Comparison of Antioxidant, Wrinkle Improvement, and Whitening Efficacies of Extracts from Pinus koraiensis Cone Scale Using Extraction Methods

The present study evaluated the antioxidant activity, skin wrinkle reduction, and whitening activity of Pinus koraiensiscone scale extracts made with three different solvents (ethanol, supercritical fluid, and a mixture of both). Total polyphenol content was 11.03 mg/g GAE in the supercritical fluid extractand 33.79 mg/g GAE in the 70% ethanol extract. Electron donating ability of 1,000 ㎍/mL extract was 13.60% in the supercritical fluid extract, 91.37% in 70% ethanol extract, and 71.62% in mixed solvent extract. SOD-like activities in 100 ㎍/mL extract using supercritical fluid, 70% ethanol, and mixed solvents were 16.49%, 21.84%, and 10.7%, respectively. The ABTS⁺ radical scavenging activities of 1,000 ㎍/mL extract were 38.19%, 80.23%, and 78.72%for supercritical fluid extract, 70% ethanol extract, and mixed solvent extract, respectively. Tyrosinase inhibitory activities in 1,000 ㎍/mL extract were 24.54%, 36.55%, and 15.23% for supercritical fluid extract, 70% ethanol extract, and mixed solvent extract, respectively. Elastase inhibitory activities in 1,000 ㎍/mL extract were 15.62%, 22.56%, and 26.64% for supercritical fluid extract, 70% ethanol extract, and mixed solvent extract, respectively. Skin astringent activity (81.23% with 5000 ㎍/mL extract) was only detected in the 70% ethanol extract. Supercritical fluid and mixed solvent extracts showed no such activity. Our analysis of Pinus koraiensiscone scale extracts show that the highest aggregate activity was found in the 70% ethanol extract, followed by mixed solvent and supercritical fluid extracts. Therefore, our results oppose the hypothesis stating supercritical extract has the highest total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity.

추출방법에 따른 잣나무(Pinus koraiensis) 구과피 추출물의 항산화, 주름개선 및 미백 효능 비교

본 연구에서 잣 구과피의 3가지 추출법(에탄올 추출, 초임계 추출, 에탄올과 초임계 추출물의 혼합)에 따른 항산화 활성, 주름개선 그리고 미백활성의 차이를 확인하였다. 그 결과, 총 폴리페놀 함량은 초임계 추출물이 11.03 mg/g GAE, 70% 에탄올 추출물이 33.79 mg/g GAE이었다. 전자공여능의 경우 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 초임계 추출물은 13.60%, 70% 에탄올 추출물은 91.37%, 혼합물은 71.62%이었다. SOD 유사활성은 100 ㎍/mL 농도에서 초임계 추출물은 16.49%, 에탄올 추출물은 21.84%, 혼합물은 10.7%이었다. ABTS⁺ radical 소거능은 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 초임계 추출물은 38.19%, 70% 에탄올 추출물은 80.23%, 혼합물은 78.72% 이었다. Tyrosinase 저해활성은 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 초임계 추출물은 24.54%, 70% 에탄올 추출물은 36.55%, 혼합물은 15.23%이었다. Elastase 저해활성 측정은 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 초임계 추출물은 15.62%, 70% 에탄올 추출물은 22.56%, 혼합물은 26.64%이었다. 피부수렴활성 결과는 70% 에탄올 추출물이 5000 ㎍/mL에서 81.23%이었고, 초임계 추출물과 혼합물은 활성을 나타내지 않았다. 본 연구에서 분석한 활성 결과는 잣구과피 70% 에탄올 추출물, 혼합물, 초임계 추출물 순으로 우수하게 측정되어 총 폴리페놀 함량 및 항산화 활성 모두 초임계 추출물이 높을 것으로 판단한 가설과 정반대의 결과를 나타내었다.
