To investigate the effect of flour brew with bifidobacteria on bread characteristics, flour brew with bifidobacteria was added to baking after 16 hour incubation at 37oC. The more addition of flour brew, the higher gassing power, the better machinality of dough were obtained, resulting in the larger specific volume of bread. Flavor profile analyzed by Electronic Nose System showed that flavor components of 30% flour brew were decreased comparing with those of control and there was shown definite difference in sensory characteristics between them. Staling studies of bread containing flour brew indicated had a definite effect in retarding the staling rate of bread, with time constant calculated in 30% treatment being 3.09 days and in control being 2.08 days. The enthalphy of gelatinization was decreased from 2.51J/g to 0.61J/g with increment of flour brew, suggesting that starch crystallization is delayed. conclusion, Flour brew fermented by bifidobacteria can be used as a natural bread improver with so many benefits as better machinality, one more day storage period, slower staling rate, better bread volume and more appealing bread flavor.

The object of this study was to investigate the effects of blanching and lactic acid bacterial inoculation on the quality of kimchi. The pHs of the group added Leuconostoc mesenteroides were rapidly decreased, and then kept almost steady states. However, the pHs of the groups added Bifidobacterium bifidum were gradually decreased. Blanching treatment reduced the number of viable cells. At the beginning of the fermentation, the total organic acid contents of the blanched groups were lower than those of the non-blanched groups, but later on they were higher. With fermentation, the contents of malic, citric and fumaric acid were decreased in the control group, but increased in the cultured groups and all blanched groups. The cutting forces of the blanched groups were higher than those of the non-blanched groups during the whole fermentation period. The inoculation of Leu. mesenteroides was effective on the preservation of ascorbic acid. Blanching and the inoculation of Leu. mesenteroides gave good effect on the sensory acceptability. The acceptability of the groups added Bifidobacterium bifidum was low in initial fermentation period, but increased during the late fermentation period.

Mugwort was successively fractionated with n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water and the fractions were evaluated by their growth-promoting activites for Bifidobacterium sp. in vitro experiments. The growths of Bifidobacterium adolescentis, B. bifidum, B. infantis and B.longum were enhanced with the addition of the water fraction, while the fractions of chloroform and ethylacetate inhibited Clostridium perfringens. When the wate fraction was added to media at a concentration of 0.01-0.5%(w/v), the growhts of Bifidobacterium sp. were increased according to the concentration of water fraction used. The water fraction stimulated also the growth of lactobacillus acidophillus, whereas those of E. coli and Enterococcus faecalis were not affected. The growth-promoting activity of water fraction was stable at the range of pH 2 to pH 10 and kept in thermal treatment at 10$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes.

1,4-Dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA) is a bifidogenic growth stimulator (BGS) and could be a functional food ingredient since bifidobacteria are beneficial for human health. For that reason, lactic acid bacteria producing DHNA have been screened. A lactic acid bacterium LP1 strain isolated from a natural cheese was confirmed to produce DHNA, analyzed by a HPLC method. The strain was identified as Lactobacillus casei by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The cell-free supernatant of fermented whey produced by L. casei LP1 presented the BGS activity for three bifidobacterial strains such as Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis KCTC 3127, Bifidobacterium bifidum KCTC 3202, and Bifidobacterium breve KCTC 3220 which were human-originated. To the best of our knowledge, a L. casei strain which can produce DHNA was firstly identified in this study.

Bifidobacteria have been known as beneficial inhabitant of human intestine. Therefore, bifidobacteria began to be noticed as a starter in the manufacture of fermented dairy products. Perhaps the key for effective use of bifidobacteria in commercial dairy products is the maintenance of viability of bifidobacteria during large scale preparation of starter culture and distribution of products. So we tried to obtain the bifidobacteria having suitable characteristics for using as a starter in the manufacture of fermented dairy products. Among bifidobacteria isolated from Korean, E-4 strain showed the highest resistance to oxygen. To know whether the selected strain will be fit for manufacture of fermented dairy products, we also investigated resistance of the selected strain to HCI. The selected strain, E-4, was more resistant to environmental stresses such as oxygen, H2O2 and HCI than Bifidobacterium longum known as resistant strain to environmental stresses. According to carbohydrate fermentation patterns and morphological characteristics, E-4 strain was identified as B. bifidum. In conclusion, the selected strain, E-4, was thought to be fit for manufacture of fermented dairy products.

S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) exerts several beneficial effects on depression, chronic diseases, and cognitive impairments. Bifidobactrium bifidum BGN4 reportedly produces higher amounts of SAM than any other lactic acid bacterium used in yogurt. The aim of this study was to develop a SAM-reinforced probiotic yogurt using Bifidobacterium. The sensory aspects of the yogurt via response surface methodology (RSM) and the texture and SAM content of the yogurt were assessed. Based on the sensory assessments for sweetness, sourness, and thickness evaluated by 48 panelists, the optimized conditions for preparation of SAM-reinforced yogurt were 4.0-4.4%(w/w) sugar, 3.2-3.5%(w/w) skim milk, and a pH of 4.7-4.8. The SAM content of the developed yogurt was 0.05 nmol/mL. In conclusion, SAM-reinforced probiotic yogurt may provide a vehicle for the potential exploitation of the benefits of increased dietary SAM.

이 연구는 Whey배지에 Whey protein concentrate 80% (WPC-80)와 Whey protein isolate(WPI)를 첨가하여 B. bifidum Bb-11의 생장촉진효과를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 또 이 단백질들의 구성성분인 $\alpha$-Lactalbumin과 $\beta$-Lactogluburin을 trypsin으로 처리하여 얻어진 분해물을 분자량에 따라 분획하여 각 분획별로 그 효과를 구명하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. WPC 첨가에 의한 효과는 대조구에 비하여 생장촉진효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으나, 첨가농도에 따른 차이는 근소하였다. WPI는 뚜렷한 생장촉진효과를 보여주지 못하였으며, 첨가량이 많을수록 생장이 억제되었다. 두 종류의 유청단백질을 4$0^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 동안 trypsin처리한 후 UF처리에 의하여 분획하고 각 분획들을 Centricon-30 으로 농축한 후, 얻어진 $\alpha$-lactalbumin 분해물 3분획에 대한 단백질농도는 각각 11.63mg, 7.79mg 및 5.21mg 이었고, $\beta$-Lactoglubulin 분해물 3분획은 각각 4.12mg, 5.30 mg 및 9.35mg 이었다. $\alpha$-Lactalbumin분해물 세 분획 모두 대조구에 비하여 높은 생장촉진효과를 나타내었으며, 그중에서 분자량 10,000~3,000Da(F-II)과 3,000Da 이하(F-III)의 두 분획이 모두 높게 나타난 것으로 보아, 분자량 10,000Da 이하의 peptide들이 bifidobacteria의 생장을 향상시키는 것으로 밝혀졌다. $\beta$-Lactoglubulin 분해물 세 분획들도 대조구에 비하여 생장이 좋게 나타났다. 분자량 10,000Da 이하의 peptide를 함유하는 두 분획은 생장이 우수하였으며 배양 24 시간후에는 분자량 3,000Da 이상의 두 분획(F-I, F-II)이 대조구에 비하여 빠르게 생장이 저하된 반면, 분자량 3,000 Da이하의 분획(F-III)에서는 계속적인 생장촉진효과를 보여주었다.

Chemotherapy regimens for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have various adverse effects on the human body. For this reason, probiotics have received attention regarding their potential value as a safe and natural complementary strategy for cancer prevention. This study analyzed the anticancer effects of aqueous extracts of probiotic bacteria Bifidobacterium bifidum (BB), Bifidobacterium longum (BL), Bifidobacterium lactis (BLA), Bifidobacterium infantis 1 (BI1), and Bifidobacterium infantis 2 (BI2) on NSCLC cell lines. When the aqueous extracts of probiotic Bifidobacterium species were applied to the NSCLC cell lines A549, H1299, and HCC827, cell death increased considerably; in particular, the aqueous extracts from BB and BLA markedly reduced cell proliferation. p38 phosphorylation induced by BB aqueous extract increased the expression of cleaved caspase 3 and cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), consequently inducing the apoptosis of A549 and H1299 cells. When the p38 inhibitor SB203580 was applied, phosphorylation of p38 decreased, and the expression of cleaved caspase 3 and cleaved PARP was also inhibited, resulting in a reduction of cell death. In addition, BB aqueous extracts reduced the secretion of MMP-9, leading to inhibition of cancer cell invasion. By contrast, after transfection of short hairpin RNA shMMP-9 (for a knockdown of MMP-9) into cancer cells, BB aqueous extracts treatment failed to suppress the cancer cell invasiveness. According to our results about their anticancer effects on NSCLC, probiotics consisting of Bifidobacterium species may be useful as adjunctive anticancer treatment in the future.
