Functional food activities of extracts from Pinus densiflora root

In this study, the antioxidative activity and functional food activities of water and ethanol extracts from Pinus densiflora root were examined. It was more effective to use ethanol than water when extracting phenolic compounds. The extracted phenolic compounds from Pinus densiflora root for biological activities were examined. The phenolic compounds extracted with water and 80% EtOH were $1.86{\pm}0.04mg/g$ and $6.85{\pm}0.16mg/g$, respectively. DPPH free radical scavenging activity of water and EtOH were each 86% and 85% at $100{\mu}g/mL$ phenolics, respectively. ABTS radical decolorization activity was 48% in water and 68% in EtOH at $200{\mu}g/mL$. Antioxidant Protection Factor (PF) were 1.74 PF in water and 1.96 PF in EtOH at $50{\mu}g/mL$. TBARs of water and EtOH were 93% and 98%, respectively at $100{\mu}g/mL$. The inhibition activity on xanthine oxidase was 83.7% in water extracts and 79.6% in ethanol extracts. Inhibition on xanthine oxidase of water and ethanol extracts showed a higher inhibition effect than allopurinol. The inhibition activity on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase was 14.8% in water extracts and 91.6% in ethanol extracts. The result suggests that P. densiflora root extracts may be useful as as functional food material.

동송근(Pinus densiflora root) 추출물의 기능성식품 활성

소나무 뿌리로부터 phenolic compounds를 추출 후 생리활성을 검정하여 기능성 소재로 활용가능성을 살펴보았다. 동송근에 함유된 페놀성 물질은 물과 80% ethanol을 용매로하여 24시간 이상 추출하였을 때 각각 1.86 mg/g, 6.85mg/g 함량을 나타내었다. 추출물의 phenolic 농도를 $50{\sim}200{\mu}g/mL$로 조절하여 DPPH를 측정한 결과, 물 추출물과 ethanol 추출물 $100{\mu}g/mL$ phenolics 농도에서 각각 86%, 85%였고, ABTS radical decolorization은 물 추출물과 ethanol 추출물에서 각각 48%, 68%였다. Antioxidant protection factor는 $50{\mu}g/mL$ phenolics 농도에서 물 추출물과 ethanol 추출물에서 각각 1.74 PF와 1.96 PF로 측정되었으며, TBARs값은 $100{\mu}g/mL$ phenolics농도에서 물 추출물이 93%, ethanol 추출물에서 98%를 나타내었다. Xanthine oxidase 저해능은 물 추출물과 ethanol 추출물에서 각각 84%, 80%로 측정되었으며, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해능은 ethanol 추출물에서만 92%의 높은 효능을 보였다. 이러한 결과로 보아 동송근 추출물이 항산화활성 또는 기능성 식품소재로서 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.
