${\gamma}$-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is basically neurotrasmitter produced by the decarboxylation of L-glutamic acid catalyzed by glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), which was known to convert monosodium glutamate (MSG) to GABA. To investigate enhancement of reversion rate of GABA, the yogurt fermentation with addition of nanoparticle winter mushroom and hydroponic ginseng was used. The conversion rate was revealed to nanoparticle winter mushroom and hydroponic ginseng fermenter (88%) > winter mushroom fermenter (52%) > nanoparticle winter mushroom fermenter (44%). The results showed that nanoparticle winter mushroom and hydroponic ginseng supplemented substrates for enhancement of GABA may be used more effectively as one of potential sources of functional foods.

This study aimed to determine the effect of extraction temperature and time on the antioxidant activity of hot water extract from Panax ginseng sprout powder and to evaluate the suitability of this extract for use in dairy products. Water-soluble fractions of commercial Panax ginseng sprout powder were obtained by hot water extraction at 25, 60, or 80℃ for 0.5, 2, 12, or 24 h. The antioxidant activity of each extract was evaluated by measuring its free radical scavenging activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS). DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity increased with extraction temperature from 25 to 80℃. At 80℃, increasing the extraction time from 0.5 to 2 h led to increases in DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity. Thus, the extract obtained under 2 h at 80℃ was selected for addition to milk and yogurt. After 16 days of storage, there were no significant changes in the pH of the milk or the antioxidant activity of the extract. With regard to yogurt fermentation, adding the extract did not affect the pH or the number of viable lactic acid bacteria. In conclusion, hot water extract from Panax ginseng sprout powder can be added to dairy products to enhance antioxidant activity.

This experiment was carried out to examine the fermentation properties of yogurt with bovine milk and soybean milk at the mixed ratio of 2:1 and added 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 1.0% red ginseng extract. The effect on promoting the fermentation by additives 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 1.0% red ginseng extracts were higher and pH was $3.90{\sim}3.94$ when Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC3150 and Lactobacillus salivarius ssp. salivarius CNU27 were used. Titratable acidity showed a little inhibiting due to increasing red ginseng extract content. The average viable counts of lactic acid bacteria after 15 hour culture was the highest level of $6.26{\times}10^8cfu/mL$ when Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC3150 was used, and the additives content of red ginseng extract was 1.0% The production of lactic acid was the highest and the concentration was 332.22 mM when Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC3150 was used, and the additives content of red ginseng extracts was 1.0% Lactose hydrolysis was completely hydrolyzed when Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC3150 and Lactobacillus salivarius ssp. salivarius CNU27 were used. The highest viscosity of yogurt was 780 cP when Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC3150 and Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius CNU27 were used and red ginseng extract was added 1.0% The overall acceptability, $4.17{\pm}0.64$, was the highest when Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius CNU27 was used and the additives content of red ginseng extract was 0.2%.

Curd yoghurts were made with ginseng products, ginseng extract, white ginseng powder and tail ginseng powder, which have pharmacological effects and are palatable by Korean. The acidity, number of lactic acid bacteria, and viscosity of yoghurts were examined and taste, flavor and preservation of yoghurts were also tested. The results obtained were summarized as follows. 1. The acidity of yoghurts was higher for ginseng yoghurts, especially for tail ginseng yoghurt(1.13%) than for control Yoghurt(0.95%). 2. The number of lactic acid bacteria was higher for ginseng yoghurts, especially for tail ginseng yoghurt($9.8{\times}10^8/ml$) than for control yoghurt($6.5{\times}10^8/ml$). 3. The viscosity of yoghurt was higher for ginseng yoghurt, especially for white ginseng powder yoghurt than for control Yoghurt. 4. The score of taste and flavor of yoghurt were higher for ginseng yoghurt, whereas those of texture of yoghurt were lower than control yoghurt. However, the score of total sensory test was higher for tail ginseng yogurt than other yoghurts. 5. When yoghurts were stored at $5^{\circ}C$ for 10 days, the pH, acidity and number of lactic acid bacteria in yoghurts were not changed significantly.

The fermentation of Panax ginseng can yield many compounds from ginsenosides that have a wide variety of biological functions. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains are capable of converting ginsenosides. The purposes of this study were to: (1) characterize Enterococcus faecium SA5, an isolated LAB from Mongolian mare milk, (2) identify the existence of extracellular ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity in the milk, and (3) ascertain if the ${\beta}$-glucosidase has the capacity of converting ginsenoside in Korean ginseng. The results revealed that E. faecium SA5 was acid-resistant, bile salt-resistant, and has antibiotic activities against 4 pathogenic microorganisms (Salmonella typhimurium KCTC 3216, Listeria monocytogenes KCTC 3710, Bacillus cereus KCTC 1012, Staphylococcus aureus KCTC 1621). In addition, E. faecium SA5 had tolerance against some antibiotics such as colistin, gentamycin and neomycin. It was also found that E. faecium SA5 possessed bile salt hydrolase activity, which could lower blood cholesterol level. When incubated in 10% (w/v) skim milk as a yogurt starter, E. faecium SA5 caused to decrease pH of the medium as well as increase in viable cell counts. Using TLC and HPLC analysis on the samples incubated in MRS broth, our study confirmed that E. faecium SA5 can produce ${\beta}$-glucosidase, which was capable of converting ginsenoside $Rb_1$ into new ginsenosides $Rg_3-s$ and $Rg_3-r$. It was concluded that E. faecium SA5 possessed a potential of probiotic activity, which could be applied to yogurt manufacture as well as ginsenoside conversion in ginseng.

The purpose of this report is to present a list of Korean foods containing histamine, that is known to cause food allergy and chronic urticaria. For the measurement of histamine in foods, the application of spectrofluorimeter is used. Among the food groups, sea foods (mackerel, pacific saury, spanish mackerel, anchovy, hair, tail, tuna) contain most high amount of histamine, and the contents of see weeds (sea mustard, laverare) are also high. Milk and milk products (mozzarella cheese, yogurt) contain more histamine than animal meats. Plant foods like cereals, vegetables or fruits contain much less histamine than other food groups, except spinach. The contents of dried sesame, sesame oil, and mugicha, green tea, ginseng tea, mayonnaise, tomato ketchup are relatively high. This paper will be used as a fundamental guideline in planning dietary management of allergy and for the operational plans for the future nutrition education intervention. Because the foods rich in histamine may cause allergy-like syptoms, it may be reqoiled to label the foods containing histamine.
