굴은 패류 양식생산량 중 가장 큰 비율(평균 76%)을 차지하는 중요한 양식생물이다. 본 연구에서는 자란만의 굴 양식장에 대 해, 수온, 염분, 해수 유동, DO, SS, Chl.a를 어장적지평가 인자로 활용한 서식지 적합 지수(Habitat Suitability Index, HSI)를 산정하여 최적 서 식지를 탐색하였다. 조사결과 만 입구가 넓고 해수 유속이 빠르게 나타난 대상해역 남동쪽에서 만 내측으로 갈수록 적합한 서식지로 나 타났고, 굴의 생산량과 본 연구의 HSI는 0.710(p<0.05)의 유의한 상관성을 보였다. 만 내의 원활한 해수 교환으로 먹이공급 등 양식생물 성 장에 도움을 주는 해수 유동은 굴 생산량과 높은 상관성(0.709, p<0.05)을 보여 Chl.a보다 서식 적합도에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타 났다. 본 연구 결과는 양식장 재배치 등 효율적인 연안어장 보전, 이용과 관리에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The Korean tariff rate for fishery products is a single tax rate of 10% for live fish and frozen seafood, and 20% for all others. Since FTAs have been concluded with several countries, the tariffs is not an appropriate means to protect domestic fishery producers. The differential tariff rate according to the scientific name (genus) of the fishery products, which was implemented 30 years ago to protect fishery products produced in the Korean coastal waters has lost its original purpose. It seems that future fishery trade policy should focus on IUU prevention, hygiene and safety of consumers rather than protecting fishery producers through customs tariffs. This paper suggest that a paradigm shift in the fishery producers protection policies such as direct financial support from the state, protection and development of fishery resources, and support for fostering the 6th industry rather than indirect protection through tariffs.

The purpose of this study was to examine the quality characteristics of cookies made with Angelica gigas Nakai fermented by Lactobacillus paracasei. As the content of Angelica gigas Nakai fermented by L. paracasei (AFL) powder increased, the pH of the cookies decreased from 6.3 to 5.2. There was no significant difference in the moisture content depending on AFL powder content. The content of reducing sugar also increased with increasing AFL powder content. Regarding the surface color of the cookies, the L- and b-values decreased with increasing AFL powder content, whereas the a-value increased. As the AFL powder content increased, the total polyphenol content and ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities significantly increased. Cookies with 8% AFL powder (AC8) had the highest levels of 107.16 mg%, 38.69%, and 65.56%, respectively. The texture, adhesiveness, and cohesiveness of the cookies with various AFL powder levels were not significantly different, and hardness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness showed no tendencies toward changes. Taken together, these results showed that when AFL powder was added to cookies, bioactivities such as antioxidant activity increased, making AFL powder a good material with high potential for use in commercially baked products.

Angelica gigas Nakai (A. gigas) easily changes its color during storage, and appropriate thermal treatment can improve storage stability through inactivation of enzymes such as polyphenol oxidase. Therefore, this study was performed to determine quality characteristics of dried A. gigas in response to high-temperature-short-time (HTST) treatment during storage. Dried A. gigas were treated at 120-180℃ for 10 min, the samples were stored at 4℃ and 50℃ for 10 weeks, and used for the analysis of qualities. Concerning the color values, the sample treated at 120℃ was similar to the control, and the color change was large when treated above 180℃. However, color difference (△E* ab) was lower in treated samples than in control. Browning index was similar for all the samples except for the sample treated at 180℃. Functional qualities (phenolics content, antioxidant activities, and level of major components) showed a slight difference according to storage periods in all samples without control, and nodakenin content was observed in control. The results of this study showed that HTST treatment improved storage stability such as stability of colors and browning index in dried A. gigas during storage, and the appropriate treatment temperature was 120℃ in terms of stability in color and browning index.

Method development and validation of decursin for the standardization of Angelica gigas Nakai as a functional ingredient and health food were accomplished. The quantitative determination method of decursin as a marker compound of aerial parts of Angelica gigas Nakai extract (AAGE) was optimized by HPLC analysis using a C18 column (3×150 mm, 3 μm) with 0.1% TFA in water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/ min and detection wavelength of 330 nm. The HPLC/PDA method was applied successfully to quantification of the marker compound in AAGE after validation of the method with linearity, accuracy, and precision. The method showed high linearity in the calibration curve at a coefficient of correlation (R2) of 0.9994 and the limit of detection and limit of quantitation were 0.011 μg/mL and 0.033 μg/mL, respectively. Relative standard deviation (RSD) values of data from intra- and inter-day precision were less than 1.10% and 1.13%, respectively. Recovery of decursin at 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 μg/mL were 92.38 ~ 104.11%. These results suggest that the developed HPLC method is very useful for the determination of marker compound in AAGE to develop a health functional material.

본 연구는 참굴(Crassostrea gigas)의 패각운동을 이용하여, 연안역에서 발생하는 저염수에 대한 조기경보가능성을 살펴보았다. 30 psu와 20 psu에서 패각운동은 각각 7.32±3.21회/hr와 7.11±3.90회/hr였으며, 파형과 횟수는 차이가 없었다(t-test, p>0.001). 하지만 10 psu와 5 psu 에서는 모든 개체가 폐각상태를 지속하였다. 수온과 염분의 복합실험결과, Group 1(수온 15 ×염분 15 psu)은 20 30 psu에서 보인 패각운 동 후(약 2 3시간), 장시간 폐각을 하였다. Group 2(수온 30 ×염분 15 psu)에서는 Group 1의 패각 개폐운동보다 더 빠르고 자주 나타나, 참 굴의 생리적인 위기상황에 대한 신호를 나타내었다. 따라서 이러한 파형은 하계 저염수 출현 시 나타낼 수 있는 조기경보 신호로 충분히 활용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Angelica gigas Nakai has been used for traditional Korean medicine which acts anti-inflammatories, protects the liver, and enhances the immune system. Subcritical water extraction (SWE) is an eco-friendly extraction method in which the pressure is applied between the boiling point and critical temperature of water that maintains the liquid state. The aim of study was to determine the optimal extraction conditions for subcritical water extraction of the decursin and nodakenin from Angelica gigas Nakai, comparing two scales, laboratory-scale (22 mL) and pilot-scale (8 L) devices to assess the feasibility of industrial applications. Extraction efficiencies were evaluated by measuring total polyphenol contents and DPPH radical scavenging activity with a spectrophotometer, extraction yields of decursin and nodakenin with a high-performance liquid chromatography. The subcritical water extraction conditions of pilot-scale were as follows: extraction temperature of 150, 170, 190 and 210°C; extraction times of 5, 10, 15, and 20 min. The highest yields of decursin and nodakenin were at 190°C/15 min (17.65 mg/g Angelica gigas) and 170°C/20 min (4.35 mg/g Angelica gigas), respectively. These were not significantly different from the maximum contents of decursin (13.49 mg/g Angelica gigas), and nodakenin (4.66 mg/g Angelica gigas) for lab-scale subcritical water extraction. The maximum values for total polyphenol content and DPPH scavenging activity of subcritical water extraction were 64.32 mg/g Angelica gigas and 74.4%, respectively. On the other hand, those of conventional extraction method using methanol (60°C/120 min) were obtained as 14.31 mg/g Angelica gigas and 41.9%. Therefore, the subcritical water extraction is a rapid and efficient method for extracting polyphenols and anti-oxidative compounds.

이상 고수온을 감지하기 위한 생물모니터링 시스템(BMS) 연구를 위해, 4단계의 수온(5, 10, 20와 30℃)에서 참굴 패각운동을 측정하였다. 모든 참굴은 실험시작 전에 3일 동안 절식을 통하여, 먹이섭이 및 배출에 따른 패각운동의 요인을 제거하였다. 5℃ 실험구에서는 패각운동이 관찰되지 않았지만, 수온의 증가와 함께 패각운동은 증가하였다(10℃ : 6.31±2.18 times/hr, 20℃ : 22.0±10.0 times/hr). 30℃에서는 5℃와 같이 패각운동이 전혀 보이지 않았던 실험구와 20℃와 유사한 패각운동이 실험구가 나타났다. 이는 30℃ 이상에서도 20℃와 같은 신진대사를 보이는 개체군이 있었으나, 대부분이 신진대사의 활력의 감소에 기인하여 폐각상태가 지속되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 참굴 양식장에 고수온 감지를 위한 참굴 패각운동 BMS를 설치한다면, 경계단계는 빠른 패각운동(약 30.0회/hr 이상)일 때, 심각단계는 수시간 이상 폐각상태일 때, 조기경보(early warning)를 내릴 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 참굴 패각운동을 활용한 BMS는 이상고수온의 조기경보에 대하여 효과적으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
