The purpose of this research was to study the effect of freeze drying on the microorganisms in kefir. Influences of lyoprotectants and rehydrated media (water at $4^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$; 10% reconstituted milk at $4^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$) on the viability of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts in freeze-dried kefir were investigated. Kefir was made from cow milk which was inoculated with 5% kefir grains, and incubated at $20^{\circ}C$ for 20 h. Lyoprotectants (galactose, lactose, maltose, sucrose and trehalose) were added independently before dehydration of kefir by freeze drying. Results indicated significant loss in viability of microorganisms in kefir after freeze-drying. Addition of 10% galactose or 10% sucrose as lyoprotectants significantly increased the survival rates of both lactic acid bacteria and yeasts (p<0.05). The $4^{\circ}C$ rehydration temperature showed the best viabilities for yeasts, however, viability was not significantly affected by rehydration media (p>0.05).

The objective of this research was to create a new probiotic candy with good flavor and healthy benefits by using the response surface method and a sequential quadratic programming technique. The endpoint was to increase the varieties of dairy products and enhance their market values. In this study, milk was mixed with yogurt cultures (Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus) and probiotics (L. paracasei, Bifidobacterium longum) and incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 20 h. The samples were blended with lyoprotectants (galactose, skim milk powder and sucrose), freeze dried and then mixed with sweeteners (lactose and xylitol) to improve the texture for forming tablets. The processing conditions were optimized in two steps: the first step constructed a surface model using response surface methodology; the second step optimized the model with a sequential quadratic programming procedure. Results indicated that skim milk inoculated with L. delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus, S. thermophilus, L. paracasei subsp. paracasei and B. longum and blended with 6.9% of galactose, 7.0% of sucrose and 8.0% of skim milk powder would produce a new probiotic candy with the highest viability of probiotics and good flavor. A relatively higher survival of probiotics can be achieved by placing the probiotic candy product in a glass bottle with deoxidant and desiccant at $4^{\circ}C$. These probiotic counts remained at 106-108 CFU/g after being stored for two months.

유기용매상에서 Bacillus licheniformis에서 생산되는 protease를 이용하여 라세믹 ${\alpha}$-methylbenzy lamine의 광학분함을 행하였다. 이 반응은 아설 제 공자로 활성 에스대르를 샤용하여 라서l믹 아민을 광 학선택적으로 아마드로 변환시킨다. 이 반응의 반응 속도와 광학선택성을 증가시켜주기 위해 효소를 완 충액에 녹여 pH를 맞춘 후에 동결건조시키거나, 동결건조시 염이나 lyoprotectants를 첨가시키는 방 법, 적당한 유기용매의 선정, 에스테르 구조의 디자 인 등의 방법을 사용하였다. 그 결과. 30배의 초기 반응속도의 증가 및 12배의 광학선택성이 증가하는 결과를 보였다.

위치특이적 돌연변이 기술을 이용하여 활성을 향상시킨 Mugil cephalus 유래 에폭사이드 가수분해효소(epoxide hydrolase, McEH)를 발현하는 재조합 대장균 균주를 생촉매로 이용하여 유기용매상에서 라세믹 스틸렌 옥사이드(styrene oxide)에 대한 입체선택적 가수분해 반응을 수행하였다. 재조합 균주의 세포 성장 시간대별로 McEH 단백질의 발현유도 특성을 분석하였으며, 대수성장기에 IPTG를 첨가했을 때 생촉매 활성이 2.2배 향상되었다. 유기용매의 Log P 값이 증가할수록 생촉매의 입체선택적 가수분해 활성이 증가하였으며, 이소옥탄(isooctane)을 반응용매로 사용하였을 때 생촉매의 입체선택적 가수분해 활성이 가장 우수하였다. 동결건조과정에서 skim milk 또는 sucrose와 같은 lyoprotectant를 사용하여 활성 안정화를 시킨 재조합 대장균 생촉매를 사용하여 이소옥탄에서 20 mM 라세믹 스틸렌 옥사이드에 대하여 광학순도 98%의 (S)-스틸렌 옥사이드를 이론수율 대비 53.6%로 제조할 수 있었다.

The probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus KBL409 was encapsulated with alginate (Al) and alginate-chitosan (Al/Chi) through extrusion method. The sizes and zeta potentials of microspheres were measured to confirm encapsulation. To evaluate the protective effect of microspheres against gastrointestinal fluids, all the samples were exposed to simulated gastric fluids (SGFs, pH 1.5) at $37^{\circ}C$ for 1 or 2 h, followed by incubation with simulated intestinal fluids (SIFs, pH 6.5) for 2 h. The mucoadhesive ability of microspheres was evaluated using the intestinal epithelial cell line HT29-MTX. To extend the shelf-life of probiotics, lyoprotectants such as disaccharide and polysaccharide were mixed with free or encapsulated cells during the freeze-drying process. The size of the microspheres demonstrated a narrow distribution, while the zeta potentials of Al and Al/Chi-microspheres were $-17.9{\pm}2.3$ and $20.4{\pm}2.6mV$, respectively. Among all the samples, Al/Chi-encapsulated cells showed the highest survival rate even after exposure to SGF and SIF. The mucoadhesive abilities of Al and Al/Chi-microspheres were higher than 94%, whereas the free L. acidophilus showed 88.1% mucoadhesion. Ten percent of sucrose showed over 80% survival rate in free or encapsulated cells. Therefore, L. acidophilus encapsulated with Al and Al/Chi-microspheres showed higher survival rates after exposure to the gastrointestinal tract and better mucoadhesive abilities than the free cells. Also, sucrose showed the highest protective effect of L. acidophilus during the freeze-drying process.
