Guar gum and $\kappa$-carrageenan were investigated as a substitutes for phosphate in pork meat processing. Emulsion-type pork sausages were prepared in which 0.5% phosphate was used for the control, and either $\kappa$-carrageenan or guar gum were added at levels of 0.1 or 0.5% for comparison. The hydrocolloid compounds significantly enhanced water holding capacity and cooking loss. However, hardness, cohesiveness, and chewiness were not well-maintained when compared to the control; this was attributable to the altered water distribution as well as enhanced water holding capacity of the sausages by the addition of $\kappa$-carrageenan and guar gum. Furthermore, the phosphate-free sausages had similar storage stability as the phosphate-added sausage. Overall, the results suggest that $\kappa$-carrageenan or guar gum can be used in place of phosphate in conventional processing to successfully prepare phosphate-tree pork sausages.

Objective : The role of high frequency 120 Hz electroacupuncture(EA) in carrageenan-induced pain was studied by examining the alnalgesic effects, and prostaglandin $E_2(PGE_2)$ levels measurement and spinal N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA) receptor expression. Inflammation was induced by an intraplantar injection of 1% carrageenan into the right hind paw. Method : Bilateral EA stimulation with 120 Hz were delivered at those acupoints corresponding to Zusanli and Sanyinjiao in man via the needles for a total of 30 min duration in carrageenan-injected rats. Results : EA stimulation showed significant analgesic effects as measured by analgesy-meter at all time points tested compared with controls. Three hours after carrageenan injection, PGE2 levels were measured by commercial kit. EA significantly inhibited PGE2 production in the right paw. The number of NR1 and NR2A, NMDA receptor, immunoreactive neurons was significantly increased in the superficial dorsal horn(laminae I-II) and nucleus proprius(laminae III-IV) of ipsilateral spinal cord at L4-5. But the number of carrageenan-induced NR1 and NR2A immunoreactive neuron, especially NR1 immunoreaction in the superficial dorsal horn, was reduced by 120 Hz EA stimulation. Conclusions : These results indicate that NMDA receptors may mediate transmission of nociceptive information originating in tissue inflammation of hind paw and high frequency 120 Hz EA stimulation have an alleviating action against local inflammatory pain.

The type of mixed gel network of $\kappa$-carrageenan/agar was determined by applying rheological principles. Apparent Young's modulus of the mixed gels was mathematically analyzed with (a) simply adding the moduli of two component gels, (b) phase-separated type's upper and lower bound models, (c) interpenetrating type's logarithmic model. The experimental data fitted the estimates from the operation (a). Whereas, as for the models (b), the experimental values in the agar-rich region fitted the estimates of the upper bound model, but in the $\kappa$-carrageenan-rich region slightly deviated from those of the lower bound model. It reflected an evidence of a phase-separated type, although it was not typical, that there must be data good-fit in the agar-rich and $\kappa$-carrageenan-rich regions with the upper and lower bound models, respectively. Experimental values disagreed with estimates of the model (c). Gel time was analyzed to evince the phase-separated type. As agar concentrations increased at a fixed amount of $\kappa$-carrageenan, gel time gradually decreased and then sharply increased and decreased again. The pattern of such change in gel time also represented a typical behavior of phase-separated type's mixed gels.

Our works performed for preparation of oligosaccharides from carrageenan, seaweed polysaccharide, and one active strain for carrageenan was isolated from sea water and identified to Pseudomonas alcaligenes. Carrageenan degrading enzyme was purified from the culture fluid of isolated strain-Pseudomonas alcaligenes JCL-43, by DEAE-Cellulose, Sephadex G-100, Q-Sepharose and CM Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography. Two enzyme-F-I, F-II- was identified this purifying process, and the molecular weight of the purified carrageenase were estimated to be 23.6kDa and 30.2kDa, respectively. The optimum pH and temperature for two carrageenase activity were 7.0 and 4$0^{\circ}C$. These enzymes were stable in the pH range of 6.0~7.5 and lower than 5$0^{\circ}C$, and required 1.5% NaCl for optimum activity. And these carragennase were inhibited by metal ions such as Cu2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, but increased by Ba2+ and Ca2+, and showed specificity on -carrageenan.

염을 포함하고 있지 않은 카라기난 필름의 강도는 ${\kappa}$-카라기난 > ${\lambda}$-카라기난 > ${\iota}$-카라기난 순서로 나타났으며 ${\kappa}$-카라기난의 경우 인장강도는 22-32MPa로 기존의 플라스틱 필름인 폴리에틸렌(Polyethylene)필름의 인장강도(13-28MPa)와 견주어 볼 때 매우 높은 인장강도의 값을 갖고 있었으며 ${\iota}$-카라기난의 인장강도는 5-9MPa로 가장 낮은 인장강도를 나타내었다. 모든 카라기난 필름의 기계적 물성(인장강도와 늘어남)은 가연제의 농도에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며 특히 ${\kappa}$-카라기난과 ${\iota}$-카라기난의 늘어남(%)은 가연제의 농도변화에 의해서 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 카라기난 필름의 기계적 물성은 염의 종류와 농도에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, ${\kappa}$-카라기난 필름 중 Film-A (0.375 g plasticizer/g carrageenan)의 경우 0.1%(w/w) 칼륨염이 첨가되었을 때 인장강도가 45MPa 정도로 크게 증가되는 것으로 나타났으며 이 값은 기존의 개발된 생고분자 필름의 기계적 물성 중에서 가장 높은 값이다.

We investigated the comparative effect with different frequency and duration time of electroacupuncture(EA) for suppression of pain. Inflammation was induced by an intraplantar injection of 1 % carrageenan into the right hind paw. Bilateral EA stimulation with 2 Hz, 15 Hz and 120 Hz were delivered at those acupoints corresponding to Zusanli and Sanyinjiao in man via the needles in carrageenan-injected rats. The paw and tail thermal hyperalgesia were measured in 30-minute intervals after carrageenan injection using hot plate and tail flick analgesia meter, respectively. The significant difference was found between the control and any of EA frequencies examined. Especially 2 Hz EA presented more effective inhibitory effects compared with other frequency of EA in tail flick latency. The hyperalgesia induced by carrageenan was strongly inhibited by 2 Hz EA from 5 min post and reached sufficient effects from 20 min post EA treatment. These results suggest that EA treatment might be a useful therapy for mitigation of inflammatory pain.

This study was to evaluate effects of agar, sodium alginate and carrageenan on quality of Yugwa(Busuge) base. In the base preparation agar, sodium alginate and carrageenan were added 0.0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 3.0%(w/w), respectively. Volume, shape, hardness, color(L, a and b value), crude lipid content and sensory evaluation(taste and crispness) of the Yugwa base was measured. Volume of the base was higher than control in case of 0.1-0.5%(w/w) agar, sodium alginate and carrageenan, of which sodium alginate was the highest. Shapes were similar to control. Hardness and crude lipid content was decreased proportional to amount of addition of the three seesweed polysaccharides, the whiteness(L-value) was increased but the yellowness(a-value) and the redness(b-value) decreased. Taste and crispness were increased in the case of 0.1-1.0%(w/w) of sodium alginate, but agar and carrageenan decreased.

도복 백미와 무도복 백미로부터 쌀 단백질을 추출하고 쌀 단백질과 curdlan 또는 ${\kappa}$-carrageenan을 일정 비율(3:0, 2:1, 1.5:1.5, 1:2, 0:3)로 혼합하여 복합 필름을 제조한 후 물리적 성질을 비교하였다. 쌀 단백질/curdlan 복합 필름의 경우 인장강도는 curdlan의 혼합비율이 증가할수록 증가하였고, 신장율은 혼합비율이 1.5:1.5일 때 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 수증기투과도는 curdlan의 혼합비율이 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 보였지만 감소폭은 크지 않았다. 도복미와 무도복미 사이에 물리적 성질의 유의차는 없었다. 쌀 단백질/${\kappa}$-carrageenan 복합 필름의 경우 인장강도는 ${\kappa}$-carrageenan의 혼합비율이 증가할수록 증가하였고, 신장율은 감소하였다. 수증기투과도는 일정한 경향을 보이지 않았다. 또한 도복미와 무도복미로 제조한 쌀 단백질 복합 필름의 물리적 성질사이에 유의차는 없었다.

Preparation of antibacterial biopolymer film which is suitable for food packaging film was investigated using K-carrageenan as a base material. K-Carrageenan showed good biodegradability and film-forming characteristic but poor mechanical properties under humid condition. Also, various bacteria grew well on its surface. The poor mechanical properties could be improved by mixing with alginate at a 1:1 ratio and crosslinking with $CaCl_2$ solution. Antibacterial property coul be provided by modifying the K-carrageenan film surface with acrylic acid plasma followed by ion-exchange with $Ag^+$ ions. Such prepared film still showed good biodegradability by various fongi.

In order to examine the anti-ohyul (anti-inflammatory) activity of rhubarb, we investigated the effects of stilbene derivatives obtained from rhizomes of Rheum undulatum on the carrageenan-induced hind paw edema in rats. Administration of stilbene aglycon (rhapontigenin) at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg exhibited the anti- edema effect in dose dependent manner and stilbene glycosides $(rhaponticin,\;piceatannol-3'-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside)$ at a dose of 100 mg/kg also showed inhibitory effect on the carrageenan-induced edema. These inhibitory effects may ascribed, at least in part, to the anti-ohyul activity of rhubarb.
