An n-string tangle is a three dimensional ball with n strings properly embedded in it. A tangle model of a DNA-protein complex is first introduced by C. Ernst and D. Sumners in 1980's. They assumed the protein bound DNA as strings and the protein as a three dimensional ball. By using a tangle analysis, one can predict the topology of DNA within the complex. S.Kim and I. Darcy developed the biologically reasonable 4-string tangle equations and decided a solution tangle, called R-standard tangle. The author discussed more about the simple solution tangles of the equations and found a generalized R-standard tangle solution.

본 연구는 in vitro에서 여러 식이섬유의 Na흡착효과를 측정하였고 다시마내의 alginate의 Na 흡착능을 측정하고 다시마 첨가김치의 소금(Na) 흡착기능으로 저염 기능성 김치를 개발하려고 하였다. 여러 식이섬유의 표품으로 Na흡착효과를 시험한 결과, alginate와 sodium alginate, 그리고 다시마에서 추출한 alginate가 가장 큰 효과가 있었다. Sodium alginate는 산에서도 용해된 상태로써 위장에서부터 Na를 흡착하여 (29.9%) 소장까지 내려가지만(33.8%) alginate와 다시마에서 추출한 alginate는 소장의 알칼리 상태에서 32.3%와 27.4%의 Na 흡착능을 보였다. 다시마내의 alginate함량은 건다시마의 경우 건조물당 22.2%, 염장다시마는 21.9%, 30분 침지 후3회 세척한 염장다시마는 19.8%였다 관능검사를 통하여 염장 다시마를 세척한 다시마를 0.5$\times$3 cm 형태로 절단하여 김치레시피의 30%첨 가한 김치를 제조하였다. 다시마김치의 이화학적 특성, 젖산균의 변화 그리고 관능검사를 통해 그 특성을 살펴 본 결과 대조김치에 비해 환원당 함량과 젖산균이 많았으며 발효속도는 다소 빨랐고 특히 다시마첨가 김치는 대조김치와 다시마젓갈첨가 김치보다 탄산미가 많고 군덕내가 적은 것이 특징이었다. 다시마첨가김치는 대조김치에 비해 수용성 식이섬유의 양이 건조물당 6.2%에서 9.2%로 증가되었다.

The supplementation effects of sea tangle powders were determined for the meat quality in Korean native black goats. A total 90 castrated male black goats at 3-month age were divided into 3 dietary treatment groups: control (basal diet + mineral block), T1 (0.3% sea tangle feeding with the basal diet), T2 (0.9% sea tangle feeding with the basal diet). At 9-months feeding, 10 goats per treatment group were slaughtered, and the longissimus dorsi muscle samples were vacuum-packed, and subsequently analyzed for physicochemical evaluations. Analysis revealed decrease in the shear force and TBARS values of meat in the sea tangle dietary groups (p < 0.05). The T2 group exhibited increased levels of unsaturated fatty acids such as C16:1, C18:1, C18:2, and C20:4 (p < 0.05). The content of free amino acids with desirable taste such as aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, and serine were higher in T2, whereas alanine content was higher in both sea tangle dietary groups, as compared to control (p < 0.05). These data indicate that feeding dietary sea tangle as an alternative mineral source results in an improvement in the physicochemical profiles of goat meat.

Thai Jasmine rice (Oryza sativa, long grain Indica var.) is popular in southeastern Asia and China due to its non-glutinous, fluffy texture and fragrant smell. However it has a high starch digestibility, which leads to an increased glycemic index (GI). Therefore it may require modified cooking methods for diabetes patients. The objectives of this study were to optimize the ratio of Thai Jasmine rice, sea tangle, and olive oil (CLTR) based on consumers' acceptance. The GI of plain cooked Thai Jasmine rice (CLR) was measured as a control. Sensory evaluation and response surface methodology were used to determine the optimal ratio. Texture analysis and nutritional evaluation were also performed on the optimal recipe of cooked Jasmine rice with sea tangle. A multiple regression equation was developed in quadratic canonical polynomial models. We used 26 trained Chinese panelists in their forties to rate color, flavor, adhesiveness, and glossiness, which we determined were highly correlated with overall acceptability. The optimal CLTR formula was 34.8% rice, 2.8% sea tangle, 61.9% water, and 0.5% olive oil. Compared to CLR, CLTR had a lower hardness, but a higher springiness and cohesiveness. However, CLR and CLTR had the same adhesiveness and chewiness. The addition of sea tangle and olive oil delayed retro-gradation of starch in CLTR and increased total dietary fiber, and protein and ash contents. The degree of gelatinization, and in vitro protein and starch digestibility of CLTR were lower than those of CLR. Based on Wolver' method, the GI of CLTR (52.9, incremental area under the glycemic-response curve, ignoring the area below fasting, as used for calculating the GI [Inc]) was lower compared with that of CLR (70.94, Inc), which indicates that CLTR is effective in decreasing and stabilizing blood glucose level, owing to its lower degree of gelatinization and starch digestibility. Our results show that CLTR can contribute to the development of a healthier meal for families and the fast food industry.

백미밥에 비하여 기능성과 기호성이 향상된 다시마밥의 최적조건을 구하기 위하여, 관능검사를 실시하였고, 그 결과를 반응표면 분석하여 다시마편 첨가비율, 가수량과 침지시간 등의 최적 수준을 정하고, 최적수준으로 제조한 다시마밥과 백미밥의 물성검사와 영양적 품질평가를 비교하였다. 40대 이상을 대상으로 한 결과로부터 얻어진 2차 회귀 방정식에서 맛, 찰기, 색상, 전반적기호도의 관능적 특성에서 유의성이 인정되었고(p<0.03), 예측되는 최적조건은 다시마편 첨가비율 14%, 가수량 1.67배, 침지시간 47분이었다. 이 최적조건으로 지은 다시마밥의 경도는 압력솥으로 지었음에도 불구하고 경도는 상압에서 지은 백미밥과 비슷하였다. 부착성은 상온에서 지은 백미밥보다는 낮았고 압력솥에서 지은 백미밥과는 큰 차이 없었다. 씹힘성은 상온에서 지은 백미밥에 비해 2배 높았으나 압력솥에서 지은 백미밥보다는 약간 낮았다. 밥을 지은 뒤 30분 경과 후의 물성의 변화는 백미밥보다 다시마밥의 변화가 더 적었다. 다시마밥의 식이섬유소 함량은 5.4%이었고, 백미밥에 비해 식이성 섬유소, 회분, 단백질의 보강효과는 현저하였다. 다시마밥의 단백질 소화율(in vitro), 단백질 효율비 (C-PER)과 전분호화도는 백미밥에 비해 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 다시마밥은 열량섭취량이 높고, 섬유소 섭취량이 낮은 현대인의 식생활에 이을 보완해주는 저열량 고섬유소의 기능적 식품으로 권장할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the change of major nutrient components in boiled broth of anchovy, fish paste, sea tangle, and radish subjected to the boiling processing. The crude protein, fat, ash, and carbohydrates in anchovy boiled broth were 0.1%, 0.04%, 0.1%, and 0% respectively as against 0.04%, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.4% in fish paste boiled broth. The protein content in the anchovy boiled broth, the fat and carbohydrate in the fish paste boiled broth, and the ash in the sea tangle boiled broth were high. Major components of the minerals were sodium plus potassium and the boiled broth in anchovy and fish paste had the contents of 19.41 plus 16.19 and 76.77 plus 10.41 mg, respectively. Especially, the potassium in boiled broth of the sea tangle was shown the highest content of 85.94 mg. The Vitamin B1 content in all broth samples were below 0.01 mg per 100 g edible portion. In the case of the B2 content, the anchovy boiled broth had 0.03 mg per 100 g edible portion. On the other hand, the niacin content of the boiled broth on a wet weight basis was detected at an average 0.1 mg. Vit. A, C, tocopherol, and cholesterol was not detected in the boiled broth of any of the subjects. As a result of applying the data of boiled broth in the fish paste soup instead of anchovy and sea tangle which are non-edible, the calcium, dietary fiber, and vitamin A were shown to have a difference of less than 50%.

An n-string tangle is a three dimensional ball with n-strings which are properly embedded in the ball. In early 90's, C. Ernst and D. Sumners first used a tangle to describe a DNA-protein complex. In this model, DNA is represented by a string and protein is represented by a ball. Mu is a protein which binds to DNA at three sites and a DNA-Mu complex is called Mu-transpososome. Knowing the DNA topology within Mu-transpososome is very important to understand DNA transposition by Mu protein. In 2002, Pathania et al. determined that the DNA configuration within the Mu transpososome is three branched and five noded [12]. In 2007, Darcy et al. analyzed this by using mathematical tangle and concluded that the three branched and five noded DNA configuration is the only biologically reasonable solution [4]. In this paper, based on the result of Pathania et al. and Darcy et al., the author determines the DNA topology within the DNA-Mu complex after the whole Mu transposition process. Furthermore, a new experiment is designed which can support the Pathania et al.'s result. The result of this new experiment is predicted through mathematical knot thory.

The effects of sea tangle, sea mustard, hijiki, and glasswort were investigated based on the proximate composition, salinity, cooking loss, emulsion stability, pH, color, texture profile analysis, apparent viscosity, and sensory characteristics of reduced-salt (NaCl) meat batter and frankfurters. The moisture content, salinity, lightness of the meat batter and frankfurter, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of the reduced-salt frankfurters with sea weeds were lower than the control without seaweed (p<0.05). The protein content, springiness, and cohesiveness of the reduced-salt frankfurters were not significantly different among the treatments (p>0.05). The moisture content, salinity, cooking loss, lightness, redness, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of treatments with sea tangle and with sea mustard were lower than the control (p<0.05). Among the sensory traits, color was highest in the control (p<0.05). The flavor was also highest in the control. The treatments with sea tangle and with sea mustard samples had high tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptability scores similar to the control (p<0.05). The results of this study show that the combination of low-salt and seaweed in the formulation successfully improved reduced-salt frankfurters, improving sensory characteristics to levels similar to the regular salt control (1.5%).

This study was conducted to investigate changes in the quality of Gochujang following the addition of sea tangle Saccharina japonica powder fermented by lactic acid bacteria (FSP). Gochujang was prepared with or without FSP and fermented at $16^{\circ}C$ for 24 weeks, as detailed in a previous study. No significant physicochemical changes in moisture, crude protein content, pH, salinity and amino nitrogen content were observed among the varieties of Gochujangs evaluated (Commercial Gochujang, Gallic-Gochujang and FSP-Gochujang). In addition, we detected no significant differences in microbiological profiles. However, following addition of FSP to Gochujang, the color was affected and antioxidant properties were enhanced. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of FSP-Gochujang increased by 58.8% and 24.8% compared with Commercial Gochujang and Gallic-Gochujang, respectively. Furthermore, analysis of the free amino acid content revealed higher levels of ${\gamma}$-Aminobutyric acid (100.9 mg/100 g), a biofunctional ingredient, in FSP-Gochujang. Thus, these results suggest the potential for development of a traditional Korean fermented food with enhanced antioxidant activity and ${\gamma}$-Aminobutyric acid content using FSP.
