The purpose of this study was to provide the basic data of butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata) according to the drying methods. The proximate composition and chromaticity of freeze-dried and hot air-dried Cucurbita moschata powders were evaluated, and the antioxidant effects of these ethanolic extracts were analyzed by DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, reducing power activity, total phenolic, and flavonoid content. As a result, Cucurbita moschata was revealed to have high carbohydrate and crude protein contents, while crude ash and crude fat contents were relatively low. Also, it was confirmed that the hot air-dried Cucurbita moschata had lower L, a, and b values than the freeze-dried Cucurbita moschata. Additionally, as a result of analyzing the antioxidant activity of Cucurbita moschata ethanolic extracts, hot air-dried Cucurbita moschata ethanolic extract showed significantly superior antioxidant activity than freeze-dried Cucurbita moschata ethanolic extract. Also, hot air-dried Cucurbita moschata ethanolic extract was revealed to have a higher polyphenol content, but slightly lower flavonoid content than freeze-dried Cucurbita moschata ethanolic extract. Based on the data from this study, further experiments on Cucurbita moschata material are necessary.

In recent year, We are concerned about anti-aging, disease-protection, long-life, many methods are used in solving this problem. And Those are related with antioxidative ability. Recently, We heard that Cucurbita moschata Duch. has anti-hypertensive effect and good for health. So I let made a experiment for this result of the anti-oxidant effect of Cucurbita moschata Duch. used for 3 methods, those are DPPH radical scavenging activity, Nitric oxide(NO) radical scavenging activity and Bovine serum albumin(BSA). The results of this study were as follows: We measured level of DPPH radical scavenging activity. And we obtained results that the ability of DPPH radical's elimination was increased when concentration of Cucurbita moschata Duch. was to $20\;mg/m{\ell}$. We measured level of Nitric oxide(NO) radical scavenging activity. And we founded that the ability of NO radical's elimination was increased when concentration of Cucurbita moschata Duch. was to $10\;mg/m{\ell}$. When we inspected antioxidation with Bovine serum albumin(BSA). And we obtained that antioxidative ability was increased after$2.5\;mg/m{\ell}$ of Cucurbita moschata Duch.. So I guess that Cucurbita moschata Duch. has effect of antioxidative ability. Hereafter we need differential experimental methods for evidence of antioxidative effect on Cucurbita moschata Duch.

The edible part of cucurbita moschata Duch, which is commonly used as a Korean traditional medicine as well as a popular food source, was studied to isolate anti-complementary substance. Extracts of Cucurbita moschata Duch showed significant anti-complementary activities on the classical pathway of the complement system. Especially, the ripe Cucurbita moschata Duch had more activity than that of the complement system. Especially, the ripe Cucurbita moschata Duch had more activity than that of the green one in terms of the overall anti-complementary activity. Among the extracts of various organic solvents of the ripe Cucurbita moschata Duch, chloroform and ethyl-acetate extracts, which are non-polar solvent extracts, showed the strongest activities. These results suggest that the major difference in the solvent extraction for the anti-complementary substances depends on the change in the chemical composition such as the fatty acid with the degree of ripening.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor acts on the inhibition of ACE and causes a decrease in blood pressure. There have been several reports on screening of ACE inhibitors from natural food products and protein hydrolysates of various food sources. Ripe Cucurbita moschata Duch has been used as an oriental medicine in Korea. To isolate ACE inhibitors, crude water extracts of the edible portion of ripe Cucurbita moschata Duch were obtained after heating in water at 95$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. Crude extracts were then filtered using PM-10 and YM-1 membranes. The membrane-filtered solution was loaded onto Sephadex G-15 column equlibrated with a phosphate buffer. Among the four major fractions of gel permeation chromatography, the second fraction had the highest inhibitory activity of 65%. Further purification of the fraction using reversed-phase HPLC with a $C_{18}$ column produced ACE inhibitors, which were identified as a mixture having molecular mass of 222 and 273 by Tandem mass spectrometry.

민간약으로 사용되는 당호박의 물 추출물에 대하여 실험한 결과 500mg/kg 투여군에서 carrageenan에 의한 부종에 대하여는 42.1%의 억제효과를 보였고, 고지방 식이에 의해 상승된 혈중 cholesterol과 triglyceride의 함량을 각각 20.1%와 35.3% 감소시킨 반면 HDL-cholesterol의 함량을 43.1% 증가시킴으로 고지혈증에 대하여 유의성 있는 억제효과를 나타내어 당호박의 부종 및 고지혈증의 치료에 대한 약용가치는 충분하다고 사료된다.

A new unsaturated hydroxy fatty acid was isolated from the leaves of Cucurbita moschata through repeated silica gel column chromatography and chemical methods. The structure of the new fatty acid was determined as 13-hydroxy-9, 11, 15-octadecatrienoic acid on the basis of several spectral data including 2D-NMR. The stererostructures of double bonds were determined to be 9Z, 11 E and 15E by coupling patterns of related proton signals in the $^1H-NMR$ and NOESY experiments.

Light membrane vesicles were isolated from the zucchini hypocotyl by floatation on ficoll density gradients and the proteins were solubilized with Triton X100. Three ATP-hydrolyzing enzymes were partially purified by ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography and isoelectric focusing. There are plasma membrane-type ATPase whose activity was inhibited by vanadate but not by nitrate, tonoplast-type ATPase which was sensitive to nitrate but insensitive to vanadate and one having a phosphatase activity with a pI value different from that of an acid phosphatase. A fraction was obtained after DEAE-ion-exchange chromatography crossreacting with polyclonal antibodies against Ca2+ -ATPase from human erythrocytes.

모자익병징을 나타내는 호박, 박, 오이, 참외, 수박의 박과작물에서 Watermelon Mosaic Virus(WMV)를 분리동정하였다. 이병주로 부터 분리된 WMV는 복숭아혹진딧물(Myzus persicae, Sulzer)에 의해 쉽게 충매전염되었고 종자전염은 되지 않았다. 지표식물검정결과 명아주에서는 접종엽에 대형의 국부병반이, 호박, 박, 오이, 참외, 수박에서는 접종상엽에서 모자익병반이 나타났고 담배(Nicotiana tabacum, Bright yellow), 담배 (Nicotanan glutinosa), 동부, 페추니아, 독말풀에서는 반응이 나타나지 않았다. WMV isolate의 물리적 성질은 내열성 $55\~65^{\circ}C$, 내희석성 $10^{-4}\~10^{-5}$배, 내보존성 $7\~8$일간이었다. WMV isolate의 항혈청반응은 미량침강법에서 양성으로 나타났고 바이러스립자의 형태는 전자현미경검경결과 대부분이 750nm의 사상입자이었다. 이상의 시험결과로 박과 작물에서 분리한 바이러스가 WMV 임이 확인되었다.

늙은 호박의 부위를 나누고 추출용매를 증류수, 50% EtOH, 100% EtOH로 달리하여 건물 중량의 25배에 해당되는 부피(w/v)일 때, 추출물의 생리활성 및 항산화 효과를 측정하였다. 추출물의 수율을 측정한 결과 추출용매를 증류수로 사용한 추출물들이 가장 높았으며, 특히 섬유질 추출물이 14.62%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 전자공여 작용의 경우 50% EtOH로 추출한 섬유질 추출물이 52.37%의 높은 전자 공여능을 보였다. SOD 유사활성을 측정한 결과에서는 100% EtOH에 의해 추출된 과육 추출물이 42.48%로 다른 추출물보다 높은 유사활성을 나타냈다. 총 폴리페놀 함량의 경우 50% EtOH로 추출한 섬유질 추출물이 121.49 mg%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 아질산염 소거능 측정 결과에서 모든 추출물이 pH 1.2에서 소거능이 가장 높게 측정되었다. Tyrosinase 활성 저해능의 경우 모든 과육 추출물이 11.36~19.14%로 가장 높게 나타났으나 비교물질인 L-ascorbic acid에 비해 매우 낮은 저해능을 보였다. ACE 저해활성에서도 전자공여능과 페놀함량 측정결과와 같이 50% EtOH로 추출한 섬유질 추출물이 가장 높게 나타났다.
