본 연구에서는 보리등겨, 보리메주 및 시금장의 향기성분 조성차이를 규명하였다. 보리등겨, 보리메주 및 시금장에서 동정된 향기성분은 각각 46, 67 및 61종이었다. 시금장의 향기성분은 tetramethylpyrazine > 2-furancarboxaldehyde > ethyl palmitate > 4-ethylphenol의 순으로 많았다. 보리등겨, 보리메주 및 시금장에서 공통적으로 검출된 성분은 13종이며, 이 중 butanoic acid, hexanoic acid, heptanoic acid, octanoic acid 및 2-보리메주와 시금장으로 진행될수록 그 함량이 점차 감소하였다. 반면, nonanoic acid, 2-furancarboxaldehyde, benzenacetaldehyde 및 tetramethylpyrazine은 보리등겨에서 보리메주와 시금장으로 진행될수록 그 함량이 증가하였다.

Acetoin and ammonia, the precursors of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) having "meaty" or "roasted" flavors, were produced by the culture of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis FC1 in free and immobilized cell systems. Cells were immobilized using k-carrageenan and then were incubated at $34^{\circ}C$. The TMP productivity (0.34 g/l) and the conversion ratio (9.3%) of acetoin to TMP of the immobilized cell system were higher than those (0.24 g/l, 7.0%) of the free cell system. When the beads were activated for 12 h, the productivity of acetoin and TMP increased slightly.

Acetoin and ammonia, the precursors of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) having "nutty " or "roasted" flavors, were produced by cultivating Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis FC1. The effects of the volume concentration ratio (VCR) of cell-free medium on the formation of TMP were investigated using a rotary evaporator at $70^{\circ}C than at 80^{\circ}C$. As the VCR increased, the formation of TMP and the conversion ratio of acetoin to TMP increased. More TMP were formed at $70^{\circ}C than at 80^{\circ}C$. As the VCR increased, the concentration of acetoin decreased implying the formation of TMP from acetoin and ammonia.

To produce acetoin as a precursor of the tetramethylpyrazine flavor compound from citrate by Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis FC1, fermentation factors such as inital pH of culture media, temperature, concentration of Na-citrate, thiamin-HC1 and sugars were examined. The best acetoin production was achieved with initial pH in the culture media of 5.5, fermentation temperature of $34^{\circ}C$, Na-citrate concentration of 3%, addition of thiamin-HC1 at 2 mg/l and galactose as a carbon source. When fermentation was carried out under the optimum conditions, the exhaustion of Na-citrate and the production of acetoin took simultaneously and acetoin reached the maximum content, 80 mmole/l after 20 hours.

To produce the tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) flavor compound, Lactococcuss lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis (L. diacetilactis) FC1 was cultivated in the TMP medium containing 3% (w/v) of Na-citrate and 6% (w/v) arginine-HC1 as substrates of acetoin and $NH_3$, respectively, which are the two precursors of the TMP. After 19-day fermentation at $34^{\circ}C$, 0.57 g/l or 4.19 mmole/l of the TMP was produced. This was the first result showing that the TMP could be produced by L. diacetilactis.

To investigate the optimum conditions for the production of ammonia as a precursor of tetramethylpyrazine flavor compound from arginine by Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis FC1, fermentation factors such as initial pH of culture media, fermentation temperature, concentration of arginine-HC1, and sugars were examined. The optimum conditions were initial pH 5.5 of the culture media, fermentation temperature of $34^{\circ}C$, 6% (w/v) of arginine-HC1, and 1% (w/v) of galactose as a carbon source. Under the optimum fermentation conditions, 40 mmole/l of ammonia was produced after 40 h.

Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), an alkaloid rich in Ligusticum wallichii and fermented products, possesses multiple pharmacological activities in antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and antibacterial. This study aimed to investigate the effect of TMP (15 mg/L) on the physicochemical and gelation properties of rabbit myofibrillar proteins (MPs) with/without oxidative stress. Results showed that compared to the control, oxidative stress to MPs decreased free thiol content, gel yield, whiteness, water-holding capacity, bounder water, immobilized water, and endogenous tryptophan fluorescence intensity, but increased surface hydrophobicity, dityrosine content, and free water content (p<0.01). Without oxidative stress, MPs treated with TMP increased free thiol content, whiteness, and bound water, but decreased dityrosine content and free water (p<0.05). Under oxidative conditions, all parameters were conversely affected by TMP (p<0.01). The results suggest that TMP can be an antioxidant to decrease the concern on oxidative deterioration during meat processing and storage by improving the oxidative stability, water retention, and gel forming property of rabbit MPs.

Objectives : The pathophysiology of acute spinal cord injury(SCI) may be divided into primary and secondary mechanisms of injury. The secondary mechanism involves free radical formation, excitotoxicity, inflammation and apoptotic cell death, and sets in minutes after injury and lasts for weeks or months. During this phase the spinal tissue damages are aggravated. Therefore, secondary mechanisms of injury serve as a target for the development of neuroprotective drug against SCI. The present study investigated the effect of tetramethylpyrazine(TMP), an active ingredient purified from the rhizome of Ligusticum wallichii(川芎, chuanxiong), on neuronal apoptosis in spinal cord compression injury in rats. Methods : SCI was subjected to rats by a static compression method(35 g weight, 5 mins) and TMP was treated 3 times(30 mg/kg, i.p.) during 48 hours after the SCI. Results : TMP ameliorated the tissue damage in peri-lesion of SCI and reduced TUNEL-labeled cells both in gray matter and in white matter significantly. TMP also attenuated Bax-expressed motor neurons in the ventral horn and preserved Bcl-2-expressed motor neurons. Conclusions : These results indicate that TMP plays a protective role in apoptotic cell death of neurons and oligodendrocytes in spinal cord injury. Moreover, it is suggested that TMP and TMP-containing chuanxiong may potentially delay or protect the secondary spinal injury.

Optimum conditions for the production of acetoin and ammonia as the precursors of tetramethylpyrazine(TMP) were determined using Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis FC1 in a modified Lactose-citrate broth containing galactose, citrate, and arginine. The cell growth and the productivity of acetoin and ammonia were remarkably increased in an aerobic culture with 10 $\mu M$ of hematin. For the optimum conditions of acetoin and ammonia production, the concentration of citrate and arginine were adjusted to 156 mM and 50 mM after 18 hr cultivation, and citrate and galactose to 156 mM and 50 mM after 36 hr cultivation, respectively. In these conditions, acetoin and ammonia were produced to the final concentration of 127 mM and 195 mM, which were the highest concentations, respectively. The optimum conditions of the TMP production were also determined as follows; 4 hours at 121, pH 8.3, and the maximal yield of TMP under these conditions was 0.81 g/l.
