본 연구는 제주도의 녹조현상의 원인인 구멍갈파래의 활용을 위해 고압추출 공정을 통한 추출물의 면역활성 확인 하였다. 150 MPa, $80^{circ}C$ 조건에서 Superoxide Radical 소거효과에서는 90% 로 활성도가 제일 높았으며, 면역세포 생육도면에서도 B&T cell, 각 각 $14.2{ imes}10^4$ cells/mL $14.5{ imes}10^4$ cells/mL 나타나 제일 높았다. 반면, NK cell과 NO 면역능 실험에서는 100MPa, $30^{circ}C$ 조건에서 각각 $11.8{ imes}10^2$ cells/mL, 30.0 ${mu}M$을 보여 주었다. 결과를 통해 구멍갈파래는 면역활성을 가지며 고압 공정을 통한 추출물의 활성이 일반추출에 비해 높은 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 해조류 및 다른 유용 자원에서도 고압 공정이 기존의 추출방법보다 높은 활성을 나타낼 것으로 판단되며 기능성 식품이나 기능성 소재로서 사용가능성이 있는 것으로 사료된다.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the immunomodulatory effect of Ulva pertusa kjellman extract after undergoing a low temperature and high-pressure extraction process. First, the extracts obtained under the extraction conditions of 150 MPa and $80^{circ}C$showed a relatively high antioxidant activity, with 90% super oxide radical activity compared to the extracts from conventional extraction process with water at $100^{circ}C$. This extract also improved the growth of both human immune B and T cells up to $14.5{ imes}10^4$ cells/mL and $14.2{ imes}10^4$ cells/mL compared to $9.1{ imes}10^4$ cells/mL in adding the extracts from conventional processes. It was found that the extracts obtained at 100 MPa and $60^{circ}C$ showed better activities in NK cell growth and NO production from macrophage as $11.8{ imes}10^2$ cells/mL and 30.0 ${mu}M$. Overall, the extracts from high pressure and low temperature extraction process had relatively higher immune activation activity, possibly because the low temperature and high pressure extraction process may have higher yields of active compounds and have less damage to useful ingredients from relatively weak marine natural resources, such as Ulva pertusa kjellmann than that from the conventional extraction system.
