Example 2. Analysis of physiological activities of citrus fermented products

2-1. Experimental Method

2-1-1. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) Incompatibility Analysis

AChE inhibition was measured by using Prashanth 's method using acetylcholine iodide as a substrate. To 90 μl of the sample was added 160 μl of AChE (2 U / ml) and 30 μl of DTNB solution (3.96 mg of DTNB and 1.5 mg of sodium bicarbonate in 10 ml of phosphate buffer (pH 7.7)), For 5 minutes. 30 μl of acetylcholine iodide solution (10.85 mg of acetylthiocholine iodide dissolved in 5 ml of phosphate buffer (pH 7.7)) was added to the reaction mixture, followed by reaction at 25 ° C for 30 minutes. / TW / BC / 6Filter, Tecan Austria GmbH, Gradig, Austria), and the AChE inhibition was determined using the following equation.

AChE inhibition (%) = 1 - (absorbance of sample added / absorbance of untreated)

2-1-2. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory assay

ACE inhibition was measured by the method of Cushman and Cheung. 1 g of rabbit lung acetone powder was added to 20 ml of 50 mM sodium borate buffer (pH 8.3) at 4 ° C for 24 hours, and centrifuged at 4 ° C for 5 minutes to obtain ACE enzyme solution. 50 AC of the diluted sample was added with 50 AC of ACE enzyme solution, and the mixture was allowed to stand at 37 캜 for 10 minutes. Then, 100 25 of 25 mM HHL was added and reacted at 37 캜 for 60 minutes. 250 μl of 1M HCI was added and the mixture was stirred for 30 seconds and centrifuged (4 ° C, 10 minutes, 5,000 × g) to obtain 200 μl of a supernatant. The supernatant was completely dried at 80 ° C for 30 minutes, and after adding 1 ml of distilled water, the absorbance was measured at 228 nm. In the control group, distilled water was used instead of the sample, and captopril was used as a positive control. The ACE inhibition was calculated using the following equation.

ACE inhibition (%) = 1 - (absorbance of sample added / untreated)

2-1-3. Antimicrobial activity analysis

The fermented citrus fruits fermented with each lactic acid bacterium were collected during fermentation on days 3, 5, 7, and 10, centrifuged, and filtered to obtain a supernatant. On the 0.5% yeast extract agar plate, 10 ml of 0.8% NB soft agar containing 1% of the indicator culture medium and 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) was layered to prepare a test plate. The antimicrobial activity was measured by spotting 50 ㎕ of citrus fermented extract extract on a test plate, drying the supernatant, and culturing for 12 hours or more in a constant temperature incubator at 37 캜.

2-1-4. Statistical processing

All experiments were repeated 3 times and the results were processed with SPSS software (Ver. 12.0K, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The mean and standard deviation of each measurement group were calculated and the significance was tested by Duncan's multiple range test. The difference of all treatment values was compared with 95% confidence level (P <0.05).

2-2. Experiment result

2-2-1. Results of Acetylcholinesterase (AChE)

Acetylcholine (ACh), one of neurotransmitters in the body, is synthesized by acetyl CoA and choline under the action of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) enzyme, which is decomposed into acetate and choline under the action of AChE enzyme. Therefore, the activation of ChAT and AChE enzymes, which affect ACh, is important for smooth neurotransmission in the body. In patients with Alzheimer disease (AD), which accounts for 50% of dementia, ChAT tends to decrease and AChE is inhibited in patients with AD to increase the concentration of ACh in the body.

The results of assaying acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity of a 10-fold diluted citrus fermented extract are shown in FIG. The positive control group, eserine, showed 87% inhibition activity at 100 μg / ml concentration. 1 ( Pediococcus sp. ) And No. 2 ( Lactobacillus sp. ) Fermented extract showed higher inhibitory activity as fermentation progressed than other extracts. It has been reported that donepezil, tacrine, rivastigmine, galactamine, etc., as AChE inhibitors, are allowed in the FDA and that coumarine phenol substances inhibit AChE in a manner similar to galactamine. Therefore, the results of DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities are different from those of DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity, which means that there are differences in the substances that affect antioxidant activity and AChE inhibitory activity.

2-2-2. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory assay results

Renin in the body decomposes angiotensinogen into angiotensin Ⅰ and inactive angiotensin Ⅰ becomes angiotensin Ⅱ with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). This angiotensin Ⅱ is involved in the onset of hypertension by contracting the arterial blood vessels, raising blood pressure, and promoting the secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal gland, thereby increasing renal sodium and water reabsorption.

The ACE inhibitory activity of 20-fold diluted citrus fermented extract samples is shown in FIG. The ACE inhibitory effect was 4.62 ± 2.71 ~ 86.22 ± 1.57%. The inhibitory effect of captopril was 91% at 2 μg / ㎖. LA ( L. acidophilus ) fermented extract decreased from 38.17% to 14.19% as the fermentation period became longer. 1 ( Pediococcus sp. ), No. 2 ( Lactobacillus sp. ) Fermented extracts increased from 42.90% to 85.97% and from 41.94% to 83.88%, respectively. According to Lee et al.'S results of antioxidative and ACE inhibition studies on the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria in leek slurries, leucine fermentation showed 50.4 ~ 67% ACE inhibition depending on the type of lactic acid bacteria. Although the kinds of lactic acid bacteria used are different, And it was confirmed that it showed an inferiority. In addition, ACE inhibition is mainly caused by proteins or peptides. It is likely that the products produced from fermented citrus extracts using lactic acid bacteria are composed of proteins and peptides, and as a result, ACE inhibition is excellent.

Example 3 Identification of lactic acid bacteria

As a result of functional analysis, highly active strains (No. 1 and No. 2) were identified by 16S rRNA gene analysis. Colony type strain was sent to Solent (Daejeon) for genetic analysis. PCR was performed using the universal primer 27F primer (5'-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3 ') and 1492R primer (5'-GGTTACCTTGTTACGACTT-3') used for 16S rRNA sequencing. The nucleotide sequence was analyzed using a 3730XL Capillary RNA Sequencer from Applied Biosystems, and a blast search of NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) was performed using the analyzed nucleotide sequence Were identified and identified.

Result No. One strain of 16S rRNA was identified as Pediococcus lt ; / RTI &gt; 2 strains of 16S rRNA were found in Lactobacillus and 99% or more homology with sakei . These strains were deposited with the National Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology, National Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology, and were assigned accession numbers of KACC92031P and KACC92032P, respectively.

L. sakei is a lactic acid bacterium that produces alcohol or lactic acid bacteria from sugars and produces a bacteriocin called sakacin. Bacteriocin is an antimicrobial substance composed of peptides and proteins. It is a competitive inhibitor against other microorganisms that grow in the same environment and is isolated from various microorganisms. Especially, lactic acid bacteria plays an important role in kimchi fermentation and is known to produce various antimicrobial substances. Bacteriocin has a very broad antibacterial range and is effective in suppressing or killing the growth of spoilage bacteria, food poisoning bacteria, infectious disease bacteria and spore forming bacteria. Unlike antibiotics, bacteriocin is made up of proteins and is easily degraded by protein hydrolytic enzymes in the digestive tract when it enters the body, making it non-toxic and non-persistent to the human body. Antibiotics are secondary metabolites, whereas bacteriocins are biosynthesized directly from their genes. Sakacin, produced by L. sakei, has been reported as A, G, K, P and Q type, of which A and P type are well known. Sakacin produced by L. sakei identified in this Example is not a bacteriocin with a narrow inhibition range but a broad inhibition range such as nisin, a bacteriocin produced by Streptococcus lactis .
