Gochujang (fermented hot pepper paste) products are well known for their distinct, spicy flavor. However, frequent pack burst spoilage of gochujang products occurs during transportation and storage because of microbial aerogenesis, resulting in considerable economic losses. The present study aimed to prevent pack burst spoilage of gochujang products by supplementing them with garlic ethanol extract. A simulated pack burst experiment revealed that 42.86 % of normal gochujang products were spoiled. Garlic ethanol extract significantly inhibited the growth of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii in gochujang products, with low minimum inhibitory concentration values (12.5-25 mg/mL). Gochujang products supplemented with various concentrations (1 % and 2.5 %) of garlic ethanol extract exhibited marked inhibition of microbial growth, particularly Z. rouxii, and pack burst spoilage. Microbiome analysis revealed that the pack burst samples harbored a high abundance of Z. rouxii. Supplementation of gochujang with 1 % garlic ethanol extract drastically reduced Z. rouxii abundance and prevented pack burst. Moreover, gochujang products supplemented with 1 % garlic ethanol extract exhibited a high hedonic score in the sensory analysis. Based on the results of this study, we concluded that supplementation of gochujang products with 1 % garlic ethanol extract before packaging could be effective in preventing pack burst spoilage of gochujang.

Use of biosilica to improve loading and delivery of bone morphogenic protein 2.

The clinical utility of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) is limited because of the poor attraction between BMP2 and carriers, resulting in low loading efficiency and initial burst release. Here, the high binding affinity of BMP2 to the biosilica surface was utilized to overcome this limitation. Atomic force microscopy revealed that BMP2 bound nearly 8- and 2-fold more strongly to biosilica-coated hydroxyapatite than to uncoated and plain silica-coated hydroxyapatite, respectively.

BMP2-Mediated Silica Deposition: An Effective Strategy for Bone Mineralization.

ACS Biomater Sci Eng

Department of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, Korea University, 2511 Sejong-ro, Sejong 30019, Korea.

The combined use of an osteogenic factor, such as bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), with a bone scaffold was quite functional for the reconstruction of bone defects. Although many studies using BMP2 have been done, there is still a need to develop an efficient way to apply BMP2 in the bone scaffold. Here, we reported an interesting fact that BMP2 has a silica deposition ability in the presence of silicic acid and proposed that such an ability of BMP2 can effectively immobilize and transport itself by a kind of coprecipitation of BMP2 with a silica matrix.
