Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing botulinum toxin in various fragments to then be reassembled, for safely producing same. In the present invention, devised is a method in which: botulinum toxin is produced in fragments by cleaving light and heavy chains thereof into two or three pieces, respectively, and then combined as a full-length toxin, thereby allowing high complexity in production, due to toxicity, as well as low safety and economic feasibility, to be overcome; production of water-soluble botulinum toxin is enabled by using bacteria, thereby markedly shortening the production time as compared to existing production methods; and conjugation of the produced fragments with other proteins and nanoparticles is also enabled, thereby increasing the pharmaceutical extensibility of the toxin.

Abstract: A microwave treatment device includes a heating chamber for accommodating a heating target, a microwave generator, a feeder, a detector, and a controller. The microwave generator generates a microwave having a frequency in a specified frequency band. The feeder radiates the microwave inside the heating chamber. The detector detects a reflected microwave power reflected from the heating chamber. The controller causes the microwave generator to execute a frequency sweeping in the specified frequency band, and controls the microwave generator according to a temporal change in a frequency characteristic of the reflected microwave power. The temporal change in the frequency characteristic of the reflected microwave power is based on the frequency of the microwave, a level of the reflected microwave power, and a time passed from a start of heating. Thus, it is possible to accurately recognize the progress of cooking while heating the object.
