본 연구는 발효에 의한 생리기능성을 조사하여 기능성 식품 소재 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 Lactobacillus 속을 이용한 작두콩 발효액을 제조하여 항산화, 항염증, 항균 활성을 평가하였다. 총폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량은 균주의 종류에 상관없이 발효 후 유의적으로 낮은 결과를 보였으며(p<0.05), 항산화 활성을 측정한 DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성 또한 발효에 따른 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 NO 소거 활성으로 항염증 활성을 측정한 결과, 발효 후 농도 의존적으로 증가하는 것을 확인하였으며, L. plantarum로 발효한 발효액보다 L. brevis로 발효한 발효액의 항염증 활성이 더 높았음을 확인하였다. 작두콩 발효액의 항균 활성을 측정한 결과, 녹농균인 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 포도상구균인 Staphylococcus sp., 대장균인 Escherichia coli에 대한 억제 효과가 우수하였으며, 세포 독성 측정 결과, 모든 실험군에서 대식세포인 RAW 264.7에 대한 독성을 보이지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과는 발효에 따른 항염증 및 항균 활성이 증가하였음을 보여주었으며, 이를 토대로 다양한 바이오 및 식품산업 분야에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 다만 추후에는 발효 조건의 확립과 항염증 및 항균 활성에 대한 정확한 메커니즘 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

We studied the effect of cadmium on chlorophylls and rubisco activation in Canavalia ensiformis L. leaves. Chlorophyll levels were reduced by 5.0 ${\mu}$M Cd. Rubisco activity at 5.0 ${\mu}$M Cd was significantly smaller than that at no treatment. Rubisco Content showed patterns of change similar to rubisco activity. These data suggest that rubisco activity was associated with an amount of rubisco protein, and that the activation and induction of rubisco is inhibited by Cd. The degree of intensity of 50 and 14.5 kD polypeptides identified as the large and small subunit of rubisco by SDS-PAGE analysis at 5.0 ${\mu}$M Cd was significantly lower than that at control, indicating Cd had a e f-fect on both subunits. Under the assumption that effects of Cd on rubisco may be r elated to rubisco activase, in addition to, its activity and content we re determined . The rubisco activase activity at 5.0 ${\mu}$M Cd was more decreased than the control. A similar change pattern was also observed in content of rubisco activase. Remarkable differences in the intensitiy of both the 45 kD and 41 kD band were found between at control and Cd-treatment. These results suggest that the change in the levels of rubisco activase leads to a subsequent alter action of rubisco levels.

Various types of cropping systems have been developed, such as a highly profitable cropping system, and there is a need to develop for each region. Jack bean [Canavalia ensiformis (L.)] is widely consumed for tea in which young seedpods are dried, roasted, and boiled in water. Jack bean is rich in histidine and urease that improve allergic rhinitis and they are effective in alleviating inflammation. Thus, young dried and roasted seedpods are very profitable. However, only 'young pods (soft, pre-swelling)' should be used for tea processing according to the 'Food Code' (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety). Therefore, the pods to be harvested were set based on a length of more than 20 cm and a thickness of less than 2 cm. In the southern region of Korea, onion and garlic are grown as primary crops in winter. Therefore, the possibility of a cropping system linked with Jack bean in summer was studied. Onion and garlic were sown and transplanted on October 25, 2021. Garlic was harvested on May 23,2022, followed by onion on May 31,2022. After that, the jack bean was transplanted on May 31, June 7, June 17, and June 27 to determine the appropriate period for the transplanting. The young seedpods were harvested 100-110 days after the transplant. Compared to the yield of young seedpods, there was no significant difference according to the transplantation period. Given that young seedpods are harvested before planting onion and garlic, 'Onion - Jack bean' and 'Garlic - Jack bean' cropping systems will be advantageous for income improvement.

In vitro physiological functions such as jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) urease inhibitory activity and retarding effect of glucose/bile acid of Aloe vera gel concentrated by the optimized DIS (Dewatering Impregnation & Soaking) process conditions were examined. Urease inhibitory activity of DIS aloes ranged from 84.6 to 94.4%, which was similar to or higher than 86.3% of fresh aloe. Also, urease inhibitory activity of DIS aloes was maintained at initial levels after heat treatment (90$^{\circ}C$, 10 min.) and drying treatment (freeze or hot air drying). Urease inhibition pattern from Lineweaver-Burk plot indicated general non-competitive inhibition, and inhibition constants ($K_{IE}$ and $K_{IES}$) of DIS aloes were 41-149 and 87-163 $\mu$L/mL, respectively. DIS(glucose) and DIS(polyethylene glycol) exhibited the highest retarding effect of glucose and bile acid. Their retarding effects were about 1.6 and 1.8 folds higher than that of fresh aloe after 0.5 and 1 hr of the dialysis, respectively. Conclusively, the above in vitro physiological functions of Aloe vera gel concentrated by DIS process suggested that aloe products treated with DIS would have the potential benefits for protection against Helicobacter pylori and reduction of blood glucose and cholesterol levels.

Jack bean [Canavalia ensiformis (L.)], belonging to the Leguminosae family has been frequently used in edible and medicinal plants in Asian countries. Jack beans are high in protein which is approximately 30%. Concanavalin A (Con A) is a major protein of Jack bean and belongs to the family of legume lectins. It has inhibitory effect on hepatocellular carcinoma by inducing autophagy. However, Con A negatively affects nutrient utilization by other mechanisms. It binds to the glycoproteins and glycolipids of the digestive tract mucosa, inhibits the activity of the enzymes of the brush border of the enterocytes. In order to use Jack bean young seedpods, they are restricted to 'young pods (soft, pre-swelling)' according to the 'Food Code' (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety). Therefore, in this study, we investigated the quantitative change of Con A across developmental stages of Jack bean pods. Biological samples consisted of Jack bean pods and seeds in 7 stages of development. The expression pattern of Con A mRNA was monitored by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). Expression of Con A proteins was analyzed by western blotting. The expression of Con A mRNA and protein in the seeds tended to increase gradually as the seeds expanded. However, in pods, they were much less than in seeds. As the expression of Con A mRNA and protein increases as the pods thicken, it is predicted that Con A synthesis increases when the thickness growth of the pod begins after the length growth of the pod is completed. Since the expression of Con A in the pods and seeds in very low when the pods are about 2 cm, therefore 2 cm pods seem appropriate when using 'young pods'. It is also necessary to study other proteins in Jack bean, such as Urease and Canavalin. These studies will serve as the basis for processing Jack bean.

Since toxic Alexandrium catenella and non-toxic A. fraterculus are morphologically similar, they are difficult to discriminate under the light microscope. However, a novel technology, such as fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated lectin probes enables easy and rapid differentiation. Toxic A. catenella bound seven different lectins, whereas the non-toxic A. fratercuzus did not bind Arachis hypogaea (PNA) lectin. In addition, Pseudo-nitrschia species in this study were also difficult to identify to species level with light microscope techniques, but it was possible to classify them using fluorescent lectins. Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata, P. subfraudulenta and P. pungens bound Canavalia ensiformis (ConA), whereas P. subpaclfica did not, and P. pungens also bound Ricinus communis (RCA). These results imply that lectin could be used as a critical tool in the differentiation of P. multistriata, P. subfraudulenta and P. pungens. However, P. subpacifica was not differentiated by the lectins tested. Therefore, it isconcluded that lectin probes are useful for discriminating toxic A. catenella from non-toxic A. fraterculus, and for the identification of some Pseudo-nitzschia species. In addition, this method has a great potential to speed and detection between non-toxic and toxic harmful algal blooms (HABs) in Korean biotoxin monitoring systems.
