Effect of Mixture Composed of Jeju' Scoria and Ecklonia cava on Anti-inflammation

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the anti-inflammation effect of the mixture, consisting of a series of different ratio of Ecklonia cava extract and scoria. Also, to make more functional scoria powder into cosmetic material, studies on the toxicity by cell viability assay. Scoria is found in large amounts in Jeju Island, as an adsorbent of heavy metal ions (Ni 2 +, Zn 2 +, and Cr 3 +) in an aspect of its efficient utilization. Marine plants such as Ecklonia cava contain high amounts of polyphenolic antioxidants. The purpose of this study was to examine the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammation effects of combination of mixture of Eckloina cava extrat and scoria with optimal ratio. Therefore, this study suggested that combination of mixture of Eckloina cava extrat and scoria and its attenuated the oxidative and inflammatory reactions.

“…In the present study, OR and OS radiated high FIR, which was similar to previous studies where both red clay and scoria radiated high FIR at high temperatures [ 5 , 35 ]. However, these results could be limited because of the aging conditions for low temperature and dark sites.…”

“…In addition, the same emissivity and radiant energy of OR and OS could be attributed to a similar constitution ratio of metal oxides. The composition ratio of main components that compose red clay was 40% to 50% SiO 2 , 20% to 30% Al 2 O 3 , 5% to 6% FeO 3 [ 34 ], and that of scoria was 30% to 50% SiO 2 , 10% to 20% Al 2 O 3 , and 10% to 20% FeO 3 [ 5 ].…”

“…Scoria, which is widely distributed over the parasitic volcano area on Jeju Island, is an alkalescent and volcanogenous soil composed of rocks, sand, and ash that formed during the eruption of a volcano. The main ingredients of scoria are SiO 2 (30% to 50%), Al 2 O 3 (10% to 20%), and F 2 O 3 (10% to 20%), which impart its own physical properties, such as high far-infrared ray (FIR) irradiation and antibacterial activity [ 5 , 6 ]. As such, scoria has been used because of its high FIR-radiating properties [ 7 , 8 ].…”
