This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of lactic acid bacterial fermentation on the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of an edible brown alga, Eisenia bicyclis. Lactic acid bacteria were inoculated into and cultivated in E. bicyclis water extract. The antioxidant activity of the extract was assayed before and following fermentation. Antioxidant activity was determined by assaying the levels of radical scavenging activity against 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl radical and alkyl radical. The lactic acid bacterial fermentation of E. bicyclis extract resulted in enhanced antioxidant activity. The greatest enhancement of antioxidant activity was seen in the DPPH radical scavenging assay, in which E. bicyclis extract was fermented by Pediococcus pentosaceus MBP-34 strain for 12 h. This fermented extract also exhibited higher inhibitory activity (96.66%) on nitric oxide production compared with other lactic acid bacterial fermented extracts or raw extract (189.60%). In conclusion, fermentation by bacterial strain is an attractive strategy for developing value-added food ingredients.

Modeling the growth kinetics of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), one of the most valuable microbial groups in the food industry, has been actively pursued in order to understand, control, and optimize the relevant fermentation processes. Most modeling approaches have focused on the development of single population models. Primary single population models provide fundamental kinetic information on the proliferation of a primary LAB species, the effects of biological factors on cell inhibition, and the metabolic reactions associated with cell growth. Secondary single population models can evaluate the dependence of primary model parameters, such as the maximum specific growth rate of LAB, on the initial external environmental conditions. This review elucidates some of the most important single population models that are conveniently applicable to the LAB fermentation analyses. Also, a well-defined mixed population model is presented as a valuable tool for assessing potential microbial interactions during fermentation with multiple LAB species.

Kimchi is a traditional Korean vegetable product that is naturally fermented by various microorganisms present in the raw materials. Among these microorganisms, lactic acid bacteria dominate the fermentation process. Natural fermentation with unsterilized raw materials leads to the growth of various lactic acid bacteria, resulting in variations in the taste and quality of kimchi, which may make it difficult to produce industrial-scale kimchi with consistent quality. The use of starter cultures has been considered as an alternative for the industrial production of standardized kimchi, and recent trends suggest that the demand for starter cultures is on the rise. However, several factors should be carefully considered for the successful application of starter cultures for kimchi fermentation. In this review, we summarize recent studies on kimchi starter cultures, describe practical problems in the application of industrial-scale kimchi production, and discuss the directions for further studies.

This study was conducted to evaluate the growth of lactic acid bacteria and quality characteristics of Baechu kimchi prepared with four types of salt (Solar salt, Flower salt, Hanju salt, and Roasted salt) at two different concentrations (10, 15%) during storage. The quality characteristics of kimchi were examined by investigating acid production, growth of lactic acid bacteria, sensory properties, salinity, texture, and color characteristics. Baechu kimchi was fermented for 18 days at $10^{\circ}C$. The pH and total acidity did not change during storage according to type and concentration of salt. Growth of lactic acid bacteria was not affected by type of salt, whereas it was inhibited at 15% salt concentration after 9 days of fermentation. In the quantitative descriptive analysis of sensory properties, kimchi prepared with 10% salt showed significantly higher scores in term of overall acceptability (p<0.05). Meanwhile, there was no significant difference by type of salt. For texture characteristics, hardness of kimchi prepared with 10% salt was significantly higher than that with 20% salt. For color characteristics, L value (brightness) and b values (yellowness) of kimchi prepared with 10% salt increased during fermentation, whereas a value (redness) did not change by type and concentration of salt. The results of this study show that there were no considerable differences in quality characteristics of Baechu kimchi prepared with various types and concentrations of salt. However, Solar salt resulted in more favorable sensory properties and salinity of kimchi than any other types. Further, kimchi prepared with 10% salt showed significantly higher scores in terms of overall acceptability, growth of lactic acid bacteria, salinity, texture, and color characteristics.

A galactose fermentation bacterium producing lactose from red seaweed, which was known well to compromise the galactose as main reducing sugar, was isolated from button mushroom bed in Buyeo-Gun, Chungchugnamdo province. The lactic acid bacteria MONGB-2 was identified as Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. tolerans by analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence. When the production of lactic acid and acetic acid by L. paracasei MONGB-2 was investigated by HPLC analysis with various carbohydrates, the strain MONGB-2 efficiently convert the glucose and galactose to lactic acid with the yield of 18.86 g/L and 18.23 g/L, respectively and the ratio of lactic acid to total organic acids was 1.0 and 0.91 g/g for both substrates. However, in the case of acetic acid fermentation, other carbohydrates besides galactose and red seaweed hydrolysate could not be totally utilized as carbon sources for acetic acid production by the strain. The lactic acid production from glucose and galactose in the fermentation time courses was gradually enhanced upto 60 h fermentation and the maximal concentration reached to be 16-18 g/L from both substrates after 48 h of fermentation. The initial concentration of glucose and galactose were completely consumed within 36 h of fermentation, of which the growth of cell also was maximum level. In addition, the bioconversion of lactic acid from the red seaweed hydrolysate by L. paracasei MONGB-2 appeared to be about 20% levels of the initial substrates concentration and this results were entirely lower than those of galactose and glucose showed about 60% of conversion. The apparent results showed that L. paracasei MONGB-2 could produce the lactic acid with glucose as well as galactose by the homofermentation through EMP pathway.

현재까지 젖산 발효 음료는 우유나 혹은 그 관련 제품을 이용하여 제조하였으나 쌀을 액화 혹은 당화시켜 젖산균을 증식시키므로서 기호성 있는 젖산 발효제품 생산 가능성을 확인하였다. 멥쌀을 12시간 침지 후 총 흡수량이 무게비율로 쌀:물이 1:1이 되게 하여 $121^{\circ}C$에서 20분 살균 후 액화 효소인 ${\alpha}-amylase$를 작용시켜 액화한 후 이 액에 Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus plantarum를 단독으로 혹은 혼합하여 접종한 후 배양하여 쌀을 이용한 젖산 발효 제품을 얻었다. 제품의 관능검사 결과 최적 pH는 3.7 부근으로 발효시작 후 18시간이 소요되었으며 젖산균은 세 균주를 혼합하는 것이 가장 좋았으나, L. plantarum과 가장 관계가 깊었다. Skim milk는 젖산 발효를 촉진하나 제품의 관능검사 결과 열등하였고 호상보다는 액상(쌀1 : 물3) 제품이 우수하였다.
