His-His-Leu (HHL), a tripeptide derived from a Korean soybean paste, is an angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. We report here a method of producing this tripeptide efficiently by expressing tandem multimers of the codons encoding the peptide in E. coli and purifying the HHL after hydrolysis of the peptide multimers. The HHL gene, tandemly multimerized to a 40-mer, was ligated with ubiquitin as a fusion gene (UH40). UH40 was inserted into vector pET29b; the UH40 fusion protein was then produced in E. coli BL21. The recombinant UH40 protein was purified by cation-exchange chromatography with a yield of 17.3mg/l and analyzed by matrixassisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry and protein N-terminal sequencing. Leucine aminopeptidase was used to cleave a 405-Da HHL monomer from the UH40 fusion protein and the peptide was purified using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a C18 HPLC column, with a final yield of 6.2mg/l. The resulting peptide was confirmed to be HHL with the aid of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, glutamine-TOF mass spectrometry, N-terminal sequencing, and measurement of ACE inhibiting activity. These results suggest that our production method is useful for obtaining a large quantity of recombinant HHL for functional antihypertensive peptide studies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dietary intakes of preschool children in rural areas and to develop programs of nutrition education, offering the mothers an appropriate advice for the improvement of the dietary practices corresponding to the modernization of the agriculture. The daily food intakes of 118 preschool children, randomly selected from the farm household, were studied by means of three-day records during summer season of 1972. The results showed that the dietary intakes of food groups such as meats and fishes, beans and the products, milks and small fishes, fruits, fats and oils were below 50 per cent of the recommended level-especially in that of milk. Therefore, the diet was generally below the recommended dietary allowances for protein with good quality, fat, calcium, vitamin A, thiamine, reboflavin and ascorbic acid. The dietary data revealed that most of preschool children in rural areas consumed rice and barley, almost every day. Other foods eaten less frequently were soybean paste, gimchi, potatoes, flour, and summer squash. The use of cereals should be curtailed some what and the use of milks, fishes, poultry, meats and protein extenders should be increased.

In this study, we compared diet related attributes such as food taste preference, food consumption frequency and nutrition intake between elderly residents in their 80's of areas in Jeollanam-do that are well known for longevity and those of a part of Seoul. Structured in-depth interviews were conducted by trained interviewers on 125 consented subjects (67 Jeonnam and 58 Seoul). Differences of groups were tested using Chi-square tests for nominal or ordinal data and t-tests and ANOVA tests for ratio data. The elderly from Jeonnam tended to sleep longer, express emotion more freely, and interact with others more often than those from Seoul. The elderly tended to prefer sweet or salty tastes, which might be highly related to serious health problems. The most frequently consumed foods were napa cabbage kimchi (2.19 times/day) and multigrain rice (1.99 times/day). Elderly from Jeonnam tended to consume garlic, milk, beans and roasted barley/corn teas less often; whereas, they consumed porridge, dried radish greens, potato, fermented fish, dried fish, pork rib, pork belly, soybean paste soup, soybean paste/Ssamjang, other kimchis, pickled vegetables, snacks, cookies, and green/black teas more often than elderly residents from Seoul. Differences in nutrition intake between the regions were greater than differences between the perceived levels of household economic status. NAR and INQ for folate were lower among elderly from Jeonnam than those from Seoul, while those for protein, vitamin C, niacin, vitamin $B_6$ were higher. The study results indicated that elderly from Jeonnam engaged in a more diverse diet than the elderly from Seoul.

Dressing is a seasoned mixture usually used as a stuffing in food. Quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of fruit dressing using lentil legume were investigated. The four groups were divided into D-1(fruit dressing purchased from the local market in Deagu, Korea), D-2 (grapefruit-sugaring dressing prepared with grapefruit sugaring and lentil legume paste), D-3 (vinegar dressing purchased from the local market in Deagu, Korea), D-4 (pineapple-vinegar dressing prepared with pineapple vinegar and lentil legume paste), and then they were analyzed with regard to general compositions, Hunter's color value, mineral and free amino acid content and antioxidant activities. The pH and titratable acidity in all samples ranged from 2.9 to 4.6 and from 0.6 to 1.2%, respectively. The crude protein content were 2.29% for D-2 dressing and 4.03 for D-4 sample, while were not detected D-1 and D-3 samples. In case of Hunter's value, The ' L'and 'a' values of all samples ranged from 45.98 to 56.54 and from -1.59 to 3.30, respectively. The D-4 sample exhibited the higher levels of Ca (215.40 mg/kg), K (1,105.83 mg/kg), Mg (233.63 mg/kg) and Fe (13.78 mg/kg). The levels of heavy metals (As, Pb, Cd and Hg) in all samples were not detected. The contents of total amino acid in D-3 and D-4 samples were 8.269 and 3.419 mg/mL, respectively. The highest contents of total phenols($191.13{\mu}g\;GAE/mL$) and DPPH radical scavenging activity(93.69%, Inhibition) were observed in D-4 sample.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Doenjang, Korean traditional fermented soybean paste has been reported to have an anti-obesity effect. Because adipose tissue is considered a major source of inflammatory signals, we investigated the protective effects of Doenjang and steamed soybean on oxidative stress and inflammation in adipose tissue of diet-induced obese mice. MATERIALS/METHODS: Male C57BL/6J mice were fed a low fat diet (LF), a high-fat diet (HF), or a high-fat containing Doenjang diet (DJ) or a high-fat containing steamed soybean diet (SS) for 11 weeks. RESULTS: Mice fed a DJ diet showed significantly lower body and adipose tissue weights than those in the HF group. Although no significant differences in adipocyte size and number were observed among the HF diet-fed groups, consumption of Doenjang alleviated the incidence of crown-like structures in adipose tissue. Consistently, we observed significantly reduced mRNA levels of oxidative stress markers (heme oxygenase-1 and $p40^{phox}$), pro-inflammatory adipokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha and macrophage chemoattractant protein-1), macrophage markers (CD68 and CD11c), and a fibrosis marker (transforming growth factor beta 1) by Doenjang consumption. Gene expression of anti-inflammatory adipokine, adiponectin was significantly induced in the DJ group and the SS group compared to the HF group. The anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects observed in mice fed an SS diet were not as effective as those in mice fed a DJ diet, suggesting that the bioactive compounds produced during fermentation and aging may be involved in the observed health-beneficial effects of Doenjang. CONCLUSIONS: Doenjang alleviated oxidative stress and restored the dysregulated expression of adipokine genes caused by excess adiposity. Therefore, Doenjang may ameliorate systemic inflammation and oxidative stress in obesity via inhibition of inflammatory signals of adipose tissue.

농후 고추장-물 현탁액의 리올로지 거동을 검토하였다. 리올로지 거동은 Herschel-Bulkley식에 적합하였다. 가수량 12.5-100%의 모든 고추장 현탁액은 전단속도 $0.25-179.20sec^{-1}$에서 항복응력을 갖는 의가소성을 보였으며, 전단속도 $5.16sec^{-1}$ 이상에서는 전단속도가 증가함에 따라 의가소성이 더욱 증가함을 보였다. 또, 이들 의가소성은 가수량의 증가 및 측정온도의 감소로 더욱 약해졌다. 고추장 현탁액의 점조도지수에 대한 온도의존성은 매우 낮았으며 점조도지수 값은 고형분함량의 증가로 낮아졌으나 가열로 증가되었다. 고온에서의 리올로지 거동에 대한 주요인 성분은 발효 중의 미분해 전분 또는 단백질인 것으로 추정되었으며, 식초첨가에 의한 리올로지 거동의 변화는 단지 희석효과에 기인하였다.

Natural antimicrobial substances are needed as alternatives to synthetic antimicrobials to protect against foodborne pathogens. In this study, a bacteriocin-producing bacterium, Bacillus subtilis HD15, was isolated from doenjang, a traditional Korean fermented soybean paste. We sequenced the complete genome of B. subtilis HD15. This genome size was 4,173,431 bp with a G + C content of of 43.58%, 4,305 genes, and 4,222 protein-coding genes with predicted functions, including a subtilosin A gene cluster. The bacteriocin was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, Diethylaminoethanol-Sepharose chromatography, and Sephacryl gel filtration, with 12.4-fold purification and 26.2% yield, respectively. The purified protein had a molecular weight of 3.6 kDa. The N-terminal amino acid sequence showed the highest similarity to Bacillus subtilis 168 subtilosin A (78%) but only 68% similarity to B. tequilensis subtilosin proteins, indicating that the antimicrobial substance isolated from B. subtilis HD15 is a novel bacteriocin related to subtilosin A. The purified protein from B. subtilis HD15 exhibited high antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus cereus. It showed stable activity in the range 0-70℃ and pH 2-10 and was completely inhibited by protease, proteinase K, and pronase E treatment, suggesting that it is a proteinaceous substance. These findings support the potential industrial applications of the novel bacteriocin purified from B. subtilis HD15.
