A student team (Advisory prof. Kim Hyeung-Rak, Lee Sang-Gil) of Lee Hye-Joo and Lee Joo-Won (1st year in Master's, BK21) from the Department of Smart Green Technology Engineering and Yoon Hyeon-Jeong (2nd year in Master's) of the Department of Food and Life Science of Graduate School at Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-Soo) won the participation award at the 1st Marine Bio Creative Contest.
Pukyong National University students received the Participation award from the Wando mayor for the idea of developing a soy milk 'Sea with mom' using sea mustard (undaria pinnatifida) sporophyll in this contest, which was recently hosted by Wando-gun, where they competed for start-up ideas based on sea algae.
They used sea mustard sporophyll, which is particularly rich in alginic acid, fucoidan, and fucoxanthin, and soybeans rich in isoflavones, known as natural estrogen, and the product received excellent reviews as an idea for a soymilk product for pregnant women and women on post-natal care.
The idea they proposed gained recognition as a product that can be easily consumed by reducing the molecular weight of alginic acid by applying puffing technology using heat and pressure to sea mustard sporophyll and improving the absorption rate in the body and improving the texture.
Pukyong National University students expected that this product would help create high added value using sea mustard sporophyll and develop the local economy as new postpartum food that replaces seaweed soup and helps pregnant and post-natal caring women to recover their health.
They participate in the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries' training project for future fisheries manpower and derive this idea through the application of 3D printing technology, the knowledge related to the 4th industrial revolution such as the development of personalized food and substitute meat, and employment and start-up education in the aquatic food field, and they are planning to launch a business venture.
With the participation of prep entrepreneurs and students from all over the country in this competition, 10 teams selected through the first written evaluation advanced to the finals, and the winners were selected through presentation evaluation in the final round. <Pukyong Today>
