We examined the role of microorganisms in the degradation of the organophosphorus (OP) insecticide chlorpyrifos (CP) during kimchi fermentation. During the fermentation of kimchi, 30 mg L(-1) of CP was added and its stability assayed during fermentation. CP was degraded rapidly until day 3 (83.3%) and degraded completely by day 9. Four CP-degrading lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from kimchi fermentation in the presence of 200 mg L(-1) CP and were identified as Leuconostoc mesenteroides WCP907, Lactobacillus brevis WCP902, Lactobacillus plantarum WCP931, and Lactobacillus sakei WCP904. CP could be utilized by these four strains as the sole source of carbon and phosphorus. Coumaphos (CM), diazinon (DZ), parathion (PT), and methylparathion (MPT) were also degraded by WCP907, WCP902, WCP931, and WCP904 when provided as sole sources of carbon and phosphorus.

This study examines the impact of the complex microbiota from long-term fermented kimchi, used as a backslop, on fermentation dynamics. The fermentation was conducted with autoclaved (group A) and non-autoclaved (NA) starter cultures. Bacterial and fungal communities were analyzed with 16S rRNA gene V4 and ITS2 region, respectively, and metabolites were profiled using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Some lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce antibacterial substances such as bacteriocins, making them promising candidates for food preservation. In our study, PCZ4-a strain with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity-was isolated from traditional fermented kimchi in Sichuan. Whole-genome sequencing of PCZ4 revealed one chromosome and three plasmids.

Aging is a complex process that involves many physiological mechanisms that gradually impair normal cellular and tissue function and make us more susceptible to diseases and death. It is influenced by intrinsic factors like cellular function and extrinsic factors like pollution and UV radiation. Recent scientific studies show that traditional plant-based foods and supplements can help mitigate the effects of aging.

Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish made from fermenting vegetables. The fermentation process is crucial for enhancing its quality and flavor during storage. Approaches such as hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and chemometrics (PLS, partial least square; SVR, support vector regression) including principal component analysis (PCA), and 2-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) can detect key physical and chemical components and changes in total soluble solids (TSS), pH, titratable acidity (TA), salinity, and lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

In this study, we prepared , a traditional Korean alcoholic beverage, by adding 20 % raw (Cf) to a base of rice and oats (1:1 ratio) (COM). We analyzed its quality characteristics and antioxidant activity. The rice-based with Cf was designated as the control (CRM).
