Effects of protease-resistant antimicrobial substances (PRA) produced by Lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc citreum on rumen methanogenesis were examined using the in vitro continuous methane quantification system. Four different strains of lactic acid bacteria, i) Lactococcus lactis ATCC19435 (Control, non-antibacterial substances), ii) Lactococcus lactis NCIMB702054 (Nisin-Z), iii) Lactobacillus plantarum TUA1490L (PRA-1), and iv) Leuconostoc citreum JCM9698 (PRA-2) were individually cultured in GYEKP medium. An 80 ml aliquot of each supernatant was inoculated into phosphate-buffered rumen fluid. PRA-1 remarkably decreased cumulative methane production, though propionate, butyrate and ammonia N decreased. For PRA-2, there were no effects on $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ production and fermentation characteristics in mixed rumen cultures. The results suggested that PRA-1 reduced the number of methanogens or inhibited utilization of hydrogen in rumen fermentation.

Food spoilage by fungi is responsible for considerable food waste and economical losses. Among the food products, fermented dairy products are susceptible to deterioration due to the growth of fungi, which are resistant to low pH and can proliferate at low storage temperatures. For controlling fungal growth in dairy products, potassium sorbate and natamycin are the main preservatives used, and natamycin is approved by most countries for use in cheese surface treatment. However, a strong societal demand for less processed and preservative-free food has emerged. In the dairy products, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are naturally present or used as cultures and play a key role in the fermentation process. Fermentation is a natural preservation technique that improves food safety, nutritional value, and specific organoleptic features. Production of organic acids is one of the main features of the LAB used for outcompeting organisms that cause spoilage, although other mechanisms such as antifungal peptides obtained from the cleavage of food proteins and competition for nutrients also play a role. More studies for better understanding these mechanisms are required to increase antifungal LAB available in the market.

Fermented sausages prepared by inoculation with different starter cultures were analyzed for their physicochemical characteristics. Three types of fermented sausages were processed separately, without starter culture (control), with a commercial culture mix, and culture mix plus Lactobacillus plantarum (LP). On proximate analysis, two inoculated sausages showed an increase in moisture and fat contents (p<0.05). The inoculated sausages showed lower hardness and gumminess values (p<0.05) than control. The combination of starter culture with LP displayed the lowest chewiness and cohesiveness values and showed a more intensive red color (p<0.05). Two inoculated batches showed significantly lower pH values and water activity than control, in accordance with the increase in lactic acid bacteria (p<0.05). The inoculated sausages reduced the extent of lipid oxidation (p<0.05) and induced an increase in lauric acid, linoleic acid, eicosadienoic acid, and arachidonic acid, as well as they had a higher polyunsaturated fatty acid content and ratio of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids (p<0.05). The addition of LP to the starter culture in a suitable combination resulted in a positive effect on the physicochemical and microbiological attributes of fermented sausages.

Epidemiological and experimental studies provide evidences that diet and intestinal microflora play an important role in colon carcinogenesis. In recent years, it has been suggested that lactic acid bacteria (LAB) used to ferment dairy products have an inhibitory effect on the colon cancer. This study was designed to determine the effect of Bifidobacterium longum HY8001 (Bif) and Lactobacillus acidophilus HY2104(Lac) of Korean origin on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic preneoplastic lesions such as aberrant crypt foci(ACF) formation and cecal pH. At five weeks of age, Spraque-Dawley rats were divided at random into four (AOM alone, Bif, ,Lac, and Bif+Lac) groups. Animals were weighed weekly and oral administration of LAB cultures were performed daily until the termination of the study. Two weeks later, all animals were given a subcutaneous injection of AOM dissolved in normal saline at a dose of 15 mg/kg of body weight once per week for 2 weeks. All rats were necropsied 7 weeks after the last AOM injection , and the ACF were visualize under light microscopy in the formalin-fixed, unsectioned methylene blue-stained colons. The total number of aberrant crypt in Bif, Lac, and Bif+Lac groups were significantly lower than that of the AOM alone group and the percentage of inhibitions weas 35.0, 45.6%, respectively. Significant inhibition (p<0.001) in the total number of ACF was also observed in LAB treated groups (Bif , Lac, and Bif+Lac group by 3003, 38.6, and 41.2%, respectively). Furthermore, cecal pH appeared to significantly decrease by LAB administration. The results of present study provide some evidences for potential colon tumor-inhibitory properties of lactic cultures and fermented dairy products.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of yeast cultures (Candida zeylanoides and Debaryomyces hansenii) isolated from traditionally dry fermented Turkish sucuks, on some physicochemical and microbiological properties of the product. Eight different batches of the sucuks were produced by the inoculation of yeast and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cultures (Lactobacillus curvatus, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus sakei) in different combinations. The sucuks were ripened for 12 days and analyzed at 1st, 6th, and 12th days of ripening. Percent moisture content, pH, water activity (aw) and residual nitrite values of the sucuk inoculated with the yeast cultures were higher at the end of the ripening. The use of yeast cultures decreased hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values of the sucuk while increased adhesiveness values. Major volatile groups were aldehydes, terpenes, and sulphur compounds in the sucuk samples. The most noticeable results were for sensory properties of the sucuk that were positively improved by the yeast cultures.

Yogurt is a food produced by bacterial fermentation of milk and the bacteria used to make it are known as "yogurt cultures". Most of them belong to probiotics such as Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus bacteria. Domestic fermented milk market is increasing and about 30 companies are producing yogurt. The purpose of this study was to analyze the quality characteristics of domestic commercial semisolid type yogurt. We collected 20 types of commercial yogurt at local markets. Physicochemical properties including pH, sugar content, acidity, viscosity and microbial characteristics of lactic acid bacteria counts were measured. The yogurt showed pH 4.5, 7.4~18.1% of sugar contents, 0.6~1.3% of total acids and 282~748 cP of viscosities. In the microorganism populations, lactic acid bacteria count were 6.5~11.5 Log CFU/mL and anaerobic lactic acid bacteria count were 7.2 ~ 11.1 Log CFU/mL. The quality characteristics were different depending on the constituents of the sample and the microorganisms used. These results are related to the quality characteristics of yogurts which are useful information about identifying new trends in domestic fermented milk industry.

This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics of sourdough bread with addition of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in the antibacterial activity. The starter cultures were used for sourdough bread to increase bread shelf-life: Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus paracasei KB28, and Pediococcus pentosaceus MJK7. The results showed that the viable counts of lactic acid bacteria were increased in 8.1~9.2 log $cfu/m{\ell}$, respectively. The pH of the three sourdoughs was lower than that of control. In the texture characteristics, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were tended to increase on the sourdough bread. Among the three sourdough breads, bread volume and retrogradation of bread were not significantly different. According to the results from preservation period, the sourdough breads with addition of Lb. paracasei KB28, Ped. pentosaceus MJK7 were showed the appearance of mold and bacteria growth in 5~6 days, whereas the control were showed in 3 days. As a result, a sensory evaluation indicated the highest overall acceptance in order of Lb. fermentum, Lb. paracasei KB28, Ped. pentosaceus MJK7. Based on these results, Lb. paracasei KB28 can be applicable to improve the quality of sourdough bread.
