Abstract

The antioxidant activities of Epimedium koreanum N. methanol extract on the oxidation of fats and oils were studied by measuring peroxide values during storage at $75^{\circ}C$. The methanol extract showed high antioxidant activity on the oxidation of lard and corn oil, and the antioxidant effectiveness increased as the concentrations of the extract in lard increased. After heating the extract at $180^{\circ}C$ for 120 min, the heat-treated extract exhibited above 66% of the original antioxidant effectiveness on the oxidation of lard during storage at $75^{\circ}C$. Epimedium koreanum N. extract, however, accelerated the oxidation of soybean oil during storage under irradiation of ultraviolet light. The main antioxidant components in Epimedium koreanum N. extract seemed to be tocopherols and flavonoids. The contents of ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, ${\gamma}$ and ${\delta}-tocopherol$ in the extract were 21.61, 1.48, 5.50 and 3.75 mg%, respectively.

음양곽(Epimedium koreanum N.)의 methanol 추출물을 각종 식용유지에 첨가하여 $75^{\circ}C$에서 저장하면서 과산화물가의 변화를 측정하므로서 항산화성을 검토하였던 바 유지의 종류에 따라 효력에 차이를 나타내었고 lard와 corn oil에 대한 항산화 효과가 인정되었으며, 특히 lard에 대하여는 항산화 효과가 켰으며 첨가농도에 따라 효과가 증대되었다. 음양곽 추출물을 $180^{\circ}C$에서 120분간 가열하였을 때에도 66% 이상의 항산화성이 잔존하였으나 대두유에 첨가하여 광산화에 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과 자외선 조사에 의하여 급격히 산화가 촉진되었다. 음양곽 methanol 추출물 중의 유효 항산화 성분은 tocopherol류와 flavonoid류로 추정되었으며 ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, ${\gamma}$ and ${\delta}-tocopherol$의 함량은 각각 21.61, 1.48, 5.50 및 3.75 mg%이었다.
