In vitro Screening of Dietary Factors on Buckwheat(Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) Influencing the Regulation of Blood Pressure, Glucose and Cholesterol Level
혈압, 혈당 및 콜레스테롤농도 조절에 영향을 주는 식이 메밀인자의 in vitro 검정
Abstract
Generally, buckwheat has been regarded as a crop of secondary importance in many countries. In vitro functionalities of buckwheats as a food were evaluated in this study. Five of buckwheat cultivars were extracted with methanol, and the extractant were dried and lyophilized, separately. Or water soluble buckwheat components were digested with the commercial enzymes and the obtained protein hydrolysate was again fractionated by acid precipitation. The antioxidant capacity of the methanol extracts determined using Fe2+-ascorbic acid system was dependent ont the cultivars: The extract of Suwon 4 showed 3.3 times stronger activity than ascorbic acid in terms of IC50. Also, the extracts of buckwheats inhibited efficiently the activities of
