Abstract: Disclosed is a lactic acid bacteria culture of mung bean obtained by culturing lactic acid bacteria in a culture medium containing mung bean extract. The culture contains the mung bean extract and GABA (ϝ Aminobutyric acid), so that it exhibits effects of promoting collagen synthesis and alleviating inflammation. Accordingly, the cosmetic composition containing the culture can be usefully used as a cosmetic composition for promoting collagen biosynthesis, preventing or improving skin senescence, ant i-inflammatory and preventing or improving skin injury.

Abstract: Disclosed are a composition comprising an organic acid extract of Torilidis Fructus, which has a sterilization effect on spores of spore-forming microorganisms including fungi and bacteria, and a method of sterilizing spores and vegetative cells using the composition.

Abstract: Disclosed are a gene coding for L-arabinose isomerase derived from Thermotoga neapolitana 5068, a thermostable arabinose isomerase expressed from the gene, a recombinant expression vector containing the gene, a microorganism transformed with the expression vector, a process for preparing thermostable arabinose isomerase from the transformant ,and a process for preparing D-tagatose employing the arabinose isomerase. Since the recombinant arabinose isomerase is highly thermostable and can produce tagatose with high yield at high temperature, it can be efficiently applied in pharmaceutical and food industries.
