We isolated a novel lactic acid bacterium from a Korean traditional fermented food, soybean paste. The newly isolated strain, dubbed RKY2, grew well on glucose, sucrose, galactose, and fructose, but it could not utilize xylose, starch, or glycerol. When the partially amplified 16S rDNA sequence (772 bp) of the strain RKY2 was compared with 10 reference strains, it was found to be most similar to Lactobacillus pentosus JCM $1588^T$, with 99.74% similarity. There-fore, the strain RKY2 was renamed Lactobacillus sp. RKY2, which has been deposited in the Korean Collection for Type Cultures as KCTC 10353BP. Lactobacillus sp. RKY2 was found to be a homofermentative lactic acid bacterium, because its end-product from glucose metabolism was found to be mainly lactic acid. It could produce more than 90 g/L of lactic acid from MRS medium supplemented with 100 g/L of glucose, with 5.2 g $L^-1$ $h^-1$ of productivity and 0.95 g/g of lactic acid yield.

난산균의 효율적인 보존문제로서 Lactobacillus bulgaricus NLS-4를 사용하여 동결 및 동결건조법이 이 균주의 생존도 및 활성도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 동결 및 동결건조처리 후 전반적인 생존도 및 활성도는 저하되나 초발미생물농도를 높여준 경우 모두 증대되어 동결시에는 최고 생존도 및 활성도가 각각 46％ 및 0.25％ lactic acid였고 동결건조 시에는 22％ 및 0.29％ lactic acid였다. 동결 및 동결건조 처리전 보호물질로서 각각 10％ glycerol과 G. C. G. S. 현탁용액을 첨가한 경우 대조군인 10% skim milk를 첨가한 경우보다 생존도 및 활성도가 증가하여 동결시에는 최고 생존도 62％, 최고 비교활성도 95％를 나타냈고 동결건조시에는 각각 79％, 126%를 나타냈다. 결론적으로는 미생물농도가 생존도 및 활성도를 높이기 위한 가장 중한 인자임을 알 수 있었고 보호물질의 첨가도 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

Four types of straw, namely, soybean, wheat, corn, and rice, were investigated for use in lactic acid production. These straws were mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. After pretreatment with ammonia, the cellulose content increased, whereas the hemicellulose and lignin contents decreased. Analytical results also showed that the liquid enzymatic hydrolysates were primarily composed of glucose, xylose, and cellobiose. Preliminary experiments showed that a higher lactic acid concentration could be obtained from the wheat and soybean straw. However, soybean straw was chosen as the substrate for lactic acid production owing to its high protein content. The maximum lactic acid yield (0.8 g/g) and lactic acid productivity (0.61 g/(l/h)) were obtained with an initial reducing sugar concentration of 35 g/l at 30℃ when using Lactobacillus casei (10% inoculum) for a 42 h fermentation period. Thus, the experimental results demonstrated the feasibility of using a soybean straw enzymatic hydrolysate as a substrate for lactic acid production.

The hepatoprotective activity of lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus brevis HY7401, Lactobacillus acidophilus CSG and Bifidobacterium longum HY8001), which inhibited $\beta$-glucuronidase productivity of intestinal microflora, on t-BHP- or CCl$_4$-induced hepatotoxicity of mice were evaluated. These oral administration of lactic acid bacteria lowered $\beta$-glucuronidase production of intestinal microflora as well as Escherichia coli HGU-3. When lactic acid bacteria at a dose of 0.5 or 2 g (wet weight)/kg was orally administered on CCl$_4$-induced liver injury in mice, these bacteria significantly inhibited the increase of plasma alanine transferase and aspartate transferase activities by $17-57\%$ and $57-66\%$ of the $CCI_4$ control group, respectively. These lactic acid bacteria also showed the potent hepatoprotective effect against t-BHP-induced liver injury in mice. The inhibitory effects of these lactic acid bacteria were more potent than that of dimethyl diphenyl bicarboxylate (DDB), which have been used as a commercial hepatoprotective agent. Among these lactic acid bacteria, L. acidophilus CSG exhibited the most potent hepatoprotective effect. Based on these findings, we insist that an inhibitor of $\beta$-glucuronidase production in intestine, such as lactic acid bacteria, may be hepatoprotective.

This study was carried out to investigate the encapsulation of lactic acid in starch matrix for the application into emulsified sausages. For the encapsulation of lactic acid in starch, the extrusion method was applied, by the different extrusion pressure level. The particle size and morphology of lactic acid containing starch granules and the rate of release of lactic acid from those granules were determined by using Mastersizer$^{(R)}$, a scanning electron microscopy, and electrical conductivity. The size varied slightly depending upon the extruder pressure and influenced entrapment efficiency. Lactic acid was released more slowly, when the extruder had fewer holes, which meant higher extrusion pressure, than when the extruder had more holes. Extruder pressure is therefore critical for producing finer granules that can retain lactic acid longer, during the processing of meat products.

Purpose: It has been reported that the diversity and abundance of microbes in the vagina decrease due to the use of antimicrobial agents, and the high recurrence rate of female vaginitis due to this suggests that a new treatment is needed. Methods: In the experiment, we detected that 10% potassium sorbate solution, 1% eucalyptus oil solution, 1% tea tree oil solution, 400 µL/10 mL grapefruit seed extract solution, 100% lactic acid, 10% acetic acid solution, and 10% lactic acid solution were prepared and used. After adjusting the pH to 4, 5, and 6 with lactic acid and acetic acid in the mixed culture medium, each bacterium was inoculated into the medium and incubated for 72 h at 35℃. Incubate and 0 h each. 24 h. 48 h. The number of bacteria was measured after 72 h. Results: In the mixed culture test between lactic acid bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms, lactic acid bacteria showed good results at pH 5-5.5. Potassium sorbate, which has varying antibacterial activity based on the pH, killed pathogenic bacteria and allowed lactic acid bacteria to survive at pH 5.5. Conclusion: The formulation ratio obtained through this study could be used for the development of a feminine cleanser that can be used as a substitute for antibacterial agents. Further, the findings of this study may be able to solve the problem of antimicrobial resistance in the future.

The inhibitory effect of the food processing agent on growth of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Enteritidis, and Listeria monocytogenes was performed with hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid, and combination of hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid. The minimun inhibitory concentration (MIC) of hydrogen peroxide in E coli O157:H7 was 100 ppm at pH 5.0, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0, while in Listeria monocytogenes 25 ppm at PH 5.5, 6.0 and 50 ppm at PH 6.5, 75ppm at pH 7.0. MIC of lactic acid in E coli O157:H7 was 2500 ppm at pH 5.0, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0. MIC of lactic acid in S. Enteritidis was 1250 ppm at pH 5.0, 2500 ppm at pH 5.5, 6.0, 5.5 and 7.0, while in L monocytogenes 625 ppm at pH 5.5 and 125 ppm at pH 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0. MIC of combined hydrogen Peroxide and lactic acid in E. coli O157:H7, S. Enteritidis, and L. monocytogenes was 75 ppm of hydrogen peroxide with 2500 ppm of lactic acid at pH 6.5. The correlations between MICs of hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid in E. coli O157:H7, S. Enteritidis and L. monocytogene were obtained through the coefficient of $determination(R^2)$. $R^2$ value were 0.9994, 0.9935 and 0.9283, respectively. The inhibitory effect of hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid in E. coli O157:H7, S. Enteritidis and L. monocytogenes could be confirmed from the result of this experiment. Therefore, it was expected that the food process would increase or maintain by using lactic acid together with hydrogen peroxide.

The physicochemical properties of the lactic acid fermented rice flour prepared using ABT-L(mixture of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus longum, Streptococcus thermophilus) were investigated. The efficiency of deproteinizing of lactic acid fermentated rice was higher than soaking fermented rice. The structural properties of lactic acid fermented rice flour showed slightly decreased inner particle size but maintained regular structural form. Molar mass and molar size after being treated with soaking or lactic acid fermentation were decreased. Amylograms except for pasting temperature of lactic acid fermented rice flours or soaking fermented rice flours were more significantly decreased than the control sample. The ratio of flours passed through 100 mesh and 150 mesh sieves of lactic acid fermented rice flours were higher than soaking fermented rice flours. Lactic acid fermented rice flours being passed through 100 mesh sieves showed finer particle flours than those treated with soaking. These results showed that lactic acid fermentation, which can have a high efficiency on the deproteinizing of rice, contributed to the changes of particle size and its distribution of rice flour.

생분해성 고분자 합성물질의 원료가 되는 젖산을 주로 생산하는 균을 김치로부터 분리하였다 SEM을 사용하여 관찰한 분리한 균의 형태는 연쇄간균이었고 165 rRNA sequencing 에 의해 계통발생학적 분석의 결과 Lactobacillus casei KH-1로 명명하였다. 1. casei KH-1는 g1ucose를 젖산으로 98%를 전환시키는 호모발효균이었으며, D(-)와 L(+)-이성질체를 각각 7%와 93%를 포함하는 racemic mixtrure로 젖산을 생산하였다. L. casei KH-1은 다른 lactobacillus속과는 달리 세포의 성장과 젖산의 생산에 기질로서 lactose를 이용하지 못하였지만 glucose의 이용은 이전의 연구들과 비교할 때 효과적이었다. Lactobacillus속의 배양에 사용되는 MRS배지의 질소원을 저렴한 원료 즉, YE와 CSL를 1:1로 첨가한 배지로 대신하여 최대의 젖산수율(1.09 mole .mole$^{-1}$)을 얻어 젖산발효에 효과적인 질소원의 대체가 이루어졌다
