Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate antioxidative and nitrite scavenging abilities of extracts of medicinal plants. Three kinds of medicinal plants, Angelica acutiloba Kitagawa (AA), Akebia quinate Decaisne (AQ), and Caragana chamlagu (CC), were extracted with water and $70\%$ ethanol. The yields of water extracts were increased in the order of Akebia quinate Decaisne ($35.63\%$, Caragana chamlagu ($31.36\%$ and Angelica acutiloba ($8.98\%$). Those of ethanol extracts were Akebia quinate Decaisne ($31.82\%$, Angelica acutiloba Kitagawa ($14.15\%$, and Caragana chamlagu ($5.20\%$). The highest electron donating ability (EDA) at 300-1,000 ppm of water extract was Angelica acutiloba Kitagawa, ranged from $62\%$ to $88\%$ and that of ethanol extract was Akebia quinate Decaisne, ranged from $72\%$ to $87\%$. Nitrite scavenging ability (NSA) of extracts measured at various pH (1.2, 3.0, 4.2, 6.0) showed highest ability in all extracts at pH 1.2 and decreased with increasing pH. The highest NSA of water extracts of 1,000 ppm at pH 1.2 showed $35-40\%$, in Caragana chamlagu and that of ethanol extract was $33-42\%$, in Akebia quinate Decaisne. From these results, Akebia quinate Decaisne was found as a potential raw material baring functionality in the respects of extract yield, EDA and NSA.
