The effect of different culture conditions of liquid spawn on the quality characteristics of shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes)

표고의 액체종균 배양 조건 및 품질 특성

To improve the productivity of shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes), seven different types of media for liquid spawn (denoted as "A" to "G") were prepared with 0.3% soybean meal and varying sugar and glucose concentrations. During 14 days of incubation, the pH of the liquid culture gradually acidified with increasing incubation period. Additionally, there was a significant, but not prominent, difference in the degree of acidification depending on the sugar to glucose ratio. Liquid spawn culture "G," which had the highest sugar content was the most acidic on the last day of incubation. Mycelium dry weight increased significantly with increasing incubation period, and there was no significant difference in mycelium dry weight irrespective of the sugar to glucose ratio even after 14 days of culture. The inoculation of liquid spawn in sawdust medium with an inoculation volume ${\geq}45mL$ and incubation period of 15 to 18 days were the optimal culture conditions. Productivity of fruit bodies in sawdust medium and mushrooms treated with liquid spawn was significantly higher compared to solid spawn treatment. The mushrooms treated with liquid spawn had better chewiness, and the free amino acid content, which is associated with savory taste, was higher in these mushrooms compared to those treated with solid spawn.

표고의 생산성 향상을 위하여 대두박 0.3%와 설탕 및 포도당 함량을 달리한 7가지의 액체종균 배양액("A"~"G")을 제조하였다. 배양액의 pH는 배양 14일 동안 기간이 경과됨에 따라 점차 산성화되는 경향이었으며 당의 배합비에 따른 유의차가 있었으나 대차는 아니었다. 배양 최종일에서 설탕 함량이 가장 많았던 배양액("G")에서 유의적으로 높은 산성도를 보였다. 건조 균체량은 배양 기간이 경과됨에 따라 유의적으로 증가되었으며, 배양 14일 경과 후 설탕과 포도당의 배합비에 따른 유의차는 없었다. 톱밥 봉지배지에 액체종균을 접종하여 배양한 결과 접종량은 45 mL이상, 배양 기간은 15~18일 정도가 적절한 것으로 확인되었다. 톱밥 배지에서 고체 및 액체종균으로 생육된 표고의 생산성은 고체종균보다 액체종균에서 유의적으로 높았다. 액체종균에 의한 버섯은 씹힘성(chewiness)이 더 우수하였으며, 감칠맛을 내는 아미노산의 함량이 더 많았다.
