Starch was isolated from turnip (Brassica rapa L.), and to elucidate the structure-function relationship its structural and physical properties were characterized. Morphological structure of the starch was analyzed by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). Most of the starch granules were spherical in shape with diameter ranging from 0.5-10mm. Apart from larger granules ($<10\;{\mu}m$) which dominated the population size of turnip starch, significant amount of small ($0.5-2\;{\mu}m$) and mid-size granules (${\sim}\;{\mu}m$) were also detected. It was revealed that presumably, erosion damages occurred due to the attack of amylase-type enzymes on the surface of some granules. Branch chain-length distribution was analyzed by HPAEC (High-Performance Anion-Exchange Chromatography). The chain-length distribution of turnip starch revealed a peak at DP12 with obvious shoulder at DP18-21. The weight-average chain length ($CL_{avg}$) was 16.6, and a large proportion (11.8%) of very short chains (DP6-9) was also observed. The melting properties of starch were determined by DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry). The onset temperature ($T_o$) and the enthalpy change (${\Delta}H$) of starch gelatinization were $50.5^{\circ}C$ and 12.5 J/g, respectively. The ${\Delta}H$ of the retrograded turnip starch was 3.5 J/g, which indicates 28.2% of recrystallization. Larger proportion of short chains as well as smaller average chain-length can very well explain relatively lower degree of retrogradation in turnip starch.

밥의 식미가 다른 일반계와 통일계 쌀을 대상으로 아밀로펙틴과 그 베타-한계덱스트린의 분자구조적 특성을 조사하고 밥의 텍스쳐와의 관련성을 검토하였다. 쌀 전분의 아밀로펙틴 분자구조는, 아밀로펙틴과 베타-한계 덱스트린의 사슬분포로 보아, $\overline{DP}$ 12.4의 A 사슬, $\overline{DP}$ 20.6의 짧은 B 사슬, $\overline{DP}$ 26.3의 중간 B 사슬, $\overline{DP}$ 45의 긴 B 사슬과 $\overline{DP}$ 55 이상의 초장쇄로 이루어진 polymodal이었다. 아밀로펙틴의 초장쇄는 긴 직쇄를 가진 사슬로서 아밀로펙틴의 평균 사슬길이, 고유점도, 베타-아밀라아제 분해한도와 정의 상관을 보이나 요오드 복합체의 최대흡수파장과는 부의 상관을 보였다. 아밀로펙틴과 베타-한계 덱스트린의 분자구조적 성질은 일반계와 통일계 쌀 시료간 차이를 보였다. 아밀로펙틴의 A 사슬에 대한 B 사슬의 비율은 일반계가 통일계 보다 약간 높았으나 초장쇄의 분포 비율은 일반계가 통일계 보다 더 낮았다. 아밀로펙틴의 분자구조와 밥의 텍스쳐와의 관계에서, 고유점도, 베타-아밀라아제 분해한도와 사슬길이 그러고 초장쇄는 밥의 경도와 정의 상관을, 부착성과는 부의 상관을 보였다. 따라서 밥의 식감은 아밀로펙틴의 긴 사슬이 적고 짧은 사슬이 많이 분포할 수록, 밥의 경도가 낮고 부착성이 높았다. 이러한 결과는 아밀로펙틴의 분자구조가 밥의 텍스쳐와 밀접한 관계가 없음을 나타내고 있다.

Animals are one of the important memberships of the food chain. The low-efficiency rule of nutrient transfer from one member to the next in the food chain determines the low efficiency of animal agriculture for human food. On the average, about 20% feed proteins and 15% feed energy can be converted into edible nutrients for humans. The rest proportion of feed nutrients is exposed to the environment. Environmental pollution, therefore, is inevitable as animal agriculture grows intensively and extensively. The over-loading of the environment by nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus from animal manure results in soil and water spoilage. The emission of gases like $CH_2$, $CO_2$, $SO_2$, NO, $NO_2$ by animals are one of the contributors for the acidification of the environment and global warming. The inefficient utilization of natural resources and the probable unsafety of animal products to human health are also a critical environmental issue. Improving the conversion efficiency of nutrients in the food chain is the fundamental strategy for solving environmental issues. Specifically in animal agriculture, the strategy includes the improvements of animal genotypes, nutritional and feeding management, animal health, housing systems and waste disposal programs. Animal nutrition science plays a unique and irreplaceable role in the control of nutrient input and output in either products or wastes. Several nutritional methods are proved to be effective in alleviating environmental pollution. A lot of nutritional issues, however, remain to be further researched for the science of animal nutrition to be a strong helper for sustainability of animal agriculture.

일반적으로 여러 다양한 지방산들은 넓은 범위의 미생물들에 대해 항균활성을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 지방산의 구조에는 다양한 구조적 차이가 있음에도 불구하고 지방산의 구조적 차이에 따른 항균활성의 변화에 대해서는 많이 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구는 중쇄지방산들을 대상으로 카복실기의 숫자와 위치에 따른 항균활성의 차이를 잘 알려져 있는 식중독균들을 대상으로 조사하였다. 전반적으로 단일카복실기를 갖는 중쇄 지방산이 이중카복실기를 갖는 중쇄지방산에 비해 더 강한 항균활성을 나타내었지만 두 종류의 중쇄지방산 모두 일반 항생제들과 함께 사용될 경우 매우 높은 시너지 효과를 나타낸다는 사실이 추가적으로 확인되었다.

KU812F 세포는 세포표면에 $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$을 발현하고 있어, IgE를 매개로 한 알러지 반응에 있어 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. KU812F 세포를 이용하여, $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ ${\alpha}$ chain 발현에 있어 구절초 에탄올 추출물의 저해효과를 조사하였다. 본 연구 결과, $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ ${\alpha}$ chain의 세포표면 발현량 및 mRNA수준을 구절초 추출물이 감소시키는 것을 flow cytometry 및 RT-PCR로 각각 확인하였다. 또한, 구절초 추출물은 CRA-1 자극에 의한 히스타민 유리를 농도 의존적으로 억제시켰다. 이러한 결과는 구절초 추출물이 $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ ${\alpha}$ chain 발현을 감소시킴으로써, 히스타민 유리가 억제되고, 이를 통해 항알러지 활성에 기여하는 것으로 생각된다.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to investigate the thermal gelation properties and molecular forces of actomyosin extracted from two classes of chicken breast meat qualities (normal and pale, soft and exudative [PSE]-like) during heating process to further improve the understanding of the variations of functional properties between normal and PSE-like chicken breast meat. Methods: Actomyosin was extracted from normal and PSE-like chicken breast meat and the gel strength, water-holding capacity (WHC), protein loss, particle size and distribution, dynamic rheology and protein thermal stability were determined, then turbidity, active sulfhydryl group contents, hydrophobicity and molecular forces during thermal-induced gelling formation were comparatively studied. Results: Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that protein profiles of actomyosin extracted from normal and PSE-like meat were not significantly different (p>0.05). Compared with normal actomyosin, PSE-like actomyosin had lower gel strength, WHC, particle size, less protein content involved in thermal gelation forming (p<0.05), and reduced onset temperature ($T_o$), thermal transition temperature ($T_d$), storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G"). The turbidity, reactive sulfhydryl group of PSE-like actomyosin were higher when heated from $40^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$. Further heating to $80^{\circ}C$ had lower transition from reactive sulfhydryl group into a disulfide bond and surface hydrophobicity. Molecular forces showed that hydrophobic interaction was the main force for heat-induced gel formation while both ionic and hydrogen bonds were different significantly between normal and PSE-like actomyosin (p<0.05). Conclusion: These changes in chemical groups and inter-molecular bonds affected protein-protein interaction and protein-water interaction and contributed to the inferior thermal gelation properties of PSE-like meat.
