Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in fermented foods have attracted considerable attention recently as treatment options for immune diseases, the incidence of which has been increasing worldwide. The ability of 500 strains of LAB, isolated from kimchi, to induce TNF-${\alpha}$ production in peritoneal macrophages was investigated. Lactobacillus plantarum HY7712 most strongly induced TNF-${\alpha}$ production as well as NF-${\kappa}B$ activation. However, HY7712 inhibited NF-${\kappa}B$ activation in LPS-stimulated peritoneal macrophages. When HY7712 was orally treated in cyclophosphamide (CP)-immunosuppressed mice for 5 or 15 days, it reversed the body and spleen weights, blood RBC and WBC levels, and splenocyte and bone marrow cells that were reduced by CP. Orally administered HY7712 increased concanavalin A-induced T cell proliferation to 84.5% of the normal group on day 15, although treatment with CP alone markedly reduced it to 53.7% of the normal group. Furthermore, orally administered HY7712 significantly induced the expressions of IL-2 and IFN-${\gamma}$ in ConA-induced splenic cytotoxic T cells of CP-treated mice. Orally administered HY7712 restored the CP-impaired phagocytosis of macrophages in mice. Orally administered HY7712 also restored the cytotoxicity of NK and cytotoxic T cells derived from spleen and bone marrow against YAC-1 in CP-immunosuppressed mice. Based on these findings, orally administered HY7712 may accelerate the recovery of cyclophosphamide-caused immunosuppression, without evident side effects, by immunopotentiating NK and Tc cells, and may provide a mechanistic basis for using HY7712 as an alternative means in lessening chemotherapyinduced immunosuppression in cancer patients.

This study was performed to evaluate the effects of the supplementation of lactic acid bacterias (LAB; S. thermophilus, L. acidophilus) aluminum accumulation and function kidney in rats treated with 250 g/g aluminum sulfate for 4 weeks. Fifty male Sprague Dawley strains were divided into five groups according to the types of supplement. the control, S. thermophilus culture group(A), autoclaved S. thermophilus culture(B), L. acidophilus culture group(C) and autoclaved L. acidophilus(D). The weight gain was increased by supplementation of S. thermophilus culture(A), autoclaved S. thermophilus culture(B), L. acidophilus culture(C), autoclaved L. acidophilus culture(D), especially by supplementation of S. thermophilus cultured(A) as compared to control group. The amount of water intake was increased in control group as compared to the LAB supplemented group. The content of aluminum were decreased 19.57%, 31.25%, 37.10%, and 32.40% in kidney after supplementation of non autoclaved culture group (A,C), and autoclaved group(B,D) respectively, as compared to control group. Water balance, urine volume, and excretion of sodium and potassium decreased in LAB supplemented group and control group. Excretion of creatinine increased in control group and tendency to increased in LAB supplemented group. In conclusion, the effect of suppression of aluminum accumulation was more effective in sup plementation of S. thermophilus culture(A), and L. acidophilus culture(C) than autoclaved S. thermo philus culture(B), and L. acidophilus culture(D).

본 연구에서는 초임계 이산화탄소를 이용하여 동치미의 살균 특성과 효소불활성화에 대한 조사를 하였다. 초임계 이산화탄소를 처리한 동치미의 생균수 및 젖산균은 초임계 이산화탄소의 온도와 압력이 증가하면 사멸 속도가 증가하여 사멸속도는 1차 반응식을 따랐다. D-값의 경우 초임계상태에서 온도가 압력보다는 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며 젖산균의 경우 25MPa, $25^{\circ}C$의 초임계상태에서 가장 낮은 D-값과 생균수를 나타내었고 PGase도 40.3%가 실활 되었다. 이상의 결과로 초임계이산화탄소는 미생물의 살균 및 효소실활을 위한 또 하나의 비열처리기법으로 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of propionic acid and wilting on fermentation quality of Italian ryegrass silage. Grass material was wilted for a day before ensiling and propionic acid(0. 0, 0. 2. 0. 5 and 0.8 7~ of fresh matter) was applicated at ensiling time. Chemical composition, fermentation acids, pH, microbial population and distribution of the nitrogen contents were evaluated. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The contents of dry matter and water soluble carbohydrate in the silage were increased by wilting, and crude fibre, NDF and ADF were decreased with increasing propionic acid levels. 2. The pH values of the silage increased by increasing DM content, but decreased with increasing propionic acid levels. Lactic acid content lowed in wilted silage, and acetic acid and butyric acid formation were decreased with increasing propionic acid levels. 3. Total nitrogen content in the silage was i n ~ r e a s e d ( ~ < . 05) by addition of propionic acid and wilting, and was the highest in the prewilting-0.8 Q propionic acid applicated silage. The production of NHBN was decreased with propionic acid and was the lowest in the 0.8 % treated silage. 4. The number of total bacteria and yeasts were estimated $10^6~10^7$, $10^2~10^3$ respectively. Moulds number were decreased with increasing propionic acid levels.

편이었다. 미량성분으로는 K이 다량으로 존재하였고, 2단계 발효로 제조된 포도식초는 포도양파식초 보다K, Na, Cu함량이 높게 나타났다. ^x Grape vinegar (A) and grape onion vinegar(B) added (3% of onion juice) were produced through two stages of fermentation(alcohol fermentation and acetic acid fermentation) to increase the grape's use. Grape wine which contained 5.6% alcohol was produced on the 3rd day of first stage. Then through the second stages, grape vinegar, of which total acidity was 5.37% was produced. The quality of (A) and ( B) which was produced through the two stages of fermentation was compared with the traditional grape vinegar (C, D) in the market. The content of sugar in (D) was a little higher such as 5.4 $^{\circ}$Brix than others. That of (A) and (B) was 5.13, 4.98 $^{\circ}$Brix respectively. The content of remaining alcohol in (C) was high such as 0.23% comparatively. But there was no remaining alcohol in (A) and (B). The content of acetic acid was 4.3~5.3% as a major organic acid of vinegars. The content of tartaric acid was 340.0 in (A), 315.7 in (B), 322.6 in (C) and 391.7mg% in (D). The content of lactic acid was distinctly high such as 277.4mg% in (D) There were differences such as 9.2~15.5mg% in the content of total free amino acids among grape vinegars. (D) contained 15.5mg% of total free amino acid and (B) also highly such as 12.0mg%. Potassium was high in grape vinegars. The content of potassium, sodium and copper was higher in (A) than (B).

Twenty-four new born crossbred (Bos indicus$\times$Bos taurus) calves were distributed in two equal groups and assigned to two different pre-starter diets with (Group 1) and without (Group 2) fish meal to study the effect of replacement of animal protein by vegetable protein in the diet and the age of animals on ruminal metabolic development. All calves were fed colostrum for 24 h and whole milk until weaning at 8 weeks of age. Rumen fluid samples were collected on 4 d, 1 wk, and then weekly interval up to 8 wk of age. Rumen fluid samples were analysed for pH, TVFA, lactic acid and N fractions (total N, total soluble N, trichloro acetic acid (TCA) soluble N, TCA precipitable N and ammonia N). Weekly feed intake and live weight gain pattern showed an increasing trend with the advancement of age, but were similar in both groups. The pH fell steadily during 0-4 wk of age and then stabilized in later period. A close relationship (r=0.80) between starter intake and TVFA concentration was observed in both the groups. Lactic acid (meq/l) and ammonia N (mg/dl) concentration showed initial rise (0.55 and 14.97 on day 4 to 3.38 (7 wk) and 32.85 (4 wk), respectively) to fall (2.74 and 17.60) again during 8 wk of age in response to increase in dry feed consumption (10% initially to 83% of diet dry matter at 8 wk of age). The TCA precipitable fraction of N did not show any change during 0-8 wk of age. Data indicate that the metabolic changes responded rapidly to dry feed intake which did not differ in fish meal and non-fish meal groups, and a poor voluntary consumption of oat hay retards the progressive changes in live weight and rumen microbial development.

팽이버섯의 품종, 저장 온도 및 저장기간에 따른 자실체의 유기산의 변화를 조사하여 저장기간을 판단하기위한 기초자료로 사용하고자 HPLC을 이용하여 유기산을 분석 정량하였다. 팽이버섯 자실체에 존재하는 acetic acid, butyric acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, DL-isocitric acid, L(+) lactic acid, D-malic acid, propionic acid, succinic acid, D-tartaric acid 등 총 10종류의 유기산을 분리하였다. 대부분의 품종에서 acetic acid 함량이 가장 높게 나타났으며, fumaric acid 함량이 가장 낮았다. mono-carboxyl group의 유기산인 acetic acid는 품종 및 저장온도에 따른 함량에 차이도 있으면서 저장기간에 따라 일률적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 butyric acid 등은 저장온도 및 품종에 따라 함량의 차이가 심하였다. Di-carboxyl group의 유기산인 fumaric acid는 저장 및 품종에 따른 차이 없이 감소하였으나, 저장기간 동안에 확인되는 함량이 1.5mg/g으로 그 함량이 적고, ASI 4149, 4166균주에서는 약간 다른 경향을 보이고 있다. 그 외에 malic acid 등은 저장온도 및 품종에 따라 함량의 차이가 심하였다. Tri-carboxyl group의 citric acid는 저장온도 및 품종에 상관없이 저장기간에 따라 증가하여 효과적으로 저장기간을 평가할 수 있는 지표로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 추정된다. isocitric acid는 저장온도, 품종 및 저장기간에 따라 성분함량의 변화가 심하였다.

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres have been a useful tool as a controlled drug delivery system for peptides and proteins. Recently, porous microspheres have gained great attention as inhalation drug delivery system due to their low aerodynamic densities. Here, we report highly porous PLGA microspheres, which were prepared by using a single o/w emulsification/solvent evaporation method. Two types of porogen, i.e., (i) extractable Pluronic F127 and (ii) gas foaming salt of ammonium bicarbonate, were used to induce pores on the surface of PLGA microspheres. The respective preparation conditions on dp/cp ratio and porogen concentration were determined by the previous preliminary experiments, and other preparation factors were further optimized on the basis of PLGA Mw and porogen type. The morphological features examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) show these porous microspheres have highly porous surface structure with a diameter range of 20${\sim}$30 ${\mu}$m. These highly porous PLGA microspheres, which have much lower density, would be a practical aerosol system for pulmonary drug delivery.

Thirteen commercial antimicrobial products were examined to assess the sporicidal activity against Bacillus cereus spores at room temperature, 60 and $85^{\circ}C$. Neither the antimicrobials showed detectable antimicrobial activity against the B. cereus spores nor induced spore germination after the treatment at 0.5 or 1.0%(w/v, v/v) commercial antimicrobial agents at room temperature for 0.5 to 4 hr. However, when the antimicrobials such as chitosan, lactic acid, fermented pollen, grapefruit extract were applied with heat at $85^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, more than 1 log CFU/mL spores were additionally inactivated compared to only heat treatment without antimicrobials. Imposition of $60^{\circ}C$ to B. cereus spores with the higher concentration of 5.0%(v/v) lactic acid or 2.5%(w/v) thiamine dilaurylsulfate for the longer time incubation of 24 hr resulted in 3 log CFU/mL spore inactivation. This work showed that low concentrations of commercial antimicrobials by themselves did not inactivate B. cereus spores. However, when physical processes such as heat were combined together, antimicrobials showed a synergistic effect against B. cereus spores.

Artemisia princeps Pampanini, which is called Ssajuarissuk in Korean (SS-1), was fermented with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction-inhibitory activity was investigated. Of these fermented agents, SS-1 extract fermented with Bifidobacterium infantis K-525 (F-SS-1) most effectively inhibited the release of ${\beta}$-hexosamindase from RBL-2H3 cells induced IgE. In IgE-induced RBL-2H3 cells, F-SS-1 inhibited proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ mRNA expression. Oral administration of SS-1 and F-SS-1 to mice inhibited passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction induced by IgE and scratching behaviors induced by compound 48/80. The inhibitory activity of F-SS-1 against scratching behaviors was more effective than that of SS-1. These findings suggest that the fermentation of SS-1 with LAB can increase its antiallergic activity.
