Tee yields, physical properties and gel formation abilities or hot-water extractable material (HWEM) and water-soluble alginate (WSA) extracted from Laminaria japonica were estimated and compared with those of the alginate (ASA) extracted with alkali solution in the routine procedure. The contents of HWEM, WSA and ASA in Laminaria japonica were 8.3, 2.5 and $19.1\%$, respectively. The HWEM and WSA had no gel formation ability, whereas the ASA had a good gol formation ability. The HWEM and WSA were almost not viscous even in $1.5\%$ of the sample solution, whereas the ASA was very highly viscous in above $0.5\%$ of sample solution. The melting points of $1\%$ solution of HWEM, WSA and ASA sample were 31, 24 and $14^{\circ}C$, respectively. The solubility at melting point of each samples varied from 2.3 to 2.6 g/100 g water, and a few differences were observed.

This study developed a natural seasoning (NS) and characterized its food components. Hydrolysate from Alaska Pollock Theragra chalcogramma heads and sea tangle Laminaria japonica byproduct were obtained by incubating them with Neutrase for 4 h. NS was prepared by mixing sorbitol 2%, salt 2%, ginger powder 0.04%, garlic powder 0.2%, onion powder 0.2% and inosine monophosphate (IMP) 0.1% based on concentrated hydrolysates from Alaska pollock head and sea tangle byproduct before vaccum filtering. The proximate composition of NS was 82.7% moisture, 9.0% crude protein, and 5.1% ash. It had a higher crude protein content than commercial anchovy sauce (CS), it was lower in moisture and ash. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibiting activity of NS were 90.1% and 88.9%, respectively, which were superior to those of CS. The free amino acid content and total taste value of NS were 1,626.0 mg/100 mL and 165.86, respectively, which were higher than those of CS. According to the results of taste value, the major free amino acids were glutamic acid and aspartic acid. In the sensory evaluation, the color and taste of NS were superior to those of CS. No difference in fish odor between NS and CS was found.

In this study, we investigated the extraction condition of alginate from Laminaria japonica, the enzymatic degradation of the extracted alginate, and the inhibitory activity of the degraded alginate on the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The optimal conditions for the efficient extraction, precipitation, and recovery of alginate from the brown seaweed L. japonica were 1% for Na₂CO₃ concentration, 80℃ for extraction temperature, and ethanol for precipitation solvent. In the enzymatic reaction for the production of low-molecular-weight alginate (LMWA) by using alginate lyase from Flavobacterium sp., the initial concentration of Laminaria alginate was 3%. The low-molecular-weight degree from alginate was independent with the enzyme concentration, and the optimal concentration of alginate lyase was found to be 5 unit/ml. Through the enzymatic reaction with 5 unit/ml of alginate lyase at 37℃ for 3 hr, the viscosity and molecular weight of LMWA were 4.5 cp and 307 kDa, respectively. Treatment with LMWA significantly suppressed the accumulation of lipid droplet and triglyceride in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes with a dose-dependent manner. Therefore, it seems that LMWA treatment could inhibit the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. These results indicate that LMWA or the degraded alginate produced by alginate lyase enzyme can be useful for the development of anti-obesity biosubstances.

Germination and growth of Laminaria japonica microscopic stages were investigated under crossed gradients of temperatures and irradiances, and the results related to the seasonal temperature regime in the southeastern coast of Korea. Germination rates of $70\~86\%$ were observed in the temperature range of $5\~20^{\circ}C$, however, at $25^{\circ}C$ no germination of meiospores was observed. The primary factor affecting germination rates at the temperature range of $5\~20^{\circ}C$ was irradiance: germination was significantly reduced at $150 {\mu}E{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Vegetative cell production of female gametophytes was highest at $20^{\circ}C$, but plants were not fertile at the temperature. In the temperature range of $5\~15^{\circ}C$, higher irradiance caused females to reduce cell production, but increased fertility. Cell production was also low at lower temperatures with increased fertility rates. Optimal growth temperature for microsporophytes was $10^{\circ}C$ and their growth rates were light-saturated at $70 {\mu}E{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. We have concluded that meiospores released before July could develope to the young sporophytic stage in the southeastern coast of Korea which is off the southern limit of its geographical distribution. However, limiting factor in the development of natural sporophytic population in this region would be the upper temperature limit for the survival of young sporophytes, as water temperature at this area frequently exceeds $25^{\circ}C$ during the summer period.

후코이단은 혈액중에 존재하는 함황 산성다당인 헤파린(heparin)과 구조 및 생리적 특성이 유사하여 항혈액응고작용(Bernardi and Springer, 1962)을 갖고 있다는 사실이 처음으로 밝혀지게 되었다. 그후 Usui 등(1980)은 Eisenia bicyclis로부터 추출한 후코이단 획분의 항혈액응고 활성이 54 I.U.로서 헤파린의 40%정도의 높은 활성을 갖고 있다는 사실이 증명되었다. (중략)

지금까지 해양생물에 관한 연구로서 갈조류중의 미역(Undaria pinnatifida)의 주성분인 알긴산(alginic acid)의 생리활성을 중심으로 성인병의 예방과 노화 억제효과에 관한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 미역, 다시마 등 갈조류의 생리활성성분으로서 알긴산은 점성(viscosity)이 매우 커서 음료개발에 많은 문제점을 갖고 있다. 그렇지만, 후코이단 성분은 중성다당인 라미나란(laminaran)과는 달리 황산기(sulfate group)를 가진 산성의 수용성 다당류로서 항혈액응고 작용과 항종양 활성을 나타낸다고 보고되어졌다.
