감귤류와 감귤류의 과피는 오랜 기간 동양의학의 약재로 사용되어 왔고 최근에는 생과와 주스로 많이 소비되고 있다. 하지만 감귤류 가공 공정 시 많은 과피 부산물이 발생하므로 활용방안이 필요하다. 감귤류의 과피에는 플라바논(flavanone)이 풍부하며 이 플라바논의 형태 중 배당체보다 비배당체의 체내 흡수가 더 효과적이므로 비배당체가 생리적 효과가 더 뛰어나다. Bioconversion(물질전환)은 cytolase에 의해 narirutin과 naringin은 naringenin으로, hesperidin은 hesperetin으로 각각 전환되며, 본 연구는 감귤의 과피에 다량 존재하는 플라바논을 물질전환 한 뒤 면역세포에서 항산화 및 항염증 효과를 확인하였다. 물질전환 후에 감귤 과피 추출물의 전자공여능이 농도 의존적으로 높아지는 것을 확인하였고, 면역세포인 RAW264.7에 200, $500{\mu}g/mL$ 감귤 bioconversion 전(CU) 후(CU-C) 과피 추출물을 4시간 동안 처리한 후 LPS($1{\mu}g/mL$, 8시간)를 처리하였다. 염증 관련 효소인 iNOS와 COX-2의 mRNA와 단백질 발현을 확인한 결과 물질전환과 관계없이 감귤 과피 추출물이 LPS에 의해 유도된 iNOS와 COX-2의 mRNA와 단백질 발현을 농도 의존적으로 감소시켰지만 물질전환 전보다 후 추출물의 억제 효과가 더 높았다. iNOS에 의해 생성되는 NO 역시 감귤 과피 추출물이 LPS에 의해 유도된 NO 생성을 억제시켰다. 본 연구 결과는 감귤 과피 추출물이 항산화와 항염증 생리활성을 보였지만 cytolase를 이용하여 물질전환 한 감귤 과피 추출물이 물질전환 전보다 이러한 생리활성이 강화됨을 보임으로써 향후 감귤류 부산물로 폐기되어온 감귤류 과피가 산화적 스트레스와 염증반응에 기인하는 만성질환을 위한 기능성 소재로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다. 감귤 과피 추출물의 in vitro 상에서 검증된 항염증 효능이 향후에 in vivo 상에서 여러 염증 조직에 미치는 영향에 대한 추가 검증이 필요하다고 사료된다.

We assessed the ability of a Pseudonocardia sp. from soil samples to bioconvert vitamin $D_3$. The optimal culture conditions for the bioconversion of vitamin $D_3$ to active $1{\alpha}$,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ were investigated by varying the carbon and nitrogen sources, the metal salt concentrations, the initial pH, and the temperature. Microbial transformations were carried out with the addition of vitamin $D_3$ dissolved in ethanol. They were sampled by extraction with methanol-dichloromethane and the samples were examined by HPLC. Optimum culture conditions were found to be 0.4% yeast extract, 1% glucose, 3% starch, 1% fish meal, 0.2% NaCl, 0.01% $K_2HPO_4$, 0.2% $CaCO_3$, 0.01% NaF, and pH 7.0 at $28^{\circ}C$. The optimal timing of the addition of vitamin $D_3$ for the production of calcitriol by Pseudonocardia autotrophica ID9302 was concurrent with the inoculation of seed culture broth. Maximum calcitriol productivity and the yield of bioconversion reached a value of 10.4mg/L and 10.4% respectively on the 7th day in a 75L fementer jar under the above conditions.

Background: Panax ginseng is a physiologically active plant widely used in traditional medicine that is characterized by the presence of ginsenosides. Rb1, a major ginsenoside, is used as the starting material for producing ginsenoside derivatives with enhanced pharmaceutical potentials through chemical, enzymatic, or microbial transformation. Methods: To investigate the bioconversion of ginsenoside Rb1, we prepared kimchi originated bacterial strains Leuconostoc mensenteroides WiKim19, Pediococcus pentosaceus WiKim20, Lactobacillus brevis WiKim47, Leuconostoc lactis WiKim48, and Lactobacillus sakei WiKim49 and analyzed bioconversion products using LC-MS/MS mass spectrometer. Results: L. mesenteroides WiKim19 and Pediococcus pentosaceus WiKim20 converted ginsenoside Rb1 into the ginsenoside Rg3 approximately five times more than Lactobacillus brevis WiKim47, Leuconostoc lactis WiKim48, and Lactobacillus sakei WiKim49. L mesenteroides WIKim19 showed positive correlation with b-glucosidase activity and higher transformation ability of ginsenoside Rb1 into Rg3 than the other strains whereas, P. pentosaceus WiKim20 showed an elevated production of Rb3 even with lack of b-glucosidase activity but have the highest acidity among the five lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Conclusion: Ginsenoside Rg5 concentration of five LABs have ranged from ${\sim}2.6{\mu}g/mL$ to $6.5{\mu}g/mL$ and increased in accordance with the incubation periods. Our results indicate that the enzymatic activity along with acidic condition contribute to the production of minor ginsenoside from lactic acid bacteria.

This study was aimed at an evaluation of the potential inheritance of electroporation effects on Lactobacillus fermentum BT 8219 through to three subsequent subcultures, based on their growth, isoflavone bioconversion activities, and probiotic properties, in biotin-supplemented soymilk. Electroporation was seen to cause cell death immediately after treatment, followed by higher growth than the control during fermentation in biotin-soymilk (P<0.05). This was associated with enhanced intracellular and extracellular ${\beta}$-glucosidase specific activity, leading to increased bioconversion of isoflavone glucosides to aglycones (P<0.05). The growing characteristics, enzyme, and isoflavone bioconversion activities of the first, second, and third subcultures of treated cells in biotin-soymilk were similar to the control (P>0.05). Electroporation affected the probiotic properties of parent L. fermentum BT 8219, by reducing its tolerance towards acid (pH 2) and bile, lowering its inhibitory activities against selected pathogens, and reducing its ability for adhesion, when compared with the control (P<0.05). The first, second, and third subcultures of the treated cells showed comparable traits with that of the control (P>0.05), with the exception of their bile tolerance ability, which was inherited to the treated cells of the first and second subcultures (P<0.05). Our results suggest that electroporation could be used to increase the bioactivity of biotin-soymilk via fermentation with probiotic L. fermentum BT 8219, with a view towards the development of functional foods.

As agricultural production increases due to population growth, agricultural by-products that are generated at all production stages increase commensurately. Black soldier fly (BSF) (Hermetia illucens) treatment has potential as an environmentally friendly process to combat the environmental pollution caused by agricultural by-products. This study examined the utilization of BSF larvae in the decomposition of the by-products of apples and mandarins, fruits commonly produced in South Korea. The BSF test larvae were fed apple pomace or mandarin waste, and the control larvae were fed calf feed. Larval weight and size were measured at 4-day intervals until larvae reached the pre-pupal stage. Larval development time, survival rate, and BSF fecundity rate were calculated for all three substrates. Waste reduction and bioconversion ratios were also calculated. The developmental time of larvae fed with apple pomace and mandarin waste was greater than that of the control larvae. The average weight of larvae fed with the fruit by-products was less than that of the control. There was no significant difference in the survival rate of BSF larvae or the fecundity rate of BSF between the substrates used in this study. BSF larvae decomposed 48.0% and 61.5% of apple pomace and mandarin waste, respectively. The bioconversion efficiency rates of BSF larvae fed with apple pomace and mandarin waste were 9.1% and 12.1%, respectively. These results indicated that decomposition of single fruit by-products by BSF larvae is an environmentally friendly and effective bioconversion process.

Although arabinose isomerase (E.C. 5.3.1.4), a commercial enzyme for edible tagatose bioconversion, can be expressed in an Escherichia coli system, this expression system might leave noxious by-products in food. To develop an eligible tagatose bioconversion with food-safe system, we compared the tagatose production activity of immobilized arabinose isomerase expressed in Bacillus subtilis (a host generally recognized as safe) with that of the enzyme expressed in E. coli. A 48% increase in tagatose production (4.3 g tagatose/L at $69.4\;mg/L{\cdot}hr$) was found using the B. subtilis-expressed immobilized enzyme system, compared to the E. coli-expressed enzyme system (2.9 g tagatose/L). The increased productivity with safety of the B. subtilis-expressed arabinose isomerase suggests that it is a more eligible candidate for commercial tagatose production.

More than 145 million tons of liquid whey is produced world-wide as dairy processing waste per year, and half of it is discarded without proper treatment. Due to its high nutrient value, the environmental impact can be significant. Bioconversion of cheese whey can provide an effective way to reduce the waste and, at the same time, generate economically attractive value-added chemicals. In this study, cheese whey was fermented with P. acidipropionici to produce propionic acid which has a high market value for chemical and pharmaceutical industries. In order to specifically enhance propionic acid production, acetic acid production was suppressed using o-iodosobenzoic acid as an enzyme inhibitor. When grown in the presence of the inhibitor, propionic acid production rate increased by a factor of 2 while acetic acid production rate decreased by a factor of 3. Furthermore, when 0.3 mM of o-iodosobenzoic acid was used, the incipient stage(creeping growth period) was considerably reduced. Therefore, the inhibitor helps the cells begin to grow earlier and speed up the production of propionic acid. Although the production rate of propionic acid effectively increased, the final concentration(or production yield) remained unchanged due to product inhibition. Methods that can reduce product inhibition are being tested combined with o-iodosobenzoic acid to optimize both the production rate and yield. The results are expected to be informative for controlling the other byproducts for other applications.
