Application of Deep Sea Water in Functional Fermentation Food

臺灣東部深層海水是取自600 公尺以下之海水。近年來，深層海水已成為東部地區之重要產業。而深層海水具有豐富的微量礦物質特性，根據過去研究得知，深層海水能促進微生物如紅麴菌與樟芝菌之菌絲體生長與功能性代謝物生成。而其離子成分扮演極重要之角色。發酵保健食品產業是國內生技保健產業中的重要一環，目前國內、外對於利用深層海水於發酵保健食品產業之可行性仍不清楚，而過去之研究已證實深層海水有助於促進微生物發酵保健食品之生產與功效。因此，本研究將整合目前國內、外深層海水於發酵生物技術與醫療保健之相關研究成果，以歸納深層海水應用於發酵保健產品開發之可行性。

Deep sea water (DSW) in Eastern Taiwan generally means ocean water from a depth of more than 600 m in depth. In current, DSW has been developed as the important industry in Eastern Taiwan. DSW including rich trace elements and minerals was proven to promote the growth and the secondary metabolite production of fungus such as Monascus purpureus and Antrodia camphorata. However, the ions composition in DSW should be the key factors. Functional fermentation food industry is an important part in the biotechnology and healthy industrial development. The feasibility of the application of DSW in the fermentation functional food industry is still unclear in current. Our previous studies have proven that DSW was benefit to stimulate the production and health effect of fermentation functional food. Therefore, this report is to integrate the studies of DSW on the fermentation biotechnology and health function, and further conclude the feasibility of the application of DSW in the development of fermentation functional product.
