Secondary metabolites in the culture filtrates of lactic acid bacteria offer varied chiral moieties, making them a valuable resource for drug design scaffolding. Our previous methodology included using a combination of anion exchange resins, Amberlite IRA-67 and Purolite A420S, to purify significant quantities of Lactobacillus plantarum LBP-K10 peptidyl compounds. However, current experimental evidence regarding the impact of native culture extracts and/or filtrates on pathogenic fungi in vivo/in vitro is insufficient. This study analyzed the antifungal properties of two different probiotic cultures: the CH₂Cl₂-extracted filtrate of Chinese cabbage kimchi (CH₂Cl₂-extracted CCK_WLB and CH₂Cl₂-extracted CCK_WOLB) and the non-extracted filtrate of Chinese cabbage kimchi (non-extracted CCK_WLB and non-extracted CCK_WOLB). The samples were divided into two groups: one group was inoculated with probiotics while the other group remained non-inoculated. Filtrates from both experimental groups were utilized for antifungal assays. The treatments employing CCK_WLB, with an initial inoculation of Lb. plantarum LBP-K10 as a starter, demonstrated significant antifungal activity under various experimental conditions. Our study offers new perspectives on the antifungal properties of CH₂Cl₂-extracted kimchi filtrates, which are naturally produced by lactobacilli. The efficacy of antifungal compounds is supported by substantial evidence demonstrating their efficient uptake by cells and the antifungal properties exerted by metabolites.

This study was conducted to develop natural additive for the improvement of lipid stability and the suppression of pathogenic contamination during the storage periods of fermented sausage. Fermented sausage prepared with grapefruit extract showed good suppression of lipid oxidation and pathogenic bacterial growth, and it was higher than that of fermented sausage prepared with nitrate until 7 days of storage. Fermented sausage prepared with treatment A (sodium nitrate and L. acidophilus), B (sodium nitrate and L. brevis), C (ascorbic acid and L. brevis) and D (grapefruit extract and L. brevis) were compared. As results, treatment C and D showed the lowest pH changes among treatments, and the highest growth of lactic acid bacteria was represented in treatment D. In the suppression effect of E. coli, the bacterial count was below 100 in all treatment except the treatment A. There were no differences among treatment in the brightness of meat color (p<0.05). Treatment D showed significantly high values in the redness, but showed the lowest values in the yellowness. In sensory and texture test, treatment C and D were superior compared to others. Therefore, grapefruit was represented as a good source of antioxidant for fermented sausage, and L. brevis isolated from kimchi was effect in lowering pH value of sausage during fermentation and it was also effective to persist fermentation during storage period and to reduce the occurrence of pathogenic bacteria by the suppression of their growth.
