본 연구는 위장 단계의 소화과정에 관여하는 Gastric lipase (GL)를 반려견을 위한 정적 체외 소화모델(Static in vitro digestion model)에 적용을 검토하기 위하여 실시되었다. GL의 첨가가 체외 소화과정 동안 건물(Dry matter; DM), 조단백질(Crude protein; CP) 그리고 조지방(Ether extracts; EE) 소화율에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. GL은 위장 소화단계에서 첨가되었다. 위장(39℃, 2 hr.)과 소장(39℃, 4 hr.) 소화 후에 비소화 분획을 분리하였다. 그리고 실험사료와 분리된 비소화 분획에서 DM, CP 그리고 EE 수준을 측정하고 각각의 소화율을 계산하였다. 위장과 소장 소화단계에서 측정된 DM, CP 그리고 EE 소화율은 Control과 GL 그룹 사이에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 관찰되지 않았다(p>0.05). 결과적으로 우리의 체외 소화모델에서 GL의 첨가는 DM, CP 그리고 EE의 소화율에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이와 같은 결과는 정적 체외 소화모델을 이용한 소화율의 평가에 있어서 GL의 역할은 다소 제한적일 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.

Screening of Bacillus subtilis strains capable of producing extracellular hydrolases, including lipolytic enzyme was carried out. Within the scope of this study, total 61 strains were isolated from various domestic specific environmental samples such as seawater, soil, Jeju ranch, hot spring, salt farm, and fermented food and identified as Bacillus subtilis based on 16S rRNA sequences. Among the isolates, 4 strains had extracellular lipase activity. The growth profile of the strains revealed that 4 strains showed well growth at 50℃, 3 strains at 55℃, and pH 7.0. All strains could tolerate salinity up to 5%(w/v), 3 strains up to 10%(w/v), and only one strain showed growth at 15%(w/v). Additionally, amylolytic and proteolytic activities were detected in these strains. The highest lipolytic, amylolytic, and proteolytic activity was detected in Bacillus subtilis YS-YR 5A. These results demonstrate the potential application of extracellular hydrolase-producing Bacillus subtilis strains, especially strain YS-YR 5A, as fermentation starter to enhance the functionality and multiplication of functional natural products in the food/medicine/cosmetics/bio industries.

The objective of this study was to evaluate novel usability as natural anti-obesity supplement of Selaginella tamariscina extract. The total phenol contents and total flavonoid contents were 60.29±3.11 GAE mg/g and 14.90±0.34 QE mg/g, respectively. To evaluate anti-obesity activity of Selaginella tamariscina extract, pancreatic lipase inhibition activity as well as its inhibition effect of lipid accumulation in adipocytes were conducted by Oil Red O staining and lipolysis assay. The result of pancreatic lipase inhibition activity of S. tamariscina extract showed a wide range between 40 and 73% dose dependently. While the incubation of 3T3-L1 cells with S. tamariscina extract inhibited differentiation of preadipocytes and reduced lipid accumulation, the level of released free glycerol into culturing medium was increased in multiple concentrations. These results showed that S. tamariscina extract inhibit adipogenesis and pancreatic lipase activity. Thus, S. tamariscina extract can be a candidate for regulating lipid accumulation in obesity.

본 연구는 자색옥수수 색소 1호 포엽과 속대 추출물의 항비만 활성을 검정하고자 지방분해효소 저해활성을 평가 하고 3T3-L1 지방전구세포에서 지방분화억제 효과를 검정하고자 수행되었다. Pancreatic lipase 저해 활성 결과, 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 추출물의 100, 500, 1,000 μg/mL 농 도처리구에서 양성대조군인 orlistat 보다 높은 저해 활성을 나타내었다. 3T3-L1 지방전구세포를 배양하여 색소 1 호 포엽 및 속대 추출물의 세포독성 평가를 수행한 결과, 추출물은 모든 처리농도에서 세포 생존율에 영향을 미치 지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 분화된 3T3-L1 지방전구세포 에서 색소 1호 포엽과 속대 추출물을 처리하지 않고 분화 시킨 대조군은 lipid droplet의 형성이 활발하게 유발되었으나 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 추출물의 처리에 의해 농도 의존적으로 lipid droplet의 형성이 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. Real-time PCR과 Western blot을 실시하여 PPARγ와 C/EBPα 유전자 및 단백질 발현량을 측정한 결과, 추출물을 처리하지 않고 분화시킨 대조군에서는 PPARγ와 C/ EBPα의 유전자 및 단백질 발현이 증가하였으며, 추출물 처리에 의해 PPARγ와 C/EBPα의 유전자 및 단백질 발현이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 본 연구 결과는 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 추출물이 pancreatic lipase 활성 및 지방전구 세포의 분화를 억제시킴으로써 항비만 활성 기능성 물질 로의 활용 가능성이 높음을 시사한다.

양송이 수확후 배지로부터 lipase 생산균을 분리하여 16S rDNA 유전자 분석을 통해 동정한 결과, Burkholderia cepacia ATCC와 99.8% 상동성을 나타냈다. 분리균 B. cepacia 배양여액 중에 함유된 효소단백질을 70% 황산암모늄으로 침전시켜 crude lipase를 회수하였다. 고정화 효소를 제조하기 위하여 crude lipase(CL)과 Novozyme lipase(NL)을 cross-linking 법에 의해 Silane화된 Silicagel에 고정화 시킨 결과, immobilized CL(ICL)은 61%, immobilized NL(INL)은 72%의 잔존활성을 유지하였다. 중성지방 Canola oil을 알칼리(NaOH) 촉매와 효소(CL 및 ICL) 촉매를 이용하여 지방산(fatty acid)으로 분해한 후, methanolysis에 의한 에스터전이반응(trans-esterification)을 통해 지방산으로부터 전환된 바이오디젤(fatty acid methyl ester, FAME)의 종류와 수율을 비교 하였다. 생성된 총 FAME 함량은 NaOH 781mg L-1, free lipase 681mg L-1, 고정화 lipase 598mg L-1순으로 높았으며, 지방산 조성별 FAME 함량은 linoleic acid(C18:1)가 약 50%로 가장 높았으며, stearic acid(C18:0)가 22%정도의 높은 수준이었다. 또한 반응시간이 증가함에 따라 CL과 ICL 모두 불포화지방산 FAME의 조성비는 감소하고, 상대적으로 포화지방산 FAME의 조성비는 증가하는 경향을 보여 lipase 효소가 transesterification 활성과 interesterification 활성을 동시에 가지는 것으로 여겨진다. 고정화효소의 잔여활성은 반복회수가 증가함에 따라 서서히 감소하여 4회 반복 후, 초기 활성도에 비해 ICL은 34% 와 INL은 21%까지 감소하였다.

Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder in the developed world and has become a global epidemic in recent years. In this study, Zanthoxylum planispinum extracts (ZPE) were evaluated on the effect on inhibition of pancreatic lipase and lipid metabolism by oral treatment for 2 months in high-fed diet obesity-induced Balb/c mice. The ZPE showed pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity with IC50 of 0.3 ㎍/㎖. No significant difference in feed intake was observed among the groups. The high-fat diet-treated Z. planispinum extracts groups (HFD+ZPE, 100 ㎎/㎏) significantly decreased body weight compared to the high-fat diet vehicle groups (HFD, p<0.05). The high-fat diet-treated XenicalⓇ groups (HFD+Xenical, n=10, 30 ㎎/㎏) also showed a significant reduction of body weight compared to HFD (p<0.05). Biochemical parameters (triglyceride, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) in HFD plus ZPE diet groups were significantly lower than those of the HFD groups (p<0.05). These results indicated that ZPE more effectively suppressed the effects of HFD on body fat gain with the inhibitory effect on pancreatic lipase.

From the course of screening of useful enzyme producing microorganism from insect guts, we isolated 9 lipase producing strains and their lipase producing activities were tested. 16S rDNA sequence analysis showed that they were Gram negative bacteria grouped on Serratia sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Burkholderia sp.. Among them, an excellent lipase producing strain, Burkholderia sp. HY-10 identified by 16S rDNA analysis and biochemical methods, was further studied its lipase producing characteristics. It was isolated from a longcorm beetle, Prionus insularis and showed cell density dependent lipase producing activity in the culture media that contained olive oil as a carbon source. Maximum lipase production was achieved in the M9 media containing 0.5% yeast extract and 0.5% olive oil when cultured at 30℃ for 36-42 hrs.

Bio-diesel as fatty acid methyl ester was derived from such oils as soybean, peanut and canola oil by lipase catalyzed continuous trans-esterification. So the activation of lipase(Novozym - 435) was kept to be up to 4:1, the limiting molar ratio of methanol to oil under one-step addition of methanol due to the miscibility of oil and methanol through the static mixer for 4hrs and the elimination of glycerol on the surface of lipase by 7wt% silica gel. Therefore the overall yield of fatty acid methyl ester from soybean oil appeared to be 98% at 50·C of reaction temperature under two-steps addition of methanol with 2×2:1 of methanol to oil molar ratio at an interval of 5.5hrs, 7wt% of lipase, 24 number of mixer elements, 0.2ml/min of flow rate and 7wt% of silica gel.

Biosurfactant have a low toxicity, good biodegradable, various structure. It can be used for a broad range of purposes in a large variety of different applications. Sorbitol mono alkyl ester synthesized by the Porcine Pancreatic lipase catalyzes transesterification reaction between a sugar alcohol and plant oils. We are examined the surface tension, emusion stability and critical micelle concentration were evaluated. Consequently It has a good properties of biosurfactant.

In order to investigate the effect of ginseng saponins on the activity of lipoprotein lipase, it was attempted to conform the enzymatic hydrolysis of chylomicron with post-heparin induced plasma lipoprotein lipase of normal rabbit in vitro. And the activity of lipoprotein llipase was determined by the quantitative determination of liberated free fatty acids on the hydrolysis of chylomicron. As the result, it was observed that the ginseng saponins accelerated the hydrolysis of chylomicron by post-heparin plasma in vitro. And the optimum concentration of ginseng saponins for the activity of the lipoprotein lipase in the 2% bovine serum albumin was 10-4%. But ginseng saponins on the hydrolysis of chylomicron was influenced by the presence and the absence of albumin. And the optimum concentration of albumin and Na-cholate on the activity of lipoprotein lipase was each of the 10-6% albumin and 5mM Na-cholate. From these results, it seems that ginseng saponins might stimulate the intravascular hydrolysis of chylomicron.
