  • Two low-salt complex media, bactopeptone and desalted yeast extract, were used for high density cultivation of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus (DSM 1617). Bactopeptone, which has low mineral ion content among various complex media, was good for cell growth in batch cultures; the maximal cell density in bactopeptone was comparable to that in yeast extract. However, cell growth was rather poor when bactopeptone was added by the fed-batch procedure. Since several vitamins are deficient in abctopeptone, the effect of vitamins on cell growth was examined. Among the vitamins tested, pyridoxine was found to improve the growth rate of S. solfataricus. To reduce the growth inhibition caused by mineral ions, yeast extract was dialyzed against distilled water and then fed-batch cultures were carried out using a fed medium containing desalted yeast extract. Although the concentrations of mineral ions in yeast extract were significantly lowered by the dialysis whether low molecular weight solutes in yest extract are crucial for cell growth, we investigated the effect of trehalose, a most abundant compatible solute in yeast extract, on the growth pattern. Cell densities were increased and the length of the lag phase was markedly shortened by the presence of trehalose, indicating that trehalose plays an important role in the growth of S. solfataricus.

  • A thermostable trehalose synthase (TtTSase) from Thermus thermophilus HJ6 was immobilized on chitosan activated with glutaraldehyde. The yield of immobilization was evaluated as 39.68%. The optimum pH of the immobilized enzyme was similar to that of the free enzyme. However, the optimal temperature ranges were shifted by about $4^{\circ}C$ owing to better thermal stability after immobilization. The half-life of heat inactivation for free and immobilized enzymes was 5.7 and 6.3 days at $70^{\circ}C$, respectively, thus showing a lager thermostability of the immobilized enzyme. When tested in batch reaction, the immobilized enzyme retained its relative activity of 53% after 30 reuses of reaction within 12 days, and still retained 82% of its initial activity even after 150 days at $4^{\circ}C$. A packed-bed bioreactor with immobilized enzyme showed a maximum yield of 56% trehalose from 100 mM maltose in a continuous recycling system (bed volume: 10 ml) under conditions of pH 7.0 and $70^{\circ}C$.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify appropriate sweeteners that could improve the dryness, while reducing calorie by adding various sweeteners to Sulgitteok using dry non-glutinous rice flour. Of six sweeteners (sucrose, trehalose, honey, acesulfame K, oligosaccharide, and erythritol) added, Sulgitteok with acesulfame K had the highest moisture content, whereas Sulgitteok with trehalose had the lowest moisture content. The moisture content of all samples were decreased when storage period was increased except the sample added with trehalose. Sulgitteok with erythritol had the highest L-value, whereas Sulgitteok with oligosaccharide had the lowest L-value. The L-value and b-value of Sulgitteok samples decreased when storage period was increased. Sulgitteok with trehalose had the highest hardness, whereas Sulgitteok with oligosaccharide had the lowest hardness. The hardness increased in all samples when storage period was increased. Sulgitteok sweetened with acesulfame K and honey had the highest acceptance.

  • This study was conducted to develop easily chewable Korean rice cake (Garaedduk) for the elderly while maintaining its original form and flavor. We developed two types of easy-to-chew Garaedduk products by adding starch-degrading enzyme or trehalose, respectively. Characteristics of Garaedduk products were investigated and comparative analysis was carried out between control and experimental groups. The water content of control and enzyme-added Garaedduk was 43.55% and 44.11%, respectively, which was significantly higher than trehalose-added Garaedduk (40.30%) as free water content was reduced by the formation of hydrogen bonds between trehalose and water molecules. Due to the browning of reducing sugar produced by the decomposition of rice starch, Hunter b-value of enzyme-added Garaedduk was significantly higher compared to others. Hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness of experimental groups were lower than the control group. Consumer test scores showed significant differences with respect to overall liking, chewiness, and swallowing between control and experimental groups. Elderly preferred experimental Garaedduks over control and the experimental groups were evaluated to be softer, easily chewable, and swallowable.

  • Tremella fuciformis produces white jelly fruitbody which is used as a special food in the orient. Symbiotic relationship between T. fuciformis and Hypoxylon sp. is important for mass production of fruitbody in T. fuciformis. T. fuciformis showed the peak of 24mg/2mL on the 9th day, after that mycelial growth maintained a gentle curve. Protein content increased into 0.69㎍/mL in rapid, T. fuciformis fruiting body maintained high galactose, mycelia of T. fuciformis showed 42.6% trehalose.

  • To Produce the modified Cheongiu that has high ethanol content, an ethanol-tolerant strain Saccharo-myces cerevislae SE2l1 was screened from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kyokai No. 10 strain. The isolate showed faster growth than in the medium containing 10% ethanol compared with original strain. The isolate produced a higher concentration of ethanol and showed higher resistance to ethanol, high osmolarity and heat than the original strain. The analyses of yeast membrane components indicated that there were no significant changes in composition of sterols and phospholipids between the isolated and the original strain. However, during the fermentation, the iso-lated strain could change the fatty acid composition in the membrane more rapidly in the direction of decreasing membrane unsaturation and accumulate more trehalose in the cell than the original strain. These data suggest that the ability to change its membrane fatty acid composition and to accumulate trehalose may make the isolated strain easily adapt to changes in external condition.
