Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of the Lycopene cultivar of cherry tomatoes as a functional food and food material by measuring the total polyphenol and flavonoid content, anti-oxidative and anticancer activity. The contents of polyphenol and flavonoid were $12.28{\pm}1.78mg$ and $3.89{\pm}0.54mg$ per one g of dried cherry tomatoes respectively. The anti-oxidative activity of the cherry tomato was verified by measuring ${\alpha}$-${\alpha}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (DSA), 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activity (ASA) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). 50% of radical scavenging concentrations ($IC_{50}$) of DSA and ASA were $328.64{\pm}4.190{\mu}g/mL$ and $350.61{\pm}3.300{\mu}g/mL$ respectively. FRAP value was $26.92{\pm}0.68{\mu}mol$ $Fe^{2+}/g$. The effects of the cherry tomato extract on the growth of a normal lung cell (Hel299), lung cancer cell (A549), cervical cancer cell (HeLa) and a liver cancer cell (HepG2) were investigated using MTT assay. The cherry tomato extract showed a significantly strong growth inhibition effects against A549 cell and $IC_{50}$ was $375.46{\pm}33.670{\mu}g/mL$. The extract also inhibited growths of HeLa and HepG2 cells weakly. In this study we found that Lycopene cultivar of cherry tomato had anti-oxidative activity and strong inhibition effect against lung cancer cells. These results indicate that the Lycopene cultivar of cherry tomato would be a functional food and food material.

본 연구에서는 방울토마토 라이코펜 품종의 기능성 식품 또는 식품 소재로서의 효용성을 알아보기 위하여 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량, 항산화 활성, 암세포 생육억제 효과를 검증하여 보았다. 방울토마토 라이코펜 품종의 폴리페놀 함량은 건조물 1 g당 $12.28{\pm}1.78mg$으로 국내산 일반 토마토와 유사하였으며, 플라보노이드는 건조물 1 g당 $3.89{\pm}0.54mg$이 함유되어 있어, 일반 토마토에 비해 4~6배 가량 높았다. 방울토마토 라이코펜 품종의 항산화 활성을 알아보기 위해 DPPH radical scavenging activity(DSA), ABTS radical scavenging activity(ASA) 및 Ferric reducing antioxidant power(FRAP)를 측정하였다. DSA와 ASA를 측정한 결과, 추출물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 라디칼 소거 활성이 증가하였으며, $IC_{50}$은 각각 $328.64{\pm}4.190{\mu}g/mL$, $350.61{\pm}3.30{\mu}g/mL$이었다. 또한, FRAP값은 $26.92{\pm}0.68{\mu}mol$ $Fe^{2+}/g$으로 밝혀져 방울토마토 라이코펜 품종은 항산화 활성이 있음이 확인되었다. 방울토마토 라이코펜 품종의 세포독성과 암세포 생육억제 효과를 검증한 결과, 폐암세포(A549)에 대해 강한 생육 억제 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 방울토마토 라이코펜 추출물은 처리 농도가 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 A549 세포의 생육을 억제하였다. 추출물을 $500{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 처리하였을 경우, 67.39%의 암세포 억제 효과를 보였으며, $IC_{50}$은 $375.46{\pm}33.67{\mu}g/mL$이었다. 또한, 방울토마토 라이코펜 추출물은 자궁경부암세포(HeLa)와 간암세포(HepG2)에 대해서도 약한 생육억제 효과를 보임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 통해 방울토마토 라이코펜 품종은 기능성 식품 또는 식품 소재로서의 가치가 매우 높음이 확인되었다.
