Platycodon grandiflorum root (Platycodi radix) saponins, platycosides, have been used as health supplements and food items for the treatment of respiratory disorders and pulmonary diseases. Deglycosylated saponins have been known to exert stronger biological effects than their glycosylated forms. In the present study, glycosylated platycosides in Platycodi radix extract were biotransformed into deglycosylated 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycosides, including 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycodigenin, 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl polygalacic acid, and 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platyconic acid, by pectinase from Aspergillus aculeatus. This is the first report on the quantitative enzymatic production of 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycosides. The chemical structures of 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycosides were identified with LC/MS. Moreover, the biotransformation pathways of the three types of platycosides in Platycodi radix into 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycosides were established.

Velvet antler (VA) is a historically traditional medicinal supplement and is well known in Asian countries for its pharmaceutical and health benefits. The objectives for this study were to optimize the hot water extraction (HWE) of VA for the Korean VA industry, and to determine the most effective pretreatment method among microwave (MW), ultrasonication (US), and enzymatic (EZ) techniques. Using response surface methodology, optimum extraction temperatures and times were determined by central composite design configuration based on extraction yield and sialic acid content. Various quality parameters of VA extract including yield, soluble solid, protein, and sialic acid contents were also compared with the conjunction of HWE and pretreatment. The yield and sialic acid content of VA extract were determined to be 40% and 0.73 mg/g, respectively, under an optimum temperature of 100℃ at 24 h of extraction time. The yields from VA extracts pretreated with MW, US, and EZ were 17.42%, 19.73%, and 29.15%, respectively. Among the tested commercial enzymes, pepsin was the most effective proteolytic enzyme and led to the highest yield (47.65%), soluble solids (4.03 °brix), protein (1.12 mg/ml), and sialic acid (3.04 mg/ml) contents from VA extract.

The antioxidative effect of Ecklonia cava, a brown marine alga, was investigated on radical scavenging, including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and hydroxyl and alkyl radicals, using an electron spin resonance (ESR) technique, and on the inhibition of $H_2O_2$-induced DNA damage using comet assay. E. cava was enzymatically hydrolyzed with five food industrial proteases (Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Kojizyme, Neutrase and Protamex) to prepare water-soluble extracts. All the proteolytic hydrolysates exhibited strong dose-dependent radical scavenging activities (above 80%) at a concentration of $2.5\;{\mu}g/mL$. Kojizyme extract (obtained by proteolytic hydrolysation of E. cava with Kojizyme) showed the highest hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of around 98%. In addition, the $H_2O_2$-induced DNA damage was determined using a comet assay, which was quantified by measuring the tail length. Reduction of DNA damage increased with increasing concentrations of Kojizyme extract from E. cava. These results indicated that E. cava has a potential as a valuable natural antioxidative source.

곡류 등에 오염되어 황색 독소성분인 skyrin을 생합성하는 Penicillium islandicum 배지에 grapefruit 종자로부터 추출한 천연유기 복합물인 DF-100을 처리하여 곰팡이 생육 및 skyrin 생성을 저해하는 효과를 볼 수 있었다. DF-100 500ppm 농도로 Penicillium islandicum의 생육을 91% 저해하였고 750ppm 농도에서 곰팡이 생육을 완전히 저해하였으며 500ppm농도로 skyrin생성을 완전히 저해하였다. skyrin 생합성경로를 고려할 때 DF-100은 낮은 농도에서 emodinanthrone으로부터 emodin을 거쳐 skyrin으로 전환되는 효소 반응계와 skyrinanthrone으로 진행하는 반응단계를 저해하는 것으로 밝혀 졌다.

This study was conducted in order to perform efficient extraction of lignocellulolytic enzymes amylase (EC 3.2.1.1), cellulase (EC 3.2.1.4), laccase (EC 1.10.3.2), and xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) from spent mushroom compost (SMC) of Pleurotus ostreatus, P. eryngii, and P. cornucopiae. Optimal enzyme recovery was achieved when SMCs were extracted with 50 mM sodium citrate (pH 4.5) buffer at $4^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr. Amylase, cellulase, and xylanase activities showed high values in extracts from P. ostreatus SMC, with 2.97 U/g, 1.67 U/g, and 91.56 U/g, respectively, whereas laccase activity and filter paper degradation ability were highest in extracts from P. eryngii SMC, with values of 9.01 U/g and 0.21 U/g, respectively. Enzymatic activities varied according to the SMCs released from different mushroom farms. The synthetic dyes remazol brilliant blue R and Congo red were decolorized completely by the SMC extract of P. eryngii within 120 min, and the decolorization ability of the extract was comparable to that of 0.3 U of commercial laccase. In addition, laccase activity of the SMC extract from P. eryngii was compared to that of commercial enzymes or its industrial application in decolorization.

인삼 조사포닌 추출물 내의 ginsenoside를 CK로 전환을 하기 위하여 T. reesei 유래 cellulolytic 복합 효소를 사용하였다. 온도, pH, 인삼 조사포닌 추출물 농도, 효소 농도와 반응시간별 T. reesei 효소의 인삼 조사포닌 추출물로부터 CK 전환에 대한 적정조건을 살펴본 결과, 온도는 $50^{\circ}C$에서 691.51 mg/100 g으로, pH는 조건별 큰 차이는 보이지 않았지만 pH 5.0일때 701.88 mg/100 g으로 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 인삼 조사포닌 추출물과 효소 농도에 있어서는 각각 2%(w/v) 농도(678.82 mg/100 g)와 9%(v/v) 농도(691.51 mg/100 g)일 때 가장 높은 CK 농도를 보였다. 온도 $50^{\circ}C$, pH 5.0, 인삼 조사포닌 추출물 농도 2%(w/v)와 효소농도 9%(v/v)에서 반응시간에 따른 CK 생산을 분석한 결과, 반응 48시간까지 급격히 증가하다가 그 이후에는 반응속도가 현저하게 느려지는 경향을 보였지만, 반응 96시간에 784.97 mg/100 g으로 가장 높은 CK 농도를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 인삼 조사포닌 추출물의 농도 2%(w/v), 효소 농도 7%(v/v)와 반응 시간 48 hr를 CK 생산에 중요 요인변수로 선정하여 pH 5.0와 온도 $50^{\circ}C$에서 반응표면분석법 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 인삼 조사포닌 추출물 농도 2.38%, 효소농도 6.07%와 효소반응 시간 64.04 hr를 최적조건으로 설정하였으며, CK 생산 예측 값은 840.77 mg/100 g이었다. 반응표면분석법으로 선정한 최적조건에서 플라스크와 생물반응기를 이용하여 효소반응을 수행한 결과 플라스크에서는 CK 생산 예측 값 보다 약 1.2배 높은 1,017.93 mg/100 g이 생성되었고, 생물반응기에서는 예측 값과 비슷한 862.31 mg/100 g의 CK가 생성되었다.

Objective : Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Etiological studies of diabetes and its complications showed that oxidative stress might playa major role. Therefore, many efforts have been made to regulate oxygen free radicals for treating diabetes and its complications. Because Jindangwon has been known to be effective in treatment of diabetes, the methanol extract of Jindangwon was tested for its effectiveness in reducing the oxidative stress induced by Streptozotocin. Methods : Jindangwon was washed, dried in the shade and crushed. The crushed Jindangwon was extracted 3 times, each time with 3 volumes of methyl alcohol at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The extract was filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator to yield 30.6 g. Jindangwon extract was oral-administered to the diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin 50 mg per 1 kg of body weight for 15 days. The efficacy of the Jindangwon extract was examined with regard to the enzymatic pathways involved in the oxygen free radical production and the glutathione balance. Results : he effects of the methanol extract of Jindangwon in streptozotocin-induced diabetics rats with regard to body weight, blood glucose level, hepatic lipid peroxide level, hepatic xanthine oxidase activity and type conversion rate, hepatic glutathione level, hepatic glutathione peroxidase activity, hepatic glutathione reductase activity, hepatic aldose reductase activity, and hepatic sorbitol dehydrogenase activity were favorable enough to suggest that it is a cure for diabetes and its complications. Conclusions :These results support Jindangwon as an effective reducing agent for oxidative stress in the tissues and organs by regulating the production of oxygen free radicals. Jindangwon, in particular, shows promising results for its use as a cure, or preventative medicine for diabetes and its complications by reducing oxidative stress in beta-cells of the pancreas.

쌀단백질을 이용한 고부가가치 천연 조미소재를 개발하기 위하여 쌀단백질을 프로테아제로 효소분해한 배지에서 Saccharomyces cerevisiae를 배양하여 제조한 효모 추출물(Yx)에, 효소분해 후 남은 쌀단백질 잔사를 Bacillus licheniformis 혹은 Bacillus subtilis로 발효하여 얻은 발효물(Rfl, Rfs)을 각각 첨가하였다. 쌀단백질 잔사의 발효물이 첨가된 효모추출물(YxRfl, YxRfs)의 전체적 선호도는 첨가전의 효모추출물(Yx)에 비하여 높았으며, 특히 쌀단백질 발효물의 보충에 의해서 감칠맛과 같은 풍미가 증가함을 미각센서 분석 및 관능검사에 의해서 확인할 수 있었다. 쌀단백질 잔사발효물에 의한 감칠맛의 상승은 감칠맛을 내는 아미노산 이 외에도 쌀단백질의 발효에 따라 유리된 다양한 펩타이드 분획의 영향이 있었을 것으로 예상된다. 이와 같이 감칠맛 아미노산 및 펩타이드가 함유된 쌀단백질 발효물이 보충된 효모추출물은 감칠맛과 풍미의 상승작용으로 전체적인 기호도가 높아짐에 따라 고부가가치 천연조미소재의 제조에 응용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되었다.
