The objective of this study was to determine the quality, characteristics, and antioxidant activities of black rice cookies prepared with different amounts of dried lave powder. Flour was substituted with dried laver powder used in different amounts as follows: 1.25, 6.25, and 8.75%. The moisture, ash, and crude protein contents of cookies were increased when using higher amounts of dried laver powder. The total polyphenol contents increased with the increasing levels of dried laver powder. The antioxidant activity measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were significantly higher than the control, and it proportionally increased as the amount of dried laver powder increased. Finally, the sensory evaluation showed that the cookies made with 6.25% dried laver powder had the highest score. Based on these results, it was suggested that dried laver may be a useful ingredient for improving the quality and antioxidant potential of cookies.

The physiological activities and amino acid compositions of dried lavers of Porphyra from the Jangheung, Seochen and Haenam coasts were determined. The ethanol extract of the Haenam dried laver exhibited the greatest 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (56.1%), ferric-reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) value(86.5 mM) and total polyphenol content (3.51 ppm) of these dried laver products. In addition, there was a strong positive correlation between the antioxidative activity and total polyphenol content of the laver products, suggesting that polyphenol compounds contribute to the antioxidant capacity in the ethanol extract of dried laver. However, there was no difference among the extracts in terms of cell proliferation activity. Fourteen combined amino acids were identified in oligopeptides from the dried laver products. Of the three extracts, that of the Haenam dried laver contained the highest levels of both free and total amino acids including alanine, glutamic acid, taurine, phosphoserine, and aspartic acid.

This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of rice crispy cereal supplemented with dried laver powder. Reducing sugar content decreased in the dried laver-supplemented group. According to the Hunter color system, the L, a, and b values of rice crispy cereal decreased with an increase in the amount of dried laver. The LP5 (rice crispy cereal added with 5% dried laver) group showed the highest phycocyanin and chlorophyll contents, which tended to increase with increased amounts of added dried laver. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents increased with the amount of dried laver, as did 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl radical-scavenging activities. Intensity test results showed that the color, flavor, and taste of rice crispy cereal improved with the addition of dried laver. The LP5 group scored the highest on overall satisfaction. These results suggest that the addition of dried laver to rice crispy cereal improves sensory properties by increasing antioxidant activities.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of various cooking methods(roasted, salad, deep-fried seasoned-roasted and commercial laver) on mineral contents, color and sensory evaluation of laver. The contents of mineral of dried laver by various cooking methods were analyzed using the Inductively Coupled Plasma(ICP) system. The results were summarized as follows : The content of crude protein, moisture, ash and crude fat in dried laver were 35.1％, 10.6％, 9.7％ and 0.8％, respectively. Among the minerals of dried laver, the content of poassium was the highest (2268.0mg/100g d.w.) and those of calcium and iron were comparatively high (495.1mg/100g, 13.5mg/100g). Ca/P ratio of dried laver was about 1:1 levels. Among various laver dishes, the total mineral content was the highest in the roasted laver, but low in the deep-fried laver. Among color values by cooking methods, "L(lightness)" and " - a(greenness)" values were the highest in the roasted laver, and "b(yellowness)" was the highest in the deep-fried laver. The seasoned-roasted laver was highly scored by the sensory evaluation.

Laver is one of the most consumed edible red algae seaweeds in the genus Porphyra. Laver is primarily prepared in the form of dried, roasted, and seasoned products. We investigated the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of laver products, and evaluated the in vitro antioxidant properties of solvent extracts from commercially processed laver products. Significant differences in the concentration of phenolic compounds were found among differently processed laver. The total phenolic content for laver extracts ranged from 10.81 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g extract to 32.14 mg GAE/g extract, depending on extraction solvent and temperature. Laver extracts contained very few flavonoids (0.55 mg catechin equivalent/g extracts to 1.75 mg catechin equivalent/g extracts). 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), hydroxyl radical, and superoxide anion scavenging assays were used to determine the radical scavenging capacities of laver extracts. These assays revealed that the processing method and extraction condition affected the antioxidant potentials of laver. Antioxidant activity of dried laver, roasted laver, and seasoned laver increased in a concentration-dependent manner ($100{\sim}1,000{\mu}g/mL$). The radical scavenging activities of $37^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$ water extracts were lower than that of a $37^{\circ}C$ 70% ethanol extract. The highest radical scavenging capacity was observed in the $37^{\circ}C$ 70% ethanol extracts of dried laver, roasted laver, and seasoned laver. Overall, these results support that notion that laver contains bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, which may have a positive effect on health.

This study was performed to identify and assess food hazards during dry laver processing. Samples including raw materials, intermediates, and finished products during dried-laver processing were collected from seven dried-laver processing facilities, and microbial analyses were conducted. Microbial levels such as total coliforms and total viable cell count (TVC) increased as the processing steps progressed. TVC and total coliforms ranged from <30 to $9.1{\times}10^7$ CFU/g and <18 to 27,600 MPN/100 g for intermediates and finished products obtained during dried-laver processing, respectively. However, no fecal coliform was detected in the samples. Additionally, food-borne bacteria including Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella sp., Staphylococcus aureus, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus were not identified in finished products. For heavy metal content, arsenic ranged from 30.18 to 39.05 mg/kg, mercury from 0.005 to 0.009 mg/kg, and cadmium from 0.076 to 0.318 mg/kg dry mass in all finished products. However, lead was not detected in samples tested in this study. In conclusion, dried-laver products were safe based on the levels of food-borne bacteria and heavy metal contents. However, it is important to reduce total viable cell counts and total coliforms during dried-laver processing.

This study is aimed to analyze economical meaning and problems on the industrial differentiation of Korean laver industry. Based on the surveyed data, the export value of korean laver has increased over 28 times for last 20 years($10 million to $300 million) and the separation of farming and processing was an important success factor of rapid growth of korean laver industry. However, the result of the survey shows that the farming profit is 534.1 won out of the total price for a bunch of dried laver, 3,566.3 won. So, farming profit counts for just 15 percent of total price. In contrast, the processing profit is 1,143.5 won and it is 32.1 percent of total price. This means that laver farmers are not being guaranteed their profit properly. This phenomenon is occurred due to lower status of first-hand processors(which produce dried laver) to second-hand processors(which produce seasoned laver) due to advanced payment given by second-hand processors. So, fist-hand processors should provide their product in the price which was designated by second-hand processors. Besides, despite of many business risks caused from climate change and environmental pollution, the market price of raw laver has steadily decreased. For sustainable prosperity of korean laver industry, imbalance on korean laver industry concerning profit sharing is need to be changed. In future, self-processing of dried laver in fishery household and enhancing the role of The Fisheries Cooperative Union in laver industry can be considered.

Angiotensin Ⅰ converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitory activities of laver(Porphyra tenera) protein hydrolysates were investigated by enzymes used for hydrolysis, molecular fractions and drying methods. For the enzymatic hydrolysis, crude laver protein, separated by filtration of water extract of dried laver extracted with 20 times(w/v) water for 3 hours at boiling temperature, were hydrolyzed with three commercial protease, Pepsin, alcalase and maxazyme NNP at optimal conditions. The yield of hydrolysis and ACE inhibitory activities of which were high in order of pepsin, alcalase and maxazyme NNP. ACE inhibitory activities of laver hydrolysates by molecular levels were high in order of 3 kDa > 10 kDa > 3∼10 kDa, and the IC/sub 50/ ACE inhibitory activities by molecular lebels were 4 mg/mL(3 kDa), 5 mg/mL(total hydrolysate), and 20 mg/mL(10 kDa), respectively. The storage stability of dried laver hydrolysates at 20℃ were strongly affected by drying methods, hot air dried of which were much stabler than freeze-dried one.

Aerobic bacteria, coliforms, Escherichia coli, and pathogenic bacteria were investigated in laver Porphyra sp. samples from various regions of Korea. The mean bacterial counts were $6.9{\pm}0.87log\;CFU/g$ (range 4.0 to 7.7) log CFU/g in dried laver, $2.83{\pm}4.36log\;CFU/g$ in roasted laver, and $4.93{\pm}1.43log\;CFU/g$ in seasoned laver. Coliforms were most abundant (mean count: $2.1{\pm}1.01log\;CFU/g$) in dried laver. No pathogenic bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, or Listeria monocytogenes, were detected in any of the samples. Aerobic microorganisms were the most diverse microorganisms in dried laver. Staphylococcus spp. were predominant, but S. aureus was not detected. Standardization of laver production is necessary to ensure a hygienic product because laver products are often ingested without heating or cooking, and the production process is simple.
