Evaluation of Deodorizing Effects of Saccharina japonica in 10-Month-Old ICR Mice Using a Novel Odor Marker Associated with Aging

Figure 1

In vitro analysis and the experimental scheme for the animal study. (a) TFC, TPC, and TTC of EESJ were measured, as described in Materials and Methods. In deodorizing performance analysis, the changes in the concentration of ammonia and acetic acid gases were detected after 2 h in the bag 5 L containing the sample powders. The data are reported as the means ± SD. (b) 10-month-old ICR mice were administrated two doses of EESJ orally three times a week for two weeks. Subsequently, the changes in odor markers were analyzed in the urine, foot tissue, and dirty bedding. TFC, total flavonoid; TPC, total phenol; TTC, total condensed tannin.
