효소분리 및 용매정제법으로 제조한 고농도 Sialic Acid(23%)가 함유된 GMP 가수분해분말의 미생물복귀돌연변이시험 연구 = Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test Evaluation of Hydrolyzed GMP Powder Containing Highly Concentrated Sialic Acid (23%) produced by Enzyme Separation and Solvent Enrichment Method

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 시험은 안전식품인 우유단백질에서 분리되어 영유아 식품 등에 세계적으로 사용되고 있는 GMP 내 기본적으로 7%로 결합되어 있는 지표성분인 sialic acid의 함유량이 높게 제조한 23%-GNANA를 기능성 식품 원료 개발함에 최종 연구목표를 두었다. 시험물질은 23% sialic acid와 GMP 단백질로 구성(제품명: HELICOBACTROL-23)되어 있으며, ㈜한일바이오메드사(한국)에서 공여 받아 미생물복귀돌연변이시험을 실시하였다. 미생물에 대한 돌연변이 유발성 유무를 검색하기 위해 히스티딘 요구성 균주인 Salmonella typhimurium TA98,TA100, TA1535 및TA1537과트립토판요구성균주인Escherichiacoli WP2uvrA를 이용하였다. 미생물복귀돌연변이시험은 시험물질을 5단계의 농도군(0, 61.7, 185, 556, 1,670, 5,000 μg/plate)으로 하여 평가하였다. 평가결과로서, 대사활성계 존재 유무와 관계없이 5균주 모두에서 시험물질의 각 농도에 의한 복귀돌연변이 유발원 양성기준인 콜로니 생성수치가 재현성있는 증가를 나타내지 않았으며, 용량의존성도 확인되지 않았다. 결론적으로, 시험물질인 23%-GNANA의 식품첨가물로서 등록을 위하여 수행한 미생물돌연변이시험에서 안전성이 확인되었다.

The goal of this study was to develop hydrolyzed whey protein powder (23%-GNANA) manufactured with high content of sialic acid, a marker compound that is usually present at 7% concentration in GMP obtained from the milk protein. It is a safe food, used worldwide in infant and baby foods, etc. The test substance was prepared using (7% sialic acid containing) GMP as a raw material. Alcalase, an enzyme approved as a food additive, was used after separating sialic acid, with 100% efficiency, and 23%-GNANA (composed of 23% sialic acid and protein; product name: HELICOBACTROL-23), provided by MEDINUTROL Inc. (Korea), manufactured to have high (23%) content through ethanol soaking and enrichment. Bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test was conducted in accordance with the GLP Guideline using the test substance specified above. To detect its mutagenicity potential in microorganisms, histidine auxotrophic strains of Salmonella typhimurium, TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537, and tryptophan auxotrophic Escherichia coli strain, WP2uvrA, were used. The bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test was performed using five concentrations of the test substances (0, 61.7, 185, 556, 1,670, 5,000 μg/plate). The evaluation did not reveal repetitive increase of colony generating values and positive criteria for reverse mutagenicity for any tested concentration in the five strains regardless of the presence of metabolic activation system, and no dose-dependency. In conclusion, the safety of 23%-GNANA test substance was verified by the bacterial reverse mutation test conducted before registration of 23%-GNANA as a food additive.
