In this study, the anti-oxidant and anti-elastase activities of four abalone viscera extracts were investigated to screen the most promising extract. This extract was further studied in terms of its anti-skin-aging properties. In the DPPH-scavenging assay, the Tris-HCl extract showed a 58.60±0.88% radical-scavenging activity, which was followed closely by the ethanol extract that had a 55.40±0.62% scavenging activity. In the anti-elastase assay, however, the ethanol extract showed the significantly highest elastase inhibition activity. Furthermore, none of the extracts had a harmful effect on the human dermal fibroblast, as revealed in the MTT assay. In the cell study, the effect of the ethanol extract at various concentrations on the human dermal fibroblast was investigated. At the 10 μg/mL concentration, the ethanol extract boosted the pro-collagen type I synthesis to 705.30±3.06 ng/mL and reduced the MMP-1 to 54.30±0.80 ng/mL, which was considered the optimum concentration. This is the first study that focused on the anti-oxidant and anti-skin-aging effects of abalone viscera extract. Its results may provide fundamental data for further study.

고추장굴비의 지방산패를 최소화하기 위하여 신선굴비를 동결건조한 굴비포를 사용하여 고추장굴비를 제조하고 비열처리 살균방법으로 초고압과 감마선 처리하여 저장 중에 품질과 미생물변화를 분석함으로서 고추장굴비의 저장과 유통기간 연장 가능성을 검토하였다. 초고압처리(200, 400, 600 MPa) 및 감마선 조사(7, 10, 20, 30 kGy) 후 pH 변화는 유의적으로 차이가 없었으며 20일 동안 상온에서 저장 중에도 시료간의 유의적인 변화를 보이지
