Citric acid is an organic acid used in various industries, and its demand is steadily increasing. Citric acid is primarily obtained via recovery processes, such as the separation and purification of the fermentation broth obtained from microbial fermentation. Various technologies have been developed for the recovery processes, such as solvent extraction, ion exchange resins, and electromembrane separation, with a primary focus on precipitation methods. This study examines citric acid recovery technologies that are both commercially available and are being developed and suggests directions for the development of more efficient and eco-friendly recovery technologies, particularly for recycling waste citric acid solutions.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the fatty acid composition, antioxidant activity, and the content of two major phenolic acids, caffeic and rosmarinic acids, of 45 Perilla accessions collected from Russia. Methods and Results: A total of 45 accessions of the genus Perilla were used in this study. The antioxidant activities of these accessions were analyzed using a spectrophotometer, and their caffeic and rosmarinic acid contents were determined using a reversedphase ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC) system. The Perilla seed oil was recovered using hexane in a soxhlet extraction method. The fatty acid compositions were analyzed using a Shimadzu QP2010 gas chromatography-mass spectoroscopy system. The results showed that accessions IT226732 and IT274300 had the highest content of caffeic and rosmarinic acid, respectively. A cluster analysis based on antioxidant assay results and concentration of phenolic acids led to the categorization of Perilla accessions into three major groups. The accessions in Group I were characterized by higher caffeic and rosmarinic acid content and antioxidant activity, compared to the accessions in the other two groups (p < 0.05). The total oil content ranged between 28.39 and 46.89%. The compositions of oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acid ranged from 11.83 to 19.55%, 11.92 to 16.71%, and 59.19 to 67.28%, respectively. Conclusions: The results of this study indicated that accessions IT274300, IT226732, IT274293, IT235818, and IT235820 could be used as a source of functional materials.

본 실험은 오리 가슴육의 저장성 향상에 대안을 마련하고자 차염소산나트륨 20, 50ppm, lactic acid와 acetic acid를 각각 1, 2%를 분무 살포한 후 진공포장지로 포장하여 4℃에서 7일간 저장을 하면서, 소독제 및 유기산 처리에 따른 오리육의 육색, 저장특성 및 미생물 증식에 대하여 조사하였다. 오리육의 차염소산나트륨 20～50ppm 및 유기산(lactic acid, acetic acid)을 1～2% 처리 후 1일이 경과했을 때 pH는 5.83～5.87로 처리 간에 큰 차이가 없었고, 저장기간에 따라서는 저장 3일까지 증가하는 경향을 나타내다 점차 감소하였다. 지방산패도(TBARS)는 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 차염소산나트륨 처리구보다 유기산 처리구(lactic acid와 acetic acid)에서 감소하는 경향이 크게 나타났으며, 특히 acetic acid 2% 처리구에서 감소율이 컸다. 비 단백질태 질소화합물(VBN)은 저장기간이 경과할수록 증가하였으나, 차염소산나트륨 및 유기산의 종류와 처리 수준에 따라서는 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 육색 변화는 lactic acid 2% 처리 구에서 적색도(a*) 및 황색도(b*)가 약간씩 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 소독제 및 유기산 처리에 따른 총 미생물 수는 저장기간이 경과할수록 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으나, 유기산 처리구 중 acetic acid 처리구가 저장 기간 중 미생물 증가율이 가장 낮았으며, 특히 acetic acid 2% 처리 구에서 낮은 증가율을 나타내었다.

This study was performed to extend the shelf-life of duck breast treated with NaCIO(20, 50ppm), lactic acid(1, 2%) and acetic acid(1, 2%). Changes in microbial counts, storage characteristics and color values of duck breasts were determined during storage at 4℃ for 7 days. Although pH values were not different on the first day of storage. they increased up to 3rd days of storage and decreased gradually thereafter. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) of duck breasts treated with lactic acid and acetic acids were lower TBARS than those with lactic acid on the 7th days of storage. Volatile basic nitrogen(VBN) didn't differ among the treatments(P>0.05). Although the microbial counts were increased in all treatments, acetic acid treatment had lower microbial counts among the treatments during storage. These results indicated that acetic acid would be the best treatment to extend the shelf-life of duck breasts among others.

Haugh unit는 lectin 처리구가 가장 높았으며 모든 첨가구들이 대조구보다 높았다. Leukocytes 중 SI는 lectin 처리구가 가장 높았다(P<0.05). Erythrocytes 중 RBC, HB, MCHC는 lectin 처리구가 가장 높았으며 MOS 처리구가 가장 낮았다(P<0.05). 장내 미생물에서는 처리구간에 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 Lactobacilli 수는 대조구보다 첨가구들이 높은 경향이 있었고 Cl. perfringens 수는 Organic acid F를 제외한 모든 첨가구들이 대조구보다 낮은 경향이 있었다. 혈청 IgG 농도는 MOS 처리구가 가장 높았으며 모든 첨가구들이 대조구보다 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05). 결론적으로 본 시험에서 사용된 면역조절제(MOS, Lectin)와 유기산제는 산란계에서 항생제(Avilamycin??)와 유사한 생산성을 나타내어 항생제 대체제로서 산란계의 생산성을 효과적으로 개선 할 수 있으며 특히 이중에서 MOS의 생산성 개선효과가 가장 높았다.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of MOS, lectin and organic acid mixture(Organic acid F, Organic acid G) on the egg production, egg quality, profile of leukocytes and erythrocytes, small intestinal microflora and immune response in laying hens. A total of 900 Hy-line Brownⓡ laying hens of 48 wks old were assigned to one of the following 6 dietary treatments:control(C), C+Avillamycinⓡ 6ppm, C+MOS 250ppm, C+lectin 12.5ppm, C+Organic acid F(formic acid 35.4%, formate 34.6%, potassium 30.0%) 0.3% and C+0rgarnic acid G(fumaric acid 23%, calcium formate 14%, potassium sorbate 5%, calcium propionate 7%) 0.06%. Each treatment was replicated five times with thirty birds per replicate, housed in 2 bird cages. Feeding trial lasted for 6 wks under 16 hours lighting regimen. All supplemental groups were higher than the control in 6 wks hen-day and hen-housed egg production showing the highest with MOS treatment(P<0.05). Soft & broken egg productions were lower in supplemental groups than in the control except lectin treatment(P<0.05). Eggyolk color of supplemental groups was higher than that of the control except Organic acid G treatment(P<0.05). The values of RBC, HB, MCHC were highest in lectin treatment and lowest in MOS treatment(P<0.05). The numbers of intestinal microflora were not significantly different among the treatments. Serum IgG levels of all supplemental groups were higher than those of the control(P<0.05). In conclusion, for supplementation of antibiotics, immune modulators and organic acid mixture improved production parameters in general. Among the supplements, MOS showed the best performance in egg production and eggyolk color.

Cholestatic liver disease is a frequent complication of prolonged parenteral nutrition, especially in premature infants. Numerous factors have been cited as contributing to TPN associated cholestasis. However the exact etiology remains obscure. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) has been reported to be beneficial far children and adults with various chronic cholestatic liver disease. The aim of this prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was to determine the preventive effects of UDCA administration during TPN. Seventeen pediatric patients (8 boys and 9 girls) undergoing TPN were assigned randomly to two groups, UDCA and placebo group. UDCA group (n=9) received 15 mg/kg/day UDCA and placebo group (n=8) received 15 mg/kg/day placebo enterally during the TPN period. Liver function tests (total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase) were per-formed before TPN and weekly or three times a week. The patients' weights, complete blood count, composition of TPN, and the infusion rate of TPN and lipid were monitored everyday. Calcium and phosphate were monitored twice a week. Between the UDCA and placebo groups, there were no differences in weight at the onset of TPN, birth weight, duration of TPN, respiratory distress syndrome associated with prematurity, age at the onset of TPN, gestational age, the number of days the patients received antibiotics, the number of patients received enteral nutritions and the composition of TPN. In contrast, there was a significant difference between the UDCA and placebo groups in alanine aminotransferase levels during TPN. It doesn't seem that UDCA administration during TPN correlates directly with improvement of liver function. But the preventive administration of UDCA may be effective in reducing liver enzyme, alanine aminotransferase and has no adverse effects.

Ursolic acid, triterpenoid compound has been shown to stimulate osteoblast differentiation and enhance bone formation. In the present study, we examined the effects of similar triterpenoid compounds, oleanolic acid (OA) and its derivatives, such as oleanolic acid acetate (OAA) and oleanolic acetate methyl ester (OAM) on the bone formation in MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells. We determined cellular proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization, and expression of osteoblast specific genes and mitogen activated protein kinase phosphorylation. Treatment of 0.1-10μM OA,OAA, and OAM increased cellular proliferation, but not significantly increased as compared with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). OA, OAA, and OAM at 5uM concentration enhanced ALP expression, mineralization, and osteocalcin (OCN)mRNA level. In conclusion, OA and its derivatives stimulated the osteoblast differentiation by increasing ALP, mineralization,and OCN mRNA expression. However, there were no significantly difference on osteoblast differentiation among treatment of OA, OAA, and OAM.

The current study was undertaken to determine the effect of retinoic acid(RA) on differentiation and gene expression of pig preadipocytes. The preadipocytes were isolated from the backfat of the new-born pigs. RA was treated to the cultured cells for 4 days and RNA was extracted from the cells. Isolated RNA went through in situ hybridization using the 14,688-gene cDNA microarray chip. Degree of cell differentiation was determined by measuring glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. RA decreased differentiation of pig preadipocytes by 78%. Fourteen genes were significantly up-regulated by RA, including genes known to be involved in lipid metabolism, particulary sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, apolipoprotein R precursor, growth factor receptor-bound protein 14, retinoic acid receptor RXR gamma. However, the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor D precursor and growth hormone receptor precursor genes playing a central role in cell growth, was greatly decreased. These results suggest that RA inhibits differentiation of pig preadiocytes by regulation of gene expression of the growth factor or growth hormone receptor.

The current study was undertaken to determine the effects of retinoic acid(RA) on differentiation of pig preadipocyes. Pig preadipocytes were isolated from the backfat of new-born pigs with collagenase digestion. The isolated cells were seeded on MEM/F12 media and washed one day after seeding(day 0). Ten μM RA treated on day 0~2, day 2~4 and day 4~6 decreased differentiation of pig preadipocytes(P<0.01) with the highest inhibition found on day 0~2 treatment. One, 5 and 10μM of RA showed inhibitory action on differentiation in dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effects of RA on proliferation of pig preadipocytes were smaller, compared to the effects on differentiation.

본 연구에서는 caprylic acid와 cyclodextrin과의 complex(CA-CD complex)의 첨가수준이 in vitro 반추위 발효 성상과 메탄 생성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. CA-CD complex 무첨가구를 대조구로 설정 하였으며, 처리구로는 CA 20mg 단독 첨가구(T1), CD 830mg 단독 첨가구(T2), CA-CD complex 425mg 첨가구(T3, CA 함량 10mg), CA-CD complex 850mg 첨가구(T4, CA 함량 20mg), CA-CD complex 1700 mg 첨가구(T5, CA 함량 40mg)이며, 3반복으로 4, 8, 12시간의 배양 실험을 수행하였다. 모든 시험구에서 배양 12시간까지 pH가 지속적으로 감소하였다. 특히, 배양 8시간 후부터 T2, T3, T4, T5 처리구에서 대조구보다 유의적으로 감소하였다(P<0.05). Total VFA 농도는 대조구에 비해 T2, T3, T4, T5구들이 8시간과 12시간에서 유의적(P<0.05)으로 감소하였다. Propionate 농도는 배양 8시간에서만 다른 처리구보다 T4, T5 처리구가 유의적(P<0.05)으로 높게 나타났다. Acetate:Propionate(A/P) 비율은 모든 배양시간에서 처리구간 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 암모니아 농도는 대조구에 비해 T2, T3, T4, T5 처리구에서 배양 4시간부터 대조구보다 암모니아 농도가 유의적(P<0.05)으로 감소하였다. Total gas는 T1구에서 대조구보다 유의적(P< 0.05)인 감소가 있었으나, T2, T3, T4, T5 처리구에서는 대조구에 비하여 12시간에서 유의적(P<0.05)으로 증가하였다. Total gas 발생량에 대한 메탄 비율(%)은 12시간 배양시간에서 대조구는 3.4%이었지만, 메탄 발생량이 가장 적었던 T1구는 2.8%, 메탄 발생량이 가장 많았던 T2구는 5.1%, 그리고 T3, T4, T5구는 평균 2.7%로 T1구와 통계적 차이가 없었다. 따라서 CA-CD complex를 이용하면, 반추위내 발효에 부정적 영향 없이 메탄을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary addition of caprylic acid(CA)-cyclodextrin (CD) complex on in vitro fermentation characteristics, total gas and methane production. Experiment was done with six treatment groups; 1) no CA-CD complex(control), 2) CA 20 mg(T1), 3) CD 830 mg(T2), 4) CA-CD complex 425 mg(T3), CA-CD complex 850mg(T4), CA-CD complex 1,700 mg(T5). Ruminal pH, ammonia and total VFA concentrations of T2, T3, T4 and T5 were lower(P<0.05) than those of control and T1 for the 12h incubation. The increase in molar percentage of propionate was observed in T4 and T5 compared with control and T2 for the 8h incubation(P<0.05), however, the ratio of acetate to propionate was unchanged in all treatments. Total gas of T1 was lower than that of control, but T2, T3, T4 and T5 were higher compared with control for 12h incubation(P<0.05). If the methane ratio (as %) to total gas for all treatments was compared, T3, T4 and T5(CA-CD supplemented groups) averaged 2.7% whereas control, T1 and T2 showed 3.4, 2.8 and 5.1%, respectively. Therefore, according to these results, it might be concluded that supplementation of CA-CD complex could reduce methane production without disrupting ruminal fermentation.

국내 장산지역의 점토에 함유되어 있는 철분을 제거하기 위하여 수산에 의한 탈철실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 광액농도가 낮을수록 그리고 반응온도가 높을수록 철의 탈철속도 및 탈철율이 증가하고 있으며, 점토의 입자크기가 작은경우(-100mesh)가 입자가 큰 경우보다(16/100mesh)경우보다 탈철효과가 더 양호하게 나타나고 있다. 한편 수산농도의 경우 농도가 증가함에 따라 탈철속도 및 탈철율이 반대로 감소하고 있다. 대체로 장산지역 점토를 100mesh 이하로 마광한 후 광액농도 200g/ , 교반속도 500rpm, 온도와 수산의 농도는 각각 100 및 0.19M 정도로 하여 침출하면, 탈철율은 96% 정도로 정광중 Fe2O3 함량은 0.05wt.% 정도로 감소하고 백색도는 69에서 89로 증가하고 있으며, 알루미늄은 거의 침출되지 않았다.

Leaching of iron with oxalic acid was conducted so as to remove the iron from domestic clay of Jang San area. The effect of oxalic acid concentration, solid density, and reaction temperature on the leaching of iron from clay of Jang San area was investigated. It was found that high reaction temperature as well as low solid density was appropriate for high leaching efficiency of iron. However, as far as the effect of oxalic acid on the leaching of iron was concerned, high concentration of oxalic acid was observed to suppress the leaching of iron from clay. When clay of Jang San area of -100mesh was leached at 100 with oxalic acid of 0.19M, the content of Fe2O3 was reduced from 1.06wt.% to 0.05wt.% and the whiteness was enhanced from 69 to 89 while the leaching of aluminum from clay was not found.

폐리튬이온전지로부터 추출한 LiCoO2의 침출에서 황산, 질산과 같은 강산은 Co와 Li을 완전 용해시키므로 Co와 Li을 분리하여 회수하기 위해서는 별도의 공정이 필요하다. 낮은 pH에서 Co oxalate의 용해도가 낮다는 점을 착안한 oxalic acid 침출에서 양극활 물질로부터 Co를 선택적으로 회수하는 연구를 수행하였다. 변수실험으로 도출된 최적조건, oxalic acid 3M, 침출온도 80oC, 초기 광 액농도 50 g/L의 조건에서 순수한 LiCoO2를 침출한 결과, Li이 95% 이상 용해되는 반면에 Co는 1% 이하의 침출율을 나타내었다. 같 은 침출조건에서 폐리튬이온전지로부터 선별한 양극활물질을 침출한 결과, Co와 Li의 침출율은 각각 0.25%, 99%로 높은 선택성을 보였다. 용액 중에 잔류하는 Li은 Na2CO3 혹은 LiOH을 첨가하여 Li 탄산염 혹은 Li 수산화물의 형태로 회수할 수 있다.

In the leaching of LiCoO2 with a strong acid such as sulfuric and nitric acid, an additional step was needed to recover cobalt and lithium separately from spent lithium ion batteries (LIBs). The leaching of LiCoO2 in an oxalic acid solution was investigated to recover cobalt selectively using a low solubility of cobalt oxalate at low pH. Leaching efficiency of 95% of lithium and less than 1% of cobalt were obtained when pure LiCoO2 powder was leached in 3M oxalic acid at 80oC and 50 g/L pulp density. Under the above leaching conditions, complete dissolution of lithium was accomplished with mere 0.25% of cobalt in the solution when the cathodic active material collected from spent LIBs was employed. The lithium in the leaching solution can be recovered as a form of carbonate or hydroxide depending on the addition of Na2CO3 or LiOH.

FASN g.17924G>A의 GG 유전자형과 ACACA g.2274A>G의 GG 유전자형의 조합을 가진 개체는 다른 유전자형 조합을 가진 개체보다 높은 도체중과 근내지방도를 발현하는 개체인 것으로 관찰되었다(P<0.05). 본 연구의 결과는 두 유전자내의 단일염기변이들을 육량과 육질이 우수한 송아지 생산에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the combined effect of fatty acid synthase(FASN) and Acetyl CoA Carboxylase-α (ACACA) genes on carcass traits of Korean cattle(Hanwoo). A total of 1,057 commercial Hanwoo cattle provided by the NongHyup Livestock Research Center(NLRC) and Hanwoo Performance Competition(HPC) were used to analyze the effect of four single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) within FASN(g.11280A>G, g.16024A>G, g.16039T>C, and g.17924A>G) and one SNP within ACACA(g.2274G>A) genes. In addition, the effect of genotypic combinations between FASN(g.17924A>G) and ACACA(g.2274G>A) SNPs has been studied with carcass traits. Significant associations were identified between g.17924A>G of FASN and carcass weight and back fat, and between the ACACA gene SNP g.2274G>A and longissimus muscle area with HPC samples. It was also found that both effects of FASN g.17924A>G and ACACA g.2274G>A polymorphisms were consistent in NLRC samples. Combined analyses of both NLRC and HPC samples also revealed the significant associations between the FASN g.17924A>G and carcass weight and back fat and between the ACACA g.2274G>A and back fat, respectively. The effect of the genotypic combination of g.17924A>G within FASN and g.2274G>A within ACACA genes showed that the combination of both GG genotypes of FASN and ACACA SNPs causes higher carcass weight and marbling score. The results of this study indicate that the two SNP markers within the FASN and ACACA genes can be utilized to select superior Hanwoo cows and calves in commercial Hanwoo farms.

FASN 반수체형 1번(-GCG-), 반수체형 2번(-ATG-)와 반수체형 4번(-ACG-)는 한우집단에서 형질과의 유의적인 연관성을 관찰 할 수 없었으나 FASN 반수체형 3번(-GTA-)은 도체중과 연관성을 보였다(P=0.0327). 염색체상 반수체형 -GTA-‐구조를 가지지 않은 동형접합체(0-copies)인 개체의 도체중은 354.70+3.58로 나타났으며, 반수체형 -GTA- 구조를 하나만 가지는 이형접합체(1-copies) 347.63+4.84으로 관찰되었으며 0-copies인 동형접합체보다 현저히 낮은 도체중을 나타내었다. 또한 반수체형 -GTA- 구조를 가지는 동형접합체(2-copies)인 개체는 22두가 나타났으며 도체중은 351.01+4.18로 0-copies 인 동형접합체 보다 낮은 도체중을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과는 소 FASN 유전자내의 g.11280G>A, g. 13125T>C와 g.17924G>A 변이들은 육질 뿐만 아니라 육량에도 관여하는 것으로 사료되며, FASN 유전자내의 g.11280G>A와 g.17924G>A 두 개의 단일염기변이는 한우개량사업소의 씨숫소의 유전자 마커를 통한 도움 선발(marker assisted selection, MAS)에 이용 될 수 있을 것이며 일반농가에서도 송아지 생산을 위한 암소 선발에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A previous study has shown that the g.17924G>A polymorphism of fatty acid synthase(FASN) is associated with unsaturated fatty acid composition in the Hanwoo beef, hence this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) within FASN gene on the selection phenotypes of Hanwoo breeding stock. A total of 925 progeny test steers were used to genotype g.11280G>A, g.13125T>C,and g.17924G>A polymorphisms and significant associations were found among g.11280G>A, g.17924G>A, and carcass traits, such as carcass weight, backfat thickness, and beef quantity index. No significant association was found between g.13125T>C and carcass traits. Although the degree of linkage disequilibrium(LD) was not strong among g.11280G>A, g.13125T>C, and g.17924G>A in the LD analysis, four major haplotype classes were formed with the genotypic information within the FASN gene; the frequencies of the halpotypeswere -GCG-[0.378], -ATG-[0.301], -GTA-[0.191], and -ACG-[0.063], respectively. Phenotypic association was performed among these haploptypes, and the haplotype 2(-ATG-)was significantly associated with higher carcass weight when compared to the other haplotypes, i.e. haplotype 1(-GCG-) and haplotype 3(-GTA-). A copy number of the FASN haplotype 3(-GTA-) had also a significant association with carcass weight of subjects. In conclusion, it was observed that two polymorphisms(g.11280G>A and g.17924G>A) and their haplotypes within the FASN gene are consistently associated with carcass traits. Therefore, it is desirable to use the FASN polymorphisms for pre-selection program as genetic marker with improved carcass yield and beef quality of the Hanwoo sire at the Hanwoo Improvement Center as well as for commercial Hanwoo producers, the FASN genotypic information can be used for a part of selecting Hanwoo dam for superior calf production.

CLA는 alkaline isomerization 방법으로 식용유를 이용하여 화학적으로 합성하였으며, CLA- TG는 sodium methoxide를 이용하여 화학적으로 합성하였다. 일반적인 프레스햄을 대조구로 설정하고, CLA-TG 첨가수준을 달리하여 4 처리구로 설정하였으며, 첨가되는 등지방 중량에 대하여 처리구별로 5%(처리구 1), 10%(처리구 2), 15%(처리구 3), 20%(처리구 4)를 대체하여 프레스햄을 제조한 후 진공포장하여 냉장온도(4℃)에서 1, 7, 14, 21 및 28일간 저장하면서 전단가, 관능적 특성분석, 지방산화 및 지방산조성 변화 등을 조사하여 품질 특성을 규명하고자 실시하였다. 전단가는 처리구간의 비교에서 저장 21일까지 대조구가 CLA-TG 처리구에 비하여 유의적으로 높은 전단가를 보였다(P<0.05). 저장기간의 경과에 따른 변화에서는 전 처리구가 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 전단가가 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 관능검사 항목인 제품색, 향기, 조직감 및 전체적인 기호성은 대조구와 CLA-TG 처리구간에 유의적인 차이가 없었으며, 저장기간에 따른 제품의 제품색, 향기, 조직감 및 전체적인 기호성 변화는 모든 처리구가 저장기간이 경과하여도 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 지방산화는 전 저장기간동안 대조구에 비하여 CLA-TG 처리구가 낮았으며, 특히 저장 7, 21, 28일째는 유의적으로 낮은 지방산화를 보였다(P<0.05). 저장기간에 따른 지방산화 값의 변화는 대조구와 CLA-TG 처리구 모두 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 지방산 조성 및 CLA 함량은 대조구에 비하여 CLA-TG 처리구가 C14:0～C20:4 지방산 함량이 유의적으로 감소하였다(P<0.05). CLA 함량은 CLA-TG를 첨가하지 않은 대조구는 CLA가 검출되지 않았지만 CLA-TG 처리구에서는 CLA-TG 대체수준이 증가할수록 제품내 축적율이 직선적으로 증가하였다. 불포화지방산 함량은 CLA-TG 첨가수준이 증가할수록 유의적으로 증가하였다(P<0.05). 이상의 결과 프레스햄 제조시 CLA-TG의 첨가는 관능적 특성에 영향을 미치지 않으며, 제품의 저장기간을 연장 및 CLA를 축적시키는 것이 가능하여 고급 육제품 생산이 가능하다고 사료된다.

CLA was chemically synthesized by alkaline isomerization method using corn oil. CLA-TG was synthesized by chemical reaction using sodium methoxide. For the control, 10% of back fat among the total component was only added without the annex of CLA-TG. For the first treatment, 5% of CLA-TG among the lard component added into the press ham was replaced. For the 2nd, 3rd and 4rd treatments, 10%, 15% and 20% of CLA-TG was respectively replaced. Manufacture press ham using CLA-TG were vacuum packaged and then stored during 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days at 4℃. Samples were analyzed for shear force value, sensory evaluation, TBARS, fatty acid composition and CLA content. Shear force value of control was significantly higher than that of CLA-TG treatment groups(P<0.05). All treatments were increased by the passage of storage time. No remarkable differences were found in sensory properties among control and CLA-TG treatment groups. CLA-TG treatment groups showed significantly(P<0.05) lower TBARS value than the control. TBARS value was increased significantly during storage in all treatment. In the change of fatty acid composition, the contents of C14:0～C20:4 were decreased significantly by CLA-TG additive. Whereas the increase level of CLA-TG additive resulted in the significantly higher unsaturated fatty acid and CLA content. Summing up the a forementioned results, press ham manufacturing with CLA-TG additive was not affected in sensory evaluation. Also, it may be assumed that the high quality press ham can be manufactured with the extent of storage period and CLA accumulation.

본 연구는 여러 CLA 이성체, 즉 cis-9, cis- 11(c9c11), cis-9, trans-11(c9t11), trans-9, trans-11 (t9t11) 및 trans-10, cis-12(t10c12)가 배양 중인 돼지 지방세포와 근육세포의 분화와 증식에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 세포는 신생자돈으로부터 분리했다. t10c12 이성체는 지방세포의 분화를 억제했는데(92%) 근육세포의 분화는 억제시키지 않았다. t9t11 이성체는 지방세포의 분화를 억제했는데(14%), 근육세포의 분화는 촉진시켰다(26%). 다른 CLA 이성체는 지방세포나 근육세포의 분화에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그리고 CLA가 지방세포와 근육세포의 증식에 미치는 영향은 분화에 미치는 영향에 비해서 작았다. 위의 결과는 여러 CLA 이성체는 돼지 지방세포와 근육세포의 분화에 다른 영향을 미침을 나타낸다.

The current study was undertaken to determine the effect of conjugated linoleic acid(CLA) isomers, cis-9, cis-11(c9c11), cis-9, trans-11(c9t11), trans-9, trans-11(t9t11), trans-10, cis-12(t10c12) on differentiation of pig preadipocytes and myogenic satellite cells during culture. Cells were isolated from new born pigs. The t10c12 isomer decreased differentiation of pig preadipocytes(92%), but not that of myogenic cells. The t9t11 isomer decreased differentiation of preadipocytes(14%) and increased that of myogenic cells (26%). No other CLA isomers affected differentiation of preadipocytes or myogenic cells. The effects of CLA on proliferation of preadipocytes and myogenic cells were small, compared to the effects on differentiation. These results suggest that CLA isomers have different effects on differentiaton of pig preadipocytes and myogenic cells.

CLA를 이용한 고품질 기능성 육계의 생산 가능성을 알아보기 위해 첨가수준과 급여기간에 따른 부위별 CLA 축적율과 지방산 조성 및 지방산패도를 분석하였다. CLA 축적율은 첨가수준이 증가할수록 유의적으로(P<0.05) 증가하였으며, 급여기간에 따라서도 다소 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 급여 1주와 급여 2주 및 3주의 비교에서 큰 차이는 나타나지 않았다. CLA 첨가수준에 따른 포화지방산은 증가하는 경향을 보였지만, 불포화 지방산은 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 특히 CLA와 가장 비슷한 구조를 가지고 있는 linoleic acid(C18:2)는 CLA 함량이 증가한 만큼 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. CLA 첨가수준에 따른 지방산패도의 변화는 첨가수준이 증가함에 따라 낮게 나타났으며, 대조구에 비해 처리구가 낮게 나타났다. 이상의 결론은 근육내 CLA 축적을 극대화 시키기 위한 최적의 급여기간은 1주이며, 지방산패도의 효과적인 억제를 위해서 첨가수준 4.8%가 가장 적합하다는 것을 나타낸다.

A total of 180 Arbor Acre broilers (35 days of age) were fed a diet containing 0%, 0.6%, 1.2%, 1.8%, 2.4% or 4.8% conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) for 3 weeks then slaughtered at week 1, 2 and 3. Thigh and breast muscles were seamed out, vaccum-packed prior to storage in a chill for days 7 to analyse thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). The accumulation of CLA in breast and thigh muscles was increased significantly (P<0.05) as the CLA level was increased, but no significant difference amongst the treatments. The contents of saturated fatty acids were significantly increased(P<0.05) with an increase of dietary CLA level, but those of unsaturated fatty acids were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The content of mono unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) was decreased as dietary CLA level increased, even though that of poly unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) had a little difference between dietary CLA level. Dietary CLA reduced the degree of lipid oxidation in raw chicken meat during storage.

녹용의 조단백질은 모든 처리구에 있어서 상대가 유의적으로 높았고, 중대, 하대의 순서로 나타났다(P<0.05). 조지방 함량은 CLA 처리구에서 상대가 하대보다 유의적으로 높았고, 대조구와 Coumarin 처리구에서는 상대로 갈수록 높은 수치를 보였으나 그 유의성은 인정되지 않았다. 조섬유 함량은 대조구와 Coumarin 처리구에서 상대가 높게 나왔고, CLA 처리구에서는 하대에서 높은 수치를 보였으나 상대, 중대, 하대 모두 비슷한 수준이었으며 그 유의차는 인정되지 않았다. 조회분은 모든 처리구에 있어서 하대가 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05).녹용에서의 지방산 함량은 처리구간에 큰 차이는 없었다. 그러나 C16:0은 coumarin 처리구, CLA 처리구, 대조구 순으로 유의적으로 높게 나타났으며(P<0.05), C20:0은 CLA 처리구, 대조구, coumarin 처리구 순으로 유의적으로 높게 나타났지만(P<0.05) 큰 의미는 없는 것으로 보여진다.콜라겐 함량은 모든 처리구에서 하대로 갈수록 높게 나타났으며, 하대가 상대보다 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 처리구별 콜라겐 함량은 생산량이 많은 대조구, coumarin 처리구, CLA 처리구 순으로 높게 나타났고, 대조구는 다른 처리구에 비하여 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05).아미노산 조성은 처리구별 유의적 차이는 없었고, 대조구와 처리구 모두 aspartic acid, glutamic acid, arginine, proline의 함량이 많았으며, leucine, lysine의 함량도 비교적 많은 편이었다.혈액의 일반성분인 albumin은 대조구와 처리구 모두 실험 전 보다 절각 후의 수치가 약간의 낮은 경향을 보였지만 수치적으로는 거의 같다고 할 수 있겠다. Cholesterol은 대조구와 coumarin 처리구에서는 거의 같은 반면에 CLA 처리구에서는 실험 전 58g/dl에 비하여 절각 후에는 73.75g/dl로 높은 경향을 나타냈다. Total- bilirubin, direct-biliubin, uric acid는 실험전보다 절각 후에 현저히 감소하는 경향을 보이고 있고, 녹용의 성장에 따라 수치적으로는 적은 양이지만 그 양의 비율에 있어 많은 부분이 감소됨을 알 수 있다. 결과적으로 CLA나 coumarin의 첨가는 이 정도의 첨가 수준으로 꽃사슴의 녹용 및 혈액의 생화학적 성상에 큰 영향을 미치지 못한 것으로 판단된다.

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of feeding CLA and coumarin on the changes of biochemical composition of velvet antler and blood serum in spotted deer(Cervus nippon). There were no significant differences between treatments in crude protein, crude fiber, and crude ash contents of velvet antler. The content of fatty acid did not differ between treatments, although there were significant differences(P<0.05) in C16:0 and C20:0. The content of collagen was significantly higher(P<0.05) in control than those in CLA and coumarin treatments. There were no significant differences between treatments in the contents of amino acids. Some constituents of blood showed much differences in comparison of pre and post-experiment for all treatments. Feeding of CLA and coumarin was not influential on the chemical composition of velvet antler and blood serum.

본 연구는 여러 conjugated linoleic acid(CLA) 이성체가 돼지 지방전구세포의 분화에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위해 수행하였다. 돼지 지방전구세포는 갓난 돼지의 등 지방에서 분리해서 성숙지방세포로 분화될 때 까지 배양했다. 여러 CLA 이성체를 배양중의 세포에 처리했다. 세포분화는 세포배양이 끝난 후 세포의 glycerol-3-phosphate의 활성도를 측정함으로써 구명했다. 20μM과 50μM의 trans10-cis12 CLA 이성체는 돼지 지방전구세포의 분화를 억제했고, 한편 cis9-cis11 이성체는 세포분화를 촉진했다. cis9-trans11과 trans9-trans11 이성체는 세포분화에 아무런 영향을 미치지 않았다. CLA의 세포분화에 미치는 작용은 배양후기(day 8~14) 보다 배양전기(day 0~8)에 더 두드러지게 나타냈다. 위의 결과는 여러 CLA 이성체는 돼지 지방전구세포 분화에 각각 다른 작용을 가짐을 나타낸다.

The current study was undertaken to determine the effect of various conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers on differentiation of pig preadipocyte during culture. Preadipocyte(stroma-vascular cell) was isolated from the backfat of newborn pigs and cultured to differentiate into mature fat cell. Different doses of CLA isomers were treated to the culture media at different times. Cell differentiation was determined by measuring the glycerol- 3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity of the cultured preadipocytes. Twenty and fifty μM of trans10-cis12 isomer of CLA inhibited differentiation of pig preadipocyte whereas cis9-cis11 isomer stimulated the differentiation. Both cis9-trans11 and trans9-trans11 isomers showed no effect. Effect of CLA isomer was more evident at the early stage of culture(day 0-8), than the late stage(day 8-14). These results suggest that each CLA isomer has different effect on pig preadipocyte differentiation.

Conjugated linoleic acid(CLA) is a collective term for a group of positional (c8, c10; c9, c11; c10, c12, and c11, c13) and geometric(cis,cis; cis,trans; trans,cis; and trans,trans) isomers of octadecadienoic acid (linoleic acid) with conjugated double bond system. CLA has been shown to have a variety of biological effects. Major effects of CLA on health, such as anti-cancer, anti-oxidation, anti-atherosclerosis and improving immuno-responses, might be derived or partially derived from the alternated lipid metabolism after CLA feeding. Most of studies on the effect of CLA on fat metabolism are concentrated on rats, mice, pigs and other mammals. The CLA inhibited carcinogen-induced neoplasia in several animal models and inhibited the proliferation of human malignant melanoma, colorectal and breast cancer cells and CLA reduced the atherosclerosis. Several studies have determined the antioxidant property of CLA; however, the property still remains controversial. Some of the studies have shown that CLA acted as an antioxidant, whereas some other studies have demonstrated that CLA might be a prooxidant. Several studies suggested that CLA could reduce fat accumulation in mammals. CLA was suggested to promote muscle growth and reduce fat deposition in mouse, and improve feed efficiency in rats. CLA has been shown to inhibit the activity of stearoyl-CoA reductase. CLA also reduced the content of arachidonic acid. Since arachidonic acid, and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexenoic acid (DHA) are synthesized by different pathways, reducing the synthesis of arachidonic acid may not mean reducing that of EPA and DHA. Many sutdies have been shown biological effects of CLA. Therefore, further research is needed to answer the following questions: 1) how to synthesize the new CLA by new methods, 2) why CLA has shown biological effects, 3) how to increase CLA effects in animal products.
