Sorghum has been consumed as one of the important staple food in the semiarid tropics of Africa and Asia. Sorghum is rich in starch, protein, essential vitamins and minerals and grows relatively well in dry climate regions when it compared with other staple food crops. Sorghum has taken an increased interest due to several studies that report about the beneficial effects of sorghum on human health. In the present study, we investigated the antioxidative and activity of extract of milling by-products (hull and bran) of Korean sorghum cultivar, 'Hwanggeaumchal' as well as its grain. Hull extract showed the highest total polyphenol contents ($29.7{\pm}0.2mg\;GAE/100g$) and major four pigments content ($322.6{\pm}14.5mg/100g$). From results of 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, hull extract ($IC_{50}$, $6.3{\pm}0.1{\mu}g/mL$) was also showed the strongest antioxidative effects. Bran and grain showed similar polyphenol, pigments contents and antioxidative effects. We determined cell viability by MTT assay and evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity by measuring nitric oxide (NO) of hull, bran and grain methanol extract (0.5% HCl v/v) on RAW 264.7 cells. Hull extract treatment was significantly decreased NO production with dose-dependant manner. Apigeninidin as one of the major pigment of hull was showed inhibitory activity against NO production without cytotoxicitiy. Therefore, sorghum milling by-products can be used as a good source of antioxidative and anti-inflammatory agents.

The optimum cultural conditions for production of Monascus natural pigment by Monascus purpureus MK2 were investigated in submerged culture. This strain was showed the maximum production of monascus natural pigment in the optimal medium of 3.0% wheat flour, 0.15% $NaNO_3$, 0.2% $K_{2}HPO_4$ and 0.05% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_{2}O$, at pH 7.0. The maximum production of this pigment was achieved at $30^{\circ}C$ for 7 day cultivation under 130 rpm shaking. At optimal condition, Monascus purpureus MK2 produced 29.10, 36.84 and 48.92 units of yellow, orange and red pigment, respectively.

Effects of amino acids (Arg, Lys, Gly, Ile, Glu, Asp, and Met) on the color intensity, stability and antioxidative properties of anthocyanins extracted from grape skins were investigated. Intensity of anthocyanins was significantly increased by the addition of Asp. Except for basic amino acids such as Arg and Lys, stabilities of anthocyanins were significantly improved by the addition of other amino acids including neutral, acidic and sulfur containing amino acids during the storage at $30^{\circ}C$ at pH 3.5. In case of control anthocyanins was remained unchanged the intensity of red color decreased significantly during the storage whereas their antioxidative activity were unchanged. Although effects of amino acids addition on electron donating abilities of anthocyanins were not differentiated by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method, the addition of Asp or Met resulted in increased ferric reducing ability which measured by FRAP (ferric reducing ability of plasma) assay.

오디를 약제나 식용으로 사용되고 있는 염색재료를 이용한 천연염색은 화학염료의 잠재적인 인체독성이나 알르레기 유발 가능성을 간단하게 극복할 수 있는 대안 중의 하나이다. 따라서 약리 효과를 갖는 식물을 염색 재료로 이용하여 다양한 색상 뿐 아니라 피부와 인체에 유익한 약성을 발휘하는 천연염색이 최근 각광을 받고 있다. 한편 천연색소에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 식품이나 화장품 등에 첨가하여 기능성을 높이고자 하는 연구도 진행중으로 오디에 함유된 anthocyanin 색소를 이용하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 상주지역에서 생산하는 식용오디를 경기도 남양주에 위치한 아세아기공사에서 제작한 생즙추출기로 문경시 수평면에서 위치한 이젠하우스에서 추출한 오디생즙을 구입하여 염색의 재료로 사용하였다. 처리 섬유의 무게를 200g 으로 하여, 욕비 1:10 으로 하여 처리액을 2000g 고정하였다. 처리시에 오디추출액의 비율을 10%(200g+1800g), 20%(400g+1600g), 30%(600g+1400g), 40%(800g+1200g), 50%(1000g+1000g)으로 조정한 염색액에 면, 레이온, 견, 옥사를 처리온도, 처리농도를 달리하여 실험하였다. 처리온도를 $40^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$, $80^{\circ}C$ 로 하였으며, 처리시간은 1시간으로 동일하게 실험하였다. 처리후에 매염시간은 $60^{\circ}C$에서 1000g의 매염제로 철, 구리, 명반의 1% 용액에 10분간 처리하였다. 실험후 온도에 따른 염색의 정도와 처리농도, 매염제 처리전후의 염색성을 비교하기 위하여 색차값를 측정하였다.

Seven kinds (acacia, cochineal, catechu, grape peel, persimmon, gallnut and clove) of color powders obtained from natural resources and their mixtures were evaluated for their biological activities, such as antioxidant (ABTS and DPPH radicals scavenging), cholesterol absorption, and COX-2 inhibitory activities. Catechu, gallnut and clove were selected for the further studies due to its the best activities. The cholesterol absorption, COX-2 inhibitory, ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities were measured using the mixtures of catechu, gallnut and clove. The ABTS radical scavenging activity of the seven types of natural color powders were higher than the DPPH radical scavenging activity. The cholesterol absorption activity was significantly higher in cloves. The COX-2 inhibitory activity was significantly lower in acacia. The ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity was higher in catechu and gallnut, indicating that there were no significant difference between two mixtures. The ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity was the highest in catechu, which was higher than that of the catechu-containing mixtures. From all these results, a synergistic effect could be obtained when utilizing a mixture of powders rather than using only individual type. Since the activity of each powder was different, further studies will be required for clarifying the interactions between mixtures.

Extraction Efficiency of colorants from sorghum and its storage stability were examined according to the various extracting and storage conditions in this study. The obtained results were as follows ; The absorbance values of extracted colorants were increased with increasing extract time and temperature. The extraction at pH 4 extract was most efficient among the various pH conditions. In the juice extractor system, the amount of extracted colorant was more in distilled water pre-treatment than pH 5, but it was more in pH 5 in the long time pre-treatment above 20 hour. The color of extract solutions changed through variation of the pH. Its color changed from light yellow to heavy yellow finally red ton by pH increasing. The Methionine addition gave an effect on the storage stability of colorant solution and then had better storage stability. And so it delayed the color change up to storge period 18th day and the stabilizing effect was revealed in order of Methionine 10mmol-addition>20mmol-addtion>non-addtion.

In order to make natural food color from Gardenia, we investigated optimal conditions of color extraction, and thermal stability and light stability of color extracted compared with Yellow-4. In case of ethanol extraction, optimal conditions for color extraction were substrate 10%, 4$0^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0 and 42rs, respectively. In case of water extraction, optimal conditions for color extraction were substrate 10%, 7$0^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0 and 48hrs, respectively. Extraction yield in the optimal conditions was 75% in ethanol and 63% in water. The thermal stability and light stability of Yellow-4 were both upper 98%, but those of Gardenia yellow color were 62 and 90%, respectively.

천연염색은 자연의 식물, 광물, 동물 등에서 염료를 추출하여 직물에 착색하는 것을 의미한다. 합성염료가 발명되기 이전까지 천연염료를 이용하여 의류 및 생활용품 등의 직물에 염색을 하고 인체에 장식을 하였다. 천연염색 중 대부분은 식물성 염료로서 식물의 껍질, 줄기, 열매, 뿌리 등으로부터 색소를 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 천연염색은 그 색상이 차분하고 은은하며, 생리적 측면에서 항균성, 소취성이 있으며, 염색공정이 환경친화적인 저공해 염색으로 알려져 있다. (중략)
