전기화학검출기를 이용한 HPLC법으로 흰쥐의 뇌 부위별 신경전달물질의 함량을 측정하였고 이것을 이용하여 뇌기능 개선에 빈용되는 원지, 육두구, 산조인, 석창포, 상기생, 맥문동, 몰약의 메탄올 추출물이 에탄올 투여 흰쥐의 뇌 부위별 신경전달 물질의 함량변화에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 에탄올 투여에 의해 전피질의 dopamine (DA), 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid (DOPAC) 및 serotonin (5-HT) 함량이, 해마의 5-HT 함량이 각각 생리식염수 투여군에 비해 증가하였고, 전피질의 ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid(GABA) 함량은 생리식염수 투여군에 비해 감소하였다. 에탄올 투여 흰쥐의 선조체와 전피질의 DA 함량은 생약 추출물의 투여로 증가되는 경향을 보였다. 특히, 몰약 및 상기생은 에탄을 투여 휜쥐의 전피질에서 DA함량은 유의적으로 증가시키는 반면, 5-HT 함량은 유의적으로 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 몰약, 육두구, 상기생은 에탄올 투여 흰쥐의 선조체에서 GABA 함량을 유의적으로 감소시켰다. 이러한 결과는 실험에 사용된 생약 추출물의 작용이 에탄올 투여 흰쥐에서 뇌 부위 및 신경전달물질에 대해 선택적으로 나타나고 있음을 보여준다.

In our previous study, an early-maturing variety of rice (Oryza sativa L.), Jinbu can have feature with unique green color, various phytochemicals as well as nutritive components by the optimal early harvesting, called Green Rice$^{(R)}$ (GR). The aims of the present field experiments were to evaluate the changes in the weight of 1,000 kernels, yield, and contents of proximate and bioactive compounds in Chuchung, a mid-late maturing variety, during the pre-harvest maturation of rough rice and to research the appropriate harvest time and potent bioactivity of Chuchung GR. The weights of 1,000 kernels of Chuchung GR dramatically increased until 27 days after heading (DAH). The yields of Chuchung GR declined after 27 DAH and significantly declined to 0.0% after 45 DAH. The caloric value and total mineral contents were higher in the GR than in the full ripe stage, the brown rice (BR). In the GR, the contents of bioactive compounds, such as ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid, ${\gamma}$-oryzanol, and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, were much higher (P<0.05) than those in the BR, specifically during 24~27 DAH. Therefore, bioactive Chuchung GR can be produced with a reasonable yield at 24~27 DAH and it could be useful for applications in various nutritive and functional food products.

${\omega}$-아미노산인 ${\beta}$-alanine과 ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid의 해리상수를 전도도법을 이용하여 온도($20{\sim}40^{\circ}C$)와 압력($1{\sim}2500$ bar)을 변화시키면서 측정하였다. 각각 아미노산의 두 가지 해리상수는 온도가 증가하면 증가하지만 압력이 증가하면 $K_1$은 증가하지만 $K_2$는 감소하였다. 해리상수를 이용하여 여러 가지 열역학적 성질들을 계산하고 이들로부터 해리반응의 특성을 알아보았다. ${\omega}$-아미노산의 해리상수를 해리기와 치환기간의 거리의 상관관계로 알아보았다. 반응특성을 알아보기 위해 Hammett 법칙을 적용하여 반응의 치환기 상수와 압력에 따른 반응상수를 계산하였다. ${\omega}$-아미노산의 특성을 치환기 효과로 설명하고 반응유형을 반응상수로서 알아보았다.

BACKGROUND: Effect of various light wavelength and plant defense molecules were evaluated on the hardness and the contents of free amino acid including ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in soybean sprouts. METHODS AND RESULTS: Germinating soybean seeds were treated with various single wavelength of light (380, 440, 470, and 660 nm) or without light at $25^{\circ}C$ for six days. Soybean seeds were also treated with stress-signaling molecule ethephon or $H_2O_2$ at the same time. Soybean sprouts treated with 470 nm substantially raised the hardness almost two times than the control. The free amino acid contents were higher in 470 nm and $H_2O_2$ treated soybean seeds than the control. Nutritionally beneficial GABA contents were increased by the treatments of 470 nm, 440 nm, ethephon, and $H_2O_2$. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the hardness and the contents of amino acids can be regulated by stimuli, which stimuli could be composed of various wavelength and plant defense molecules. Especially, single wavelength 470 nm illumination has the effect of increasing GABA contents with increased hardness.

Natural seasoning are trends of food industries to replace synthesized seasoning due to consumer preference. However, unexpected results can be happened in a point of sensory evaluation and physico-chemical properties by adding natural seasoning such as reduced flavor, color change and so on. Therefore, this study aimed to verify the potential of sea tangle Saccharina japonica extract fermented by lactic acid bacteria (STE) for myungran (pollock roe)-jeot instead of present synthesized seasoning. Among various STE concentration (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) in myungranjeot, there was no significant physicochemical changes in a point of crude lipid, pH, total acidity, salinity and color difference. Microbiological profiles was also not significantly different. The 10% STE-myungran-jeot showed higher ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content as 24.4 mg/100g at free amino acid analysis than other STE-myungran-jeot without decline of sensory properties. In overall, it revealed that STE could replace the synthesized seasoning and improve the quality of Myungran-jeot. The results suggest that STE can be useful to develop a Korean traditional fermented food.

Polygalae radix (PR) has traditionally been used as a sedative and anti-stress agent in oriental countries for a long time. PR which contains many ingredients is especially rich in saponins. This study was performed to investigate whether ethanol extract of PR enhances pentobarbital-induced sleep behaviors. In addition, possible mechanisms also were investigated. PR inhibited locomotor activity in mice. PR increased sleep rate and sleep time by concomitant administration with sub-hypnotic dose of pentobarbital (28 mg/kg). PR prolonged total sleeping time, and shortened sleep latency induced by pentobarbital (42 mg/kg). In addition, PR increased intracellular chloride concentration in primary cultured neuronal cells. The expression level of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) were increased, and ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid $(GABA)_A$ receptors subunits were modulated by PR, especially increasing ${\gamma}$-subunit expression. In conclusion, PR augments penobarbital-induced sleep behaviors through activation of $GABA_A$ receptors and chloride channel complex.

Deer antler velvet is widely used in traditional medicine for its anti-aging, antioxidant, and immunity-enhancing effects. However, few studies have reported on the discovery of probiotic strains for deer antler fermentation to increase functional ingredient absorption. This study evaluated the ability of probiotic lactic acid bacteria to enhance the concentrations of bioactive molecules (e.g., sialic acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid [GABA]) in extracts of deer antler velvet. Seventeen strains of Lactobacillus spp. that were isolated from kimchi and infant feces, including L. sakei, L. rhamnosus, L. brevis, and L. plantarum, and those that improved the life span of Caenorhabditis elegans were selected for evaluation. Of the 17 strains, 2 (L. rhamnosus LFR20-004 and L. sakei LFR20-007) were selected based on data showing that these strains increased both the sialic acid and GABA contents of deer antler extract after fermentation for 2 d and significantly improved the life span of C. elegans. Co-fermentation with both strains further increased the concentrations of sialic acid, GABA, and metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids and amino acids. We evaluated the biological effects of the fermented antler velvet (FAV) on the antibacterial immune response in C. elegans by assessing worm survival after pathogen infection. The survival of the C. elegans conditioned with FAV for 24h was significantly higher compared with that of the control worm group fed only normal feed (non-pathogenic E. coli OP50) exposed to E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella typhi, and Listeria monocytogenes. To evaluate the protective effects of FAV on immune response, cyclophosphamide (Cy), an immune-suppressing agent was treated to in vitro and in vivo. We found that FAV significantly restored viability of mice splenocytes and immune promoting-related cytokines (interleukin [IL]-6, IL-10, inducible nitric oxide synthase [iNOS], interferon [IFN]-γ, and tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α) were activated compared to non-fermented deer antlers. This finding indicated the protective effect of FAV against Cy-induced cell death and immunosuppressed mice. Taken together, our study suggests that immune-promoting antler velvet can be produced through fermentation using L. rhamnosus LFR20-004 and L. sakei LFR20-007.

시판 우유를 이용하여 고초균과 젖산균의 혼합발효에 의한 호상 요구르트 제조에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 우유 원료를 6시간 동안 고초균 발효를 통해서 고초균 생균수가 초기 $6.0{\times}10^6$ CFU/mL에서 $2.5{\times}10^8$ CFU/mL로 증가되었다. 2차 젖산균 발효시에 생균수 증가 및 산 생성능이 촉진되었으며, 발효 1일 후에 젖산균 생균수 $3.03{\times}10^9$ CFU/mL을 나타내었으며, 고초균은 $4.67{\times}10^5$ CFU/mL로 감소하였다. 단백질 카제인은 1시간 동안 1차 고초균 발효에 의해서 급격하게 가수분해되어 저분자 펩타이드로 전환되었으며, 2차 젖산균 발효시에 유청분리가 최소화되면서 커드형성이 우수하였다. 초기 3시간까지 고초균 발효시에 젖산균에 의해 커드형성능이 양호하였으며, 그 이상의 고초균 발효는 우유의 커드형성을 지연시켰다. 특히 4시간 발효물은 심한 유청분리 현상과 함께 tyrosine 함량이 급격히 증가되어 80 mg% 수준을 나타내었다. 1차 고초균 발효를 수행한 경우에 2차 젖산균 발효에 의한 GABA 생산이 증진되었다. 호상 요구르트 커드의 표면구조는 1차 고초균 발효가 진행될수록 거친 표면적을 나타내었으며, 결론적으로 1차 고초균 발효 3시간, 2차 젖산발효 3일 동안 수행한 경우에 산도 0.92%, pH 4.34, tyrosine 함량 47.39 mg%, GABA 함량이 0.07%로 생성되었다. 우유에 고초균 발효를 단기간 수행함으로서 우유 단백질의 부분 가수분해에 의해서 2차 젖산균 발효시에 균의 생육을 촉진하여 산생성능이 우수하여 호상 요구르트 제조가 용이하였으며, 펩타이드, GABA, probiotics 등이 강화된 호상 요구르트를 제조할 수 있었다.
