Abstract

Wheat is the most widely cultivated cereal and an important source of dietary protein worldwide. Wheat allergy, defined as an adverse immunologic reaction to wheat, encompasses a broad spectrum of disorders with different pathomechanisms and clinical manifestation. The Nuruk, a traditional Korean Koji for brewing, was made with wheat flour and fermenting microbes such as bacteria, yeast and mold. The strains grown on Nuruk secrete various enzymes as amylase and protease. By the activation of such enzymes, starch and proteins in Nuruk are hydrolyzed to sugar and amino acid. Therefore, it is supposed to reduce allergic proteins in wheat. To study quality properties and degradation degree of allergenicity in Nuruk by fermentation, we investigated the changes of general ingredients and allergenicity in Nuruk during fermentation. Moisture contents was decreased from 24.2% to 13.6% during fermentation. Crude lipid and protein contents were gradually increased during fermentation. After 15 days of fermentation, reducing sugar and total sugar contents were reached its maximum level, and they were 27.45% and 39.00%, respectively. Acid and neutral protease activity were significantly increased during fermentation, but alkaline protease activity was not detected. ${\alpha}$-amylase activity was gradually increased and showed maximum level about 2,833.00 U/g after 15 days of fermentation. Glucoamylase activity was the highest level about 497.9 U/g after 10 days of fermentation. The increase of these proteolytic and saccharogenic enzyme activities will provide efficient condition for production of rice wine. Also, protein fractions were isolated from Nuruk, and degradation of these proteins during fermentation were confirmed by SDS-PAGE. IgE immunoblotting using patient's sera with wheat allergy was performed to confirm allergenic protein in Nuruk. These results as fermentation of Nuruk will provide a useful tool for developing safer wheat products to prevent wheat allergy.

본 연구에서는 발효과정 중 누룩의 일반성분 및 효소 활성변화를 측정하고, 단백질의 분해정도와 밀 단백질에 민감한 환자의 혈청과 반응성을 관찰하였다. 누룩의 수분함량은 발효 1일 24.20%였으며 발효가 진행됨에 따라 미생물의 이용과 증발로 인해 감소되어 발효 15일에는 13.60%를 나타내었다. 누룩 발효 중 총당과 환원당의 함량은 발효시간이 경과함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 누룩의 발효 초기 조단백질 함량은 1.58%였으나 발효가 진행됨에 따라 다소증가하여 발효 15일에는 2.05%로 나타났다. 또한 누룩의 조지방 함량은 발효 초기 1.32%였으며 발효 15일에는 2.24%로 다소 증가함을 나타내었다. ${\alpha}$-Amylase 활성은 발효 초기 1,416.67 U/g에서 발효 15일에는 2,833.00 U/g으로 급격히 증가하였으며, glucoamylase 활성은 발효 초기 497.90 U/g에서 발효 10일 경과 후 705.40 U/g으로 최대 활성을 보였으나 그 후 완만한 감소를 나타내었다. 누룩의 산성 protease 활성은 발효 초기에는 검출되지 않았으나 발효 10일에 75.00 U/g으로 급격히 증가하기 시작하여 발효 15일에는 327.00 U/g에 도달하였으며 중성 protease 활성도 발효 10일에 90.00 U/g으로 급격히 증가하기 시작하여 15일에는 354.00 U/g로 검출되었으며 이후에도 계속 증가하였다. 반면에 알칼리성 protease 활성은 검출되지 않았다. 발효가 진행됨에 따라 누룩 중 고분자 단백질이 각종 미생물에 의해 분해되어 저분자의 펩타이드 밴드가 생성되었으며 밀 민감성 환자의 혈청과 반응하는 밴드도 점차 감소하여 발효 15일에는 거의 검출되지 않았으므로 누룩 중 밀 단백질의 항원성이 감소하였음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 누룩은 영양학적 측면뿐만 아니라 효소학적 측면의 장점까지 겸비한 효율적인 한국 고유의 발효 식품용 스타터(starter)로써 전통주 제조에 필수적이며, 누룩의 고분자 단백질이 발효에 의해 저분자 펩타이드로 분해됨을 확인함으로써 밀 민감성 환자들을 위한 다양한 가공식품용 소재로 활용이 기대된다.
