Efficient cellulolytic enzyme production is important for the development of lignocellulose-degrading enzyme mixtures. However, purification of cellulases from their native hosts is time- and labor-consuming. In this study, a constitutive expression system was developed in Penicillium oxalicum for the secreted production of proteins. Using a constitutive polyubiquitin gene promoter and cultivating with glucose as the sole carbon source, nine cellulolytic enzymes of different origins with relatively high purity were produced within 48 h. When supplemented to a commercial cellulase preparation, cellobiohydrolase I from P. funiculosum and cellobiohydrolase II from Talaromyces verruculosus showed remarkable enhancing effects on the hydrolysis of steam-exploded corn stover. Additionally, a synergistic effect was observed for these two cellobiohydrolases during the hydrolysis. Taken together, the constitutive expression system provides a convenient tool for the production of cellulolytic enzymes, which is expected to be useful in the development of highly efficient lignocellulose-degrading enzyme mixtures.

This study aimed to evaluate the biological potential of functional food, i.e., specific peptides obtained from the hydrolysis of milk protein, by assessing their antioxidant and antibacterial properties. For the preparation of casein hydrolysates, commercial enzymes were added to 10% casein solution in a 1:200 (w/v) ratio, and samples were collected each hour. Based on the assessment of the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of casein hydrolysates, it was observed that the concentration of all enzymatic hydrolysates increased rapidly from 30 to 40 minutes. However, no change was observed in their concentrations after 150 minutes. Protamex® and Neutrase® exhibited the highest DH when compared to other enzymes. Furthermore, SDS-PAGE was performed for analyzing the proteolytic pattern of each enzyme, except for Flavourzyme®, and peptides in the size range of 20-25 kDa were identified. Subsequently, peptides produced by two enzymes were isolated using a preparative liquid chromatography system. Overall, NF3, NF4, PF5, and PF6 showed higher antioxidant potential than other peptide fractions. Moreover, NF7 and PF3 exhibited the highest antibacterial activity. In this study, we evaluated the biological potential of novel casein-derived peptides that may find application in the food and healthcare industry.

Textile wet-processing industry usually five rise to environmental pollution problems caused by using chemical substance. The objective of this study is to apply enzymes for wool and reduce the environmental problems. Three commercial protein degradation enzymes and a cellulose degradation enzyme as a reference were treated to prevent the shrinkage of wool fabric on laundering. Shrink resistant effects used change with the kinds of enzyme, the amount of enzyme, assistant chemicals, and the pre-treatment condition of wool fabric. When pre-treated with corona before enzyme treatment under ultrasonic condition, the weight loss was increased and strength was decreased and elongation was increased. Both corona pre-treatment and the addition of $Na_2SO_4$ also decreased shrinkage of wool fabrics on laundering. The existence of assistant chemicals increased alkali solubility of wool fabrics.

Thousand actinomycetes and 50 soil samples were used for the isolation of microorganisms producing yeast cell wall lytic enzymes. Among 493 strains producing large clear zones on autolysed washed yeast (AWY), 117 strains were selected on living yeast cell agar plates. With the method of lytic activity, one strain (St-1702) was selected, which was temporarily identified as Streptomyces eurythermus. The optimal condition for enzyme production of this strain was partially determined as follows: incubation of the strain for 3 days at 30$\circ$C in the medium containing 2% freeze dried yeast cell, 1% glucose, 1% K$_{2}$HPO$_{4}$, 0.01% MgSO$_{4}$'7H$_{2}$O, 0.5% peptone, and 0.2% (NH$_{4}$)$_{2}$CO$_{3}$ with pH 7.0. The protoplast formation of yeast by using the enzyme produced by this strain was compared with commercial enzymes.

Various treatments of naked barley with commercial liquefying enzymes have been emploved to reduce high viscosity of naked barley in cooking as a raw material for alcohol production and to increase alcohol yield. The enzyme BAN used for cooking and liquefaction of naked barley was able to make a reduction of one third of viscosity and to enhance alcohol yield of 4 l/Ton of raw material than the T120L was. Of course, alcohol yield depended in part on the applied saccharifying enzymes. The low temperature cooking of naked barley with BAN was favorable compared with high temperature cooking for both of reducing viscosity (210 vs. 237 cp) and final alcohol yield (Yp/so: 0.397 vs. 0.395 g/g) in industrial scale.

In pulp and papermaking process, enzymatic treatment of pulp fibres has been a topic of increasing interest in last decade. Lots of patents, papers and research reports were published on the application of enzymes in the fields of enzymatic bleaching, deinking, slime control, pitch control, waste water treatment and fibre modification. Cellulase and hemicellulase are the principal enzymes used for the modification of fibre property. This study was carried out for determinating the behaviors of enzyme to pulp fibres. A commercial enzyme, Denimax BT which is consisted with cellulase and hemicellulase, was treated to the kraft pulp produced from domestic hardwood mixtures. Results were mainly concentrated on the behaviors of freeness, drainability and fines content of fibres, and physical properties of paper with enzyme treatment. The freeness levels and dewatering ability were developed, and the fines contents were decreased. The creation of fines were controlled by the method of pre-enzyme treatment prior to fibre beating. The mechanical strength of paper, like tensile, burst, tear strength and folding endurance, were remarkably improved by the pre-enzyme treatment.

Deinking is a series of unit operations designed to detach ink from cellulose fibers and separate the dispersed ink from the pulp slurry. Deinking chemicals are process aids that enable expensive mill equipment used in these unit operations to operate more efficiently. This paper presents an overview of ONP deinking efficiency with cellulolytic enzymes and synthetic collector in low alkalinity process. The deinking efficiency of old news print even in low alkalinity condition was enhanced with enzyme contained complex agent. The brightness of deinked pulp was increased with less residual ink particles and yield of deinked pulp was improved compared to the deinked pulp of conventional alkaline method.

To study the characteristics and processing of Kochujang which is rapidly fermented by commercial enzymes, three kinds of Kochujang(KP-FA, KP-FN, and KP-BN) using commercial proteases and one Kochujang(KM) using Meju were prepared and their qualities investigated. There were only small differences in pH and acidity between each Kochujang. The moisture contents were high tendency in the three kinds of Kochujangs using the commercial proteases at 20 days of fermentation. Reducing sugars had a tendency to decrease during the fermentation in the Kochujangs using the proteases. During the first half of fermentation, the Kochujangs made with proteases showed higher amino nitrogen contents than the Kochujang(KM) made using Meju. Acidic protease activity was high in KP-FA at 20 days of fermentation and neutral protease activity was high in KP-FN and KP-BN at the beginning of fermentation. The Kochujangs made using the proteases, through 20 days of fermentation, obtained high preference in the sensory evaluation for color, texture, and overall acceptability. However, the hot taste was stronger in these Kochujangs during the fermentation.

시판 식혜에는 설탕과 프룩토오스, 글루코오스, 말토오스 및 여러 사이즈의 말토올리고당, 한계덱스트린이 함유되어 있다. 그 중 한계덱스트린은 0.09%, 밥알은 0.2%를 나타냈다. 1H-NMR 분석 결과, 한계덱스트린은 $\alpha$-1,4-결합 및 $\alpha$-1,6-결합이 15:1의 비율을 나타냈다. Pullulanase 처리로, 말토오스에서 글루코오스 10잔기 이상의 말토올리고당까지 다양한 분포를 나타냈다. 한계덱스트린은 여러 아미라아제 처리 결과, 전통식혜보다 가수분해율이 훨씬 높았다. $\alpha$-글루코시다아제와 타액 $\alpha$-아밀라아제를 공동 작용시킨 경우는 62% 가수분해되었다. 그러나, 밥알의 가수분해율이 매우 낮았다. 그래서 전통 식혜에 비해 한계덱스트린의 비피두스 인자로서의 효과는 적고, 밥알의 식이섬유 작용은 커졌다.

본 연구는 새로운 제초제 후보물질을 탐색하기 위하여 식물특이적 효소 저해제로 알려진 107개 기존 화합물에 대하여 생물활성을 조사하였다. Germination test, seedling assay, wheat leaf disc assay, cyanobacteria assay, whole plant assay를 통하여 15종의 저해제를 선발하였고 이들은 34종 효소를 저해하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이들 화합물 중에서 phenylhydrazine, purine, o-phenanthroline, oleylamine, 7,8-benzoquinoline, aminooxyacetic acid, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide 등은 성체를 이용한 온실 실험에서 높은 제초활성을 나타내었다. 7,8-benzoquinone, 8-hydroxyquinoline, 2,2'-dipyridyl 및 o-phenanthroline 등은 피, 벼, 토마토의 발아를 $1.25{\sim}5{\mu}M$의 농도에서도 억제하였다. 7,8-benzoquinoline, cyanuric fluoride, 4-methylpyrazole, tranylcypromine, oleylamine과 trifluoperazine 등은 $30{\sim}100{\mu}M$ 농도에서 cyanobacteria의 생육을 저해하였다. Dicyclohexyl carbodiimide와 chlorpromazine은 $100{\mu}M$ 농도에서 wheat leaf disc의 백화현상을 유기시켰다. 이상과 같이 생물학적 활성을 갖는 식물 특이적 효소저해제들은 신규제초제 후보물질을 선발하기 위한 새로운 대상효소로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
