The present study analyzes the role of Lactic Acid Bacteria Mixture (LBM) on improving rye silage quality. Rye of four different stages (Booting, Heading, Flowering, and Late flowering) was collected and silage was prepared. The nutrient profile analysis of experimental silage groups showed no significant changes between control and LBM inoculation. Interestingly, the pH of rye silage in LBM treatments showed significant reduction than control (p<0.05) in all stages of rye silage. However, lowest pH (3.69) resulted on booting stage among other stages of rye. Subsequently significant lactic acid production was noted in all stages of LBM inoculation than control. Conversely maximum lactic acid production of (5.33%DM) was noted at booting stage followed by (4.86%DM) in heading stage. Further the lactic acid bacterial (LAB) count in LBM inoculated group showed significant increase than control. Similarly, the silage of booting stage group registered maximum LAB population (63.7 ×106CFU/g) after that heading stage (32.3 ×106CFU/g). Further significant reduction in yeast growth and no fungal growth was noted in all LPM treatment groups. Hence, LBM inoculants could be a better additive for improving rye silage quality.

This study was conducted to estimate the effect of home or hetero fermentative lactic acid bacteria(LAB) on chemical composition, fermentation quality, and aerobic stability of rye silage. Rye forage was harvested at dough stage(28.9% of dry matter), chopped to 3-5 cm length, and divided into 4 piles for different inoculations as treatment, following 1) No additives(CON); 2) Lactobacillus plantarum at rate of 1.5 x 105 cfu/g of fresh forage(LP); 3) L. buchneri at rate of 1.2 x 105 cfu/g of fresh forage(LB); and 4) Mixture of LP and LB at 1:1 ratio(MIX). Rye silage was ensiled into 20 L bucket silo in quadruplicate for 0, 1, 4, 7, and 100 day periods. After 100 days of ensiling, the silage treated with LB had lower acid detergent fiber content(p<0.05), but higher in vitro dry matter digestibility(p<0.05). The LB and MIX reduced (p<0.05) pH more rapidly than CON and LP across the ensiling days, but had no difference on 100 days. Silage treated LP had lowest(p<0.05) acetic acid, but highest(p<0.05) propionic acid. In contrast, LB treated silage had highest(p<0.05) acetic acid, but lowest(p<0.05) propionic acid with the absence of butyric acid. On microbial count, LP treated silage had lowest(p<0.05) LAB, yeast, and aerobic stability, whereas LB and MIX treated silages had highest(p<0.05). Mold was not detected across all silages. Therefore, it could be concluded that heterofermentative LAB solely or combo with homofermentative LAB might improve in vitro dry matter digestibility, fermentation characteristics, and aerobic stability of rye silage harvested at dough stage.

The acidity of soy curd fermented by lactic acid bacteria is a major factor degrading the sensory properties of soy curd. For preparation of soy curd with low sour taste, lactic acid bacteria were separated from kimchi. The lactic acid bacteria which showed yellow-clear zone around the colonies on BCP plate and formed soy curd with low level of acidity were selected. The selected strain was analyzed by 16S rDNA sequence and named as Pediococcus inopinatus Y2. The maximum viable cell number of the soy curd fermented by P. inopinatus Y2 was obtained at 10.73 log CFU/mL at 25°C for 24 h of fermentation. By the results of panel test, the overall sensory quality of the soy curd produced by P. inopinatus Y2 was higher than that of Leuconostoc mesenteroides No. 4395 and Lactobacillus sakei strain No. 383.

본 연구는 팽이버섯 수확 후 배지를 첨가하여 호밀 사일리지 제조 시 팽이버섯 수확 후 배지를 에너 지원으로서 사용하기 위하여 in vitro 반추위 발효실험이 수행되었다. 공시 사일리지는 출수기의 호밀 에 팽이버섯 수확 후 배지 첨가비율(0%, 20%, 40%, 60%)에 따라 제조하여 6주일간 발효시켰다. In vitro 배양액 제조를 위한 반추위액은 농후사료와 볏짚을 40:60의 비율로 급여한 반추위 cannula가 시 술된 Holstein 수소 2두로 부터 채취하였다. In vitro 실험은 발효시간대를 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 및 48시간 으로 설정하고, 각 처리구별로 3반복으로 발효특성과 건물소화율을 측정하였다. In vitro 배양액의 pH 는 발효시간이 길어짐에 따라 낮아지는 경향이었으며, 48시간 경과 시에는 버섯수확 후 배지 60% 첨가 구가 타 처리구에 비해 유의적(p<0.05)으로 낮았다. 미생물 성장율은 배양시간이 경과함에 따라 증가 하는 경향이었으며, 발효 48시간 경과 시에는 버섯수확 후 배지 20% 첨가구가 타 처리구에 비해 유의 적으로(p<0.05) 높았다. Gas발생량은 48시간 발효 시에 대조구가 타 처리구에 비해 유의적(p<0.05)으 로 높았다. 건물소화율은 버섯수확 후 배지의 첨가비율이 높을수록 높았는데, 발효 24시간 및 48시간에 는 R-60구가 처리구 중에서 가장 높았으며(p<0.05), 대조구에서는 전 발효기간 동안 건물소화율이 현 저히 낮은(p<0.05) 상태에 있었다. In vitro 반추위내 발효실험의 결과와 버섯수확 후 배지의 활용성을 고려할 때, 호밀사일리지 제조 시 팽이버섯 수확 후 배지 첨가비율을 원물기준으로 60%수준이 가장 긍 정적인 것으로 나타났다. 향후 대사시험이나 사양시험을 통하여 가축사료로써의 최적 대체 비율을 규명 해야 할 것으로 사료되는 바다.

This study was aimed to evaluate the dose-response the effects of nano-encapsulated conjugated linoleic acids(CLAs) on in vitro ruminal fermentation profiles. A fistulated Holstein cow was used as a donor of rumen fluid. Nano-encapsulated CLAs(LF, 5% of nano-encapsulated CLA-FFA; HF, 10% of nano-encapsulated CLA-FFA; LT, 5% of nano-encapsulated CLA-TG; HT, 10% of nano-encapsulated CLA-TG) were added to the in vitro ruminal fermentation experiment. In the in vitro ruminal incubation test, the total gas production on incubation with nano-encapsulated CLAs was increased significantly according to the incubation time, compared with the control(p<0.05). The tVFA concentrations on addition of LF and HT were significantly higher than that of the control(p<0.05). Thus, nano-encapsulated CLAs might improve the ruminal fermentation characteristics without adverse effects on the incubation process. In addition, the population of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens which is closely related to ruminal biohydrogenation was increased by adding HT, while decreased by adding LF at 12 h incubation. These results showed that nano-encapsulated CLA-FFA could be applied to enhance CLA levels in ruminants by maintaining the stability of CLA without causing adverse effects on ruminal fermentation profiles considering the optimal dosage.

본 시험은 항염에 효과가 있다고 알려진 식물 추출물의 첨가가 반추위 발효와 메탄 생성에 미치는 영 향을 알아보기 위해 in vitro 실험을 수행하였다. 항염과 항산화 효과가 있는 산뽕나무, 뽕나무, 예덕나 무, 오동나무, 방아풀과 은행나무 6종을 선발하였다. 반추위액과 McDougall buffer 혼합액 15mL과 티 모시 0.3g, 각각의 추출물을 기질의 5%로 넣고 39℃에서 3, 9, 12, 24, 48 그리고 72시간 배양하였다. 항염 효과가 있는 식물 추출물의 첨가는 반추위 발효 성상(pH, 건물소화율, Glucose 농도, 암모니아 농도, 단백질 농도, 미생물 성장량, 휘발성지방산)에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 총 가스 발생량은 각기 다른 양상을 보였으며, 이산화탄소 발생량은 48시간대에서 예덕나무와 방아풀에서 대조구에 비해 유의 적(p<0.05)으로 높았다. 또한 메탄 발생량은 배양 초기에는 대조구보다 첨가구에서 유의적(p<0.05)으로 감소하였으나, 발효가 진행될수록 대조구에 비해 첨가구에서 더 많은 메탄이 발생하였다. Polyphenol과 flavonoid는 은행나무 추출물구에서 가장 높았다. 본 시험의 결과에서 항염에 효과가 있는 식물 추출물 을 in vitro 반추위 배양액에 첨가하였을 때, 반추위 발효에는 영향을 미치지 않았고, 메탄은 초기 발효 에 저감 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of microbial inoculation as additive consisting of novel lactic acid bacteria on quality and fermentation characterization of Miscanthus sinnensis silages.The contents of crude protein, acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber in treatments of additive of lactic acid bacteria (ALAB) inoculation had similar to control. pH of Miscanthus sinnensis (MS) silage in treatments of ALAB inoculation significantly decreased as compared to control (p<0.05). The content of lactic acid in in treatments of ALAB inoculation significantly increased (p<0.05), but the content of acetic acid in treatments of ALAB inoculation decreased. In addition, number of lactic acid bacteria in treatments of ALAB inoculation significantly increased as compared to control (p<0.05). Therefor, we suggest that MS silage improved by inoculation of additive consisting of novel lactic acid bacteria.

To stabilize the supply of kimchi by extending the storage period of spring kimchi cabbage, this study manufactured kimchi from spring kimchi cabbage under varying storage conditions and periods, and analyzed their quality and sensory characteristics following the maturing period. Trimming loss was lowest in the group of plasma+reverse direction+predrying+ HDPE film processing. The salting yield of spring kimchi cabbage stored for 12 weeks was lower than that of spring kimchi cabbage stored for 6 weeks, and the kimchi yield was low in the pre-treatment group of spring kimchi cabbage stored for 12 weeks. The firmness was slightly different according to the storage period from one month of maturation. From the perspective of pH and acidity, the maturation in the reverse direction+pre-drying+HDPE film processing group was slower than that in the normal group (<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, the preference was increased in the low temperature storage processing group as the maturation period was increased (<0.05).

This study aimed to evaluate the fermentation characteristics of mixed Makgeolli with barley and wheats under, fermentation at different temperatures (20, 25, and 30℃) and time (3, 6, and 9 days). The pH and sugar of mixed Makgeolli were 3.68~4.26 and 12.30~17.31 ∘Brix, respectively. The total acidity showed proportionate increase with fermentation temperature and time; whereas, reducing sugar contents decreased with increasing fermentation temperature and time. The alcohol contents of mixed Makgeolli varied significantly by fermentation temperature and time (p<0.05). In terms of color values, the L value decreased with increasing fermentation temperatures, and a value increased significantly with increasing fermentation time. The number of microorganisms (yeast, total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria) in mixed Makgeolli decreased progressively with increasing fermentation temperature and time. Among the organic acids (citric, lactic, malic, and pyruvic acids) in mixed Makgeolli, citric and lactic acid was present at the highest concentrations. From these results, the optimum fermentation conditions of mixed Makgeolli with barley and wheat were 20~25℃ for 6 days.

A total of nine Korean indigenous goats were used in a cross-over arrangement to give nine replicates per treatment, and they were housed individually assigned to 1 of 9 dietary treatments. Nine treatments were 0, 500, and 1000 ppm of quercetin supplementation in diets by mixing roughage and concentrate with different ratios (RC ratio) of 3:7 (RC 30), 5:5 (RC 50) and 7:3 (RC 70). Nutrient utilizations of dry matter, crude fat and NDF were not affected by neither RC ratio nor dietary quercetin (p>0.05), but the rate of crude protein and ADF increased in animals in RC 70 group regardless of quercetin supplementation (p<0.05). In addition, higher RC ratio increased (p<0.05) N retention and N retention rate. Total VFA, acetic acid, propionic acid, iso-butyric acid, butyric acid, iso-valeric acid and valeric acid contents were not affected (p>0.05) by dietary quercetin. Meanwhile, lower total cholesterol level exhibited in animals in RC 70 group compared to RC 30 or 50 groups, unrelated to dietary quercetin (p<0.05), however other plasma parameters were not influenced (p>0.05) by RC ratio and dietary quercetin. Our results indicated that both RC ratio and dietary quercetin may not directly affect the production indices and immune responses in Korean indigenous goat

This research was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding high and low forage diets with different forage sources on rumen fermentation characteristics and blood parameters of Holstein cows during the dry period. Eight Holstein cows were completely randomized assigned to two groups and repeated measurement was utilized in the analysis. Cows in two treatments were fed with diets with high (F:C = 70:30, 70F; forage source: mixed-sowing whole crop barley and Italian ryegrass silage, BIRG) and low (F:C = 55:45, 55F; forage source: tall fescue hay, TF) forage level. Rumen fluid pH was higher in 70F group. Levels of acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid showed a similar pattern: from the lowest value at 07:30 h to the highest at 10:30 h and then decreased in both groups. The ratio of acetic acid to propionic acid was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in 55F group at 09:30 and 10:30 h. Rumen fluid NH3-N concentrations were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in 70F group at 09:30 and 10:30 h. Blood urea nitrogen was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in 70F group. It was concluded that BIRG based diet with a high forage level had no adverse effects on rumen fermentation, some blood chemical parameters, and immune system in dry Holstein cows and could be used as a forage source instead of imported TF.

This experiment was conducted to obtain information of feed value and fermentative quality of wheat cultivar, ‘Taejoong’ to confirm availability as a whole crop silage. As a result, the heading date of ‘Teajoong’ is April 27, and plant height is longer than whole crop barley, ‘Youngyang’ or whole crop wheat, ‘Cheongwoo’, spike length are also large, fresh and dry matter yield are also high. In case of feed value, ‘Taejoong’ had higher crude protein content than whole crop barley, ‘Youngyang’ or whole crop wheat, ‘Cheongwoo’, lower NDF and ADF contents, and significantly higher digestible nutrient contents(p<0.05). In case of fermentation qulity, pH of ‘Taejoong’ was 4.2, and lactic acid content was lower than ‘Cheongwoo’ silage and significantly higher than ‘Youngyang’ silage(p<0.05). Acetic acid content was significantly lower than ‘Youngyang’ and ‘Cheongwoo’ silage(p<0.01), butyric acid content was significantly lower than that of ‘Youngyang’ silage (p<0.05). The final Flieg's score showed that ‘Taejoong’ silage was the best. Also income of ‘Taejoong’ improved than ‘Youngyang’ or ‘Cheongwoo’. Therefore, ‘Taejoong’ is considered sufficiently available as whole crop for forage.

This study was to research the relationships between rice straw degradation and changes of fibrolytic bacteria population during the in vitro rumen fermentation. Dry matter(DM) digestion of rice straw and population of fibrolytic bacteria were measured at the 0. 4, 8, 12 and 48 hours during the incubation. The populations of F. succinogenes. R. albus and R. flavefaciens were defined as log copy number of 16S rDNA by technical method of Quantitative real-time PCR. Total population of F. succinogenes, R. flavefaciens and R. albus was sum of bactera attached on rice straw and suspended in medium. It's population was increased with incubation, reached top level of 29.0 Log copy No at the 24 hour and then decreased. In the meantime, DM digestion of rice straw showed the higher increasement from the 8 hour to the 24 hour than from the 0 hour to the 8 hour, and then a slowdown in increasing trend of digestibility. Attachments of F. succinogenes, R. flavefaciens and R. albus were detected immediately after start of in vitro rumen incubation. At the same time, the colonized bacterial share were respectively 34.5%, 84.4% and 67.9% in total population. All of them was reached the highest colonized bacterial share above 94.7% at the 4 hour incubation. However population of attached bacteria was shown the highest level at the 12 hour or the 24 hour incubation. Kinetics of colonization were formed area of top speed from the 12 hour to the 24 hour and respectively reached 10.33, 9.28 및 8.30 Log copy No/h/g DM at the 24 hour by F. succinogenes, R. flavefaciens and R. albus. The kinetics of rice straw degradation was formed top level of 0.95% DM/h at the 24 hour. The present results gave clear evidence that degradation of rice straw was increased with the development of total fibrolytic bacteria in process of rumen fermentation. Also, their attachment was largely occurred immediately after insertion of rice straw, the colonized bacteria was actively proliferated, and then degradation of rice straw was maximized.

본 연구는 약용실물 수피 추출물을 이용하여 in vitro 반추위 발효성상 및 반추위 메탄 발생에 미치 는 영향을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 공시재료는 무궁화, 음나무, 팽나무, 두충 및 후박나무 추출물을 사용하였다. McDougall’s buffer와 반추위액을 2:1 비율로 혼합한 발효액을 티모시 0.3g과 식물 추출 물이 담긴 50mL serum bottle에 혐기상태로 20mL 분주한 뒤, 39℃에서 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 및 72시 간 동안 발효하였다. 약용식물 수피 추출물을 첨가하였을 때 반추위 발효 성상(pH, 건물소화율, 암모니 아태 질소, 미생물 성장량)에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 배양 6시간대에 두충 추출물 첨가구에서 acetate의 농도가 대조구에 비해 유의적(p<0.05)으로 낮고, 메탄의 기질인 이산화탄소의 발생량이 대조 구에 비해 유의적(p<0.05)으로 낮아 메탄 저감 효과를 기대하였으나 메탄 저감효과는 없었다. 메탄생성 박테리아인 Methanogen archaea의 경우 무궁화 추출물 첨가구를 제외한 전 추출물 첨가구에서 대조구 에 비해 유의적(p<0.05)으로 높았으나 메탄발생량에는 유의적(p<0.05)인 차이가 없었다. 추후 첨가 농 도를 달리하거나 flavonoid 함량을 측정하는 실험이 필요한 것으로 사료되며, 메탄생성박테리아를 감소 시키는 연구도 추가적으로 필요할 것으로 생각된다

This study investigated the quality characteristics and biological activities of rice germ fermented by Bacillus spp. During the milling process, the contents of rice germ in the rice bran (Control) were adjusted to 30% (RG30) and 70% (RG70). The approximate composition, pH, total acidity, total soluble solid, total sugar, polyphenol and flavonoid contents were measured. DPPH radical scavenging activity, xanthine oxidase (XO) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activities were also determined. We observed that the moisture content decreased after fermentation, while the crude protein was significantly increased. Fermentation remarkably lowered the pH from 5.83~6.26 to 4.77~4.93, thereby elevating the total acidity. Fermentation also increased the total solid contents, from 0.40~0.87 °Bx to 1.63~2.20 °Bx. The total sugar decreased to 136.81~151.53 mg/mL from 377.56~450.64 mg/mL. Polyphenol contents were the highest in control (0.59 and 0.73 mg/mL before and after fermentation, respectively). Fermentation significantly affected the increase of the polyphenols in both rice germ 30% and 70% samples, from 0.26 and 0.28 mg GAE/g before fermentation, to 0.52 and 0.70 mg GAE/g after fermentation, respectively. There was a slight increase in the flavonoid contents after fermentation. The IC50 value of the electron donating ability, as evaluated by the DPPH method, was the lowest in control (3.77 and 3.36 mg/mL before and after fermentation, respectively). Fermentation increased the XO inhibition activity up to 63.69% in control, 49.81% in rice germ 30%, and 59.32% in rice germ 70%. The ACE inhibition activities were also increased in the fermented control, rice germ 30% and 70%, to 40.51%, 22.69% and 33.91%, respectively.

Effect of salt concentration (10, 20 and 30%, respectively) and fermentation temperature (10 and 20oC, respectively) on changes in quality index (VBN, Histamine, Amino nitrogen, Total viable cell counts, Coliform bacteria and E. coli counts) of culinary salted and fermented anchovy during fermentation were investigated to suggestion of fundamental documents for industrial objectives. Our results show that the effect of salt concentration on changes in quality index was not high compared with fermentation temperature in salted and fermented anchovy with below 20% of salt concentration however effect of salt concentration and fermentation temperature on quality index was not significant with 30% salt concentration. And all most whole changes of quality index were rapidly increased or decreased for 30 days of fermentation.

오디를 포함한 베리류의 건강 기능성이 알려지면서 생산량 증가 및 가공식품 개발이 활발해지고 있지만 베리류과실의 특성상 상처 입거나 무르기 쉬워 생과로 유통되기 보다는 다양한 형태의 가공품으로 유통되고 있다. 베리류를 원료로 식물발효액을 제조하기도 하는데 대부분 소규모 이루어져 원료의 안전성 및 제조과정에 대한 위생관리가 시급하다. 본 연구는 오디 발효액 제조에 사용되는 원물이 유해 세균에 오염되었을 경우와 발효액으로 소량 포장되는 단계에서 유해 세균에 오염되었을 경우에 오디 발효액 발효과정 중 그리고 오염 발효액 보관과정 중 오염세균의 세균수 변화를 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 오디 발효액이 발효되는 동안 원물에 접종된 E. coli는 시간이 지나면서 감소하는 양상이었다. 특히 오디 원물의 무게 대비 100%로 설탕을 혼합한 처리구 보다는 80%로 혼합한 처리구에서 E. coli의 세균수 감소가 급격하였는데, 설탕을 원물 무게의 80%로 혼합하였을 때 발효과정 중 생기는 총산도가 100% 혼합처리구보다 높음으로써 결과적으로 발효액의 pH가 낮아지게 되어 발생한 결과인 것으로 판단된다. 발효가 완료되어 발효액으로 제품화되는 과정에서 식중독세균에 오염되었을 경우에는 접종 균주별로 조금씩 다른 세균수 감소 양상을 보였지만 대체적으로 보관시간이 지남에 따라 감소하는 양상이었고, 특히 30℃에서 보관하였을 때에는 실험균주 모두 4일 이내에 사멸하였다. 따라서 오디 발효액 제품화시 소량 포장 후 30℃의 온도에서 일주일 정도 보관하는 것이 오디 발효액의 미생물학적 안전성을 높이는데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of microbial culture supplements on ruminal fermentation and fermentative quality of Italian ryegrass silage (IRGS) both in vitro and in situ. Three species of microbes (Lactobacillus casei (LC), Bacillus subtilis (BS), and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC)) were used in this study. They were applied to IRGS at 30 days after silage manufacture. Various items were measured using in vitro and in situ incubation technique after each microbial supplement was inoculated into IRGS at 0.5×104 CFU/g. In the first experiment, in vitro ruminal fermentation characteristics of IRGS were evaluated at 0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after microbes were inoculated into IRGS. In the second experiment, in situ fermentation characteristics were investigated at 0, 1, 3, and 5 days after the inoculation of each microbial supplement. In vitro ruminal NH3-N content was significantly (p<0.05) increased in LC-, BS-, and SC-IRGS at 12 hrs post incubation compared to that in control IRGS. In vitro ruminal total VFA concentration and dry matter digestibility (DMD) of IRGS were not significantly difference among LC-, BS-, and SC-IRGS, although they were numerically increased in LC-IRGS than those of the other IRGS. In addition, this study evaluated the fermentation characteristics and in situ DMD of IRGS with the lapse of incubation time up to 5 days. Throughout the incubation times from 1 day to 5 days, the pH value was significantly (p<0.05) lower in BS-, LC-, and SC-IRGS than that in control IRGS. Lactate was significantly (p<0.05) higher, and significantly (p<0.05) butyrate was lower in LC-IRGS than that in other treatments at 0 day. It was higher (p<0.05) in control IRGS than that of BS-, LC-, and SC-IRGS at 1-5 days. In situ DMD tended to increase in BS-, LC-, and SC-IRGS compared to that in control IRGS. Especially, DMD was higher in SC-IRGS than that in other treatments at 0 day. It tended to be higher in LC-IRGS at all incubation time. Taken together, these results suggest that it might be useful to select a microorganism by considering the feeding time of IRGS to ruminants because organic acids and DMD of IRGS were affected by the incubation time of each microorganism with IRG silage, especially for L. casei decreased the content of acetate and butyrate in IRGS.
