호박씨는 단백질과 지방의 함량이 높고 영양가치가 높아 식품가공 재료로서 널리 이용될 수 있으나 그 동안 과자, 스넥 제품 등의 단순가공 소재로서 이용되어 왔다. 그러므로 호박씨의 소비를 증진시키고 새로운 기능성 식품을 개발하기 위하여 호박씨를 발아 성장시키면서 각 부위의 일반영양성분, 지방산, 아미노산, L-ascorbic acid, $\beta$-carotene의 함량변화를 측정하여 영양학적 가치를 평가하였으며, 발아 성장과정 중 생성되는 고미성분의 구조를 동정하기 위하여 각종 용매 순차 분획, thin layer chromatography, HPLC의 분리과정을 거쳐서 정제한 고미물질을 mass spectrum, $^1$H-NMR spectrum, $^{13}$C-NMR spectrum을 이용하여 동정하였다. 호박씨나물의 중량은 발아 8일에 348.4% 증가하였으며 뿌리와 줄기의 길이는 8일째까지 급격히 증가하였다. 일반영양성분은 머리부분과 줄기부분 모두 단백질과 지질의 함량은 감소하였고 섬유소, 회분, 가용성 무질소물의 함량은 증가하였으며, linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid가 주요지방산으로 나타났고, palmitic acid는 증가하는 반면 linoleic acid는 점점 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 호박씨나물의 머리부분의 구성아미노산 glycine, alanine, arginine, cystein proline의 순으로 많았으며, 유리아미노산은 arginine, threonine, alanine, glutamine의 순으로 많았다. L-ascorbic acid와 $\beta$-carotene은 발아 성장하면서 점점 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 머리부분에 생성되는 고미성분은 cucurbitacin glycoside로 판명되었으며, 호박씨에서는 고미성분이 검출되지 않았으나 발아 8일째 머리부분의 고미성분은 42.2mg/kg이 함유되어 있다.

홍삼추출물(RGE)의 쓴 맛을 개선하기 위해서 ${\alpha}-,\;{\beta}-,\;{\gamma}$-CD을 이용해서 RGE의 포접화합물을 제조하여, 관능평가를 통해서 RGE-${\gamma}$-CD에 의한 쓴 맛 개선효과가 가장 큰 것을 확인하였다. RGE와 ${\gamma}$-CD의 비율에 따라서 쓴 맛은 선형적으로 감소하지만, RGE 고유의 향 조차도 감소하기 때문에, RGE 대비 10%의 ${\gamma}$-CD를 첨가하여 포접화합물을 형성할 때 쓴 맛은 RGE 대비 78% 정도 감소하였고, 홍삼의 향은 62% 정도를 유지함으로써 기호도면에서 우수한 결과를 얻었다. SD계 흰쥐에 RGE, RGE-${\gamma}$-CD10의 제제를 총 사포닌의 투여량이 제제간에 동일하도록 투여한 후, 혈장 중 RGE에 들어있는 주요한 성분으로 알려져 있는 ginsenoside Rg1, Rb1을 지표물질로 설정하여 전 농도를 측정하여 두 제제간의 AUC를 비교한 결과, Rg1의 경우, RGE 제제 투여 후의 평균값이 $13.11{\mu}g{\cdot}hr/mL$, RGE-${\gamma}$-CD10 투여 후의 평균값은 $12.04{\mu}g{\cdot}hr/mL$로 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 한편, Rb1의 경우, RGE 제제로서 투여하였을 때의 AUC 평균값이 $25.84{\mu}g{\cdot}hr/mL$, RGE-${\gamma}$-CD10 투여 후의 평균값은 $81.48{\mu}g{\cdot}hr/mL$로 3배 이상 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에 의해 ${\gamma}$-CD로 RGE를 포접했을 경우 쓴 맛이 감소하고, ginsenoside Rb1의 생체이용율이 증가하여 RGE를 그대로 섭취할 경우보다 포접화합물로 섭취 시에 더 유용함을 확인하였다.

Objects : Recent taste theory has been advanced to the receptor and cell of taste. We tried to apply the taste theory to the Kimi theory (氣味論) of 『ShinNongBonChoKyung (神農本草經)』 for the purpose of resonance between the Kimi theory and the taste theory. Methods : The special issues in Current Opinion in Physiology of the year 2021 gave us much information. Based on it, we have searched for more papers using google scholars with the key words; taste, taste receptor, sweet, umami, bitter, salty, sour. Then, we analyzed and compared the Kimi theory of 『ShinNong BonChoKyung)』 with the research papers of physiological taste. Results : Three classification of the herbs in 『ShinNongBonChoKyung』 is very reasonable based on the Taste theory. There is umami and no spicy in the taste theory, and Sweet includes umami in the Kimi theory. Taste is such a complex and connective sensory reaction of the brain and body of human being. There are much more results to couple the Kimi with the taste theory. Conclusions : The pharmacological property of Kimi theory of 『ShinNongBonCho Kyung』 will help the taste theory much more develop and expand. In addition to qi(氣), the Kimi theory will also find a way to be in harmony with modern pharmacology in the respective of taste(味) with the help of taste theory.

The effect of color, as measured on the spectrometer, on the 4 basic tastes(sweet, salty, sour & bitter) perception of a series of colored and no-flavored solutions was quantified by 16 taste panel using magnitude estimation without modulus. The regression lines for each colored series were found to differ indicating that color had a significant effect on sweetness, sourness and bitterness. A sucrose level of 4.0%, a citric acid level of 0.05%, and a nicotinamide level of 0.08% maximized the effect of color on taste's perception and its acceptability. Although color tended to confuse the perception of saltiness, this effect was not significant except for yellow solutions.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Taste perception is influenced by both nutritional factors and psychological factors. This study was undertaken to measure the 4 basic taste perceptions, nutrient intake, and mental health, and to examine the factors that affect insensitive taste perception in young Japanese women. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Young women in their late teens and twenties were enrolled as subjects. Taste perception was measured by applying the filter-paper disc method over areas of the chorda tympani nerve. Nutritional status was evaluated using brief, self-administered diet history questionnaires. The index of nutritional status was based on the 2015 Japanese dietary reference intakes. Mental health was assessed using the Japanese translation of the Profile of Mood States short version. This study was approved by the ethical committee at Osaka University. RESULTS: The normal taste perception group (four basic tastes [sweet, salty, sour, and bitter] identified as normal taste perception) comprised 55.4% of the subjects, while the abnormal taste perception group (more than 1 abnormal taste perception was perceived, regardless of flavor) comprised 44.6% of the subjects. There were no significant differences in nutrient intake (except manganese) and mental health between the normal and abnormal taste perception groups. Subjects who took 5 mg to less than 7.1 mg zinc per day were at significantly decreased risk of insensitive taste perception compared to subjects who consumed less than 5 mg zinc per day [Regression coefficient 0.831, 95% confidence interval 0.694-0.996]. CONCLUSION: The present results suggest that insensitive taste perception could be associated with zinc deficiency in young women in their late teens and twenties.

Syringa oblata var dilatata (Nakai) Rehder is a oleaceous, deciduous shrub indigenous in the calcareous zones of Korea. The author researched the constituents of the leaves of the plant, especially the bitter principles which may be used as amara. According to the literature a bitter principle Syringin and Mannitol were isolated from the leaves of S. vulgaris L. And later on B. Power indicated that syringin and mannitol were widely distributed in oleaceous plants. The fresh leaves of the plant wer extracted with hot water, the filtered clear liquid was mixed with solution of lead acetate. The lead precipitate was filtered off and the filtered liquid was freed from lead by H$_{4}$S. The filtrate thus obtained was evaporated, and from the residue colorless needles, M. P. 166.deg., were obtained. It was soluble in water, in hot alcohol, and insoluble in ether and had a sweet taste. The results of the elementar analysis, M. P. and other characteristics agreed with that of d-mannitol. Finally it was proved to be identical with d-mannitol through conversion of it into Hexaacetyl mannitol, M. P. 124.deg., Triformal mannitol, M. P. 227.deg., Tribenzal mannitol, M. P. 224.deg., which exhibited no depression, when mixed with authentic specimens. The experiments to isolate bitter principles of the plant are in progress.

Two new bitter-tasting cyclic peptides comprising six amino acids, namely gamakamide C and D, were isolated from cultured oysters Crassostrea gigas. Dimethylaminoazobenzene sulfonyl-amino acid analysis detected Val and Leu in gamakamide C and Ile and Leu in gamakamide D. The molecular formula of gamakamide C was determined as $C_{43}H_{60}N_{7}O_8S$ by high-resolution fast atom bombardment mass spectroscopy (HR FAB-MS) ($[M+H]^+m/z822.4200{\Delta}-2.4mmu$), and that of gamakamide D was determined as $C_{43}H_{62}N_7O_8S$ by HR FAB-MS ($[M+H]^+m/z836.4379{\Delta}-2.0mmu$). Comparison of amino acid analyses and fragment ions by MS/MS among gamakamide C, D, and E (known), the structures of gamakamide C and D were confirmed $as-{\small{L}}-Val-{\small{L}}-Met(SO)-{\small{L}}-NMe-Phe-{\small{L}}-Leu-{\small{D}}-Lys-{\small{L}}-Phe-$ and $-{\small{L}}-Ile-{\small{L}}-Met(SO)-{\small{L}}-NMe-Phe-{\small{L}}-Leu-{\small{D}}-Lys-{\small{L}}-Phe-$, respectively.

Animals generally prefer nutrients and avoid toxic and harmful chemicals. Recent behavioral and physiological studies have identified that sweet-sensing gustatory receptor neurons (GRNs) in Drosophila melanogaster mediate appetitive behaviors toward fatty acids. Sweet-sensing GRN activation requires the function of the ionotropic receptors IR25a, IR56d, and IR76b, as well as the gustatory receptor GR64e. However, we reveal that hexanoic acid (HA) is toxic rather than nutritious to D. melanogaster. HA is one of the major components of the fruit Morinda citrifolia (noni). Thus, we analyzed the gustatory responses to one of major noni fatty acids, HA, via electrophysiology and proboscis extension response (PER) assay. Electrophysiological tests show this is reminiscent of arginine-mediated neuronal responses. Here, we determined that a low concentration of HA induced attraction, which was mediated by sweet-sensing GRNs, and a high concentration of HA induced aversion, which was mediated by bitter-sensing GRNs. We also demonstrated that a low concentration of HA elicits attraction mainly mediated by GR64d and IR56d expressed by sweet-sensing GRNs, but a high concentration of HA activates three gustatory receptors (GR32a, GR33a, and GR66a) expressed by bitter-sensing GRNs. The mechanism of sensing HA is biphasic in a dose dependent manner. Furthermore, HA inhibit sugar-mediated activation like other bitter compounds. Taken together, we discovered a binary HA-sensing mechanism that may be evolutionarily meaningful in the foraging niche of insects.
