This study was performed to investigate the inhibitory activity of Sargassum thunbergii (ST) against ${\alpha}$-amylase and elucidate the availability of ST extract as a functional food agent. To test the inhibitory activity of ST against ${\alpha}$-amylase, porcine pancreatic ${\alpha}$-amylase and potato starch were used as substrates. It was revealed that ST crude ethanol extracts have high ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity. Subsequently, ST crude ethanol extract was separated into five partition layers by solvent extraction: n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water. Chloroform and n-hexane fractions showed higher inhibitory activities than did acarbose (positive control). To confirm the changes in enzyme inhibitory activity by physical treatments, ST crude ethanol extract was subjected to heat, pH, and ${\gamma}$-irradiation treatments. In all heat treatments with the exception of one ($121^{\circ}C$, 15 min), the inhibitory activity was increased compared with the untreated group. With regard to pH stability, ST extract showed no significant changes at pH 4.6, but somewhat decreased inhibitory activity was revealed at pH 2, 8, and 10. On the other hand, ST ethanol extract was stable under ${\gamma}$-irradiation under all conditions (3.20 kGy). In summary, ST ethanol extract can be used in the food industry as a natural ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitor.

지충이 물 추출물을 알긴산 분해능을 가진 V. crassostreae PKA 1002 유래 조효소액을 이용하여 가수분해시킨 후 pH, 색도 및 항산화 활성의 변화를 살펴보았다. 지충이 물 추출물과 조효소액을 30℃에서 0, 3, 6, 12 및 24시간 반응시켜 환원당 생성능과 점도의 변화를 살펴본 결과, 환원당 생성능은 반응 6시간에서 357.82 μg/ml로 가장 높아졌으며, 점도는 0시간에서 1.57 cp에서 반응 6시간에서 1.22 cP로 가장 낮아져 6시간에서 최적분해 조건임을 확인하였다. 최적 조건에서 pH 및 색도는 지충이 물 추출물과 효소분해물이 각각 6.11과 6.15로 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 색도는 효소분해물이 물 추출물보다 명도는 감소하고 적색도 및 황색도는 모두 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. TPC 함량은 지충이물 추출물과 효소분해물이 2.54 및 2.55 mg/g으로 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능 측정 결과, 지충이 효소분해물이 0.05−5 mg/ml 농도에서 물 추출물보다 낮은 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 보였다. 반면, chelating effect 측정 결과, 0.05−5 mg/ml 농도에서 효소분해물의 활성이 물 추출물보다 유의적으로 높아짐을 확인하였다. Reducing power 측정 결과, 0.005−1 mg/ml 농도에서 지충이 물 추출물과 효소분해물간 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 지충이 효소분해물은 지충이 물 추출물보다 금속봉쇄력의 활성이 증진됨을 확인하여, 주로 DPPH 라디칼 소거능에서 항산화 활성을 나타낸 지충이 물 추출물과 달리 금속봉쇄력작용에 의해 항산화 활성을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

An overview of the spatial and seasonal patterns of phytobenthic communities is described from the intertidal zone at Hawon-Pando on the southwestern coast of Korea based on quantitative and qualitative estimates of macroalgae. There were considerable variations of macroalgal diversity and cover value with the intertidal levels. Tn general, the number of species decreased with increasing intertidal height. The upper region was dominated by Sargassum thunbergii. S. thunbergii and crustose red algae were dominant in the mid intertidal habitat. In the lower intertidal Corallina pilulifera and crustose red algae were the conspicuous dominants. Macroalgal community structure at Hawon-Pando is discussed in the context of functional-form groups. The Hawon-Pando intertidal is characterized as consisting of a relatively high cover of species assigned to the thick leathery, crustose and jointed calcareous groups, and is distinguished by a paucity of the filamentous group.

As a part of our search for novel antioxidants from the seaweeds, we have investigated radical scavenging effect for their crude extracts using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, authentic peroxynitrite, and 3-morpholinsydnonimine (SIN-1), a peroxynitrite-generating species in vitro. Thirty-four seaweeds were screened for $ONOO^-$ and DPPH radical scavenging activities. A potent inhibitory effect against peroxynitrite generated by SIN-1 at $5{\mu}g/ml$ of methanol extracts was observed in order of Ishige okamurae(95.3%), Sargassum hemiphyllum(90.2%), Symphyocladia latiuscula(89.6%), Porphyra suborbiculata(86.7%), and Gelidium amamsii(85.9%), Also, a significant scavenging effect against direct authentic peroxynitrite was revekaled for methanol extracts of Ishige okamurae(66.2%) and Sargassum hemiphyllum(55.2%) and the acetone/methylene chloride(1:1) extract of Gigatina tenella (61.0%). In our measurement for evaluating the capacity to scavenge the stable free radical of DPPH, acetone/methylene chloride(1:1) extracts of Symphyocladia latiuscula, Gloiopeltis furcata, and Sargassum thunbergii and the methanol extract of Sargassum sp. showed an inhibitory potency of 85.8%, 82.8%, 74.1%, and 64.0%, respectively.

The seasonal variation of marine algal biomass and community were studied with nondestructive sampling and quadrat method during May 2006 to April 2008 in the intertidal and subtidal zone at Yokjido. As result, total 120 species, 13 Chlorophyta, 34 Phaeophyta, 71 Rhodophyta and 2 Spermatophyta were identified in this study. The major species which contributed significantly to the total biomass were Ulva pertusa, Undaria pinnatifida, Ecklonia stolonifera, Sargassum horneri, S. serratifolium, Gelidium amansii and Prionitis cornea. The mean biomass was 235.5 g wet wt m$^{-2}$ in intertidal, 1,038.9 g wet wt m$^{-2}$ in 1 m, 1,013.1 g wet wt m$^{-2}$ in 5 m, and 19.7 g wet wt m$^{-2}$ in 10 m depths of mean sea level. Seasonal biomass change in intertidal zone, the peak season was in spring, while the lowest was in autumn. The vertical distribution of marine vegetation was characterized by Ulva pertusa - Gelidium divaricatum - Gloiopeltis furcata - Sargassum thunbergii - Hizikia fusiformis at intertidal zone, and Caulerpa okamurae - Gelidium amansii - Chondrus ocellatus - Ecklonia stolonifera - Sargassum horneri - Gracilaria textorii at subtidal zone. These result indicates that the marine algal species and biomass of 1 m and 5 m depths in subtidal zone are greater than intertidal zone, and Ecklonia stolonifera and Sargassum spp. are the dominant species of Yokjido.

The antimicrobial activity of water and ethanol extracts from 30 species of algae was measured using the agar diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test. In agar diffusion method, the 95% ethanol extracts from 12 of the algae showed growth inhibition against the tested microorganisms. In particular, Ishige okamurai, Ecklonia stolonifera, Sargassum siliquastrum, Sargassum thunbergii, Colpomenia bullosa, and Ecklonia cava had strong antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria at 4 mg/mL. In the results of the MIC test, S. siliquastrum showed the most antimicrobial activity, where its MIC values ranged from 0.005 to 0.0075% against Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium perfringens, and Basillus subtilis. In the thermal stability test, for the ethanol extracts of I. okamurai, E. cava, S. siliquastrum, S. thunbergii, and C. bullosa, the extracts proved to maintain high antimicrobial activities when they were treated at $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. In the pH stability test, the antimicrobial activity of the S. siliquastrum ethanol extract was stable from pH 2 to 10, whereas the activity of the other species ethanol extracts were weakened under pH 10 against several microbes.

Beakryoung-do is located in the north along the western coast of South Korea. Owing to its geographical limitations, not many studies have been conducted on marine algae in this region. This study aims to investigate the marine algal flora and the community structure in the intertidal and subtidal zones of Nampo-ri, Beakryoung-myeon, Ongin-gun, Incheon regions of South Korea. The study was conducted from August 2015 to June 2016 during all seasons. A total of 95 algal species, including 7 green algae, 12 brown algae, and 76 red algae were collected and identified; 52 algal species were found in the intertidal zone and 83 in the subtidal zone. The vertical distribution of algae from upper to lower intertidal zone was Neorhodomela aculeata - Caulacanthus okamurae, Gelidiophycus freshwateri - Neorhodomela aculeata, Caulacanthus okamurae - Sargassum thunbergii, Caulacanthus okamurae. Findings indicated that Sargassum thunbergii and Neorhodomela aculeata were the biomass-dominant species in the intertidal zone and Corallina officinalis and Undaria pinnatifida were biomass-dominant in the subtidal zone. Average values of marine algae biomass in the intertidal and subtidal zones were 252.6 g wet weight m^-2 and 291.9 g wet weight m^-2, respectively. Further, 38 new species were found in Beakryoung-do, with 25 of them specifically found in the subtidal zone. More studies on marine algal flora in the subtidal zone are needed to understand the changes in marine flora along the western coast.

본 연구는 지충이 추출물의 lipase 저해활성을 알아보고, 식품산업에 적용가능성을 확인하기 위해 열, pH 및 감마선 조사에 대한 안정성을 검토하였다. 지충이 추출물을 1, 2.5 및 5 mg/mL의 농도에서 lipase 저해활성을 측정한 결과, 에탄올 추출물에서 각각 16.12, 19.32 및 37.37%의 저해활성을 보여 물 추출물보다 높은 저해활성을 보였다. 높은 저해활성을 보인 지충이 에탄올 추출물의 열 안정성을 검토한 결과, 모든 처리구에서 기존의 lipase 저해활성보다 유의적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 특히 $121^{\circ}C$, 15 min 처리구에서 대조구에 비해 약 13% 정도 저해활성이 가장 많이 증가하였다. pH 안정성을 검토한 결과, 중성영역(pH 4-8)에서는 안정하였으나, pH 2 및 10 조건하에서 대조구에 비해 다소 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 감마선 조사에 대한 안정성 검토 결과, 모든 처리구에서 유의적인 차이 없이 안정한 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로 lipase 저해활성을 지니는 지충이 에탄올 추출물이 식품산업에 폭넓게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
