Ecklonia Cava
''Ecklonia cava'' (or paddle weed, , ''noro-kajime''), is an edible marine brown alga species found in the ocean off Japan and Korea. It is used as an herbal remedy in the form of an extract called ''Seanol'', a polyphenolic extract, and ''Ventol'', a phlorotannin-rich natural agent. Phlorotannins, such as fucodiphlorethol G, 7-phloro eckol, 6,6'-bieckol, eckol, 8,8'-bieckol, 8,4"'-dieckol and phlorofucofuroeckol A can be isolated from ''Ecklonia cava''. Other components are common sterol derivatives ( fucosterol, ergosterol and cholesterol). It is also identified as a viable colloid source for use in the biotech industry. Nomenclature ''Ecklonia cava'' answers to the English common name "paddle weed"; it is also referred by the common names "''kajime''" or "''noro-kajime''" of Japanese origin. In fact, the standard common name for ''E. cava'' in modern-day Japanese is , to be distinguished from the wrinkled-leaved ''Eisenia bicyclis'' ( ''Ecklonia bicyclis'') known ...

Ecklonia Kurome
''Ecklonia kurome'' ( ja, 黑布 (kurome), zh, 鹅掌菜) is a brown alga species in the genus ''Ecklonia'' found in the Sea of Japan. The phlorotannins eckol, phlorofucofuroeckol A and 8,8'-bieckol can be found in ''Ecklonia kurome''. An oligosaccharide extract from ''Ecklonia kurome'' called is approved in China for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, but the evidence is highly dubious.

Eisenia Bicyclis
, sea oak is a species of kelp, of the brown algae, best known for its use in Japanese cuisine. Description ''Eisenia bicyclis'' is indigenous to temperate Pacific Ocean waters centered near Japan, although it is deliberately cultured elsewhere, including South Korea. Arame , Food to Good Health, 2010 retrieved 8 February 2013 It grows and reproduces seasonally. Two flattened oval fronds rise from a stiff woody stipe which can be up to about tall. The fronds are shed and new ones formed annually. The plant appears both branched and feathered. It may be harvested by divers manually or mechanically, and the dried form is available year-round.

Plant Collector
Plant collecting is the acquisition of plant specimens for the purposes of research, cultivation, or as a hobby. Plant specimens may be kept alive, but are more commonly dried and pressed to preserve the quality of the specimen. Plant collecting is an ancient practice with records of a Chinese botanist collecting roses over 5000 years ago. Herbaria are collections of preserved plants samples and their associated data for scientific purposes. The largest herbarium in the world exist at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, in Paris, France. Plant samples in herbaria typically include a reference sheet with information about the plant and details of collection. This detailed and organized system of filing provides horticulturist and other researchers alike with a way to find information about a certain plant, and a way to add new information to an existing plant sample file. The collection of live plant specimens from the wild, sometimes referred to as plant hunting, is an act ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Botanist
Botany, also called , plant biology or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology. A botanist, plant scientist or phytologist is a scientist who specialises in this field. The term "botany" comes from the Ancient Greek word (''botanē'') meaning "pasture", " herbs" "grass", or " fodder"; is in turn derived from (), "to feed" or "to graze". Traditionally, botany has also included the study of fungi and algae by mycologists and phycologists respectively, with the study of these three groups of organisms remaining within the sphere of interest of the International Botanical Congress. Nowadays, botanists (in the strict sense) study approximately 410,000 species of land plants of which some 391,000 species are vascular plants (including approximately 369,000 species of flowering plants), and approximately 20,000 are bryophytes. Botany originated in prehistory as herbalism with the efforts of early humans to identify – and later cultivate – edible, med ...

Pharmacist
A pharmacist, also known as a chemist (Commonwealth English) or a druggist (North American and, archaically, Commonwealth English), is a healthcare professional who prepares, controls and distributes medicines and provides advice and instructions on the correct and safe use of medicines to achieve maximum benefit, minimal side effects and to avoid drug interactions. They also serve as primary care providers in the community. Pharmacists undergo university or graduate-level education to understand the biochemical mechanisms and actions of drugs, drug uses, therapeutic roles, side effects, potential drug interactions, and monitoring parameters. This is mated to anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology. Pharmacists interpret and communicate this specialized knowledge to patients, physicians, and other health care providers. Among other licensing requirements, different countries require pharmacists to hold either a Bachelor of Pharmacy, Master of Pharmacy, or Doctor of Pharmacy d ...

Danish People
Danes ( da, danskere, ) are a North Germanic ethnic group and nationality native to Denmark and a modern nation identified with the country of Denmark. This connection may be ancestral, legal, historical, or cultural. Danes generally regard themselves as a nationality and reserve the word "ethnic" for the description of recent immigrants, sometimes referred to as "new Danes". The contemporary Danish national identity is based on the idea of "Danishness", which is founded on principles formed through historical cultural connections and is typically not based on racial heritage. History Early history Denmark has been inhabited by various Germanic peoples since ancient times, including the Angles, Cimbri, Jutes, Herules, Teutones and others. The first mentions of " Danes" are recorded in the mid-6th century by historians Procopius ( el, δάνοι) and Jordanes (''danī''), who both refer to a tribe related to the Suetidi inhabiting the peninsula of Jutland, the province of Sc ...

Eckol
Eckol is a phlorotannin isolated from brown algae in the family Lessoniaceae such as species in the genus ''Ecklonia'' such as '' E. cava'' or '' E. kurome'' or in the genus '' Eisenia'' such as ''Eisenia bicyclis''. The molecule possesses a dibenzo-''p''-dioxin skeleton and a phloroglucinol component. The molecule can also be viewed as a phloroglucinol trimer. It exhibits an antiplasmin inhibitory effect and a radioprotective effect in a mouse model. It also exhibits an ''in vitro'' cytoprotective effect against oxidative stress in Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts. It also shows antithrombotic and profibrinolytic Fibrinolysis is a process that prevents blood clots from growing and becoming problematic.

Ecklonia Stolonifera
''Ecklonia stolonifera'' (Japanese: ツルアラメ, turuarame) is a brown alga species in the genus ''Ecklonia'' found in the Sea of Japan. It is an edible species traditionally eaten in Japan. Chemistry Phlorotannins ''Ecklonia stolonifera'' contains the phlorotannins phlorofucofuroeckol A, eckol, dieckol, dioxinodehydroeckol (eckstolonol), 2-phloroeckol, phlorofucofuroeckol B, 6,6'-bieckol, triphlorethol-A, phloroglucinol and 7-phloroeckol.
