Study on Meat Tenderizer -Part II. Tenderizing ability of Enzyme from Asp. oryzae-

Meat Tenderizer 제조에 관한 연구 -제2보 Asp. oryzae 생산 protease의 연육효과-

An attempt was made to utilize the enzyme produced by Asp. oryzae as meat tenderizer. The production, purification, and various properties of proteinase produced by Asp. oryzae were investigated. Results obtained are as follow; 1. A strain which had the highest proteolytic activity was selected among 9 Aspergillus species. 2. Culture medium consisted of wheat bran 10g, 2% glucose, 0.03% urea and 0.1% $MgSO_4$ (pH 6.5). Mold was incubated at $30^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. 3. Enzyme extract from culture medium were fractionated with ammonium sulfate and purified by Sephadex G-75 column chromatography. 4. When pH of reaction mixture was controlled, maximal activity of proteinase by Asp. oryzae was obtained at pH 3, pH 6.6, $8.4{\sim}8.5$ and pH 10.0 to 10.5. Those results were interpreted to show that enzyme consists of acid proteinase, neutral proteinase and alkaline proteinase. Enzyme was stable at pH 6 to 10. 5. Opt. temperature for proteinase activity was $50^{\circ}C$, but enzyme was stable up to $40^{\circ}C$. 6. The proteinase was inhibited by $Ag^+$. It was also inhibited by EDTA. 7. When myofibrillar proteins were treated by proteinase from Asp. oryzae, ATPase activities of myofibrillar proteins changed remarkably. Accordingly, it was concluded that proteinase produced by Asp. oryzae were able to be used as meat tenderizer.

Protease생산(生産)을 위한 Asp. oryzae의 배양조건(培養條件), 생산효소(生産酵素)의 정제(精製) 및 정제효소(精製酵素)의 육연화(肉軟化)에 관한 효과(效果)에 대(對)하여 연구 하였다. Asp. oryzae가 생산(生産)하는 proteolytic enzyme이 육연화(肉軟化)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 조사한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. Asp. oryzae를 밀기울에 고체배양(固體培養)한 결과(結果) 최적조건(最適條件)은 배양일수(培養日數) 3일, 산수량(散水量) 130%, pH 6.5와 탄소원(炭素原)으로는 glucose 2%, 질소원으로는 urea 0.03%, mineral salts로 $MgSO_4$ 0.1%가 가장 좋았다. 2. Asp. oryzae 고정(固定)배양액으로부터 효소(酵素)를 추출(抽出)하고 그 추출액으로부터 유안염석(硫安鹽析) 및 Sephadex G-75 columm chromatography에 의하여 정제(精製)하였다. 3. 정제(精製)된 enzyme은 산성(酸性)에서는 hemoglobin, 중성(中性), alkali성(性)에서는 casein를 기질(基質)로 사용한 결과 작용최적(作用最適) pH가 3.0, 6.6, $8.4{\sim}8.5$, $10{\sim}10.5$이었으며 pH의 안정성(安定性)범위는 $pH\;6{\sim}10$이었다. 4. 최적온도(最適溫度)는 $50^{\circ}C$ 이었으나 안정성(安定性)은 $40^{\circ}C$ 까지였다. 5. Metal ion 및 EDTA에 미치는 영향은 protease는 Ag ion에 저해 되었다. 또 ion 농도가 낮아짐에 따라 금속 ion에 의한 조해(阻害)는 감소되었다. EDTA에 의하여서도 조해(阻害)되었다. 6. Chicken과 bovine으로부터 myofibril과 actomyosin을 추출(抽出) 정제(精製)하여 attack시킨 결과(結果) 근원섬유단백질(筋原纖維蛋白質)의 MgATPase활성(活性) 및 Ca-ATPase활성(活性)은 현저하게 변화(變化)하였다. 따라서 본(本) 효소(酵素)는 연육소(軟肉素)로서 이용(利用)할 수 있음을 알았다.
