Abstract

One of yellowed rice toxins, luteoskyrin, was investigated with respect to its identification, quantitation and producibility by Penicillium islandicum isolated from deteriorated rice. 1) Luteoskyrin was best resolved by thin-layer chromatography with silica gel G plate impregnated with 0. 5 N oxalic acid and acetone : n-hexane : water (6 : 3 : 1.5, upper layer) solvent system. The isolated yellow spot showed maximum absorption bands at 426 and 448 nm and changed to purple color upon exposure to sunlight for $2{\sim}3$ hours. 2) Detection limit for luteoskyrin was 4 ppm in elution-colorimetry and 0.1 ppm in densitometry after TLC. Assuming that the tolerance for luteoskyrin in rice is set below 3.68 ppm, densitometry is usable for its screening in grain samples 3) Producibility of luteoskyrin by Pen. islandicum was shown to be 11 mg/g mycelial mat in liquid culture and 40 mg/g autoclaved rice.

황변미독(黃變米毒)의 일종인 luteoskyrin의 동정(同定) 및 정량법(定量法)을 검토한 후 변질미에서 분리된 Pen. islandicum의 luteoskyrin 생성능(生成能)을 추구한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) Luteoskyrin은 0.5 N oxalic acid impregnated silicagel G plate로서 acetone : n-hexane : water(6:3:1.5, upper layer)를 전개용매로하는 TLC방법에서 분리(分離)가 가장 좋았다. 분리된 황색물질의 최대흡수파장(吸收波長)은 426, 448nm이었으며 chromatogram을 태양광선에 $2{\sim}3$시간 노출시 자색(紫色)으로 변하였다. 2) Luteoskyrin의 정량법으로서 TLC전개(展開)후 용출비색법(溶出比色法)에서는 4 ppm, densitometry에서는 0.1 ppm이 검출한계(檢出限界)이었다. 미곡 중의 허용량(許容量)을 3.68 ppm이하로 정설할 경우 곡류시료 중 luteoskyrin의 검색(檢索)에는 densitometry가 적합할 것이다. 3) Pen. islandicum에 의한 luteoskyrin 생성능은 Czapek 액체배지에서는 균계체(菌系體) 1g당 11mg, 가압살균한 쌀에서는 1g당 40mg이었다.
