    International audiencePreviously, we found three enzyme fractions containing activities for the hydrolysis of royal jelly proteins from honeybee queen larvae. In this study, we identified a honeybee chymotrypsin-like protease (HCLPase) by LC-MS/MS and expressed it as a recombinant protein in Escherichia coli. The protease had an estimated molecular weight of around 26 kDa and showed high specificity for succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe p-nitroanilide as a proteolytic substrate. Furthermore, the protease had an optimal pH of 9, and the activity was markedly inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride but not tosyl phenylalanyl chloromethyl ketone, both of which are irreversible inhibitors of chymotrypsin-like serine proteases. These results suggested that this recombinant protease, HCLPase, was a chymotrypsin-like serine protease with different characteristics from mammalian chymotrypsin

     神戸女子短期大学食物栄養学科専攻の授業「食品衛生学実験」において,神戸市内の惣菜およびカット野菜の細莞汚染状況を調べるとともに衛生規範の指導基準による生菌数,大腸菌群,大腸菌および黄色ブドウ球菌の合否判定を行なった。その結果,市販食品で指導基準による生菌数の合格率は惣菜98.6%, 洋生菓子100.0%, 生野菜92.8%であった。また,神戸市内の惣菜50例の生肉数はすべて10⁵cfu/g以下であり,指導基準に合格した。大腸菌および黄色ブドウ球菌は陰性であった。なお,大腸菌群陽性率は40%であった。神戸市内のカット野菜12例の生菌数は10⁶cfu/g以下ですべて指導基準に合格した。大腸菌群陽性率は66.7%であった
