To assay for antioxidant capacity of natural products considered important in producing human health benefits, a practical and economical method using pellet techniques was developed. A standard visualizing reagent, 1,1diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), was mixed with a water-miscible polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), serving as a solid phase support for the DPPH reagent. A DPPH pellet was prepared by dropping a small volume of the DPPH solution onto PET film, and drying in an oven. The PVA-based DPPH pellet was dissolved into water, in which the water-miscible PVA plays as a non-ionic surfactant to help the DPPH reagent to be dissolved into the solvent. Using the DPPH assay, the antioxidant capacity of water-soluble extracts of black soybean, barley, green tea, and green gram was examined. Among the natural products tested, green tea showed the highest antioxidant capacity. This PVA-based DPPH antioxidant assay can be further applied in the natural food, raw plant material, and health product inspection field.

유지의 산화안정도 측정을 위해 개발된 DPPH법의 최적화를 위해 시료의 양에 따른 유지의 산화변화를 분석하였고, 결정도니 조건을 사용하여 시중에서 튀김유로 사용되는 4종류 식용유지의 열산화안정성을 측정하였다. CDA와 p-AV는 산화반응이 진행될수록 증가하였으며 시료간의 상대적인 산화안정성 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 반면에 DPPH법은 유지의 산화라디칼과의 반응성을 이용하며 흡광도의 증가와 감소를 반복하는 경향을 나타냈고 이로부터 유지산화라디칼의 변화를 측정 할 수 있었다. 또한 유지의 초기 전자 혹은 수소공여능을 확인할 수 있었고, DPPH 흡광도 증가를 통해 산화방지물질의 소진속도 및 산화라디칼의 생성속도를 계산할 수 있었으며, 산화방지물질의 소진시점을 결정할 수 있었다. 따라서 DPPH법을 기존의 산화도 측정방법과 병용한다면 유지의 산화도는 물론 산화반응 단계를 측정 할 수 있고, 산화안정성을 예측하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) transfers electrons from NADPH to cytochrome P450, and catalyzes the one-electron reduction of many drugs and foreign compounds. Various forms of spectrophotometric titration have been performed to investigate the electron-accepting properties of CPR, particularly, to examine its ability to reduce cytochrome c and ferricyanide. In this study, the reduction of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) by CPR was assessed as a means of monitoring CPR activity. The principle advantage of DPPH is that its reduction can be assayed directly in the reaction medium by a continuous spectrophotometry. Thus, electrons released from NADPH by CPR were transferred to DPPH, and DPPH reduction was then followed spectrophotometrically by measuring $A_{520}$ reduction. Optimal assay concentrations of DPPH, CPR, potassium phosphate buffer, and NADPH were first established. DPPH reduction activity was found to depend upon the strength of the buffer used, which was optimal at 100 mM potassium phosphate and pH 7.6. The extinction coefficient of DPPH was $4.09\;mM^{-1}\;cm^{-1}$. DPPH reduction followed classical Michaelis-Menten kinetics ($K_m\;=\;28\;{\mu}M$, $K_{cat}\;=\;1690\;min^{-1}$). This method uses readily available materials, and has the additional advantages of being rapid and inexpensive.

This study was conducted to evaluate the increase of DPPH radical scavenging activity of meat substitute by heating. The meat substitute showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than those of other foods rich in protein such as beef, pork, chicken, and soybean curd. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of meat substitute was dependent upon concentration, heating temperature and heating time of meat substitute. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of meat substitute was enhanced with increasing heating temperature and time. The increase of DPPH radical scavenging activity was only applied to meat substitute without showing any activation in other foods rich in protein such as beef, pork, chicken, and soybean curd.

본 연구는 제주산 해조류의 생리활성을 대량검색하기 위해 HTS 기법을 이용한 실험과정의 제어 및 관리를 위한 자동화 시스템을 구축하고자 DPPH 라디칼을 이용하여 HTS를 이용한 자동화 시스템을 구축하고 제주산 해조류의 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성을 대량 검색하고자 하였다. 그 결과 HTS를 위한 효율적인 검색방법을 개발하였고 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성이 높은 해조류를 검색하게 되었다. 녹조류의 경우 납작파래 (20G6)의 $20^{\circ}C$ 추출물(1 mg/ml)에서 약 60%이 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성을 보였을 뿐 나머지 해조류에서는 40% 미만이 낮은 활성만을 보였다. 갈조류의 경우 꽈배기 모자반 (20B17), (70B17), 참그물바탕말 (70B1), 큰잎모자반 (70B16)과 감태 (70B26)에서 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성이 우수하였다. 홍조류 중에서는 왜떨기나무붉은실 (20R24)에서 가장 우수한 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성을 나타내었고 갈래잎 (20R17), 굵은참우뭇가사리 (20R18), 부채분홍잎 (20R23) 또한 높은 소거활성을 보였다. 따라서 우수한 효과를 나타내었던 해조류를 대상으로 용매분획 및 활성물질의 분리, 정제를 통해 해조류 유래의 기능성 신소재를 개발한다면, 해조류의 고부가가치화 및 HTS기술의 보편화에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to measure the total polyphenol contents and DPPH radical scavenging activities of different potato plants parts, varieties, and grades, and by distribution and different cooking conditions. The results were as follows. For the plant parts, total phenolic content and DPPH radical scavenging activity were highest in the flowers followed by leaves and stems, respectively. Among 5 potato varieties, 'Jasim' had the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity and the activity of its pulp was lower than that of its cortex(peel). Regardless of potato grade, the cortexes(peel) of samples had two-fold higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than pulp, and the Grade SS potato had the highest phenolic content. It was also found that the bud ends and stem ends had comparably larger amounts of phenolic compounds in horizontally cut potatoes. Finally, the descending order for DPPH radical scavenging activity, according to different cooking conditions, was as follows: gas oven range-baking, frying, microwave-heating, sauteing, boiling in 1% saline solution, steaming, and boiling in 3% saline solution.

온도, pH, 배양시간을 세가지 인자로 하고 반응표면 분석을 통하여 Bacillus subtilis DC-2균에 의한 색소 생성 및 DPPH($\alpha$,$\alpha$-diphenyl-$\beta$-picryl-hydrazyl)에 의한 전자공여성의 최적 조건을 조사하였다. 색소생성능에는 배양온도가 10% 유의수준에서 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, DPPH에 의한 전자공여성의 경우 배양온도가 5% 유의수준, pH가 10% 유의수준에서 영향을 미치며, 배양시간은 10% 유의수준에서 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. Bacillus subtilis DC-2의 색소생성 최적 조건은 배양온도 39.$25^{\circ}C$, pH 8.83 및 84.41 시간으로 나타났으며 DPPH에 의한 전자공여성은 배양 온도 39.19$^{\circ}C$, pH 8.84 및 82.21시간에서 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Objective : This study was designed fo find out whether Astragali Radix Herbal-Acupuncture Solution(ARHA) can scavenge NO, DPPH and IL-4 or not. Astragali Radix has been clinically used to reforce the depression of immune reponse etc. in Oriental Medicine. Methods : Free radical metabolism seems to occupy a remarkably common position in the mechanisms of ageing and ageing related disease. Oxidative damage to DNA, lipids, proteins and other molecules may contribute to the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease and possibly neurodegenerative disease. The effects of ARHA on NO, DPPH and IL-4 were measured. Results : The followings are the summary of the result; (1) There is a significant scavenging effect of ARHA on NO in 1, $10mg/m{\ell}$ group in after 24hrs. (2) There is no significant scavenging effect of ARHA on DPPH. (3) There is a significant scavenging effect of ARHA on IL-4 in 1, $10,100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ group. Conclusions : These results suggest that ARHA has significant scavenging effect on NO, IL-4 and not on DPPH. This study shows that ARHA can be used for ageing related disease and further studies are required to investigate the antioxidative effects of it.

A method for simultaneously identifying antioxidative compounds was developed using time-based LC-MS coupled with DPPH assay regardless of the time consuming process. The methanolic extract of Polygonum aviculare (Polygonaceae) showed significant DPPH radical scavenging activity. Time-based DPPH assay for simultaneous identification of active compounds from the extracts of P. aviculare was used. Major peaks of ethyl acetate fraction of P. aviculare showed high DPPH radical scavenging activity. A simple phenolic compound (1) and six flavonoids (2-7) were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of P. aviculare by silica gel and sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The structures of seven compounds were determined to be protocatechuic acid (1), catechin (2), myricitrin (3), epicatechin-3-O-gallate (4), avicularin (5), quercitrin (6), and juglanin (7) based on the analysis of the $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR and ESI-MS data. All compounds exhibited significant antioxidant activity on DPPH assay and active compounds were well correlated with predicted one.
