The contents of organic acid in Korean apple juice were analyzed by HPLC using YMC-peak ODS-AQ column and enzymatic assay. Model apple juices were prepared at the laboratory and commercial apple juices were purchased from the market. Individual organic acid contents were as follows: DL-malic acid 62~402mg%, L-malic acid 48~360mg%, citric acid 1.81~15.74mg%, fumaric acid nd~0.50mg%. Together, these tests gave useful information about the quality and authenticity of a particular apple juice smaple. The presence of D-malic acid was a clear indication of adulteration because this isomer did not occur naturally. Fumaric acid and citric acid levels above trace amounts were also inconsistent with pure apple juice.

To obtain basic information for the quality evaluation, the introduced or domestic sesame seeds were investigated to measure proximate components (crude protein, ash, mineral and oil) and isolated by preparative HPLC system for lignan contents. Although crude protein contents were the highest in Sudan sesame seeds, lipid, ash and mineral contents were not significantly(p<0.05) different between introduced and domestric sesame seeds. Unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic acids were the highest in the domestic sesame seeds. The Mg content of domestic sesame seeds also was larger than that of introduced sesame seeds. A Ca content of domestic sesame seeds, however, was significantly (p<0.05) lower than that of China. Lignan contents, the most important component known as antioxidant, were significantly (p<0.05) higher in domestic sesame seeds than other sesame seeds tested. Our findings suggest that domestic sesame seed has the best quality in terms of the functional components.

The effects of black soybena extracts on enzymes activies of rat were evaluated in present study. Eighty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 100$\pm$10g were divided into twelve groups which consisted of black soybean extract, Pb and Cd solution, and black soybean extract plus Pb or Cd soln groups. The weight gain was increased in black soybean extracts and Pb soln solution group but decreased in Cd soln solution group. The results obtained form the experiment were as follows: Glutamate pyruvate trasaminase (GPT) and glutamate oxaloacetate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) activities were not significantly different among experimental groups. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities of black soybean extract administered groups were decreased than those of Pb and Cd solution group. Black soybean group increased cholinesterase (ChEase) activity as compared to administration of Pb and Cd soln group.

A highly viscous biopolymer from Bacillus coagulans CE-74 was purified and its rheological properties were studied The rheological properties of biopolymers produced by Bacillus coagulans CE-74 were studied at the temperature ranges with 20~8$0^{\circ}C$, at the concentration of 0.5~4.0%, at the pH ranges from 3 to 1 and at the shear rate fo 7.34~73.38 sec-1. The apparent viscosity of biopolymer was decreased with increasing shear rate, and thereby biopolymer showed pseudoplastic characteristics. Biopolymer solution showed a characteristic of non-Newtonian fluid properties. At the concentration of 1%, the consistency index and the flow behavior index were shown at 2.64 poise. sec11 and 0.8571, respectively. All dispersions were pseudoplastic fluids described accurately by Herschel-Bulkley model. The change of the biopolymer viscosity on pH showed the highest value at the pH 7.0 and it showed lower at acidic conditon that at alkaline condition comparatively.

The antioxidative effects of solvent fractions of kimchi on LDL oxidatiojn in vitro as well as hypolipidemic effects of these fractions in rabbit fed atherogenic diet were studied. Methanol extract of deffated kimchi was fractionated sequentially with dichloromethane, ethylacetate, butanol and water. All solvent fractions of kimchi inhibited Cu2+-induced LDL oxidation. Among these fractions, the dicholoromethane fraction at the concentration of 25$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL showed the highest antioxidant effects against LDL oxidation in the aspect of inhibiting TBARS production by 28.03% or prolonged lag phase duration 2-fold compared to those of control. Based on the results from in vitro study, New Zealand White Rabbits grouped six each were fed for 8 weeks either basal diet containing 1% cholesterol or experimental diet containing dichloromethane, ethylacetate or water fraciton added to the basal diet. The amount of solvent fraction of kimchi added to the experimental diet was equivalent to 5% of freeze-dried kimchi. The hypolipidemic effects was observed from all experimental gropus, especially from dichloromethane fraction added group. The plasma and LDL cholesterol levels of this group were decreased by 49% and 47%, respectively while that of HDL increased by 91% compared to those of control. The calculated atherogenic index for the dichloromethane group was the lowest among groups. However, TG lowering effect of experimental group was not observed since solbent fraction of kimchi was used instead of freeze-dried kimchi. The TBARS concentration of LDL isolated from rabbit fed dichloromethane fraction was decreased 21% than that of control. These results indicate that active principles responsible for inhibiting LDL oxidation and lowering plasma cholesterol may present abundantly in dichloromethane fraction of kimchi.

To standardize quality characteristics of commercial doenjang prepared by traditional method, general components, organic acids, amino acids and fatty acid composition were investigated. Moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, titratable acidity (expressed as milliliter of 0.1 N NaOH), acid value and salinity were 54.7%, 13.8%, 8.0%, 14.4mL, 45.7mg/g and 11.8%, respectively. The content of amino type nitrogen was 345.3mg% (w/w) in the range of 207.6 to 443.5mg% being 1.1~2.2-fold for all samples. Average value of Hunter color for L(lightness), a(redness) and b(yellowness) were 37.4, ＋9.7 and ＋21.3, respectively. Browning index value(expressed as optical density at 425 nm) of water-soluble compound(2.58) was above 7.1 times higher than that of the water-insoluble compound(0.38). Total contents of free and total amino acid were 3.81 and 9.72%, respectively, and then the former(1.1~3.7 times) was more different in all samples tested than that of the latter(1.1~2.0 times). Among amino acids, glutamic acid was abundant and its content of free and total amino acids was 0.57 and 1.24%, respectively. Of organic acids, lactic acid was the most abundant being 0.34%(average) and ranged from 0.15 to 0.86%. Linoleic acid(52.17%, as area%) was the highest content of the total fatty acids. Unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids were 83.89 and 61.189%, respectively. Polyunsaturated fatty acid was markedly different among all samples and ranged from 51.52 to 64.91%.

Inhibitory effects of cockle extracts on carcinogen-induced cytotoxicity in C3H/10T1/2 cells were studied. Soup (62$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL), solubility (28$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL) and liposolubility (9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL) of the cockle inhibited 3-methyl-cholanthrene(MCA)-induced cytotoxicity in C3H/10T1/2 cells by 53 and 94%, respectively. These results suggest that the extracts cockle might have anticarcinogen-induced cytotoxicity of C3H/10T1/2 cells. The effects of cockle extracts on the immune response related to its antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo were investigated. The cockle extracts showed a direct cytotoxic effect on sarcoma-180 cells, tumor cells in vitro. Soup (0.49 mg/mL), solubility (0.11 mg/mL) and liposolubiliy (0.05 mg/mL) of the cockle markedly decreased the total numbers of sarcoma-180 cells, but not their viability. The phagocytic acitivity of peritoneal macrophage of mice was significantly augmented by these extracts of the cockle compared with that of control in vivo. These extracts also raised the phagocuytic index, indicating that the number of phagocytize dmicrobes per macrophage increased. Thus, cockle extracts might show a antitumor activity by enhancing the phagocytic cell activities.

The possibility of buckwheat-wheat flour mixture as bread was studied by adding 10, 20, and 30% of buckwheat to wheat flour. To improve bread-making quality of the mixture, gluten, ascorbic acid, and hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) were added to 30% buckwheat-wheat flour and sensory evaluation was also exercised on it. The weight of bread increased but the volume of that decreased as the percentage of buckwheat to wheat flour increased, and improved bread-making quality by adding gluten, ascorbic acid, HPMC to 30% buckwheat-wheat composite flour. When it comes to color, color of the bread got darker as the percentage of buckwheat increased, got brighter when gluten and HPMC were added and showed little difference when ascorbic acid was added. Texture of bread increased in maximum weight, strength, hardness but decreased in springiness and cohesiveness. The use of additives showed influence to the some results. In terms of the aging process, enthalpy increased with storage time, and it could be slowed down by the use of the additives. The sensory evaluation shwoed that 10% buckwheat-wheat bread was most excellent, 20% bread was similar to other bread made from wheat flour, and the bread made by mixing additives were better than just 30% buckwheat-wheat flour in terms of quality.

This study was carried out to compare the nutrients intakes, factors to influence on nutrient intake and frequency of food group intake between the two gruops of elderly living in Yangcheon, Seoul(n=105) and in Yongin(n=159). The results obtained by cross-sectional survey using questionnaires were as follows. 1) The average age of the subjects was 71.9 and there was no significant difference in age and gender distribution according to the residential areas. 2) The intakes of energy, protein, Fe, vitamin A, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, and vitamin C were significantly higher in the urban elderly than those of the rural elderly(p<0.05).3) The average daily intakes of energy, protein, Ca and Fe of the subjects were lower than those of the Korean RDAs in general and the rural elderly showed more severe deficiencies. 4) Individual nutrient intakes and food group intakes were related to the pocket money, number of different foods taken daily, education level, residential area, and the degree of exercise. These results suggested the needs of nutrition intervention for the low-income, rural elderly.

To investigate an effect of the ethanol extract of Lycium chinense(EELC) on the activities of enzymes scavenging oxygen free radicals or detoxicating alcohol. The ground Lycium chinense was extracted with 30% edible ethanol and then diluted with 6% ethanol to contain 2% EELC(w/v). Three different groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats had taken a drink EELC, ethanol(ETH) or water(control), respectively for 2 months. At the end of experimental period, the animals were sacrificed and obtained the following findings. The EELC-treated animals showed the highest activity of hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase among three groups. The activities of xanthine oxidase and cytochrome p-450 from EELC treatment group were lower than those from ETH-treated group. However, the activity of superoxide dismutase was higher in the EELC-treated group than the ETH-treated(p<0.005). Furthermore, hepatic alcohol or aldehyde dehydrogenase activity, and glutathione content and glutathione peroxidase were significantly higher in EELC-treated animals than in ETH-treated those. The activity of glutathione S-transferase in liver was appeared the orderly higher value in EELC, ETH and control-treated group. As the result, EELC may affect the reduction of oxygen free radical production and help the detoxication of ethanol.

중요한 식물성 자원 식품 중의 하나인 감자로부터 생리활성 인자를 탐색할 목적으로, 강자의 폴리페놀 화합물을 추출하여 콜레스테롤 무첨가 식이 및 콜레스테롤 식이에 각각 0.5% 수준으로 첨가한 반합성 식이를 흰쥐에 급여하여 혈청 및 간장지질 농도, 혈당치, 뇨 단백질량에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 콜레스테롤 첨가 식이에서 감자 폴리페놀 화합물 첨가에 의해 혈청 총 콜레스테롤 및 VLDL+ LDL-콜레스테롤 농도, 동맥경화 지수는 유의성은 없었으나 약간 감소하였고, 콜레스테롤 무첨가 식이에서는 이러한 경향들이 나타나지 않았다. 뇨 단백질량은 콜레스테롤 무첨가식이 및 콜레스테롤 첨가 식이에 감자 폴리페놀 화함물 첨가에 의하여 실험 1주일 째에는 각각 12% 및 27% 증가하였으나, 2주일 째에는 콜레스테롤 무첨가 식이군 수준으로 회복되었다. 혈당치는 각 실험군에 유의적인 차이는 없었다.

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 $\alpha$-amylase and lens aldose reductase. Buckwheat soluble protein or rutin suppressed the in vitro activities of angiotensin-converting enzyme, and the inhibitory degree depended largely on the cultivars. Buckwheat proteins exerted higher hydrophobicity being related to the sterol binding capacity than casein. The results suggested that buckwheat seeds may be desirable and functional food resources in human living in current society.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of crude saponin fracton from Korean red ginseng on physiological events of ovariectomized rats. The saponin fractions was prepared by Diaion HP-20 adsorption chromatography and spirit. Total 50 rats were divided into 5 groups : normal control (NC), sham-ovariectomized (SO), ovariectomized (OR), ovariectomized and saponin treated (OS), and normal control treated with saponin (NS). Saponin was intraperitonally administered for 8 weeks. Ovariectomy was carried out at 1 st and 2nd weeks of experiment. Right-side ovary of rat was removed at 1st week, the otehr was done at 2nd week. The body weights fo ovariectomized rats showed no significant changes but that of NS group showed significant increase (p<0.05) compared with NC group. Ovariectomy of rats reduced the weights of femur by 6 to 8% compared with that of NC group. In addition, femur weight of NS group was 5 to 6% higher than that of NC. Uterus weight showed no significant differences by saponin treatment or ovariectomy. Serum testosterone level of ovariectomized rats increased by 60 times compared with that of NC. However, administration of crude saponin to ovariectomized rat attenuated testosterone level to almost that of NC. These results suggest that Korean red ginseng saponin attenuates physiological disorders induced by malfunction of ovary.

표고버섯의 열수추출물과 발암원인 butter yellow를 6주동안 흰주에게 급여한 후 간 및 혈장의 지질성분 분석 및 간기능에 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. Butter yellow 단독 투여군인 BO군에서는 기본식이만을 준 대조군(NO)에 비하여 식욕 감퇴와 체중이 감소한 반면, 표고버섯의 열수추출물(PS) 급여군인 NP군 및 BP군에서는 PS 비급여군인 NO군과 BO군에 비하여 체중 증가량이 현저히 높았다. 간의 총 지질, 총 콜레스테롤, 중성 지질 및 인지질의 함량은 PS투여군이 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 낮았으나, butter yellow 첨가군(BO)에서는 NO군과 비교하여 인지질은 비슷한 수치였으며, 총 지질 및 총 콜레스테롤은 유의적으로 높았다. 혈장의 중성지질과 총 콜레스테롤 함량 또한 BO군에서 지질성분들의 수치가 유의적으로 높았고 PS의 투여로(BP군) 중성지질과 총 콜레스테롤 농도가 감소되는 효과가 있었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 표고버섯 열수추출 다당류(PS)는 화학적 발암불질인 butter yellow 투여시에 나타나는 지칠대사 이상으로 인한 지질의 상승을 방지하며 이러한 결과는 PS의 지질과 산화에 대한 방어 작용 또는 콜레스테롤 저하작용을 하는 성분에 의한 것으로 추측되며 이러한 혈장과 간의 중성 지질 및 콜레스테를 농도의 상승을 방지하는 작용의 물질은 동맥경화증을 예방할 수 있으며, 이는 지질과 산화로 인한 지단백질의 변화에 대하여 방어작용과 세포, 면역 수준에서의 부수적 효과를 배제할 수는 없는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 PS의 투여로 발암 물질을 투여하지 않았을 때와 유사한 수치를 나타남으로서, 이 분획물들 중에 함유되어 있는 유효 성분이 간장의 해독기구에 영향을 주어 간 기능을 활성화 하거나 또는 지방축적 및 고지질화에 완만한 개선작용을 나타내고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In the present studies, we assessed the stability of active components and toxicological safety of irradiated Angelica gigas Nakai(Danggui). In order to confirm the stability of active components in the ${\gamma}$-irradiated roots of Danggui, the quantitative analysis of decursin and decursinol angelate of ${\gamma}$-irradiated sample was carried out by high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods using reverse phase columns and normal phase columns. From the root of Danggui, decursin and decursinol angelate were isolated by a silica gel column chromatography(toluene : ether (1 : 1), Hexane : EtOAc(15 : 1)). And then the structures were confirmed in the 1H and 13C-NMR analysis. The HPLC chromatograms of decursin and decursinol angelate in ${\gamma}$-irradiated Danggui were similar with those of non-irradiated sample. In the examination of in vitro genotoxicity of the water extract from ${\gamma}$-irradiated Danggui using Salmonella reversion assay(Ames test) and micronucleus test in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, mutagenicity was not exhibited in the two assays with or without metabolic activation. These resutls suggest that active components in the ${\gamma}$-irradiated Danggui should be stable and that the safety of ${\gamma}$-irradiated Danggui could be revealed in further test in vivo.

The purpose of this study was to identify excellent immune-enhancing substance from Korean wheats(Eunpa, Gueru, Alchan, Topdong, Suwon 267, Gobun) compared with imported ones(Australian standard white, ASW; Dark northern spring, DNS). Phagocytic activities of PBS (phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4) and EA(ethanol-acetic acid) extracts from the wheats were determined using mouse macrophage J774 cell line. In order to set the optimal experimental condition up, the cultured cells were tested in varying experimental conditions. About two to five times higher phagocytic activity was shown in EA extract of Korean wheats compared to that of imported wheats. PBS extracts of wheats did not show increased phagocytic activity compared to control that did not add any extract. The EA extract of Gobun wheat showed the highest phagocytic activity. From the experiment we found that the optimal experimental condition was shown in two hours of reaction time and 0.05mg amout of EA extract added to J774 cells.

본 연구에서는 우리밀로부터 대식세포 식작용 활성화시키는 물질을 탐색하는 과정에서 고분밀의 EA 추출물이 가장 높은 식작용 활성 증강효과를 보임을 알았고, EA 추출물을 정성한 후 순수 분리 정제하여 대식세포 활성 증강효과를 나타내는 단일 물질을 찾고자 하였다. TLC 방법을 이용하여 ASW와 고분밀의 EA 추출물을 정성한 결과 약 5개 정도의 band를 확인한 후, column chromatography를 이용하여 EA 추출물을 분획하였다. 1차 column chromatography만으로는 single fractionation이 어려워 분획물을 fraction A, B, C, D로 분류하여 식작용 활성 증강효과를 측정하였다. 대분류된 각 fraction의 식작용 활성 증강효과를 측정한 결과 고분밀의 fraction b가 대부분의 활성을 가진 분획으로 사료되었다. 2차 column chromatography를 통해 fraction b만응 분리 하였으며, 구조결정 실험과 동물실험을 추가로 시행하여 fraction b의 효과를 입증할 것이다.

This study carried out to eluciate the cancer chemoprevention of Korean native fermented food, baechu kimchi using Comet assay (in other words, single cell microgel electrophoresis). For this purpose, baechu kimchi was fractionated by water, n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate. 5 strains of dominant fermented bacteria were isolated from baechu kimchi. The water fraction, n-hexane fraction, chloroform fraction, ethyl acetate fraction and water insoluble fractions showed no antigenotoxicitie in non-tumoral normal 3T3 cells. Among 5 bacteria isolates from baechu kimchi, two isolates bacteria 1 and 2 strongly inhibited genotoxicity of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) in non-tumoral normal 3T3 cells (p<0.05). Bacteria 3, 4 and 5 were also not antigenotoxic.

This study was performed to determine the antimutagenic and cytotoxic effect of the Phellinus linteus methanol extract on Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100 and human cancer cell lines. In the Ames test, methanol extract of P. linteus alone did not exhibit any mutagenicity but showed substantial inhibitory effects against mutation induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG), 4-nitroquinoline-nitroquinoline-1-oxide(4NQO), 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrdo[4,3-blindol(Trp-P-1) and benzo(α)pyrene(B(α)P). The methanol extracts of P. linteus(200㎍/plate) showed approximately 78.3%, 78.7% and 88.1% inhibitory effect on the mutagenesis induced by 4NQO, Trp-P-1 and B(α)P. The anticancer effects of P. linteus extract against human breast adenocarcinoma(MCF7), human lung carcinoma (A549), human fibrosarcoma (HT1080), human hepatocelular carcinoma (Hep3B) and human epitheloid carcinoma (HeLa) were investigated. The treatment of 1mg/mL P. linteus extracts had the highest cytotoxicity against MCF7 (92.0%), followed by Hep3B (84.9%), A549 (84.2%) and HT1080 (82.9%). In contrast 1mg/mL treatment of P. linteus extracts had only 10∼40% cytotoxicity on normal human liver cell (WRL68).

Two major oleananesaponins in Bupleuri radix, saikosaponin $\alpha$ and d, were extracted at various solvent compositions and leaching temperatures. Solvent composition was varied at 0 to 100%(v/v) of ethanol-water and methanol-water, whereas leaching temperature was adjusted to te range of 25~45$^{\circ}C$. The most effective extractant and leaching temperature were 70% ethanol and 45$^{\circ}C$, respectively. However, no major differences in saikosaponin content and cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibition were found at various leaching times. The cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitions were alo the highest when 70% ethanol was used as the extractant.

허브를 비롯한 식용되는 채소류로부터 항응고 활성을 검색하기 위하여 93종을 대상으로 냉수(Fr. I), 메탄올(Fr. ll), 열수(Fr. lll)추출물을 각각 조제하였다. 내인성 경로에 작용하는 항응고 활성은 수용성 획분인 Fr.

In this experiment, we show the effects of herbal plant extracts on the production of nitric oxide (NO) and TNF-$\alpha$. The extracts of Angelica gigas, Astragalus membranaceus, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus and Houttuynia cordata had no effect on NO synthesis by itself in mouse macrophage cell line (RAW264.7). However, the stimulation with these extracts in the presence of murine interferon-${\gamma}$(mIFN-${\gamma}$) resulted in increased NO synthesis. When these extracts were used in combination with mIFN-${\gamma}$, there were a marked cooperative induction of NO and TNF-$\alpha$ synthesis in a dose-dependent manner. The same results were obtained in the mouse peritoneal macrophages used. The optimal concentration of these extracts on NO synthesis was shown at 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL with 100U/mL of mIFN-${\gamma}$. NO synthesis was inhibited by NG-monomethyl-L-arginine. When cell lines were treated with extracts, the expression of inducible NO synthetase (iNOS) was markedly increased in RT-PCR analysis. In addition, synergy between mIFN-${\gamma}$ and extracts was dependent on extracts-induced tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$(TNF-$\alpha$). These results suggest that water extracts of herbal plants can induce iNOS, NO and TNF-$\alpha$ synthesis of mouse macrophage cell line (RAW264.7) and peritoneal macrophages in combination with mIFN-${\gamma}$.

Onion was extracted by methyl alcohol and some physiological activities and antioxidative effect of the extracts on soybean oil, corn oil, lard and shortening were compared with commercial antioxidants such as $\alpha$-tocopherol and BHT. The electron donating ability was about 70% at concentration above of 30mg/mL. Nitrite scavenging effects of all concentrations diminished at higher pH, while in the case of pH 1.2, it showed a nitrite scavenging effect of more than 80% af concentration above of 30mg/mL. And also, the angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory effect was good above 80%. The soybean oil, corn oil, lard and shortening containing different levels of the onion extract were stored at 6$0^{\circ}C$ to evaluate the antioxidative activity of onion extracts. Peroxide value, acid value and TBA value of each oil were detected. Onion extract was very effective to retard oxidation of soybean oil, corn oil and lard, and especially, the very high antioxidative effect was observed for lard.
