Biological Activity
| Targets | Biochemical reagent |
| ln Vitro | Membranes with iota-Carrageenan (16.67–100% distributed throughout the mixture) exhibit minimal transparency and aggregation [1]. The droplet size distribution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) emulsion at pH=6 is improved in a dose-dependent manner by β-Carrageenan (0.088 wt% and 0.13 wt%) [3]. The apparent average droplet size of BSA emulsion at pH=9 is not significantly affected by ι-Carrageenan (0.0011, 0.011, and 0.22 wt%; 8 d) [3]. In a dose-dependent manner at pH=3, β-carrageenan (0-0.15 wt%) raises the average particle size of β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) emulsion [4]. Good β-Lg emulsion stability at pH=6 is demonstrated by ι-Carrageenan (0-0.16 wt%; 7 d) [4]. |
| Enzyme Assay | The rheological properties of ι-carrageenan isolated from Togekirinsai (Eucheuma serra) were measured with a rheogoniometer. The flow curves of a Ca-salt of ι-carrageenan solution showed plastic behavior and the yield value was estimated to be 0.4, 1.7 and 7.7 Pa at 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3% (w/v) concentration, respectively. The dynamic modulus of Ca-salt of ι-carrageenan increased with increase in concentration and gelation occurred at a concentration of 0.3% (w/v) at room temperature. The Ca-salt showed larger values than did of Na- and K-salts of ι-carrageenan in dynamic viscoelasticity. The Na- and K-salts of ι-carrageenan had very large values in the presence of CaCl2 (6.8 mM) in dynamic modulus which maintained a constant value as the temperature increased to 40°C. A transition temperature, at which dynamic modulus decreased rapidly, was observed at 40°C. The Ca-salt of ι-carrageenan decreased with the addition of urea (4.0 M). The gel formation of the ι-carrageenan isolated from Togekirinsai might be essentially attributed to intra- and intermolecular associations, contributed by sulfate groups of adjacent D-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose residues through Ca2 bridges with ionic bonding and attractive electrostatic forces within and between molecules[2]. |

| Additional Infomation |
Iota-carrageenan is a carrageenan. The influence of pH and iota-carrageenan concentration on the properties of beta-lactoglobulin (beta-Lg)-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions was investigated by measuring the particle charge, particle size distribution, and creaming stability. Emulsions containing droplets stabilized by beta-Lg were produced by homogenization, and then, iota-carrageenan was added. At pH 3, the droplet charge did not change for iota-carrageenan concentrations |
