Problems solved by technology

The quality change of Kimchi has become an obstacle to providing products having constant quality with customers, especially in a position of business companies commercializing Kimchi.
Especially, Kimchi manufactured in summer (June˜August) has problems like low quality of raw materials and deterioration of fermentation-aging flavor even though the Kimchi would be manufactured by the same fermentation and aging

Deducting Improvement Aspects by Monitoring Kimchi Quality Change During a Year and Isolating GN34 Bacteria

[0044]Quality change of Kimchi was monitored during a year in order to find the causes of quality change and to improve the quality.

[0045]Kimchi manufactured according to the manufacture method of CJ CheilJedang was used. The Kimchi manufactured between March and May, 15 was classified as spring Kimchi; that manufactured between May, 16 and August as summer Kimchi; that manufactured between September and November 15 as autumn Kimchi; and that manufactured between November 16 and February as winter Kimchi.

[0046]As a result of analyzing the taste quality of the Kimchi manufactured in each season in a sensory test by 5-point scale, it was found that the summer Kimchi has a low value of about 3.5 for a general taste item, whereas the Kimchi manufactured in the other season has an average range of 3.8 to 4.0. The above results are shown in the FIG. 1.

Isolation and Identification of Microorganism Leuconostoc citreum CJGN34 Bacteria

[0051]In the above Example 1, the causes responsible for the quality change of Kimchi during a year were analyzed and lactic acid bacteria were isolated from the well-aged delicious winter Kimchi. The lactic acid bacteria were named as Leuconostoc citreum CJGN34. Lactic acid bacteria Leuconostoc citreum CJGN34 were streaked onto solid MRS medium (Difco, USA) containing 1.5% agar and incubated at 30° C. for 24 hrs. Colonies confirmed as being purely separated were taken by a loop and incubated with MRS broth (Difco, USA) at 30° C. for 18 to 24 hrs.

[0052]Then, the morphology and physiological properties of Leuconostoc citreum CJGN34 bacteria were determined with API50CH and API50CHL kits (Bio-Me'reux) according to the methods disclosed in Kim et. al., Leuconostoc inhae sp. nov., a lactic acid bacterium isolated from kimchi, International Journal of Systematic and Evolutional Microbiology, Volume 53, July ...

Safety Assessment of Leuconostoc citreum CJGN34

[0055]Hemolysis test, gelatin liquefaction test, hazardous metabolite (ammonification) test and phenylalanine deaminase test were performed according to the safety assessment methods suggested by the standard of Korea Biotechnology Industry Organization to assess safety of the bacteria isolated from the Example 1. The obtained result is summarized in table 3.

[0056]Based on the above result, Leuconostoc citreum CJGN34 was found negative in all of the gelatin liquefaction test, hazardoug metabolite (ammonification) test, phenylalanine deaminase test and hemolysis test. Accordingly, Leuconostoc citreum CJGN34 was confirmed as being safe for administration to a human being.

Abstract

The present invention relates to Leuconostoc citreum CJGN34 KCTC 10974BP lactic acid bacteria, fermented foods including kimchi manufactured using the lactic acid bacteria as a starter, and lactic acid bacteria composition comprising of the lactic acid bacteria. The novel Leuconostoc citreum CJGN34 of the present invention enhances the general taste quality of kimchi; increases the intrinsic complex sour taste and carbonated taste of kimchi manufactured by traditional manufacturing method in wintertime; and regularly sustains the fermentation quality during the year; particularly, has an effect for controlling the deterioration of fermentation quality in the summer in which the taste quality deteriorates. Thus, the lactic acid bacteria of the present invention can be used as a starter in fermented foods including kimchi, or as a drug medicine in the form of a tablet or capsule mixed with carriers or additives, or a s probiotics for foods; or applied in cosmetic ingredients by mixing in a certain amount. Therefore, the lactic acid bacteria of the present invention can be used in a manner commonly applied in various fields of technology such as medicine, food, feed, cosmetics or the like.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to Leuconostoc citreum bacteria, fermented foods using the bacteria as a starter, and compositions containing the bacteria. More particularly, the present invention relates to Leuconostoc citreum which can induce fermentation flavor and taste quality of Kimchi manufactured in winter throughout a year and, more importantly, can effectively inhibit deterioration of fermentation quality in summer, fermented foods using the bacteria as a starter, and compositions containing the bacteria.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Kimchi is a collective name of fermented vegetable foods representing Korea, which are prepared by salting various vegetables, blending with various seasonings and naturally aging. Especially, representative Kimchi is Gimjang (‘’) Kimchi, a main ingredient of which is Korean cabbage, i.e., Brassica campestris L. Gimjang Kimchi is prepared by salting Korean cabbage and radish harvested at late autumn to early winter...
