Uncooked starch can be effectively saccharified in an enzyme reaction system containing attrition-milling media. To develope the high efficiency bioattritor, an agitated bead type bioreactor was constructed, and its effectiveness was evaluated. The optimal operation condition of bioattritor was found to be 300 g glass bead/L, 200 rpm, standard type impeller for 220 g/L of uncooked corn starch. The torque under the various operational conditions were also measured. The interrelation-ship between energy consumption for agitation of attrition-milling media and enhanced extent of saccharification of uncooked starch was evaluated, Power consumption was measured to be around 1.53 watt/L under the optimal operation condition. The attrition coupled enzyme reaction system is identified to tie a very excellent energy saying process for saccharification of uncooked starch, and seems to have a bright prospect of industrial application.

The effect of proteolytic enzyme on the unhairing process has been studied. this enzyme significantly changed the physical properties of pelt for leather shoes. A SEM was used to examine physical properties of the pelt. Even though bio-tech treatment using proteolytic enzyme slightly reduced the degree of unhairing compared to chemical treatment. Physical property of the pelt is better and this method is environmentally favorable. $H_{2}S$ gas produced in the chemical treatment was not detected and the value of COD and BOD for waste water after the unhairing process were reduced to 939 mg/L and 5268 mg/L, respectively. We found that a process with 0.4~0.5% proteolytic enzyme for 20 h at $29{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ is most suitable for the unhairing process.

APM의 화학적, 효소적 합성방법의 선택은 각기의 장단점을 비교 검토한 후 결정해야 할 문제로서, 수율, 공정의 효율성, 작업환경, 경제성 등의 여러 요인이 영향을 줄 수 있으나, 최근의 연구동향 및 산업적 생산의 추이는 효소를 이용한 bioconversion process에 의한 방식으로 나아가는 듯 하다. 결론적으로 bioconversion process에 의한 APM의 생산은 반응매질로써 유기용매의 사용이 불가피하므로 효소의 안정성을 증가시켜 장기간 사용할 수 있는 신기술의 개발이 필요하며 기존의 고정화 기술은 그 좋은 예가 될 수 있다. 또한 보호기의 도입과 제거과정이 보다 용이해야하며 더 나아가서 보호기의 부착없이도 반응을 가능케하는, 기질에 대한 특이성이 높은 새로운 효소(예를 들어 exopeptidase를 사용하면 기질에 보호기를 붙일 필요가 없으므로 화학적 방법에 비해 훨씬 유리하다)의 screening이 절실하다. 아울러 유기용매로 인한 효소의 deactivation mechanism의 규명과 반응기 운전 system의 개발이 요구된다 하겠다.

Protein hydrolysate that shows physiological function such as antioxidant, suppression of hypertension, immunodulatory, alleviation of pain, and antimicrobial activity has been known as playing important role like hormone. This study was performed to optimize the hydrolysis of the wing's meat of Yosan-Ogae by a commercial protease. The ranges of processes were the reaction temperature of 40 to $60^{\circ}C$, pH 6 to 8, and enzyme concentration 1 to 3%(w/v). As a result, the optimization of process was determined at temperature of $48-50^{\circ}C$, pH of 7.0-7.2, and enzyme concentration of 3%(w/v), and degree of hydrolysis was 68 to 69% at above conditions. The molecular weight of hydrolysate was distributed to 500-1,200 Da and showed typical peptides. The amino acids of peptides showing presumably antioxidant activity such as histidine, proline, methionine, cystein, tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine comprised about 43.07%. The glutamic acid was 13.6%. Therefore, we expect that those products are useful as functional food ingredients.

The purpose of this study is to develop a continuous process for sorbitol production using dried Zymomonas mobilis immobilized in K-carrageenan. The methods of glularaldehyde cross-linking of enzymes in CTAB (celyltrimetylammoniumbromide) treated cells immobilized in K-carrageenan showed stability for the production of sorbitol for 30 days of operation. K-carrageenan beads entrapping permeabilized cells were dried to Improve bead rigidity and storage stability. A semi-batch process with dry beads was carried out and only a small loss of enzyme activity (less than 8%) was observed during 72h. The value of Vmax for the dry K-carrageenan beads was found to be one half or that for free cells. It was shown that the productivities of the continuous process with wet K-carrageenan beads and dry beads at a dilution rate 0.1h-1 were 3.4g/L-h and 2.88h/L-h, respectively.

Due to the low biodegradability of dyes, conventional biological wastewater treatment systems are inefficient in treating textile wastewater. In this study, white rot fungus, Trametes versicolor KCTC 16781, were investigated for the decolorization of Reactive black 5 solutions. This fungus was able to degrade the dye solutions by the ligninolytic enzymes (laccase and MnP) produced. The enzyme activity remained constant until the end of reaction. The combined process of biological treatment and ceramic membrane showed better efficiency for decolorization and TOC removal than each single process.

최근 콜레스테롤 센서는 전극 상에 효소를 고정화 하는 방식을 이용하여 센서의 집적도를 높이는 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 전극 상의 효소고정화 방식으로 entrapment, cross liking, covalently binding 등이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 효소 고정화 방식-전도성 고분자인 P3MT를 사용하여 entrap시키는 방법과 silanization을 이용한 covalent bonding 시키는 방법-에 따른 전기화학 센서의 감도 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 전도성 고분자를 사용한 고정화 방법은 cyclic voltammograms으로 scan rate 10 mA/s, potential 0.5-1.3V의 조건하에서 P3MT를 Polymerization하고, 효소 고정화를 위해 chromoampermeter로 potential 0.6V에서 900초 동안 수행하였다. silanization을 이용한 covalent bonding 시키는 방법은 nitric acid로 Pt 전극표면을 산화시키고, APTER로 silanization 공정을 시행하였다. 효소 고정화를 위해 전해질로는 0.1M Phosphate buffer solution을 사용하여 cyclic voltammograms으로 scan rate 50 mA/s 전위 0.0-0.7V의 조건 하에서 수행하였다. 이 결과 전도성 고분자를 이용한 고정화 방법에서의 senstivity가 0.89 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$이고, silanization을 이용한 효소 고정화 방법에서는 1.51 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$였다. 이처럼 후자의 방법에서 더 좋은 감도 특성이 나타났다. 따라서, silanization을 이용한 고정화 방법이 센서 제작 방식으로 더 적합하다고 사료된다.

The effectiveness and safety of Enzyme Food, a group of dietary supplements designated by Korean Food Law, were evaluated and the possibility of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) application was investigated. Chemical composition, enzyme activities and the degree of bacterial contamination in 12 samples of different brands sold in Korean market were measured. The chemical composition of the selected products varied and inconsistent to those claimed in the label description. It is known that effectiveness of Enzyme Food depends on enzyme activity, but enzyme activities of ${\alpha}-amylase$ varied from $1,793\;{\mu}g/min$ g to $159\;{\mu}g/min$ g and those of ${\beta}-amylase$ ranged from $171\;{\mu}g/min$ g to $11\;{\mu}g/min$ g. The protease activities varied from $27.57\;{\mu}g/min$ g to $0.18\;{\mu}g/min$ g. In coli-form bacterial test, positive reactions were appeared in the 50 % of the samples. Numbers of bacteria ranged from $1.3\;{\times}\;10^5\;to\;1.2\;{\times}\;10^9$. Five CCPs were identified; heating, inoculation, cultivation, drying and granulation. Consideration of HACCP system indicated that the pretreatment of raw material, checking of bacterial contamination and stability of enzyme activity during fermentation process were important factors for the quality of Enzyme Foods.
