Physiological Activity of Bang-A, Aster and Lettuce Greens by the Different Drying Methods

This study was conducted to investigate into the effective drying method for three greens such as bang-a (Isodon japonicus), aster (Aster yomena) and lettuce greens (Ixeris dentata) Nakai. We have dried three greens using the different drying methods, have made methanol extracts and have also determined the physiological activities in $1,000mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ extracts. Total phenolic compound contents were most increased by 65.1 and $60.2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in the extracts of bang-a and aster which were frozen dried, however, that in lettuce greens were oven dried by $51.2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. Total flavonoid contents were extremely much more in bang-a extracts dried in the oven by $70.6mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, however, aster and lettuce greens extracts frozen dried by 53.9 and $35.8mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. DPPH radical scavenging activity in bang-a extracts were greatly increased by 78.8% when bang-a were frozen and dried, however, that in aster were not significant by $89.8{\sim}90.9%$. DPPH radical scavenging activities in lettuce greens extracts were became highest in the order f oven drying (91.9%), natural drying (91.0%) and freeze drying methods (90.9%). Nitrite radical scavenging activities in bang-a and aster extracts were most increased in the natural drying treatment by 73.3 and 78.2%, however, that in lettuce greens extracts were highest in freeze drying treatment by 75.1%.

방아풀, 쑥부쟁이 및 씀바귀 나물의 건조방법에 따른 생리활성 효과

나물로 이용되는 방아풀, 쑥부쟁이 및 씀바귀의 효율적인 건조방법을 구명하고자 건조방법을 달리하여 건조한 후 메탄올을 용매로 한 추출액 $1,000mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 생리활성을 조사하였다. 총 페놀 함량은 방아풀과 쑥부쟁이는 동결건조 한 것에서 각각 65.1 및 $60.2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$로, 씀바귀는 오븐에서 건조한 것에서 $51.2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$로 가장 많았다. 총 플라보노이드 함량은 방아풀은 오븐건조 처리구에서 $70.6mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$로, 쑥부쟁이와 씀바귀는 동결건조 처리구에서 각각 53.9 및 $35.8mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$로 가장 많았다. 전자 공여능은 방아물의 경우동결건조 한 것에서 78.8%로 가장 높았으며, 쑥부쟁이는 $89.8{\sim}90.9%$로 유의성을 나타내지 않았다. 씀바귀 추출물의 전자 공여능은 오븐으로 건조한 것(91.9%), 자연건조 한 것(91.0%), 동결건조 한 것(90.9%) 순으로 높았다. 아질산염 소거능은 방아풀과 쑥부쟁이는 자연건조 한 것에서 각각 73.3및 78.2%로 높았으며, 씀바귀는 동결건조 한 것에서 75.1%로 가장 높았다.
