Saccharomyces fermentati and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were isolated from a traditional kimchi, and then the Leu. mesenteroides was mutated to the acid-tolerant mutant Leu. mesenteroides M-l00. In the result of growth properties in MRS broth with various pHs adjusted with HCl and acid solution (latic acid:acetic acid=1:2), an acid-tolerant mutant Leu. mesenteroides M-100 showed more increased ability for growth than its wild strain at various temperatures. The strains were used as starters for the fermentation of kimchi. The experiments were performed with classified experimental groups (Group I, control kimchi; Group II, addition of YK-19 only; Group III, addition of M-100 only; Group IV, addition of mixture of M-100 and YK-19), and their pH, total acidity, reducing sugars content, organic acid productivity, organoleptic tests, and microfloral changes were compared. As a result, in pH and acidity, the optimal ripening period of Group IV was about 13.5 days (i.e. from the 8.5 to 22 days of fermentation). This result indicates that the optimal ripening period of Group IV was about 1.5 times longer than that of Group I. Furthermore, Group IV was edible to 28 days of fermentation. In addition, high contents of succinc acid was observed in Group IV. Group IV was also highly ranked on the organoleptic test. During the fermentation of kimchi, the number of Leuconostoc sp. in group I reduced after 7 days; however, the number of Leuconostoc sp. in Group II, III, and IV decresed after 14 days of fermentation. An especially high number of Leu. sp. was observed in Group IV, and this gave better flavor of kimchi than any other during the whole fermentation period. Citric acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, and lactic acid were detected in the kimchi, and a significant increase in the concentration of lactic acid during fermentation was observed in the all experimental groups.

To investigate the food preservative effects of leaf mustard Dolsan(Brassica juncea), the pretreated extract of leaf mustard Dolsan were added to Kimchi and the results are as following. pH of Kimchi added leaf mustard Dolsan extracts were lower than that of control at initial stage, but after 6 days of fermentation, pH was higher in order of Kimchi added the pretreated extract of leaf mustard Dolsan (hydrolyzed at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, PEM), the unpretreated extract of leaf mustard Dolsan(UEM) and control. The total number of bacteria and lactic acid bacteria increased rapidly at the initial stage of fermentation and reached plateau at 2 days of fermentation. The number of bacteria and lactic acid bacteria of Kimchi added leaf mustard Dolsan extracts were lower than that of control ,a and antimicrobial activity of PEM in Kimchi was higher than that of UEM. After 2 days fermentation, sensery value of Kimchi added PEM was more excellent than that of control.

We investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of yogurt supplemented with 1%, 2%, and 3% aronia juice and fermented for 24 h at $37^{\circ}C$. The total acidity increased with increasing levels of aronia juice and incubation time. Lightness and yellowness of the yogurt decreased, but redness increased, with increasing aronia juice content and incubation time. The number of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) increased with increased incubation time, and yogurt containing 2% and 3% aronia juice showed higher LAB counts than 1% aroinia juice-supplemented yogurt. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents increased proportionally with increasing levels of aronia juice. Antioxidant activity of aronia-containing yogurt was significantly higher than that of the control and increased proportionally with aronia juice concentration. Yogurt with 2% aronia juice had the best taste (P<0.05). Aronia juice may be a useful additive for improving the taste and antioxidant potential of yogurt.

This study was undertaken to examine the effects of fresh ginseng on the physicochemical and microbiological changes in dongchimi juice fermented under various conditions. The pH was somewhat lower in dongchimi juice added with 2.0% and 4.0% of fresh ginseng than that without ginseng, whereas the titratable acidity was higher in dongchimi juice with 2.0% and 4.0% of ginseng addition than the control. The addition of fresh ginseng to dongchimi preparation increased the numbers of total viable bacteria, lactic acid bacteria including Leuconostac mesenterotdes in dongchimi juice during fermentation. The changes in the counts of lactic acid bacteria were similar to those of total viable cells throughout the experiment except the initial stage of fermentation. However, the number of Leucosfastoc mesenternidgs decreased after the palatable stage. Key words : Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, dongchlmi juice, pH, titratable acidity, microbiological changes.

Irradiated red pepper powder (IRPP) was tested for its ability to retard fermentation and to maintain a high quality of Kimchi by the reduction of the initial microbial load. Kimchi containing IRPP at the doses of 0, 5, 10, 15, or 20 kGy was prepared. Quality indices for Kimchi in this study were pH, titratable acidity, reducing sugar content, total microbial count, lactic acid bacterial load, and sensory evaluation. Based on the pH and titratable acidity, the Kimchi with IRPP showed a retarded fermentation until 15 days. The number of the total aerobes and lactic acid bacteria of the Kimchi with IRPP were lower by about 1 log CFU/mL compared to control at day 0, however, the counts increased to 8.5 log CFU/mL after 10 days, which was similar to the control group. Kimchi that was fermented with 5 kGy IRPP was better than control and other treatments in odor and color, whereas the control scored highest in taste. Addition of IRPP showed a limited retardation of Kimchi fermentation without other quality deterioration.

The objective of the study was to measure the beneficial effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculation on the nutritive value of oat silage collected from thirteen regions in the Republic of Korea. The contents of crude protein, acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and crude ash (CA) were slightly lower in LAB inoculated silage when compared with the control silage, whereas inoculation of LAB resulted in increased total digestible nutrient (TDN). Higher number of LAB, but lower count of yeast and fungi indicated the effectiveness of the LAB inoculation on oat silage fermentation. LAB inoculation resulted in low pH silage, which may prevent undesirable microbial growth. The LAB inoculation promoted lactic acid dominant fermentation with marginal levels of acetic acid and butyric acid in oat silage. These data suggest that the LAB inoculation may preserve oat silage at better quality for ruminant animal production.

Before making of tea, the number of leaf, plant height and node length in young shoot were 5.2, 14.9cm and 1,9cm respectively. These contents caused problems in leaf rolling and uniformity. No significant difference in quality and comoposition of roasted and steamed were observed, external shape and internal quality, however, were good from 1st to 3rd leaf. Chemical nutrition consists of leaf position, Total nitrogen content of terminal leaf was 4.88%, total free amino acid 21.12%, and caffein 3%. Vitamin C content was increased with increasing of leaf age. Making of roasted tea was required long time because camellia leaf was very hard and smoothly. Products had lower water color, perfume and taste. Internal quality of steamed tea was good in water color and taste. The contents of total nitrogen, total free amino acid, catechin, caffeine and vitamin C were 4.24%, 1.01, 17.7%, 2.6% and 75.7mg/ml.(중략)

To investigate the efficacy of alternatives to antibiotics, the present study was conducted to compare the effects of antibiotic, lactic acid, a blend of commercial essential oils (EOs) and EOs in combination with lactic acid on growth performance and the functional activity of the gut in broiler chickens. A total of 168 broiler chickens were given the basal diet supplemented with 10 ppm colistin (T1), 0.1% lactic acid (T2), 25 ppm EOs (T3), 25 ppm EOs+0.1% lactic acid (T4), 50 ppm EOs (T5) or 50 ppm EOs+0.1% lactic acid (T6) in the period 3 to 35 days of age. As a result, the broiler chickens assigned to T4 group throughout the experimental period had apparently (p<0.05) greater body weight and total gain than these assigned to T1, T2, T3 and T5 groups. However, there was no difference in growth performance among the birds fed the diets supplemented with antibiotic (T1), lactic acid (T2) and EOs (T3 and T5) alone. The weights of digestive organs and the number of lactobacilli and E. coli in the lower ileum were not affected by dietary treatments. Total trypsin activity was significantly (p<0.05) greater in T4 than T1, T2, T3 and T5 groups. Total and specific pancreatic $\alpha$-amylase activities were significantly (p<0.05) enhanced in the broiler chickens fed T4 diet compared with these fed T1, T2 and T3 diets. However, there were no differences in growth performance and digestive enzyme activities including pancreatic trypsin and $\alpha$-amylase between T4 and T6 groups fed the diets supplemented with either low or high EOs levels in combination of lactic acid. In conclusion, a blend of commercial EOs combined with lactic acid showed significant increases in digestive enzyme activities of the pancreas and intestinal mucosa, leading to increase in growth performance.

Objective: To investigate the improvement in utilization efficiency of total mixed ration (TMR) on Tibetan plateau, TMR were ensiled with different additives. Methods: A total of 150 experimental silos were prepared in a completely randomized design to evaluate the six treatments: i) control (without additive), ii) Lactobacillus buchneri (L. buchneri), iii) acetic acid, iv) propionic acid, v) 1,2-propanediol; and vi) 1-propanol. After 90 days of ensiling, silos were opened for fermentation quality and in vitro analysis, and then subjected to an aerobic stability test for 14 days. Results: Treating with L. buchneri, acetic acid, 1,2-propanediol and 1-propanol decreased propionic acid contents and yeast number, whereas increased (p<0.05) pH, acetic acid and ethanol contents in the fermented TMR. Despite increased dry matter (DM) loss in the TMRs treated with 1,2-propanediol and 1-pronanol, additives did not affect (p>0.05) all in vitro parameters including gas production at 24 h (GP24), GP rate constant, potential GP, in vitro DM digestibility and in vitro neutral detergent fibre digestibility. All additives improved the aerobic stability of ensiled TMR to different extents. Specially, aerobic stability of the ensiled TMR were substantially improved by L. buchneri, acetic acid, 1,2-propanediol, and 1-propanol, indicated by stable pH and lactic acid content during the aerobic stability test. Conclusion: L. buchneri, acetic acid, 1,2-propanediol, and 1-propanol had no adverse effect on in vitro digestibility, while ensiling TMR with the additives produced more acetic acid and ethanol, subsequently resulting in improvement of aerobic stability. There is a potential for some fermentation boosting additives to enhance aerobic stability of fermented TMR on Tibetan plateau.

The study was conducted to investigate the condition for mixed fermentation of Rhodilola sachalinensis with red ginseng using Lactobacillus acidophillus 128 and the changes of physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities before and after the lactic acid fermentation was examined. In the single fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis extract, the pH and titratable acidity rarely changed, and the number of lactic acid bacteria decreased greatly. On the other hand, in the lactic acid fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract of 50% red ginseng content, the pH decreased, whereas the titratable acidity and the number of lactic acid bacteria increased. The solid content of optimal mixed extract for lactic acid fermentation was 0.5%. Sugar content decreased during fermentation, but total phenolic compounds tended to increase during fermentation. The salidroside and p-tyrosol content of the initial Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract was 419.5 mg% and 60.1 mg%, respectively; after fermentation, the salidroside content after lactic acid fermentation decreased greatly to 81.8 mg%, and the amount of p-tyrosol increased greatly to 324.9 mg%. The DPPH scavenging activity of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed fermentate was 78.1% at 0.1% concentration, showing a tendency to increase as compared to 50.3% of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract before the fermentation (p<0.05); it was a higher antioxidant activity as compared to the single fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis or red ginseng.
