This study was performed to investigate the inhibitory activity of Sargassum thunbergii (ST) against ${\alpha}$-amylase and elucidate the availability of ST extract as a functional food agent. To test the inhibitory activity of ST against ${\alpha}$-amylase, porcine pancreatic ${\alpha}$-amylase and potato starch were used as substrates. It was revealed that ST crude ethanol extracts have high ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity. Subsequently, ST crude ethanol extract was separated into five partition layers by solvent extraction: n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water. Chloroform and n-hexane fractions showed higher inhibitory activities than did acarbose (positive control). To confirm the changes in enzyme inhibitory activity by physical treatments, ST crude ethanol extract was subjected to heat, pH, and ${\gamma}$-irradiation treatments. In all heat treatments with the exception of one ($121^{\circ}C$, 15 min), the inhibitory activity was increased compared with the untreated group. With regard to pH stability, ST extract showed no significant changes at pH 4.6, but somewhat decreased inhibitory activity was revealed at pH 2, 8, and 10. On the other hand, ST ethanol extract was stable under ${\gamma}$-irradiation under all conditions (3.20 kGy). In summary, ST ethanol extract can be used in the food industry as a natural ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitor.

Iota carrageenan-containing surimi was refrigerated for 7 days to investigate the change in its properties. Physical properties, color differences, and sensory evaluation were tested for analysis after addition of 0-3 Wt% iota carrageenan. In unheated surimi, the 2% carrageenan- containing surimi had higher chromaticity and color difference compared to the surimi without added carrageenan. However, the surimi with 3% iota carrageenan showed enhanced yellowness, resulting in a modified color difference. Surimi containing iota carrageenan showed the same trend in color difference in heated surimi after storage for 7 days, particularly when carrageenan content was 2% or greater. The hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of the heated Iota carrageenan-containing surimi also increased after 7 days of storage. Compared to surimi without added carrageenan, the heated Iota carrageenan-containing surimi had higher hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and lower adhesiveness after storage. The overall preference for surimi decreased, while the hardness increased, when carrageenan was added. Therefore, the addition of the iota carrageenan to stored surimi can significantly enhance its hardness.
