This study was carried out through questionnaire in order to investigate the self-recognized monosodium glutamate (MSG) symptom complex in the eating out of housewives. The subjects were 503 housewives in Inchon and the results are summarized as follows. As for age, 51.9% of subjects were over 40 years old. Also 60.0% of the subjects received a high school education. As for occupation, full-time housewives accounted for 63.7%. Monthly household income of most subjects were 1 million won or more, and monthly food expenses for most subjects were over 300 thousand won or more. Also 71.0% of the subjects lived in apartments. As for frequency of eating out, 69.5% of subjects ate out I~2 times a month, 21.6% did 3~4 times a month, 4.5% did 7 times or more/month and 3.6% did 5~6 times a month. The higher education level, family income or food expense of subjects were, the more they ate out. Most subjects selected the menu of eating out according to preference of family. Also 63.6% of the subjects considered the amount of MSG in eating out. As for menus containing high amount of MSG, 55.8% of subject answered Korean dishes, 31.1% did Chinese dishes. After eating out, 25.1% of subjects perceived MSG symptom complex, such as thirst, tiredness and rapid heart beat, etc. Therefore, it may be necessary to reduce the amount of MSG in eating out and to develop safe and delicious menus of eating out using various natural foods.

글루타민산 나트륨(MSG)의 열안정성을 조사하기 위하여 가열온도 및 pH를 변화시키면서 가열 중 MSG의 분해정도를 비교하였다. 가열온도와 pH의 범위는 각각 $100{\sim}120^{\circ},\;4{\sim}9C$로 하였고, MSG는 2% 용액으로 만들었으며 가열 중 잔류 MSG 농도를 HPLC로 측정하였다. 그 결과 pH 4와 $120^{\circ}C$의 3시간 가열로 약 73% MSG가 감소한 반면, $100^{\circ}C$에서의 3시간 가열은 12% 정도만이 감소함을 보였다. 가열온도와 pH에 따른 초기 MSG의 분해속도와 분해 속도상수{(%MSG/log(hrs)}를 비교한 결과 $110^{\circ}C$와 $120^{\circ}C$에서의 초기 분해속도는 pH 4가 가장 빨랐으며 분해 속도상수도 상당히 높은 값을 보였다. 분해가 가장 적었던 pH 범위는 $pH6{\sim}8$ 범위였다. 또한 가열온도에 영향을 가장 많이 받았던 pH 4와 pH 5의 MSG 열분해 속도상수와 1/T의 관계에서 계산된 활성화에너지는 각각 18.3 kcal/mole과 9.2 kcal/mole이었다.

새송이 버섯 (Pleurotus eryngii) 재배배지에 글루탐산나트륨 (monosodium glutamate, MSG)을 혼합 첨가하여 재배한 자실체의 아미노산 및 $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid (GABA)함량 변화, 그리고 항산화 작용 등의 생리활성을 분석하여 새송이버섯의 기능성 향상 가능 여부를 조사하였다. 실험결과 MSG 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 arginine, glutamic acid, alanine, glycine 등 아미노산은 함량이 증가되었으며 histidine, serine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine 등은 함량 변화는 거의 없었다. 한편 MSG 첨가량을 증가시킴에 따라 자실체의 GABA함량은 전체적으로 증가되었으며 MSG 6 g/bottle 첨가군에서 자실체내에 가장 높은 GABA함량 (1.18 mg/g)을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 배지에 MSG첨가량을 증가시킴에 따라 자실체 추출물의 DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical 소거능 및 아질산염 소거능 (nitrite scavenging activity)도 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로부터 새송이버섯을 재배할 때 배지에 소량의 저렴한 MSG (~US $1/kg)를 첨가하면 아미노산 조성 및 항산화 작용 등 생리활성이 개선되는 고 기능성 새송이버섯 식품소재가 개발될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was designed to determine the effect of monosodium glutamate (MSG) on in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes and early development of parthenogenesis (PA) embryos in pigs. Each IVM and IVC medium was supplemented with various concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.5 and 5 mM) of MSG and non-essential amino acids (NEAA) depending on the experimental design. Immature pig oocytes were matured for 44 h and then oocytes reached metaphase II (MII) stage were electrically activated to induce parthenogenesis (PA). When immature oocytes were treated with MSG in the absence of NEAA during IVM, nuclear maturation (83.1-87.1%), intra-oocyte glutathione content, cumulus expansion, and cleavage (91.4-93.4%) of PA embryos were not influenced by MSG treatment at all concentrations. However, blastocyst formation of PA embryos was significantly increased by 5.0 mM MSG ($45.3{\pm}6.2%$) compared to control ($25.6{\pm}3.4%$). MSG treatment during IVM in the presence of NEAA did not show significant effect on nuclear maturation of oocytes and blastocyst formation after PA while 0.5 mM MSG ($89.3{\pm}1.9%$) decreased (P < 0.05) cleavage of PA embryos compared to 0.1 mM MSG ($94.6{\pm}1.1%$). When PA embryos were treated for 7 days with MSG during IVC, 5.0 mM MSG significantly decreased blastocyst formation ($27.8{\pm}4.9%$) compared to no treatment ($41.4{\pm}1.9%$) while no decrease in blastocyst formation was observed in 0.1 and 0.5 mM ($37.4{\pm}3.4%$ and $34.4{\pm}2.6%$, respectively). Our results demonstrated that 5 mM MSG in a NEAA-free chemically defined maturation medium showed positive effect on PA embryonic development while 5 mM MSG treatment during IVC was deleterious to PA embryonic development in pigs.

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is the primary endocrine system to respond to stress. The HPA axis may be affected by increased level of corticotrophin-releasing factors under chronic stress and by chronic administration of monosodium glutamate (MSG). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether chronic MSG administration aggravates chronic variable stress (CVS)-induced behavioral and hormonal changes. Twenty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200~220 g, were divided into 4 groups as follows: water administration (CON), MSG (3 g/kg) administration (MSG), CVS, and CVS with MSG (3 g/kg) administration (CVS＋MSG). In addition, for the purpose of comparing the effect on plasma corticosterone levels between chronic stress and daily care or acute stress, 2 groups were added at the end of the experiment; the 2 new groups were as follows: naive mice (n=7) and mice exposed to restraint stress for 2 h just before decapitation (A-Str, n=7). In an open field test performed after the experiment, the CVS＋MSG group significant decrease in activity. The increase in relative adrenal weights in the CVS and CVS＋MSG group was significantly greater than those in the CON and/or MSG groups. In spite of the increase in the relative adrenal weight, there was a significant decrease in the plasma corticosterone levels in the CVS＋MSG group as compared to all other groups, except the naive group. These results suggest that impaired HPA axis function as well as the decrease in the behavioral activity in adult rats can be induced by chronic MSG administration under CVS rather than CVS alone.

This research was conducted to examine the awareness and preference levels related to MSG (monosodium glutamate) according to well-being dietary life pursuit attitude factors as well as to improve opportunities to meet value conscious consumption of well-being-oriented customers. According to well-being dietary life pursuit attitude factors, respondents were divided to three clusters, indifference type, well-being-oriented type, and active health action type. Sensory evaluations were carried out on soybean paste soup (Doenjang-guk) and seasoned spinach with different levels of MSG. In the results, 74.4% of all respondents preferred Doenjang soup with 2% MSG, 65.4% preferred seasoned spinach with the same ratio of MSG, and 35.9% preferred seasoned spinach with 0.5% MSG. Regarding the acceptance level of MSG, addition of MSG to improve taste was acceptable to the indifference type (cluster 1). On the contrary, active health action type did not prefer MSG, wanted natural seasonings despite high prices, and preferred to dine at restaurants that serve MSG-free foods. Based on this study, restaurant companies should segment their customers on the basis of MSG usage and establish their positioning strategies according to their concepts.

김치로부터 분리한 유산균 Lactobacillus sakei OPK2-59는 ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) 생성능력과 glutamate decarboxylase(GAD) 활성을 보유하고 있음이 확인되었다. Lactobacillus sakei OPK2-59를 59.13 mM과 177.40 mM monosodium glutamate (MSG)가 함유된 MRS 배지에서 배양하면 균주의 성장을 위한 최적 온도범위와 pH는 각각 $25-37^{\circ}C$와 6.5였다. 59.13 mM과 177.40 mM MSG 함유 MRS 배지에서 배양온도 $25^{\circ}C$ 조건에서, 48시간 배양하였을 경우 MSG의 GABA 전환율은 각각 99.58%와 31.00%였다. 또한 Lactobacillus sakei OPK2-59 세포추출액을 이용하여 MSG를 GABA로 전환할 수 있었으며, 추출물에 의한 GABA 전환율은 $30^{\circ}C$, pH 5 조건에서 78.51%로 가장 높았다. 세포추출액에 의한 MSG의 GABA 전환에 미치는 무기염의 영향을 조사한 결과 $CaCl_2$, $FeCl_3$, $MgCl_2$를 첨가한 반응액에서 염을 넣지 않고 반응한 control보다 GABA 전환율이 2-3배 증진되는 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 결과들은 김치 유산균 Lactobacillus sakei OPK2-59의 GABA 생성능은 유산균 세포 내에 존재하는 GAD에 의한 것이며, GAD에 의한 GABA 전환율은 무기염에 의하여 증진될 수 있음을 제안해 주는 것이다.

The feasibility of reduction of sodium intake using sun-dried salt and monosodium glutamate (MSG) was studied. Preference test was performed to evaluate the sensory properties of bean-sprout soup and vegetable rice porridge soup. Sun-dried salt and MSG might be a partial substitute for refined salt. There was a significant difference in salt taste strength between sun-dried salt and refined salt. Sun-dried salts 0.45% with MSG 0.07% resulted in the highest taste preference compared to that of sun-dried salts 0.60% without MSG in bean-sprout soup, which resulted in 23.9% reduction of sodium intake. Sun-dried salts 0.38% with MSG 0.04% resulted in the highest taste preference compared to sun-dried salts 0.53% without MSG in vegetable rice porridge soup, which resulted in 25.4% reduction of sodium intake. There seemed to be a synergistic effect on reduced usage of sodium salt when MSG was used in vegetable rice porridge and bean-sprout soup with sun-dried salt.

In early 1956, MSG (monosodium glutamate) had been produced by hydrolysis of the vegetable proteins in Korea. In accordance with development of fermentation technology mainly led by the Japanese scientists, its major production method has been changed to microbial fermentation since 1962. Meanwhile, 5'-ribonucleotides which are nucleic acid-related condiments have been produced by the enzymic hydrolysis of yeast RNA and/or the direct fermentation by Miwon Co. and Cheil sugar Co., respectively since 1977. At the technological viewpoints, Korean fermentation level seems relatively highly-reputated over the world in terms of production yield and unit-consumption level. For further progress of technology, our emphasis on this research area should be laid on both improvement of bacterial strain by means of modern biotechnology and process development through the immobilization and/or computerized control technics, etc.

GABA $(\gamma-aminobutyric\;acid)$ is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. For the efficient production of GAB A, a semi continuous cell entrapment system using Lactobacillus brevis GABA 057 was optimized, including the substrate concentration, bead-stabilizing additives, and reaction conditions. The converted monosodium glutamate (MSG), which was added as a substrate for glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), increased from 2% (w/v) to 12% (w/v). The addition of isomaltooligosaccharide to the alginate beads also increased the stability of the entrapped L. brevis and GABA productivity. Consequently, when optimal conditions were applied, up to 223 mM GABA could be produced from 534 mM MSG after 48 h of reaction by using alginate-beadencapsulated L. brevis GABA 057.
