After a mixed carbohydrate diet, inhibition of ${\alpha}$-amylase and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase involved in the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates can significantly decrease the postprandial increase of blood glucose level. In the course of screening these useful enzyme inhibitors, we selected five kinds of bean, using an in-vitro enzyme inhibition assay method. To evaluate the effect of germination process on the functionality of the bean, we investigated the inhibitory activities of the water extracts of non-germinated bean and germinated bean against ${\alpha}$-amylase and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, relevant to postprandial hyperglycemia. We also investigated the oxygen radical absorbance capacity(ORAC), total phenolics content, and postprandial blood glucose lowering effect in rats(Sprague-Dawley rat model). Most germinated beans showed significantly higher ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity, compared with non-germinated beans. Among germinated beans, Glycine max had the highest ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity(53.3%). The water extract of germinated Phaseolus vulgaris L. had the highest ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity(95.1%), followed by Glycine max(58.7%), and Glycine max L. Merr(54.1%). Furthermore, the five germinated beans also showed high antioxidant activities in ORAC assay. Results suggested that the germination process may improve and enhance the anti-hyperglycemia potential and antioxidant activity of the bean.

This study was performed to investigate the inhibitory activity of Sargassum thunbergii (ST) against ${\alpha}$-amylase and elucidate the availability of ST extract as a functional food agent. To test the inhibitory activity of ST against ${\alpha}$-amylase, porcine pancreatic ${\alpha}$-amylase and potato starch were used as substrates. It was revealed that ST crude ethanol extracts have high ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity. Subsequently, ST crude ethanol extract was separated into five partition layers by solvent extraction: n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water. Chloroform and n-hexane fractions showed higher inhibitory activities than did acarbose (positive control). To confirm the changes in enzyme inhibitory activity by physical treatments, ST crude ethanol extract was subjected to heat, pH, and ${\gamma}$-irradiation treatments. In all heat treatments with the exception of one ($121^{\circ}C$, 15 min), the inhibitory activity was increased compared with the untreated group. With regard to pH stability, ST extract showed no significant changes at pH 4.6, but somewhat decreased inhibitory activity was revealed at pH 2, 8, and 10. On the other hand, ST ethanol extract was stable under ${\gamma}$-irradiation under all conditions (3.20 kGy). In summary, ST ethanol extract can be used in the food industry as a natural ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitor.

타액의 보호작용은 주로 타액 당단백질의 생물학적, 물리적, 구조적 성질 및 유동학적 성질과 관련이 있다. 그러므로 이상적인 타액 대체제의 개발을 위해서는 인체 타액의 생물학적 성질 뿐만 아니라 유동학적 특성을 이해하여야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 타액 대체제가 인체 타액에 존재하는 효소의 활성에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 다양한 타액 대체제의 점도와 인체 타액의 점도를 비교하기 위해서 시행되었다. Moi-Stir, Stoppers4, MouthKote, Saliva Orthana 및 서울대학교치과병원 타액 대체제(SNU)를 사용하였으며, lysozyme 활성은 turbidimetric 법으로, peroxidase 활성은 NbsSCN 법으로, $\alpha$-amylase 활성은 maltotriose와 결합된 2-chloro-p-nitrophenol를 사용하여 시행하였다. 타액 대체제의 pH를 측정하였으며 cone-and-plate 형태의 점도계를 이용하여 다양한 전단율에서 점도를 측정하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 다양한 타액 대체제는 타액 효소 활성에 각기 다른 영향을 미쳤다. Stoppers4는 hen egg-white lysozyme, bovine lactoperoxidase (bLP) 및 $\alpha$-amylase 활성을 증가시켰고, Saliva Orthana와 SNU는 bLP 활성은 저해하였으며 $\alpha$-amylase 활성은 증가시켰다. MouthKote는 $\alpha$-amylase 활성을 저해하였으며, Moi-Stir는 bLP와 $\alpha$-amylase 활성을 저해하였다. 타액 대체제의 pH는 타액 대체제의 종류에 따라 매우 달랐다. Stoppers4, MouthKote 및 Saliva Orthana는 낮은 전단율에서는 인체 타액보다 낮은 점도를 높은 전단율에서는 인체 타액보다 높은 점도를 나타내었다. Moi-Stir와 SNU는 인체 타액보다 매우 높은 점도를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 본 연구결과는 각각의 타액 대체제는 각기 다른 생물학적 기능과 유동학적 특성을 가지고 있음을 알 수 있다. 타액 대체제의 사용은 사용하는 타액 대체제의 종류에 따라 타액 효소 활성에 각기 다른 영향을 미치고 궁극적으로는 구강건강에 다른 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것이다.

The strain BY-445 which produces new inhihitors of ${\alpha}$-amylase was isolated from a soil sample and identified. The aerial hyphae of this strain develope in the from of open spirals. The spore chain of BY-445 strain appears in spiral shape with spiny surface. Melanoid and soulble pigments were not observed. Gelatin was liquefied, and skin milk and starch was also hydrolyzed. The isolate contained LL-diaminopimelic acid in its cell wall hydrolysate. The content of fatty acid 16:iso, 15:0 anteiso and 16:0 was 25:30, 16.19 and 13.16%, respectively. BY-445 strain was closely related to Streptomyces violaceusinger but it was different from this strain in some cultural and physiological characteristics. This strain was, therefore, designated as Streptomyces sp. BY 445.

To improve the quality of traditional kochujang, strains with high protease and amylase activity were isolated and identified from Sunchang traditional kochujang. Twenty-three strains strongly producing protease and 16 strains strongly producing $\alpha$- and $\beta$-amylase were isolated by using 1% isolated soy protein agar medium and 2% starch agar medium, respectively. Protease activities of the IA7, I5, and IA2 strain were 22.5, 21.2, and 20.6 unit/mL, respectively, and were higher than those of the other strains. Stains with high $\alpha$-amylase activity included K9 (967.8 unit/mL), K14 (828.3 unit/mL), K13 (662.5 unit/mL), K8 (601.5 unit/mL), and K11 (405.9 unit/mL). The $\beta$-amylase activity of the K11 strain was the highest, 34.3 unit/mL, among the isolated strains. Based on morphological, physiological properties, and API 50CHB-kit test for assimilation of 49 carbohydrates, 8 strains selected according to protease, $\alpha$-amylase, and $\beta$-amylase activities were tentatively identified as Bacillus megaterium (IA2), Bacillus subtilis (IA7, 15), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (K8, K9, K11, and K13), and Bacillus stearothermophillus (K14). The IA7, 15, and K11 strains were finally identified as B. subtilis (99% ID) based on 16S rDNA sequencing.

In this study, a 12-week feeding experiment was conducted to characterize the effects of exogenous α-amylase on the growth, feed utilization, digestibility, plasma α-amylase activity, feed degradation rate, and fecal particle size of olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Diet was supplemented with 0 (AA₀; control), 100 (AA₁₀₀), 200 (AA₂₀₀), or 400 (AA₄₀₀) mg/kg of α-amylase, respectively. Fish (273.1 ± 2.3 g) were stocked into 12 tanks (25 fish/1,000-L tank) and 3 tanks were randomly selected for each diet group. As a result, α-amylase was found to have no significant effects (p ≥ 0.05) on the growth, feed utilization parameters, and whole-body proximate compositions. α-Amylase-treated fish exhibited only a significant increase in the apparent digestibility coefficient of carbohydrates compared to the controls. In addition, in vitro analyses revealed that α-amylase dose-dependently increased (p < 0.05) the feed degradation rate, while photographs of the intestinal content after 2, 4, and 8 h of feeding demonstrated an improved degradation rate in the α-amylase-treated groups. Plasma α-amylase content was higher in the AA₂₀₀ and AA₄₀₀ groups, whereas the control group produced significantly larger-sized fecal particles (90% size class) than these two groups. In the intestine, no changes were observed in the expression levels of the immune-related TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2, immunoglobulin-M, HSP-70, lysozyme, and amylase alpha-2A. However, growth-related genes IGF-1, IGF-2, TGF-β3, and growth hormone genes were upregulated in muscle tissues. Collectively, exogenous α-amylase has positive roles in the modulation of the digestibility coefficient, blood α-amylase concentration, growth-related gene expression, and diet degradation for improved digestion in olive flounder.

본 연구에는 메밀을 ${\alpha}$-amylase, ${\beta}$-amylase, glucoamylase 세 종류의 효소로 당화한 결과, 당도와 rutin, quercetin, 총 폴리페놀 함량이 증가하였고, 항산화 활성이 개선됨을 확인하였다. 당화 전 약 $1^{\circ}Brix$를 나타내던 메밀은 ${\alpha}$-amylase, ${\beta}$-amylase, glucoamylase로 당화하였을 때 최고 $10.27^{\circ}Brix$, $5.13^{\circ}Brix$, $11.13^{\circ}Brix$를 각각 나타내었다. Rutin과 quercetin의 함량도 당화 전보다 당화를 거치면서 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, ${\alpha}$-amylase로 당화하였을 때 rutin은 1.76배, quercetin은 2.09배 증가하였으며, ${\beta}$-amylase로 당화하였을 때 rutin은 1.58배 증가하였으며, glucoamylase로 당화하였을 때 rutin은 3.36배, quercetin은 6.58배 증가하였다. 총 폴리페놀과 DPPH radical 소거능을 측정한 결과, 당화를 하기 전과 비교하여 당화 후 총 폴리페놀 함량과 DPPH radical 소거능이 유의하게 증가하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 메밀의 당화는 메밀에 함유되어 있는 기능성 성분을 증가시켜 기능성 식품으로의 개발가능성을 높이는 것으로 판단된다.

핵전이 방법을 이용하여 효모에서 전분분해능이 향상된 새로운 우수 균주를 개발하고자 하였다. Saccharomycopsis fiburigera KCTC 7393과 Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCTC 7049에서 핵을 분리한 후 영양요구 돌연변이주인 S. cerevisiae의 안으로 전달시켜 잡종(MN-16)을 형성하여 전분 분해능이 증가된 잡종을 선별하였다. 세포 배양액으로 조효소 용액을 만든 후 ammonium sulfate 침전, DEE-Sephacel column chromatography, Sephacryl S-200 column chromatography 등의 정제과정을 통해 9.7%의 회수율로 약 10.6배 정제 된 효소를 얻을 수 있었다. 정제된 효소는 SDS-PAGE 전기영동을 통해 단일 band를 보여 주었으며, SDS-PAGE 와 Sephacryl S-200 column chromatography를 통해서 53kDa으로 나타났다. 정제효소의 최적 활성 온도는 40${\circ}C$이고, 안정성은 40~45${\circ}C$로 나타났다. 최적 활성 pH는 5.5이었고, pH 5.0~7.0 정도에서 pH안정성이 80%정도 유지되었다. 가용성 전분에 대한 $K_{m}$ 값은 2.5㎎/㎖이었다. 또한, 정제 효소의 금속 이온의 효과로 $Ca^{2+}, Co^{2+}, EDTA, Mg^{2+}, Mn^{2+}, Zn^{2+}$ 첨가시 활성이 촉진되었고, $Ca^{2+}$의 경우 가장 높은 반면 $Cu^{2+}, Fe^{2+}, Ni^{2+}$의 경우는 오히려 활성이 감소되었다.
