Peanut is a well-known food allergen that causes adverse reactions ranging from mild urticaria to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Consumers suffering from peanut allergies should thus avoid consuming undeclared peanuts in processed foods. Therefore, effective cleaning methods are needed to remove food allergens from manufacturing facilities. To address this, wet cleaning methods with washing water at different temperatures, abstergents (peracetic acid, sodium bicarbonate, dilute sodium hypochlorite, detergent), and cleaning tools (brush, sponge, paper towel, and cotton) were investigated to remove peanuts from materials used in food manufacture, including plastics, wood, glass, and stainless steel. Peanut butter was coated on the surface of the glass, wood, stainless steel, and plastic for 30 min and cleaned using wet cleaning. The peanut residue on the cleaned surfaces was swabbed and determined using an optimized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cleaning using a brush and hot water above 50oC showed an effective reduction of peanut residue from the surface. However, removing peanuts from wooden surfaces was complicated. These results provide information for selecting appropriate materials in food manufacturing facilities and cleaning methods to remove food allergens. Additionally, the cleaning methods developed in this study can be applied to further research on removing other food allergens.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the physicochemical properties by mixing ratio of soybean and peanut protein to secure basic data for developing alternative protein foods. As a result of analyzing the protein molecular weight pattern, it was confirmed that the specific molecular weight was affected by the soybean and peanut protein mixture. The content of glutamic acid, aspartic acid, arginine, glycine, serine, alanine, and tyrosine among nonessential amino acids was higher as the mixing ratio of peanut protein to soy protein was higher. However, the higher the peanut protein mixing ratio, the lower the water absorption capacity. Based on the results of this study, further studies, such as selecting soybean and peanut cultivars for determining the optimal mixing ratio of soybean and peanut protein and processing methods to improve physical properties, are necessary

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of high-oleate and normal-oleate peanut consumption on adipose mass and serum lipids in obese-induced C57BL/6J mice. After four weeks of the high-fat diet, mice were randomly divided into six groups: normal control (NC) diet, high-fat control (HFC) diet, high-oleate peanut-seed (HOPS) diet, normal-oleate peanut-seed (NOPS) diet, high-oleate peanut-oil (HOPO) diet, and olive-oil (OO) diet. After four weeks, all four experimental diet groups showed significantly lower body weight and epididymal fat weight than HFC group. In four experimental diet groups, serum triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly lower, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was significantly higher than HFC group. TG was significantly decreased in HOPS group (92.1±1.2 mg/dL) than NOPS group (101.7±5.3 mg/dL, p<0.05). Similarly, LDL-C was significantly lower in HOPS group (66.1±2.8 mg/dL) than NOPS (76.9±1.5 mg/dL, p<0.05), on the other hand, HDL-C indicated a significant elevation in HOPS (50.5±2.1 mg/dL) than NOPS group (45.2±1.6 mg/dL, p<0.05). This result suggests that the consumption of high-oleate peanut has a favorable effect on the plasma lipid profile.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of enzyme activity and anti-proliferation of human cancer cell lines (HCT 116, NCI-H460 and MCF-7) of peanut skin depending on cultivars (Arachis hypogaea L. cv. K-Ol, cv. Sinpalkwang, cv. Daan, cv. Heuksaeng) and extraction solvent. Peanut skin was extracted with 80% ethanol, 80% methanol, 80% acetone, and distilled water, followed by analysis of the enzyme inhibitory activity and anticancer activity. Methanol extract of Daan cultivar most effectively inhibited α-gluosidase (65.08%, 0.025 mg/mL), tyrosinase (82.49%, 2 mg/mL) and ACE (73.61%, 10 mg/mL). The inhibitory effect of peanut skin extracts on colon cancer cell (HCT-116), lung cancer cell (NCI-H460) and breast cancer cell (MCF-7) growth were investigate using MTT assay. The highest anti-proliferation of cancer cell line of peanut skin extracts was observed in the methanol extract of Daan cultivar. The cell viability on HCT 116, NCI-H460 and MCF-7 cell lines of methanol extracts from peanut skin of Daan cultivar was 48.13%, 41.03%, and 36.02% at 200 μg/mL, respectively. These results suggest that peanut skin extracts may mediate physiological activity, and provide valuable information for the use of peanut byproduct as a functional food material.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of roasted peanuts and the antioxidative effect of peanut oil added with sesame oil. Saltiness of roasted peanut increased with increasing salt content. In terms of color value, L and b values decreased as increasing concentration increased, whereas a value increased with increasing salt content. Overall, sensory evaluations proved that roasted peanuts with 15% added salt was preferred over other samples. For peanut oil added with sesame oil, acid values increased during the storage period, whereas samples made with sesame oil had lower values than the control group. Peroxide values increased rapidly for 21 days and then decreased. The acid and peroxide values were lower in peanut oil added with 50% sesame oil compared to peanut oil added with 30%, 10%, and 70% sesame oil, as well as the control. The TBA values of peanut oil made with 50% and 30% sesame oil were lower than those of the control and 70% and 10% sesame oil. According to the Rancimat method, PS-50% (524 min) and PS-30% (453 min) demonstrated longer induction periods as compared to the control (280 min), PS-70% (445 min), and PS-10% (291 min) samples.

본 연구는 고품질 땅콩나물 생산을 위해서 세근발생을 억제시키는 생장조절제의 처리 효과를 검정하기 위해 수행되었다. 땅콩나물의 세근발생억제제인 참시루와 6BA를 ‘조평’과 ‘베트남’땅콩에 처리하면 세근발생억제제의 처리농도가 높을수록 세근 발생수는 감소하였다. 그 효과는 6BA가 참시루보다 우수하였고, ‘베트남’ 땅콩보다는 ‘조평’에서 세근발생억제 효과가 명확하였다. 참시루 및 6BA의 배양용액을 1일간 간격으로 교체하면 배양용액을 교체하지 않는 처리구에 비해 부패균 활동을 억제 시켜 하배축 생장을 촉진시킨 반면 세근발생은 억제시켜 고품질 땅콩나물 생산이 가능하였다. 땅콩나물 재배의 배양용액에 GA3와 참시루를 혼용하여 처리하면 땅콩나물의 생육을 향상시켰고, 적정 처리조건은 GA3 50mg·L-1 + Chamsiru 8.40mg·L-1 처리였다.

An importance of food allergen detection has been growing in food industry. Here, we developed a rapid and easy-to-use detection system for Ara h1, a major allergen in peanut, using gold nanoparticles and switchable linkers. The detection system was performed by two steps. In the first step, Ara h1 was mixed with various concentrations (0.2 - 1.0μg/mL) of biotinylated anti-Ara h1 antibody (i.e., switchable linker, SLs) solutions for 20 min. After mixing, streptavidin coated gold nanoparticle (Abs. 4.0) was added to the mixture solutions with agitation for10 min. Without Ara h1(control), the region of aggregation caused by quantitative relationship between SLs and gold nanoparticle was observed at more than 0.4 μg/mL of SLs. However, under presence of Ara h1, SLs covered with Ara h1 had less ability to react with gold nanoparticles than naked SLs. This resulted in a change of the quantitative relationship mentioned above, which led to shift of the aggregation region. When 10 nM and 40 nM of Ara h1 were added, the aggregation region was appeared from 0.5and 0.8 μg/mLof switchable linkers, respectively. Ara h1 in peanut sample was also detected with this system. 0.4 μg/mL of switchable linkers are mixed with serially diluted peanut extract solutions. As a result, the shift of the aggregation region was observed from undiluted extract to 10 -2 diluted solution. This system could be adapted to detect other harmful/useful bio materials in food.

땅콩을 발아시켜 새싹으로 키우게 되면 땅콩에 함유되어 있는 resveratrol과 asparagine 성분이 크게 증가된다는 보고가 있다. 이러한 사실을 바탕으로 땅콩새싹 추출물을 이용한 숙취해소음료를 개발하였 다. 본 연구에서는 땅콩새싹 추출물을 이용한 숙취해소 음료가 항산화 및 알코올분해효소 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서, 총 페놀 함량과 DPPH radical 소거활성 및 ADH와 ALDH 효소활성을 in vitro 및 in vivo 실험을 통하여 확인하였다. in vitro 실험결과 총 페놀 함량과 DPPH radical 소거활성에 있 어서는 두 가지 모두 땅콩새싹 숙취해소음료가 제품A보다는 약 6배, 제품B보다는 약 2배 정도로 높은 활성을 보였으며, ADH와 ALDH 효소활성은 제품A 보다 각각 약 40배와 약 7배 정도로 높게 나타났으 며, 제품B 보다는 약 20배와 약 2배 정도로 높게 나타났다. in vivo 실험을 통한 혈중 알코올농도는 시 간이 경과함에 따라 빠르게 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 아세트알데히드는 시간이 경과함에 따라 대조군에 비하여 빠르게 분해되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 땅콩새싹을 이용한 숙취해소 음료는 시중에 판 매되고 있는 숙취해소음료와 비교해 볼 때 항산화 및 알코올분해효소 활성에 효과적이라 판단된다.

To develop and industrialize functional foods containing peanut sprout extract (PSE) and powder (PSP), the present study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant effects of breads prepared with 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10% PSE and PSP. The expansion ratio of the dough, the quality characteristics such as volume, weight, specific volume, baking loss, color, texture, and sensory preference were evaluated. There were significant differences in the bread volume and specific volume among the control, PSE and PSP groups (p<0.001). Additionally, the weight and baking loss were decreased with an increasing amount of PSP (p<0.001). As the amount of PSE and PSP were increased, the L value of the crumb decreased, whereas the a and b values of the crumb significantly increased (p<0.001), suggesting that the crumb color of the bread may be significancy (p<0.001). As the amount of PSE and PSP increased, the hardness of bread significantly and rapidly increased from 5%. Meanwhile, there was no significance in springiness among the control, PSE and PSP groups. The total resveratrol content and DPPH free radical-scavenging activity of the bread significantly increased depending on the amounts of PSE and PSP (p<0.001). In the overall acceptance test, no significant differences were observed in the color, flavour, or texture, however, the taste and overall acceptance were significantly decreased between the control and the PSE group. All the sensory characteristics in the PSP group were significantly reduced compared with the control. Considering the above results, it can be expected that the suitable amount of PSE and PSP substituted for wheat flour will be from 1.0 to 2.5%. Furthermore, follow-up studies are being carried out continuously.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of wet noodles as well as their cooking properties following the addition of peanut sprout extract (PSE) and powder (PSP), which are known to contain a significant level of resveratrol. Wet noodles were prepared with 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% PSE and PSP. Quality characteristics such as increasing volume of noodle, water ratio, turbidity of cooking water and color, texture, and sensory evaluation were then assessed. Additionally, the total resveratrol content in the cooked noodles was analyzed by HPLC and DPPH free radical scavenging capacity. As the amount of PSE and PSP increased, the L value of wet and cooked noodles significantly decreased, whereas the a and b values increased (p<0.001). The L value of cooked noodles was significantly lower compared to wet noodles (p<0.001) whereas the a and b values were higher. For the cutting intensity properties of the cooked noodles, hardness was reduced with increasing amounts of PSE (p<0.001), and was significantly increased in proportion to the amount of PSP (p<0.05). Meanwhile, springiness was not significantly different in all groups. Total resveratrol content and free radical scavenging activity significantly increased in proportion to the amounts of PSE and PSP (p<0.001), especially in noodles containing 5%, 7.5% and 10% PSE and PSP. Finally, sensory evaluation of PSE noodle revealed that color, flavour, taste were significantly decreased (p<0.05). But there was no difference in overall acceptance among cooked noodles with 2.5% to 5% PSE comparison to the control. Sensory characteristics in the PSP noodle showed similar results. In conclusion, these findings suggest that peanut sprout extract and powder could be potentially used as functional food ingredients. In addition, up to 5% PSE and PSP can be substituted for wheat flour.

땅콩나물의 재배에 적합한 온도와 품종, 그리고 최적 레스베라트롤 생산을 위한 생육단계를 구명하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 땅콩나물용 적정품종을 선발하고자 8 가지 국내외 육성품종의 외형적 특징, 발아율, 발아세, 유묘활력을 조사하였다. 그 결과 소비자의 요구를 반영 하여 세근 발생량이 낮고 하배축이 굵은 ‘조평’이 가장 적절하였고, 땅콩나물 재배에 적합한 온도는 27oC로 판단되었다. 레스베라트롤 함량이 높은 땅콩나물의 적정 생육시기를 구명하고자 치상 후 생육조사와 동시에 HPLC를 이용한 레스베라트롤 함량을 조사한 결과 레스 베라트롤은 치상 후 9일차에 17.0μg/g 이상의 높은 함유량을 나타내었다. 따라서 땅콩나물은 생산적 측면과 레스베라트롤의 함량을 고려했을 때 치상 후 9일차에 땅 콩나물을 수확하는 것이 가장 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was performed to identify the effect of lactic-fermentation of peanut milk on n-hexanal content. Changes in viable cell populations, pH and titratable acidity indicated that there was a synergistic interaction between Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus during fermentation. The analysis of headspace volatiles revealed that n-hexanal nearly disappeared due to fermentation. S. salivarius subsp. thermophilus was more effective than L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus in reducing the n-hexanal content.

Effects of roasting on vitamin E content, color, microstructure and moisture of peanuts, and vitamin E content in peanut oils prepared from the roasted peanuts were investigated. Runner-type peanuts were roasted at 140, 150, and 160ºC for 10-20 min. As roasting temperature and time increased, the CIELAB L* value of peanuts decreased while a* and b* values increased, resulting in formation of the golden brown color of roasted peanuts. Moisture ratio (M/Mo) and color b* value of peanuts roasted at 140 to 160ºC showed a correlation of b* = 21.61 (M/Mo)2 – 40.62 (M/Mo) + 34.12 (R2 = 0.9123). Overall changes in the tocopherol contents of peanuts and peanut oils were significantly affected by roasting temperature and time (p<0.05). Roasting at 140ºC caused a slight increase in the levels of tocopherols of peanuts over roasting time up to 20 min (p<0.05). There was no significant change in the tocopherol levels of peanuts during roasting at 150 ºC for 20 min (p>0.05). At 160ºC, the levels of tocopherols significantly decreased during the initial 10 min of roasting (p<0.05) while there was no extended loss after 10 min, resulting in about 5, 12, 20, and 10% losses of α-, β-, γ- and δ-T, respectively. After 20 min, total tocopherols decreased by 18%. However, tocopherol contents of pressed peanut oils significantly decreased at all roasting temperatures (p<0.05). After roasting peanuts at 160ºC for 20 min, about 84% of initial α-T in peanut oils was retained. α-T was the most stable to roasting while γ-T was the least. Swollen epidermal cells on the inner surface and broken cell walls of parenchyma tissue of peanut cotyledon were observed in peanuts after roasting at 160ºC for 15 min. Severe changes in microstructure of peanut by roasting would contribute to vitamin E stability because of exposure of oil droplets in peanuts to oxygen.
