Complementary DNA encoding chloroplast outer envelope membrane protein (OEP) from the halophyte Salicornia herbacea has been cloned and sequenced. The full length cDNA is 596 bp and encodes a polypeptide of 91 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 8.9 kDa. The expression level of ShOEP increased by salt, drought and ABA treatments. ShOEP expression was largely induced in roots and shoots by high salts. The biological function of ShOEP was examined by yeast complementation. ShOEP can suppress Na$^{+}$ sensitivity of yeast mutant (cnb$\Delta$) in the presence of salt. These results suggest that ShOEP is a salt inducible gene and may have functions in the regulation of plant salt stress.ant salt stress.

Objectives : In this study, we investigated the biological activities such as anti-obesity using Samwondan ethanol extract (SWD). SWD is a complex with Salicornia herbacea Linnaeus, Saururus chinensis Baill and Houttuynia cordata Thunberg as the main raw material.Methods : The SWD was extracted 80% ethanol. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were induced adipogenesis by differentiation media with SWD at 1 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL, and 100 μg/mL. Effect of SWD performed using MTT assay, oil red O staining (observation by microscope), and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Also we measured production of triglyceride (TG), fatty acid, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC).Results : Non-cytotoxicity was in all test group from range of 1 μg/mL to 100 μg/mL on pre-adipocyte. The droplet and production of lipid were decreased significantly by the SWD. And TG was decreased by approximately 89%, 85% and 82%, upon the SWD treatment at concentration of 1 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL, and 100 μg/mL. Moreover, the SWD showed inhibitory effects on the expression of the C/EBP (CCAAT/enhaner binding protein)β, C/EBPα, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorγgenes in adipocytes. The SWD at 100 μg/mL concentration showed inhibitory effect on fatty acid production by 79%. Also ACC production were decreased dose-dependently.Conclusions : From the results above, we concluded that the SWD indicated significantly anti-obesity effects.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and fibrinolytic activities of saltwort fermented juice. Saltwort extract was fermented using lactic acid bacteria at $30^{\circ}C$ for 3 days and the fermented juice was analyzed for its functionality as a potential functional food source. The addition of sugar improved the cell viability during fermentation of saltwort. At the concentration of 50%, lyophilized fermented juice showed DPPH-radical scavenging activities of 23.7% and SOD-likely activity of 34.5%. Fibrinolytic activity of fermented juice was also observed at a concentration of 25%. In conclusion, saltwort fermented juice appears to have not only anti-oxidant effect but also cardiovascular protection.

Classwort (Salicornia herbacea L.), a halophyte, is a potential functional food resource in Korea. This study was conducted to determine the antioxidant activity of glasswort, as a functional food material, on the lipid oxidation of pork. To compare antioxidant effect of different parts of glasswort, samples such as dried ground leaves, stems, and roots of glasswort were prepared. The antioxidant activity was determined by the TBARS(Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances) method. Freeze-dried leaves of glasswort at 0 day of storage had the lowest TBARS values, suggesting the highest antioxidant effect. But the antioxidative effect of freeze-dried leaves of glasswort was less than that of BHT. At 7 days after storage, however, the values were not different from oven-dried leaves. The oven-dried leaves at 14 days after storing should highest antioxidative activity. In conclusion, antioxidative effect of glasswort was apparently exhibited through measurement of TBARS. Antioxidative effect from ground leaf sample of glasswort harvested in coastal region was the highest, followed by root and stem samples. Glasswort had twice as high antioxidative effect as sea salt and bamboo salt.

This study was performed to examine the optimum addition amount of saltwort(Salicornia herbacea L.) powder to rice flour in the preparation of saltwort Sulgidduk. Saltwort powder was added to rice powder at ratios of 5, 10, 15 and 20%(w/w). The moisture contents of Sulgidduk were increased with the addition of saltwort powder. The pH contents of Sulgidduk were decreased with the addition of saltwort powder. The incorporation of saltwort powder in Sulgidduk lowered the lightness but increased the redness values. Mineral contents of Sulgidduk were increased with the addition of saltwort powder. The hardness and brittleness were decreased, whereas cohesiveness was increased with the addition of saltwort powder. In the sensory evaluation of saltwort Sulgidduk, the acceptance of flavor, taste, chewiness and overall acceptability characteristics was the highest at the 5% level. Saltwort Sulgidduk, with the addition of 5% of saltwort powder to rice flour was found to be the best recipe in terms of the sensory qualities.

Hyperlipidemia is one of the major factors causing the atherosclerosis of coronary arteries and a well-documented modifiable risk factor for stroke, especially of the ischemic type. Constipation is the condition of being unable to empty the bowels frequently enough or effectively. However, it is usually temporary and not a serious disease. Salicornia herbacea is a sea coast plant that grows on the western and southern coastal beaches and salt flats of the Korean peninsula. Belonging to Chenopodiaceae by biological classification. Salicornia herbacea is not known from research except that it contains plenty of minerals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with Hamcho-hwanand to observe changes in total cholesterol (T-Chol) high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), triglyceride (TG) and constipation. After treatment, total cholesterol decreased from 273mg/dl to 235mg/dl. Triglyceride decreased from 201mg/dl to 126mg/dl. HDL cholesterol increased from 30mg/dl to 40mg/dl. Constipation changed for the better. These results support a role for oriental medical therapy in treating hyperlipidemia and constipation. Further case studies of herbal treatment of this ailment are needed.

To evaluate the physioactivity of Salicornia herbacea L. (SH), which are obtained from Sunchon bay as wild plants, an SH extract was prepared by freeze drying to obtain SH, and by cold drying to obtain SH. For the evaluation of their bioactivities, cell viability and antioxidative effect were measured. The XTT assay was adopted to measure cell viability after C6 glioma cells were treated with various concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) for 8 hours. The DPPH-radical scavenging activity was also measured for the antioxidative effect. In this study, the $XTT_{50}$ value of $H_2O_2$ was determined at $30{\mu}M$ which was highly toxic based on the cytotoxic criteria by Borenfreund and Puerner. The protective effect of SH extract significantly increased cell viability compared with $H_2O_2$-treated group. Its antioxidative effect showed a significant DPPH-radical scavenging activity at concentrations of $1-100{\mu}g/mL$, while SH extract showed highly a DPPH-radical scavenging activity at only $100{\mu}g/mL$. From these results, $H_2O_2$ was highly toxic in cultured C6 glioma cells, and SH extract was effective in the prevention of cell damage by its antioxidative effect.
