Abstract

In order to investigate heat-induced gelation properties of $\alpha-lactalbumin(\alpha-La),$ total free SH groups, half-cystine, and disulfide bond contents of $\alpha-La$ gels prepared in 0.1M Tris-HCI buffer(pH 8.0) were measured. The samples were heated at $90^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes under different PH and concentrations of NaCl, $CaCl_2,$ $\alpha-La,$ N-ethylrnaleirnide(NEM), and dithiothreitol(DTT). Total free SH groups were low at high concentrations of $\alpha-La$ and at pH 6.5~8.5, and were $14.72~18.58\mu\textrm{m}ol/g$ and $14.17~16.11\mu\textrm{m}ol/g,$ respectively. Half-cystine contents of NEM-induced gels decreased with increasing concentration of NEM, and were $1.03~39.17\mu\textrm{m}ol/g.$ Disulfide bonds of DTT-induced gels increased with increasing concentration of DTT, and were $70.04~71.80\mu\textrm{m}ol/g$.

본 연구에서는 열처리에 의한 $알파-락트알부민(\alpha-La)겔의$ 특성을 규명하기 위하여 겔형성에 관여하는 인자들 즉, 염의 종류와 농도, pH, $\alpha-La$ 농도, 티올시약(NEM, Dn)의 농도를 각각 변화시켜 $90^{\circ}C에서$ 40분간 가열하여 만든 알파-락트알부민 겔의 총유리 SH그룹, half-cystine 함량, S-S 결합 함량을 측정하였다. 총 유리 SH 그룹, half-cystine 함량, S-S 결합은 첨가된 염의 종류와 농도 변화에는 큰 의존성을 나타내지 않았다. pH 2.5~3.5에서는 SH 그룹의 반응성이 낮아 pH 6.5~8.5에서의 총 유리 SH 그룹 보다 함량이 더 높고 half-cystine 함량은 일정하였으나 형성된 S-S 결합은 더 낮아 pH가 증가할수록 SH산화속도와 겔망상 구조의 형성 이 가속화됨을 확인할 수 있었다. $\alpha-La의$ 농도 증가로 half-cystine 함량은 큰 변화가 없었으나 총 유리 SH 그룹은 약간 감소하고 S-S 결합은 약간 증가하여 $\alpha-La의$ 농도 증가에 따라 겔지지체에서 S-S 결합의 관여가 큼을 나타내었다. NEM첨가의 경우는 총 유리 SH그룹과 half-cystine 함량이 급격히 감소하였으나 S-S 결합은 증가하여 NEM 첨가로 SH그룹이 반응성을 잃어 결국 $\alpha-La의$ 겔형성에 지장을 줌을 확인하였다. DTT 첨가로는 새로운 분자간 티올-이황화물 상호교환반응이 용이하게 되어 총 유리 SH 그룹은 낮고 S-S 결합은 높은 함량을 나타내었다.
