This study investigated the effects of applying cellulase and starch on the fermentation characteristics and microbial communities of Napier grass silage after ensiling for 30 d. Three groups were studied: No additives (control); added cellulase (Group 1); and added cellulase and starch (Group 2). The results showed that the addition of cellulase and starch decreased the crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and pH significantly (p < 0.05) and increased water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) content (p < 0.05). The addition of additives in two treated groups exerted a positive effect on the lactic acid (LA) content, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) population, and lactic acid / acetic acid (LA/AA) ratio, even the changes were not significant (p > 0.05). Calculation of Flieg's scores indicated that cellulase application increased silage quality to some extent, while the application of cellulase and starch together significantly improved fermentation (p < 0.05). Compared with the control, both additive groups showed increased microbial diversity after ensiling with an abundance of favorable bacteria including Firmicutes and Weissella, and the bacteria including Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Acinetobacter increased as well. For alpha diversity analysis, the combined application of cellulase and starch in Group 2 gave significant increases in all indices (p < 0.05). The study demonstrated that the application of cellulase and starch can increase the quality of Napier grass preserved as silage.

In the current study, lactic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus were used as a mixed additive for the production of Orchardgrass silage by ensiled method and nutritional change fermentation ability and microbial content of experimental silages. The addition of LAB to Orchardgrass during ensiling process rapidly reduced the pH of the silages than the non-inoculated silages. In addition, the lactic and acetic acid content of silage was increased by LAB strains than the non-inoculated silages whereas butyric acid content was reduced in silage treated with LAB. A microbiological study revealed that higher LAB but lower yeast counts were observed in inoculated silages compared to non-inoculated silage. Overall data suggested that the addition of LAB stains could have ability to induce the fermentation process and improve the silage quality via increasing lactic acid and decreasing undesirable microbes.

배추즙을 유산균 배양 배지로 사용하기 위하여 배춧잎을 구연산 3%, 에탄올 7% 혼합용액으로 10분간 교반하여 세척하고 3분간 탈수하여 착즙한 결과, 세척수율은 80.82%, 착즙수율은 79.32%로 전체수율이 64.11% 이었고, 배추즙의 일반세균수가 3.69 log CFU/g으로 2.84 log CFU/g 감소하였고 유산균수가 2.01 log CFU/g으로 2.43 log CFU/g 낮아졌으며, 염도가 0.26%였고, pH가 2.98로 변화하여 상온에서 8일간 보관하면서 pH와 미생물수의 변화가 유의적이지 않아서 유산균 배양용 배지로 적합할 것으로 보인다. 또한 배춧잎은 구연산-에탄올 용액으로 세척하는 것이 구연산-에탄올-소금 용액으로 세척하는 것보다 수율과 미생물 감균효과가 더 높았다.

Quality characteristics of yogurt with added colored barely flour was investigated during fermentation by lactic acid bacteria. Chemical properties such as moisture, crude protein, starch, ash and ${\beta}$-glucan contents was measured. pH, acidity, brix, Hunter color value and growth of lactic acid bacteria in yogurt was investigated during fermentation by L. acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, and S. thermophilus mixed culture. Crude protein contents of Daeanchal and Boseokchal was 16.16 and 12.17%, respectively. Starch contents of daeanchal were shown lower score. The pH of yogurt by addition of barley flour (Daeanchal) addition 0 and 20% were 6.66 and 6.40, respectively. The pH of yogurt supplemented with barley flour tended to be lower than before control which was not added barely flours and oligosaccharide in yogurt. Titratable acidity of yogurt added barley flour was higher compared with that of control. Brix of yogurt was decreased during fermentation by lactic acid bacteria. Lightness of yogurt added barley flour (Daeanchal) addition 0 and 20% were 83.25 and 69.83, respectively. The original microbial population of the yogurt during 0, 5, 8, and 15 hr fermentation were 7.48, 7.79, 8.15, and 8.71 Log CFU/g, respectively. Moreover, the addition of colored barley flour was to promote the proliferation of lactic acid bacteria in yogurt. In our research, addition of colored barley flours added into the yogurt may also have contributed to growth of lactic acid bacteria.

We measured physiological functionalities, including antihypertensive angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity and immun-stimulating ${\beta}$-glucan content for sixty kinds of Makgeolli that is commercially available from the market. As a result, we selected R-12 commercial raw Makgeolli, with a high content of immuno-stimulating ${\beta}$-glucan, and R-14 commercial raw Makgeolli, exhibiting high antihypertensive activity. Due to the similarities in their overall physicochemical properties and raw materials used for fermentation, we compared the microbial flora in order to investigate the reason for the differences in their functionalities. Nested PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis for yeasts and bacteria were performed for analysis of microbial diversity of two different kinds of Makgeolli (i.e., R-12, R-14), which showed immuno-stimulating ${\beta}$-glucan content and exhibited a very high level of antihypertensive activity, respectively. Analysis of the 18S rDNA amplicon revealed a major presence of the yeast strain Pichia burtonii in every Makgeolli sample. Analysis of the 16S rDNA amplicon revealed a predominance of lactic acid bacteria, and the most frequent lactic acid bacteria were Lactobacillus ingluviei, L. fermentum, and L. harbinensis, and Lactobacillus sp. Among these, L. harbinensis was detected only in R-12 and L. ingluviei was found only in R-14. Different functionalities from the individual commercially available Makgeolli may be attributed to actions of different microbial flora during fermentation.

Objectives: This study investigated the effect on microbial ecology, fermentation characteristics and anti-obesity of Platycodon grandiflorum (PG) fermentation with salt. Methods: PG was fermented for four weeks with 2.5% salt and the characteristics of fermented PG were performed by measuring pH, total sugar content, viable bacteria number and microbial profiling. Also, we measured total polyphenol, flavonoid and the percent of inhibition of lipase activity and lipid accumulation. Results: Salt added to PG for fermentation had an effect on pH, total sugar, total and the number of lactic acid bacteria. Total sugar and pH were reduced and number of total and lactic acid bacteria were increased after fermentation. The majority of bacteria for fermentation were Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc psedomesenteroides and Lactococcus lactis subspecies lactis regardless of salt addition. However, microbial compositions were altered by added salt and additional bacteria including Weissella koreensis, W. viridescens, Lactobacillus sakei and Lactobacillus cuvatus were found in fermented PG with salt. Total flavonoid was increased in fermented PG and lipid accumulation on HepG2 cells treated with fermented PG was reduced regardless of salt addition. Moreover, fermented PG without salt suppressed lipase activity. Conclusions: Addition of salt for PG fermentation had influence on fermentation characteristics including pH and sugar content as well as number of bacteria and microbial composition. In addition, fermented PG showed anti-obesity effect by increasing flavonoid content and inhibition of lipase activity and lipid accumulation.

The objective of the study was to measure the beneficial effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculation on the nutritive value of oat silage collected from thirteen regions in the Republic of Korea. The contents of crude protein, acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and crude ash (CA) were slightly lower in LAB inoculated silage when compared with the control silage, whereas inoculation of LAB resulted in increased total digestible nutrient (TDN). Higher number of LAB, but lower count of yeast and fungi indicated the effectiveness of the LAB inoculation on oat silage fermentation. LAB inoculation resulted in low pH silage, which may prevent undesirable microbial growth. The LAB inoculation promoted lactic acid dominant fermentation with marginal levels of acetic acid and butyric acid in oat silage. These data suggest that the LAB inoculation may preserve oat silage at better quality for ruminant animal production.

Ginsenosides have been regarded as the principal components responsible for the pharmacological and biological activities of ginseng. The transformation of ginsenosides with live lactic acid bacteria transformed ginsenosides Rb2 and Rc into Rd, but the reactions were slow. When the crude enzymes obtained from several lactic acid bacteria were used for transformation, those from Bifidobacterium sp. Int57 exhibited the most potent transforming activity of ginsenosides to compound K. In comparison, a relatively higher level of Rh2 was produced by the enzymes from Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. These results suggest that it is feasible to develop a specific bioconversion process to obtain specific ginsenosides using the appropriate combination of ginsenoside substrates and specific microbial enzymes.

한국 전통민속주의 한 종류인 한산 소곡주는 여름철에는 저장 도중 급속히 시어져 상품으로서의 가치를 잃게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이 시어짐의 원인을 규명하기 위하여 소곡주 제품에 잔존하고 있는 미생물의 분리 및 동정, 정상 소곡주와 시어진 소곡주에서의 미생물 균총의 차이, pH변화, 유기산 함량 등을 조사하였다. 정상 소곡주에 존재하는 유기산의 대부분은 lactic acid였고, 그 농도는 161 mM 였으며 그 외에도 소량의 acetic acid, malic acid, propionic acid가 존재하였다. 소곡주에 존재하는 미생물 균총은 Lactobacillus속 균, Bacillus속 균, 그리고 yeast로 동정되었다. $30^{\circ}C$에 18일 동안 방치한 소곡주는 pH가 4.01에서 3.29로 떨어졌고 산함량은 9에서 34.86으로 증가했다. 정상 소곡주와 비교한 경우 시어진 소곡주에 현저하게 증가한 양이 존재하는 유기산은 lactic acid로서 그 농도는 192 mM이었으며, 그외의 다른 유기산의 농도는 거의 변화가 없었다. 따라서 소곡주 시어짐의 원인은 소곡주 내에 잔존하는 Lactobacillus속 세균에 의한 추가적인 젖산의 생성때문인 것으로 추정되었다. 소곡주의 품질은 $15^{\circ}C$에서 41일 동안 유지되었다.

담금방법을 달리하여 제조한 메주, 고오지, amylase, protease 고추장의 유기산과 지방산을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. Citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, formic acid, oxalic acid, acetic acid가 고추장에서 검출되었다. Citric acid는 $450{\sim}565$ mg%로 가장 많은 량으로 나타났고 다음이 lactic acid, malic acid 등이었다. 유기산 총량은 담금직후에 메주고추장이, 90일후는 고오지 고추장이 높았으나 시험구간의 함량차이는 적었다. Oleic acid, palmitic acid, lauric acid, linoleic acid, myristic acid, stearic acid가 고추장에서 검출되었다. Oleic acid는 $68.59{\sim}75.38%$로 가장 높은 함유율을 나타냈으나 각시험구간의 지방산 조성비율은 차이가 거의 없었다.
