본 연구에서는 효소의 활성을 증진시킬 수 있는 새로운 방법의 개발을 위하여 미생물로부터 분리, 정제된 polygalacturonase(PGase)에 xanthan gum, guar gum, locust bean gum 등과 같은 교질물질을 첨가함으로써 효소의 안정성 외에 활성을 특이적으로 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 방법 조사하였다. 정제된 PGase를 0.2%의 상술한 교질물질을 함유하는 동일한 완충용액에 잘 혼합시켜 $30^{\circ}C$에서 배양하여 효소의 불활성화에 대한 일차반응 속도상수 k값을 구한 결과, 대조군의 k값이 $0.0082min^{-1}$인데 반해 xanthan gum 첨가 시는 $0.0003min^{-1}$, guar gum 첨가 시는 $0.0001min^{-1}$이하, locust bean gum 첨가 시는 $0.0001min^{-1}$로서 교질물질 첨가에 의해 효소의 안정성이 현저히 증가하였다. 또한 대조군에 비해 xanthan gum 첨가 시는 PGase의 상대활성이 89%가 증가되었으며, guar gum 첨가 시는 97%, locust bean gum 첨가 시는 90%가 증가되어 상술한 교질물질들이 효소의 활성 촉진제로서의 기능이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. Guar gum 처리에 의해 약 2배의 활성이 증진된 상태로 당근 단세포 생성 반응을 수행한 결과 모든 반응시간에서 guar gum을 가했을 때가 PGase만을 가하여 단세포화 반응을 수행한 경우보다 높은 수율을 보였으며, 단세포화 반응 2시간 경과 후에 대조군 대비 13%의 가장 높은 수율 향상을 보였다.

Guar gum is added to the pulp suspension at the suction side of the fan pump just before the sheet is formed on either a fourdrinier or cylinder machine. Guar gum replaced and supplements these hemicelluloses in paper bonding with many advantages, which include improved sheet formation with a more random distribution of pulp fibers. But, guar gum has serious storage problem. This material has easily decayed after High-temperature conditions such as summer. In this study, various properties of cotton handsheet were measured to solve the problem of deformation while storing guar gum and to improve the durability. After aging, which is one of the durability tests, cotton handsheet with 0.2% and 0.3% of A-PAM showed improved mechanical properties and bursting index and folding endurance of cotton handsheet with 0.3% of A-PAM were similar to those with guar gum. The yellowness loss of cotton handsheet with synthetic polymers was lower than those with guar gum.

Both hydrolysed guar gum and polydextrose have been used as a major fiber source in preparations of unctional drink products and other food products. In this study we determined the effects of these fibers on lipid metabolism of normal rats with two different dietary fat levels by using cellulose as the control. Serum total lipid triglyceride total cholesterol and HDL-colesterol were determined with proper enzymatic methods. Feed intake weight gain and feed efficiency ratio were also calcula-ted. Polydextrose-fed group showed lower serum triglyceride level than hydrolysed guar gum-fed group regardless of fat level used in this study without changing total lipid level in the serum. We also observed that polydextrose-fed group showed low serum cholesterol level nummerically high serum HDL-cholestrol level and more excretion of fecal neutral sterols when compare with those values of hydrolysed guar gum-fed group. The results indicate that polydextrose might have more beneficial roles in lipid metabolism when compare with hydrolysed guar gum.

This study was performed to examine the quality characteristics of red ginseng wet noodles prepared with additions of carrageenan, xanthan gum, or guar gum. The quality characteristics of the samples were estimated in terms of their general composition, color differences, cooking characteristics, textural attributes, sensory qualities, and microbial growth during storage. The results were as follows. Protein content was significantly decreased in the guar gum added group and ash content was significantly increased in the carrageenan added group (p<0.05). Lipid, water, and Na contents were not significant different among the groups. However, water binding capacity was significantly increased in the group with added xanthan gum. Over 10 weeks of storage, water contents did not differ significantly between the xanthan gum and guar gum added groups. In all the added gum groups, L- and a- values were significantly increased whereas b- values decreased (p<0.05). In texture profile analyses, chewiness, cohesiveness, hardness, and springiness were significantly increased in the carrageenan and xanthan gum added groups (p<0.05). According to sensory evaluations, surface color, red ginseng flavor, red ginseng taste, softness, chewiness, and overall acceptability were considered very good in the xanthan gum and guar gum added groups (p<0.05). Therefore, the red ginseng noodles containing xanthan gum and guar gum were deemed most preferable and presented the safest shelf-life during 10 weeks at -$10^{\circ}C$.

This balance study was performed to investigate nutritional effects of guar gum and calcium supplement for 8 weeks. 36 male rate of Sprague-Dawley strain weighing 50g were blocked into six groups : 5CN, 5GN, 5CS, 5GS, FFN, 10GN. Food intake, body weight gains, FER, PER, bioavailabity of energy, protein, fat, Ca and P, and Ca & P content of femur and kidney was measured. The results obtained in this study were summarized as follows: (1) Feed intake, weight gains, FER, PER and bioavailabilities of protein and P and the contents of Ca & P in femur of 5GB were significantly higher than 5CN and 5CS (p<0.05) but was not significant different with those 5GN. Fat bioavailabilities of 5GS was significantly lower than 5CN and 5GN (p<0.05) but was not significant different with those of 5CS. Ca contents of kidney of 5GS was significantly higher than 5CN and 5GN(p<0.05) but was not significant different with those of 5SC. (2) According to guar gum levels feed intake. FER and PER were not sifgnificantly different among groups but body weight gains, bioavailabilities of energy, protein, fat and Ca, Ca & P content of femur was significantly decreased (p<0.05). Bioavailabilities of P was significantly increased according to the guar gum levels (p<0.05). Ca contents in Kidney of 10GN was significantly higher those of 5GN(p<0.05) but P contents in kidney was not significant difference by guar gum levels. Therefore 5% supplemental guar gum in diet of obese man and diebetics could be recommended. But it should be careful in using 10% guar gum in diet.

The rheological and diffusion properties of blends of agar/guar gum, agar/Phytagel and Phytagel/guar gum were analysed and compared to those properties of agar or Phytagel applied alone at two different gelling concentrations. Moreover, their effects on the shoot multiplication of the apple scion Galaxy and two black locust clones (SF63, SF82) were studied, and their cost benefits over agar were calculated. Elastic hydrogel formation was demonstrated for each blend by rheological measurements, but the gel strength depended on the types and concentrations of the applied gelling agents and blends. Guar gum was able to speed the diffusion in the different blends, and diffusion was independent of gel strength. The rate of shoot multiplication increased (to 8.9 shoots per explant) and the percent of hyperhydrated shoots decreased (to 12%) when the blend of agar/guar gum was used for the shoot multiplication of apple. Similarly, the highest multiplication rates of black locust clones (between 3.9 and 4.1) were obtained on media solidified by blends containing guar gum. The best shoot performance with the lowest percent of hyperhydrated shoots (11-12% in SF63 and 2-23% in SF82) was achieved using agar alone or the agar/guar gum blend. The shoot multiplication was improved of both species and the production cost was reduced by 42% by using the agar/guar gum blend.

Guar gum and $\kappa$-carrageenan were investigated as a substitutes for phosphate in pork meat processing. Emulsion-type pork sausages were prepared in which 0.5% phosphate was used for the control, and either $\kappa$-carrageenan or guar gum were added at levels of 0.1 or 0.5% for comparison. The hydrocolloid compounds significantly enhanced water holding capacity and cooking loss. However, hardness, cohesiveness, and chewiness were not well-maintained when compared to the control; this was attributable to the altered water distribution as well as enhanced water holding capacity of the sausages by the addition of $\kappa$-carrageenan and guar gum. Furthermore, the phosphate-free sausages had similar storage stability as the phosphate-added sausage. Overall, the results suggest that $\kappa$-carrageenan or guar gum can be used in place of phosphate in conventional processing to successfully prepare phosphate-tree pork sausages.

This study was performed to investigate nutritional effect of various dietary fibers on lead absorption, and protein and lipid metabolisms in growing rats. Sixty male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain weighing 140$\pm$1.1g were blocked into 10 groups according to body weight and fed 10 kinds of diet different with fiber sources [non-fiber, cellulose, pectin, guar gum or carboxymethylcellulose(CMC)] and lead levels (0 or 1%) for 4 weeks. Results were summerized as follows : 1) Food intake, weight gain, FER and PER were remarkably decreased in lead(Pb)-added groups. Weight gain, FER and PER in Pb-added pectin group were significantly lower than those in Pb-added non-fiber group. 2) Liver and kidney weights, femur weight and length, hematocrit and hemoglobin content were decreased in Pb-added groups. Especially femur and liver weights in pectin groups were the lowest among groups. 3) Total protein content in serum was significantly decreased in Pb-added groups but was not different with dietary fiber sources. Total lipid content in serum was not different with dietary Pb levels and fiber sources, but cholesterol content in serum of guar gum group was significantly decreased by Pb addition. 4) Nitrogen, lipid and cholesteol contents in liver were significantly decreased in Pb-added groups, and lipid content in liver of pectin and CMC groups was lower than other groups. 5) Daily urinary and fecal excretions of nitrogen, kipid and cholesterol were decreased in Pb-added groups, and fecal nitrogen was significantly increased in Pb-added groups, and fecal nitrogen of cellulose and guar gum groups was significantly higher than other groups. Fecal excretions of lipid and cholesterol were increased by dietary fibers, and especially fecal lipid was remarkably increased in pectin and guar hum group. 6) Pb contents in liver and femur were decreased by dietary fibers. Especially Pb contents in liver, kidney and femur were significantly decreased in guar gum group. 7) Daily urinary and fecal excretions of Pb were significantly increased in cellulose and guar gum groups, and fecla excretion of Pb in guar gum group was twice of non-fiber group. Pb absorption ratio was significantly decreased in guar gum group. In conclusion, dietary fibers have effect on protein and lipid metabolisms, and decreased intestinal absorption of Pb by increasing fecal excretion. But the degree of effect was different with dietary fiber sources.

Guar gum is an edible starch extracted from Cyamopsis tetragonolobus and used as an auxiliary ingredient to enhance the viscosity and adhesiveness of food and improve its emulsification stability. Here, characteristics of fish surimi mixture with various added amounts (0, 0.23, 0.45, 0.67, and 0.89 wt%) of guar gum were analyzed. In unheated surimi with guar gum, the pH decreased as the content increased. In the color values analysis, only the b^* (yellowness) increased depending on the amount of added guar gum. The firmness increased with increasing guar gum content, and no significant difference in adhesiveness was observed. In heated surimi, a^* (redness) and b^* decreased in a content-dependent manner, and L^* (lightness) was higher than that of unheated surimi. Regarding physical properties, the highest values of hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were observed in the heated surimi with 0.67 wt% of guar gum. However, no significant change was observed in springiness and cohesiveness. Results of sensory evaluation indicated that with higher guar gum content, only the hardness increased slightly, and significant differences were absent in the remaining parameters. Thus, surimi with 0.67 wt% of guar gum is considered to be optimal for 3D printing.
