  • The aims of this work were to characterize and determine bioactivities of crude exopolysaccharide (EPS) extract from Bacillus tequilensis PS21 isolated from milk kefir from Kampaeng Petch, Thailand. B. tequilensis PS21 produced 112.1 mg dried EPS/l from initial 80 g/l lactose in modified TSB media at 52 h, with EPS product yield of 8.9 mg EPS/g lactose and specific product yield of 0.3 mg EPS/mg biomass. The FTIR result confirmed EPS to be a protein-bound polysaccharide and SEM analysis showed the morphology to be a grainy appearance with an uneven surface, covered with pores. HPLC analysis determined EPS as a heteropolysaccharide consisting of five sugar units with the following molar ratios; xylose (17.65), glucose (2.54), ribose (1.83), rhamnose (1.23), and galactose (1). Chemical components of this EPS were predominantly carbohydrate at 697.8 mg/g EPS (65%), protein 361.4 mg/g EPS (34%), and nucleic acid 12.5 mg/g EPS (1%). The EPS demonstrated antioxidant activities at 57.5% DPPH scavenging activity, $37.2{\mu}M\;Fe(II)/mg$ EPS and $34.9{\mu}M\;TEAC\;{\mu}M/mg$ EPS using DPPH, FRAP and ABTS assays, respectively. EPS also exhibited anti-tyrosinase activity at 34.9% inhibition. This work represents the first finding of EPS produced by Bacillus sp. from Thai milk kefir which shows potential applications in the production of antioxidant functional foods and whitening cosmetics. However, optimization of EPS production for industrial exploitation requires further study to ascertain the economic potential.

  • Linum usitatissimum L. (flaxseed) is emerging as an important functional food ingredient because of its rich contents, namely, ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid (ALA, omega-3 fatty acid), lignans, and fiber, which are potentially beneficial for human health. Furthermore, flax or flaxseed oil has also been incorporated as a functional food ingredient into various foods such as milk, dairy products, and meat products. Flaxseed is known to possess antimicrobial activity in vitro and in vivo, but its growth-stimulating effect on lactic acid bacteria is not clear. Hence, the objective of this study was to determine whether crude flaxseed extract stimulated the growth kefir-isolated lactic acid bacteria in vitro. The result of this study showed that Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens DN1, Lactobacillus brevis KCTC3102, Lactobacillus bulgaricus KCTC3635, and Lactobacillus plantarum KCTC3105 treated with $100{\mu}L$ of crude flaxseed extract showed significantly higher growth than the control treated with $100{\mu}L$ of water (p<0.05). Based on the results of this study, crude flaxseed extract could be used as a growth stimulator for lactic acid bacteria in various food applications, including production of milk and dairy products.

  • The objective of this study was to assess the physicochemical and sensory changes of a kefir manufactured by a two-step fermentation (MTY, $1^{st}$ step: $37^{\circ}C$ for 9 h; $2^{nd}$ step: $24^{\circ}C$ for 15 h) and compare it with kefirs produced by two conventional methods (GTY, fermentation at $37^{\circ}C$ for 24 h; KEY, $22^{\circ}C$ for 24 h). Rapid changes in pH and titratable acidity (TA) were observed in samples from all three manufacturing methods during fermentation process and storage period. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts of MTY increased gradually up to 12 h of fermentation, reaching 9.28 Log CFU/mL, with maximum value observed in this experiment of 9.48 Log CFU/mL. The LAB counts of all samples decreased significantly during storage. The highest viscosity was observed for MTY (1750-1771 cPs), compared with the lowest viscosity observed for KEY (1250-1277 cPs). The viscosity of all samples increased slightly during storage (1250-1805 cPs, p<0.05), as well as carbon dioxide content (0.01-1.36%, p<0.05), except for GTY. The most significant increase in alcohol concentration during storage period was seen in MTY from 0.01% to 1.36% (p<0.05). MTY scored significantly higher in most items of the sensory analysis, indicating that the product manufactured by the two-step fermentation method is more acceptable compared with conventionally produced kefirs.

  • The Strain TFM-7, Which has an antitumor effect, was isolated from Kefir and identified based on analysis using the API 50 CHL kit and 265 rDNA sequencing. Strain TFM-7 was confirmed to belong to the genus Kluyveromyces. Analysis of the 265 rDNA nucleotide sequences found strain TFM-7 to be related to Kluyveromyces marxianus. NRRL Y-828IT. K. marxianus. TFM-7 was cultured with potato dektrose broth medium at $27^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr, and its inhibition effects on the proliferation of seven tumor cell lines and a normal cell line were assessed using the MTT assay. The antitumor effects and growth characteristics of K. marxianus TFM-7 were investigated during a culture period of 7 days. By the $3^{rd}\;day$, K. marxianus TFM-7 showed a dry cell weight 2.39 g/L, a pH of 4.39, an ethanol content of 0.89%, and an inhibition effect on the proliferation of seven tumor cell lines above 50%, except for A-549 tumor cell line. K. marxianus TFM-7 was the most effective at inhibiting the growth of Hep-2 cell line among all tumor cell lines tested. Growth inhibition of a normal cell line, NIH/3T3, was less than 35%, suggesting a decreased level of cytotoxicity toward normal cells. These results indicate that K. marxianus TFM-7 may have used as a yeast strain with antitumor activity.

  • The root of ginger (Zingiber officinale) contains gingerol, which is known to be responsible for its pharmacological activity. The essential oil extracted from ginger has been found to have various pharmacological effects. Thus, interest in the development of various beverages using ginger oil has recently increased. Therefore, in this study, the organoleptic quality assessment of cow milk, yogurt, kefir, soy milk, oat milk, and almond milk was conducted by supplementing them with oil extracted from ginger at various concentrations (supplemented with 0.5% increments from 0% up to 2%). A poor grade was obtained in the organoleptic quality evaluation, owing to the strong odor of ginger oil. However, when compared to that of the control, the samples supplemented with 0.5% ginger oil showed a good grade of organoleptic quality assessment. Therefore, this study is considered valuable as it is the first study to review the organoleptic quality assessment by supplementing milk, yogurt, kefir, soy milk, oat milk, and almond milk with ginger oil. Additionally, in order to improve organoleptic quality assessment, it is critical to estimate how much ginger oil supplementation concentration could be reduced and whether ginger oil exhibits various bio-activities at this concentration.

  • 본 연구에서는 비살균 원유로 제조되고 숙성실에서 60일 이상 숙성된 7가지의 다양한 Gouda 치즈의 미생물학적 안전성을 실험적으로 검증하기 위해서 저장기간 동안에 다양한 미생물학적 변화를 조사하였다. Cheese 1과 2는 전통적인 비살균 Godua 치즈에 있어서는 60일 저장기간 동안 Salmonella spp.는 전혀 검출되지 않았으며, E. coli는 20 day부터는 검출되지 않았다. 대장균군은 Cheese 1에서 40 day부터 검출되지 않았지만, Cheese 2에서는 60 day까지 검출되었다. Cheese 1과 Cheese 2는 비살균 Gouda 치즈이기에 약간의 차이는 있었지만 전반적으로 비슷한 경향을 보였다. Cheese 3(원유에 인위적으로 Salmonella spp.를 오염시킨 후 제조된 비살균 Gouda 치즈), Cheese 4(Cheese 3에서 kefir에서 분리한 DH5 유산균 첨가)와 Cheese 5(Cheese 3에서 kefir에서 분리한 DN1 유산균 첨가)에 있어서는 60일 저장기간 동안 Salmonella spp.의 저해가 관찰되었다. 특히 Cheese 4와 Cheese 5에 추가적으로 첨가된 Kefir에서 분리한 유산균 DH5와 DN1은 Cheese 3보다 유의적으로 Salmonella spp.의 저해를 보였다. Cheese 6(유산균첨가 없이 제조된 비살균 Gouda 치즈)에서는 저장기간이 길어질수록 유산균수가 다른 Cheese들에 비해서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 그리고 Cheese 7(살균한 원유로 제조한 전통적인 Gouda 치즈)에 있어서는 대장균 및 대장균군, Salmonella ssp.는 거의 검출되지 않았고, 유산균은 다른 Cheese들보다 약간 높게 나타났다. 60일 숙성된 Cheese 1부터 Cheese 7까지의 모든 샘플에 대한 Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, E. coli O157:H7 검사에서 모두 음성을 보였다. 향후 kefir에서 분리한 유산균 DH5와 DN1의 비살균 원유를 이용한 숙성치즈의 제조에 관한 연구가 필요하겠다. 본 연구에서 Salmonella spp.를 인위적으로 접종한 Cheese 4와 5에서 보여준 Salmonella spp.의 저해 효과는 비살균 원유를 이용한 숙성치즈의 제조에 보다 큰 안전성을 부여할 것이라 사료된다.
