The changes of chlorophylls and pH of cooked water were investigated in blanched and fermented cabbage. In blanched cabbage, pheophytins were increased markedly with heating time. This was related to the changes of pH and the effects of heat. One minute blanching accelerated the formation of chlorophyllides by the activation of chlorophyllase. In fermented cabbage, pH and chlorophylls were decreased rapidly at the beginning of fermentation. At the final of fermentation, all chlorophylls and chlorophyllides were converted to pheophytins ana pheophorbides, and the content of pheophytins was higher than the content of pheophorbides. The content of pheophorbides in fermented cabbage was higher than that in blanched cabbage.

This study was carried out to investigate distribution of homofermentative lactic acid bacteria(LAB) and heterofermentative LAB during kimchi fermentation period. The number of heterofermentative LAB was decreased during the fermentation. The ethanol extracts of Lithospermum erythrorhizon and Sophrora flavescens AITON showed strong antimicrobial activities against both homofermentative LAB and heterofermentative LAB. The extracts of Glycyrrhiza uralensis and Curcuma longa showed stronger antimicrobial activity against hetrofermentative LAB than against homofermentative LAB. the antimicrobial activities of the plant extracts against LAB were accelerated by mixing of two or three kinds.

Traditional food is the basis of Korean food, but in the process of industrialization, Japanese soybean fermented product making method became standardization process of Korean soybean fermented product as a factory type. As a result, traditional fermented food was pushed behind the industrialization. At present, there is anxiety in the development of the fermented soybean product industry due to the gap in management level between the manufacturers, the decrease in consumption of Jangryu due to changes in dietary life, and the negative image as high salt food. In order to overcome these problems and lead continuous growth, governmental industrial development policies such as traditional liquor and Kimchi are inevitably needed. By laying the legal and institutional foundation and making good use of it in industry, it will be the foundation for continuous development in the market where fierce competition is accelerated.

The accelerate effects on the growth rate and the capacity of fermentation of L. delbrukii and B. subtilis was investigated in the Henneberg's medium added by various amounts of cellular components of Chlorella and Scenedesmus and also was investigated in the media added micronutritional elements such as Mn, Fe and Mo, etc. The results in the comparative experiments are as follow; 1. Various amounts of Chlorella cell components in the media accelerated remarkably the lactic acid formation and growth of L. delbrukii. For example, lactic acid formation in the medium of contained 1 percent Chlorella cell components was promoted more than twice effects compare with control. 2. The formation of .alpha.-amylase by B. subtilis in the medium of 2 percent Chlorella cell contents was also promoted more than nine twice effects compare with control. 3. The formation of lactic acid of L. delbruckii in the medium of Scenedesmus cell contents was a little more than in the medium of Chlorella cell contents. 4. The lactic acid fermented level attained with the addition of 0.2-0.25 percent Chlorella cells was the effect of promoting fermentation attained of saturating level at 100$\mu$g. /ml. of Mn and 0. 1 $\mu$g./ml. of Fe.

The present study was directed to investigate the accelerative effects of fermentation of salted anchovy on sea tangle homogenates. With the addition of $8\%$ (w/w) sea tangle homogenates(T), there was an increase of amino-N content in both the muscle and juice of salted anchovy during all fermentation periods. It was only in VBN value that there was exhibited the same characteristics as the control batch. Viable cell count in muscle was increased rapidly after 60 days of fermentation, but in juice the content was maximal after 60 days of fermentation. When $8\%$ (w/w) sea tangle homogenates was added, the pH value in muscle and juice were maintained same degree of control until 80 days of fermentation, but showed increase in pH value of muscle and juice more rapidly than the control system after 80 days of fermentation. Then a large percentage of muscle turned to juice after 100 days of fermentation. The degree of fermentation In salted anchovy, when sea tangle homogenates were added, accelerated more than the control batch. Concerning the factors related to the accelerative effects on fermentation of salted anchovy, there was a continuous increase in amino-N content, and it was a sudden change of viable cell count and pH value at a certain point in the fermentation periods.

In this study, the possibility of green tea waste (GTW) as a new ingredient of byproducts-mixed silage was investigated. Characteristics of GTW were low in dry matter (DM) content (20%), and high in crude protein (30 to 36%) and tannins (8.5%). The GTW was added to mixed silages composed of tofu cake, rice straw and rice bran that are locally available in Japan. In experiment 1, the effect of GTW addition to silage made from various patterns of byproducts mixture based on tofu cake was studied. In experiment 2, the effect of GTW addition and storage temperature on fermentation characteristics, nutrient contents and in vitro ruminal gas production of byproducts-mixed silages were examined. In experiment 1, GTW addition on tofu cake accelerated acetic, propionic and butyric acid accumulation in the silage. When rice straw was mixed with tofu cake, DM content was increased from 47 to 56%, lactic acid was the main acid and the pH was decreased below 4.2. In this case, GTW addition to those mixtures did not affect acid concentrations of the silage. In experiment 2, GTW addition to the byproducts mixture increased lactic acid concentration, decreased the pH and DM loss of the silages. In GTW treatments, tannin concentration was lower in the silage stored at $30^{\circ}C$ than $15^{\circ}C$. Addition of GTW into the silage also increased in vitro ruminal gas production. It was concluded that addition of GTW into byproducts-mixed silage enhanced lactic acid fermentation when there were insufficient materials for lactic acid production. Utilization of GTW as an ingredient in mixed silages would be effective in enhancing fermentation characteristics, lowering tannin content and in vitro ruminal gas production.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sodium diacetate (SDA) on fermentation profile, chemical composition and aerobic stability of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) silage. Methods: Fresh alfalfa was ensiled with various concentrations of SDA (0, 3, 5, 7, and 9 g/kg of fresh forage). After 60 days of the ensiling, the samples were collected to examine the fermentative quality, chemical composition and aerobic stability. Results: The application of SDA significantly (p<0.05) decreased silage pH with the lowest value in silage with 7 g/kg of SDA. The proliferations of enterobacteria, yeasts, molds and clostridia were inhibited by SDA, resulted in lower ethanol, propionic and butyric acid concentrations and dry matter loss in SDA treated silages than control. The increasing SDA linearly decreased free amino acid N (p<0.001), ammonia N (p = 0.018) and non-protein N (p<0.001), while linearly increased water soluble carbohydrate (p<0.001) and peptide N (p<0.001). It is speculated that SDA accelerated the shift from homofermentative to heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria during the silage fermentation, indicated by lower lactic acid production in SDA-9 than SDA-7 silages after 60 days of ensiling. Alfalfa silages treated with SDA at 7 g/kg had highest Flieg's point and remained stable more than 9 d during aerobic exposure under humid and hot conditions in southern China. Conclusion: SDA may be used as an additive for alfalfa silages at a level of 7 g/kg.

Objective: This study identified the major lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains from different fermented total mixed rations (FTMRs) via metataxonomic analysis and evaluated the ability of their standard strain as ensiling inoculants for corn stover silage. Methods: The bacterial composition of eight FTMRs were analyzed by 16S rDNA sequencing. Corn stover was ensiled without LAB inoculation (control) or with 1×10⁶ cfu/g LAB standard strain (Lactobacillus vaginalis, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus helveticus, or Lactobacillus paralimentarius) selected from the FTMRs or 10 g/t commercial silage inoculant (CSI) around 25℃ for 56 days. For each inoculation, a portion of the silage was sampled to analyze ensiling characteristics at time intervals of 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, and 56 days, gas production (GP), microbial crude protein and volatile fatty acids as the measurements of rumen fermentation characteristics were evaluated in vitro with the silages of 56 days after 72 h incubation. Results: Lactobacillus covered >85% relative abundance of all FTMRs, in which L. pontis, L. vaginalis, L. reuteri, L. helveticus, and L. paralimentarius showed >4% in specific FTMRs. CSI, L. helveticus, and L. paralimentarius accelerated the decline of silage pH. Silage inoculated with L. paralimentarius and CSI produced more lactic acid the early 14 days. Silage inoculated with L. paralimentarius produced less acetic acid and butyric acid. For the in vitro rumen fermentation, silage inoculated with CSI produced more potential GP, isobutyric acid, and isovaleric acid; silage inoculated with L. helveticus produced more potential GP and isovaleric acid, silage inoculated with L. paralimentarius or L. reuteri produced more potential GP only. Conclusion: The standard strain L. paralimentarius (DSM 13238) is a promising ensiling inoculant for corn stover silage. The findings provide clues on strategies to select LAB to improve the quality of silage.
