The carrageenan-degrading marine bacterium Vibrio sp. strain NJ-2 was isolated from rotten red algae, and κ-carrageenase with high activity was purified from the culture supernatant. The purified enzyme with molecular mass of 33 kDa showed the maximal activity of 937 U/mg at 40℃ and pH 8.0. It maintained 80% of total activity below 40℃ and between pH 6.0 and 10.0. The kinetics experiment showed the K_m and V_max values were 2.54 g/ml and 138.89 mmol/min/mg, respectively. The thin layer chromatography and ESI-MS analysis of hydrolysates indicated that the enzyme can endolytically depolymerize the κ-carrageenan into oligosaccharides with degrees of depolymerization of 2-8. Owing to its high activity, it could be a valuable tool to produce κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides with various biological activities.

돼지감자 괴경의 수확시기 및 저장온도에 따른 가용성당의 조성변화를 HPLC 방법으로 조사하였다. 성숙된 괴경의 가용성당은 저온충격을 받은 후 수확한 시료에서부터 급격히 변화하여 봄에 수확한 시료의 경우, 중합도가 높은 GF8이상의 inulin은 총당의 66.4%에서 25.4%로 감소한 반면, GF2부터 GF7까지의 fructo 올리고당은 28.8%에서 61%로, sucrose는 3.4%에서 13.6%로 각각 증가하였다. 이러한 자가효소에 의한 inulin의 fructo 올리고당 및 sucrose로의 전환은 저온 충격을 받지않은 괴경을 $4^{\circ}C$에서 저장할 때에도 나타나서 $25{\sim}34$일 저장으로 거의 비슷한 결과를 보였다. 이와는 달리 fructo 올리고당이 61%에 달하는 3월 수확시료를 각각 $25^{\circ}C{\sim}40^{\circ}C$에서 3일간 저장한 경우에는 fructo 올리고당은 감소하나 sucrose는 증가하며 GF8이상의 inulin도 증가하거나 일정하여 저온저장과는 달리 fructo 올리고당이 감소하고 inulin의 합성이 일어나는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 괴경내의 fructo 올리고당 함량을 최대화하기 위해서는 돼지감자괴경을 포장에서 월동시켜 3월 중순에 수확하거나 또는 저온 충격을 받지 않은 것을 저온저장하는 것이 효과적인 방법으로 보인다.

Soybean contains a high concentration of carbohydrates that consist mainly of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and oligosaccharides. The NSP can be divided into insoluble NSP (mainly cellulose) and soluble NSP (composed mainly of pectic polymers, which are partially soluble in water). Monogastric animals do not have the enzymes to hydrolyze these carbohydrates, and thus their digestion occurs by means of bacterial fermentation. The fermentation of soybean carbohydrates produces short chain fatty acids that can be used as an energy source by animals. The utilization efficiency of the carbohydrates is related to the chemical structure, the level of inclusion in the diet, species and age of the animal. In poultry, soluble NSP can increase digesta viscosity, reduce the digestibility of nutrients and depress growth performance. In growing pigs, these effects, in particular the effect on gut viscosity, are often not so obvious. However, in weaning piglets, it is reported that soy oligosaccharides and soluble NSP can cause detrimental effects on intestinal health. In monogastrics, consideration must be given to the anti-nutritive effect of the NSP on nutrient digestion and absorption on one hand, as well as the potential benefits or detriments of intestinal fermentation products to the host. This mirrors the needs for i) increasing efficiency of utilization of fibrous materials in monogastrics, and ii) the maintenance and improvement of animal health in antibiotic-free production systems, on the other hand. For example, ethanol/water extraction removes the low molecular weight carbohydrate fractions, such as the oligosaccharides and part of the soluble pectins, leaving behind the insoluble fraction of the NSP, which is devoid of anti-nutritive activities. The resultant product is a high quality soy protein concentrate. This paper presents the composition and chemical structures of carbohydrates present in soybeans and discusses their nutritive and anti-nutritive effects on digestion and absorption of nutrients in pigs and poultry.

The effects of oligosaccharide supplementation on the growth performance, flock uniformity and GIT development of broiler chickens were investigated. Four diets, one negative control, one positive control supplemented with zinc-bacitracin, and two test diets supplemented with mannoligosaccharide (MOS) and fructooligosaccharide (FOS), were used for the experiment. Birds given MOS or FOS had improved body weight (BW) and feed efficiency (FCR), compared to those fed the negative control diet during the 35-d trial period. The effect on FCR became less apparent when the birds got older. FOS and MOS supplementation reduced the pancreas weight as a percentage of BW, with an effect similar to that of the antibiotic, at 35 d of age. Birds given MOS tended to have a heavier bursa (p = 0.164) and lower spleen/bursa weight ratio (p = 0.102) at 35 d of age. MOS and Zn-bacitracin showed a clear improvement on flock uniformity, compared to FOS. The mortality rate was not affected by FOS or MOS.

효소를 이용하여 전분을 수식하여 묵의 텍스쳐 특성을 개선하고 아울러 기능성 탄수화물을 첨가시켜 불성을 개선하고 건강식품화하고자 하였다. 전분의 분자수식을 위하여 maltogenic amylase를 이용하였으며 고구마 전분의 구조를 modification시켜 묵을 제조하고 또한 분지 글루코올리고당과 도토리 전분을 혼합하여 10% 전분겔을 제조한 후 Instron을 사용한 기계적 검사와 관능검사를 병행하여 텍스쳐 특성을 시험하였다. 고구마 전분에 maltogenic amylase를 0.02% 첨가하였을 때 텍스쳐 개선효과가 가장 켰으며 묵의 품질이 우수하였다. 이는 효소에 의해 긴 아밀로오스와 아밀로펙틴이 묵이 형성될 수 있는 길이로 잘라졌기 때문으로 생각된다. Bacillus licheniformis maltogenic amylase(BLMA)를 이용하여 제조한 분지글루코올리고당을 첨가한 경우, 12.5%를 첨가하였을 때 텍스쳐 특성이 가장 향상되었다. 도토리 전분을 혼합하여 전분겔을 제조한 경우에는 50%를 혼합하였을 때 가장 텍스쳐 특성이 향상되었고 100% 도토리만으로 제조한 전분겔보다 수응력이 우수하였다.

A new method based on the chemical reaction has been devised for the sequential analysis of reducing oligosaccharides using 8-amino-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS), a fluorescent precolumn derivatization reagent for reducing saccharides. The procedure established includes 1) the derivatization of a reducing oligosaccharide to produce a Schiff base, 2) the reduction of the base with sodium cyanoborohydride $(NaBH_3/CN), 3)$ the methoxycarbonylation of the resultant secondary amino group, 4) the cleavage of the glycoside bond next to the reducing end, based on the intramolecular acid hydrolysis by the action of a sulfonic acid group of the ANS derivative, 5) the identification of the liberated reducing end by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and finally 6) the recovery of the resultant oligosaccharide fragment from the cleavage reaction mixture. The extensive examination of the conditions for the sequential analysis of reducing oligosaccharides resulted in the procedure of simplicity , high selectivity and high recovery. This procedure was found to be useful for the sequential analysis of di-, tri- and tetrasaccharides.

To enjoy a healthy life, it is important to have a well-balanced diet. However, in today's society, there is an increase in the consumption of preprocessed foods and frequency of eating out. Also the western diet, which is becoming move popular worldwide, contains relatively high levels of protein and fat, and a low amount of fiber, Furthermore, the increased availability of favorite foods has created a condition were the individual diet is less variable. With these conditions, it is difficult to maintain a diet that is nutritionally balanced. With these unbalanced diets, which are difficult to change, there has been an increase in adult disease and health problems, such as colon and breast cancer, It is speculated that metabolites for carcinogens are produced from diet components and that intestinal bacteria contribute to the production of these metabolites. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the relationships between health, diet, and intestinal microflora. Soybean oligosaccharide is composed of water-soluble saccharides that have been extracted from soybean whey, a by-product from the production of soy protein. This is mainly a mixture of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrasac-charides, with the principle components being the oligosaccharide raffinose and stachyose. When consumed by humans, the oligosaccharides cannot be digested in the human duodenal and small intestinal mucosa, and these are selectively utilized by beneficial bifidobacteria in intestines. The results of acute and subacute toxicity tests, soy-bean oligosaccharides were nonpoisonous. Soybean oligosaccharides promote the growth of indigenous bifido-bacteria in the colon which by their antagonistic effects, suppress the activity of putrefactive bacteria. Also, they reduce toxic metabolites, detrimental enzymes and plasma lipid, and increase in the frequency of bowel evacuation and fecal quantities. Consequently, soybean oligosaccharides as functional foods components have potential roles in the prevention and medical treatment of chronic adult diseases. The study of processing property and physiological function of soybean oligosacchavides and development of high oligosaccharide variety allow the creation of new and exciting foodstuffs that aye functional healthy.

Milk is an important fluid in glycobiology because it contains a number of short carbohydrate chains either free or as glycoconjugates. These compounds as a class are the most abundant component and benefit the infant by developing and maintaining the infant's gut flora. New and emerging methods for oligosaccharide analysis have been developed to study milk. These methods allow for the rapid profiling of oligosaccharide mixtures with quantitation. With these tools, the role of oligosaccharide in milk is being understood. They further point to how oligosaccharide analysis can be performed, which until now has been very difficult and have lagged significantly those of other biopolymers.

The interaction between viral HA (hemagglutinin) and oligosaccharide of the host plays an important role in the infection and transmission of avian and human flu viruses. Until now, this interaction has been classified by sialyl(${\alpha}2-3$) or sialyl(${\alpha}2-6$) linkage specificity of oligosaccharide moieties for avian or human virus, respectively. In the case of H5N1 and newly mutated flu viruses, classification based on the linkage type does not correlate with human infection and human-to-human transmission of these viruses. It is newly suggested that flu infection and transmission to humans require high affinity binding to the extended conformation with long length sialyl(${\alpha}2-6$)galactose containing oligosaccharides. On the other hand, the avian flu virus requires folded conformation with sialyl(${\alpha}2-3$) or short length sialyl(${\alpha}2-6$) containing trisaccharides. This suggests a potential future direction for the development of new species-specific antiviral drugs to prevent and treat pandemic flu.

A simple sequence of membrane concentration and DEAE-Cellulose chromatography has been optimized to give a purified dextransucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512FMCM with the highest specific activity (248.8 IU/mg protein) ever reported in high yield (overall 88.7%) for dextransucrase. When there was no sucrose in the dextransucrase and the dextran reaction digest, the dextransucrase hydrolyzed glucose from dextran. The glucose was transferred to the other glucoses from dextran and formed isomaltose and isomaltodextrin. The transglycosylation efficiency of glucose from dextran was much higher with acceptors. The dextransucrase can be used for the production of various kinds (or structures) of oligosaccharides using dextran and various acceptors with almost 100% theoretical yield.
