Abstract

The effects of raw anchovy, salted raw anchovy (20% salt+anchovy), 6- and 12-month fermented anchovy (20% salt added) on the N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced mutagenicities were evaluated using Salmonella assay and the SOS chromotest. The methanol extracts from raw, salted and the fermented anchovy (FA) sample increased the revertants of Salmonella typhimurium TA100 at the level of $0.125{\sim}5\;mg/plate$ in Ames test. The salted raw anchovy extract induced the largest number of the revertants. All the FA extracts had comutagenic effect on the MNNG. Twelve-month FA juice exerted the lowest comutagenic activity among the FA samples. The comutagenicity of 12-month FA was due to the synergistic effect of salt and histidine which teem in FA. Thus the Ames test using histidine requiring mutant, S. typhimurium, is not appropriate to determine the mutagenicity of FA which is rich in histidine. In SOS chromotest using E coli, raw, salted and fermented anchovy extracts did not show any mutagenicity in the absence of MNNG. The raw and fermented anchovy samples blocked the SOS response of E. coli PQ37 induced by MNNG, while raw salted anchovy increased the SOS induction factor. Twelve-month FA juice showed higher antimutagenic effects than 6-month FA samples (both solid and liquid). The ripened (12-month) FA along with raw anchovy in the SOS chromotest exhibited antimutagenic activity.

Ames 실험계에서 소금에 절인 생멸치는 생멸치보다 돌연변이유발성이 높았고, 잘 숙성된 멸치액젓(12개월)은 6개월된 멸치젓갈보다 낮은 보돌연변이성을 나타내었다. MNNG에 의한 돌연변이 실험에서 12개월간 발효시킨 멸치액젓 2.5 mg에 함유된 천일염 1.4 mg과 histidine $8\;{\mu}g$은 12개월간 발효시킨 멸치액젓보다 2배 이상 높은 보돌연변이성을 보였다. 따라서 histidine의 함량이 높은 멸치젓갈의 안전성을 Ames test로 판정하는 것은 바람직하지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 반면 SOS 실험계에서 생멸치, 소금에 절인 생멸치와 발효된 멸치젓갈 자체는 돌연변이유발성이 없었고, 오히려 12개월된 젓갈은 6개월 된 젓갈보다 높은 항돌연변이성을 보였다. 따라서 멸치젓갈 제조시 멸치에 소금이 첨가되어(생젓갈) 돌연변이 유발이 일어날 수 있지만 숙성기간이 길어지면(12개월, 익은 젓갈) 항돌연변이 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
