국화과(Compositae) 다년생 초본인 곰취속(Ligularia)은 국내에 약 9종이 자생하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 이 중 곰취 (L. fischeri (Ledeb.) Turcz.)와 곤달비 (L. stenocephala (Maxim.) Matsum. & Koidz.)는 잎을 생체로 식용하는 대표적인 산채자원으로 최근 웰빙 채소의 소비가 증가하면서 곰취와 곤달비를 비롯한 다양한 산채자원에 대한 생리활성 연구가 다수 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 동일 기간에 수확한 국내 각 지역에서 재배 생산되는 곰취와 곤달비의 온수추출물($45^{\circ}C$)을 대상으로 총 페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량을 분석 비교하였다. 총 페놀함량은 Folin-Ciocalteu법으로 측정하였고, 8.08-19.06 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g dry weight의 함량을 나타냈다. 또한 총 플라보노이드 함량은 Aluminum chloride법으로 측정하였으며, 4.01-18.91 mg quercetin equivalent(QE)/g dry weight 범위에서 값이 확인되었다. 통계 분석 결과, 총 페놀함량은 곰취와 곤달비 종간에 차이가 없었으나 폴라보노이드 함량의 경우, 통계적 유의차를 보이며 곤달비의 평균 플라보노이드 함량이 상대적으로 더 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 한편, 총 페놀함량에서는 곰취와 곤달비 모두 재배 지역 간에 차이를 보였으나 총 플라보노이드 함량은 곰취 개체(지역) 간 차이가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 곰취와 곤달비 외 기타 산채자원들을 활용한 건강기능식품 개발 연구의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 추후 구체적인 생리활성 연구와 형태적으로 매우 유사한 두 종간 명확한 기원정립 연구가 함께 이루어진다면 재배 생산 유통 안전성을 높여 농가 소득 증대 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

One of the most important species, Brassica rapa encompasses a variety of commercial vegetables, such as the Chinese cabbage, pak choi and oilseed crops. The LP08 of yellow sarson (Brassica rapa ssp, tricolaris) have a distinct morphology, with yellow seed color and a unique tetralocular ovary. LP21 of pak choi (Brassica rapa ssp, chinensis) have a dark brown seed color and bilocular ovary. In this study, we generated double haploid plants by crossing the LP08 (maternal variety) and LP21 (paternal variety), using microspore culture. A total of 66 accessions with various morphological characteristics were used for content analysis of flavonoids. The three flavonoids, quercetin, naringenin and kaempferol, showed differing contents in the two crossing parents. The Chinese cabbage type 'Chiifu' was used as the control. The highest accumulation of total flavonoids was observed in LP08. The lowest mean total flavonoids were found in 'Chiifu'. Among the 66 DH accessions, the quercetin contents of 18 accessions showed higher content than LP08. Kaempferol content was also high, and was found to be 79.7% of the total flavonoid content. Naringenin content was low at 2.8%, and was not detected in 22 accessions. Interestingly, the quercetin content positively correlated with the kaempferol content. These results can be used to identify genetic locus and genes related to useful traits. Phenotypic analysis of 66 DH accessions can further be used for natural selection of good breeding materials in B. rapa.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to estimate dietary flavonoids intake of Korean adolescents. Methods: Using data from the 2007-2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a total of 3,957 subjects aged 12-18 were included in this study. We estimated individual daily intake of total flavonoid and six flavonoid classes including flavonols, flavones, flavanones, flavan-3-ols, anthocyanidins, and isoflavones by linking food consumption data with the flavonoids in the commonly consumed food database. The distribution of sociodemographic, health-related, and dietary factors according to flavonoids intake was examined. Results: Average dietary flavonoids intake of the study subjects was 195.6 mg/d in girls, and 189.4 mg/d in boys. The highest flavonoids intake group consumed significantly more fiber, vitamin C, legumes, fruits, and vegetables (p < 0.01) and less fat, grains, meats and dairy foods than other lower consumption groups (p < 0.001). Dietary flavonoid intake showed negative correlation with waist circumference and systolic blood pressure (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study provided basic data for estimation of flavonoids intake of Korean adolescents. Further research will be required for analysis of the association of flavonoids intake and health-related factors such as cardiovascular risk factors.

This study was conducted to investigate the change of Aaster scaber antioxidative activity, total phenolic compounds and flavonoids during the blanching processes. With two parameters such as blanching time and temperature, response surface methodology and central composite design was used to study the combined effect of blanching time (90 to 162 sec) and blanching temperature (75 to $99^{\circ}C$). We found that antioxidative activity, total phenolic compounds and flavonoids during the blanching processes were influenced by blanching temperature and time. Within process condition, total phenolic compounds and flavonoids were extracted 3.00 - 35.48 mg/g and 2.35 - 8.38 mg/g, respectively. DPPH radical scavenging activity was 42.10 - 67.14%. The change of total phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and DPPH radical scavenging activity was dependent of blanching temperature more than time. The total phenolic compounds was increased as temperature rise, but flavonoids not. However, DPPH radical scavenging activity was increased during the blanching process.

The purpose of this study was to investigate total polyphenols, total flavonoid, and DPPH radical scavenging activity in 26 species of Korean natural plants and 14 species of medicinal plant extracts. The plant containing the highest total polyphenols and total flavonoids were Plantago asiatica, and Lespedeza cuneata G. Don, respectively. The content of polyphenols and flavonoids in natural plants was the highest in Lespedeza cuneata G. Don, which also demonstrated high DPPH radical scavenging activity. In medicinal plant extract, Saururus chinensis (Lour.) Baill and Artemisiae Asiaticae Herba had the highest level of total polyphenols (194.60 and 203.92 mg/g extract, respectively) and DPPH radical scavenging activity. Diospyros kaki Thunb and Dryopteris crassirhizoma did not contain high levels of total polyphenols (112.98, 121.46 mg/g extract, respectively) and flavonoids (46.10, 58.69 mg/g extract respectively), but DPPH radical scavenging activity was relatively high. Further study regarding plants that exhibit higher total polyphenols, total flavonoid, and DPPH radical scavenging activity is needed.

Acidic hydrolysis conditions prior to HPLC analysis of plant flavonoids was investigated by response surface methodology (RSM), using leaves of Ginkgo biloba L. Ten hydrolysis conditions using 0.5-2.5 M HCl and 0.5-2.5 hr hydrolysis time were chosen to form a central composite rotatable design (CCRD), and optimization by RSM was achieved by measuring myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol levels by HPLC. Optimum hydrolysis condition was 1.5 M HCl for 1.5 hr. The levels of flavonoids obtained under the condition were in good agreement with predicted maximum values, with yields of more than 95%. These optimum hydrolysis condition was applied to analysis of flavonoid content in the leaves of Camellia sinensis, Ficus carica, and Sageretia theezans.

This study was carried out to investigate the antioxidative activity and cytotoxicity on human KB cell of extract from Rhododendron mucronulatum flower, and also to determine the contents of total polyphenol and flavonoid. The methanol extract of Rhododendron mucronulatum flower was fractionated with various solvents such as hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of ethyl acetate fraction had stronger activity than other fractions. So, antioxidative substances of ethyl acetate fraction were crude purified by silica gel column chromatography. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of crude purified fraction 2 and 3 were more than 90% at 40 ppm. In the presence of $100{\mu}g/mL$, growth inhibition on human KB cell by WST-1 assay showed 81.2% in chloroform fraction and 74.6% in hexane fraction. The contents of total polyphenol and flavonoid of ethyl acetate traction were 32.70% and 20.30%, respectively, The antioxidative activity showed correlation with total polyphenol and flavonoid contents.

The inconsistent methods of harvest, identification, and preparation of brown algae samples make it difficult to compare the results of certain measurements across different studies, such as total phenolic contents (TPC), total flavonoid contents (TFC), and total antioxidant capacities (TAC). Therefore, this study aims to systematically measure and compare TPC, TFC, and TAC in 10 types of standardized brown algae extracts provided by the Bio-Resource Information System of Korea. Among the ten brown algae extracts, Ishige foliacea exhibited the highest levels of TPC and TAC, followed by Sargassum nigrifolium. TAC was measured by the following four assays: ABTS, DPPH, superoxide radical scavenging activities, and ferric reducing antioxidant power. TAC was found to be positively correlated with TPC (p<0.05) but not TFC, indicating that Ishige foliacea and Sargassum nigrifolium have potential use as marine antioxidative food material.

The purpose of this study was to measure the bioactivity and antioxidant activity of seed from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis fructus (GJE). We determined tannin content ($1.517{\pm}0.003mg\;CE/g$, mg of catechin equivalents). The extraction yields of the GJE seed solvent were distilled water (DW) 36.61%, 70% methanol 30.10% and ethyl acetate (EA) 20.40%. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were significantly increased (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 mg/mL). Flavonoid contents (mg QE/g, mg of quercetin equivalents) were observed in the order of 70% methanol (0.799), DW (0.565) and EA (0.117). Antioxidant activities (DPPH, OH, ferrous ion-chelating capacity) were similar to the flavonoid content of each solvent. But ABTS scavenging activity and SOD like ability of DW extract were higher than 70% methanol extract. Comparing the yield and the antioxidant activity of each solvent of GJE seed, it seems to be preferable to use DW and 70% methanol solvent for extraction. As a result of this experiment, it has high antioxidant activity and physiological activity, which is expected to be highly valuable as a functional food and a natural antioxidant.
