Representative research cases

Volatile organic substance (VOCs) and inorganic component analysis depending on sea cucumber desiccation method

• Analyzed volatile organic components (VOCS) and inorganic components of sea cucumbers in the shares of Jeju Island by two types of desiccation methods, freezing desiccation and vacuuming desiccation, using GC-MS/MS and ICP-MS

Studies on the biomass and lipid accumulation in response to the addition of inositol, a growth factor for marine microalgae Dunaliella Salinas

• Verified the increased amount of biomass and lipid accumulation from the cultivations after adding Inositol, biodiesel's promising material Dunaliella Salina growth factor, and measured changes the biodiesel properties by accumulated lipid's Fatty acid methyl ester using GC-FID in the analysis
