It is necessary to understand the cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of food-grade delivery systems, such as ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin (${\beta}$-lg) nanoparticles, for the application of bioactive compounds to functional foods. The objectives of this study were to investigate the relationships between the physicochemical properties of ${\beta}$-lg nanoparticles, such as particle size and zeta-potential value, and their cellular uptakes and cytotoxicity in Caco-2 cells. Physicochemical properties of ${\beta}$-lg nanoparticles were evaluated using particle size analyzer. Flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy were used to investigate cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of ${\beta}$-lg nanoparticles. The ${\beta}$-lg nanoparticles with various particle sizes (98 to 192 nm) and zeta-potential values (-14.8 to -17.6 mV) were successfully formed. A decrease in heating temperature from $70^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ resulted in a decrease in the particle size and an increase in the zeta-potential value of ${\beta}$-lg nanoparticles. Non-cytotoxicity was observed in Caco-2 cells treated with ${\beta}$-lg nanoparticles. There was an increase in cellular uptake of ${\beta}$-lg nanoparticles with a decrease in particle size and an increase in zeta-potential value. Cellular uptake ${\beta}$-lg nanoparticles was negatively correlated with particle size and positively correlated with zeta-potential value. Therefore, these results suggest that the particle size and zeta-potential value of ${\beta}$-lg nanoparticles play an important role in the cellular uptake. The ${\beta}$-lg nanoparticles can be used as a delivery system in foods due to its high cellular uptake and non-cytotoxicity.

Biochemical polymorphisms of sow's milk proteins, $\beta$-casein ($\beta$-CN), $\beta$-lactoglobulin ($\beta$-LG), post-lactoglobulin (post-LG), $\alpha$-lactalbumin ($\alpha$-LA) and X-protein, as genetic markers for major pig breeds (Landrace, Yorkshire, Duroc, Hampshire and cross bred) in Korea were determined by starch gel electrophoresis. Phenotype and gene frequencies at all marker loci were estimated and genetic differences among breed populations were analyzed. Three $\beta$-CN phenotypes (AA, AB and BB) controlled by two codominant alleles (${\beta}-CN^A$ and ${\beta}-CN^B$), four $\beta$-LG phenotypes (AA, AC, $AC^{\pm}$ and CC) controlled by two codominant alleles (${\beta}-LG^A$ and ${\beta}-LG^C$) and ten X-protein phenotypes (AA, BB, CC, DD, AB, AC, AD, BC, BD and CD) controlled by four codominant alleles ($X^A,\;X^B,\;X^C\;and\;X^D$) were identified. In addition, a genetically controlled polymorphism of post-LG was found for the first time in sow's milk protein. Three different phenotypes (AA, AB and BB) were designated $post-LG^A$ and $post-LG^B$. Of the five marker loci examined, $\alpha$-LA locus was observed to lack any individual variation in all breeds studied. All populations were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for all loci. There were marked breed differences for phenotype and gene frequencies in the post-LG and X-protein marker loci. However, there were little differences between breeds in the gene frequencies at the $\beta$-CN and $\beta$-LG marker loci.

The aims of this research were to produce oil-in-water ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin/alginate (${\beta}$-lg/Al) nanoemulsions loaded with coenzyme $Q_{10}$ and to investigate the combined effects of heating temperature and alginate concentration on the physicochemical properties and encapsulation efficiency of ${\beta}$-lg/Al nanoemulsions. In ${\beta}$-lg/Al nanoemulsions production, various heating temperatures (60, 65, and $70^{\circ}C$) and alginate concentrations (0, 0.01, 0.03, and 0.05%) were used. A transmission electron microscopy was used to observe morphologies of ${\beta}$-lg/Al nanoemulsions. Droplet size and zeta-potential values of ${\beta}$-lg/Al nanoemulsions and encapsulation efficiency of coenzyme $Q_{10}$ were determined by electrophoretic light scattering spectrophotometer and HPLC, respectively. The spherically shaped ${\beta}$-lg/Al nanoemulsions with the size of 169 to 220 nm were successfully formed. The heat treatments from 60 to $70^{\circ}C$ resulted in a significant (p<0.05) increase in droplet size, polydispersity, zeta-potential value of ${\beta}$-lg/Al nanoemulsions, and encapsulation efficiency of coenzyme $Q_{10}$. As alginate concentration was increased from 0 to 0.05%, there was an increase in the polydispersity index of ${\beta}$-lg/Al nanoemulsions and encapsulation efficiency of coenzyme $Q_{10}$. This study demonstrates that heating temperature and alginate concentration had a major impact on the size, polydispersity, zeta-potential value and encapsulation efficiency of coenzyme $Q_{10}$ in ${\beta}$-lg/Al nanoemulsions.

$\alpha$-La(holo-, apo form)과 $\alpha$-La과 $\beta$-Lg의 혼합물의 열 처리 시 변화의 정도를 DSC를 실시하여 비교하였다. Holo-$\alpha$-La의 열 변성 정점 온도(Td)는 apo-$\alpha$-La에 비해 높게 나타남으로써 열에 의한 변성에 더 안정함을 알 수 있었다. 두 종류 $\alpha$-La의 혼합물의 경우 Td는 일치하지 않았으며 ago-$\alpha$-La이 holo-$\alpha$-La보다 더 낮게 나타났는데 이는 apo-$\alpha$-La이열에 더 불안정함을 의미한다. $\alpha$-La과 $\beta$-Lg의 혼합물의 경우 hole-$\alpha$-La과 $\beta$-Lg의 혼합물의 변성 온도는 holo-$\alpha$-La 하나만을 열처리 했을 때보다 변성 온도가 더 낮아져서, 열에 의한 변성이 $\beta$-Lg의 유리 SH기에 의해 촉진되었음을 유추할 수 있었고, ago-$\alpha$-La과 $\beta$-Lg의 혼합물의 경우 변성 온도는 apo-$\alpha$-La하나만을 열처리 했을 때보다 변성 온도가 2배 가까이 상승하면서, 열 처리에 더 안정해짐을 보여주었다. $\beta$-Lg의 열 변성 양상은 pH 6.8의 조건에서 살펴보았을 때 가열 초기 단계부터 다소불안정한 peak를 보였으며 $\alpha$-La과 혼합되었을 때 변성을 더 촉진시키면서 열에 불안정해짐을 시사하였다.

The aim of this study was to produce enzymatic hydrolysis of ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA with alcalase for the possible application of hypoallergenic foods toward cow's milk allergenic infant. The molecular weights of most of the peptides in hydrolysates from ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA by alcalase were below 3,000 dalton. Antigenesity of ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA hydrolysates to rabbit anti-${\alpha}$-LA antiserum, ${\beta}$-LG antiserum and BSA antiserum were remarkably decreased by more than $10^{-3}$ at 20% inhibitionrate. Antigenesity of polyvalent antigenic peptide in ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA hydrolysates to specific rabbit anti-${\alpha}$-LA antiserum, ${\beta}$-LG antiserum and BSA antiserum was determined by PCS test using guina-pig. Hydrolysates of ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA with less than 3,000 dalton did not show polyvalent antigenic reaction against rabbit antiserum. Hydrolysates of ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA could be a source for the manufacturing of hypoallergenic food.

본 연구는 한국 재래산양의 ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin(${\beta}$-LG) 유전자 발현조절부위의 특성을 구명하기 위하여 PCR기법으로 specific primer를 이용하여 ${\beta}$-LG 발현조절부위를 증폭한 후 염기서열을 분석하여 Sheep종의 ${\beta}$-LG유전자 발현조절부위의 염기서열상의 차이를 분석하였다. 한국 재래산양의 genomic DNA로부터 PCR기법을 이용하여 ${\beta}$-LG 유전자 발현조절부위를 증폭한 결과 Sheep종에서 보고된 바와 같이 1,077bp의 단편크기로 증폭되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. Sheep종에서 보고된 ${\beta}$-LG 발현조절 부위의 염기서열과 한국재래산양에서 분석된 염기서열간의 차이는 총 897개의 염기중 46개의 nucleotide에서 차이를 나타내어 94.9%의 상동성을 보였다. 특히 한국재래산양과 Sheep종간 염기서열상의 차이는 Sheep종의 T염기가 재래산양의 C염기로 치환되었거나 반대로 Sheep종의 C염기가 재래산양에서 T염기로 치환되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과에서 ${\beta}$-LG유전자 발현조절부위의 염기서열은 재래산양과 Sheep 종간에 높은 상동성을 보였으나 이들 종간의 발현조절부위의 염기서열상의 차이에 대한 유전자 발현조절 관계와 전사요소는 앞으로 연구가 더 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

A newly synthesized polyhydroxy aromatic compound(LG 106w) has good skin lightening effect. Inclusion complexation of LG 106w with $\beta$-cyclodextrin and its hydroxypropyl and dimethyl derivatives was studied by the solubility method, scanning electron microscopy and differential thermal analysis. A relationship between host and guest was clearly reflected in the magnitude of the stability constant(DM-$\beta$> HP-$\beta$>$\beta$ -cyclodextrin). Formulation problems, which resulted from its very low solubility in aqueous solution, were resolved by the inclusion formation. LG 106W from inclusions is much more water-soluble than pure one. The improvement of pH and temperature stability correlated with the increased solubility was also observed. Inclusion complex of LG 106w had similar activity to pure LG 106w on the inhibition of melanin synthesis in B-16 melanoma cell but showed lower irritation on cultured cell test in vitro. According to the results, cyclodextrins might be one of the reliable candidates for improving the availability of LG 106w.

In order to study the reaction behaviors of bovine $\alpha$-lactalbumin ($\alpha$-La), $\beta$-lactoglobulin ($\beta$-Lg), and their mixtures during heat treatment, samples were analyzed using native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Native-PAGE), sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS)-PAGE, and two-dimensional (2-D)-PAGE. The electrophoresis demonstrated that the loss of native-$\alpha$-La increased as temperature increased, and that the loss of apo-$\alpha$-La was slightly higher than that of holo-$\alpha$-La. The tests also showed that during heat treatment, a mixture of $\alpha$-La and $\beta$-Lg was less stable than $\alpha$-La alone. As such, it was assumed that $\beta$-Lg induced holo-$\alpha$-La to be less stable than apo-$\alpha$-La during heat treatment. The reaction behavior of $\alpha$-La (holo-, apo-form) during heat treatment showed similar patterns in the 2-D-PAGE electropherogram, but the mixture of $\alpha$-La and $\beta$-Lg created new bands. In particular, the results showed a greater loss of native $\alpha$-La in the holo-$\alpha$-La and $\beta$-Lg mixture than in the apo-$\alpha$-La and $\beta$-Lg mixture. Thus, it can be concluded that the holo-$\alpha$-La and $\beta$-Lg mixture was more intensively affected by heat treatment than other samples, and that free sulphydryl groups took part in the heat-induced denaturation.
