This study was conducted to evaluate the changes of pH, dry matter digestibility (DMD), NH3-N concentrate, gas production and volatile fatty acid (VFA) through in vitro fermentation by adding horse feces to various juice pomaces fermented with Bacillus, yeast and lactic acid bacteria. The pH range of fermented fluid with juice pomaces was 6.4-7.1, indicating that the digestion by microbial fermentation was normal. Juice pomaces adopted will be helpfully used to assist with digestion by microbes in intestines because approximately 109 CFU/㎖ microbes were grown after 48 hours in fermented fluid. DMD rate gradually increased from 12 hours. It was 39.19% in pomaces of apple, 38.22% in grape, 37.02% in carrot, 36.2% in citrus and 34.35% in mixture respectively after 48 hours. NH3-N concentrate was not changed significantly as it was maintained at 1.5 mg/100㎖ level in the entire treatment group from beginning of fermentation until 12 hours, but increased rapidly from 24 hours. Amount of gas produced was lowest in the mixture and increased rapidly after 12 hours. Total VFA increased from 24 hours and was highest at 48 hours. It was suggested that dry matter digestion was processed while fermented juice pomaces kept proper pH during in vitro digestion, and cellulose degrading microorganisms could act actively in the caecum and colon of horses.

In vitro fermentation was conducted to figure out alternative fiber sources for horse feed. For the development of value-added products as a horse feed resource, the pomaces from apple, carrot, grape, and citrus were fermented under solid-state conditions in the presence of 60% soybean meal with 40% of each fruit pomace at 60% of moisture content. Lactobacillus plantarum SK3873, Lactobacillus plantarum SK3893, Weissella cibaria SK3880, and Bacillus subtilis SK3889 were isolated from the fermented fruit pomace by inoculation of horse feces. For the growth of Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Lactobacillus plantarum, they were inoculated in 3-step order at 0, 12, and 24 h, respectively. The fruit pomace was fermented for 48 h at 35°C. The pH of the apple, carrot, grape, citrus and all mixed pomaces decreased from 5.45~6.25 to 4.40~4.77. Microbial growth was maintained at 108~109 cfu/g. After 12 and 24 h incubation, dry matter of carrot pomace were highest at 54.84 and 56.66%, respectively (P<0.05) and that of grape pomace was lower than others during fermentation (P<0.05). Dry matter was generally reduced by about 20%. NDF decreased gradually or maintained after 24 h, indicating the fiber degradation. Ash content tended to decrease during fermentation. After 48 hours fermentation, Bacillus, yeast and Lactobacillus showed an excellent growth by using juice by-products. These results suggest that fermented juice pomace has a potential as horse feedstuff with probiotics to maintain beneficial microflora in horse gut.

The objective of this study was to investigate the non-thermal sterilization effect of methods such as high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and UV-irradiation (specifically with regard to the storage stability and shelf-life of carrot juice. The microbial counts of the non-sterilized product increased from 5.51 to 7.34 log CFU/mL up to the fifth day, and then decreased to 5.46 log CFU/mL at six days. UV-irradiation was increased from 2.37 to 4.92 log CFU/mL. HHP was maintained under the 3 log CFU/mL. The pH of UV-irradiation and HHP was maintained withing the range of 6.29~6.30 and 6.20~6.22 during storage. However, the pH arising from non-sterilization decreased from 6.31 to 4.49. The color of non-sterilization changed significantly during storage, but UV-irradiation and HHP were similar during storage. The β- carotene content of non-sterilization was noted to have decreased from 269.45 to 65.19 μg/mL during storage. The UV- irradiation and HHP decreased from 263.46 and 268.35~281.16 μg/mL to 243.42 and 244.09~269.29 μg/mL, respectively. In conclusion, these findings suggest that HHP can be used for the pasteurization, or sterilization, of carrot juice and the optimal condition is two minutes.

Vegetables and fruits contain a great deal of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and phytochemicals. Therefore, healthconcious consumer prefer beverage made from fresh fruits and vegetables due to their health benefits. This study was conducted to investigate differences in nutritional composition and sensory characteristics of juices depending on the apparatus used: either a low-speed juicer or high-speed blender. All ingredients could be made into juice without addition of water using the low speed juicer. However, addition of water was necessary to produce juice with the high-speed blender. Phenol and flavonoid content, were higher in juice made with the low-speed juicer than that produced with the high-speed blender and were correlated with DPPH radical scavenging ability. Protease activity of pineapples juices was not significantly different for the two methods, but protease activity of kiwi juice was about 8 times higher in juice made with low-speed juicer than that made with the high-speed blender. SOD activity also tended to be higher in the juice made with low-speed juicer. The concentration of dissolved oxygen in the juice made with high-speed blender was higher than that of juice made with a low-speed juicer and was correlated with color change. In addition, the high-speed blender caused an increase juice temperature, but temperature was not changed during use of the low-speed juicer. The noise level of the low-speed juicer was low, but the high-speed blender had high noise intensity comparable to that of railway or aircraft noise. In the sensory evaluation of juice, juice made with the low-speed juicer was preferred over juice made with the high-speed blender. As a result, the overall quality of the juice produced using the low-speed juicer was superior.

This study investigates the quality characteristics of sweet persimmon jam added with aronia juice. Sweet persimmon jam was prepared with sweet persimmon, sugar, pectin and various amounts (20, 40, 60, 80%) of aronia juice, and it was assessed for pH, total acidity, color, sensory evaluation and hydrogen donating ability on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging effects and content of the total polyphenols, respectively. Increasing the amount of aronia juice decreased the pH, whereas the total acidity gradually increased. In addition, with an increased amount of aronia juice, the lightness (L) and yellowness (b) significantly decreased, while redness (a) gradually increased. By increasing the amount of aronia juice, the polyphenol contents, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were increased. The results of the sensory evaluation showed that the sweet persimmon jam added with 80% aronia juice had the highest overall-acceptability scores. The results suggest enhancing the quality, palatability and acceptability of sweet persimmon jam by adding 60~80% of aronia juice.

We report the use of carrot, a new and inexpensive biomaterial source, for preparing high quality carbon dots (CDs) instead of semi-conductive quantum dots for bioimaging application. The as-derived CDs possessing down and up-conversion photoluminescence features were obtained from carrot juice by commonly used hydrothermal treatment. The corresponding physiochemical and optical properties were investigated by electron microscopy, fluorescent spectrometry, and other spectroscopic methods. The surfaces of obtained CDs were highly covered with hydroxyl groups and nitrogen groups without further modification. The quantum yield of as-obtained CDs was as high as 5.16%. The cell viability of HaCaT cells against a purified CD aqueous solution was higher than 85% even at higher concentration (700 μg mL−1) after 24 h incubation. Finally, CD cultured cells exhibited distinguished blue, green, and red colors, respectively, during in vitro imaging when excited by three wavelength lasers under a confocal microscope. Offering excellent optical properties, biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, and good cellular imaging capability, the carrot juice derived CDs are a promising candidate for biomedical applications.

Effects of dynamic high-pressure (DHP) treatments with and without integration with heating on microbial stability, vitamin C concentration, color, sugar content, and pH of orange juice were studied and compared with those of the conventional thermal treatment. Freshly squeezed orange juice was heated at 90oC for 1 min or DHP-treated at 205 MPa and 20, 50, 60, or 70oC. The DHP treatment at 20oC without heating and the treatment at 50oC inactivated indigenous mesophilic aerobic microorganisms in orange juice by 4.2 and >7 log CFU/mL, respectively. The DHPtreated juice exhibited brighter color and higher vitamin C concentration and sugar content than the thermally treated juice, regardless of integration with heating. The DHP-treated juice demonstrated brighter color and higher sugar contents than untreated juice and thermally treated juice during storage at 4oC for 63 days. The results have demonstrated the potential of applying DHP treatments to pasteurize orange juice with increasing brightness and sugar content of the juice.

본 연구는 대봉감을 이용한 다양한 가공제품 개발을 목적으로 김치 유산균을 활용하여 발효음료 제조기술을 확립하고, 감의 이용성을 확대하고자 실시하였다. 대봉감과 정제수의 1:3 희석액에 당원으로 쌀엿을 첨가하고, 저온살균한 후 L. buchneri BK-1 유산균으로 발효를 진행하였을 때 총산 생성능이 0.75%로 높고, 유산균 생균수가 1.9×108 CFU/mL 수준으로 많았다. 쌀엿 첨가량이 많을수록 총산도는 증가하였는데, 신맛이 너무 강하지 않은 10 °Brix 수준으로 쌀엿을 첨가하는 것이 기호도 향상에 좋은 것으로 조사되었다. 유산균 종류별 발효 결과, L. buchneri BK-1와 P. inopinatus BK-3 두유산균을 이용하여 발효를 진행함으로써 총산 생성이 0.80~0.83%로 우수하고 유산균 수가 2.7×108~5.1×108 CFU/mL 수준으로 많은 음료를 제조할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 포도즙의 양(0 g, 50 g, 100 g, 150 g, 200 g)을 다르게 첨가하여 포도 양갱을 제조하고, pH, 당도, 색도, 기계적 물성, 총 페놀 함량, DPPH, 관능평가를 실시하였다. 포도양갱의 pH는 포도즙의 첨가량이 증가할수록 pH 값이 낮아지면서 유의적인 차이를 보였으며, 당도는 대조군이 1.47 Brix로 가장 낮게 나타났고, 포도즙 첨가량이 증가할수록 당도가 점점 높아져 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 색도는 명도값(L값)과 황색도(b값)이 포도즙 첨가량이 증가할수록 감소하였으나, 적색도(a값)는 그와 반대로 증가하였다. 물성 측정 결과, 포도즙 첨가가 증가할수록 경도는 증가하는 경향을 보였지만, 탄력성, 응집성, 점착성, 씹힘성은 모두 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 총 페놀 함량은 포도즙 첨가량이 증가할수록 높은 값을 보였으며, DPPH radical 소거능도 총 페놀 측정 결과와 마찬가지로 대조군에서 가장 낮은 활성을 나타내었으며, 포도즙 첨가가 증가할수록 높은 항산화 활성을 보였다. 관능평가 결과, 색, 향, 맛 등의 전체적인 기호도에서 포도즙 150 g 첨가군이 가장 높은 점수를 받았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 항산화 실험에서 포도즙 200 g 첨가군의 결과가 가장 좋았으나, 관능검사 결과, 포도즙 150 g 첨가군을 가장 선호하는 결과를 함께 고려해 볼 때는 포도즙 150 g이 첨가된 양갱시료의 실용화가 바람직 할 것으로 사료된다.

This study has been performed for about 270 days at analyzing biologically hazardous factors in order to develop HACCP system for the non heat-frozen carrot juice. A process chart was prepared by manufacturing process of raw agricultural products of non heat-frozen carrot juice, which was contained water and packing material, storage, washing, cutting, extraction of the juice, internal packing, metal detection, external packing, storage and consignment (delivery). As a result of measuring Coliform group, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., Bacillus cereus, Listeria Monocytogenes, Enterohemorrhagic E. coli before and after washing raw carrot, Standard plate count was 4.7 × 104 CFU/g before washing but it was 1.2 × 102 CFU/g detected after washing. As a result of testing airborne bacteria (Standard plate count, Coliform group, Yeast and Fungal) depending on each workplace, number of microorganism of in packaging room, shower room and juice extraction room was detected to be 10 CFU/Plate, 60 CFU/Plate, 20 CFU/Plate, respectively. As a result of testing palm condition of workers, as number of Standard plate count, Coliform group and Staphylococcus aureus was represented to be high as 6 × 104 CFU/cm2, 0 CFU/cm2 and 0 CFU/cm2, respectively, an education and training for individual sanitation control was considered to be required. As a result of inspecting surface pollution level of manufacturing facility and devices, Coliform group was not detected in all the specimen but Standard plate count was most dominantly detected in scouring kier, scouring kier tray, cooling tank, grinding extractor, storage tank and packaging machine-nozzle as 8.00×10 CFU/cm2, 3.0 × 10 CFU/cm2, 4.3 × 102 CFU/cm2, 7.5 × 102 CFU/cm2, 6.0 × 10 CFU/cm2, 8.5 × 102 CFU/cm2, respectively. As a result of analyzing above hazardous factors, processing process of ultraviolet ray sterilizing where pathogenic bacteria may be prevented, reduced or removed is required to be controlled by CCP-B (Biological) and critical level (critical control point) was set at flow speed is 4L/min. Therefore, it is considered that thorough HACCP control plan including control criteria (point) of seasoning fluid processing process, countermeasures in case of its deviation, its verification method, education/training and record control would be required.

The objective of this study was to determine the quality characteristics of cabbage juice fermented by lactic acid bacteria from Kimchi (Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus sakei SL1103, Lactobacillus plantarum LS5, and mixed starter). Cabbage juice was inoculated with lactic acid bacteria and fermented at 30 for 72 hrs. Changes in lactic acid bacteria number, pH, titratable acidity, Brix, and color during fermentation were analyzed. After fermentation for 24 hrs, cabbage juice fermented by mixed starter showed the highest number of lactic acid bacteria (9.45 log CFU/mL). The pH of all cabbage juice also decreased to 3.88~4.19 sharply, while cabbage juice fermented by Lac. sakei SL1103 showed the highest Brix (8.38˚Bx). Cabbage juice fermented by mixed starter showed the highest L value (56.83). In the sensory evaluation, cabbage juice fermented by a mixed starter (Leu. mesenteroides, Lac. sakei SL1103, and Lac. plantarum LS5) showed the highest preferences in taste, flavor, and overall acceptability. Therefore, cabbage juice fermented by mixed starter (Leu. mesenteroides, Lac. sakei SL1103 and Lac. plantarum LS5) has the highest potential for the development of fermented cabbage juice as an excellent bioactive functional food.

In this study, we investigated the quality characteristics and the sensory evaluation for madeleine added with peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) juice. The pH and specific volume of madeleine were decreased with increase of peach juice, whereas the moisture and loss rate were increased. In the color of madeleine crust, L and b value were decreased with increase of peach juice, and these results showed significant differences compared to control(p<0.05). The other hand, the colors of madeleine crumb showed less significant changes compared to the control. On texture of madeleine with increase of peach juice, the hardness, chewiness, gumminess and cohesiveness were increased, whereas the adhesiveness was decreased. In the sensory evaluation with taste, color, flavor and overall preference, the madeleine with 20%(w/w) peach juice showed the highest value. Consequently, these results should provide the possibile use of peach processing in bakery industry because the addition of peach juice enhanced the quality and sensory characteristics of madeleine.
