Recent trend of consumers' for health give rise to the interest in health and functional foods. Functional yogurt is a primary item in USA, EU, and Japan that are leaders in health and functional food industry and its market is going to be enlarged. Also in Korea, functional yogurt has been recognized as health food by consumers. Concept of functional yogurt is various by health of intestine, stomach, and liver, and lowering blood pressure in Korean market. However, functional yogurt is not registered as health and functional foods in Health/Functional Food Act of Korea. Under these circumstances, the results of trustable and scientific research on the efficacy of functional yogurt should be accumulated to obtain the consumers' solid recognition of functional yogurt as health and functional food.

For the purpose of developing a functional yogurt, a new type of yogurt was prepared. To manufacture this new yogurt, 12% skim milk was added to the hot water extract of black soybeans. The yogurt was then evaluated for its acid production(pH and titratable acidity), number of viable cells, viscosity, quality-retention properties, and sensory properties. The titratable acidity of the yogurt with the added 5% black soybean hot-water extract was higher(2.07%) than that of the yogurt without the added extract(1.80%). The viscosity of the yogurt made by adding 5% black soybean hot-water extract was higher(5,040 cps) than that of the yogurt made with only skim milk(2,740 cps). Lactic acid bacteria propagation was stimulated by the addition of the 5% black soybean hot-water extract. When the yogurt prepared with the black soybean hot-water extract was kept at $7^{\circ}C$ for 14 days, its quality-retention was comparatively good. Finally the overall sensory score of the yogurt made with the added 5% black soybean hot-water extract was slightly lower than that of the yogurt made with only skim milk.

The objective of this study was to develop yogurt-cheese using cow’s milk, ultrafiltrated cow’s milk, and soy milk. The addition of soy milk and ultrafiltrated milk increased the amount of protein in the yogurt-cheese. Yogurt-cheeses were made using cheese base using 10% and 20% soy milk with raw and ultrafiltrated cow’s milk, and stored at 4°C during 2 wk. The yield of yogurt-cheeses made with added soy milk was decreased and the cutting point was delayed compared to yogurt-cheese made without soy milk. Yogurt-cheese made using ultrafiltrated cow’s milk showed the highest yield. However, yogurt-cheese made with added soy milk had higher protein content and titratable acidity than yogurt-cheese made using raw and ultrafiltrated cow’s milk. Fat and lactose contents in the yogurt-cheese made with added soy milk were lower. Yogurt-cheeses made with added soy milk contained several soy protein bands corresponding to the sizes of α₂-, β-, and κ-casein band. Yogurt-cheese made with added soy milk had similar elasticity to yogurt-cheese made without soy milk but had lower cohesiveness. There was no significant difference in the number of lactic acid bacteria in the different cheeses, as all had over 8.0 Log CFU/g. Considering these data and the fact that proteins and fats of vegetable origin with high biological value were observed as well as unsaturated fats, yogurt-cheese made with added soy milk can be considered to be a functional food.

본 연구에서는 박테리오신을 생성하는 P. acidilactici를 적용한 기능성 요거트를 제조하여 항균활성과 프로바이오틱스로서의 품질을 평가하였다. Yogurt starter로는 시판되는 요거트에서 분리한 혼합 균주 3종(S. thermophilus, Lb. bulgaricus, Lb. rhamnosus GG)을 사용하였으며, 혼합 균주와 P. acidilactici HW01, P. acidilactici JM01, P. acidilactici K10을 각각 혼합 접종하여 각각의 요거트를 제조한 다음 유산균의 생균수, pH, brix를 측정한 결과, 유산균의 생균수는 모두 8.0 Log CFU/mL 이상의 생균수가 검출되어 유산균 발효유로서 기준에 적합하였다. 또한 pH와 brix를 측정한 결과, 발효 후 시간이 지남에 따라 모두 감소하였다. 우유나 유제품의 오염에 있어서 유의해야 할 병원성 균인 L. monocytogenes를 통해 병원성 저해능을 측정하였으며 L. monocytogenes가 발효 후 3일째부터 모두 저해되는 것이 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 박테리오신 생성 균주인 P. acidilactici HW01, P. acidilactici JM01, P. acidilactici K10이 발효유제품 제조에 있어서 요거트 제품의 변화 없이 프로바이오틱 효과를 지닌 균주로 기대되며, 식품안정성 및 새로운 프로바이오틱스 유제품 개발에 도움을 줄 것이라 예상된다. 그리고 L. monocytogenes 외의 다른 병원성 균의 저해효과에 대한 연구 및 요거트의 저장온도에 따른 병원성 저해효과 차이에 대한 연구도 기대된다. 따라서 박테리오신 생성 균주를 활용한 기능성 식품을 실제 식품산업에 적용한다면 안전성 및 신제품 개발에 대한 연구가 더 이루어져야 될 것으로 보인다.

This study evaluated the effects of two Korean traditional plant extracts (Diospyros kaki THUNB. leaf; DK, and Nelumbo nucifera leaf; NN) on the fermentation, functional and sensory properties of herbal yogurts. Compared to control fermentation, all plant extracts increased acidification rate and reduced the time to complete fermentation (pH 4.5). Supplementation of plant extracts and storage time were found to influence the characteristics of the yogurts, contributing to increased viability of starter culture and phenolic compounds. In particular, the increase in the counts of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus was highest (2.95 and 1.14 Log CFU/mL respectively) in DK yogurt. Furthermore, supplementation of the plant extracts significantly influenced to increase the antioxidant activity and water holding capacity and to produce volatile compounds. The higher antioxidant activity and water holding capacity were observed in NN yogurt than DK yogurt. Moreover, all of the sensory characteristics were altered by the addition of plant extracts. Addition of plant extracts increased the scores related to flavor, taste, and texture from plain yogurt without a plant extract, as a result of volatile compounds analysis. Thus, the overall preference was increased by plant extracts. Consequently, supplementation of DK and NN extracts in yogurt enhanced the antioxidant activity and physical property, moreover increased the acceptability of yogurt. These findings demonstrate the possibility of using plant extracts as a functional ingredient in the manufacture of herbal yogurt.

Recently, yogurt has been extensively studied to further enhance its functions using edible plant extracts. This study was conducted to investigate whether safflower petal (SP) as a natural food additive can be used to develop functional yogurt with improved health benefits. SPs were extracted with ethanol (SPE) and hot water (SPW), and then safflower yogurt was prepared by adding 0%-1.0% of those extracts to plain yogurt. With an increase in the fermentation duration, the pH of SPE and SPW yogurt samples was decreased, whereas titratable acidity and microbial counts were increased. The concentration of total polyphenols and total flavonoids, the activity of antioxidants, and the inhibitory effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS) were higher in SPW yogurt than SPE yogurt. Furthermore, α-glucosidase and lipase activity inhibitory effects of SPW yogurt were higher than those of SPE yogurt. In particular, free radical-scavenging activities, ROS inhibitory effect, and α-glucosidase activity inhibitory effects were significantly increased in SPW yogurt in a dose-dependent manner. Overall, these results suggest that SP extract possesses antioxidant activities and that it can downregulate α-glucosidase and lipase activities. The SP extract may have potential benefits as a natural food additive for the development of functional yogurt.

A functional yogurt was prepared from whole milk (12%) and skim milk (2%) added with green tea and mugwort tea at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 24 hors. The yogurt product were evaluated for acid production (pH, titratable acidity), number of viable cell, viscosity, sensory property and quality-keeping property. Addition of green tea and mugwort tea remarkably accelerated acid production of yogurt. After 24 hrs incubation, titratabel acidity of green tea and mugwort tea yogurt was 1.46% and 1.62%, respectively and was higher than that (1.30%) of yogurt made with only milk. The propagation of lactic acid bacteria was not stimulated by green tea and mugwort tea and then the number of viable cell in normal (milk) yogurt green tea yogurt and mugwort tea yogurt groups, after 24 hrs incubation, was about 7.2$\times$$10^{8}$, 7.1$\times$$10^{8}$ and 7.0$\times$$10^{8}$/mL, respectively, Viscosity of green tea yogurt was slightly lower than that of milk yogurt (1,840 cps) and viscosity of mugwort tea yogurt was slightly higher than that of mild yogurt. The overall sensory score of green tea yogurt was the best of tested yogurt. When yogurt with green tea and mugwort tea was kept at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 15 days, its quality-keeping property was relatively good.

In order to develop and commercialize high quality frozen soy yogurt, the effects of industrial proteases and commercial mixed cultures were examined on the functional properties and the sensory attributes of frozen soy yogurt. For quality improvement, soy protein isolates were primarily hydrolyzed by either Flavourzyme or Neurtrase, industrial Proteases, to reduce the beany flavor and increase the functional properties of the protein. The viable cell count of lactic acid bacteria was higher in the soy protein hydrolysates than whenuntreated. ABT-5 (L. acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, and S. thermophilus) resulted in higher acid tolerance, bile acid tolerance and melt-down percent values than those with YC-X11 (Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococci thermophilus). The overrun of frozen soy yogurt was improved by both Flavourzyme $(193.3\%)$ and Neurtrase $(156.7\%)$ treatments. With regard to thesensory characteristics, Flavourzyme improved the beany flavor, astringency taste, mouth feel and overall quality of frozen soy yogurts fermented with ABT-5. Further studies onproduct formulation will be needed to commercialize the frozen soy yogurt for the market.

Most consumers consider yogurt to be a healthy food because it contains probiotic microorganisms. Although a plethora of commercially produced yogurts exists, nutritional and functional aspects of the commercial yogurts have not been well characterized. In this study, the microbiological and physicochemical properties of popular drinking yogurts in Korea were extensively characterized. The viability of lactic acid bacteria, including lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, varied between yogurt samples. These lactobacilli and bifidobacteria showed effective antimicrobial activities against foodborne pathogenic bacteria. Unlike the titratable acidity and pH, the soluble solids content varied between yogurt samples. All the yogurt samples contained high levels of potassium (average 143.53 mg/100 g) and calcium (average 133.92 mg/100 g), as well as phosphorus and sodium. Lactose, fructose, and glucose were the major sugar components in most yogurt samples, whereas the levels of sucrose and maltose were relatively low. Among several organic acids analyzed in the yogurt samples, lactic acid (average 767.67 mg/100 g) and citric acid (average 170.91 mg/100 g) were the most predominant. Taken together, this study provides preliminary information about the nutritional and functional characteristics of commercially available drinking yogurts.
