Traditionally made Kochujang (TMK) is a long-term fermented soybean and rice mixture with red pepper and salts. The ambient bacteria in rice straw and nutrient components of Kochujang influence the bacteria community. We aimed to investigate the bacterial composition and quality of TMK from different provinces of Korea: Chungcheung (CC), Jeolla (JL), Kyungsang (KS), and GeongGee plus Kangwon (GK) provinces, and Jeju island (JJ). Furthermore, Bacillus spp. isolated from TMK were studied to have anti-cerebrovascular disease activity and probiotic properties. Seventy-three TMK samples from different regions were collected to assess the biogenic amine contents, bacteria composition using next-generation methods, and bacterial functions using Picrust2. Bacillus spp. was isolated from the collected TMK, and their antioxidant, fibrinolytic, and angiotensin I conversion enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities and probiotic properties were examined. KS TMK had lower sodium contents than the other TMK. There were no significant differences in histamine and tyramine contents among the TMK samples in different provinces. The predominant bacteria in TMK was Bacillus spp., but KS included much less Bacillus spp. and higher Enterococcus and Staphylococcus than the other TMK. Gene expression related to lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis was higher in KS TMK than the other TMK in Picrust2. The predominant Bacillus spp. isolated from TMK was B. subtilis and B. velezensis. B. subtilis SRCM117233, SRCM117245, and SRCM117253 had antioxidant activity, whereas B. subtilis had higher fibrinolytic activity than other Bacillus spp. Only B. velezensis SRCM117254, SRCM117311, SRCM117314, and SRCM117318 had over 10% ACE inhibitory activity. In conclusion, KS had less Bacillus related to lower sodium contents than the other TMK. The specific strains of B. subtilis and B. velezensis had antioxidant, fibrinolytic, and ACE inhibitory activity, and they can be used as a starter culture to produce better quality controlled Kochujang with anti-cerebrovascular disease activities.

Adjunct cultures are used in cheesemaking to improve the sensory characteristics of the ripened cheeses. In addition, it is known that different adjunct cultures are capable of producing enzymes with the specificity to hydrolyze caseins, leading to the release of various bioactive compounds (bioactive peptides, amino acids, etc.). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of adjunct heat-treated starter XT–312 and a cheese culture Lb. helveticus LH-B01 on the proteolytic activity and angiotensin converting enzymes inhibitors (ACE) in cheese models during ripening. Seven different cheese models were evaluated for: proteolytic activity using the spectrophotometric method with ortho-phthaldialdehyde (OPA), soluble nitrogen (SN), trichloroacetic acid-soluble nitrogen (TCA-SN) phosphotungstic acid-soluble nitrogen (PTA-SN), total nitrogen (TN), pH, contents of water, fat, as well as for total bacteria count (TBC), count of Lactococcus genus bacteria, count of Lb. helveticus, and number of non-starter lactic acid bacteria (NSLAB). Presence of adjunct bacterial cultures both in the form of a cheese culture LH-B01 and heat-treated XT–312 starter promoted primary and secondary proteolysis, which resulted in acceleration of the ripening process. ACE inhibitory activity and proteolytic activity was the highest throughout of ripening for cheese model with LH-B01 culture. The cheese models with the adjunct heat-treated starter were characterized by lower TBC, NSLAB and lower count of Lactococcus genus bacteria during ripening, compared to control cheeses.

Abstract. Rubak YT, Nuraida L, Iswantini D, Prangdimurti E, Sanam MUE. 2021. Peptide profiling of goat milk fermented by Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. delbrueckii BD7: Identification of potential biological activity. Biodiversitas 22: 3136-3145. This study investigated the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity in fermented goat milk by Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. delbrueckii BD7, characterizing the peptide and its potential as a bioactive peptide. The starter culture (2%) was inoculated into pasteurized goat skim milk (11%), then incubated at 37 °C until it reached pH 4.6. Centrifugation at 6000 g x 10 minutes at 4 °C was applied. The supernatant obtained was then ultrafiltrated using a membrane cut-off with a molecular weight of 3 kDa, and the fraction obtained was analyzed to determine the inhibitory activity of ACE. Peptides were characterized using Nano LC / MS / MS, and identification as bioactive peptides was carried out based on a literature review. ACE inhibitory activity of fermented goat milk of Lb. delbrueckii ssp. delbrueckii BD7 was 55.98 ± 3.53%. A total of 157 peptides were released with molecular weights ranging from 770.78 - 2081.12 Da and having 7-19 amino acid residues. The main peptide was hydrolyzed from casein (72.6%), cleavage in the parent protein, specific for aliphatic and aromatic amino acids. Identification of bioactive peptides based on the similarity of amino acid residues at C-terminal obtained 28 ACE inhibitor peptides, 19 antioxidant peptides, and ten antimicrobial peptides. Some of these peptides have homologous sequences with previously reported peptides. Lb. delbrueckii ssp. delbrueckii BD7 has the potential as a starter culture to produce fermented milk, which is rich in biological activity.

ABSTRACT. Three kinds of samles (whey protein containing casenoglycopeptide, whey protein removed casenoglycopeptide and cheese whey powder digested with 7 kinds of proteases at 37 0C for 24 hr (trypsin, protenase-K, actinase-E, thermolysin, and papain) or 25 0C (pepsin and chymotrypsin). Strong inhibotory activity against the angiotensin converting enzyime (ACE, EC 3.4.15.1) was generated in all samples by 5 proteases digestion (pepsin, chymotrypsin, protinase-K, thermolysin and papain). In whey protein removed caseinoglycopeptide digestion by thermolysin induced the highest activity (95,25%). In cheese whey powder, the highest activity was derived by thermolysin (98.25%). On the other hand, week ACE inhibitory activity were derived by trypsin and actinase-E digestion. As no remarkable differences in inhibitory activity were observed between whey protein containing casenoglycopeptide and whey protein removed casenoglycopeptide samples, the bioactive peptides are considered to come mainly not from casenoglycopeptide but from cheese whey powder components.

In this study, the effect of supplementation of low fat bovine milk with whey protein concentrates (WPC) or whey protein hydrolysates (WPH) on the biofunctional and rheological properties of the produced yoghurt was assessed. Six different set type yoghurt products containing 1.6% fat were manufactured and enriched with: a) 1.5% bovine WPC (80% protein), marked as WPC_A yoghurt, b) 1% WPC (80% protein) of ovine/caprine origin, marked as WPC_B yoghurt, c) 2% commercial mixture of milk proteins, i.e. milk protein concentrate/ caseinates /WPC (82% total protein content), marked as MPM yoghurt, d) 0.25% WPC_B hydrolysed with trypsin, marked as WPH_A yoghurt, e) 0.5% commercial WPH, marked as WPH_B1yoghurt, f) 0.25% commercial WPH, marked as WPH_B2 yoghurt. Control yoghurt was manufactured without addition of protein. Results showed that the protein fortification level affected positively the protein, total solids as well as calcium and phosphorous contents of all yoghurt types. The lowest pH values were observed in the case of WPH_B2 yoghurt, while the highest in the case of MPM yoghurt throughout the storage i.e. 21 days. The characteristic microorganisms were in total more than 108cfu/g. Yoghurts fortified with WPH showed higher ACE-inhibitory activity (determined by the HPLC method) than those enriched with WPC. Also, it is noteworthy that WPH_A yoghurt showed significantly (P<0.05) higher ACE-inhibitory activity (72%) than control yoghurt or yoghurts made with the other WPH. On the other hand, WPH_A yoghurt showed the lowest hardness and adhesiveness, whereas MPM yoghurt showed the highest. The type of added whey protein did not affect cohesiveness. Water holding capacity was higher in yoghurts enriched with WPC and MPM than in the yoghurts enriched with WPH. All yoghurts presented antioxidant activity such as DPPH• radical scavenging activity (45-58%). The WPC_A yoghurt, MPM yoghurt, WPH_A yoghurt and control yoghurt presented high Fe2+ chelating activity (>70%), but WPH_A yoghurt presented the highest Fe2+ chelating activity (>95%) throughout storage. In conclusion, fortification of yoghurt milk with WPH increased the biofunctionality of the product, but the use of WPH of ovine/caprine origin increased it significantly.
