antimicrobial soap for 10 seconds and hand sanitizer, including alcohol, were excellent for decreasing the number of bacteria on the hand surface.

본 연구의 목적은 두유 curd를 형성하는 미생물을 분리하는 것이다. 두유 curd를 형성하는 미생물은 채소를 젖산균으로 발효시킨 전통적인 한국의 음식, 김치로부터 분리하였다. 분리 균주 196개 중 10개의 균주(strain No. 2-2-2, 2-15-2, 2-18-1, 2-19-2, 3-4-1, 3-4-2, 3-8-1, 3-8-3, 3-17-1, 4-39-5)가 단단한 두유 curd를 형성하였고 분자생물학적 생화학적 분석법에 의해 동정되었다. 분리균주로부터 추출한 genomic DNA는 16S rDNA 지역의 PCR 증폭을 위한 주형으로 사용하였다. GenBank 데이터로 16S rDNA 염기서열을 비교한 결과, 분리 균주들은 Leuconostoc mesenteroides group과 Lactobacillus sakei group으로 동정되었다. 두유 curd를 형성하는 균주들의 계통 발생학적 위치와 분류군은 neighbor-joining 방법을 이용하여 확인하였다. 또한, L. mesenteroides group은 생화학적 특성에 의해 L. mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum으로 동정되었다. 하지만 L. sakei group은 생화학적 특성 비교시 다양성을 보여 Lactobacillus sp.로 명명하였다.

본 실험에서는 Pediococcus inopinatus Y2 (P. inopinatus Y2) 유산균으로 발효시켜 제조한 발효 두유커드가 알레르기성 피부질환의 치료에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위해 알레르기 유발 ICR 마우스를 대상으로 4주간 경구투여한 이후, 마우스의 체중, 귀 두께, IgE 농도, 면역 기관 중량 및 혈청 IgE 농도 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 대부분의 동물실험 군은 적당한 체중 증가를 보였다. 귀 두께에서, 아무처리를 하지 않은 그룹(No group)이 가장 낮은 두께를 나타냈고, PA 처리 그룹이 알레르기가 유발되어 두꺼워졌다. PA로 유도된 AD 마우스를 육안으로 관찰하였을 때, 발효 두유커드 투여그룹(FSC group)의 피부 상태는 더욱 개선되었다. 이에 따라 유산균에 의한 발효 두유커드가 피부염을 회복시킬 수 있음이 확인되었다. 마우스의 비장과 림프절의 무게와 IgE 농도를 비교 한 결과, 두유를 투여한 그룹(SM group)도 치료 효과를 보였으나 발효 두유커드의 알레르기 치료 효과가 더 우수 하였다. 결과적으로 발효 된 두유커드가 알레르기성 피부질환을 개선 할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

For quality standardization, the application of functional lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as starter cultures for food fermentation is a well-known method in the fermented food industry. This study assessed the effect of adding a non-thermally microbial inactivated starter culture to kimchi, a traditional Korean food, in standardizing its quality. In this study, pretreatment based on sterilization processes, namely, slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) disinfection and ultraviolet C light-emitting diode (UVC-LED) of raw and subsidiary kimchi materials were used to reduce the initial microorganisms in them, thereby increasing the efficiency and value of the kimchi LAB starter during fermentation. Pretreatment sterilization effectively suppressed microorganisms that threatened the sanitary value and quality of kimchi. In addition, pretreatment based on sterilization effectively reduced the number of initial microbial colonies in kimchi, creating an environment in which kimchi LAB starters could settle or dominate, compared to non-sterilized kimchi. These differences in the initial microbial composition following the sterilization process and the addition of kimchi LAB starters led to differences in the metabolites that positively affect the taste and flavor of kimchi. The combined processing technology used in our study, that is, pre-sterilization and LAB addition, may be a powerful approach for kimchi quality standardization.
