Gul jeotgals (GJs) were prepared using solar salt aged for 3 years. One sample was fermented using starters, such as Bacillus subtilis JS2 and Tetragenococcus halophilus BS2-36 (each $10^6CFU/g$), and another sample was fermented without starters for 49 days at $10^{\circ}C$. Initial counts of bacilli and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in non-starter GJ were found to be $3.20{\times}10^2$ and $7.67{\times}10^1CFU/g$ on day 0, and increased to $1.37{\times}10^3$ and $1.64{\times}10^6CFU/g$ on day 49. Those of starter GJ were found to be $2.10{\times}10^5$ and $3.30{\times}10^7CFU/g$ on day 49, indicating the growth of starters. The pH values of GJ were $5.93{\pm}0.01$ (non-starter) and $5.92{\pm}0.01$ (starter) on day 0 and decreased to $5.78{\pm}0.01$ (non-starter) and $5.75{\pm}0.01$ (starter) on day 49. Amino-type nitrogen (ANN) production increased continuously during fermentation, and $407.19{\pm}15.85$ (non-starter) and $398.04{\pm}13.73$ (starter) mg% on day 49. Clone libraries of 16S rRNA genes were constructed from total DNA extracted from non-starter GJ on days 7, 21, and 42. Nucleotide sequences of Escherichia coli transformants harboring recombinant pGEM-T easy plasmid containing 16S rRNA gene inserts from different bacterial species were analyzed using BLAST. Uncultured bacterium was the most dominant group and Gram - bacteria such as Acidovorax sp., Afipia sp., and Variovorax sp. were the second dominant group. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (day 7), Bacillus velezensis (day 21 and 42), and Bacillus subtilis (day 42) were observed, but no lactic acid bacteria were detected. Acidovorax and Variovorax species might play some role in GJ fermentation. Further studies on these bacteria are necessary.

Background: Ginsenoside Rh2 is well known for many pharmacological activities, such as anticancer, antidiabetes, antiinflammatory, and antiobesity properties. Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are ubiquitous enzymes present in nature and are widely used for the synthesis of oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, glycoconjugates, and novel derivatives. We aimed to synthesize new ginsenosides from Rh2 using the recombinant GT enzyme and investigate its cytotoxicity with diverse cell lines. Methods: We have used a GT gene with 1,224-bp gene sequence cloned from Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LRGT) and then expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The recombinant GT protein was purified and demonstrated to transform Rh2 into two novel ginsenosides, and they were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques and evaluated by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2-5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Results: Two novel ginsenosides with an additional glucopyranosyl (6→1) and two additional glucopyranosyl (6→1) linked with the C-3 position of the substrate Rh2 were synthesized, respectively. Cell viability assay in the lung cancer (A549) cell line showed that glucosyl ginsenoside Rh2 inhibited cell viability more potently than ginsenoside Rg3 and Rh2 at a concentration of 10 μM. Furthermore, glucosyl ginsenoside Rh2 did not exhibit any cytotoxic effect in murine macrophage cells (RAW264.7), mouse embryo fibroblasts cells (3T3-L1), and skin cells (B16BL6) at a concentration of 10 μM compared with ginsenoside Rh2 and Rg3. Conclusion: This is the first report on the synthesis of two novel ginsenosides, namely, glucosyl ginsenoside Rh2 and diglucosyl ginsenoside Rh2 from Rh2 by using recombinant GT isolated from L. rhamnosus. Moreover, diglucosyl ginsenoside Rh2 might be a new candidate for treatment of inflammation, obesity, and skin whiting, and especially for anticancer.

It has been reported that fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) do not act only as intracellular mediators of lipid responses but also have extracellular functions. This study aimed to investigate whether extracellular liver type (L)-FABP has a biological activity and to determined serum L-FABP levels in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We isolated L-FABP complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) from the Huh7 human hepatocarcinoma cell line and expressed the recombinant L-FABP protein in Escherichia coli. A549 lung carcinoma and THP-1 monocytic cells were stimulated with the human recombinant L-FABP. Human whole blood cells were also treated with the human recombinant L-FABP or interleukin (IL)-1α. IL-6 levels were measured in cell culture supernatants using IL-6 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Human recombinant L-FABP induced IL-6 in a dose-dependent manner in A549, THP-1 cells, and whole blood cells. The blood samples of healthy volunteers and patients with ESRD were taken after an overnight fast. The serum levels of L-FABP in healthy volunteers and ESRD patients were quantified with L-FABP ELISA. The values of L-FABP in patients with ESRD were significantly lower than those in the control group. Our results demonstrated the biological activity of L-FABP in human cells suggesting L-FABP can be a mediator of inflammation.

This study aimed to develop and commercialize abalone Haliotis discus hannai marinated in seasoned soy sauce (AM-S) for the elderly by adjusting its texture (hardness) and strengthening its nutritional components. The number of pounding cycles [X₁, 2-14 times] and heating time in a retort [X₂, 5-19 min] were selected as independent variables, and hardness (Y₁) and overall acceptance (Y₂) were selected as dependent variables. The optimal conditions for X₁ and X₂ were 12 pounding cycles and heating in a retort for 17 min, respectively. The hardness values 209.2×10³ N/m² for the third method and 259.1×10³ N/m² for the first method. The nutritional value was 13.1 g/100 g crude protein and vitamins A, D, and C were not detected. The mineral content was 33.2 mg/100 g calcium and 258.7 mg/100 g potassium. Organisms from the coliform group and Escherichia coli were not detected. Therefore, AM-S for the elderly was classified as a hardness- and nutrient-controlled product based on the standards and specifications of senior-friendly foods provided in the MFDS and classified as the first step of senior-friendly foods according to the standards and specifications of senior-friendly foods provided in the KS.

우리의 전통 발효식품인 동치미로부터 E. coli O157에 대한 항균 활성을 나타내는 L. plantarum K11 균주가 생산하는 박테리오신의 활성에 영향을 미치는 배양 조건에 관하여 살펴보았다. 본 균주가 생산하는 박테리오신은 MRS 배지 상에서 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었고 M17, BHI 및 TSB 보다 균의 증식속도도 빠르게 나타났다. 대수기 초기부터 활성이 점점 증가하기 시작하여 정지기 때 최대에 이르렀고 이후에는 급격히 감소하였다 배양온도의 영향으로는 온도가 상승함에 따라 박테리오신의 활성도 증가하여 최대 활성은 $37^{\circ}C$상에서 나타났고 $45^{\circ}C$에서는 오히려 활성이 감소하였다. 배지의 초기 pH 영향을 살펴본 결과 배양 8시간부터 pH 7.0과 8.0에서 활성이 나타나기 시작하여 배양이 진행될수록 pH 7.0에서 최대로 나타났으나, pH 5.0과 9.0에서는 활성이 매우 약하게 나타났다 Glucose 0.5, 1.0%와 lactose $0.5{\sim}1.5%$를 첨가한 경우 대조구에 비해 박테리오신 활성이 2배 이상 증가하였으나, galactose 1.0%, fructose 1.0% 및 maltose 1.5% 이상 첨가 시에는 대조구 보다 오히려 활성이 감소되었다. 질소원은 0.5%의 beef extract나 tryptone 혹은 0.5와 1.0%의 peptone이나 yeast extract에 의해 대조구와 동일한 활성을 나타내었으나, 그 이상의 농도로 첨가했을 때에는 활성이 감소되었다. 또한 NaCl 0.5%와 $K_2HPO_4$ 0.5% 첨가한 경우 박테리오신의 활성이 대조구보다 2배 증가한 반면, NaCl 2.0%, $K_2HPO_4$ 2.0% 이상, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ 1.5% 이상 및 $MnSO_4{\cdot}H_2O$ 1.0% 이상을 첨가했을 때에는 대조구 활성의 50% 이하로 감소하였다.

본 연구에서는 과열증기 처리온도에 따른 마늘의 불쾌취 제거 효과를 비롯한 이화학적, 미생물학적, 관능적 특성을 연구하고자 하였다. 과열증기 장치의 장점으로는 에너지 효율적이고 환경오염이 적으며, 식품 고유의 영양성분 변화가 적게 일어난다는 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 마늘 특유의 불쾌취 및 매운맛 정도를 알아보는 total thiosulfinate, total pyruvate 함량에서는 비처리구보다 과열증기 처리한 모든 조건에서 감소하였고, 관능평가에서는 비처리구보다 과열증기 처리한 모든 조건에서 높은 점수를 획득한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 마늘의 휘발성 향기물질 특성에서도 비처리구보다 과열증기 처리구에서 마늘 특유의 불쾌취를 생성하는 향기성분이 크게 저감화된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 항산화 활성 및 총 페놀 화합물 함량에서는 비처리구가 과열증기 처리구보다 다소 높은 특성을 나타내었지만 과열증기 처리 시에도 FRAP는 77~93%, ABTS 라디칼 소거능은 89~97%, 총 페놀성 화합물 함량은 76~79%로 잔류하여 모든 항산화 활성에서 비교적 높게 유지되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 조직감 항목에서는 과열증기 처리구가 비처리구보다 경도가 다소 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 항균성 특성에서는 비처리구가 과열증기 처리구보다 큰 항균성을 나타내었다. 모든 균주에서 비처리구는 10 mm 이상의 inhibition zone을 형성하였고, 과열증기 처리구에서는 1.0~10.0 mm의 inhibition zone을 형성하였다. 다음으로 일반세균, 대장균군, 효모 및 곰팡이 균수에서는 대장균군과 효모 및 곰팡이는 검출되지 않았지만, 일반세균수는 비처리구에서 8.69 log CFU/g이었으며 과열증기 처리 온도를 $100{\sim}350^{\circ}C$로 처리한 T100~T350 처리구들에서는 각각 5.65, 5.18, 5.15, 4.85, 4.75, 2.92 log CFU/g으로 대조구보다 3~6 log CFU/g의 수준이 감소한 균수를 확인하였다. 결과적으로 과열증기 처리는 마늘 특유의 불쾌취 및 매운맛을 저감화하며 다른 열처리에 비해 마늘의 영양물질 및 생리활성 물질이 높게 유지하고, 또한 미생물 제거 및 저감화에도 효과적이라고 생각한다.
