Abstract

The objectives of this study was to determine whether a new physically modified cornstarch by ultra-fine- or nanoscale pulverizer to reduce particle size offers better bioactive function than native cornstarch in weanling Sprague-Dawley rats. Male weaning Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets containing native cornstarch (NAC), ultra fine pulverized cornstarch (UFC) or nano-scale pulverized cornstarch (NSC) for 4 weeks. In vitro rate of starch hydrolysis, growth performance, organ weight, intestine length intestinal proliferation and the fermentation by Bifidobacterium of rat cecum were evaluated. The diet with reduced particle size (UFC or NSC) significantly increased body weight gain and organ weight. Feed efficiency was increased in NSC fed rats and was not affected in UFC fed rats. Intestinal proliferation was decreased in NSC group. Reduction of particle size also increased cecal short chain fatty acid concentration and the growth and acidifying activity of Bifidobacterium. It is concluded that a reduction of particle size of starch granules by physically modification may increase growing performance and gut function.

본 연구는 ultra-fine pulverizer 또는 nano-scale pulverizer로 초미세분쇄시켜 입자크기가 감소된 옥수수전분의 섭취로 인한 생리적 기능성을 탐색한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 각 실험식이군의 식이 섭취량은 UFC군, NAC군은 차이가 없었으며, NSC군에서 유의하게 낮았다. NSC군의 식이 섭취량이 낮았음에도 불구하고 체중증가량이 많아 식이효율은 NSC군에서 가장 높았다. 2) 간, 신장의 무게는 UFC군 > NSC군 > NAC군순으로 높았다. 3) 소장의 무게는 UFC군이 NAC군에 비해 유의하게 높았으며, 소장의 길이는 각 실험군에서 유의적인 차이가 없었으며 맹장의 무게 및 장통과 시간도 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 4) 맹장내 단쇄지방산의 함량은 NSC군이 UFC군이나 NAC군에 비해 유의하게 높아 장내 미생물에 의한 발효가 활성화되고 있었으며 장내 Bifidobacterium 증식도 NSC군이 다른 군에 비해 활발하였다. 5) 소장세포의 증식은 NSC군에서 낮았다. 이상의 결과로 볼때 nano-scale로 입자의 크기가 감소된 옥수수 전분은 소화흡수율을 증가시켜 성장능력을 증진하는 것으로 나타났으며, Bifidobacterium 증식 촉진, 단쇄 지방산 생성을 촉진하는 효과를 갖고 있어 상대적인 영양밀도를 높이는 기능성을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 장기능이 미숙한 유아기, 장기능이 불완전하거나 미약한 환자, 노인등의 특수목적 영양식의 기본재료로 활용될 수 있음을 제안한다.
