버섯의 섭취는 버섯의 유용 성분에 의해 면역체계 및 장내미생물균총의 변화를 유발한다. 그중 많이 알려진 β-glucan 구조 기반 물질들은 염증매개물질의 분비는 억제하고 대식세포의 활성은 유발하여 면역력의 증진을 도와인체의 면역기능을 증진시킨다. 직접적인 유용 성분 이외의 다른 물질은 장내 미생물균총에 의해 단쇄지방산으로 변화되며, 변화된 단쇄지방산은 면역 및 다양한 질병의 완화를 유발하게 된다. 버섯이 포함하고 있는 성분은 β-glucan 외에도 장내미생물균총을 변화하게 유도하는 prebiotic로써의 역할을 수행하게 된다. 변화된 장내미생물균총은 외부로부터 들어오는 다양한 감염성 균의 감염을 막으며, 면역체계의 균형 유지를 도우며, 질병을 예방하게 된다. 국내 섭취 빈도가 높은 새송이, 표고, 느타리, 팽이, 목이, 양송이 버섯의 유용 성분의 탐색, 장내미생물균총의 변화 및 섭취 시 인체의 단쇄지방산 변화 연구는 추후 버섯의 유용 성분, 장내미생물 및 질병과의 인과관계를 풀어내는데 기여할 것으로 여겨진다.

In this study, the effects of the immune stimulator Euglena gracilis (Euglena) in cyclophosphamide (CCP)-induced immunocompromised mice were assessed. The key component β-1,3-glucan (paramylon) constitutes 50% of E. gracilis. Mice were orally administered Euglena powder (250 and 500 mg/kg body weight (B.W.)) or β-glucan powder (250 mg/kg B.W.) for 19 days. In a preliminary immunology experiment, ICR mice were intraperitoneally injected with 80 mg of CCP/kg B.W. during the final 3 consecutive days. In the main experiment, BALB/c mice were treated with CCP for the final 5 days. To evaluate the enhancing effects of Euglena on the immune system, mouse B.W., the spleen index, natural killer (NK) cell activity and mRNA expression in splenocytes lungs and livers were determined. To detect cytokine and receptor expression, splenocytes were treated with 5 ㎍/ml concanavalin A or 1 ㎍/ml lipopolysaccharide. The B.W. and spleen index were significantly increased and NK cell activity was slightly enhanced in all the experimental groups compared to the CCP-only group. In splenocytes, the gene expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ, interleukin (IL)-10, IL-6, and IL-12 receptor were increased in the E. gracilis and β-glucan groups compared to the CCP-only group, but there was no significant difference. Treatment with 500 mg of Euglena/kg B.W. significantly upregulated dectin-1 mRNA expression in the lung and liver compared to the CCP-only group. These results suggest that Euglena may enhance the immune system by strengthening innate immunity through immunosuppression.

The effect of different temperatures (45, 55, 65, and $75^{\circ}C$) on the extraction of ${\beta}$-glucan and the properties of extracted ${\beta}$-glucan were investigated with four different varieties of barley. Jeju naked barley, blue barley, beer barley, and black barley contained 6.85, 5.13, 3.58, and 4.16% of ${\beta}$-glucan, respectively. ${\beta}$-glucan in barley was extracted in the range of 64.88 to 93.84% depending on the extraction temperature and barley variety. The ${\beta}$-glucans in Jeju naked barley, Jeju blue barley, and black barley were optimally extracted at $65^{\circ}C$ for 3 h and Jeju beer barley at $75^{\circ}C$. The extracted ${\beta}$-glucan resolubilized to 43.48-81.73% and the ratio of ${\beta}(1{\rightarrow}3)$ to ${\beta}(1{\rightarrow}4)$ linkage was in the range of 1:3.8-5.8. These results suggest that purification and properties of ${\beta}$-glucan depend not only on the water extraction temperature, but also on the barley variety.

Varietal and annual variations in the contents of ${\beta}$-glucan fractions per weight grain samples were examined in sixteen covered and eighteen naked barley and five oat cultivars developed in Korea. Also, the effect of pearling on ${\beta}$-glucan content was investigated. Average contents of total, soluble and insoluble ${\beta}$-glucan fractions were 5.25, 3.72, and 1.53%, respectively, in covered barley, and 5.86, 3.51, and 2.35%, respectively, in naked barley. Soluble ${\beta}$-glucan content was higher in covered barley, though total ${\beta}$-glucan content higher in naked barley. The total and insoluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents were higher in pearled grains. Total ${\beta}$-glucan content was higher in waxy barley than in non-waxy barley. Duwonchapssalbori, a two-rowed and waxy naked barley cultivar, was highest in total, soluble and insoluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents. Highly significant positive correlations were observed between total ${\beta}$-glucan and soluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents both in covered and naked barley. There were significant annual variations in total ${\beta}$-glucan content in barley. Average contents of total, soluble and insoluble ${\beta}$-glucans of oat cultivars were 4.33, 3.44, and 0.89%, respectively. Contents of all fractions of ${\beta}$-glucans were higher in barley than in oat. These results would be useful for the breeding of high ${\beta}$-glucan variety and also for the use barley and oat as valueadded food ingredients.

오가피의 주요 성분으로 알려져 있는 eleutheroside B와 E 그리고 식물의 세포벽을 구성하는 ${\beta}$-glucan 함량을 강원도(A. senticosus), 충남(A. senticosus), 제주도(A. koreanum) 산지별 오가피의 뿌리, 줄기, 잎, 열매 부위별로 각각 분석한 결과, 충남 오가피는 eleutheroside B가 검출되지 않는 것에 반해 특이적으로 높은 eleutheroside E를 함유하고 있었으며, 제주도 산지 오가피는 뿌리, 줄기, 잎, 열매모든 부위에서 eleutheroside B와 E가 함께 검출되는 것으로 확인되었다. 서로 다른 산지에서 재배되었지만 지역과 품종에 상관없이 줄기 부위에 가장 많은 eleutheroside B와 E가 함유되어 있었으며, ${\beta}$-glucan 또한 강원도(7.46%), 충남(3.41%), 제주도(5.05%) 산지 오가피 모두 줄기 부위에 가장 많았다. 오가피는 같은 품종이더라도 재배지역에 따라 eleutheroside B와 E 그리고 ${\beta}$-glucan 함량에 차이를 보여주었고 산지와 품종에 상관없이 줄기 부위에 가장 많이 함유되어 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 기초로 오가피 소재 제품을 만들기 위해서는 제품의 목적에 따라 산지 및 부위의 선택이 필요할 것으로 사료되며, 산지에 따른 유효성분 차이에 있어서 탐라오가피는 제주도 특산식물로 오가피를 이용한 제품개발 시 지표성분을 표준화하는데 있어서 용이할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 꽃송이버섯 건물과 powder를 각각 Yeast Extract broth와 MRS broth에서 Lactoballius 4종(L. plantarum, L. acidophilus, L. helveticus, and L. delbrueckii)과 함께 발효시켰다. 발효액의 final pH는 pH $3.9{\pm}0.02$로 유산균의 일반적인 final pH 값과 일치함을 통해 유산균의 발효를 확인하였고, 유산균에 의한 꽃송이버섯 발효의 효과를 ${\beta}$-glucan 함량을 통하여 확인하였다. Yeast Extract broth 발효액은 YSB-2LP 1.65 g/100 g으로 ${\beta}$-glucan을 거의 함유하고 있지 않았지만 MRS broth 발효액은 Yeast Extract broth 발효액의 10배에 달하는 MPB-1LP 10.84 g/100 g을 함유하고 있었다. MPB-1LP는 꽃송이버섯 powder와 L.actobacillus plantarum으로 발효한 발효액으로 pH stress로 인해 만들어진 L. plantarum의 ${\beta}$-D-glucosidase에 의해 분해된 고분자량의 수용성 ${\beta}$-glucan이라 사료된다. 꽃송이버섯을 powder 상태로 L. plantarum과 함께 발효시켰을 때 꽃송이버섯의 수용성 ${\beta}$-glucan 추출 효율을 높일 수 있으며, 본 연구의 결과는 꽃송이버섯 유산균 발효물의 면역촉진 작용 연구를 위한 기초연구자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Ganoderma lucidum BCCM 31549 has a long established role for its therapeutic activities. In this context, much interest has focused on the possible functions of the (1,3)-β-D-glucan (G) produced by these cultures in a stirred-tank bioreactor and extracted from their underutilized mycelium. In the existing study, we report on the systematic production of G, and its sulfated derivative (GS). The aim of this study was to investigate G and its GS from G. lucidum in terms of their antibacterial properties and cytotoxicity spectrum against human prostate cells (PN2TA) and human caucasian histiocytic lymphoma cells (U937). ¹H NMR for both G and GS compounds showed β-glycosidic linkages and structural similarities when compared with two standards (laminarin and fucoidan). The existence of characteristic absorptions at 1,170 and 867 cm^-1 in the FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) for GS demonstrated the successful sulfation of G. Only GS exhibited antimicrobial activity against a varied range of test bacteria of relevance to foodstuffs and human health. Moreover, both G and GS did not show any cytotoxic effects on PN2TA cells, thus helping demonstrate the safety of these polymers. Moreover, GS showed 40% antiproliferation against cancerous U937 cells at the low concentration (60 μg/ ml) applied in this study compared with G (10%). Together, this demonstrates that sulfation clearly improved the solubility and therapeutic activities of G. The water-soluble GS demonstrates the potential multifunctional effects of these materials in foodstuffs.

This study was conducted to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of pound cake made of substituted flour with different amount of $\beta-glucan$ i.e. 3, 6 and $9\%$ respectively. $\beta-glucan$ is a functional food material produced from Agrobacterium sup. R259 KCTC 10197BP. The specific gravity and pH of dough were found to be increased according to $\beta-glucan$ content Rheological property such as adhesiveness of dough has no difference between control and $\beta-glucan$ added groups. The pH of baked pound cake was not significantly different between control and $\beta-glucan$ groups. The volume of baked pound cake wag not significantly different between control and the ones with up to $6\%$ $\beta-glucan$, Lightness (L), redness (a) and yellowness (b) value of Hunter color system of cake crumb were not significantly different among teated groups, except a value of crust in $9\%$ $\beta-glucan$ group. the moisture content of cake increased according to $\beta-glucan$ content. Hardness by texture analyser was decreased with increasing $\beta-glucan$ content although cohesiveness wag not changed in β$\beta-glucan$ groups, compared with the control. Sensory evaluation results showed that the mean scores of over·all acceptability in 3 and $6\%$ $\beta-glucan$ were higher than that of control. Based on these results, the addition of $\beta-glucan$ to pound cake up to $6\%$ was considered to be desirable especially in terms of texture.

Immunomodulatory feed additives might offer alternatives to antimicrobial growth promoters in poultry production. This experiment was carried out to test the effect of $\beta$-glucan supplementation on the growth performance and immune response in broilers. Total of 160 day-old broilers were randomly assigned to 4 treatment groups fed corn-soybean diets containing 0, 0.012, 0.025 or 0.05% of $\beta$-glucan supplement in a 6 week feeding experiment. Growth performance, antibody titer against New Castle vaccine, lymphocyte blastogensis, and peritoneal macrophage chemotaxis activity of broilers were evaluated. Results showed that there were no significant differences in weight gain and feed efficiency among the treatments, and no differences in antibody titer was observed. Supplementation of $\beta$-glucan did not elevate the lymphocyte blastogensis among treatments, following stimulation with different mitogens. However, supplementation with 0.025 and 0.05% $\beta$-glucan enhanced the macrophage chemotaxis activity of broilers. These results suggest that $\beta$-glucan may enhance some cell-mediated immune responses of chickens by modulate macrophages ability.
