본 연구에서는 다양한 처리 온도와 압력 조건에 따라 초임계 이산화탄소(SC-CO2) 처리한 동결 건조 소간의 이화학적 특성을 비교분석하였다. 무기성분은 SC-CO2 처리에 의해 다소 감소한 Cu를 제외하고는 대체적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. Vit A는 SC-CO2처리에 의해 다소 감소하였지만, vit B3는 처리에 의해 모든 조건에서 증가하였으며, 특히 45℃, 450bar에서는 13.20mg/100g으로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 처리 전 7.16mg/100g에 비해 크게 증가하였다. 소간 내 지방의 추출 수율은 SC-CO2 처리 시 온도와 압력이 증가함에 따라 높아지는 경향을 보였다. SC-CO2 처리에 의해 취득한 소간유의 지방산 조성을 분석한 결과, 주요 지방산은 Palmitic acid(43.20~55.82%), Linoleic acid(9.25~16.80%) 그리고 Myristic acid(5.16~10.54%)로 나타났다. 또한, 17종의 아미노산을 분석한 결과, 45℃에서 SC-CO2를 처리하였을 때 아미노산의 손실이 적게 일어났었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면 SC-CO2는 낮은 수분함량에서도 이화학적 특성의 변화를 최소화 하였다. 이에 따라 SC-CO2 처리는 식품산업에서 부산물인 소간을 이용하여 미생물의 오염으로부터 안전한 고부가가치 식품으로써 다양한 가능성을 열 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of thiol compounds, -mercaptoethanol(-ME) and cystearrone with buffalo rat liver cell(BRLC) co-culture on the development and intracellular glutathione(GSH) concentrations of bovine embryos produced by in vitro inaturation(IVM) and in vitro fertilization(IVF). Bovine IVM /IVF embryos developed to 2~8 cell stage were co-cultured with BRLC in GRlaa with or without thiol compounds. The developmental rate beyond morulae stage in CRlaa containing 0, 10,25 and 50M -ME with BRLG were 63.0, 74.0, 72.3 and 77.1%, respectively. And the developmental rate with 0, 25, 50 and 75M cystearnine with BRLC were 69.6, 77.6, 81.0 and 76.8%, respectively. The developmental rate beyond morulae stage of GRlaa containing thiol compound with BRLG group was higher than that of control group. The intracellular GSH concentrations of blastocysts cultured for 5 days in GRlaa containing 0 and 50M -ME or cysteamine with BRLG were 81.2 and 86.4, 83.2 and 84.2pM, respectively. The intracellular GSH concentrations of blastocysts in GRlaa containing thiol compounds with BRLG was slightly higher than that of control group The cell numbers of blastocysts were not difference in all experimental groups. These results indicate that thiol compounds with BRLG co-culture was increased the percentage of developed into morulae and blastocysts, and intracellular GSII concentrations of blastocysts embryos.

The experiments reported here take advantage of the large number of in vitro matured and in vitro fertilized(IVM /IVF) bovine oocytes which can be produced, permitting the design of controlled experiments to establish a simple defined medium for the study of early embryo requirements. A total of 1,386 IVM /IVF oocytes were used to compare a simple defined medium(KSOM) with more complex culture conditions used successfully for culture of bovine embryos but do not permit study of specific requirements. All experiments were extensively replicated factorials. In Experiment 1, KSOM was superior to Menezo B medium in producing morulae plus blastocysts from IVM /IVF oocytes(33 vs 20%, P<0.()5). The yield of morulae plus blastocysts with KSOM was 22% and with BRLC added was 30%. In Experiment 2, (a 2x2 factorial of KSOM with or without BRLC and 0, 1 ng /ml of platelet derived growth factor, PDGF) more morulae plus blastocysts (40%) were produced in KSOM-BRLC co-culture containing 1 ng /ml PDGF than in the control KSOM(12%). In Experiment 3, there was no dose response when 0, 1 and 5 ng /ml of PDGF were added. The results with simple defined KSOM medium are sufficiently promising to indicate that specific requirements of the embryo may be examined in future studies with KSOM as a base.
