Physiological functionalities of culture concentrates from various fungi were investigated. The culture concentrates from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y277-3 showed the highest tyrosinase inhibitory activity of 42.7%. Among mold physiological functionalities, the culture concentrates from Aspergillus orygae CN20-3-1-4 showed the highest antioxidant activity of 15.8%. The other functionalities of fungi were very low or not detected. The intracellular tyrosinase inhibitor from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y277-3, which showed the highest physiological functionalities was maximally produced when the strain was cultured in PD broth at 30 oC for 24 h.
