The purpose of this study was to evaluate the improved antioxidant activity of Aronia extract fermented by lactic acid bacteria isolated from fermented seafoods. Aronia fruits were collected from Sunchang, Chonbuk, South Korea. And these collected fruits were lyophilized for fermentation. For the selection of effective lactic acid bacteria useful for fermentation. Aronia fermented by lactic acid bacteria that isolated from fermented seafood was extracted with 60% ethanol. Antioxidant activity of Aronia extract was evaluated on the DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol contents were studied. To determine the optimal fermentation conditions, the changes of antioxidant efficacy was evaluated by controlling temperature (25, 30, 37, $40^{\circ}C$), Time (0~5 day) and inoculation dose of lactic acid bacteria (0.125~0.5ml). To confirm the antioxidative effect of Aronia fermented under optimal conditions, the DPPH & ABTS radical scavenging activity, total polyphenol & flavonoid contents were compared before and after fermentation were studied. 16 different kinds of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from fermented seafood, and of which antioxidant activity of Aronia fermented by Pediococcus pentosaceus B1 was maximum. Aronia fermentation at $37^{\circ}C$ was maximized when fermented for 3 days and fermentation time is decreased as the start inoculation amount of lactic acid bacteria increased. The degree of increase in antioxidant activity after Aronia fermentation is that DPPH & ABTS radical scavenging activity was increased about 27%, 20% and total polyphenols & flavonoids contents was increased about 12%, 15%. In the result of this experiment indicated that fermentation process enhances the antioxidant efficacy of Aronia.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different growing regions on quality characteristics, total bioactive compound contents, and in vitro antioxidant activity in aronia. Aronia grown in 3 different regions (Sangjoo, Ulju, and Youngcheon) in Korea was obtained and used fresh or as a freeze-dried powder. No statistically significant differences were observed for moisture, ash, crude lipid, and crude protein contents in aronia sampled from the 3 different regions. Aronia grown in Sangjoo had the highest total acid content and the lowest sugar content and pH value. Conversely, aronia grown in Youngcheon possessed the lowest total acid content and the highest sugar content and pH value. Aronia grown in Sangjoo possessed relatively high levels of polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins, as well as high antioxidant activity in comparison with aronia produced in other regions. Aronia grown in Youngcheon scored the highest for taste and overall acceptability in sensory evaluations, which may be related to the high sugar content and pH, and the low total acidity of the fruits. It is possible that higher sugar contents and pH, and lower total acidity in the aronia grown in Youngcheon result in more preferable sensory characteristics. However, they also contain relatively low levels of total polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins, and have low antioxidant activity as measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging assays.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of jujube wines produced from various fruits (Campbell Early, aronia, apply). Before the preparation of jujube wine, jujube juice was extracted using hot water ($100^{\circ}C$, 2 hr). Different blends of jujube wines were produced by blending jujube juice with various fruits using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After 18 days of fermentation, the alcohol content of jujube wines ranged between 11.5~12.7%. The pH of the wine ranged from 3.31 to 3.53 and the total acid content from 0.47 to 0.68%. The hue value of jujube wines ranged from 0.88 to 2.21 and the color intensity ranged from 0.93 to 6.29. The brightness of jujube wines ranged from 32.35 to 92.47, the redness from 0.85 to 59.05, and the yellowness from 17.35 to 51.02. By combining aronia with jujube juice, a significant increase in the total polyphenol content and the antioxidant activity (the DPPH radical scavenging activity) of the wine was observed. The total polyphenol content (401.77 mg%) and the antioxidant activity (76.29%) were the highest in the jujube wine blended with aronia. The total anthocyanin content of jujube wines ranged from 81.66 to 135.98 mg% and the tannic acid content from 42.48 to 316.36 mg%. Based on the results of the present study, we suggest that jujube wine produced by blending jujube juice with aronia had excellent quality as well as quality characteristics of the wine.

This study was conducted to determine the optimal conditions of acetic acid fermentation of aronia using the response surface methodology (RSM). Alcohol content of aronia wine was 13.1% after alcohol fermentation of aronia fruits. The optimal conditions of acetic acid fermentation were determined by five levels of initial aronia alcohol content, initial acetic acid content, and acetic acid bacteria, using the central composite design. The acetic acid yields, residual alcohol contents, pH, and color values (L, a, b) of acetic acid fermentation products were very significantly different ($p{\leq}0.01$), and were 26.34~57.82 g/L, 0.80~1.53%, 3.19~3.43, 47.58~71.00, 31.77~51.15, and 18.45~48.57, respectively. For the results, the optimal conditions of acetic acid fermentation of aronia were 7.78% of the initial alcohol concentration, 1.58% of the initial acetic acid, and 19.39% of the acetic acid bacteria.

Aronia (black chokeberry), a species of berries is source to a very large number of bioactive compounds like polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and tannins in comparison to any other species. Owing to its antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. Fermentation- a bioconversion process exploiting the biological metabolic reaction of micro-organisms, has several benefits like improving the efficacy and safety of physiologically active substances, generation of new functional material, improving the adsorption rate and many others. Antigens like pathogens, food, pollen etc., generate a protective immune response in body tissues, and the process be referred to as inflammation. However, this when excessive results in a condition referred to as refractory inflammatory disease, whose incidence is increasing in the recent times, especially amongst children. The current study intended to assess the anti-oxidant activity, presence of polyphenols and anti-inflammatory efficacy of Aronia extract fermented by Lactic acid bacteria isolated from fermented sea foods. Aronia fruits collected from Sunchang, Chonbuk were lyophilized for fermentation. So as to maximise the efficacy of the fermented Aronia extract, the quantitative effects of lactic acid bacteria species, composition of extraction solution, influence of temperature and time on antioxidant activity and total polyphenol contents were investigated using an experimental design. Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated on NO and cytokine ($TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6) production in LPS activated Raw 264.7 cells. Results indicated that antioxidant effect and total polyphenol contents were best improved in extract of Aronia fermented by P. pentosaceus. In addition, NO and cytokine ($TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6) levels were decreased significantly after fermentation. Thus, it was found that the anti-inflammatory activity of Aronia greatly increased after fermentation process using P. pentosaceus.

Melon is a fruit consumed and grown globally because of the sweet taste and pleasant aroma. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of melon jams added with various fruits such as apple, aronia, blueberry, grape, kiwi, passion fruit, and peach. We determined quality characteristics such as pH, total acidity, antioxidant activity, content of total anthocyanin, polyphenol and tannin, respectively. The 100% melon jam as the control was the highest pH and lowest total acidity, whereas mixed jams with melon and passion fruit showed opposite results. The mixed jams with melon and aronia of the total anthocyanin, the polyphenol contents, tannin, and ABTS radical scavenging activities, were markedly higher than those of the control and other samples (p<0.001), followed by the mixed jams with melon and blueberry. In the taste sensing analysis, mixed jams with melon and passion fruit revealed higher richness and lower aftertaste-bitterness and aftertaste-astringency than the commercial strawberry jam and other samples. Thus, jams mixed with various fruits, in particular, aronia, blueberry, and passion fruit were superior to the 100% melon jam in terms of physiological activity and palatability.

토양수분의 변화가 블랙쵸크베리 'Nero'의 과실 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 고품질 블랙쵸크베리 재배 연구의 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 토양수분 감소로 인한 건조스트레스는 수확기 동안 블랙쵸크베리의 과실의 과중, 당도, 안토시아닌 함량 등의 품질을 저하시켰다. 또한 건조기간이 길수록 이후 토양수분 공급시, 과실 표피 세포 크기는 감소하는 반면 아표피, 과육 세포의 크기가 증가하여 열과를 유발할 수 있다. 따라서 관수시설을 통한 일정 주기의 관수가 블랙쵸크베리 과실 생산량 및 품질 향상을 위해 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Cheonggukjang pills with aronia and blueberries on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. There have been several reports that Cheonggukjang is effective for intestinal health, but the efficacy of Cheonggukjang containing fruits has not yet been reported. In this study, we showed the effect of cheonggukjang pills with blueberries and aronia (CPBA) on DSS-induced colitis in BALB/c mice. CPBA was obtained from Soonchang Moonokae foods and orally administered once a day for 2 weeks before DSS treatment. Colitis was induced in mice by feeding 5% (w/v) DSS drinking water for 7 days. The results showed that CPBA treatment significantly alleviated DSS-induced disease activity index associated with a decrease in colon length. CPBA improved DSS-induced histological changes and intestinal epithelial barrier integrity in mice colon. In addition, CPBA administration significantly reduced the levels of DSS-mediated interferon-γ and interleukin-6 in serum and tumor necrosis factor-α in colon tissue. Moreover, the gene expression of COX-2 and iNOS, which are factors involved in inflammatory signaling, was significantly reduced by CPBA treatment. These results suggest that CPBA have a protective effect against DSS-induced mice colitis and may be a candidate for colitis treatment.
