Pylaiella littoralis was collected in the Chuuk lagoon of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). The FSM has a variety of coral reef ecosystems, which provide essential materials, such as minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids, for marine organisms. In this study, the antioxidant activities of ethanol and enzymatic extracts of P. littoralis were evaluated by measuring their scavenging activities on DPPH free radical, Alkyl radical, hydroxyl radical and cell viability. The enzymatic extracts were hydrolyzed to prepare water soluble extracts by using five carbohydrate degrading enzymes (AMG, Celluclast, Termamyl, Ultraflo, and Viscozyme) and five proteases (Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Kojizyme, Neutrase, and Protamex). As a result, the enzymatic extracts prepared by Flavourzyme, Ultraflo, and Kojizyme exhibited the greatest effects in DPPH free radical, alkyl radical scavenging activity and cell viability. Also, these enzymatic extracts had a higher antioxidant effect then commercial antioxidants in DPPH free radical and Alkyl radical scavenging activity. This study suggests that P. littoralis might be a useful source of natural antioxidants for the development of dietary supplements.

The aqueous extract of Coscinium fenestratum was studied for its antioxidant status in STZ-nicotinamide induced type 2 diabetic rats at two dose levels of 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg. At the end of the experimental period, diabetic rats treated with aqueous extract at both dose levels showed a significant increase in the levels of enzymatic antioxidants such as glutathione peroxidase, glutathione synthetase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase as compared to the untreated control. Similarly, a significant increase was also observed in the levels of the non enzymatic antioxidants ceruloplasmin, ascorbic acid and tocopherol. The results suggest that the aqueous stem extract of C. fenestratum prevents type 2 diabetes mellitus induced oxidative stress.

본 연구에서는 기능성이 높은 참죽을 효소를 이용하여 추출하고 각 효소에 따른 추출물의 기능성 성분의 함량 및 산화방지 활성을 측정하였다. Viscozyme 추출물이 가장 높은 수율을 보였으며, AMG 효소 추출물을 제외한 효소 처리군이 효소 비처리군에 비해 유의적으로 높은 polyphenol 및 flavonoid 함량을 나타내었다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 Viscozyme 추출물이 가장 높았으며, 그 다음 AMG, Shearzyme, Celluclast 추출물의 순으로 높았다. ABTS 라디칼 소거능은 추출물을 희석했음에도 불구하고 모든 처리군에서 90% 이상의 높은 활성을 보였다. $Fe^{2+}$ 킬레이트 효과는 Viscozyme 추출물이 가장 높은 활성을 보였으며, 그 다음 Shearzyme, Celluclast, 비효소, AMG 추출물 순으로 나타났다. 환원력은 Shearzyme과 Viscozyme 추출물이 가장 높았으며, 그 다음으로 비효소, AMG, Celluclast 추출물 순으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 효소를 이용하여 참죽을 추출할 경우 효소를 처리하지 않는 경우에 비해 높은 산화방지 활성을 나타내었으며, 특히, Viscozyme 처리 시 가장 높은 수율과 산화방지 활성을 나타내어 참죽의 기능성 식품 소재화를 위해 기능성 성분 추출 시 효소의 이용을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study prepared functional oyster hydrolysates using two-step enzymatic hydrolysis and investigated their functional properties. To prepare two-step enzymatic hydrolysates (TSEH), oysters were hydrolyzed using 1% Protamex (PR) at $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0 for 1 hr before sequential treatment with one of the following enzymes for 1 hr: Alcalase (AL), Flavourzyme (FL), Neutrase (NE), pepsin (PE), and trypsin (TR). The PRAL, PRNE and PRTR hydrolysates had significantly greater angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity than did PR and the other TSEHs. Only the antioxidant activity of the PRNE hydrolysate was significantly different (p<0.05), while none of the TSEHs had antimicrobial activity. The oyster hydrolysate prepared by sequential treatment with Protamex and Neutrase (PRNE) had the best ACE inhibitory activity and antioxidant activity, with $IC_{50}$ values of 0.40 and 0.94 mg/mL, respectively. The PRNE hydrolysate was processed through an ultrafiltration (UF) series with molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) membranes of 3, 5, 10, and 30 kDa, and the ACE inhibitory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities of the permeates were determined. The permeate through the 3-kDa MWCO membrane had greater ACE inhibitory activity and antioxidant activity than did the other PRNE permeates, with $IC_{50}$ values of 0.11 and 0.40 mg/mL, respectively.

We investigated the antioxidant and angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of red snow crab Chionoecetes japonicas shell (RSCS) hydrolysate by enzymatic hydrolysis and its molecular weight cut-off fractions. The RSCS hydrolysate was fractionated through two ultrafiltration membranes of 3 and 10 kDa cut-offs. Three fractions (<3 kDa, 3-10 kDa, and >10 kDa) were evaluated for total amino acid composition, antioxidant activities using 2'-azino-bis[3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid] ($ABTS^+$) radical scavenging and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities and reducing power assays, and ACE inhibitory activity using Hou's method. Although all fractions showed activity, the <3 kDa fraction of RSCS hydrolysate exhibited the greatest $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging, SOD-like and ACE inhibitory activities. However, these fractions exhibited low reducing power. These results suggest that the low-molecular-weight enzymatic hydrolysate of RSCS could be used as a functional ingredient to control oxidative stress and ACE activity.

An active ingredient with hyaluronidase (HAse) inhibitory effect is one of the anti-aging approaches in cosmeceuticals. Here, red sea cucumbers (RSCs), Stichopus japonicus, from Jeju Island were evaluated to examine their HAse inhibitory and antioxidant activity effect. In this study, RSCs were extracted by six enzymatic hydrolysis (Alcalase; Al, Trypsin; Try, Neutrase; Neu, Pepsin; Pep, Alpha-chymotrypsin; Chy and Protamex; Pro). Alcalase hydrolysate (AlH) showed the highest antioxidant capacities for both of oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) methods, compared to those of other hydrolysates, at $66.59{\pm}0.78{\mu}M\;TE/mg$ and $135.78{\pm}3.24{\mu}M\;TE/mg$, respectively. Furthermore, AlH performed the highest capacity of HAse inhibitory with $IC_{50}$ value of 3.21 mg/ml. Thus, RSCs hydrolyzed by Al were chosen to determine the cellular antioxidant activity and hyaluronic acid (HA) production effect on Human immortalized keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT). The results showed that AlH improved the cell viabilities and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by 2,2'-Azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) were significantly decreased. In addition, AlH increased HA amount by regulating HYAL2 and HAS2 expressions in the HaCaT cells. Taken together, AlH of RSCs collected from Jeju Island showed HAse inhibitory and antioxidant activities against skin-aging which shows its potentials can be an optional natural bioactive ingredient for novel cosmeceuticals.

제주지역에 서식하고 있는 블루베리 (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)로부터 수용성 추출물을 효과적으로 제조하기 위하여 5가지 종류의 탄수화물 분해효소 (AMG, Celluclast, Termamyl, Ultraflo, Viscozyme)와 또 다른 5종의 단백질 분해효소 (Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Kojizyme, Neutrase, Protamex)를 이용하여 효소적 추출을 시도하였다. 이들 효소를 이용하여 제조된 여러 가지 블루베리 효소 추출물에 대하여 1,1-diphenyl 2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 활성산소종 (ROS), 일산화질소 $(NO{\cdot})$ 등의 소거 활성, 금속 킬레이트결합능, 그리고 지질 과산화 저해능과 같은 항산화 효과를 검토하였다. 모든 효소 추출물의 페놀함량은 $517.85\~597.96\;mg/100 g$ 건조시료이었으며, 항산화 효과에 대한 평가에서 특히 DPPH 및 $NO{\cdot}$ 소거활성, 그리고 금속 킬레이트 결합능 등이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. Viscozyme 추출물은 DPPH 소거활성 $(0.046{\pm}0.002\;mg/mL)$이, 그리고 AMG 추출물은 $NO{\cdot}$ 소거활성$(0.339{\pm}0.011\;mg/mL)$ 및 지질 과산화 억제활성 $(0.28{\pm}0.01\;mg/mL)$이 각각 우수하였다. 과산화 수소 소거활성에 있어서는 블루베리 효소 추출물들이 천연 항산화제인 a-토코페롤보다 상대적으로 높았다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 블루베리는 항산화 효과가 우수한 화합물들을 함유하고 있을 것으로 판단되며, 향후 천연 항산화 자원으로서 이용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The antioxidant activities of water ($H_2O$) and ethanol (EtOH) extracts from hamcho (Salicornia herbacea L.) juice and cake prepared by enzymatic treatments were evaluated by in vitro assays against DPPH, superoxide, and hydroxyl radicals. Among the $H_2O$ and EtOH extracts from five different carbohydrases treated, the EtOH extract from viscozyme-treated hamcho cake had higher yield and phenolic content, and exhibited the strongest radical scavenging activity against DPPH ($IC_{50}=186.91\;{\mu}g/mL$), superoxide ($IC_{50}=87.54\;{\mu}g/mL$), and hydroxyl radicals ($IC_{50}=367.07\;{\mu}g/mL$). Antioxidant assay-guided fractionation and purification of the EtOH extract led to isolation and identification of five phenolic compounds, procatechuic, ferulic and caffeic acids, quercetin, and isorhamnetin. Most of these phenolic compounds exhibited considerable DPPH, superoxide, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, and in particular, caffeic and ferulic acids had stronger superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities than the well-known antioxidant radical scavenger, (+)-catechin (p<0.05). Quercetin and isorhamnetin were the primary compounds responsible for the strong antioxidant activity in the EtOH extract of the viscozyme-treated hamcho cake. Meanwhile, these five phenolic compounds were detected in the EtOH extract of the viscozyme-treated hamcho cake at the following levels (dry base of hamcho); procatechuic acid (1.54 mg%), caffeic acid (6.87 mg%), ferulic acid (8.45 mg%), quercetin (12.63 mg%), and isorhamnetin (6.65 mg%). However, three of these phenolic compounds (procatechuic, caffeic acid, and ferulic acids) were detectable in the $H_2O$ extract of viscozyme-treated hamcho juice. These results suggest that the EtOH extract of viscozyme-treated hamcho cake may be a potential source of natural antioxidants.

The objective of the current study was to evaluate the inhibitory and antioxidant activities of powdered katsuobushi (dried bonito) protein hydrolysates and their corresponding fractions. The powdered katsuobushi (dried bonito) hydrolysates were obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis using Alcalase, ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin, Neutrase, pepsin, papain, and trypsin. The antioxidant efficacy of the respective hydrolysates were evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl, superoxide, and alkyl radical-scavenging activities. Among the hydrolysates, the peptic-derived hydrolysate exhibited the highest antioxidant activity compared to other enzymatic hydrolysates. Therefore, the peptic-derived hydrolysate was further analyzed, and was found to contain an active peptide with an amino acid sequence identified as Pro-Met-Pro-Leu-Asn-Ser-Cys (756 Da). The purified peptides from powdered katsuobushi (dried bonito) had an $EC_{50}$ value of $105.82{\mu}M$, and exhibited an inhibitory effect against DNA oxidation induced by hydroxyl radicals. Taken together, these results suggests that powdered katsuobushi (dried bonito) could be used as a natural antioxidant in functional foods and prevent oxidation reactions in food processing.
