The immunomodulating effect of Salicornia herbacea polysaccharides on BALB/c mice splenocytes was investigated. Crude (CS) and fine polysaccharide (PS) extracts with potential biological activity were prepared from S. herbacea. For in vitro experiments, splenocytes and separated T cells were treated with CS and PS (0.5, 1, 2, and 4 mg/mL). For in vivo experiments, the CS and PS were orally administered to BALB/c mice every day for 2 weeks. For basic data analysis, physiological parameters were recorded. Cell proliferation of splenocytes and T cells was used as an index for immunomodulating activity. The proliferation of splenocytes and separated T cells was 3.2 and 3.5 times higher than the control, respectively. Moreover, when splenocytes were treated with mitogen, the highest proliferation rate was observed in splenocytes cultured with PS. Interestingly, the stimulative activity of PS was more strongly exerted through $CD4^+$ T cells than through $CD8^+$ T cells.

Salicornia herbacea L. (S. herbacea) is an annual herbaceous plant of Chenopodiaceae. It grows in groups on the coast or mud flat of Korea is known to be rich in minerals. S. herbacea has potent anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-obesity, bowel function improvement. However, pharmacological mechanisms of S. herbacea extract (SHE) remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential acute toxicity of SHE in ICR mice administered a single oral dose of 0, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 mg/kg by gavage. After administration of the extract, signs of toxicity were observed every day for 14 days. No mortality, abnormal clinical signs, body weight, organ weight or pathological changes were observed compared to a control group, and there were no differences in the body weights of the control and treatment groups. Biological serum activities and histological tests were not significantly changed in the treatment group compared to the control group. Especially, treatment of SHE was significantly decreased of total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These results indicated that a single oral administration of SHE does not exerts any toxic effects at a dose of 2,000 mg/kg and that the $LD_{50}$ of SHE is greater than 2,000 mg/kg. Accordingly, SHE appears to have potential in various functional agents of foods, without toxicity.

퉁퉁마디(S. herbacea)는 시력저하, 소화불량, 위장병, 간염, 신장병 등 생리적 효능이 구전되어 오지만 그 약효를 입증할 만한 과학적 근거는 찾아볼 수 없었다. 이에 퉁퉁마디를 기능성 식품소재로 활용하기 위한 기초적 자료를 얻고자 퉁퉁마디의 화학 성분과 그 특성을 조사하고 항산화 효과를 측정한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 퉁퉁마디의 일반성분을 보면 수분(가지 91.46%, 줄기 90.19%), 조단백질(가지 0.97%, 줄기 1.04%), 조지방(가지 0.19%, 줄기 0.26%), 회분(가지 3.23%, 줄기 3.24%), 조섬유(가지 1.51%, 줄기 0.68%)이었으며 대체로 수분과 조섬유를 제외한 모든 성분의 함량이 줄기가 높았다. 2. 퉁퉁마디의 유리 아미노산 함량은 가지에는 10007.11 mg/100g, 줄기에는 9309.13 mg/100g의 아미노산이 함유되어 있었다. 퉁퉁마디에는 필수 아미노산의 함량이 총 아미노산 대비 가지는 12.79%, 줄기는 6.72%이었다. 특히 tryptophan, threonine는 F. A. O.의 기준에 비해 가지에서 각각 2배, 3배가량 높게 함유되어 있었다. 이는 퉁퉁마디가 제한아미노산 식품에 보충 소재로서 이용 가능성이 있음을 시사한다. 3. 퉁퉁마디의 지방산에는 포화지방산보다는 불포화지방산이 많이 함유되어 있었다. 퉁퉁마디의 가지에는 불포화 지방산이 약 80% 함유되어 있고, 줄기에는 불포화 지방산이 약 74% 함유되어 있었다. 4. 항산화제는 free radical과 반응하므로 이와같은 DPPH의 성질을 이용하여 퉁퉁마디 메탄올 추출물의 항산화능을 합성항산화제인 BHT와 비교한 결과 퉁퉁마디 가지의 메탄올 추출물 1mM(8.32)과 줄기의 메탄올 추출물 1 mM(7.74), $100{\mu}M$ (2.8)에서 100ppm BHT(1.72)보다 높은 항산화 활성이 있음을 확인하였다.

퉁퉁마디(Salicornia herbacea L.) MeOH 추출물로부터 2종의 화합물을 분리하고 DPPH 라디칼 소거 반응을 이용하여 항산화 활성을 측정하였다. UV-Vis 흡수 스펙트럼과 MS와 NMR스펙트럼으로부터 물질 1과 2는 quercetin $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$와 isorhamnetin $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$로 동정하였다. 분리된 화합물 1과 2의 DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성을 측정한 결과 1은 quercetin, rutin과 비슷한 활성을 나타내었으며, B-ring의 hydroxyl 그룹이 methoxyl 그룹으로 치환된 화합물 2는 이보다 약한 활성을 나타내었다. 화합물 1과 2는 퉁퉁마디에서는 처음으로 분리되어 보고되는 화합물이다.

This study was conducted to examine the possibility of Salicornia herbacea L. powder as a functional food beneficially affecting carbohydrate metabolism and antioxidant capacity. Twenty-four, 6-week old, maleSprague-Dawleyrats were classified into three groups: normal diet control (CON), high-fat diet control (HFC) and high fat diet + Salicornia herbacea L. (SHF). Related feed was provided to each group for 4 weeks. Weight gain rate increased most in the HFC rats, and the concentration of glucose was significantly high in both the HFC and SHF groups, compared to the CON group. The SHF group showed a significantly high expression rate of Glut 4 (21.36%), compared to the CON and HFC groups. The glycogen content in muscle was significantly high in both the HFC and SHF groups, compared to the CON group. There were significant differences in the malondialdehydecontent in muscles between the groups, with the content in the CON and HFC groups being significantly higher than the SHF group. All the groups showed a similar tendency to each other in the liver tissue as well. Concerning the expression of Cu,Zn-super oxide dismutase andglutathione peroxidaseproteins, the SHF group was significantly higher than the CON and HFC groups. Overall, the experiment result above implies a possibility that an intake of Salicornia herbacea L. powder can regulate weight by decreasing the weight gain rate, further suggesting its effectiveness as a functional food before exercise by increasing the energy storage capacity and antioxidant capacity.

Salicornia herbacea is a type of salt marsh plant that has been used in traditional medicine to treat several diseases. Isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside (I3G) and quercetin-3-O-glucoside (Q3G) are major flavonoids in S. herbacea that are known to exert various pharmacological activities. Therefore, our study sought to validate and optimize an HPLC/UV-based analytical method for I3G and Q3G yield quantification, as well as to determine its limit of detection, limit of quantification, linearity, precision, and accuracy. Upon testing a concentration range of 31.5-1.9 ㎍/mL the results exhibited good linearity (r² ≥0.9996 and r² ≥0.9999 for I3G and Q3G, respectively), and the procedure was deemed precise (relative standard deviation of ≤3.19 and ≤3.85%, respectively), and accurate (102.6-105.0 and 92.9-95.2%, respectively). The results showed that our proposed method could be used for rapid I3G and Q3G evaluation in S. herbacea.

This study was conducted to ascertain the antioxidant properties of Hamcho (Salicornia herbacea L.) and as well as manufacture pettitoes using Hamcho as a natural antioxidant material for diverse applications. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of 25, 50, 100 mg/mL in methanol extracts from Salicornia herbacea L. increased significantly (p<0.05) to 12.8%, 21.6% and 39.1%, respectively. The total phenolic content was $38.58{\pm}4.25{\mu}M$ as tannic acid equivalent for 100 mg/mL of methanol extracts from Hamcho. FRAP value was $448.58{\pm}14.01{\mu}M$ as ascorbic acid equivalent in reducing power. To apply Hamcho to food as a natural antioxidant, pettitoes were prepared with added Hamcho. To manufacture pettitoes added with Hamcho, general quality characteristics of pettitoes added with 0%, 2%, 4% and 6% based on 100 g of pettitoes were determined. In conclusion, mineral components increased according to the added amount of Salicornia herbacea L. Crude protein showed the highest value with 2% added Hamcho. Overall, the addition of Hamcho led to hardening of the meat texture. As a result of measuring color in terms of brightness, redness, and yellowness with chromaticity, the L value (brightness) increased with added amount of Hamcho. There was no significant difference in redness or yellowness. As a result of the sensory evaluation of pettitoes according to addition of Hamcho, the group with 4% added Hamcho showed enhanced overall preference with improved flavor, taste and textural properties.

함초(Salicornia herbacea)는 염습 지대에서 자생하는 명아주과에 속하는 일년초 식물로서 우리말로는 퉁퉁마디라고 불리우며, 식용과 약용으로 이용되고 있다. 건조된 함초로부터 열수 추출을 하여 조추출물(CSP)을 얻었으며, 조추출물을 한외 여과 및 gel 여과를 통해 다당체I(SP I)과 다당체 II(SP II)를 얻었다. 이렇게 얻은 함초 추출물들은 마우스 면역 조절 활성을 확인하는데 사용되었고, 실험은 시험관 내 실험과 생체 내 실험으로 나누어 진행되었다. 시험관 내 실험에서는 $7{\sim}8$주 된 Balb/c 마우스로부터 비장 세포와 T 세포를 분리하여 시료를 농도별(0.5, 1, 2, 4 mg/mL)로 처리한 후 일정 시간 배양하여 MTS assay를 통해 세포 증식능을 확인한 결과, 비장 세포와 T 세포에서 각각 4 mg/mL 농도로 24시간 배양한 경우 시료를 처리하지 않은 대조군에 비하여 SP I이 3.2, 3.5배로 유의적인 세포 증식 활성을 나타내었다. 생체 내 실험에서는 $7{\sim}8$주 된 Balb/c마우스를 대조군과 투여군으로 나누어 7일 동안 경구 투여를 실시하였는데, 실험 종료 후 비장 세포를 적출하여 mitogen을 이용한 세포 증식능을 확인한 결과, SP I을 경구 투석한 비장 세포가 가장 높은 세포 증식능을 보였다. 즉, 함초로부터 조추출물과 다당체를 획득하여 이들에 대한 면역 활성능을 확인한 결과, 조추출물과 다당체에서 면역 세포 활성 증강 효과를 보였는데, 조추출물보다 다당체에서 더 높은 활성을 보였다. 따라서 함초 다당체는 면역 증강 활성을 가진 바이오 헬스 소재로 개발될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

퉁퉁마디(Salicornia herbacea, glasswort)는 명아주科에 속하는 식물로 서해안과 울릉도의 염수가 닿는 바닷가에서 자라는 일년초(一年草)로서 우리말로 퉁퉁하고 마디마디 튀어나온 풀이라고 하여 퉁퉁마디라고 부른다. 퉁퉁마디는 우리나라에서 대중에게 널리 알려지거나 식용하고 있는 식물은 아니지만, 유럽에서는 어린줄기를 샐러드로 만들어 먹기도 하고 일본에서는 천연기념물로 지정되어 있다고 한다. (중략)
