Consumption of angelica leaves (Angelica utilis) juice as a health-improving drink faces some limitation due to its bitter taste. In this study, fermented angelica leaves was prepared using some lactic acid bacteria from kimchi with their sensory properties and biological activities examined. The addition of ALm (angelica leaves fermented by Leuconostoc mesenteroides) in plain yoghurt increased umami and preference compared to the yoghurt where dried angelica leaves were added. The ALm extract showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than other extracts and its flavonoid content was the highest. In case of A549 (lung cancer cell line) in CCK-8 assay, ALp (angelica fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum) extract exhibited inhibiting activity at 400 ppm level. When it comes to HT29 (colorectal cancer cell line), ALm, as well as Alp, depicted inhibition effects. In the fermented angelica leaves including ALm and ALp, the characteristic bitter taste of angelica leaves decreased through fermentation process so that both of them could be used as a health drink ingredient.
