To examine the effective use of seaweeds, sea tangle (Laminaria japonica) was extracted with water and the resultant extracts were fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Four strains of S. cerevisiae were cultured in aqueous extracts from sea tangle. S. cerevisiae SC-2, which was isolated from a traditional Korean fermented food (Meju), was selected for further study based on the results of a sensory evaluation. No significant differences in proximate compositions, such as moisture, crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash, of the sea tangle extracts before and after fermentation were observed. The reducing sugar decreased as the fermentation period increased, and the contents of some free amino acids were also affected by S. cerevisiae SC-2 fermentation. However, the content of glutamic acid, which is a major taste compound in sea tangle extract, was not affected by fermentation for up to 36 hr by the SC-2 strain. To determine the antioxidant activity of fermented sea tangle extract (fermented for 36 hr by SC-2 strain), the radical scavenging activities of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide, and nitric oxide were investigated and xanthin oxidase inhibition assay was performed. The antioxidant activity increased by 8 to 35%. The greatest enhancement of antioxidant activity was seen in the superoxide radical scavenging assay with $100\;{\mu}g/mL$ of raw and fermented sea tangle extract. The anti-inflammatory activity of fermented sea tangle extract was also enhanced. The fermented sea tangle extract showed 34.2% inhibitory activity against nitric oxide synthesis versus 11.9% for raw sea tangle extract at $100\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentration. These results suggest that fermented aqueous extracts from sea tangle are a useful resources.

Alcohol metabolizing activity of fermented sea tangle juice (FSYJ) using Lactobacillilus brevis BJ20 were evaluated by measuring relative alcohol dehydrogenease (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activities. According to the results of MTI assay. the fermented sea tangle juice by Lactobacillilus brevis BJ20 appeared safe in the cytotocxity. The relative ADH activity of FSTJ showed 124% at 10 mg/mL, which increased with increasing concentration. The relative ALDH activity showed, however, insignificant difference (P>0.05) between concentrations of FSTJ up to 50 mg/mL. These results suggested that fermented sea tangle juice by L. brevis BJ20 could be used as a potential material for metabolizing alcohol.

The goal of this study was to investigate moisture sorption characteristics of Lactobacillus brevis-fermented sea tangle Saccharina japonica, Mekabu fucoidan, and these mixture powders. Moisture sorption isotherms of powders were determined at 37℃ using the static gravimetric technique in a water activity (aw) range of 0.11-0.93. Equilibrium moisture content (Xeq) values of the fermented sea tangle powder were almost 3 times when aw<0.7 and increased upto almost 4 times when aw<0.9 higher than mekabu fucoidan powder. In these reason, to improve strong hygroscopic nature of the fermented sea tangle powder, fermented sea tangle and mekabu fucoidan powders were dissolved as ratios of 7:3, 5:5, and 3:7 (w/w) in a distilled water and then freeze dried. Xeq values of mixture powders were around average value of sum of both powders at all aw ranges. All moisture sorption isotherms of powders exhibited typical J-shaped type III. Xeq of mixture powders increased with increasing aw and decreased as increasing proportion of mekabu fucoidan powder. The Peleg model was found to accurately describe moisture sorption isotherms of powders. The results can be used to understand hygroscopic nature of powders, improve shelf life, and retain quality across postharvest processing.

Marine organisms are sources of many bioactive compounds, such as essential fatty acids, essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, making them useful candidates for the production of safe bioactive substances. They also synthesize glutamic acid, which can be used to produce γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS), via fermentation with Lactobacillus brevis BJ-20. This study investigated the degree to which fermented sea tangle (FST) inhibits enzymes such as acetylcholine esterase (AChE) and prolyl endopeptidase (PEP) and affects memory of normal mice using the T-maze test. FST inhibited more than 90% of AChE at 1 mg/mL and 50% of PEP at 8 mg/mL. Oral FST (100 mg/kg) significantly improved performance of normal mice on the T-maze. Therefore, sea tangle fermented with L. brevis BJ20 effectively contributes to memory improvement and might be a useful functional food ingredient.

Sleep is an essential biological process of which the underlying regulatory mechanisms involve numerous anatomical structures and biochemical substances that can be compromised by stress and the immune system. Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system (CNS). It is well established that activation of $GABA_A$ receptors promotes sleep. L. brevis BJ20 fermentation of sea tangle and oysters resulted in stress reduction and sleep inducing effects. This is the first study to report that GABA has the ability to induce sleep related hormones in mice; therefore, it has potential use as a natural sleep aid. These results suggested that sea tangle and oysters fermented by L. brevis BJ20 can be used as potential agents for stress reduction and sleep promotion.

The Laminaria japonica Aresch (Sea tangle) belongs to the brown algae and has a long history as a food material in Asia, including Korea. Recent studies have found that the fermented Sea tangle extract (FST) inhibited the differentiation of osteoclasts and protected osteoblasts from oxidative damage. This study aims to explore the possibility that FST can induce the differentiation of osteoblasts and identify the responsible mechanism. According to our results, FST induced differentiation into osteogenic cells in the presence of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells under non-toxic conditions.. This finding was confirmed by phalloidin staining, increased alkaline phosphatase activity, and calcium deposition. Additionally, it was found that this process was achieved by increasing the expression of key factors involved in osteoblast differentiation, such as runt-related transcription factor-2, osterix, β-catenin, and bone morphogenetic protein-2. Moreover, FST increased autophagy, which may contribute to the maintenance of the bone formation homeostasis, and is associated with the activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. Although further research about the bioactive substances contained in FST and the tests of their efficacy are required, the results of this study indicate that FST has incredible applicability as a functional material for maintaining the bone homeostasis.

활성산소는 많은 경우에 성인병, 염증, 암, 동맥경화 등과 관련되어 있다. 따라서 항산화물질의 섭취는 성인병 예방이나 치료에 도움이 될 수 있다. 보리, 쑥, 다시마, 대두는 자연식품으로 항산화물질을 포함하고 있다. 이들을 발효시켰을 때, 원재료에 비해 항산화도가 증가할 수 있는지 여부를 결정하였다. 항산화도를 결정하기 위해서는 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)를 이용하였다. 보리, 쑥, 다시마, 대두를 Bacillus licheniformis Bl으로 발효 시켰을 때, ethanol 추출 발효산물의 항산화도는 원재료에 비해 각각, 2.6, 1.6, 2.7, 1.7배로 증가하였다. 또한,250∼300 nm에 걸쳐 발효대두의 ethanol 추출성분의 peak 영역이 대두의 것에 비해 뚜렷하게 높았으며, 이는 이런 구성성분의 차이가 양 항산화도의 차이와 관련되어 있을 가능성을 제시해 준다. Paraquat는 Escherichia coli내부에서 활성산소를 만들어 균의 성장을 억제하는 것으로 알려져 있다. Ethanol로 추출한 발효대두 성분은 paraquat 의한 균의 억제를 회복시킬 수 있었다. 이는 발효대두 성분이 체내에서도 이용될 수 있는 가능성을 보여준다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of a microbial fermentation procedure to improve the functional qualities of seaweeds. Aspergillus oryzae, which has been used in traditional Korean fermented foods, was inoculated and cultivated in an aqueous extract of sea tangle (Laminaria japonica). Fermentation of the sea tangle extract by A. oryzae for 4 days resulted in a 3-fold increase in $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content. GABA is known to be a bioactive compound. Fungal fermentation of the extract also enhanced its antioxidant activity and increased its total content of phenolic compounds. It was assumed that these changes stemmed from the biodegradation of active compounds of the sea tangle packaged within its rigid structural matrix or occurred as result of fungal fermentation. These results suggested that the application of microbial fermentation to the processing of seaweeds will help in the development of processed foods to meet consumer demands.

To enhance the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content, the optimized fermentation of soybean with added sea tangle extract was evaluated at 30℃ and pH 5.0. The medium was first inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae strain FMB S46471 and fermented for 3 days, followed by the subsequent inoculation with Lactobacillus brevis GABA 100. After fermentation for 7 days, the fermented soybean showed approximately 1.9 g/kg GABA and exhibited higher ACE inhibitory activity than the traditional soybean product. Furthermore, several peptides in the fraction containing the highest ACE inhibitory activity were identified. The novel fermented soybean enriched with GABA and ACE inhibitory components has great pharmaceutical and functional food values.
