Abstract

유제품, 김치 및 신생아 분변 등에서 유산균을 분리하여 우유 casein을 분해시켜 배양상등액에 존재하는 serine의 함량을 측정함으로써 간접적으로 CPP 생산을 평가하였다. CPP 생산 능력은 OPA방법으로 측정했을 때 E. faecalis A-2 균주가 1.244 mg/mL로 가장 많은 peptide를 생산 하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 유산균의 경우, 세포내 효소와 세포외 효소로 각각 나누어 proteolytic 활성을 평가한 결과 세포내 효소에 의한 proteolytic 활성은 E. faecalis A-6 균주가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 세포외 효소에 의한 proteolytic 활성은 L. plantarum A-14 균주에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 가용성 칼슘함량은 Leuconostoc mesenteroides A-1(11 mg/dL), E. durans A-16(10.481 mg/dL), 그리고 L. planatarum A-3(10.356 mg/dL) 균주의 경우에는 대조구보다 높은 유리 칼슘함량을 나타내었다. 따라서 이러한 유산균을 이용한다면 소장 내에서 칼슘 흡수를 극대화시킬수 있는 장점이 있어 이들 유산균을 이용한 고칼슘 제품 개발이 가능할 것이다. Casein phosphopeptide (CPP) enhances calcium absorption in humans. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are capable of synthesis of cell-surface proteinase, which can hydrolyze milk protein and release several types of peptides in the medium. This study was conducted to characterize proteinase of LAB and to evaluate the CPP production from bovine milk. The content of CPP of milk produced by cell-free extract of LAB was determined based on the quantity of decomposed peptide from casein using the O-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) method. The proteolytic activity of LAB was assayed using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled casein. Casein appeared to be a better substrate than whey proteins for extracellular proteinases of LAB. During fermentation, milk proteins were hydrolyzed by extracellular proteinase of LAB, resulting in an increase in the amount of free <TEX>$NH_3$</TEX> groups. Overall, the results presented here indicate that CPP produced by LAB may be a promising material for novel applications in the dairy industry.
