본 연구의 목적은 발효 기간 동안 멸치 액젓과 새우젓으로 담근 배추 김치로부터 분리 동정된 바이오제닉 아민(biogenic amines, BA) 생성 유산균 단독 스타터 혹은 BA 분해 유산균과의 혼합 스타터로 제조한 김치의 품질 특성을 조사하고자 하였다. 발효가 진행될수록 새우젓 보다 멸치 액젓을 첨가하여 제조한 김치에서 유산균수, 산도 및 BA 함량이 높게 나타났다. 유산균이 생산하는 BA의 종류 및 생성량은 균종 보다는 균주에 의존적이었다. 분리 균주 중에서 가장 많은 양의 카다베린, 히스타민, 푸트레신 및 티라민은 각각 Leuconostoc mesenteroides MBK32, Lactobacillus brevis MBK34, Lactobacillus curvatus MBK31 및 Enterococcus faecalis SBK31로부터 생산되었다. BA 생성능과 분해능이 있는 스타터는 김치 내 유산균의 증식 속도와 산 생성능에 중요한 역할을 하였다. BA 생성균 단독 스타터에 의해 증가된 김치의 BA 함량은 BA 분해균과의 혼합 스타터에 의해 효과적으로 감소되었다.

S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) is a bioactive material used in the treatment of depression, osteoarthritis, and liver disease. To obtain lactic acid bacteria (LAB) producing high concentrations of SAM, LAB were isolated from commercial kimchi and from prepared kimchi products that contained shrimp jeotgal (fermented salty seafood) or sand lance jeotgal or that were fermented at 5 or $10^{\circ}C$, respectively, when pH was 4.2 to 4.8 and titratable acidity 0.6 to 0.9. Among the 179 LAB strains isolated from the fermented kimchi products, the genus Leuconostoc produced the highest intracellular level of SAM (1.58 mM) and Lactobacillus produced the second highest level (up to 1.47 mM) in the strain culture. This is the first study to quantify SAM in LAB isolated from fermented kimchi prepared by a general kimchi recipe. Ultimately, the selected strains (Leuconostoc mesentroides subsp. mesenteroides/dextranicum KSK417, L. mesentroides subsp. mesenteroides/dextranicum KJM401, and Lactobacillus bifermentans QMW327) could be useful as starters to manufacture fermented foods containing high levels of SAM.

In order to elucidate roles of lactic acid bacteria(LAB) for the antibiosis occurring in th fermenting environment of Kimchi, 2.052 strains of LAB were isolated from Kimchi. Fifty tow strains which showed antagonistic effect against 4 indicator strains were finally selected and investigated. Based upon responses to protease treatment, antibiosis of the 52 strains of LAB were classified into 3 types. Type A antibiosis resulted from action of antibiotic-like substances which were not affected by protease treatment and which had broad action spectra against even natural inhabitants of Kimchi. Type B antibiosis was due to bacteriocin-like substances which were very sensitive to treatment of protease and more effective against foreign bacteria than original inhabitant microflora. Type C antibiosis was owing to proteinaceous compounds which were activated or induced by the presence of protease and then exerted antibacterial activities. Therefore, lactic acid bacteria appeared to contribute to antibiosis of Kimchi by the concerted action of these three different types of antibacterial compounds. As one of model system for type B bacteriocin, the antagonistic compound produced by LAB31-9 as well as th producer strain itself was further charaacterized. Strain LAB31-9 was identified as L. casei. Bacteriocin produced by LAB31-9 was proteinaceous and stable over wide range of pH and to various solvents, but very labile to heat treatment. Its mode of action was bactericidal. Based upon these data, bacteriocin produced by LAB31-9 was named as 'caseicin K319'. Genetic determinant for the bacteriocin production of LAB31-9 was located in the chromosome.

This study was carried out to investigate the shelf life of Shepherd's purse(Capsella bursa-pastoris) Kimchi during fermentation at 1$0^{\circ}C$. Capsella bursa-pastoris was treated without or with blanching. The viable cells of lactic acid bacteria(LAB) of raw and blanched Kimchi after fermentation for 15 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$ were 7.91 log CFU/mL and 6.4 log CFU/mL, respectively. The viable cells of LAB of Capsella bursa-pastoris Kimchi at 1$0^{\circ}C$ were lower in the blanched one when compared to the raw one. The pH of raw Kimchi was lower than that of the blanched one during fermentation for 25 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$. The viable cells of total bacteria of the blanched Kimchi were lower than that of non-blanched one during fermentation at 1$0^{\circ}C$. The ascorbic acid and chlorophyll contents decreased more in the blanched Kimchi when compared to that treated without heat. The sensory quality of the blanched Kimchi was a little inferior to that treated without heat during fermentation.

Cell wall (lactic acid bacteria-sonicated precipitate ; LAB-SP) and cytosoll(lactic acid bacteria-sonicated supernatant ; LAB-SS) fractions were prepared from kimchi fermenting lactic acid bacteria such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus fermentum , Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus acidilactici, with Lactobacillus acidophillus isolated from yogurt. Using the Ames mutagenicity test and SOS chormotest system, the antimutagenic acitivity of those cell fractions was studied . One hundered eighty $\mu$l of LAB-SP from lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, excepting Pediococcus acidilactici, supressed the mutagenicity of 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide(4-NQO) in Ames mutagenicity test and SOS chromotes system , by above 90% and 60% , respectively. LAB-SP from lactic acid bacteria also inhibited the mutagenicity mediated by 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido [4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-2). Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus acidphillus had higher antimutagenicity against Trp-P-2). Lactobacillus fermentum , Lactobacillus plantarum , and Lactobacillus acidphillus had higher antimutagenicity against Trp-P-2 than the other lactic acid bacteria. However, LAB-SS of lactic acid bacteria did not show any mutagenic activity against 4-NQO in Ames mutagenicity test and SOS chromotest systems. On the mutagenicity of MEIQ and Trp-P-2 , LAB-SS of lactic acid bacteria from kimchi or dairy products exhibited a weaker inhibitory effect than LAB-SP of those bacteria. These results represent that, whether the lactic acid bacteria from kimchi are viable or nonviable, antimutagenic acitivity was still effective. We suggest that the strong, antimutaganic activity of lactic acid bacteria might be found in the cell wall fraction , rather than in the cytosol fraction.

The effect of kimchi, traditional Korean fermented vegetables, on inactivating food-borne pathogens and the kimchi factors affecting the antimicrobial activity were investigated. More cells of Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella typhimurium were inactivated in the kimchi that had low pH and high titratable acidity. Of the raw ingredients in kimchi, raw garlic showed the strongest antimicrobial activity against the pathogens. When kimchi was fermented at 0, 4, 10, or $20^{\circ}C$ to pH 4.4, higher kimchi fermentation temperature resulted in higher titratable acidity. The greatest inactivation of S. typhimurium occurred in kimchi fermented at $20^{\circ}C$, while L. monocytogenes were inactivated in kimchi fermented at $0^{\circ}C$ in situ. This study showed that appropriately fermented kimchi can inactivate various food-borne pathogens and that the fermentation temperature of the kimchi is an important factor in determining the ability of the kimchi to inactivate specific pathogens. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) multiplication and organic acids produced according to LAB metabolism play a role in inactivating food-borne pathogens in kimchi.

Shizandra chinensis(SC) and Pinus regida(PR) showed antimicrobial activity against 3 strains(B-5, D-1, A-1) of lactic acid bacteria(LAB) isolated from kimchi among eight kinds of plant extracts such as Shizandra chinensis, Phellodendron amurense, ornus officinalis, Pinus regida, Allium tuberosum, Machilus thunbergii, Cyperus rotundus and Schizonepeta tenuifloia. The growth of LAB was inhibited apparently in modified MRS broth containing 1% Schizandra chinensis at $35^{\circ}C$. Pinus regida showed weaker inhibitory effect on the growth of isolated LAB than Shizandra chinensis. pH of SC added kimchi did not change greatly compare with control during 25 days of fermentation. Degree of titratable acidity change and ratio of reducing sugar utilization in control were more higher than in SC added kimchi during fermentation. Growth of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria was inhibited about 1 to 2 $log_10$ cycle by addition of SC extracts during kimchi fermentation for 10 days at $10^{\circ}C$. Fermentation of kimchi was delaved about 5 to 7 days by addition of 1 or 2% of SC. extract, but sensory quality (falvor, taste and overall acceptability) of SC added kimchi was lower than that of control (p>0.05).

Given the diversity of vegetables utilized in food fermentation and various lactic acid bacteria (LAB) populations in these materials, comprehensive studies on LAB from vegetable foods, including kimchi, are imperative. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the obesity-related inflammation response of three metabolites-phenyllactic acid (PLA), indole-3-lactic acid (ILA), and leucic acid (LA)-produced by LAB (Companilactobacillus allii WiKim39 and Lactococcus lactis WiKim0124) isolated from kimchi. Their effects on tumor necrosis factor-α-induced changes in adipokines and inflammatory response in adipose-derived human mesenchymal stem cells were examined. The study results showed that PLA, ILA, and LA, particularly PLA, effectively reduced lipid accumulation and triglyceride, glycerol, free fatty acid, and adiponectin levels. Furthermore, the identified metabolites were found to modulate the expression of signaling proteins involved in adipogenesis and inflammation. Specifically, these metabolites were associated with enriched expression in the chemokine signaling pathway and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, which are critical pathways involved in regulating immune responses and inflammation. PLA, ILA, and LA also suppressed the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and several inflammatory markers, with the PLA-treated group exhibiting the lowest levels. These results suggest that PLA, ILA, and LA are potential therapeutic agents for treating obesity and inflammation by regulating adipokine secretion and suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

기후변화에 따라 오염도가 높아질 것으로 예상되는 곰팡이독소 중 아플라톡신을 김치에 오염시켜 발효 및 저장 중 이화학적 및 미생물학적 품질변화를 분석하고, 김치 제조 시 젖산균의 첨가가 아플라톡신의 함량 변화에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 김치의 pH는 저장기간이 증가함에 따라 급격하게 감소한 반면 산도는 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 염도는 저장기간 동안 2.30~2.40%의 수준을 유지하였다. 젖산균을 첨가한 김치의 일반세균수 및 젖산균수는 다른 시료에 비해 젖산균을 접종한 시료에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 또한 김치의 저장 중 효모 및 곰팡이 수는 약 1~3 log CFU/g 수준이 검출되었다. 대장균군은 대조구에서 저장 4주차까지 검출된 반면 다른 시료에서는 저장 2주 후 모두 불검출되었다. 아플라톡신이 오염된 김치에서 저장기간에 따라 아플라톡신이 감소하는 경향성은 확인되지 않았으나 저장 8주 동안 아플라톡신 오염수준의 평균 감소율은 AFs 오염구에서 7.1%, AFs+LP에서 21.5%, AFs+LM에서 24.1%로 나타나 젖산균을 첨가한 시료에서 감소율이 더 크게 나타났다. 아플라톡신 첨가에 따른 김치의 이화학적 및 미생물학적 품질 변화는 일반 김치와 비교 시 뚜렷한 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 젖산균을 첨가한 김치의 경우 저장 중 일반세균 수 및 젖산균수가 높게 검출되고, 아플라톡신의 감소효과가 더 크게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구결과 김치에 Lactobacillus속이나 Leuconostoc속과 같은 젖산균 첨가 시 젖산균 증진 효과 및 아플라톡신에 노출 위험도를 감소시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
