The concerns over obesity and obesity-related health problems are increasing as many consumers relate these health problems with sugar. The demand for sugar reduction is also rising and regulatory movement by governments including Korea is driven to reflect such demand. For the past decades, there have been diverse development and marketing of various sweeteners to substitute sucrose and high fructose corn syrup. Low caloric alternative sweeteners can be divided into high intensity sweeteners that have greater sweetness potency compared to sucrose, and low intensity sweeteners such as polyols, oligosaccharides and rare sugars that have less sweetness potency. This paper discusses representative low caloric alternative sweeteners, their market and trend.

Two strains S-P and S-P-2, both Streptomyces sp., have been isolated and were found to have relatively high specific enzyme activity compared to other organisms reported. The specific activity of the enzyme produced from these two strains were 0.25 and 0.2 international units respectively. The productivity of the enzyme achieved was about 50 IU/l/hr. Glucose isomerase form these strains was found to be stable under the temperature of heat treatment (at $65^{\circ}C$) for fixation of enzyme inside the dell. This organism has an advantage in that it did not require toxic metalic ion for enzyme activity and could utilize xylan in leu of xylose as an inducer. The optimal temperature and pH of enzymatic reaction purpose of using these data for the optimal operation and designing of enzyme reactor system. The reaction mechanism was found to follow the single substrate reversible reaction kinetics. The kinetic constants determined experimentally are : $K_{mf}=0.33M,\;K_{mb}=1.0M,\;V_{mf}=0.88{\mu}mole\;per\;min.,\;V_{mb}= 2.96{\mu}mole\;per\;min.\;and\;K_{eq}=0.74.

The rising prevalence of obesity and diabetes is a significant health concern both in globally and is now regarded as a worldwide epidemic. Added sugars like sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are a major concern due to their link with an increased incidence of diet-induced obesity and diabetes. The purpose of this review is to provide insight into the effects of natural sweeteners as alternatives to sucrose and HFCS, which are known to have negative impacts on metabolic diseases and to promote further research on sugar consumption with a focus on improving metabolic health. The collective evidences suggest that natural alternative sweeteners have positive impacts on various markers associated with obesity and diabetes, including body weight gain, hepatic fat accumulation, abnormal blood glucose or lipid homeostasis, and insulin resistance. Taken together, natural alternative sweeteners can be useful substitutes to decrease the risk of obesity and diabetes compared with sucrose and HFCS.

국산 포도주의 개발을 목적으로 당도 $12^{\circ}Brix$, 산도 0.7%인 1999년도 충북 영동산 Campbell Early 품종의 포도에 여러 종류의 당을 첨가하여 포도주의 발효 특성을 조사하였다. 설탕, xylitol, 포도당, 물엿, 고과당, 이소말토올리고당 등 6가지 각기 다른 당 또는 당 알코올을 최종 당 농도 $21^{\circ}Brix$가 되도록 포도에 첨가하였고 활성 건조 효모를 0.02%(w/v) 첨가하여 발효시켰다. 전발효는 $20^{\circ}C$에서 8일간, 후발효는 $13^{\circ}C$에서 70일간 행하였다. 포도주 발효속도는 포도당을 첨가한 시험구가 가장 빨라 발효 6일만에 12%(v/v)의 알코올을 생성하였고 이 때 당도는 $5.5^{\circ}Brix$를 나타내었다. 설탕과 고과당을 첨가한 포도주도 포도당과 비슷한 경향을 나타내었으나 최종 알코올 함량은 각각 10.3%(v/v)와 11.2%(v/v)로 포도당 첨가구보다는 약간 낮았다. 한편 물엿, xylitol, 이소말토올리고당을 첨가한 포도주는 포도당을 첨가한 시험구와 초기 발효 속도는 비슷하였으나 최종 포도주의 알코올 농도가 평균 7%(v/v) 정도로 상대적으로 낮았다. pH는 발효 기간 중에 큰 변화가 없었고 첨가한 당에 따라서도 큰 차이가 없었으며 총산은 전체적으로 약 0.7%에서 0.3% 이하로 감소하였다. 색도는 발효가 진행됨에 따라 시험구 모두 점차 붉은 색이 짙어졌는데 그 중 설탕, xylitol, 이소말토올리고당의 첨가구가 붉은 색을 진하게 나타내었다. 80일간의 숙성을 거친 포도주의 관능 검사 결과 단맛과 청량감이 있는 xylitol 첨가구가 평균 8.96으로 가장 높은 선호도를 나타냈으며 당 분석 결과 포도주 내에 xylitol이 발효되지 않고 그대로 남아있음을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to measure the antioxidant activity of yacon root and to manufacture yacon pickles for commercialization as a functional food. The total phenol content in yacon roots were the highest, 29.96 mg GAE/ 100 g, in the ethyl acetate fraction and the DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity was 37.07%, and 91.60%, respectively, in the ethyl acetate fraction. The optimum recipe for the pickling solution was determined to be vinegar, water and high fructose corn syrup, at 34%, 22% and 44%, respectively. The quality characteristics of yacon pickles using this solution were monitored during storage at $25^{\circ}C$ for 43 days. The pH value decreased to 2.98 (42 days) during storage and $^{\circ}Brix$ gradually increased during storage. The L-value decreased significantly during storage but there were no significant changes detected in the a and b values. No significant changes were detected in the hardness of the yacon pickles. According to the sensory evaluation, no significant changes in taste, texture and overall acceptance of yacon pickle were observed during storage. These results indicated that yacon was an excellent functional food in terms of its antioxidant activity and that pickling might be a promising methods to maintain the taste and quality of yacon during storage.

Glucose (xylose) isomerases from Streptomyces sp. have been used for the production of high fructose corn syrup for industrial purposes. An 11-kb DNA fragment containing the xyl gene cluster was isolated from Streptomyces lividans TK24 and its nucleotide sequences were analyzed. It was found that the xyl gene cluster contained a putative transcriptional repressor (xylR), xylulokinase (xylB), and xylose isomerase (xylA) genes. The transcriptional directions of the xylB and xylA genes were divergent, which is consistent to those found in other streptomycetes. A gene encoding XylR was located downstream of the xylB gene in the same direction, and its mutant strain produced xylose isomerase regardless of xylose in the media. The enzyme expression level in the mutant was 4.6 times higher than that in the parent strain under xylose-induced condition. Even in the absence of xylose, the mutant strain produce over 60% of enzyme compared with the xylose-induced condition. Gel mobility shift assay showed that XylR was able to bind to the putative xyl promoter, and its binding was inhibited by the addition of xylose in vitro. This result suggested that XylR acts as a repressor in the S. lividans xylose operon.

The enzyme xylose isomerase (E.C. 5.3.1.5, XI) is responsible for the conversion of an aldose to ketose, especially xylose to xylulose. Owing to the ability of XI to isomerize glucose to fructose, this enzyme is used in the food industry to prepare high-fructose corn syrup. Therefore, we studied the characteristics of XI from Anoxybacillus kamchatkensis G10, a thermophilic bacterium. First, the gene coding for XI (xylA) was inserted into the pET-21a(+) expression vector and the construct was transformed into the Escherichia coli competent cell BL21 (DE3). The expression of recombinant XI was induced in the absence of isopropyl-thio-${\beta}$-galactopyranoside and purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The optimum temperature of recombinant XI was $80^{\circ}C$ and measurement of the heat stability indicated that 55% of residual activity was maintained after 2 h incubation at $60^{\circ}C$. The optimum pH was found to be 7.5 in sodium phosphate buffer. Magnesium, manganese, and cobalt ions were found to increase the enzyme activity; manganese was the most effective. Additionally, recombinant XI was resistant to the presence of $Ca^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ ions. The kinetic properties, $K_m$ and $V_{max}$, were calculated as 81.44 mM and $2.237{\mu}mol/min/mg$, respectively. Through redundancy analysis, XI of A. kamchatkensis G10 was classified into a family containing type II XIs produced by the genera Geobacillus, Bacillus, and Thermotoga. These results suggested that the thermostable nature of XI of A. kamchatkensis G10 may be advantageous in industrial applications and food processing.

목이버섯으로부터 항혈전물질을 추출하여 제품화하기 위한 대량생산공정을 다음과 같이 확립하였다. 즉, 건조된 목이버섯을 분쇄하여 75% ethanol로 추출하여 원심분리한 침전물에 증류수에 첨가한 후 $76^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 추출한 후 압착여과하여 여과액을 얻는다. 이를 감압농축한 후 여기에 최종 농도가 80%가 되도록 ethanol을 첨가하여 추출한 침전물을 동결건조한다. 제품의 소비지 기호도 조사를 통해 부재료의 종류와 첨가량을 결정하여 배합비를 목이버섯 추출물 90.5%, 고과당 2.0%, $\beta$-cyclodextrin 1.5%, 올리고 당 2.0%, 배 농축액 4.0%로 결정하였다. 제품을 포장하여 25, 37, $45^{\circ}C$에서 저장하였을 경우 저장 8주에서도 수분활성도, 수분함량, pH, 산도에 큰 변화가 없었다. 미생물 생균수는 $25^{\circ}C$와 $37^{\circ}C$에서 저장하였을 경우 저장기간이 지남에 따라 약간 증가한 반면, $45^{\circ}C$에서 저장하였을 경우에는 저장 2개월 후에는 대부분 사멸하였다. 제품을 쥐에 정맥투여하였을 경우 1,000 mg/kg 투여 시 APTT 활성, TT 활성, PT 활성, FIB 활성이 대조구와 비교하여 유의적으로 높았으며 500 mg/kg을 경구투여하였을 경우 항혈소판활성이 아스피린과 동일한 수준을 나타내었다.
