Blood types in pigs are divided into two types, A and O type. It is important to select and breed O-type pigs that have no hematologic rejection, because the blood type of the donor is an important factor causing immune rejection in xenotransplantation. Therefore, the gene that determines the blood type is GGTA1(glycoprotein, alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase 1), which generally belongs to the ABO blood group. This study was carried out to develop a simple and accurate method by analyzing the structure of GGTA1 gene which determines blood type. A primer was designed to allow easy identification of the blood type of the target in the first and second deletion regions of intron 7 to distinguish between the A and O genotypes. That is, for the purpose of identifying the blood type using length difference after the PCR, the forward and reverse primers were designed in the highly conservative region. As a result, a pair of primers were prepared and PCR amplification was performed to distinguish three types of genotypes, AA, AO, and OO, using the length difference by electrophoresis. Using the above primers, the parents and their offspring were compared with each other to confirm the correct genetic pattern. And, in four pig breeds, the genes were amplified and the genotype could be correctly identified. In this study, we could diagnose the blood type of AA, AO, OO genotype of pigs by using primer of INDEL region. Especially, since it is possible to diagnose the genotype by the length difference, it is possible to diagnose it quickly and accurately from the gene amplification to the genotype reading

In this study, enzyme (thermoase) hydrolysis was applied to the porcine blood order to increase the iron content and solubility. It was confirmed that content of iron was increase up to 158.11 mg/100 g porcine powders after 0.2% thermoase treatment at 60℃ during 4 hr. The solubility of porcine blood powders was higher than other enzyme (various protease), temperature, reaction time. This optimized conditions were also worked to the in vitro iron bioavailability rate increasement, the bioavailability of hydolyzed porcine powders was 3-fold higher than that of an iron supplement on the market. These results indicate the possibility of porcine blood powder in iron supplements market as natural material. Also utilizing of reduced porcine blood will be possible to improve environmental issues.

본 연구는 폐기되는 돈혈을 식품소재로 활용하고자 단백 질 가수분해효소 5종을 처리하여 품질특성 변화를 조사하 였다. 그 결과 KMFP-15(E)로 가수분해할 때 pH 7.3, 총 고형분 함량 24.3 oBrix 및 유리아미노산 함량 4,944 mg%로 가장 높은 고형분 함량 및 유리아미노산 함량을 나타내었 다. KMFP-15(E) 농도에 따른 영향을 조사한 결과 처리농도 가 증가함에 따라 총 고형분 함량 및 유리아미노산이 증가 하였으며, 유리아미노산은 KMFP-15(E) 0.2% (w/v)첨가구 에서 7,224 mg%로 0.3% (w/v)첨가구와 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않아 0.2% (w/v)로 설정하였다. KMFP-15(E)의 가수분해 시간에 따라 유리아미노산 함량은 4시간에서 7,404 mg%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 시간이 경과할수록 감소하는 경향을 보여 최적 가수분해시간은 4시간으로 설 정하였다. 상기 설정된 가수분해 조건을 통해 제조된 돈혈 분말(PBHP)에는 조단백질 및 아미노산과 철분, 칼륨, 아연 등 다량의 무기질이 함유되어 있는 것으로 나타났으며 특 히, 철분의 함량은 1,983 mg%로 높게 나타나 식품소재로 활용 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과 폐기되는 돈혈 의 활용방안으로 다양한 가수분해조건중 효소 KMFP- 15(E) 0.2% (w/v)를 첨가하여, 4시간에서 가수분해 하였을 때 전반적 품질 특성이 가장 우수하여 향후 돈혈을 이용해 단백질 보충, 아미노산소재 및 철분강화제 등의 식품 및 의약품 소재로의 고부가가치 창출이 가능할 것으로 판단되 었다.
