Abstract

A general screening test for the expression of antioxidative activity was performed on over 36 cultures belong to yeast isolated from soy sauce, Makkuli, and molasses. Antioxidative activities of yeasts were examined by measuring oxidation such as peroxide value and thiobarbituric acid value in fish oil. Of these cultures, Saccharomyces cerevisiae IFO 2114 were found to have strong antioxidative activity. Saccharomyces rouxii and Torulopsis etchellsii isolated from soy sauce showed the strongest antioxidative activity among yeasts. Pichia ohmerii isolated from Makkuli showed the strongest antioxidative activity and Candida versatilis isolated from molasses showed also relative strong antioxidative activity.

효모의 항산화작용을 알아보기 위하여 IFO 효모, 간장에서 분리한 효모, 막걸리에서 분리한 효모 및 당밀에서 분리한 효모를 각각 $1{\times}10^6/ml$로 증식시켜 어유에 접종하여 $30^{\circ}C$에서 배양하면서 POV, TBA-V의 변화를 조사하여 그 항산화력을 검토하였다. 항산화활성은 Saccharomyces rouxii와 Torulopsis etchellsii가 가장 높았고, 막걸리에서 분리한 효모 중에서는 Pichia ohmerii가 가장 높았다. 그리고 당밀에서 분리한 효모중에서는 Candida versatilis가 항산화작용이 높았다.
