Abstract
Seventy percent ethanolic extracts from commercially available 13 legumes were made to investigated their antioxidative activities by determining the reducing power, inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation, scavenging activity against both superoxide radical and hydroxyl radical, together with inhibitory activity toward mitomycin C-induced oxidative damage of DNA. High level of reducing powers were detected in Yepat, Sokpiri, Yuweol-bean and Jeokdu. Inhibitory effects on lipid peroxidation were found ubiquitously in all extracts examined when employing the linoleic acid autoxidation system, whereas, only 3 legumes, Yepat, Namul-bean and Jeenuni-bean, were revealed marked inhibition in rabbit erythrocyte-ghost membrane lipid peroxidation system. Yepat, Namul-bean, Jeokdu and Jeenuni-bean showed great scavenging activities on superoxide radical, on the other hand, high level of hydroxyl radical scavenging activities were demonstrated in Sokpiri, Chungtae, Yepat and Jebi-bean. Ubiquitous inhibitory effects on mitomycin C-induced oxidative damage on DNA were found in all extracts tested, Among them, however, Yepat, Jeenuni-bean, Namul-bean, Nokdu and Jeokdu showed the higher level of inhibition. Taken together, we could assign Yepat, Jeokdu, Jeenuni-bean and Sokpiri, for the legume species highly functional on overall antioxidative activity.
