Abstract

Yam has been recognized as healthy food due to its various biological activities, such as anti-obesity, antimicrobial, anticancer and immuno-stimulation activities, and its consumption has been increased during last decades. In this study, to investigate low-temperature, long-term storage of yam and to develop processed yam products, yam-putrefactive psychrotrophic bacteria were isolated from rotted yam and identified based on BBL identification system, fatty acid analysis in cell membrane and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The putrefaction activity of isolated thirteen bacteria was evaluated using yam-slices (NaOCl-treated, autoclaved yam and without treatment), and YAM-10 and YAM-12 were identified as major psychrotrophic putrefactive bacteria. Both YAM-10 (Pseudomonas cepacia) and YAM-12 (Pseudomonas rhodesiae) bacteria grew well at 4$\sim$12$^{\circ}C$ and showed strong activity of polymer degrading enzymes, especially amylase, carboxy methyl cellulase and xylanase, at 20$^{\circ}C$. But they failed to grow at acidic pH (<5) or alkaline pH (>10). Our results suggested that the control of psychrotrophic Pseudomonas sp. by pH change and inhibition of polymer degrading enzymes, such as amy-lase, are necessary to long-term storage of yam.

본 연구는 부패 생마로부터 저온성 부패균을 분리, 동정하고 분리균의 생육특성과 다양한 효소의 부패관련성을 조사하여, 생마 저온 장기저장 및 생마 가공식품 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제시할 목적으로 수행되었다. 저온 장기저장중의 부패생마로부터 서로 다른 13종의 저온세균을 분리, 동정하였으며, 다양한 온도에서 생마 절편을 이용한 부패력 측정 결과 분리균주 중 YAM-10및 YAM-12균주가 저온부패에 직접적으로 관련됨을 확인하였으며, 이들은 각각 Pseudomonas cepacia 및 Pseudomonas rhodesiae 동정되었다. 이들 균주는 20$^{\circ}C$에서도 우수한 amylase, CMCase, xylanase 활성을 나타내었으며 , 특히 amylase 활성은 생마 부패에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 판단되었다. YAM-10 및 YAM-12균주는 양파절편을 부패시키지는 못하였으며, 4$\sim$12$^{\circ}C$의 온도에서도 생육가능하며, pH 5 이하 및 pH 10 이상에서는 생육이 급격히 억제되었다. 현재 생마의 저온 장기저장 및 부패억제를 위한 저온성 Pseudomonas sp.의 제어와 생마부패에 관련되는 효소들의 특성과 저해에 대한 연구 및 저장성, 관능성이 강화된 산장, 염장 등을 통한 생마 가공식품 개발이 진행 중이다.
