This study was performed to investigate some quality characteristics of 새려 prepared from soybean milk and various seaweed(Undaria pinnatifida, Laminaria japonica, Porpyra tenera, Enteromorpha sp., Codium sp.) pulps in the ration of 9:1(v:v) with 20% MgCl2. The yields of tofu containing Undaria pinnatifida, Laminaria japonica, or Enteromorpha sp. increased but porphyra tenera, Codium sp. decreased in comparison with tofu prepared from whole soybean milk. The protein content of tofu containing Undaria pinnatifida, Laminaria japonica, Porphyra tenera, or Codium sp. increased but Enteromprpha sp. decreased in comparison with the tofu prepared from whole soybean milk. The content of Ca in Undaria pinnatifida, Porphyra tenera added tofu was higher than that of the tofu prepared from whole soybean milk or other seaweeds added tofu. In sensory evaluation the texture, color, taste of tofu were favored with the addition of sea mustard(Undaria pinnatifida) pulp than that of the tofu prepared from whole soybean milk or tofu prepared other seaweed. Tofu prepared was possible with adding 0.5~1.5% sea mustard to soybean milk but the feasible added amount level was 1% of sea mustard. The yields, protein Ca, and K content of tofu were increased by the more adding amount of sea mustard tan tat of the tofu prepared from whole soybean milk. The hardness values of 1% sea mustard added tofu were decreased than that of the tofu prepared from whole soybean milk ; on the other hand, elasticity, cohensiveness, gumminess and brittleness of tofu with sea mustard increased. The L and a values of tofu were lower and b values were higher with the addition of 1% sea mustard. The content of histidine, tyrosine, leusine, and phenylalanine were decreased but the other amino acid were increased in tofu prepared from 1% sea mustard pulp added to soybean milk. The saturated fatty acid and monoene fatty acid content of tofu were increased and C18:2, C18:3(${\gamma}$), C18:3, C20:5 of polyene fatty acid were slightly decreased in tofu prepared from 1% sea mustard pulp added to soybean milk.

This study looked into changes in catches of anchovy and production of sea mustard(Undaria pinnatifida) in Southern part of East Sea in Korea from 1990 to 2007 out of the fishing industry production statistics of Korea from 1969 to 2007, and then examined the relationship between the productions and the sea temperature. The production of sea mustard(Undaria pinnatifida) decreased when the sea surface temperature was high, as it adversely affected its production, while its production increased when the sea surface temperature was low, as this facilitated its growth.

This study investigated the inhibitory effects of sea mustard on high-fat diet-induced obesity and hyperlipidemia in Sprague-Dawley rats. Sea mustard (Undaria pinnatifida) powder, sea mustard ethanol extract, and sea mustard ethanol-extracted residue were tested. The ethanol extracted residue had the most beneficial anti-hyperlipidemic activity. Alginate in the sea mustard was considered to be the key component. The ethanol-extracted residue of sea mustard also had antioxidant activity, which may be effective in preventing hyperlipidemia by increasing the enzymatic activity of superoxide dismutase, which can remove active oxygen from the bloodstream.

Sporophylls from sea mustard, Undaria pinnatifida, which are by-products in seaweed production industries, were taken from Hansan Island, Tongyeong, and Gijang, Busan, and investigated for their fucoidan content and corresponding antioxidant activities. The extracted fucoidan yield from sporophylls of sea mustard samples from Tongyeong (TF) and Gijang (GF) were 12.1% and 13.6%, respectively. The antioxidant activities assessment of TF and GF extracts showed relative significant difference between samples, suggesting effect of location on bioactivities of fucoidan samples. GF was 50-68% more effective than TF against DPPH and superoxide radicals samples which may be attributed to the difference in their degree of sulfation and monosaccharide composition. Meanwhile, TF exhibited greater scavenging activity against hydroxyl radicals compared to GF which could be due to protein impurities.

Sea mustard (Undaria pinnatifida), an important edible seaweed belonging to the brown algal family of Alariaceae, contains copious physiologically active substances. It has long been popular in Korea as a food and is frequently consumed in the form of soup. It is also commercially available as a home meal replacement. In this study, we developed a seasoning key base with a high degree of sensory preference from sea mustard using the extrusion cooking process. Extrusion cooking conditions were optimized through response surface methodology. Barrel temperature (X₁, 140℃-160℃) and screw speed (X₂, 158-315 rpm) were set as independent variables, and overall preference was determined as the dependent variable (Y, points). An optimal condition was obtained at X₁ = 148.5℃ and X₂ = 315 rpm, and the dependent variable (Y, overall acceptance) was 7.95 points, similar to the experimental value of 7.81. Umami taste had a relationship with the overall acceptance of sea mustard seasoning. In the electronic nose and tongue, increased sourness and umami intensities were associated with the highest sensory score. The samples were separated well by each characteristic via principal component analysis. Collectively, our study provides imperative preliminary data for the development of various seasonings using sea mustard.

We investigated the nutritional characteristics and antioxidant effects of sea mustard Undaria pinnatifida fractions from Gultongmeori in Taejongdae, Youngdo, Busan. Based on dry weight, the moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, crude ash, and crude fiber contents were 34.98%, 11.55%, 0.43%, 17.82%, and 3.45%, respectively. To evaluate the antioxidant effect, we used radical scavenging (DPPH and ABTS), reactive oxygen species (ROS) production measurement, and DNA oxidation assays. Total flavonoid and phenol contents were higher in the n-hexane fraction than in other fractions. The n-hexane fraction was more effective at scavenging free radicals than other fractions as assessed using DPPH and ABTS assays (P<0.05). The ROS production assay showed that all sea mustard fractions decreased H₂O₂ induced cellular ROS production compared to that seen in the control (P<0.05); however, the n-hexane fraction reduced cellular ROS production to a greater extent than the other fractions. Furthermore, the n-hexane fraction from Gultongmeori significantly inhibited genomic DNA oxidation. These results indicate that the antioxidant effect of sea mustard is associated with its high flavonoid and phenol content. This study proposes that processed food products supplemented with sea mustard can be developed as functional foods to promote health in the local population.

Salted sea mustard (Undaria pinnatifida) was irradiated (0, 2,4 kGy) and stored for 6 months at $10{\pm}1^{\circ}C\;and\;30{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, respectively. Quality deterioration of stored salted sea mustard was observed to closely relate with the growth of halophilic bacteria and yeast. Gamma irradiation with 2 to 4 kGy doses reduced initial microbial loads of salted sea mustard by 1 to 2 log orders, but had little influence on the propagation during storage. Organoleptic characteristics of the sample showed no signifiant difference between nonirradiated control and irradiated samples during storage. Thus, gamma irradiation was little effective for improving the microbiological and organoleptic qualities of salted sea mustard associated with its storage stability.

The effect of gamma irradiation on physico-chemical properties of salted sea mustard (Undaria pinnatifida) was investigated. Chlorophyll and carotenoid pigment of salted sea mustard were partially decreased by irradiation. However there was no significant difference in the retention rate of pigment between control and 2 kGy-irradiated samples after six months of storage at around $10^{\circ}C$, ranging values of 74 to 77% in chlorophyll and 54 to 56% in carotenoid. Total organic acids and volatile acids associated with the organoleptic quality of sea mustard increased in the samples of lower salt concentrations and of higher storage temperatures. The softening of sample tissue by irradiation was shown to be correlated with the extraction properties of alginic acid.

In order to examine the presence of brassinosteroid substance in sea mustard(Undaria pinnatifida), leaves of sea mustard were extracted with MeOH. The extract was purified by slovent fractionation, counter current distribution, silica gel adsorption chromatography, charcoal adsorption chromatography, Bondesil chromatography, and reverse phase HPLC, successively. The activity was monitored by the rice inclination test and its prescence could be confirmed in each purification step. Although sea mustard contained a less amount of the active substance than the vegetative tissue of higher plants, brassinosteroid was clearly present endogenously in sea mustard. We acknowledge that our work is probably the first publication reporting the presence of brassinosteroid in marine algae plants.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of various concentrations of sea mustard powder on the quality characteristics of Bacsulgi. The sea mustard powder was added to rice powder at ratios of 3, 5, 7, and 9%(w/w). The moisture contents and salinity of Bacsulgi were increased with the addition of sea mustard powder. The incorporation of sea mustard powder in Bacsulgi lowered the lightness values but increased the blueness and yellowness values. Rheology test showed that hardness was significantly (p<0.05) decreased with increasing sea mustard powder content. The springiness and cohesiveness were decreased, whereas the adhesiveness was increased, with increasing sea mustard powder content. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the size of the air cells increased and the surface of rice powder swelled with increasing sea mustard powder content. The result of sensory evaluation showed that there were significant (p<0.05) differences in the scores of smell and taste sensory characteristics among the samples. The overall eating quality was the highest in the control and decreased with increasing sea mustard powder level. The study results suggested that Bacsulgi prepared with up to 5% addition of sea mustard powder was as acceptable as Bacsulgi prepared without sea mustard powder.
