현미 당화액에서 Leuconostoc mesenteroides KC51 균주에 의한 산의 생성과 Phytate의 분해

Abstract

A saccharified-rice was fermented using Leuconostoc(Ln.) mesenteroides KC51 strain in various dry matter (DM) contents (4%, 8%, and 12%) at for 18 h. The changes of viable cell number, acid production and phytate degradation in saccharified-rice during fermentation were investigated. The viable cell population of Ln. mesenteroides KC51 was increased rapidly in proportion to DM contents during the 9 h of cultivation. The changes of pH and titratable acidity in saccharified-rice were dependent on DM contents. At high DM content (12%), the viable cell number of Ln. mesenteroides KC51 increased to 9.56 log CFU/g after 6 h of fermentation. The pH and titratable acidity reached to pH 3.38 and 0.93% after 18 h of fermentation, respectively. The phytate, known as an antinutrient factor, in saccharified-rice was degraded by Ln. mesenteroides KC51 cultivation. The decrease of phytate during fermentation approximately coincided with the increase of Ln. mesenteroides KC51 population observed in fermented saccharified-rice. Regardless of DM contents, the levels of phytate were reduced to around 50% of initial concentration.
