In order to know the influences of heat treatment of yoghurt on pH, $\beta$-galactosidase and viable cells, yoghurt sample was made by general method with Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, and the changes in pH, $\beta$-galactosidase-activity and viable cell-count were determined during heating at 55$^{\circ}C$ and 7$0^{\circ}C$. The pH of yoghurt was not changed when the yoghurt was heated at 7$0^{\circ}C$, but at 55$^{\circ}C$ it decreased slightly. The stability of $\beta$-galactosidase was not affected markedly by heat treatment at 55$^{\circ}C$, but was rapidly inactivated at 7$0^{\circ}C$. The heat treatment of yoghurt at 55$^{\circ}C$ had the halb of viable cell in 1 hour, but the heat treatment at 7$0^{\circ}C$ had considerable effect on viable cell in 5 minutes.

Phage utilizing medium and BL agar supplemented with antibiotic Tc(tetracycline) were developed as selective media for the isolation and counting of bifidobacteria in dairy products. The former was based on the host specificity of phage. When bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus casei HY 2782 were mixed together in dairy product, L. casei HY 2782 was laysed by J1 phage which has host specificity to L. casei HY 2782 whereas bifidobacteria grew well on the selective medium added wIth J1 phage. The latter was found to inhibit the growth of S. salivarius subsp. thermophilus, L. acidophilus, and L. casei, but commercial bifidobacteria grew well in Tc-containing BL agar.

In order to clarify the effect of the fish meat hydrolysate on the growth of lactic acid bacteria(Str. lactis, Str. thermophibus, L. bulgaricus, L. acidophilus, and L. helveticus), the optimum conditions for hydrolyzing the fish meat were examined, and changes of the acid production, viable cell count of lactic acid bacteria and the charge of pH of the culture medium by addition of the fish meat hydrolysate were tested. The results were as follows: 1. When the hydrolysis of back muscle of mackerel was proceeded at $50^{\circ}C$ and at pH 8, for 48 hours adding 6% pancreatin of the protein content in the substrate, the best result was obtained. 2. The composition of the fish meat hydrolysate were 53.6% moisture, 32.4% protein, 1.0% fat, 10.7% carbohydrate, and 3.2% ash. 3. Above 0.1% of the fish meat hydrolysate in the culture medium, the acidity of the culture medium by Sir. lactis and Str. thermophilus were increased remarkably. The acidity of the culture medium by L. acidophilus and L. helveticus were increased in above 0.2% fish meat hydrolysate in the culture medium. but L. bulgaricus was not effected by the fish meat hydrolysate. 4. The pH of the culture medium during incubating Str. laclis and Sir. thermophilus failed obviously by adding the fish meat hydrolysate. But in the cases of L. bulgaricus, L. acidophilus, and L. helveticus, the pH were not changed clearly. 5. The viable cell count in all bacterial strains tested here were elevated by increasing the concentration of the fish meat hydrolysate.

Seven different strains of lactic bacteria and 13 combinations of these microorganisms were tested for their acid forming capacity on a vegetable milk made from lupinseed protein concentrate(LPC). L acidophilus, L casei, S. lactis, L. mesenteroides, mixed culture of L. acidophilus and S. thermophilus, and mixed culture of S. lactis and L. mesenteroides were selected and further tested for their growth pattern and acid forming property on lupinseed milk both untreated and partly hydrolized one with carbohydrate decomposing enzymes. The enzyme hydrolized lupinseed milk had 1.5 folds of total free sugar, 8.2 folds of fructose, 3 folds glucose, 2.3 folds maltose, compared to the untreated lupinseed milk. For the untreated lupinseed milk, L. mesenteroides was appeared to be most suitable microorganism having the maximum cell concentration of 1.0 $\times$ 10$^{9}$ $m\ell$ and the final pH 4.40 with the acidity 0.46％. For the enzyme treated lupinseed milk, mixed culture of L. acidophilus and S. thermophilus showed the best performance having 1.9$\times$10$^{9}$ $m\ell$ maximum cell number and the final pH and acidity were 3.69 and 1.13％, respectively. Lactic acid fermentation altered the physical property of lupinseed milk; by fermentation the viscosity generally increased with untreated lupinseed milk, but decreased with enzyme hydrolized one. The viscosity change and sedimentation rate of fermented milk varied with the type of lactic bacteria. The results of sensory evaluation indicated that S. lactis, L. casei, mixed culture of S. lactis and L. mesenteroides, and mixed culture of L. acidophilus and S. thermophilus, grown on enzyme hydrolized lupinseed milk, could produce acceptable lactic beverage.

The effect of water extract of Schizandra chinensis on the growth of yoghurt starter was investigated in order to manufacture the drink type yoghurt added with water extract of Schizandra chinensis. It was the most desirable extraction conditions for Schizandra chinensis to soak in 50 times of water for 15 hours at 20$^{\circ}C$. The water extract of Schizandra chinensis showed pH 3.07, 2.39％ acidity, 1.10％ total sugars, and 0.15 optical density for color. The water extract of Schizandra chinensis was added to MRS broth medium from 0.1％ to 1.0％ and the medium was fermented by 4 types of lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Streptococcus thermophilus. The addition of water extract of Schizandra chinensis inhibited the growth of the lactic acid bacteria. The maximum addition amounts of water extract of Schizandra chinensis was 0.9％ for Lac. acidophilus, 0.8％ for Lac. casei, 0.2％ for Lac. bulgaricus and 0.1％ for Str. thermophilus in order to maintain the propagation of the lactic acid bacteria. When the drink type yoghurts added with 0.4％, 0.6％, 0.8％ and 1.0％ water extract of Schizandra chinensis were kept at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 15 days, it was showed that the number of lactic acid bacteria was not significantly changed during the storage. The viable cell counts of the drink type yoghurts by addition of 0.4∼l.0％ of water extract of Schizandra chinensis were 1.13${\times}$10$\^$9/∼2.29${\times}$10$\^$9/ CFU/mL, and these bacterial counts were still more than the legal standard(1.0${\times}$10$\^$8/ CFU/mL) even at 15 days of storage.

The base for preparing oyster hydrolysate-added yogurt was consisted of whole milk (1,000 mL), skim milk (44.05 to 42.05 g), enzymatic oyster hydrolysates powder (OHP, 0 to 2.0 g) and pectin. The yogurt base was fermented with 7 kinds of starter cultures (3% based on yogurt volume), such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus bulgaricus, lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus pentosus, Streptcoccus thermophilus and the mixed starters (L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus) at optimal temperature. Processing condition and quality characteristics of the yogurt were evaluated by analyzing pH, titratable acidity, viscosity, viable cell count, functional properties and sensory evaluation. The results suggested that the optimal conditions for preparing the good quality yogurt revealed the mixed starters (L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus) for starter culture, 1.0 g of 3 kDa hydrolysate for amount, and 5.5 hrs for fermentation time. The good quality yogurt showed 4.31 for pH, 1.07% for titratable acidity, 469 cps for viscosity and $4.9{\times}10^8\;CFU/mL$ for viable cell count. The hydrolysate-added yogurt was 2 times higher in ACE inhibitory and antioxidant activities than commercial yogurt, and kept good quality during storage of 15 days at $5^{\circ}C$.

Lab scale experiments were conducted in order to assess the applicability of $CaCO_{3}$-alginate beads as neutralizer for the high cell density cultivation and prepare the direct vat inoculation cultures of isolated sourdough lactic acid bacteria. With increasing the amount of bead and decreasing the diameter of bead in acidic solution, the neutralizing effect of $CaCO_{3}$-alginate bead became higher. In batch process with $CaCO_{3}$-alginate beads, Lactobacillus amylovorus DU-21 isolated from sourdough showed the highest viable cell counts and optical density in MRS broth. The values of viable cell counts and optical density were 9.996 log CFU/mL and 3.97, respectively. Experiments on the conditions which increase viability during lyophilization were carried out and the following results were obtained; 15% glycerol revealed the high cryoprotective effect on the concentrated cultures during lyophilization among the two cryoprotective agents. Consequently, $CaCO_{3}$-alginate beads and 15% glycerol were found to be useful not only to cultivate Lactobacillus amylovorus DU-21 but also to preserve strain.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) concentrations of commercial yoghurts and the ability of dairy starter cultures to produce CLA were investigated. The CLA contents of yoghurts were in the range of 4.1~14.8 mg/l00 g. CLA contents in yoghurts depended on the amount of milk used for raw material. Regression test showed positive correlations between CLA concentrations and selected fatty acids (stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid) of lipids in yoghurts. Among the 67 commercial dairy starter cultures tested, one of Lactobacillus acidophilus, one of Lactobacillus casei and three of Streptococcus thermophilus were found to be capable of converting free linloeic acid to CLA and cis-9, trans-11 octadecadienoic acid presented more than 70% of the total CLA formed. The CLA conversion rate of the screened strains ranged from 6.1% to 8.6% in whole milk for 24 hours at 37$^{\circ}C$.

Lactic acid bacteria(LAB) and its metabolites were tested for their inhibitory effect on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. When S. aureus and LAB were incubated simultaneously in MRS broth, the growth of S. aureus began to be suppressed after 12 hour of incubation, completely inactivated within 24 hour of incubation by L. lactis and 48 hour by L. casei, L. acidophilus, and Sc. thermophilus. The pH values of media incubated by S. aureus and LAB were about 4.5 at 12 hour of incubation and 3.5 at 48 hour. The metabolites of the four LAB all exerted antibacterial activity on the growth of S. aureus in TS broth, but is got lost the antibacterial activity by heating ($100^{\circ}C,\;20\;min$). On treating metabolites with catalase, only L. lactis were lost its antibacterial activity. Organic acids (acetate, lactate) showed more active inhibition than inorganic acid (HCl) at pH 3.5, 4.5 but there is no significant differance at pH 5.5, 6.5.
