Lactobacillus acidophilus KFCC12731 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae KFCC32017 were incubated together in soymilk and the conditions for acid production were investigated. The acid production of Lactobacillus acidophilus was much higher when this organism was incubated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae in soymilk than when it was incubated alone. Optimum acid production by the mixed cultures of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae was achieved with the following conditions; a temperature of 34$^{\circ}C$, a 3:7-8:2 (OD 660) ratio of Lactobacillus acidophilus to Saccharomyces cerevisiae at inoculum, a 1.5% level of sucrose fortification or a 2.0-3.0 % level of skim milk powder fortification and a culture time of 12 hours or more.

A curd yogurt was prepared from milk added with skim milk powder or four kinds of cereal. The effect of cereals at 2%(w/v) level on the pattern of volatile aroma compounds in curd yogurt was investigated. Acetaldehyde, acetone, ethanol, diacetyl, butanol and acetoin in curd yogurt were detected by gas chromatographic analysis. Among these compounds, acetaldehyde, ethanol, diacetyl and acetoin were produced during fermentation by Lactobacillus acidophilus (KCTC 2182). The addition of cereals did not affect markedly general pattern of volatile aroma compounds in curd yogurt. The amount of acetoin and ethanol markedly increased until the first 6 hours of fermentation, and then increased mildly until 24 hours. The amount of diacetyl markedly increased until the first 6 hours and then decreased slightly. Acetaldehyde was first detected by gas chromatograph after 18 hours of fermentation.

A curd yogurt was prepared from milk added with skim milk powder or four kinds of starch such as rice starch, wheat starch, corn starch and potato starch. The effects of starch addition at 2%(w/v) level on acid production by lactic acid bacteria in milk was investigated. The effects of starch addition on quality of curd yogurt in terms of apparent viscosity, sensory property and volatile aroma compounds were also examined. Addition of starch markedly stimulated the acid production by lactic acid bacteria. Among four organisms tested, Lactobacillus jugurti produced the highest amount of acid. Apparent viscosity of curd yogurt added with starch was significantly higher than that of control. Curd yogurt fermented with L. jugurti showed pseudoplastic and thixotropic characteristics. Sensory property of curd yogurt added with corn starch or rice starch was evaluated as slightly better than reference sample, but that with potato starch was evaluated as the worst among all samples. Acetaldehyde, acetone, ethanol and butanol were detected by gas chromatographic analysis.

Microencapsulation is a protective process for materials that are sensitive to harsh conditions encounted during food manufacture and storage. The objectives of this research were to manufacture a milk protein-based delivery system (MPDS) containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) using skim milk powder and to investigate the effects of manufacturing variables, such as reaction temerpature and holding time, on the physiccohemical properties of MPDS and viability of LGG under dairy food processing and storage conditions. MPDS was prepared using chymosin at varing reaction temperatures from 25℃ to 40℃ for 10 min and holding times from 5 to 30 min at 25℃. The morphological and physicochemical properties of MPDS were evaluated using a confocal laser scanning microscope and a particle size analyzer, respectively. The number of viable cells were determined using the standard plate method. Spherical-shaped MPDS particles were successfully manufactured. The particle size of MPDS was increased with a decrease in reaction temperature and an increase in holding time. As reaction temperature and holding time were increased, the encapsulation efficiency of LGG in MPDS was increased. During pasteurization, the use of MPDS resulted in an increase in the LGG viability. The encapsulation of LGG in MPDS led to an increase in the viability of LGG in simulated gastric fluid. In addition, the LGG viability was enhanced with an increase in reaction temperature and holding time. In conclusions, the encapsulation of LGG in MPDS could be an effective way of improving the viability of LGG during pasturization process in various foods.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of feeding milk replacer (MR) with varying levels of lactose and the increased supply of total solids (from 750 to 960 g/d) on performance, blood metabolites, and health of Holstein male calves during the preweaning period. Methods: Forty newborn Holstein calves (10 per treatment) were blocked according to birth weight and date of birth and distributed in a randomized block design to different liquid diets: Whole milk powder (WMP) diluted to 125 g/L solids; MR with 48% lactose (48L), diluted to 125 g/L solids; MR with 53% lactose (53L), diluted to 125 g/L solids; 53L MR corrected to 160 g/L solids (16TS) by the inclusion of a solid corrector. Calves were individually housed in wood hutches, fed 6 L/d of the liquid diet, and had free water and starter concentrate access. The study lasted 56 days. Results: Liquid diet intake was higher for calves fed 16TS than for other treatments. Calves fed 16TS presented higher protein and fat intake, followed by those fed WMP and the 48L or 53L MRs. Lactose intake was higher for 16TS-fed calves, followed by 53L, 48L, and WMP-fed calves. Starter and total dry matter intake did not differ among liquid diets. The average daily gain was higher for 16TS than 48L-fed calves, with the other treatments being intermediary. The lowest feed efficiency was observed for calves fed 48L. No effects on health were observed, as well as on selected blood metabolites, except for albumin concentration, which was higher for calves fed 16TS and WMP. Conclusion: Higher total solids content (160 g/L) in MR increases nutrient intake and consequently improves the performance of dairy calves. Feeding MRs with levels of lactose up to 53% of the DM had no deleterious effect on the performance or health of the calves.

Helianthus tuberosus is a perennial plant in the genus, Asteraceae. Pork potato has various pharmacological functions such as improving constipation, preventing bowel disease, inhibiting colon cancer, reducing serum cholesterol, lowering blood lipids, and enhancing blood sugar. This study investigated the physicochemical properties of fermented milk by adding Helianthus tuberosus powder. During the fermentation process, the pH of the fermented milk with added Helianthus tuberosus was higher after 16 hours of fermentation. At 48 hours of fermentation, the pH decreased to 3.70, 3.65, 3.63, and 3.59 with 0% (the control group), 1%, 3%, and 5% Helianthus tuberosus added, respectively. In the last 48 hours of fermentation, the acidity increased to 2.35%, 2.57%, and 3.17% with 0% (the control group), 1%, 3%, and 5% Helianthus tuberosus added, respectively. The number of lactic acid bacteria increased as the quantity of Helianthus tuberosus added increased. The highest number of lactic acid bacteria was 9.96 log CFU/g after 16 hours of fermentation with a 5% addition of Helianthus tuberosus . After 48 hours of fermentation, the amount of lactic acid bacteria decreased to 7.84 log CFU/g and 7.88 log CFU/g in the control group and the 1% added Helianthus tuberosus group, respectively. The addition of 3% and 5% Helianthus tuberosus increased the lactic acid bacteria count to 9.48 log CFU/ g and 9.81 log CFU/g, respectively. As the fermentation time increased, oxalic acid and tartaric acid decreased but lactic acid increased. Lactose degraded galactose and glucose over time. After 48 hours of fermentation, the viscosity in the control, 1%, 3%, 5% added Helianthus tuberosus groups increased to 1,006 cP, 1,026 cP, 1,040 cP, and 1,106 cP, respectively. The antioxidant effect was higher in the 5% added Helianthus tuberosus group (84.14%) than in the control group (80.39%) at 48 hours of fermentation. The concentration of polyphenol was 1.6 mg/g and antimicrobial activity was strong against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sensory characteristics of 11 noodles from four countries by descriptive analysis and consumer acceptance test. Noodle types were udon, pasta, kalguksu, and plain noodles. Fourteen sensory descriptors were developed to evaluate the sensory characteristics of the noodles. The sensory characteristics of the noodles were sweetness, saltiness, springiness, hardness, chewiness, milk flavor, yeasty odor, milk powder flavor, loose particles, and so on. PCA conducted to visually summarize the sensory characteristics of noodles by consumer preference test revealed that 77.1% of the variance was positively defined by sweet, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and moisture and was negatively defined by hardness, color, and floury taste. Yk_udng_KR, thin_KR showed high scores for attributes of springiness and cohesiveness. Overall consumer acceptance was surveyed. Udng_KR scored the highest for attributes such as gusu. Udng_KR showed the highest springiness and high moisture, taste acceptance, and overall acceptance. Note: Please confirm this word.

Aloe vera gel exhibits protective effects against insulin resistance as well as lipid-lowering and anti-diabetic effects. The anti-diabetic compounds in this gel were identified as Aloe-sterols. Aloe vera gel extract (AVGE) containing Aloe-sterols has recently been produced using a new procedure. We previously reported that AVGE reduced large-sized intestinal polyps in Apc-deficient Min mice fed a high fat diet (HFD), suggesting that Aloe vera gel may protect against colorectal cancer. In the present study, we examined the effects of Aloe vera gel powder (AVGP) and AVGE on azoxymethane-induced colorectal preneoplastic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in mice fed a HFD. Male C57BL/6J mice were given a normal diet (ND), HFD, HFD containing 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose solution, which was used as a solvent for AVGE (HFDC), HFD containing 3% or 1% AVGP, and HFDC containing 0.0125% (H-) or 0.00375% (L-) AVGE. The number of ACF was significantly lower in mice given 3% AVGP and H-AVGE than in those given HFD or HFDC alone. Moreover, 3% AVGP, H-AVGE and L-AVGE significantly decreased the mean Ki-67 labeling index, assessed as a measure of cell proliferation in the colonic mucosa. In addition, hepatic phase II enzyme glutathione S-transferase mRNA levels were higher in the H-AVGE group than in the HFDC group. These results suggest that both AVGP and AVGE may have chemopreventive effects on colorectal carcinogenesis under the HFD condition. Furthermore, the concentration of Aloe-sterols was similar between 3% AVGP and H-AVGE, suggesting that Aloe-sterols were the main active ingredients in this experiment.

To increase the nutritional and economic value of commercial peanut yogurt, a peanut yogurt was prepared by 12% skim milk added defatted peanut powder(DPP). The proximate compositions of DPP were moisture 2.3%, crude protein 31.39%, crude lipid 38.84, ash 2.89% and carbohydrate 24.58, respectively. The yogurt product were evaluated for acid production(pH, titratable acidity), number of viable cell, viscosity, color, quality-keeping property and sensory property. By addition of 5% and 10% DPP, the titratable acidity of yogurt was higher than that of yogurt not added DPP. The propagation of lactic acid bacteria was stimulated by adding 5% DPP, and the number of viable cells were about 8.9 log cfu/ml. On the other hand, the number of viable cells in control were 8.3 log cfu/ml. Viscosity of yogurt made from adding 5% and 10% DPP was higher than that of yogurt with only skim milk. When yogurt added with DPP was kept for 15 days at 5$^{\circ}C$ its quality-keeping was relatively good. As the DPP increased, L value(lightness) decreased and a value(redness) increased obviously but the b value(yellowness) of 5% peanut yogurt increased and 10% and 15% again decreased. The overall sensory scores of yogurts added with DPP showed lower than that of yogurt with only skim milk.

Gel-type yogurt was prepared from egg white powder (EWP), casein and glucose. The effects of EWP on acid production and growth of Lactobacillus were studied. The effect of EWP on sensory properties and volatile aroma compounds were also studied. Acid production by Lactobacillus in EWP (1-3%, W/V) was significantly lower than that by Lactobacillus in milk (control). However, the increase of EWP content from 1 to 3% increased acid production significantly, Number of viable cells of L. acidophilus at 24 hrs in milk and EWP containing samples (1-3%) was $3.1{\times}10^4/ml\;and\8.3{\times}10^7-3.6{\times}10^2/ml.$ respectively Sample containing lower amount of EWP generally showed lower number of viable cells. Sensory property of EWP samples (1-3%) was showed lower than that of milk yogurt (reference). However, sensory property of samples containing EWP 2% or 3% was significantly better than that of sample containing EWP 1%. Though the composition of volatile aroma compounds was slightly different from sample to sample, gas chromatographic analysis detected acetone, ethanol, diacetyl and acetoin in samples fermented by L. acidophilus.
