Methanol extracts form four kinds of kimchi, which were differently prepared in kinds and levels of sub-ingredients, were given to Balb/c mice for 3 weeks (0.5 mg/kg/day). Peritoneal macrophages isolated from mice treated with kimchi extracts and saline were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). K3 and K4 kimchis, containing more red pepper powder, garlic, Chinese pepper powder, mustard leaf and organically cultivated Korean cabbage, significantly increased NO production by the activated macrophages (p<0.05). K1, K2, K3 and K4 kimchi extracts (0.01, 0.1, 1.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$) significantly reduced the increased TGF-$\beta$1 production of H.pylori lysate (0.01 $\mu\textrm{g}$)-activated human epithelial RPMI 2650 cells (5$\times$10$^{4}$ cells/mL) at 24 and 48 hrs of treatment (p<0.01). However, the decreased TGF-$\beta$1 $\alpha$ production of RPMI 2650 cells by H. pylori lysate increased by treatment with kimchi extract for 72 hrs. Especially, K4 kimchi (containing organically cultivated Korean cabbage and more ingredients, modulated TGF-$\beta$1 production of H. pylori lysate-activated RPMI 2650 cells to the normal level (control) by treatment for 48 hrs. The treatment of K1 and K4 kimchi enhanced the LPS (0.01 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL)-induced IL-6 production of splenocytes. The results suggest that kimchi might have an beneficial effect on cancer prevention due in part to the function enhancing NO production of activated macrophages. Our data suggest that kimchi could modulate TGF-$\beta$1 production by cancer cells and IL-6 production of splenocytes, thereby possibly contributing to control carcinogenesis and the immune system.

To further the goal of isolating Bacillus sp. from commercial chungkukjang (CKJ) for a development of a probiotic dietary adjunct using soymilk or milk, antioxidant activity of CKJ purchased from the Sunchang Traditional Village in Chunbook province was examined. Six CKJ samples were evaluated and 3 were selected based on the results of the physicochemical analysis and sensory evaluation for further antioxidant study. $IC_{50}$ for DPPH scavenging activity of methanol extracts of CKJ ranged from 238.1 to 345.7 ${\mu}g/mL$. CKJ exhibited over 80% scavenging of ${\cdot}OH$ and ONOO- at concentrations of 100 ${\mu}g/mL$ and 250 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively. $O_2^-$ and NO scavenging activities of three CKJ were increased in a dose dependent manner with the concentration tested from 100 to 1000 ${\mu}g/mL$. In this study, the methanol extract of CKJ exhibited a great reduction capability and powerful free radical scavenging activity, especially against OH. and ONOO-, which are the most toxic radicals responsible for oxidative damage in the body. However, radical scavenging effects of CKJ on DPPH, $O_2^-$, and nitrite radical were rather moderate. In conclusion, CKJ may reduce the oxidative stress in the body by scavenging the free radicals.

The objective of this study were to examine the consumption pattern and awareness of Kimchi, which is our traditional food, preference for Kimchi, and the way of quality improvement in order to understand the recognition about the position and importance of Kimchi. The results are as follows. As for the recognition about regional way of making Kimchi, it turned out that married women in Seoul and Daejeon don't know their own ways of making Kimchi, and those in Daejeon don't know it more than those in Seoul. The rate of using Kimchi made at home was higher in Daejeon than in Seoul, and the rate of using Kimchi in both ways turned out higher in Seoul than in Daejeon. The reason why they use home-made Kimchi was that they generally prefer their own specific tastes both in Seoul and in Daejeon. Daily Kimchi ingestion was higher in Daejeon than in Seoul. Besides, the recognition about the superiority of our traditional Kimchi turned out high both in Seoul and in Daejeon. The survey of preferring Kimchi taste has been found that well pickled and proper seasoned Kimchi were most preferred both in Seoul and in Daejeon. Preference rate of various kinds of Kimchi came in the following order: Baechu Kimchi, Mu Kimchi, Oisobaki, Pa-buchu Kimchi in the Seoul area while Baechu Kimchi, Mu Kimchi, Pa-buchu kimchi, Oisobaki in the Daejeon area. In general, a sort of Kimchi stew was most popular as a dish using Kimchi with 63.8% both in Seoul and in Daejeon. It has been found in Seoul as well as in Daejeon that Kimchi served at a restaurant was usually untasty in comparison with Kimchi at home. The rate of preferring Kimchi on the markets in Seoul and in Daejeon as a whole came in the following order: Baechu Kimchi, Chongkak Kimchi, Baek kimchi People thought both in Seoul and in Daejeon that materials and cleanness were top priority when choosing Kimchi on the market. According to the result as above, recognition rate of Kimchi in the Seoul and Daejeon areas was shown rather low. Consequently, a further detailed research on Kimchi is thought to be needed. As the recognition of Kimchi increases, Kimchi consumption will increase accordingly. In order to prevent adult diseases, I think we should increase the consumption of Korean traditional fermentation food including Kimchi by increasing recognition of importance of nutrition, function, superiority, and the role of fermentation of Kimchi.

NA의 전구 및 억제 물질의 첨가가 김치숙성 중 NA 생성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고져 하였다 배추김치에 NA의 전구물질인 아질산염과 DMA를, 저해물질인 ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid , cysteine 및 아황산염을 각각 첨가하여 실온에서 4주간 숙성하는 동안 NDMA의 생성량 변화를 연구하였다. 김치에 아질산염과 DMA를 단독 첨가한 것은 NDMA의 생성량이 대조군($0{\sim}5.86\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$)보다 각각 평균 32배 ($31.3{\sim}113.9\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$), 9배 ($1.3{\sim}40.3 \;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$) 증가하였으며 혼합 첨가한 것은 42배 ($39.4{\sim}155.7\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$) 증가하였다. 아질산염과 DMA를 첨가한 김치에 ascorbic acid를 첨가하였을 때 숙성기간동안 NDMA의 생성량은 감소하였고, ascorbic acid을 4 mM 첨가한 것은 대조군보다 71.3%가 감소하였다. 따라서 김치 숙성중 생성되는 ascorbic acid의 양은 NA의 생성을 억제하는데 매우 중요한 저해제 역활을 하는 것으로 판단되었다. Cysteine과 erythorbic acid의 첨가는 김치숙성중 NDMA의 생성을 억제하는 효과가 거의 없었으며, 아황산염을 첨가하였을 때는 오히려 NDMA 생성이 증가되었다.

To enhance the physiological activities and reduce the off-flavor of garlic in the Kimchi, we manufactured the Kimchi seasoning replaced with 25~75% black garlic instead of raw garlic and measured the contents of antioxidants and antioxidant activities. The polyphenol compound content was $270.91{\mu}g/mL$ in the control and $278.18{\sim}305.75{\mu}g/mL$ in the Kimchi seasoning with black garlic. The polyphenol compound content increased by increasing the amount of black garlic in the Kimchi seasoning. The polyphenol compound contents gradually decreased during storage period. The flavonoid compound content was 26.18 mg% in the control and 26.80~38.72 mg% in the Kimchi seasoning replaced with 25~75% black garlic. The flavonoid compound contents increased by increasing the amount of black garlic. The flavonoid contents were different from those of polyphenol compounds during storage periods. In the case of DPPH electron donating abilities, DPPH electron donating ability of the control was 84.82%, which showed a lower antioxidative activity than the Kimchi seasoning replaced with black garlic. The electron donating abilities of the Kimchi seasoning replaced with black garlic were increased as the amount of black garlic was increased. In the lipid peroxidation test, the control showed no lipid peroxidation during the storage period. The Kimchi seasoning replaced with black garlic also inhibited lipid peroxidation during storage as in the control. However, it showed lower activity than the control. Reducing power was higher in the Kimchi seasoning replaced with black garlic than in the control. The higher the ratio of black garlic, the higher the reducing power.

Background: Panax ginseng is a physiologically active plant widely used in traditional medicine that is characterized by the presence of ginsenosides. Rb1, a major ginsenoside, is used as the starting material for producing ginsenoside derivatives with enhanced pharmaceutical potentials through chemical, enzymatic, or microbial transformation. Methods: To investigate the bioconversion of ginsenoside Rb1, we prepared kimchi originated bacterial strains Leuconostoc mensenteroides WiKim19, Pediococcus pentosaceus WiKim20, Lactobacillus brevis WiKim47, Leuconostoc lactis WiKim48, and Lactobacillus sakei WiKim49 and analyzed bioconversion products using LC-MS/MS mass spectrometer. Results: L. mesenteroides WiKim19 and Pediococcus pentosaceus WiKim20 converted ginsenoside Rb1 into the ginsenoside Rg3 approximately five times more than Lactobacillus brevis WiKim47, Leuconostoc lactis WiKim48, and Lactobacillus sakei WiKim49. L mesenteroides WIKim19 showed positive correlation with b-glucosidase activity and higher transformation ability of ginsenoside Rb1 into Rg3 than the other strains whereas, P. pentosaceus WiKim20 showed an elevated production of Rb3 even with lack of b-glucosidase activity but have the highest acidity among the five lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Conclusion: Ginsenoside Rg5 concentration of five LABs have ranged from ${\sim}2.6{\mu}g/mL$ to $6.5{\mu}g/mL$ and increased in accordance with the incubation periods. Our results indicate that the enzymatic activity along with acidic condition contribute to the production of minor ginsenoside from lactic acid bacteria.

김치의 과숙성을 조절한 고품질화를 위하여 pH 5.0이하의 산성에서 용해되는 Eudragit E100으로 자몽씨 추출물(GFSE)을 함유한 미세 캡슐을 아세톤/액체 파라핀 방법으로 제조하였다. 분산제로 첨가한 aluminium tristearate의 함량에 따라 89.39∼92.13%의 수율을 나타내었으며, aluminium tristearate의 양에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 첨가한 aluminium tristearate함량이 증가할수록 미세캡슐의 크기는 작아지는 경향을 보였는데, 12%의 aluminium tristearate가 존재할 때, GFSE를 함유한 Eudragit E100 미세캡슐은 200 $\mu\textrm{m}$이상이 50.42%, 150∼200 $\mu\textrm{m}$의 범위 내의 것이 36.11%, 100∼150 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 범위의 것이 11.28%, 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 것이 0.17%의 입자 분포를 나타내었다. Eudragit E100 미세 캡슐은 전자현미경으로 구형으로 관찰되었다. Eudragit E100을 pH를 달리한 완충용액에 저장하였을 때, 함유된 GFSE는 pH 3, 4, 5, 6의 조건에서는 1일 만에 내부의 GFSE가 모두 용출되었고 pH 7에서는 9일 후에 약 70%의 GFSE가 용출되었다. 또한, 김치에 첨가하여 저장하였을 때, GFSE 함유 Eudragit E100 미세캡슐의 양이 증가할수록 저장 기간 2일까지는 김치의 pH 저하를 완화시켰으나, 3일 이후에는 큰 영향을 주지 못하였다. 총균수와 젖산균의 경우에서도 GFSE의 첨가량이 증가할수록 각각 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나 pH에 의한 엄밀한 방출은 관찰되지는 않았다.

Herbicidin A is a potent herbicide against dicotyledonous plants as well as an antibiotic against phytopathogens. In this study, fermentation parameters for herbicidin A production in submerged culture of Streptomyces scopuliridis M40 were investigated. The herbicidin A concentration varied with the C/N ratio. High C/N ratios (>4) resulted in a herbicidin A production of more than 900 mg/l, whereas maximally 600 mg/l was obtained at ratios between 1 and 3.5. In 5-L batch fermentation, there was a positive correlation between the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) and herbicidin A production. Once the OUR increased, the substrate consumption rate increased, leading to an increase in volumetric productivity. Mechanical shear force affected the hyphal morphology and OUR. When the medium value of hyphal size ranged from 150 to $180{\mu}m$, high volumetric production of herbicidin A was obtained with OUR values >137mg $O_2/l{\cdot}h$. The highest herbicidin A concentration of 956.6 mg/l was obtained at 500 rpm, and coincided with the highest relative abundance of hyphae of $100-200{\mu}m$ length and the highest OUR during cultivation. Based on a constant impeller tip speed, which affects hyphal morphology, herbicidin A production was successfully scaled up from a 5-L jar to a 500-L pilot vessel.

김치숙성중 숙성온도, pH 및 소금농도가 NDMA의 생성량에 미치는 영향과 또한 in vitro에서 온도, pH 및 소금농도가 NDMA의 생성에 미치는 영향을 각각 연구하였다. 배추김치를 저온 냉장온도($4^{\circ}C$)와 실온 ($16{\pm}2^{\circ}C$)에서 6주간 숙성할 때 아질산염과 DMA의 함량변화는 실온에서는 숙성기간에 따라 일정하지 않았으나 저온 냉장 온도에서는 숙성기간 동안 큰 변화 없이 거의 일정하였고,NDMA의 최대 생성량도 $2.69\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$으로 저온 냉장 때 보다 약 18배 이상 더 많이 생성되었다. 김치 숙성 중 아질산염과 DMA의 함량변화와 NDMA의 생성량과는 관계가 없었으나 pH의 변화는 NDMA 생성량과 같은 관계가 있어 김치 숙성 중 가장 낮은 pH 4.0 부근에서 NDMA의 생성량도 가장 높았다. in vitro 시험에서 NDMA의 생성량은 저온보다는 실온에서 그리고 pH가 낮을수록 더 많이 생성되었고 그 생성량은 온도보다는 pH의 영향이 더 컸다. 보통 소금농도(2.5%)의 김치와 낮은 소금농도(1.5%)의 김치를 각각 숙성할 때 NDMA 의 생성량 변화는 보통 소금농도에서는 숙성기간동안 큰 변화 없이 일정하였고 최대 생성량도 $5.86\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$으로 낮았으나, 낮은 소금 농도에서는 3주째 최고 $90.0\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$ 생성되었다. in vitro에서도 소금농도가 높을수록 NDMA의 생성량도 낮았다.

본 실험에서는 우리나라에서 널리 애용되고 있는 전통 발효식품인 김치와 젓갈류 중의 NA와 전구물질의 함량을 분석하고 인공타액 및 위액을 혼합하여 in vitro상에서 소화시킴에 따라 이들 식품의 섭취 후 체내에서 생성될 수 있는 NA의 함량을 예측하고자 하였다. 질산염은 김치에서 10.7~24 mg/kg, 멸치젓에서 1.5~5.6 mg/kg, 새우젓에서 1.0~2.0 mg/kg 아질산염은 모든 시료에서 평균 0.3 mg/kg이 검출되었다. DMA는 새우젓에서 함량차가 매우 커 30.3~177.9 mg/kg의 범위였고, TMA는 김치에서 0.6~0.8 mg/kg, 멸치젓에서 1.9~2.8 mg/kg, 새우젓에서는 4.4~2l.3 mg/kg으로 정량되었다. NA를 분석한 결과 NDMA가 김치에서 0.8~6.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, 멸치젓에서 불검출~l.2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, 새우젓에서는 불검출~0.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg의 범위로 검출되었고, 인공소화시킨 후에는 모든 시료에서 약 1.5배 증가하였다. 각 시료에 아질산염을 첨가하여 인공소화시킨 경우 모든 시료에서 무첨가군에 비하여 아질산염의 농도에 비례하여 NDMA의 생성량이 증가하였는데, 특히 새우젓에서는 8mM의 아질산염 첨가시 NDMA는 183배 증가하여 220.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg이 검출되었다. 인공타액에 thiocyanate를 1.6, 3.2, 6.4mM 농도로 가하여 인공소화시킨 결과 무첨가구에 비해 NDMA생성량은 약 1.5배 증가하였고 아스코르브산을 농도별로 첨가하여 인공소화시킬 경우 NDMA생성량은 아스코르브산의 농도와 반비례하였고 12.8 mM첨가시 김치는 92.4% 멸치젓과 새우젓은 각각 50.0%, 82.46%의 생성억제 효과가 있었다.
