초록

This work was a method that used an acid hydrolysis for increasing the efficacy of decreasing alcohol concentration from Hovenia dulcis extract. The best pH was 2.0 to obtain a maximum alcohol dehydrogenase activity at fixed reaction temperature and time. At pH 2.0, reaction temperature $80^{\circ}C$ and reaction time 4hr gave the highest activity which was 124% of control. The bioactive compound, (+)-dihydromyricetin, content increased to 30% after acid hydrolysis. This is very simple and efficient method to increase the efficacy of decreasing alcohol concentration from Hovenia dulcis extract. The mechanism that increase the efficiency of alcohol decrease be examined through hydrolysis.
