Abstract
Changes in activities of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in vitro were examined by measuring maximum absorbances of ADH and ALDH at 340 nm to determine influence of Maesil (Prunus mume) on alcohol metabolism. Facilitating rates of ADH activity were 137.92, 131.58, 152,96, 218.70, 111.76, and 144.27% in Maesil juice, 5, 10, and 15% GMT, and 0.5 and 1.0% aspartic acid, respectively, ALDH activity increased in the order of Maesil juice > ALDH > GMT > aspartic acid, and facilitating rate of ALDH activity in Maesil juice was the highest at 976.44%. These results indicate alcohol metabolizing activity can be enhanced by Maesil juice.
