Protein can be provided by cultivating various microbes, which contain more than 30% protein content by cell dry weight. This study compared intracellular protein concentrations of various wild-type yeasts from different sources to select the best yeast strain with high protein concentration. Among them, Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCCM 34709, used for molasses fermentation, exhibited 4.1-fold higher protein concentration than a laboratory yeast strain, S. cerevisiae D452-2. In this study, an approach consisting of random mutagenesis coupled with the Bradford protein assay-based screening method was applied to enhance the S. cerevisiae KCCM 34709 protein content. Among 1,000 mutants, the #180 mutant strain produced 5,041±519 mg/L total amino acid in 48 h, which was 31% higher than the parental S. cerevisiae KCCM 34709 strain. These results demonstrate that the #180 mutant strain can be an attractive cell factory for animal-free protein production.

The objective of this study is to determine the effects of barrel temperature and moisture content on the physicochemical properties of texturized vegetable protein (TVP). The water absorption index, water solubility index, texture, integrity index, color, and scanning electron micrograph of the TVP were analyzed. The extrusion conditions consisted of barrel temperature (110, 130, and 150oC) and moisture content (40, 45, and 50%) at a fixed screw speed of 250 rpm. The TVP extruded at 150oC barrel temperature and bearing 50% moisture content had higher water absorption index and water solubility index. Elastic force, cohesiveness, and color differences were the highest in the TVP extruded at 150oC barrel temperature and possessing 40% moisture content. However, the TVP at 150oC barrel temperature and having 40% moisture content had a lower integrity index than the TVP carrying moisture contents of 45 and 50%. The structure of the TVP extruded at 150oC barrel temperature and having 40% moisture content was found similar to a chicken breast tissue’s structure. In conclusion, 150oC barrel temperature and 40% moisture content are optimal conditional characteristics for the texturization of soy protein isolate and gluten.

The effects of temperature (150°C and 160°C) on physicochemical properties of extruded texturized vegetable protein with mealworm (0%, 15%) were studied. The extrusion process had a screw speed of 250 rpm, moisture content of 65%. The variation of formula was gluten content of 40% in 4 samples and none of gluten in 4 samples. As addition of mealworm increased and temperature increased, breaking strength and integrity index decreased, The nitrogen solubility index and protein digestibility increased as addition of mealworm increased and temperature decreased. DPPH radical scavenging activity significantly increased as addition of mealworm increased and temperature increased. On the contrary, the value of rancidity decreased as addition of mealworm increased even in 60 days. In conclusion, addition of mealworm became softer texture, and protein quality of the extruded texturized vegetable protein. The process promoting functionality such as improvement of antioxidant function was confirmed through this study. Also, adjusting temperature have an effect on protein content and antioxidation. The addition of gluten of 40% resulted in improving texture of TVP.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of moisture contents (40, 50, 60%) and CO2 gas injection (0 and 800 mL/min) on physicochemical properties of extruded soy protein isolate (SPI). The expansion ratio and specific length at 40 and 50% moisture contents with CO2 gas injection increased while piece density decreased. On the contrary, the expansion ratio and specific length of extruded SPI at 60% moisture content with CO₂ gas injection decreased while piece density increased. Extruded SPI with CO2 gas injection had small cell size and higher amount of cell than extruded SPI without CO2 gas injection. The water holding capacity and nitrogen solubility index increased with CO2 gas injection increased while the integrity index and the springiness and cohesiveness decreased. In conclusion, extruded SPI with CO2 gas injection showed better expansion properties and cell formation than extruded SPI without CO2 gas injection.

본 연구에서는 FT-IR 스펙트럼데이터의 다변량 통계분석 기법을 활용하여 인도수집 옥수수 계통 및 품종으로부터 단백질 함량이 높은 옥수수를 신속하게 선발할 수 있는 선발체계를 확립함과 동시에 lysine과 tryptophan의 함량분석을 목적으로 연구를 수행하였다. 총 48시료의 인도수집 옥수수 계통 및 품종과 국내산 품종을 이용하여 종자로부터 FT-IR 스펙트럼을 조사하였으며, 무작위로 선발된 24시 료를 대상으로 총 단백질 함량을 조사하였다. 대조구로 사용한 광평옥 모계(GPO1)의 경우 단백질 함량 이 9.34 ± 0.3mg/g dw인데 비하여 H4 계통의 경우 단백질 함량이 10.26 ± 0.5mg/g dw로 48개 옥 수수 시료 중에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 특히 옥수수 H4, H6, H11, 그리고 H12 계통의 경우 총 단백질 함량이 각각 10mg/g dw 이상으로 측정되어 광평옥 모계(9.34mg/g dw)와 부계(9.36mg/g dw) 및 이 들의 F1(9.14mg/g dw)보다 총 단백질 함량이 높은 계통으로 판명되었다. Cross-validation test에서 옥수수 종자 내 총 단백질 함량예측 PLS regression model의 regression coefficient(R2) 는 0.77로 비교적 정확하게 총 단백질 함량예측이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 PLS regression model을 이용하여 단백질 함량이 높은 사일리지 옥수수 계통의 선발이 가능할 것으로 기대되며, 더 나아가 다양 한 옥수수 계통의 신속한 대사체 수준 평가가 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

목 적: 단백질 침전물이 콘택트렌즈의 함수율, 산소투과성 및 접촉각에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 방 법: Polymacon과 etafilcon A 재질의 소프트콘택트렌즈를 착용기간에 따라 수집하여 단백질 침전물을 추출하고 fluorometer를 이용하여 단백질 침전물을 정량하였다. 사용하지 않은 polymacon과 etafilcon A 콘택트렌즈를 lysozyme과 albumin 단백질이 포함된 인공눈물에 넣어 일정하게 단백질을 부착시키고 부착된 단백질 침전물을 정량한후 중량측정법, 전기분해 자동분석법 및 sessile drop 방법을 사용하여 함수율, 산소투과성 및 접촉각을 측정하여 대조군과 비교하였다. 결 과: Polymacon 재질의 콘택트렌즈에 부착된 단백질 침전물 양은 착용기간에 따라 차이가 없었으나, etafilcon A 재질의 콘택트렌즈는 착용기간에 따라 빠르게 증가하였다. 일정하게 단백질을 부착시킨 소프트 렌즈의 경우 함수율은 polymacon 렌즈와 etafilcon A 렌즈에서 모두 감소하였고, 산소투과성도 polymacon 렌즈와 etafilcon A 렌즈에서 모두 감소하였으며 접촉각은 polymacon 렌즈와 etafilcon A 렌즈에서 모두 증가하였다. 결 론: 소프트콘택트렌즈에 부착된 단백질 침전물은 렌즈의 함수율과 산소투과성을 저하시키고 접촉각을 증가시켜 콘택트렌즈 착용 시 불편감을 유발하는 원인이 될 수 있으며 특히 고함수 이온성 재질인 etafilcon A의 경우 더욱 문제가 될 것으로 사료된다.

‘새단백’은 고단백 다수성 콩 신품종육성을 목표로 ‘보광콩’과 ‘수원193호’를 교배한 계통을 다시 단백질 고함유자원인 ‘MD87L’을 모본으로 하여 1999년에 교배하여 계통육종법으로 육성한 품종으로 2010년 12월 농작물직무육성신품종선정위원회에서 국가목록등재품종으로 선정됨과 동시에 ‘새단백’으로 명명하였다. ‘새단백’의 개화기는 ‘대원콩’보다 3일 늦으며, 성숙기는 10월 5일경으로 7일 빨라 등숙기간이 10일 정도 더 짧다. 경장은 64 cm로 ‘대원콩’보다 다소 작으며 도복에 강하고 불마름병에 저항성이며 바이러스와 종자병해에 강하였으나 뿌리썩음병에는 약한 편이었다. 조단백 함량은 ‘대원콩’보다 8.9% 높은 고단백 품종으로, ‘단백콩’보다 연차간 단백질 함량의 변이가 적고, 두부수율과 순두부응고력이 높으며 두부의 물성이 양호하여 두부 가공적성이 우수하다. ‘새단백’의 종실 100립중은 20.7 g으로 ‘대원콩’보다 약 4 g 가벼우나 ‘단백콩’보다 5.7 g 무거운 중립종이며, 수량성은 2.53 MT/ha로 표준품종인 ‘대원콩’에 비해 9% 감소하였으나 ‘단백콩’과는 비슷하였다.

Sorghum seed is traditionally used as health supplements and the secondary food mixed with rice in Korea. While the research of reserve protein in sorghum seed have been carried out in many countries used as major food, much less is known about reserve proteins of Korean local sorghum seeds. To obtain protein characteristics in 20 Korean local sorghum seed, quantitative content of reserve protein was determined after fractionation by modified ‘Osbone’ method and α-kafirin of prolamin was determined by SDSPAGE. Mean albumin, globulin, prolamin and glutelin contents based on total seed protein content of 20 Korean local sorghum seed were 6.2%, 0.9%, 57.9% and 35.1%, respectively. Sorghum cultivar with high prolamin were ‘Whin-susu’, ‘Whin-Chalsusu’, ‘Whanggeum-Chalsusu’, and ‘Daepungshushu’. Sorghum cultivar with high α-kafirin were ‘Whin-susu’, ‘Geumsan-Chalsusu’, ‘Whin-Chalsusu’, and ‘Jangmok-susu’. Among the 20 varieties, ‘Whin-susu’ and ‘Whin-Chalsusu’ were selected as high α -kafirin and prolamin sorghum cultivar, which showed 64.5 and 71.9% of prolamin contents, respectively.

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] protein is excellent nutritional factors and is widely used for human and animal feed in the world. Glycinin(11S globulin) and ß-conglycinin(7S globulin) account for storage protein from 70% to 80% in soybean seed. ß-conglycinin is composed of α’, α and ß subunits, encoded by the genes Cgy1, Cgy2, and Cgy3, respectively. β-conglycinin protein exhibits poor nutritional and food processing properties. Lipoxygenase is responsible for the beany flavor and is responsible for the inferior nutritional quality of unheated or incompletely heated soybean meal. The objective of this research was to select F2 seeds with lipoxygenase-free and low content of ß-conglycinin for breeding of high quality soybean cultivar. A total of 582 F2 seeds were obtained from the cross of 10F1(lipoxygenase-free, normal content of 7S protein) and T311(lipoxygenase-present, low content of 7S protein). Lipoxygenase and 7S proteins in mature seeds were detected by SDS-PAGE. The segregation ratio of 3 : 1 for Shr locus (418 Shr_ : 164 shrshr) were observed. This result shows that the Shr locus is controlled by a single gene. Among 164 shriveled seeds, 6 F2 seeds with lipoxygenase-free, α’ subunit-free, and low content of α and ß subunit were selected. Among 418 normal seeds, 6 F2 seeds with lipoxygenase-free, α’ subunit-free, and low content of α and ß subunit were selected. These results will be used in breeding program for improving high quality soybean cultivar.

논을 밭으로 1년 전환 후 다시 논으로 복원한 논에서의 벼의 생육촉진 및 질소흡수 증가의 효과를 살펴보기 위하여 복원논 1년 및 2년차인 2006년 및 2007년에 복원논 및 연작논을 대상으로 질소비료를 0, 3, 6 kg 10a1 시용하여 벼의 생육량, 질소흡수량, 쌀의 수량 및 단백질 함량 등을 조사하였는데 결과는 다음과 같다. 연작논에 비해 복원논에서 복원 1년 및 2년차 모두 벼의 초기생육이 크게 증가하여 유수형성기 건물중 및 질소함량이 증가하였으며, 복원논에서도 질소시비량 증가에 따라 건물중 및 질소량이 증가하여 질소시비량 6 kg 10a1까지 질소시비 효과가 뚜렷이 나타났는데, 복원논 1년차 및 2년차의 질소무비구의 건물중 및 질소흡수량은 각각 연작논의 질소시비량 6 및 3 kg 10a1와 동일한 값을 나타내었다. 수확기에서의 벼의 건물중 및 질소흡수량도 유수형성기와 비슷한 경향을 보였으며, 질소시비 방법으로는 같은 량의 질소시비량이라도 전량을 기비로 시용한 것보다 유수형성기에 추비로 3 kg 10a1를 시용한구가 질소흡수량이 다소 높았다. 수량구성요소에서는 연작논에 비해 복원논에서 벼의 수당립수가 증가하는 경향이었으며, 질소시비량이 많아질수록 등숙율이 감소하였는데, 특히 질소흡수량이 많았던 복원논-질소시비량 6 kg 10a1 구에서의 등숙비율이 많이 감소하였다. 벼의 수량도 복원논이 연작논에 비해 복원 1년차 및 2년차 모두 연작논보다 증가하였는데, 복원 1년차는 질소시비량간 벼수량의 차이가 없었지만, 복원 2년차에는 무질소시비구에서 벼의 수량이 다소 감소하였다. 현미 및 백미의 단백질 함량은 복원논이 연작논보다, 질소시비량이 증대할수록 높아졌는데, 질소시비방법에서는 질소시비량 모두 3, 6 kg 10a1 모두 유수형성기에서 추비로 3 kg 10a1를 준 구에서 높아 질소흡수량이 많은 복원논에서 질소를 추비로 줄 때 단백질함량이 증대할 위험성이 높았다.
