We investigated the anti-proliferative effects of solar salt and purified salt (PS) on HepG2 human hepatocellular cancer cells as well as their effects on mRNA and protein expression of apoptosis- and cell cycle-related genes, including Bcl-2, Bax, p53, and p21. Each salt sample suppressed cancer cell proliferation when treated at a concentration of 0.5% or 1%. Especially solar salt from T salt field (SS-T) and solar salt from Y salt field (SS-Y) significantly suppressed proliferation of cancer cells in comparison with PS. Treatment of HepG2 cells with salt samples at a concentration of 1% suppressed expression of Bcl-2 and promoted expression of Bax, p53, and p21 at the mRNA and protein levels in comparison with the control group. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) showed that SS-T and SS-Y had higher concentrations of Ca, Mg, S, and K than PS, and SS-T contained higher concentrations of these minerals than SS-Y. It seems that Na and mineral contents in solar salt may contribute to regulation of the genes. Taken together, salt, especially mineral rich solar salt, inhibits cancer cell growth by regulating apoptosis and cell cycle-related genes.

머드는 알루미늄, 철, 마그네슘 등의 미네랄이 풍부하여 원적외선 방사율이 높고, 미량 포함된 단백질과 비타민은 피부의 세포조직을 강화하고 탄력성을 주며, 항균, 소취 등의 기능을 보유하고 있다. 이러한 유익한 기능을 가진 머드를 매일 사용하는 면타올에 적용하려 하나 무기 염재인 머드는 섬유와 친화성이 없어 일반 염료처럼 고농도로 섬유에 염색되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 섬유의 촉감에 영향을 미치지 않으면서 머드의 염색농도를 높이기 위해, 4종의 고착제를 이용한 염색법을 검토하였다. 먼저 식물성 단백질액으로 면타올을 전처리하고 나노입자의 머드액를 사용하여 염착시킨 경우가 가장 진하게 염색되며, 염색견뢰도 측정 결과 세탁과 땀에 모두 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

새우젓은 새우와 소금만을 원료로 하여 제조하는데, 최근 수입산 소금의 유입이 급증하고 있어 새우젓에도 이들 수입산 소금의 사용이 늘어가고 있다. 수입산 소금은 수분과 식염함량이 국산 소금과 다를 뿐 아니라 불순물과 무기질 등의 성분 또한 차이가 있다. 본 연구는 소금의 종류가 새우젓에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해, 국산천일염, 중국산천일염, 정제염의 세 가지 소금으로 27%의 염농도로 새우젓을 제조한 후 2$0^{\circ}C$ 항온기에서 180일간 숙성 및 발효가 진행되는 동안 이화학적 변화(pH, 염도, 휘발성 염기질소, 아미노태질소, 색상)를 분석하였다. 세 가지 소금의 새우젓 모두 숙성이 진행되면서 단백질 분해 산물인 휘발성 염기질소, 아미노태 질소의 함량이 증가하였는데, 국산 천일염 새우젓이 더 많이 증가하였다. 즉, 숙성 180일 후 휘발성염기질소, 아미노태 질소 함량은 각각 국산천일염 새우젓의 경우 200mg%, 749mg%, 2.3lmg%인 반면, 중국산천일염 새우젓은 67.23mg%, 630mg%, 1.22mg%이었고, 정제염 새우젓은 100.85mg%, 634mg%, 1.76mg%로 나타났다. 지방산패도는 국산천일염 새우젓은 23일(2.450), 중국산천일염 새우젓은 58일(1.771), 정제염 새우젓(2.514)까지 증가한 후 감소하였다. 이상의 결과로 소금의 종류가 새우젓의 숙성에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study was conducted around the southwest sea areas of Jeju and coastal sea areas of China in August 2003 and September 2004 to research distribution patterns of dissolved inorganic nutrients, dissolved and particulate organic carbon. Distribution patterns of nutrients in the East China Sea in summer were shown to be influenced by water masses and phytoplankton. Water masses in the East China Sea in summer, except for coastal sea areas of china, showed less vertical mixing process, causing decline in the inflow of nutrients to surface water. Bottom water, however, showed high concentration, since nutrients made by dissolved organic matters from surface water were accumulated at the bottom. Sea areas with high concentration of chlorophyll a showed low concentration of nutrients and vice versa, indicating biological activities control dissolved inorganic nutrients. The distribution of dissolved organic carbon didn't show any correlation with salinity, temperatures, and water masses. Areas around the river mouth of the Changjiang showed high concentration of dissolved organic carbon more than $100{\mu}M$, but relatively low concentration in the southwest sea areas of Jeju, indicating that the river mouth of the Changjiang coastal water has a great influence on dissolved organic carbon in the East China Sea. Distribution patterns of particulate organic carbon in the research areas showed the highest concentration of average $9.23{\mu}M$ in coastal areas of China influenced by the river mouth of the Changjiang coastal water. By comparison, the concentration was relatively low at $3.04{\mu}M$ in the southeast sea areas of Jeju on which the Taiwan warm current has influence, and was $7.23{\mu}M$ in the central sea areas of Jeju. Thus, there is much indication that the river mouth of the Changjiang coastal water serves as a supplier of particulate organic carbon along with autogenous source. In general, if particulate organic carbon has a high correlation with the concentration of Chlorophyll a, it is thought that it is originated from autogenous source. However, the southeast sea areas of Jeju shows low salinity below 30, therefore it is proper to think that its origin is terrestrial source rather than that of autogenesis.

Effects of KCl addition in brining solution, microwave heating and salts mixture addition into half fermented Kakdugi on physical and sensory properties were investigated during fermentation and storage. The concentration range of salts added were $0.001{\sim}0.01\;M$. The hardness of the Chinese radish was rapidly reducing during first 30 minutes of fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$ and then slightly decreased thereafter, while storage at $4^{\circ}C$ caused much slower decrease. Kakdugi prepared by salting in NaCl-KCI solution showed a slight higher values in hardness. The Hunter color values of Kakdugi liquid was steadily increased in 'L' value and slight decrease in 'a' value during fermentation. The Kakdugi prepared by salting in NaCl-KCl solution and stored after addition of salts mixture was evaluated desirable for organoleptic odor and taste.

To understand the significance of urea in the pool size of nitrogenous nutrients and in nitrogen (N) requirements of primary producers in and estuarine system of Mankyung and Dongjin rivers nutrients, and urea decomposition rates between June 1992 and February 1994. Urea concentration during the study period ranged from undetectable to 12.5 ug-at. N 1/SUP -1/, contributing to 0-96% (mean of 11%) of the total nitrogenous nutrients in the study area. Urea comprised a major component of the total nitrogenous nutrients when concentration of total nitrogenous nutrients was low. Urea decomposition rates in the water column ranged from 0.02 to 5.77 nM h/SUP -1/, and netplankton was the major decomposer of urea. Vertical distributions of urea decomposition rates in the water column showed generally small variabilities (i.e. < 3 fold). The decomposition rates of urea in the MD estuary would supply 0.2 ∼88.4% of phytoplankton N requirements. The major contribution of urea to phytoplankton N requirements was found when phytoplankton production was low (<50 mg C m/SUP -2/d/SUP -1/).

To investigate the effect of a solar salt on Kimchi fermentation, Chinese cabbages were brined with four-years aged solar salt (FS), one-year aged solar salt (OS), and purified salt (PS). The Kimchi was fermented at $7^{\circ}C$ for 33 days. The changes in pH and acidity of the Kimch brined with PS was slower than those of Kimchis brined with FS and OS. In the Kimchis with FS and OS, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts increased from 7.10~7.22 log CFU/mL at 0 day to 9.26~9.42 log CFU/mL at 12 days, after which counts slightly decreased to 8.04~8.75 log CFU/mL by 33 days of fermentation. The LAB counts of the kimchi with PS slowly increased from 7.24 log CFU/mL at 0 day to 8.99 log CFU/mL at 27 days, after then which counts sharply decreased to 7.92 log CFU/mL by 33 days of fermentation. Yellowness (b) color values of the kimchi with PS (59.10) was higher than the Kimchi with FS (53.68) and the Kimchi with OS (53.77). Hardness of the Kimchi with FS was more firm than the other Kimchis after 33 days storage. Sensory evaluation of the Kimchi with FS showed higher score than that of the other Kimchis.

In this study, we investigated the effect of ocean fertilization by deep sea water, using an ecosystem model which contains not only phytoplankton but also zooplankton. The model is based on NEMURO which consists of eleven compartments - two species of phytoplankton, three species of zooplankton, $NO_3$, $NH_4$, $Si(OH)_4$, particulate organic nitrogen, dissolved organic nitrogen and particulate silicon. We introduced nitrogen cell quota in the both species of phytoplankton, and silicon cell quota in the large phytoplankton in addition to the eleven compartments of NEMURO. We made the experiment at Izu Oshima Island in order to investigate the effect of ocean fertilization. In this experiment, we could not find clear differences between the cases with and without deep sea water. We investigated the causes of the experiment results by the model simulations. One of the causes was high concentrations of nutrients in surface seawater used in the experiment. Another was that the increase of total concentration of inorganic nitrogen does not necessarily accelerate the photosynthetic rate because inorganic nitrogen uptake rate is related to the ratio of $NO_3$ to $NH_4$. Because the model can represent the results of the experiment, we investigated the effect of ocean fertilization by deep sea water using this model. We found that the effect of ocean fertilization hardly appeared when the interval of the addition of deep sea water was too short, or the amount of deep sea water was too much. It is supposed that if the addition of deep sea water is too frequent or too much, the dilution of plankton's concentrations will exceed the effect of promoting phytoplankton's photosynthesis.
