  • Studies on the production of cell-wall bound innerpolysaccharides (IPS) (soluble ${\beta}$-D-glucan) have been performed by use of suspended myelial cultures of Inonotus obliquus. This product has promising potentials as an effective antidiabetic as well as an immunostimulating agents. As a first step to enhanced production of IPS, Intensive strain improvement programs were carried out by obtaining a large amounts of protoplasts for the isolation of single cell colonies. Rapid and large screening of high-yielding producers was possible because about fivefold higher amount of protoplasts ($2.3{\times}10^6$ protoplasts/mL) could be recovered with relatively high regeneration rates of $10^{-2}{\sim}10^{-3}$ by applying a modified filtration method, as compared to the previously used trapping method. A basic protocol necessary for UV-mutation of the protoplasts was also developed, resulting in several overproducing variants with good fermentation properties. Since the amount of IPS extracted from the mycelial cell walls of I. obliquus turned out to be almost constant per g DCW, increase in cell mass was considered the most important factor for the enhancement in IPS production. Therefore, attempts were made to screen mutant cells showing rapid mycelial growth rate in the final suspended cultures. Notably, the mutant strains showing an active cellgrowth in the preceding solid growth cultures were observed to produce higher amount of IPS in the suspended fermentations as well. A striking mutant, OBLQ756-15-5 strain, obtained from the survivors of a harsh UV-treated condition (97% death rate) was found to stably produce as high cell mass as 22 g DCW/L in the final fermentations. Currently, this strain is being tested for development of a scaled-up fermentation process for mass production of IPS.

  • Paenibacillus sp. JB-13 producing the cyclodextrin glucan-otransferase(CGTase) [EC 2.4.1.19] that glucosylated ascorbic acid(AA) at the C-2 position was isolated form soil and the optimal conditions for the production of 2-O-$\alpha$-D- Glucopyranosl L-Ascorbic acid(AA-2G) with CGTase were investigated. CGTase produced AA-2G efficiently using dextrin as a substrate and AA as an aceptor. Several AA-2-oilgosaccharides(AA-2Gs) were also produced in this reaction mixture, and these were efficiently hydro-lyzed to AA-2G and glucose by the treatment with glucoamylase. The optimal temperature for AA-2G production was $37^{\circ}C$ and the optimal pH was around 6.5. CGTase also utilized $\alpha$-,$\beta$-,${\gamma}$-CDs, soluble starch, com statch, dia-static solution from rice and diastatic solution from malt as substrate, but not glucose. The reaction mixture for the maximal production of AA-2G was following; 15% total substrate concentration, 2,500 units/ml of CGTase and a mixing ration of 3:2(g of AA: g of dextrin). Under this condition, 56 mM of AA-2G ,which corresponded to 12.4% yield based on AA. was produced after incubation for 44 hrs at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.5.

  • Changes in physicochemical characteristics were investigated for immature barley kernels roasted at $160{\sim}220^{\circ}C$ for $1{\sim}12$ min. Only small differences in chemical constituents including starch, protein, fat, ash, total dietary fiber, and ${\beta}-glucan were observed between immature and mature barley kernels. The amounts of 75% ethanol-soluble sugars and amino acids present in immature barley kernels were considerably higher than those in mature kernels, and gradually decreased in the process of roasting. Of free sugars, sucrose, raffinose, glucodifructose($GF_{2}$) and maltose were reduced by roasting. Glucose and fructose, simple reducing sugars, decreased at the early stage of roasting, followed by a slight increase at the later stage. Starch and nitrogen contents decreased slowly, while TDF(total dietary fiber) had a tendency to increase slightly. Stacking volume of immature barley kernels increased markedly, especially at the higher temperatures. L value of immature barley decreased throughout roasting, and a, b values increased at the early stage of roasting but b value decreased with continued roasting. The degree of roasting was strongly affected by the roasting temperature. Darkness of immature barley kernel, depending on the degree of roasting, was highly associated with concentrations of brown pigments extracted from roasted immature barley kernels.

  • During the pearling process of hull-less barley, protein, lipid, ash and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) contents decreased, while soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and ${\beta}-glucan$ contents slightly increased. Depending on milling methods and types of grinding mills used, there were differences in particle size distribution of barley flour. Flour particle size was smaller in the following order of Fitz mill, Ball mill, Pin mill, Cyclotec sample mill and Jet mill. Color (brightness) was closely related to the particle size of barley flour. Damaged starch (%) in pearled barley flour was the highest in Jet mill among different mills. Flours prepared with Cyclone mill and Pin mill had a reasonable amount of damaged starch. Flour produced by Fitz mill showed the lowest amount of damaged starch. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the flour samples demonstrated different sizes and shapes of particles consisting of starch granules and cell wall materials. Damaged starch tended to increase water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), and water retention capacity (WRC). Pasting viscosity determined by amylograph was relatively high in Pin-milled and Cyclone-milled flours. Viscosity was the lowest in coarsely ground flour by Fits mill.

  • Cholesterol $7\alpha-hydroxylase$ (CYP7A1) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids and plays a central role in regulating cholesterol homeostasis. We previously showed that a fermentable $\beta-glucan$ ingestion decreased plasma cholesterol levels due to fecal bile acid excretion elevation involved inincrease of cholesterol $7\alpha-hydroxylase$ mRNA expression and activity. It is proposed that short chain fatty acids (SCFA) produced by cecal and colonic fermentation of soluble fiber are associated with cholesterol-lowering effect of fiber. In the present study, we investigated whether CYP7A1 expression is up-regulated by short chain fatty acids or by hormones in cultured human hepatoma (HepG2) cells. Confluent HepG2 cell were incubated with acetate, propionate, or butyrate at 1 mM concentration for 24 hrs. Acetate as well as propionate increased to 1.8-fold expression of CYP7A1 mRNA than the control. Butyrate also increased 1.5-fold expression of CYP7A1 mRNA. Our data show for the first time that SCFA increase expression of CYP7A1 mRNA. Adding insulin, dexamethasone and triiodothyronine $(1\;{\mu}M)$ to HepG2 cell increased the expression of CYP7A1 mRNA to $150\%,\;173\%,\;141\%$, respectively. These results suggest that SCFA produced by cecal fermentation stimulate enteric nervous system, in which secreted some neuropeptides may be responsible for change in cholesterol and bile acid metabolism. These findings suggest that SCFA are involved in lowering plasma cholesterol levels due to the up-regulation of CYP7A1 and bile acid synthesis.
