Russian deer velvet antlers were divided into three parts and subjected to a extraction process using hot water at 100, 110, and $120^{\circ}C$ or an extraction with 70% ethanol. Each extract was analyzed for its biochemical components, including uronic acid, sulfated-glycosaminoglycans (sulfated-GAGs), and sialic acid, and the antioxidant and anti-acetylcholinesterase activities were investigated. Different levels of uronic acid and sulfated-GAGs were observed in the extracts according to the water temperature used for the extraction, and contents decreased with increasing extraction temperature. The upper layer of each extract showed high amounts of uronic acid and sulfated-GAGs, followed by the middle and base layers. Ethanol extraction was more effective for recovering uronic acid than sulfated-GAGs. Sialic acid content was the highest in the $110^{\circ}C$ extracts but was not observed in the ethanol extracts. Velvet antler extracts showed strong antioxidant activities against DPPH and hydrogen peroxide as well as strong reducing power in a dose-dependent manner. However, the antioxidant activities were different in each layer and according to the extraction method. Additionally, velvet antler extracts exhibited inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease, in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that velvet antler extracts are useful as a functional food ingredient and/or a pharmaceutical.

Deer velvet antler was subjected to the extraction process using boiling water at three different temperatures (100, 110 and $120^{\circ}C$) and 70% ethanol solution. Functional components such as uronic acid, sulfated-glycosaminoglycans (sulfated-GAGs) and sialic acid in the extracts were analyzed, and their antioxidant activities were investigated using several in vitro models. Uronic acid and sulfated-GAGs content of each extract significantly decreased with increasing extraction temperature (p<0.05), while the residues obtained from the upper and middle part of the antler had a higher uronic acid content than the residues obtained from the base section. Sialic acid contents were highest in compounds extracted at $110^{\circ}C$, followed by 120 and $100^{\circ}C$. The 70% ethanol extracts also had a high levels of uronic acid content, but not for sulfated-GAGs and sialic acid. All extracts showed good antioxidant ability in a dose-dependant manner, with the $100^{\circ}C$ residue exhibiting the strongest activity compared to the 110 and $120^{\circ}C$ extracts. In relation to the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and reduction power, the 70% ethanol extract exhibited the strongest activity. Furthermore, the velvet antler extracts inhibited apoptosis in hydrogen peroxide-induced PC-12 cells.

Styela plicata are naturally-occurring marine resources easily found along the coastlines that have established their niche as functional food and nutraceuticals ingredient along with their increasing consumer demand. Ascidian contain a large amount of dietary fiber but only the meat has been utilized and consumed while the rest of its parts are discarded. Also, various studies have been conducted on the meat of ascidians while studies on the functionality of the ascidian tunics, which were mostly undervalued, were scarce. In this study, we investigated and explored the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) contents in the tunics of S. plicata, and their potential use as functional ingredient in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Sulfated GAGs and uronic acids contents were 8.9-10.7 g/100 g and 9.4-11.3 g/100 g, respectively. Highest GAGs content was extracted with optimum Brix at 7-9. Extraction efficiency using hot water at 121℃ was 4.22% while enzyme extraction using Protamex was more efficient at 5.91%. GAGs extracted from S. plicata tunics exhibited collagenase inhibitory activity of 75.2% at 100 ㎍/mL and procollagen synthesis activity of 80.1% at 100 ㎍/mL.

Sea cucumbers (Holothuria scabra), also known as beche-de-mer, are highly valued as a luxurious food item and have been utilized as a traditional tonic food in various Asian countries for centuries. The body walls of sea cucumbers are the main edible part, which are primarily composed of glycosaminoglycan (GAG). The rehydration of dried sea cucumber is a crucial step prior to further processing. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of ultrasound-assisted rehydration (UAR) on the quality of dried sea cucumbers. The experiment used four different rehydration methods, including conventional methods at 27℃ (KV27℃) and 15℃ (KV15℃), as well as a combination of ultrasound at 27℃ with conventional at 15℃ (UAR27 + KV15℃) and ultrasound at 15℃ with conventional at 15℃ (UAR15 + KV15℃). Results indicated that the rehydration rate (RR) was significantly affected by both the rehydration method and the temperature used (p < 0.05). UAR27 + KV15℃ was identified as the most effective method in terms of rehydration behavior and quality characteristics of dried sea cucumber, with a RR of 0.58 ± 0.53 gH₂O/hour and reduced rehydration time of up to 28 hours. Moreover, the UAR27 + KV15℃ method demonstrated superior rehydration potential, nutritional value (proximate composition and sulfate content), color, lower energy, and microstructure properties compared to the other methods. The sulfate content and yield of sulfated GAGs were determined to be 89.4 mg/g and 52.8 ㎍/g, respectively. Confirmation of the absorption band of the sulfate group showed the presence of 3-N-acetyl galactosamine at a wavelength of 1,269 cm^-1 and C-O-S at 860 cm^-1. The sea cucumbers treated with UAR exhibited a GAG content approximately 2.9 times higher than those rehydrated with the conventional method. Eventually, the combination of UAR at 27℃ with conventional at 15℃ methods can significantly accelerate the rehydration of sea cucumber without negatively affecting its physical quality properties.

본 연구에서는 녹용의 효율을 높이고 아울러 새로운 약리효과를 기대하기 위해 녹용을 분해하는 미생물을 탐색하였으며, 선정된 미생물 이용하여 발효시킨 녹용에 대하여 생리활성을 측정하였다. Bacillus sp., Lactobacillus sp. 및 버섯균사체중 녹용발효에 적합 균주로 B. subtilis KH-15, SCB-3과 버섯 균사체인 Cordyceps militaris, Phellinus linteus, Inonotus obliquus 26136, Inonotus obliquus 26147을 이용하여 발효녹용 제조 시 발효물의 고형분 함량은 B.subtilis KH-15와 SCB-3가 가장 높았으며, total sugar, uronic acid, S-GAG 함량은 C. militaris에 의한 발효물이 각각 1619.3 ${\mu}g$/mL, 302.0 ${\mu}g$/mL, 119.9 ${\mu}g$/mL로 가장 높은 함량을 보였으며, sialic acid 함량도 21.6 ${\mu}g$/mL로 B. subtilis KH-15의 24.8 ${\mu}g$/mL보다 다소 낮은 함량을 보였다. 면역 증강을 예측할 수 있는 항보체 활성은 B. subtilis 균주로 발효한 경우는 B. subtilis KH-15 균주의 $ITCH_{50}$값이 42.3%로 SCB-3 29.9%보다 높은 값을 보였으며, 버섯균사체를 이용한 발효 녹용 중에는 C. militaris가 50.1%로 가장 높은 항보체 활성을 보였다. 항산화력을 알 수 있는 ABTS 라디칼 소거능은 B. subtilis KH-15 발효물이 4.97 mg/mL로 가장 높은 소거능을 보였으며, DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 Inonotus obliquus 26147가 16.98 mg/mL의 $IC_{50}$값으로 가장 높은 라디칼 소거능을 보였다. 이상의 결과에 의하면 녹용추출물에 비하여 녹용 발효물은 uronic acid, S-GAG, sialic acid 등 생리활성물질을 많이 함유하였으며, 항보체 활성과 라디칼 소거능이 증진되는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 녹용자체가 지니는 조혈작용 등 생리활성 외에 항보체 활성처럼 새로운 활성이 발현될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 라디칼 소거능처럼 기존의 활성을 증진시키는 효과를 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.
