In this study, the canadian peat moss extract was purified by a supercritical ₂ using three different conditions and assessed its biological activities. Peat moss was extracted by acid-alkaline extraction method (sample 1) and purified by a supercritical $CO_2$ at $40^{\circ}C$ under pressure of 100 bar (sample 2), 120 bar (sample 3) or 150 bar (sample 4). We evaluated the antioxidant activities of the samples by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging, $Fe^{2+}$/ascorbate (FTC) and 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) methods. The antioxidant activities were examined by comparing the results with that of ascorbic acid as a positive control. Sample 3 showed relatively higher DPPH radical-scavenging activities than other samples. The antioxidant activity by FIC method exhibited similar results as the DPPH radical-scavenging activities. On the other hand, sample 2 showed higher antioxidant activity measured by TBA method of all. The whitening effects of the samples were examined using mushroom tyrosinase and B16F10 melanoma cells. Sample 3 exhibited overall significant whitening effects, however, other samples showed relatively lower effects. These results suggest that the peat moss extract purified by a supercritical ₂ could be used as a cosmetic ingredient for the anti-aging and whitening effects.

본 연구에서는 근래에 퇴적된 습지토양의 유기물질에 느린 흡착부분이 존재하는지 살펴보기 위해 흡착실험을 행하였다. 최근 퇴적된 민물 습지토양에서의 소수성 유기화합물 (chlorobenzene and phenanthrene)의 흡착 특성을 회분식 흡착법을 사용하여 결정하였다. 유기물질의 나이의 상대 척도로서 산소/탄소 원소비 등을 포함한 여러 방법으로서 평가하였다. 토양의 나이가 유기화합물의 습지토양에서의 흡착에 차이를 유발하는지에 대해 조사하기 위하여 습지 토양의 표층부(상층부 0-2cm, 5년 미만)과 하층부(below 10cm, 20년 이상)에 대한 느린 흡착 특성을 상대적으로 오래된 PPI(Petro Processors, Inc. Superfund site), BM(Bayou Manchac) 토양과 비교하였다. 느린 흡착모델 변수의 비선형성(KF와 N)의 증가로서 느린 흡착부분이 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 느린 흡착모델의 분석결과 상당한 크기의 느린 흡착부분이 존재하였으며 습지 토양의 경우 흡착된 chlorobenzene의 25.4-263%가 phenanthrene의 경우 흡착된 양의 1.4-1.9%(phenanthrene)가 각각 느린 흡착 부분에 해당하였으며, PPI 토양과 BM토양의 경우 흡착된 chlorobenzene의 40.0-55.93%와 흡착된 phenanthrene의 2.9-3.19%가 각각 느린 흡착 부분에 해당하였다. 느린 흡착 부분은 상층부 < 하층부 < PPI < BM 토양의 순으로 증가하였는데 이것은 토양 유기물질의 나이가 증가할수록 느린 흡착부분의 크기가 증가함을 나타낸다.

Purpose : Marine therapy is an activity that promotes public health such as constitution improvement, immunity improvement, and anti-aging by utilizing marine therapeutic resources such as seawater, mud, seaweed, salt and sea climate. In Europe developed countries, the marine therapy industry has been developing for centuries, with France, Germany, and Israel leading the way. Currently, it has achieved great industrial achievements and is of great help in improving the human health. The purpose of this study is to investigate how marine therapeutic resources benefit to human health, as well as how to study and utilize their efficacy. We analyzed previous research articles related to the effects of marine therapeutic resources. Methods : The study included a total of 830 published literatures in the last 20 years from the Republic of Korea and other contries. PubMed and Google Scholar were utilized to collect the foreign source while the local scientific publications were accessed through the Korean Education and research Information Service (KERIS) and Korean studies Information Service System (KISS). The keywords used to search foreign literature were "marine therapy", "Thalassotherapy", "seawater", "deep seawater", "saline groundwater", "sand therapy", "mud therapy", "hydrotherapy", "seaweed", "Sun light", "sea salt", "marine animal", and "marine microorganisms" were combined, and for the domestic literature, the keywords were "marine therapy", "marine therapeutic resources", "seawater", and "sand". Results : A total of 830 research papers were found as a result of searching for domestic and international papers related to marine therapeutic resources. The collected documents were classified into 175 seawater resources, 259 marine mineral resources, 41 marine environment, and 355 marine organisms. The efficacy of each marine therapeutic resources was analyzed. By resources type, there were about 213 papers on the efficacy of seaweed, followed by about 175 papers on seawater, 142 on microorganisms, 124 on mud/peat, and sand, salt, minerals and others are appeared in order (Table 1). Conclusion : Korea has the highest marine biodiversity index, excellent tidal flats, four distinct seasons, and various sea environments of the East sea, Yellow sea, South sea and Jeju sea. For this reason, Korea has a much more diverse marine therapeutic resources than other advanced countries in the marine therapy industry. prebiously, we thought that the sea was only valuable as a shipping port and fishery industry. But now, it been shown that the ocean can become a new industrial field which can contribute to human health and well-being by providing healing and therapy to people through the gift of marine resources.
