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

This study analyzed population density changes and taxonomic characteristics of various microorganisms, which play important roles in culture medium fermentation of Agaricus bisporus and examined changes in decompositionrelated enzyme activity secreted by these microorganisms. Various microorganisms such as thermophilic bacteria, actinomycetes, fluorescent pseudomonas spp. and filamentous bacteria are closely related to culture medium fermentation of Agaricus bisporus. The population density of these microorganisms changes and harmful bacteria disappear during thermophilic fermentation. During outdoor fermentation, Psychrobacter sp., Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp. and Pseudoxanthomonas sp. showed the highest percentage distribution in the different culture medium while Bacillus sp. and Psychrobacillus sp. were the most dominant after pasteurization. When analyzing the enzyme activity of microorganism during rice straw fermentation, cellulose enzymes become important at the early stage of fermentation. Increase in hemicellulose enzyme follows after decomposing carbon sources. The microorganisms that secretes these enzymes were distributed at the second and third turning stage of fermentation.
