BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
(23) The method for preparing a garlic fermented composition according to the present invention will be described with reference to
(24) (1) Preparation of Main Ingredients
(25) {circle around (1)} Garlic
(26) The garlic can be used as an ingredient after a refresh garlic is peeled and washer and crushed or it is steamed.
(27) {circle around (2)} Fermentation Strain
(28) Any kinds of fermentation strains may be available as long as it is able to ferment a garlic. In the present invention, a Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis (Microorganism deposit number KACC91554P) was used.
(29) (2) First Fermentation
(30) This was referred to a process wherein the crushed refresh garlic or the steamed garlic and water and a fermentation strain are were mixed and aerobically fermented, and the sugar and protein of the garlic were decomposed.
(31) The natural product formed of a single substance may have both a medicine property and a toxic property. There may be a limit to eliminating the toxic component and extracting the medicine component when preparing a health-related food and medicine. The fermentation is referred to a process wherein the toxic component is eliminated while increasing and doubling the medicine component. The present invention is intended to eliminate the toxic component of the garlic through the fermentation while increasing the medicine component.
(32) It is preferred that the amount of water is 120 times of the garlic in terms of their weight, and the amount of the fermentation strain is 0.011 part by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the mixture of the garlic and water.
(33) For the sake of an efficient fermentation, 0.51.5% of a monosaccharide or a disaccharide the amount of which was appropriate for the cultivation of the microorganism and a corresponding amount of the fermentation strain were added to a corresponding amount of water, and it was cultivated for a predetermined time, and the maximum activation of the microorganism was guided first, and then a corresponding garlic was inputted, and the mixture was fermented.
(34) The dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration based on the ratio of the sugar and protein of the garlic was set, and the air was injected using a small foaming device which was installed separate, and the appropriate temperature based on the optimum fermentation was controlled.
(35) The mixture of the garlic, water and fermentation strain was fermented for 315 days at 2040 C., during which the protein would be decomposed, so the amino nitrogen content, the protease activity and the number of living bacterium were shown high.
(36) (3) Second Fermentation
(37) This was referred to a process wherein the fermented substance was subjected to a solid-liquid separation, and a filtrate was obtained, and a carbon source was added to the filtrate which was lack of carbon, and the ammonia of the filtrate was removed, and the added carbon source was decomposed.
(38) During the fermentation procedure, the amino acid was decomposed, during which the ammonia was produced. It is advantageous that the growth of other bacterium can be inhibited thanks to the presence of the ammonia, but a bad smell occurred due to decay. The ammonia was the index which showed a food decay or an abnormal fermentation.
(39) In order to eliminate the ammonia according to the present invention, the contents of the organic substance of the filtrate and the ammonia were quantitatively measured, and the organic substance which was necessary to eliminate the ammonia was calculated, and the lacking carbon source was added, and then the fermentation was carried out.
(40) The concentration measurement of an accurate organic substance is an important measurement index in terms of a complete fermentation. There is not any fermentation example which has been carried out by applying a garlic or other high concentration substances to the food through any of the CODMn method and the CODcr method.
(41) In the present invention, the concentration of the organic substance was measure using the CODcr method. The CODMn method which is mainly used as a concentration measurement method of an organic substance is not able to measure after recognizing an organic substance which can be decomposed by microorganism and an organic substance which cannot be decomposed thereby, for which the accuracy may become very low at a high concentration. Compared to the aforementioned method, the CODcr method is able to measure after it recognizes an organic substance that a microorganism is able to decompose and an organic substance that a microorganism is not able to decompose, for which the accurate is high at a high concentration.
(42) If the lacking carbon source is supplied with respect to the content of the organic substance the microorganism is able to decompose, a complete fermentation may be carried out.
(43) It is preferred that the product of the carbon source which is able to maximize the medicine property for each disease symptom, is added. For example, the carbon source having a medicine property may be any of the fruits, for example, a persimmon skin, a kiwi, a pineapple, a pear, a grape, a berry, etc. and an onion and a honey. The flavonoid component or other nutrition component are able to enhance the medicine property of the garlic and are able to provide a soft taste while extending a staying time in a body.
(44) The filtrate to which the carbon source is added, is fermented under the optimum fermentation condition. The fermentation condition can be established optimum after considering the number of living bacterium of the filtrate and the characteristic of the fermentation strain. The fermentation period is referred to a period until the blood sugar becomes below 0.3 brix after the blood sugar of the filtrate is measured. The average fermentation temperature is 2040 C., and the fermentation period is about 17 days.
(45) The method for extracting a useful component using an organic solvent may obtain both a medicine property and a toxic component of the natural product; however the fermentation process which uses a microorganism, is able to decompose toxic components while maximizing a medicine property, and it is able to increase an absorption ratio, and since the organic solvent is not used, it is advantageous that a recovery cost is low.
(46) The extraction process has a low recovery ratio of the useful component, and the first and second fermentations of the present invention may provide over 90% of the recovery ratio of the useful component, whereby it is possible to recover the useful components with a high concentration.
(47) Moreover, the useful components may be changed into a nano-molecular by means of the microorganism, which may increase the absorption ratio, and since the useful components can be changed into an enzyme, the enzyme in the body is not used, and instead it can be advantageously converted into a metabolism energy. Most of the enzyme may be eliminated by a junk food, an aging process, etc. and the depletion of the enzyme may cause an aging and a disease. The fermented food made using a microorganism may be used as a metabolism energy without separating using the enzyme in our body.
(48) (4) Ultrafiltration
(49) This was referred to a process wherein the fermentation strain and residue in the fermented substance were removed through the ultrafiltration of the fermentation liquid which had been subjected to the second fermentation. The garlic fermented composition liquid of the present invention was prepared through the aforementioned procedures. The thusly prepared products can be stored for a long time if a preserved agent of the food is not added.
(50) Instead of using the ultrafiltration method, the product may be prepared in such a way that the fermentation substance is processed by a common disinfection method or a sterilization method.
(51) The present invention will be described in details through the embodiments. It is obvious to a person having ordinary kill in the art that the following embodiments are provided for illustrative purposes, not limiting the light scope of the present invention. The simple modification or changes of the present invention may be available by a person having ordinary skill in the art, and these modification or changes may belong to the region of the present invention.
