A tissue cultured wild ginseng (TCWG) suspension was inoculated with lactic acid bacteria and fermented to improve the functionality of TCWG. The utilization of TCWG was increased directly using the freeze-dried powder. The optimal ratio of TCWG powder and water for fermentation was 1:19 (5%), which was selected by measuring the fluidity and viable cell count according to concentration. The effects on ADH activation and immune cell activation by each ferments with 10 kinds of Lactobacillus sp. strains were examined. The ferments with the Lactobacillus casei KFRI 692 strain showed 5.4 times higher ADH activity and 1.3 times higher ALDH activity than the non-fermented TCWG powder (control). The level of NO production and cytotoxicity was also measured by Raw 264.7 cells. The ferment with the Lac. casei KFRI 692 strain showed the highest level of NO production and lower cytotoxicity than the others. Therefore, the Lac. casei KFRI 692 strain was selected as a strain for fermentation of a TCWG suspension to maximize its functionality. To identify the optimal fermentation time of the selected Lac. casei KFRI 692 strain on the 5% TCWG suspension, the viable cell count of lactic acid bacterial and the changes in pH were observed for 72 hours. 24-hrs was found to be the optimal fermentation time. In this way, fermented TCWG with lactic acid bacteria showed higher ADH activation efficacy and immune cell activation than non-fermented TCWG.

For the purpose of production of GABA-rich tomato paste, this study was carried out to investigate GABA producing lactic acid bacteria from Korean traditional fermented food, Kimchi and optimize the culture conditions. As a result of fermentation, Lactobacillus brevis B3-20 among lactic acid bacteria isolated at the pre-experiments was the best producer of GABA at the tomato paste medium with 50%(wet-base) levels of dionized water. At the result of fermentation on the tomato paste medium with 0.5%(w/w) yeast extract, as a source of nitrogen, 3%(w/w) MSG(monosodium glutamate) and dionized water(the ratio of tomato paste and water was 2:8), Lb. brevis B3-20 produced the maximum GABA concentration, 143.38 mM. GABA-rich tomato paste showed the activity of free radical scavenging. Because GABA-rich tomato paste have functional ingredients such as ascorbic acid, lycopene, carotenoid, as well as GABA by lactic acid bacteria fermentation, GABA-rich tomato paste can be considered high functional materials.

To investigate the effect of sourdough on the characteristics of quality of barley bread, sourdough starter with Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus sanfrancisco and Enterococcus sp. were added to baking after 48 hours incubation at 37℃. 1. The pH of bread using Lactobacillus sanfrancisco starter was the lowest among tested starters. while the titratable acidity(TTA) of the strain was the highest, followed by Enterococcus sp.. 2. In bread, moisture contents of control were 38%. It was decreased during 6 days. The moisture contents of bread using Lactobacillus sanfrancisco starter were the highest among tested starters, followed by Enterococcus sp.. 3. Oneset temperature(To), peak temperature(Tp) and enthalphy (δH) were increased during storage of 6 days. The enthalphy of bread using Lactobacillus sanfrancisco starter was the lowest among tested starters, followed by Enterococcus sp..

A Lactic acid bacterium for barley bread was isolated from barley powder and was identified as Enterococcus sp. It was used as a starter for barley bread and quality of bread was compared with the bread prepared by conventional starter 1. The pH of bread making process using Lactobacillus sanfrancisco starter was the lowest among tested starters. while the titratable acidity(TTA) of the strain was the highest, followed by Enterococcus sp.. 2. In valorimeter value(v/v), control was 70, but dough using all starter was 60. The peak time and stability of dough using Lactobacillus sanfrancisco were the highest among tested starters. 3. Extensibility of dough using Enterococcus sp. was the highest among tested starters, followed by Lactobacillus sanfrancisco. Proper extensibility and maximum resistance were observed in Lactobacillus sanfrancisco.

The bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus sp. GM7311 was purified by sequential steps including n-propanol/acetone treatment, CM-cellulose chromatography, and gel filtration on Sephacryl HR-100. The relative activity of bacteriocin increased 493-fold after final purification step with a recovery of 8.3%. Two protein bands of ca. 8,200 and 2,500 were detected by SDS-PAGE of bacteriocin purified through CM-cellulose and sephacryl HR-100 chromatography and both of them had bacteriocin activity.

This study was carried out to get basic resources for the industrial use of Lactobacillus bulgaricus SP5. The antibacterial activity of the supernatant obtained from Lactobacillus bulgaricus SP5 was tested against the pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli KCCM 11234, Salmonella enteritidis KCCM 3313, Salmonella enteritidis KCCM 12021, and Salmonella typhimurium KCCM 40253. The supernatant of L. bulgaricus SP5 showed antibacterial activity against tested pathogenic bacteria. The antibacterial activity was examined after adjusting pH and heat treatment of supernatant. Heat treatment of supernatant had antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria at all temperature. However, pH changes showed no antibacterial activity. Antibacterial activity of the supernatant was confirmed to be due to organic acids (lactic, acetic, phosphoric, succinic, pyroglutamic, citric, malic, and formic acid).
