Alginate lyases (endo and exo-lyases) are required for the degradation of alginate into its constituting monomers. Efficient bioethanol production and extraction of bioactives from brown algae requires intensive use of these enzymes. Nonetheless, there are few commercial alginate lyase preparations, and their costs make them unsuitable for large scale experiments. A recombinant expression protocol has been developed in this study for producing seven endo-lyases and three exo-lyases as soluble and highly active preparations. Saccharification of alginate using 21 different endo/exo-lyase combinations shows that there is complementary enzymatic activity between some of the endo/exo pairs. This is probably due to favorable matching of their substrate biases for the different glycosidic bonds in the alginate molecule. Therefore, selection of enzymes for the best saccharification results for a given biomass should be based on screens comprising both types of lyases. Additionally, different incubation temperatures, enzyme load ratios, and enzyme loading strategies were assessed using the best four enzyme combinations for treating Macrocystis pyrifera biomass. It was shown that $30^{\circ}C$ with a 1:3 endo/exo loading ratio was suitable for all four combinations. Moreover, simultaneous loading of endo-and exo-lyases at the beginning of the reaction allowed maximum alginate saccharification in half the time than when the exo-lyases were added sequentially.

Fresh ginseng is prone to spoilage due to its high moisture content. For long-term storage, most fresh ginsengs are dried to white ginseng (WG) or steamed for hours at high temperature/pressure and dried to form Korean Red ginseng (KRG). They are further processed for ginseng products when subjected to hot water extraction/concentration under pressure. These WG or KRG preparation processes affect ginsenoside compositions and also other ginseng components, probably during treatments like steaming and drying, to form diverse bioactive phospholipids. It is known that ginseng contains high amounts of gintonin lysophosphatidic acids (LPAs). LPAs are simple lipid-derived growth factors in animals and humans and act as exogenous ligands of six GTP-binding-protein coupled LPA receptor subtypes. LPAs play diverse roles ranging from brain development to hair growth in animals and humans. LPA-mediated signaling pathways involve various GTP-binding proteins to regulate downstream pathways like [Ca²⁺]_i transient induction. Recent studies have shown that gintonin exhibits anti-Alzheimer's disease and antiarthritis effects in vitro and in vivo mediated by gintonin LPAs, the active ingredients of gintonin, a ginseng-derived neurotrophin. However, little is known about how gintonin LPAs are formed in high amounts in ginseng compared to other herbs. This review introduces atypical or non-enzymatic pathways under the conversion of ginseng phospholipids into gintonin LPAs during steaming and extraction/concentration processes, which exert beneficial effects against degenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and arthritis in animals and humans via LPA receptors.

Novel tyrosinase inhibitors are important for pigmentation in the skin. Following extraction of tyrosinase inhibitors from edible vegetables or fruits, we found that the Prunus persica flesh extract (PPFE) exhibited potential inhibitory activity for melanogenesis. PPFE showed tyrosinase inhibitory activity in an enzymatic assay and PPFE also significantly inhibited the melanin formation in cultured mouse melan-a cells. Moreover, real-time RT-PCR analysis revealed that the inhibition of melanin production by PPFE was closely related to marked suppression of mRNA expression of tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1 and -2 (TRP-1 and TRP-2) in melan-a cells. Further investigation found that the modulation of tyrosinase expression by PPFE was associated with the transcriptional regulation of the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). PPFE inhibited the promoter activity of MITF and suppressed MITF mRNA expression in melan-a cells. These results indicate that PPFE down-regulates melanogenesis-associated gene expression through MITF-mediated transcriptional regulation and these events might be related to the hypopigmentary effects of PPFE.

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant organic material on earth and also promising raw material for bioenergy production. Agricultural residues in the process of bio-oil extraction, is an abundant and low-cost lignocellulosic material. The technology for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass resources to fuels and chemicals, such as ethanol, has been under development for decades. One of the well-studied technologies that are currently being commercialized is to use a dilute acid-catalyzed pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation to produce ethanol. In this work, the dilute-acid hydrolysis of agricultural residues was optimized through the utilization of statistical experimental design. Evaluation criteria for optimization of the pretreatment conditions were based on high xylose recovery and low inhibitor contents in the hydrolyzates. The purpose of this study was to gain a more accurate understanding of the quantities of acid required for effective hydrolysis and the reactivity trade-offs with reaction time and temperature that will enable overall process optimization.

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.

New technology-driven biocatalysts are revolutionizing the biochemical industries. With maximum utilization of renewable feedstock, biocatalysts have been the basis for a major breakthrough. Lipases are the most widely established catalysts used for hydrolysis, esterification and transesterification reactions. In this research, a biochemical process that combines extraction of lipase enzyme from germinated wheat seeds and its application to valorize glycerol to acetins by esterification is presented. Acetins are among highly rated, value-added products derived from glycerol. The favorable conditions for the enzymatic conversion of glycerol were observed as glycerol to acetic acid molar ratio (1:5), reaction temperature ($40^{\circ}C$) and the amount of enzyme (20% v/v). 65.93% of glycerol conversion was achieved for duration of 15 h with the use of tert-butanol solvent. This method proposes to explore the viability of a biological route to convert glycerol derived from biodiesel industry to acetins with further streamlining.

우렁쉥이 껍질은 다량의 색소를 함유하지만 껌질 자체는 어류가 소화시킬 수 없는 구조를 갖기 때문에 색소분해가 일어나지 않도록 고압 가열하거나 효소처리하여 소화할 수 있는 상태로 만들면 어류 사료에 직접 첨가할 수 있게 된다. 따라서 본 실험은 우렁쉥이 껍질 분말에 viscozyme, celluclast, visco-cell (1:1), ultrazyme 등의 복합효소를 일정량 첨가한 후 $50^{\circ}C$에서 일정시간 분해시키면서 일어나는 화학적 변화를 조사하였다. 불용성 고형분과의 분리능력을 의미하는 상청액율은 효소 첨가구의 농도가 $55.20\~71.88\%$로 효소 무처리구의 $52.68\%$에 비하여 높았고, 고형분 수율도 $800{\mu}l$ 첨가시 까지는 증가하다가 이후 감소하는 경향이었다. 이를 토대로 Duncan multiple test를 하여 각 인자간의 상관관계를 고려한 후 기준 첨가량을 $400{\mu}l$로 하였다. 각 효소의 최적 반응시간을 결정하기 위하여 껍질 분말에 각 효소 $400{\mu}l$를 첨가한 후 20, 40, 60, 120, 180, 240분간 반응시켰다. 효소의 종류에 관계없이 고형분 수율, 상청액율 및 고형분 농도 값이 반응 60분 후에는 거의 변화가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 상청액 중 당 조성을 분석한 결과 viscozyme 처리구는 glucose, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine이 주성분이었고, celluclast 처리구는 glucose, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine이, ultrazyme 처리구는 glucose가 주성분이었으며, visco-cello(1:1) 혼합효소구는 celluclast에 의한 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 껍질은 약 $40\%$의 단백질 (건물량)을 함유하지만, 각 부위별 아미노산 조성은 내피 중의 함량이 가장 높아 21.00g/100g sample이었다. 이들 아미노산 함량중 Asp와 Glu가 가장 많았고, 내피 중 필수아미노산의 함량도 껍질보다 높았다. 껌질 중의 지방산 조성은 매우 다양하였으며, 포화 지방산 중에서는 14 : 0, 16 : 0, 18 : 0가 주성분이었으며, 불포화지방산 중에서는 n-3 계열의 총지질 (TL), 중성지질 (NL), 극성지질 (PL)이 각각 $19.72\%,\;20.44\%,\;20.10\%$였고, n-6 계열의 TL, NL, PL이 각각 $9.21\% \;9.10\%,\;12.18\%$였다. 총 포화지방산의 함량은 PL이 $40.31\%$, NL이 $36.44\%$, TL이 $35.41\%$로 PL의 함량이 높았다.
