  • In this study, we evaluated the alcohol degradation ability of fig enzyme in the production of cheese using Lactobacillus kitasatonis, Lactobacillus amylophillus, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides sub. The strains were highly resistant to ethanol, acid, and bile acid. When 10% of fig enzyme was added, the alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase activities in each strain were approximately 170, 270, and 190% higher, respectively, than in samples without fig enzyme. The addition of 10% of fig enzyme to produce cheese with the L. amylophillus strain showed an approximately 250% increase in alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase degradation. In conclusion, when fig enzyme was added to produce cheese using L. amylophillus, high alcohol degradation ability was observed. The applicability of fig enzyme addition was confirmed for the production of functional food.

  • A method for the process of making fig conserves to prevent the denaturation of ficin (EC3.422.3) that is a proteolytic enzyme in fig (Fixus carica L. ) has been developed. The suutable composition ratio of materials such as, fig, sugar, citric acid and potassium sorbate, to make fig conserves was 1,000, 600 , 1.0 and 0.67g , respectively. to maintain the ficin activity, it was necessary that these materials were heated on 55$^{\circ}C$ and concentrated in the reduced pressure. At a result of sensory evaluation , meat treated with fig was the softest among samples. Then the treated beef with 55$^{\circ}C$ converse, 7$0^{\circ}C$ conserves, sugar and control have been shown the decreased rate respectively. There was significantly different in the effect of tenderness between each group(0.1%) . The nitrogen content of connective tissue was relatively low in the groups of the treated beef with fig and 55$^{\circ}C$ converses, 7$0^{\circ}C$ converses sugar and control , which was similar to the order of the ficin activity. This research revealed that the constituent protein of meat muscle was decomposed by ficin and its solubility was relatively higher than before.

  • To prevent the denaturation of ficin(EC 3.4.22.3) that is a proteolytic enzyme in fig(Ficus carica L.), fig conserve was heated to 55oC. The fig conserve was added as a tenderizer to native Korean cattle beef(KCB), dairy cattle beef(DCB), castrated dairy cattle beef(CDCB), and imported beef(IB). The composition of free amino acids, hydroxyproline content, shear force, cooking loss, morphological changes and sensory evaluation were then investigated to observe the effect of tenderizing beef with fig conserve. Free amino acids and cooking loss of treated beef were higher than those of control, whereas hydroxyproline and shear force were lower. Glutamine in treated beef decreased relatively but asparagine increased. Hydroxyproline was found, in increasing order of abundance, in DCB, CDCB, IB and KCB. By portion, loin was higher than tenderloin in free amino acids, hydroxyproline and shear force but was lower in cooking loss. Observation with a light microgram revealed a surprising loss of muscle fiber in treated beef. In sensory evaluation of uncooked beef, the control was redder than the treated beef(p<0.01~p<0.05). Treatment with fig conserve increased the juiciness of both cooked CDCB and IB(p<0.001) and decreased their hardness(p<0.01~p<0.001).

  • In order to study the tenderizing effect of the proteolytic enzyme, ficin, from fig fruit (Ficus carica L), the enzyme was purified from fig latex by precipitation and chromatography. The ficin separated from Bongraesi showed single band on SDS-PAGE. However, the ficin from Masui showed tow bands. The specific activity of ficin purified from Bongraesi species was 2.8 unit/mg protein and that from Masui species was 6.5 unit / mg protein. The amounts of ficin purified from 50 mL of crude latex of Bongraesi and Masui were 1,760 mg and 657 mg, respectively. the water holding capacity of beef decreased to the large extent, when sugar Bongraesi latex and Masui latex were added. The hardness of beef showed decreasing tendency with the time, however, after 60 min, it decreased and thereafter increased a little after 120 min. the hardness of beef decreased sharply with addition of the latex of Bongraesi and Masui. The Masui has more tenderizing effect than the Bongraesi. When meat was mixed with tenderizing agent(ficin) and not heated, the change of color showed significant difference (p<0.01). when meat was mixed with tenderizing agent(ficin) and heated, the toughness showed significant difference (p<0.01) and the softness showed significant difference (p<0.001).

  • This study was performed to purify fig pectinesterase(F-PE) and characterize its in situ activity. Three kinds of F-PE were partially separated by using ammonium sulfate fractionation, Q-Sepharose column, CM-cation exchanger column chromatography, and HPLC. One of those was anionic protein and the others were cationic proteins. All of them had approximate molecular weight of 27,000 and lost rapidly their activity during storage. Therefore alternative crude enzyme was prepared by suspending the freeze dried and milled fig powder in 0.1 M NaCl at pH 7.5. F-PE had the optimum pH of 8.5, the optimum temperature of $50^{\circ}C$ with activation energy of 7,671 cal $mol^{-1}K^{-1}$ and stability up to $55^{\circ}C$ with 10 minutes heating. Optimum activity was obtained in $0.2{\sim}0.4$ M NaCl with optimum solubility at above 0.8 M NaCl.

  • On the growing of the interspecific hybrid ginseng plant, the phenomena of hybrid vigoures are observed in the root, stem, and leaf, but it can not produce seeds favorably since the ovary is abortive in most cases in interspecific hybrid plants. The present investigation was undertaken in an attempt to elucidate the embryological dses of the seed failure in the interspecific hybrid of ginseng (Panax Ginseng ${\times}$ P. Quinque folium). And the results obtained may be summarized as follows. 1). The vegetative growth of the interspecific hybrid ginseng plant is normal or rather vigorous, but the generative growth is extremely obstructed. 2). Even though the generative growth is interrupted the normal development of ovary tissue of flower can be shown until the stage prior to meiosis. 3). The division of the male gameto-genetic cell and the female gameto-genetic cell are exceedingly irregular and some of them are constricted prior to meiosis. 4). At meiosis in the microspore mother cell of the interspecific hybrid, abnormal division is observed in that the univalent chromosome and chromosome bridge occure. And in most cases, metaphasic configuration is principally presented as 23 II+2I, though rarely 22II+4I is also found. 5). Through the process of microspore and pollen formation of F1, the various developmental phases occur even in an anther loclus. 6). Macro, micro and empty pollen grains occur and the functional pollen is very rare. 7). After the megaspore mother cell stage, the rate of ovule development is, on the whole, delayed but the ovary wall enlargement is nearly normal. 8). Degenerating phenomena of ovules occur from the megaspore mother cell stage to 8-nucleate embryo sac stage, and their beginning time of constricting shape is variously different. 9). The megaspore arrangement in the parent is principally of the linear type, though rarely the intermediate type is also observed, whereas various types, viz, linear, intermediate, Tshape, and I shape can be observed in hybrid. 10). After meiosis, three or five megaspore are some times counted. 11). Charazal end megaspore is generally functional in the parents, whereas, in F1, very rarely one of the center megaspores (the second of the third megaspore) grows as an embryo sac mother cell. 12). In accordance with the extent of irregularity or abnormality in meiosis, division of embryo sac nuclei and embryo sac formation cause more nucellus tissue to remain within th, embryo sac. 13). Even if one reached the stage of embryo sac formation, the embryo sac nuclei are always precarious and they can not be disposed to theil proper, respective position. 14). Within the embryo sac, which is lacking the endospermcell, the 4-celled proembryo, linear arrangement, is observed. 15). Through the above respects, the cause of sterile or seed failure of interspecific hybrid would be presumably as follows, By interspecific crossing gene reassortments takes place and the gene system influences the metabolism by the interference of certain enzyme as media. In the F1 plant, the quantity and quality of chemicals produced by the enzyme system and reaction system are entirely different from the case of the parents. Generally, in order to grow, form, and develop naw parts it is necessary to change the materials and energy with reasonable balance, whereas in the F1 plant the metabolic process becomes abnormal or irregular because of the breakdown of the balancing. Thus the changing of the gene-reaction system causes the alteration of the environmental condition of the gameto-genetic cells in the anther and ovule; the produced chemicals cause changes of oxidatio-reduction potential, PH value, protein denaturation and the polarity, etc. Then, the abnormal tissue growing in the ovule and emdryo sac, inhibition of normal development and storage of some chemicals, especially inhibitor, finally lead to sterility or seed failure. Inconclusion, we may presume that the first cause of sterile or seed abortion in interspecific hybrids is the gene reassortment, and the second is the irregularity of the metabolic system, storage of chemicals, especially inhibitor, the growth of abnormal tissue and the change of the polarity etc, and they finally lead to sexual defect, sterility and seed failure.
