Immunization of layers against Salmonella gallinarum(S.G.) which causes fowl typhoid resulted in production of anti-S.G. IgY rich eggs. Water soluble fraction was obtained from egg yolk using various gum solutions such as 0.1%(Sigma C-3889) λ-carrageenan; 1% and 2% cold water soluble carrageenan; 1% and 2% hot water soluble carrageenan; and 1% cold water soluble carrageenan with 1% hot water soluble carrageenan. Among them, λ-carrageenan 0.1% treatment showed a high recovery rate, possessing high IgY contents. In the range of pH 5-9, more than 70 percent of IgY was existent. Moreover, Anti-S.G. IgY was relatively heat-stable. This study revealed that immunoglobulin against fowl typhoid could be produced successfully by layers and the IgY was sustainable to further processing due to its pH and heat stability. IgY is promising to be utilized for prevention and treatment of fowl typhoid in industrial scale.

There is a growing demand for natural materials to replace adhesives based on volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, the exclusion of VOCs from the manufacturing process leads to difficulties in manufacturing, and reduction in productivity and preservability. In this paper, we report the manufacture of natural bioadhesives using the carrageenan component of seaweed. λ-carrageenan, isolated from the extracted total carrageenan, was used to prepare a highly stable adhesive for paper. The resulting composition was 52.0 ± 1.0% λ-carrageenan, 30.5 ± 0.5% Polyvinylpyrrolidone, 1.0 ± 0.05% ethylhexylglycerin, 1.5 ± 0.05% glycerin, 13.5 ± 0.5% dextrine, and 0.6 ± 0.05% food-grade antifoam emulsion. The viscosity was found to be 1.13 ± 0.07 × 105 cP (25℃), UV degradation occurred at pH6.22, drying rate was 15min, △b^* was -10.79, and △E^* ab was 8.18. The bioadhesive showed an excellent adhesion strength of 44.63 kgf/cm². Thus this adhesive showed excellent fungal resistance and good adhesive persistence, without the presence of total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), formaldehyde (HCHO), and heavy metals.

To probe the temperature elevation effect caused by ultrasound, a tissue mimicking phantom was newly suggested. A carrageenan gel was adopted to realize not only the required transparency for visualization but also acoustic characteristics similar to human tissue. To visualize the temperature elevation inside phantom, thermochromic film with a critical temperature of discoloration was introduced. Acoustic characteristics of the tissue mimicking phantom were examined when the concentrations of carrageenan and sucrose changed. As the results, the attenuation coefficient of the phantom could be controlled in the range of 0.44~0.49 dB/cm/MHz, and the acoustic impedance in the range of 1.52~1.77 Mrayls. We could control the acoustic characteristics of the phantom by different concentration of carrageenan and sucrose, and it was possible to examine the temperature elevation caused by ultrasound in the phantom. The suggested method was verified by noninvasively visualizing the temperature elevation due to planar and focused ultrasound using the fabricated phantom.

In this study, the hydrogels composed of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), ${\kappa}$-carrageenan (${\kappa}C$), and 1,2-hexanediol (HD) were prepared by ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation. The radiation dose was 25 kGy and the concentration of ${\kappa}C$ was 3 wt%. The physical properties of the hydrogels were investigated as a function of the concentrations of PVP and HD. The gel content and the tensile strength increased with increasing PVP concentration due to the crosslinking between the pyrrolidone molecules and decreased with increasing HD concentration. The degree of swelling was inversely proportional to the gel content because the highly crosslinked hydrogels had a tighter structure, hence reducing their water absorption. The antibacterial tests indicated that the hydrogels containing HD had antibacterial activity.

This research was carried out for searching the treatment conditions of organic acid and heating to prepare oligomers from the carrageenan. The applied treatments were autoclaving, micraowaving, and ultrasonicating with acetate, citrate, lactate, malate, and succinate. Among several physical depolymerization methods, auo-claving treatment was the most effective for hydrolyzing the carrageenan to low molecular compounds such as oligosaccharides. Citrate or malate was the most effective catalyst in hydrolyzing carrageenan to some oligo-saccharides among 5~7 different organic acids. An acceptable autoclaving condition for hydrolyzing carrageenan to oligosaccharides was to treat for 120 min at 110~12$0^{\circ}C$. The maximum depolymerization ratio produced by autoclaving was about 23.0%. The depolymerized carrageenan prepared by autoclaving at 12$0^{\circ}C$ had oligo-saccharides of 5~7 species.

In order to improve the usability of glue, a traditional adhesive material, and the gelation process of seaweed extract carrageenan, a liquid adhesive for wood preservation was prepared by mixing the two materials. The prepared wood adhesive was mixed with a 15 wt% aqueous solution of glue, λ-carrageenan, an antibacterial agent, an antifoaming agent, and the maximum adhesive strength of 1.80 Mpa was confirmed. As a result of comparison, the adhesive strength was superior to that of 5 different types of traditional natural adhesive ingredients (aqueous solution) and 1 type of polyvinyl acetate-based adhesive.

Carrageenan oligosaccharides prepared from -carrageenan by carrageenase from Pseudomonas alcaligenes. The oligosaccharides showed three spots on TLC and the degree of Polymerization of the C1, C2 and C3 spot were each 9.0$\pm$1.0, 6.0$\pm$1.5 and 2.5$\pm$1.5, respectively. Each hydrolysates and spots-C1, C2, C3-were tested the several functionalities such as antimicrobial activity, anticavity activity and anticoagulant activity. The antimicrobial and anticavity activity of carrageenan hydrolysates and oligosaccharide fractions were very low, but the anticoagulant activity was identified in all samples.

The 80 strains which produce carrageenan degrading enzyme were isolated from soils, mud, seaweed, marine moluscus and echonodermata samples. Among them, one isolated strain, which showed the highest activity to produce carrageenan degrading enzyme, was used for this study. The isolated strain was identified as Pseudomonas alcaligenes through its morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics. The best conditions for enzyme production were 0.7% nutrient broth and 0.2% carrageenan as nitrogen and carbon source, respectively. The optimal pH, NaCl, temperature and culture time for carrageenan degrading enzyme were 7.0, 1.5%, 30* and 96hrs, respectively.

Laminated films were prepared by casting corn-zein and fatty acid mixed solutions onto ${\kappa}-carrageenan$ films, and the effect of various fatty acids with different concentrations on the film properties such as water vapor permeabilities (WVP), tensile strength (TS) and elongation was investigated. WVP of the film decreased as concentration of fatty acids increased, and the lowest WVP value $(0.497\;ng\;m/m^2\;s\;Pa)$ was achieved with laminated films containing 30% lauric acid/corn-zein. The TS of laminated edible film seemed to decrease as the concentration of fatty acids increased, and TS of the laminated film was the highest (36.21 MPa) when the film contained 10% oleic acid. Weight loss of the minced mackerels packaged with corn-zein/carrageenan film which did not contain fatty acid was 11.7%, but weight losses of the samples packaged with oleic acid and lauric acid were 6.97% and 0.81%, respectively, after 30 days storage at $-20^{\circ}C$. The laminated films had an effect on preventing oxidation of the minced mackerels during storage because of high oxygen barrier property of the film. All of the minced mackerels packaged with the laminated films greatly reduced the peroxide value (POV) compared with unpackaged minced mackerels during storage. Also, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values of the minced mackerels packaged with the laminated films were lower than that of unpackaged minced mackerels during storage.
