본 연구에서는, 표고버섯 균사체 발효 생물전환공법으로 생산된 미강생물전환소재(BPP-RB)가 가금티푸스의 주요 원인균인 S. Gallinarum에 감염된 닭 유래 대식세포주 HD- 11에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 미강생물전환소 재 추출액은 S. Gallinarum 277에 대한 직접적인 성장억제 효과를 보여주지 않았으며, 총단백질 및 분비단밸질 발현 양상에 어떠한 변화도 유도하지 못하였다. 하지만, 미강생 물전환소재 추출액은 (i) HD-11 대식세포의 탐식 능력 (phagocytic activity)을 활성화하였고, (ii) Th1-type cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, iNOS)과 immunosuppressive cytokine IL-10의 발현 증가를 유도하였으며, (iii) Th2-type cytokines (IL-4, IL-6)의 발현은 감 소시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과를 종합하면, 미강생물전환소재는 가금 농장에서 가금티푸스 및 다른 Salmonella종의 감염을 예방하기 위한 사료첨가제로서의 가능성을 가지고 있다고 사료된다.

Turmeric is known for its ability to enhance immunity via anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. Salmonella enterica species contain a large number of pathogenic serotypes that are adapted to a broad range of vertebrate hosts. Our previous study revealed that bioprocessed polysaccharides from the liquid culture Lentinus edodes fungal mycelia containing turmeric (BPP-turmeric) is able to alter chicken macrophage responses and increases chick survival against Salmonella enterica infection. In this study, we examined the immunomodulatory effects of BPP-turmeric on the porcine macrophage 3D4/31 cell line infected with Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Choleraesuis (S. Choleraesuis) or S. Enteritidis. Our experimental analyses demonstrated that BPP-turmeric (i) does not alter phagocytic and killing activity of 3D4/31 against either Salmonella serotypes, but that it (ii) represses mRNA transcription of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor α in response to Salmonella infection. Collectively, these results imply that BPP-turmeric has an immunomodulatory effect that represses pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in porcine macrophages, suggesting that it may protect swine from salmonellosis via controlling Salmonella-induced hyperinflammation.

The quality properties of bread with Lentinula edodes powder were investigated to find the most adequate ratio of the Lentinula edodes powder. The protein and crude fat were increased in proportion to the added quantity of Lentinula edodes powder. The amount of ash was found the most in the bread with 1% Lentinula edodes powder. It was confirmed that the volume of bread with Lentinula edodes powder decreased as the amount of the Lentinula edodes powder increased. The brightness was the highest in the control and was inversely proportional to the added amount of Lentinula edodes powder. The yellowness and redness of the dough were proportional to the added amount of Lentinula edodes powder. Total amino acids and free amino acids were found. The dough with 3% Lentinula edodes powder contained the highest amounts of both, followed by 2%, and 1%. When evaluating the length of storage, the bread’s springiness and cohesiveness decreased. Regarding the taste, preference was given to the bread with 2% Lentinula edodes powder, which had the lowest value of bad odors and odd texture in the sensory test.

본 실험은 150mM HCl/60% ehtanol로 유도된 Wistar rat를 이용하여 표고버섯 (Lentinus edodes) 추출물의 위염 예방효과를 보고자 하였다. 표고버섯(Lentinus edodes)의 단백 다당체는 종양에 대한 생체 고유의 방어력을 높여줌으로써 간접적으로 종양세포를 저해하거나, 대식세포의 수를 증가시키는 작용을 한다고 알려져 있다. 또한 혈관 기능을 개선하여 암에 대한 저항력이나 암의 증식을 억제하는 면역력을 강하게 하는 작용이 있으며, 표고버섯(Lentinus edodes)에 함유된 수용성 식이섬유 베타글루칸(효모, 버섯류 등 의 세포벽에 많이 포함되어 있는 다당류로서 세포 유지 역할)이 위장관을 청소하고 위염 완화에 도움을 준다고 알려져 왔다. 그리하여 본 연구의 위염 예방 물질로써 표고버섯을 사용하게 되었다. 실험에 사용된 표고버섯(Lentinus edodes)은 분쇄기를 이용해 분말화한 후, 열수 추출하여 사용하였다. 그룹별 각 3마리씩 1군(정상군), 2군(대조군), 3군(실험군-저), 4군 (실험군-중), 5 군 (실험군-고)으로 분류하여 각 군별로 3군의 농도는 10mg/kg, 4군의 농도는 30mg/kg, 5군의 농도는 300mg/kg으로 시험물질을 경구 투여하였다. 시험물질을 투여한 후, 급성 위염 유발 30분 뒤 육안 관찰을 시행하였으며, 육안 관찰 종료 후 희생 시켜 위를 적출하였다. 급성 위염으로 인해 손상된 위 조직을 통해 손상면적 측정 및 병리학적 검사를 진행하였다. 실험 종료 후, 적출한 위 장기에서 점막 손상에 대한 형태학적 손상을 알아본 결과, 위 보호물질을 투여하지 않은 대조군에서는 위 점막 손상과 출혈이 관찰되었다. 따라서 표고 버섯(Lentinus edodes) 열수 추출물을 이용하여 위 보호물질을 투여한 실험군에서도 저농도 추출물을 투여한 3군에서는 위 점막 손상과 출혈이 관찰되었으나, 2군인 대조 군에 비하여 심하지 않은 정도를 나타내었고, 중농도 추출물질을 투여한 4군에서는 3 군보다 양호한 상태를 나타내었으며, 고농도 추출물질을 투여한 5군에서는 위 점막 손상이 거의 관찰되지 않았음을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, a method to produce a fine volatile powder extracted from shiitake mushrooms using spray freeze-drying (SFD) was investigated. The analysis of the water-soluble aromatic compounds was carried out by headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) coupled withgas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser particle size analysis were applied to characterizethe physical structure and size distribution of the SFD-derivedparticles. Eleven key volatile compounds were identified in the extracts of shiitake mushroomspre- and post-SFD. Recoveries of aromatic volatiles ranging from 30.9 - 82.9% were observed in the overall flavor profile results from the powder obtained with SFD. SEM analysis demonstrated that the particles of the aromatic powderwere spherical in nature, having highly porous surfaces andmean diameters of 19.3 μm.

Information and communication technology(ICT) around the world in the 21st century presents a new vision of agriculture. Time, place, and the high-tech industry to overcome barriers to the fusion of the so-called “smart agriculture” is changing the landscape of agriculture. Precision Agriculture’s core container production for the mushroom cultivation temperature, humidity, irradiation, self-regulation, such as carbon dioxide, the optimal environment for mushroom cultivation was implemented. The Lentinula edodes (shiitake) is an edible mushroom native to East Asia, which is cultivated and consumed in many Asian countries. It is considered a medicinal mushroom in some forms of traditional medicine. The fungus was first described scientifically as Agaricus edodes by Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1877. It was placed in the genus Lentinula by David Pegler in 1976. We controlled different light source (Blue-Red-White combined LED, blue LED, red LED and fluorescent light) with different intensity of LED irradiation (1.5, 10.5, 20.5 μmol/m2s for LEDs) to compare growth and development. Lights were treated with 12 hour on/ 12hour off cycle maintained in a controlled room with 19 ~ 21oC temperature, 80~90% humidity, and 1,000 ppm CO2 atmosphere concentration for 30 days. Growth and development differed from the LED color source and intensity of LED irradiation. Growth and development was most effective in 10.5 μmol/m2s for blue LED. All LED light sources showed less growth and development in lowest intensity of irradiation, which indicates that higher than 1.5 μmol/m2s for LED is not effective. After harvesting fruit bodies, we measured their weight and length, thickness of pileus and stipe, chromaticity, and hardness. 10.5 μmol/m2s blue LED group was the best result of harvest with average individual weight (24.7g) and length (61.98mm), thickness (29.93mm) of pileus and length (33.60mm), thickness (16.86mm) of stipe with fine chromaticity, hardness. This results show us that 10.5 μmol/m2s blue LED was the best effect on growth and development of Lentinus edodes (shiitake) mushroom’s ICT system container type environment.

Shiitake culture in sawdust is a widely applied method, which can supplement the disadvantages of costly and time consuming oak log cultivation. In sawdust cultivation, browning of surface mycelia is an important stage for the productivity and longevity of sawdust media. Surface browning forms protection coat for the substrate, which can block the invasion of outer pathogens and suppress water evaporation in the substrate. We controlled different light source (red LED, white LED, blue LED, and fluorescent light) with different intensity of illumination (1.5, 10.5, 20.5 μmol/m2s for LEDs and 10, 100, 300 lux for fluorescent light) to induce browning. Lights were treated with 1 hour on/ 1 hour off cycle maintained in a controlled room with 20℃ temperature, 60% humidity, and 1200 ppm CO2 atmosphere concentration for 60 days. Browning effect differed from the source and intensity of illumination. Browning was most effective in 1.5 μmol/m2s for red and blue LED. All light sources showed less browning in highest intensity of illumination, which indicates that higher than 20.5 μmol/m2s for LEDs or 300 lux for fluorescent light are not effective. After harvesting fruit bodies, we measured their weight, length and width of pileus and stipe, chromaticity, and hardness. Treatment with 1.5 μmol/m2s blue LED produced the best harvest with highest average individual weight (21.2g), stipe length (30.8 mm), and hardness (377.9 g) with fine length and width of pileus, and chromaticity. This results indicate that 1.5 μmol/m2s blue LED showed the best browning effect which resulted in the best harvest yield.

This research was relative humidity (65, 75, 85 and 95%) growth characteristics of the oak mushroom (Lentinula edodes) 'Nongjingo’. At the relative humidity was 65% in growth chamber. On this condition the moisture content of medium surface was 60.5%. That was lower than other treatments. That condition makes Pileus was 77.1% and stipe was 65%. Among the growth characteristics according to the relative humidity, the pileus diameter at 75% relative humidity were 45.5mm that largest than other treatment and pileus thickness at 75% relative humidity were largest than other treatment. The stipe thickness at 65% relative humidity were 14.8mm that lagest than other treatment. The number of available stipes at 95% relative humidity were 13.3peace/2kg that largest than other treatment. The comparison yield ability of 1 cycle was 104.2g that result in largest than other treatment at 95% relative humidity. This result was associated to the relative humidity of fruiting bodies, the lower relative humidity result in the lower of yield. However, the lower relative humidity result in the higher number of whago, Especially, at the treatment of 65% relative humidity, all the fruit bodies were produced as Whago (dry). Therefore, the higher relative humidity influenced in the higher yield but produced water mushroom. That result was thought that ‘Nongjingo’ would be possible to produce high quality mushroom by adjusting the relative humidity appropriately.

표고버섯가루(Lentinus edodes powder, LE)첨가량 (0~1%)과 지방대체재를 첨가한 저지방 소시지의 이화학적 및 조직학적인 성상과 관능특성에 대하여 조사하였고, 기존의 유화형 소시지와 유사한 성상을 갖는 저지방 처리구를 선별하고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. LE 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 명도는 낮아졌으 나, 황색도는 증가하였다. 또한 유리수분양이 많아졌으며, 특히 LE를 0.5% 이상 첨가할 때, 지방대체 재가 함유된 저지방 소시지 LE 무첨가 조건과 유의적인 차이를 보였다. LE 첨가량이 증가할수록 유의 적으로 조직감이 낮아졌으며, 특히 0.5% 이상 첨가할 때, 유화형 및 저지방 소시지 대조구와 지방대체 재를 첨가한 저지방 소시지 LE 무첨가 조건과 유의적인 차이를 보였다 (P<0.05). 이러한 보수성과 조 직감의 감소는 관능성상에서도 유사하게 나타났다. 결론적으로 제품의 결함이 없는 기능성 저지방 소시 지를 제조하기 위한 LE 첨가량은 0.25%이하로 제안하였다.

항암, 콜레스테롤 저하, 혈당 강하, 항종양 작용 등이 있는 것으로 입증되어 있는 표고 균사체를 유산균 발효하여 정장작용과 미생물의 발육억제 등의 효능을 더할 수 있는 음료 및 기능성 식품소재 개발을 시도 하였다. 표고 균사체 배양액을 유산균(Bifidobacterium bifidum)으로 1차 발효하고, 1차 발효가 끝난 발효액에 김치 유산균(Lactobacillus sakei subsp.)을 이용하여 2차 발효 하였으며, 1차와 2차 발효에 따른 기능성 물질로 β-glucan과 ergothioneine, 폴리페놀 함량 측정 및 DPPH free radical 소거활성을 측정하였다. 표고균사체 배양액을 이용한 유산발효물의 β-glucan함량을 측정한 결과 1차 발효물에서는 1.19%, 2차 발효물에서는 1.02%로 나타났으며, ergothioneine의 함량은 1차 발효물에서 3.23 mg%, 2차 발효물에서 2.77 mg%로 나타났다. 폴리페놀 함량을 측정한 결과 1차 발효물에서는 17.11 mg%, 2차 발효물에서는 10.31 mg%로 나타났다. 표고 발효물의 β-glucan, ergothioneine 및 폴리페놀의 함량은 1차 발효물이 2차 발효물 보다 높게 나타났다. DPPH free radical 소거활성을 측정한 결과 IC50 값이 1차 발효물은 9.89 mg/mL로 나타났으며, 2차 발효물에서는 7.31 mg/mL로 나타났다. 김치 유산균을 발효한 2차 발효물의 유용성분 및 생리활성은 1차 발효물에 비하여 감소한 것으로 나타났다.

표고균사에서 갈변시기를 조절하고 확인할 수 있는 유전공학적 시스템을 개발하여 톱밥재배용 표고균주를 조기에 선별할 수 있도록 표고균사가 갈변되는 동안 균사상태에서 특이적으로 발현되는 유전자를 분리하기 위하여 갈변되지 않은 균사와 갈변이 완전히 이루어진 균사에서 differential display를 실시하였다. 그 결과 이들 균사로부터 특이적으로 발현되는 두 개의 1.6kb 와 1.2kb의 cDNA clone을 선발하여 염기서열을 분석하였다. 이 중 1.6kb의 cDNA단편은 Dugenia polichroa로부터 분리된 microsatellites 유전자와 100%의 상동성을 나타냈다. 그러나 1.2kb의 cDNA 단편은 3´부위에 poly A tail과 5 부위에 partial open reading frame를 가지고 있어 이를 primer로 제작한 후 갈변되지 않은 균사와 갈변이 이루어진 균사에서 RT-PCR을 실시하여 본 결과 갈변이 되지 않은 백색의 균사에서 발현이 확인되었다. 1.2kb의 cDNA 단편의 5’ 부위의 염기서열 분석은 110개의 아미노산으로 구성된 partial open reading frame으로 나타났다. 이 유전자를 DNASIS database에서 상동성을 비교해 본 결과 Arabidopsis thaliata에서 분리된 dTDP-glucose 4,6- dehydratases 유전자와 DNA 수준에서는 66.7%, 아미노산 수준에서는 69.2%의 높은 상동성을 나타내었다. 갈변에 관련된 특이 유전자(BCR gene)를 확인하였다. 이 유전자는 산화 stress에 대해 저항성을 나타내는 기능을 가진 것으로 알려져 있어 표고 균사가 갈변될 때 repressor로서 작용할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 이 유전자를 BCR (Brown Color Repressor) 유전자라고 명명하였다.

The purpose of this study was to bake sweet rice muffins with oak mushroom (Lentinus edodes) powder. The process included substituting sweet rice flour for cake flour and adding oak mushroom powder. This study determined the optimal mixing conditions of oak mushroom muffins by adjusting the amounts of oak mushroom powder, whole eggs, and soybean oil. The mixing conditions for the oak mushroom muffins included 3 categories: oak mushroom powder (X1), whole eggs (X2), and soybean oil (X3) by Central Composite Design (CCD) which was optimized by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Oak mushroom muffin formulation was optimized using rheology. Yellowness (p〈0.001) and redness (p〈0.05) displayed a linear model pattern, whereas lightness (p〈0.05) was represented by a quadratic model. Among the sensory properties, variables that appeared to show significant values such as appearance (p〈0.5), texture (p〈0.5), and overall quality (p〈0.5) were used to identify optimums. The result of mechanical properties showed significant values in gumminess (p〈0.5) and chewiness (p〈0.5). The numerical and graphical methods used in this study determined that the optimum formulation for oak mushroom powder sweet rice muffins was 8.75 g of oak mushroom powder, 235.95 g of whole eggs, and 19.93 g of soybean oil.

Lentinus edodes is a popular edible mushroom in South-East Asia. This study was initiated to evaluate the antioxidant activities, tyrosinase inhibitory effects on the fruiting bodies of L. edodes extracted with acetone, methanol and hot water. The antioxidant activities were performed on β-carotene-linoleic acid, reducing power, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging, and ferrous chelating abilities. In addition to this, phenolic acid and flavonoids contents were also analyzed. Methanolic extract of L. edodes showed the strongest β-carotene-linoleic acid inhibition as compare to others extracts. At 8 mg/ml, hot water extract showed a high reducing power of 0.96. The scavenging effects on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals, acetonic extract was effective than other extracts. The strongest chelating effect (86.45%) was obtained from the acetonic extract at 1.0 mg/ml concentration. Antioxidant activities of the extracts from the fruiting bodies of L. edodes were increased with the increasing concentration. After application of reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography, coupled to a diode array detector and electrospray ionisation mass spectra, four phenolic compounds namely, naringenin, hesperetin, formononetin and biochanin were identified from acetonic extract. Tyrosinase inhibition of acetonic, methanolic, and hot water extracts of L. edodes were increased with the increasing of concentration. Results revealed that acetonic and methanolic extracts showed good, while hot water showed moderate activities of the tyrosinase inhibition at the concentration tested. This study suggests that fruiting bodies of L. edodes can potentially be used as a readily accessible source of natural antioxidants.

버섯(Mushroom)은 분류학상으로 고등균류 중 진균류(Eu m y c e t e s ) 에 속하며, 대부분 담자균류 (Basiodiomycetes)에 속한다. 이러한 버섯은 독특한 맛과 향이 뛰어나 기호성이 높은 식품으로 이용되어 왔고, 당질, 단백질, 비타민, 아미노산, 무기질 등과 같이 인체에 중요한 각종 영양소를 골고루 함유하고 있으며, 광범위한 약리 작용 도 나타내므로 예로부터 전통식품 및 민간약의 제제로서 널 리 이용되어 왔을 뿐만 아니라 항암활성, 면역증강 등의 효능 작용 때문에 최근에는 기능성 식품 및 의약품 소재로 많이 이 용되고 있다. 표고버섯은 다당류에 의한 항암효과 및 항바이러스, 혈장 콜레스테롤 함량저하, 동맥경화, 고혈압, 등과 같은 성인병 치료 및 예방의 효과가 입증되었으며, 표고버섯 추출물은 항 산화성, 아질산염 소거작용이 우수한 것으로 보고되어 세계 적으로 식용으로 광범위하게 이용되고 있는 추세이다. 이에 따라 표고버섯(Lentinus edodes ) 자실체 추출물을 분석하 여, 성인병 예방 및 면역증강에 관련된 물질을 분석하였다. 항산화 실험은 DPPH Free radical scavenging activity 방 법을 통하여 진행되어 ‘가을 수확’이 가장 높은 항산화 효 과를 나타내었다. 또한 천연 식품에 존재하는 영양성분 중 의 하나인 페놀류(polyphenol)는 항산화 역할을 하는 것으 로 알려져 있다. 이를 Folin ciocalteu 방법을 통한 실험결과 에서도 마찬가지 결과가 나타났다. 한편, 면역기능부분에서 는 β-glucan 함량 측정을 하였다. 다당류의 일종인 베타글 루칸은 인간의 정상적인 세포조직의 면역기능을 활성화시 켜 암세포의 증식과 재발을 억제하고 면역세포의 기능을 활 발하게 하는 인터루킨(interleukin), 인터페론(interferon) 의 생성을 촉진시킨다. 그 결과 ‘가을수확 동고자루’에서 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다. 항고혈압 실험부분에서는 ACE 저해활성 측정을 통하여 진행하였다. 고혈압의 치료제 로 사용되는 ACE 억제제는 관상동맥질환과 심근경색의 발 생을 감소시키며, neyrohomonal effect 에 의해 혈관벽에 가 해지는 스트레스를 줄여줌으로써 심혈관계 질환에 효과를 나타낸다. ACE 저해활성 측정은 Cushman 과 Cheung 의 spectrophotometric assay 방법을 이용해 측정하였다. 그 결과 ‘봄수확 동고갓’에서 비교적 높은 ACE 저해활성능 을 나타내는 것으로 나타났다. 항혈전 실험은 혈전용해활성 을 이용하였다. 혈전용해활성은 Astrup 과 Mullertz 의 fibrin plate 법을 이용하여 측정하였다. ‘봄수확 동고갓, 자루’에 서 가장 높은 혈전용해능이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 항 당뇨 실험에서는 α-amyloglucosidase를 이용한 실험을 진 행하였다. 우리나라 당뇨환자의 대부분인 인슐린 비의존형 당뇨병 치료약물에 대한 연구는 당의 소화 및 흡수를 제어할 목적으로 전분분해효소 저해제에 대한 연구가 진행 중이며 이에 따라 α-1,4 및 α-1,6 글루코시드 결합을 가수분해 하는 효소인 α-amyloglucosidase를 이용해 버섯시료가 이 효소를 저해함으로써 단당류의 소화흡수를 저해하는 정도를 측정하였다. 그 결과 ‘가을수확 동고자루’에서 가장 높은 저해능을 보였다. 이러한 결과들은 표고버섯이 추출물에 의한 항산화효과 및 면역력증강, 혈장콜레스테롤 함량저하, 동맥경화, 고혈압, 당뇨 치료 및 예방의 효과가 뛰어난 것으로 판단된다. 이를 근거로 의약품 개발 및 건강기능성 식품에 응용을 한다면 그 부가가치가 클 것으로 예상된다.

These experiments were conducted to search for the optimum composition of media material and media size for vinyl bag culture using sawdust. Considering the incubation period and the successful culturing rate, the optimum media size was length 25cm diameter 14cm (weight 2.5kg). The saturation moisture amount of Oak sawdust was 251㎖/100g. It is a half of pine sawdust 495㎖/100g. In 10 treatments of media construction including Oak sawdust 100%, the optimum material mixing rate was Oak sawdust 80%+wheat bran 20% and Oak sawdust 80%+ bran 20% considering the hypha growing speed and hypha density. The optimum moisture amount in media for growing Lentinus edodes was 55%. Injection pipe with 20 holes in media was reduced the incubation periods to 11 days when 20cm length media and 32 days when 30cm length media. The best method for browning media surface was above 10℃ of hematocryal and punching the vinyl bag. This treat could shortened the browning periods to 54 days.

The yields of the fractions of n-hexane-soluble, ethyl acetate-soluble and methanol-soluble from the P. densiflora sawdust were obtained 1.36%, 2.21% and 4.03% using organic solvents, respectively (Table 1). The antifungal activity of the n-hexane extracts against L. edodes at concentrations 125, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 ppm were 36.5%, 41.2%, 43.1%, 45.4% and 47.6%, respectively (Table 2). The percent of antifungal activity against L. edodes was the greatest for the n-hexane extracts, ranging from 36.5% to 47.6% at a concentrations of 125 ppm to 1000ppm, with the values for all concentrations significantly different from one another. In this experiment, the antifungal activity by the n-hexane extracts was the highest. This result supposed that the n-hexane extracts have not only many more inhibitory compounds against L. edodes than the ethyl acetate and methanol extracts but also the inhibitory compound may be more easily dissolved by n-hexane than by ethyl acetate or methanol.
