Feature
Item Content Remarks
Origin Traditional fermented food (White Kimchi) After completing the whole-genome sequencing, registered on the site the National Institutes of Health(NCBI)
Safety Antibiotics safety / No biogenic amine / No hemolysis Passed the antibiotic sensitivity test based on the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority)
Basic Functionalities Bile salt hydrolase / Peroxide production H2O2 (antibacterial substance) production and BSH (biliary acid catabolic enzyme) production confirmed
Acid resistance, Bile resistance pH 2.0~3.0, survivable in the presence of bile acids The conditions to live to the intestines confirmed
Functionalities
  • Through the animal experiment by using high-fat-fed-induced mice, body fat reducing activation and reducing effect of blood sugar confirmed
  • Through human body application tests, the degradation effects of blood sugar and glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c) for 2 hours later after meal confirmed
  • Increase glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation to muscle tissue, and reduce gluconeogenesis in liver tissue, contributing to lower blood sugar levels
  • Participate in increasing insulin secretion through the recovery effect of pancreatic beta cells
  • Changes in short chain fatty acids and increased butyric acid through intestinal microbiome control contribute to lowering blood sugar
  • In the human body application test, blood sugar was p=0.045 and glycated hemoglobin was p=0.030 for 2 hours later after meals, which were significantly lower than the control group
