Abstract:
PURPOSE: A new fungal strain, Lecythophora sp. YP363, and a method for producing thermostable cellulase using the same are provided to produce monosaccharides such as glucose and xylose from a cellulose substrate and to reduce enzyme cost. CONSTITUTION: A fungal strain, Lecythophora sp. YP363 (deposit number: KACC93143P), has an excellent enzyme activity and thermal resistance and produces cellulase. A method for preparing cellulase comprises the steps of culturing the strain and isolating cellulase from the culture. The optimal temperature for cellulase is 55 °C. The carbon source in a culture medium is selected among Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens, Phragmites communis TRIN., palm fruit peels, barley straw, and rice straw. Cellulase is used for preparing glucose and xylose from a ligneous ingredient.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A fermentation method for preparing fermented fucoidan as a cosmetic material is provided to enhance functionality such as collagen synthesis, whitening, and MMP(matrix metalloproteinase) suppression. CONSTITUTION: A method for preparing fermented fucoidan with enhanced anti-aging functionality, collagen synthesis, whitening, and MMP suppression comprises a step of fermenting with microorganisms such as Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The fermented fucoidan is used as a raw material of a cosmetic product, a food product, and a pharmaceutical product. The fucoidan is polymer fucoidan which is isolated from kelp with a purity of 80%.
