Biological Activities of Extracts from Okkwang (Castanea crenata) Chestnut Bur

The contents of phenolic compounds in water and 40% ethanol extracts from Okkwang (Castanea crenata) chestnut bur solid (OCS) were $11.24{\mu}g/50{\mu}g$ solid and $10.28{\mu}g/50{\mu}g$ solid, respectively. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline- 6-sulfonic acid) radical decolorization activities of water and ethanol extracts were 85% and 100% as well as 87% and 86% at a solid content of $50{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The anti-oxidant protection factors (PFs) of water and ethanol extracts at a solid content of $200{\mu}g/mL$ were 1.22 PF and 1.45 PF, respectively. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance were 83% in water extract and 73% in ethanol extract at a solid content of $200{\mu}g/mL$. The inhibitory activities against xanthine oxidase in water and ethanol extracts were 54% and 43% at a solid content of $200{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The inhibitory activities against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase were 95% in water extract and 96% in ethanol extract at a solid content of $50{\mu}g/mL$. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity was 27% in ethanol extract at a solid content of $200{\mu}g/mL$. The collagenase and elastase inhibitory activities as anti-wrinkle effect were 93% and 11% in water extract as well as 94% and 56% in ethanol extract at a solid content of $200{\mu}g/mL$. Hyaluronidase inhibitory activity as anti-inflammatory effect of water and ethanol extracts were 96% and 52% at a solid content of $200{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The results show that extracts from OCS can be used as a functional resource with antioxidant, anti-gout, carbohydrate degradation inhibitory, whitening, anti-wrinkle, and anti-inflammatory activities.

옥광(Castanea crenata) 밤송이 추출물의 생리활성 효과

옥광(Okkwang; Castanea crenata) 밤송이 고형분의 phenolic 화합물의 함량은 물, 40% 에탄올 추출물에서 각각 11.24, $10.28{\mu}g/50{\mu}g$ solid로 측정되었다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 물, 에탄올 추출물 $50{\mu}g/mL$ solid 농도에서 각각 85, 87%의 전자공여능을 나타내었고, ABTS 라디칼 소거능은 물, 에탄올 추출물에서 각각 100, 86%의 전자공여능을 나타내었다. PF에서는 물, 에탄올 추출물 $200{\mu}g/mL$ solid 농도에서 각각 1.22, 1.45 PF를 나타내었고, TBARS는 물 추출물에서 83%, 에탄올 추출물에서는 73%의 효능을 나타내었다. XOase 저해 효과는 물, 에탄올 추출물 $200{\mu}g/mL$ solid 농도에서 각각 54, 43%를 나타내었다. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase 저해 효과는 $50{\mu}g/mL$ solid 농도에서 물 추출물은 95%, 에탄올 추출물에서는 96%의 저해 효과를 나타내었다. 미백을 나타내는 tyrosinase 저해 효과는 $200{\mu}g/mL$ solid 농도에서 에탄올 추출물은 27%의 효능을 나타내었다. 주름개선을 보여주는 collagenase 저해 효과는 $200{\mu}g/mL$ solid 농도에서 물, 에탄올 추출물 각각 93, 94%의 우수한 주름개선 효과를 나타내었으며, elastase 저해 효과는 $200{\mu}g/mL$ solid 농도에서 에탄올 추출물은 56%의 효능을 나타내었다. 항염증 효과를 나타내는 HAase 저해 효과를 측정한 결과 $200{\mu}g/mL$ solid 농도에서 물, 에탄올 추출물에서 각각 96, 52%의 항염증 효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과로 보아 OCS 추출물은 항산화 활성, 통풍 억제, 항당뇨, 미백, 주름개선, 항염증 효과가 우수하므로 기능성 소재로서 사용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
