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.

당근을 소재로 한 기능성 발효음료 개발을 위한 기초연구의 하나로 당근주스에 당을 첨가하고 Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCCM 11215를 접종하여 알코올발효를 진행시켜 당근와인을 제조한 후, 종초 Acetobacter pasterianus A8을 접종하여 초산발효를 유도하는 단행복발효 공정으로 정치 배양하여 당근식초 발효를 시도하였다. 6%의 알코올을 함유하는 당근와인에 종초를 5% 부피비율로 접종하고 30℃에서 20일간 정치 배양하는 것을 최적조건으로 하였을 때 산도 6.2%의 당근식초 제조가 가능하였다. 생산된 당근식초는 122.47mg%의 유리아미노산을 함유하고 있었으며, 당근식초의 유기산 조성은 aceticacid 55g/L, pyruvic acid 4.5g/L, citric acid 0.45g/L 및 maleic acid 0.05g/L이었다. 당근식초는 1.43mg/L의 베타-카로틴을 함유하고 있었으며 몇 가지 시판식초에 비해 폴리페놀(478.89mg/L)을 다량 함유하여 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성, ABTS 라디칼 소거활성, FRAP assay으로 표현되는 높은 항산화활성을 나타냈다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 당근식초는 조리용은 물론 기능성 음료로서 이용이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 국내 실정에 맞는 적정 TDN/CP 비율을 결정하기 위하여 4.6:1(T1)과 4.3:1(T2)의 비율로 생후 13개월령 육성우에게 급여하여 영양소 섭취량, 소화율, 반추 위액 특성 및 혈액조성에 대하여 조 사하였다. 건물 섭취량은 9.0kg/day로 동일하였으며, 조단백질 섭취량은 T1이 1.34kg/day, T2가 1.45kg/day로 T2가 조금 높았으나 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 섬유소 섭취량과 소화율은 T1이 조금 높은 경향을 보였으나 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 사료 섭취 후 4시간째 위액의 pH, ammonia-N, VFA 농도 를 비교한 결과 처리구간 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 전반적인 VFA 수치는 TDN/CP 비율에 따 라 큰 영향이 없었으나 T1 처리구에서 iso-butyrate, iso-valerate 및 A/P ratio가 유의적으로 높은 결과를 보였다(p<0.05). 혈액 특성에는 처리구간 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. TDN/CP 비율이 4.3:1과 4.6:1 수준은 반추위 특성에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았지만, 소화율과 비교하였을 때 생후 13개월 령 육성우 시기에는 섬유소 섭취량과 소화율이 증가되는 4.6:1 수준이 보다 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

In Western countries, kimchi, the Korean traditional fermented cabbage, is considered to be a healthy. However, it is one of the main sources of the high sodium content of the Korean diet. In order to decrease the sodium content, we manufactured a low-sodium kimchi (LK, salinity 1.0%) and 4 additional low-sodium kimchi starters in which each of 4 lactic acid bacteria (Lb. sakei 1, Lb. sakei 2, Lb. palntarum and W. koreensis) were added. The LKL1 to LKL4 samples were prepared by adding 4 single LAB starters, each with an inoculum size of 106 CFU/g, when the cabbage was mixed with kimchi sauce. The kimchi starters were fermented at 10℃ until reaching 0.5% acidity, and then stored at －1.5℃ until reaching 0.75% acidity. The pH and acidity of the starter kimchi changed more rapidly in the early phase of fermentation (up to 0.75% acidity) than control low-sodium kimchi. After the acidity of the kimchi starters reached 0.75% it remained constant. As the fermentation progressed, the total aerobic and lactic acid bacteria concentrations in the kimchi starter with added Lb. sakei 1 were the same as in the control low-sodium kimchi. The low-sodium kimchi fermentation of the kimchi starter with added Lb. palntarum progressed differently due to a difference in acid resistance. The kimchi starter with added Lb. sakei 2 had an overall liking score that was slightly higher than that of the control low-sodium kimchi due to a lower off-flavor

Nutritional composition and physicochemical properties changes in mustard leaf kimchi were investigated during fermentation of up to 3 months. The pH decreased, and the titratable acidity gradually increased according to increase of fermentation periods. Fructose and glucose were the major free sugars in mustard leaf kimchi, and their amounts were significantly decreased with fermentation periods (p<0.05). Lactic acid content showed a significant increase with maximum increase at 3 months. All types of kimchi contained 20 amino acids, but the content of most amino acid fluctuated during fermentation. Except for K and Zn, the content of other ingredients including Ca, Fe, Mg, Na, Se were the highest in kimchi fermented for 2 months. The unsaturated fatty acid of mustard leaf kimchi was higher than that of saturated fatty acid, and total fatty acid of kimchi significantly decreased after 2 months (p<0.05). Most vitamin contents showed a tendency to decrease with fermentation, in particular, vitamin B complex except for B2 significantly decreased after 3 months (p<0.05). The results provide fundamental data for determining the appropriate fermentation period to improve the quality of kimchi.

This study aimed to evaluate the quality characteristics of Gastrodia elata Blume fermented by lactic acid bacteria after saccharifying by 3 methods including enzyme, malt, and rice-nuruk. The lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Pediococcus inopinatus BK-3, isolated from kimchi could reduce the unpleasant taste and odor of Gastrodia elata Blume. The total acidity value of Gastrodia elata fermented by LAB on the malt and rice-nuruk extract solution for 3 days was 2.23% and 2.33%, respectively. After saccharification by malt and rice-nuruk extract solution for 3 days, the viable cell number of fermented Gastrodia elata was 9.14 log cfu/mL and 9.27 log cfu/mL, respectively. The total acidity values were increased above 3.35% by malt and rice-nuruk extract solution for 8 days. Thus, the viable cell number was the highest by malt and rice-nuruk extract solution fermentation for 3 days. The amino acid content of Gastrodia elata fermented by LAB after saccharification by malt extract solution was higher than that of other saccharifying methods. The free sugar content and p-hydroxybenzyl derivatives induced by the enzyme method were higher than those of other saccharifying methods. The overall acceptability was the highest at 4.2 point in Gastrodia elata fermented by malt extract solution.

Makgeolli is rich in nutrients such as beneficial microbial species, essential amino acids, oligosaccharides, and organic acids. The lactic acid bacteria contained in Makgeolli provides a healthy function as probiotics for customers. The purpose of this study was to enhance the nutritional properties, lactic acid bacteria propagation and alcohol contents of makgeolli by controlling redox potential balance. An automatic control system was created using ORP sensor, Labview control kit, and air supplier, in which air concentration was controlled by on & off mode. Makgeolli was fermented at three different redox potentials -50 mV, -100 mV, -150 mV. Regulating of aeration according to the redox potentials could give prominence to nutritional benefits of Makgeolli. The profiles of redox potential appeared bathtub curves, and related to lactic acid bacteria growth curve and byproducts. We could find the optimum redox potential balance that affects the factors such as LAB’s, alcohol contents and byproducts. In conclusion it was essential to control redox potential balance in order to produce nutrients rich Makgeolli.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of antiprotozoal plant extracts on in vitro ruminal fermentation and methane emission. Ruminal contents were collected from two ruminally-fistulated steers (Average BW: 450±30 kg) consuming 60% Timothy hay and 40% concentrate with free access to water and mineral block. Plant extracts, Lonicera japonica, Torreya nucifera, Zanthoxylum schinifolium, Poncirus trifoliate and Citrus junos, which have been known to have antiprotozoal and antiparasitic effects were added (5% of substrate) to the in vitro ruminal fermentation bottles containing the mixture of rumen fluid and McDougall’s buffer. The McDougall buffer (1000 ml) and ruminal inoculums (500 ml) were combined and 20 ml added to the 50 ml fermentation vessels containing 300 mg of substrate (DM basis). The fermentation vessels were placed in an incubator at 39°C for 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h with shaking. Plant extracts addition was decreased (p<0.05) acetate:propionate compared with control except with T. nucifera addition. Total gas production was increased (p<0.05), whereas methane emission was decreased (p<0.05) by all plant extracts compared with control at 12 h incubation. Methane emission at 24 h incubation was decreased for Lonicera japonica, Torreya nucifera, and Zanthoxylum schinifolium compared with control as well. In addition, methanogenic archaea was decreased (p<0.05) by all plant extracts at the 12 h incubation. These results indicate that the plant extracts may decrease methane emission by inhibiting methanogenesis without the decrease of total gas production in 12 h in vitro ruminal fermentation. Therefore, plant extracts which have the antiprotozoal effect may be promising feed additives for ruminants as a methane inhibitor

본 연구는 잠재적인 생균제제 Lactobacillus plantarum P1201을 이용하여 갈색콩 두유의 젖산발효 중 이화학적 특성, 총 phenolics, isoflavone 함량 및 항산화 활성 변화를 연구하였다. 갈색콩 두유는 발효가 진행됨에 따라 pH가 최종 4.03으로 감소하였으며, 이에 따라 총산이 증가하여 발효 후(60시간) 1.03%를 나타내었다. 생균수 역시 11.55log cfu/g으로 발효 과정 중 점차적으로 증가하였다. 총 phenolics 함량은 발효 전 2.87mg/g에서 발효 후 2.98mg/g으로 약간 증가하였다. Isoflavoneglycosides 및 -malonylglycosides 형태는 감소하였고 -aglycones 형태는 증가하였다. 특히 발효 초 기 isoflavone-aglycones 함량은 38.30μg/g에서 증가하여 발효 36시간째 84.31μg/g으로 최대치를 나 타내었고 이후에는 감소하였다. 발효 36시간째 isoflavone-aglycones 형태인 daidzein, glycitein 및 genistein의 함량은 각각 24.12μg/g, 25.25μg/g 및 24.71μg/g이었다. 한편 DPPH 및 ABTS 라디칼 소 거활성 및 환원력은 발효 중 서서히 증가하였다.

본 연구에서는 육상양식장에서 배출되는 부산물의 자원화 방안으로 뱀장어 양식장에서 배출되는 고형오 물에 미강, 탈지대두박과 같은 식품 부산물을 첨가하여 유산균, 황국균, 고초균을 단계적으로 접종하여 발 효시킨 발효사료의 성분 변화를 측정하였다. 발효사료의 제조 단계별 수분함량은 유산균을 이용한 1단 발 효물 14.6%, 황국균과 고초균을 이용한 2단, 3단 발효물은 각각 33.0%와 34.0% 였다. pH는 1단 발효물 에서는 유산균에 의한 젖산의 분비로 인해 5.38로 나타났으며 2단, 3단 발효물은 각 5.66과 7.26으로 측 정되어 pH가 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 피트산의 함량은 1단 발효물은 0.126g/100g, 2단 발효물은 0.004g/100g, 3단 발효물은 0.093g/100g으로 나타나는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 질소 함량을 측정한 결 과 아미노태질소 함량은 2단 발효물이 1226.37mg%로 높았고, 3단 발효물에서 710.18mg%로 다소 감소 하였으며, 암모니아태질소 함량은 1단 발효물 0.988mg/kg에서 3단 발효물 1.502mg/kg로 증가되었다. 총질소 함량은 1단 발효물 2.78%와 2단 발효물 4.08% 그리고 3단 발효물 4.85%로 증가되었다. 3가지 미생물로 연속적인 발효가 진행될수록 피트산은 감소하고 단백질 분해율이 높아지는 경향이 나타났고 3 단 발효에 의해 저분자 질소성분 함량이 증가한 것으로 미루어 소화 흡수성이 높은 사료화가 진행됨을 추측할 수 있다.
