The permeability of cathodic electrolyzed water toward electrophoretic gel and dissolvability of cathodic electrolyzed water toward green tea components were compared with those of general waters in this investigation. Stained band intensities of the proteins by CBB-R prepared in cathodic electrolyzed water were compared with those in deionized water for various time intervals. Proteins were stained first by CBB-R in cathodic electrolyzed water as compared with those by CBB-R in deionized water. Moreover, cathodic electrolyzed water showed dramatically enhanced solubility toward green tea components at $25^{\circ}C$ than general waters. These results suggest much greater permeability and dissolvability of cathodic electrolyzed water than those of general waters.

Fermented soybean sauce was fractionated by gel filteration chromatography and the physico-chemical properties of each fraction were investigated for the study on the separation and characteristics of antioxidative substances in the soybean sauce. The brown coloured melanoidin fractions(MF-I) collected by Sephadex G-10 column were found to contain nitrogeneous compounds and to have strong antioxidative activity and reducing power. The freeze dried MF-I was further fractionated with Sephadex G-50 and G-100 successively and then MF-II and MF-III fractions were observed to be the most effective antioxidant and reducing power among the fractions. The UV-VIS and IR absorption spectra of the each fraction were also determined and discussed.

본 연구에서는 산성전리수와 환원전리수의 미생물 제어력을 정량적으로 비교하였다. 산성전리수와 환원전리수에 병원성 미생물을 각각 시간별로 노출시킨 결과, 산성 전리수와 환원전리수 모두 미생물을 제어 할 수 있다. 특히 산성 전리수는 각종 병원성 미생물에 대하여 순간적으로 미생물을 제어하는 강력한 살균효과를 보여주었다. 이에 비해 환원전리수는 산성전리수의 강력한 미생물 제어력에는 미치지 못하기는 하지만, 시판되는 무기 항균제보다는 우수하거나 비슷한 미생물 제어력을 보여주었다.

Seventy percent ethanolic extracts from commercially available 13 legumes were made to investigated their antioxidative activities by determining the reducing power, inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation, scavenging activity against both superoxide radical and hydroxyl radical, together with inhibitory activity toward mitomycin C-induced oxidative damage of DNA. High level of reducing powers were detected in Yepat, Sokpiri, Yuweol-bean and Jeokdu. Inhibitory effects on lipid peroxidation were found ubiquitously in all extracts examined when employing the linoleic acid autoxidation system, whereas, only 3 legumes, Yepat, Namul-bean and Jeenuni-bean, were revealed marked inhibition in rabbit erythrocyte-ghost membrane lipid peroxidation system. Yepat, Namul-bean, Jeokdu and Jeenuni-bean showed great scavenging activities on superoxide radical, on the other hand, high level of hydroxyl radical scavenging activities were demonstrated in Sokpiri, Chungtae, Yepat and Jebi-bean. Ubiquitous inhibitory effects on mitomycin C-induced oxidative damage on DNA were found in all extracts tested, Among them, however, Yepat, Jeenuni-bean, Namul-bean, Nokdu and Jeokdu showed the higher level of inhibition. Taken together, we could assign Yepat, Jeokdu, Jeenuni-bean and Sokpiri, for the legume species highly functional on overall antioxidative activity.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of drying and extraction methods on antioxidant activity and total phenol content of Gnaphalium affine D. DON (GA). Hot-air, shade-drying, and freeze-drying were used for drying, after which magnetic stirring and ultrasonification were applied. Extracting solvents were water, 80% ethanol, and 80% methanol. Total phenol content was highest in 80% ethanol extract of freeze-dried and stirred GA. Total flavonoid content was highest in 80% methanol extract of freeze-dried and stirred GA. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity was higher in 80% methanol and 80% ethanol extracts than in water extract. 2,2-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging activity was highest in 80% ethanol extract of shade-dried and ultrasonicated GA. Reducing power was generally higher in 80% methanol extract than in 80% ethanol and water extracts of GA. Total phenol and total flavonoid contents were highly correlated with DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing power, respectively. This result implies that the antioxidant activity of GA can be attributed to phenol compounds such as flavonoids. Conclusively, phenol compounds such as flavonoids are responsible for the antioxidant activity of GA, and there was no significant effect of drying and stirring conditions on antioxidant activity of 80% ethanol. Meanwhile, DPPH radical scavenging activity of water extract and reducing power of 80% methanol extract were higher in hot-air and shade-dried GAs than in freeze-dried GA.

The antibacterial effects of electrolyzed reduced water on the bacterial growth were studied in this investigation. Upon treating with electrolyzed reduced water for 2 minutes, about 70% Escherichia coli and 61% Bacillus cereus were controlled. When these two bacteria were exposed to electrolyzed reduced water for 30 minutes, about 89% Escherichia coli and 94% Bacillus cereus were controlled. About 55% Pseudomonas aeruginosa was also controlled upon treateing with electrolyzed reduced water for 2 minutes, and 65% Pseudomonas aeruginosa was controlled during 4 hour incubation. When Staphylococcus epidermidis was treated with electrolyzed reduced water for 4 hours, 73% of the bacterial growth was inhibited, while only 44% Staphylococcus aureus.subsp.aureus was controlled with electrolyzed reduced water for 4 hours.

We investigated the physicochemical and antioxidant activity characteristics of Yakju with different ratios (0, 5, 10, and 15%) of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) root powder in order to find out potential as a functional fermented rice alcohol. Yakju samples were measured to obtain total flavonoid content, total polyphenol content, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, and reducing power. Total flavonoid and polyphenol contents increased with increasing amounts of dandelion root. The DPPH radical scavenging activity increased with the addition of dandelion root. Also, the reducing power was higher in Yakju with dandelion root compared with controls such as gallic acid, butylated hydroxytoluene, and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. It is concluded that the Yakju fermented with additional dandelion root is functionally superior to the rice alcohol without dandelion root.

Redox signaling is one of way to regulate growth and death of cell in response to change of redox of proteins. To search whether translation is regulated by redox, we attempted in vitro translation assay under condition with or without DTT. Interestingly in vitro translation activity was increased up to 40% In the presence of dithiothreitol (DTT). Then we checked whether this positive effect by DTT was further accelerated by addition of thioredoxin (Trx). When a Trx purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was added to the in vitro translation extract, we observed a dose-dependent increase in translational activity. These results suggest the possibility of translation factors being redox-regulated via Trx in vivo.

Antioxidant activities of ethanol and water extracts of flesh, leaves, and peels of green and purple Kohlrabi were measured by rancimat method, total phenolic compound (TPC), DPPH radical scavenging effect, chelating effect, and reducing power analysis. The highest TPC was observed in ethanol extract from green peel and water extract from purple leaf with 12.00 and 11.70 mg/g of dry sample, respectively. The ethanol extracts from purple Kohlrabi leaf and peel exhibited strong DPPH radical scavenging effects with reducing power while water extracts from purple Kohlrabi leaf and peel also showed strong DPPH radical scavenging with chelating effects. Antioxidant index of ethanol and water extracts from green and purple Kohlrabi measured by rancimat was lower than butylated hydroxytoluene. These results suggest that extracts from purple Kohlrabi leaf and peel exhibited higher antioxidant activities than those of green Kohlrabi, and can be potentially used as proper natural antioxidants.
