Fresh pine needles were collected and extracted with 95% methanol and the extract was concentrated to determine its antimicrobial activity. The methanol extract had a considerable inhibitory effect on the tested bacteria, such as Esherichia coli 0157;H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus. The methanol extract of pine needles was further fractionated to chloroform, ethylacetate, butanal, and water fractions. Among these four fractions, the butanol and water fractions, which showed a relatively strong inhibitory effect on all of the tested bacteria, were purified and the minimum ingibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for each microorganism. The MIC raged between 25 mg/ml and 45 mg/ml depending on the microorganism. the purified active fractions were applied to sterilized milk as a model food system to define the antimicrobial effectiveness and it was found that the antimicrobial activities in the water fractions were stronger than those in the butanol fractions.

산사에 함유되어 있는 생리활성 물질의 특성을 알아보고 70% methanol, 70% ethanol, chloroform:methanol(CM, 2:1, v/v), n-butanol 및 ethyl acetate(EA)의 5가지 용매를 사용하여 추출한 추출물의 용매별 항산화 활성 측정을 통하여 산사의 항산화 활성 및 천연 기능성 식품 재료로서의 가치를 검토하고자 본 실험을 수행하였다. 산사 과육의 total phenol 함량은 70% methanol, 70% ethanol, CM, EA, n-butanol 추출물 순으로 높게 나타났으며, 특히 70% methanol 및 70% ethanol 추출물은 각각 71.46 mg/g, 70.41 mg/g의 높은 함량을 보였다. Total flavonoid 함량은 CM(1.63 mg/g), n-butanol(1.59 mg/g), 70% methanol(1.26 mg/g), 70% ethanol(1.26 mg/g) 및 EA(1.12 mg/g) 순으로 높게 측정되었다. $NO_2$ radical 소거 활성은 total phenol 함량과 동일한 경향으로 나타났으며, ${\beta}$-carotene에서의 항산화 활성은 70% methanol, 70% ethanol, n-butanol, CM, EA 추출물, superoxide dismutase(SOD) 유사 활성은 70% methanol, 70% ethanol, CM, n-butanol, EA 추출물 순으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 대부분 70% methanol 및 70% ehtnaol 추출물에서 활성이 높게 측정되었으며, 이는 산사 속에 함유되어 있는 total phenol 및 flavonoid와 같은 항산화 성분 때문인 것으로 추정되며, 특히 total phenol에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 산사는 항산화제 및 기능성 식품 소재로 활용 가능성이 높을 것으로 사료된다.

Effects of root, stem and leaf extract of sancho (Zanthoxylum schinifolium) on the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in the hepatic microsome of rat, DPPH radical scavenging activity and activated partial thromboplastin times (APTT) were examined in vitro. The highest inhibition of hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation was observed by ethyl acetate fraction than that of methylene chloride fraction of the root and stem extracts. The high inhibition of lipid peroxidation was determined in the leaf, the root and the stem in order. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of ethyl acetate fraction was higher than that of n-butanol fraction and it was similar to the root and the steam extract. It was similar to the inhibition of hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in 2.500mg/mL of ethyl acetate fraction and it was 4.4 fold higher than that of $\alpha-tocopherol$, as an antioxidant standard. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was dependent on the extract concentration in the range of 0.125-5.000 mg/mL. The throm-boplastin times were higher than that of n-butanol fraction and it was similar to the root and the steam extracts. The leaf extract showed the highest antithrombogenic effect followed by the stem and then the root extract. The activated partial thromboplastin times were ependent on the extract concentration in the range of 0.100-2.000 mg/mL. Consequently, the effects of antioxidative, DPPH radical scavenging activity and antithrombogenic of Z. schinifolium was observed due to the inhibition of lipid peroxidation and the DPPH radical scavenging activity by methylene chloride, n-butanol and ethyl acetate fraction of the leaf extract.

본 연구는 가식부위가 20~30%로 과즙 착즙 시 주로 버려지고 있으나 석류의 부위별 추출물 중 가장 항산화성이 우수한 천연식품 소재인 석류 내피를 에탄올로 추출하여 천연항산화제로서의 활용 가능성을 조사하였다. 석류 내피 추출물을 극성이 낮은 용매에서 극성이 높은 용매로 순차적으로 계통 분획하여 항산화능을 분석하였다. 각 측정 방법 별로 항산화 활성에 있어 약간의 차이를 보였으나 전반적으로 ethyl acetate 분획의 항산화능이 높게 측정되었다. DPPH 라디칼 소거활성 측정 결과 ethyl acetate와 butanol 분획물에서 $IC_{50}$이 각각 2.40 ${\mu}g$/mL, 2.88 ${\mu}g$/mL로 기준 물질인 ascorbic acid와 유사한 항산화 활성을 나타내는 것으로 나타났다. Superoxide anion 소거활성에서 ethyl acetate과 butanol 분획물의 $IC_{50}$은 각각 58.94 ${\mu}g$/mL, 61.91 ${\mu}g$/mL로 기준물질인 tannin acid보다 항산화능이 우수하였다. $ABTS^+$ 소거활성에서 ethyl acetate와 butanol 분획물의 $IC_{50}$은 각각 39.26 ${\mu}g$/mL, 40.95 ${\mu}g$/mL로 나타났으며 환원력을 측정한 결과 ethyl acetate 분획물(0.1 mg/mL)의 흡광도가 1.404로 기준물질인 ascorbic acid보다 활성이 높게 측정되었다. SOD 유사활성과 아질산염 소거능에서는 유사한 결과를 나타냈는데 SOD 유사활성은 $42.88{\pm}0.66%$(dichloromethane), $15.43{\pm}0.85%$(butanol), $12.82{\pm}0.68%$(water)이었으며 아질산염 소거능에서 dichloromethane 분획물의 $IC_{50}$은 115.54 ${\mu}g$/mL로 기준물질인 ascorbic acid보다 높게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구결과 석류 내피 추출물은 높은 항산화 활성을 가지고 있으며, 폐자원으로써 버려지는 석류 내피는 식품첨가물 등의 기능성 소재로의 이용가능성이 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

Recently, the concern about safety and functional substances of foods are increased therefore antioxidant substances and plants which had pharmacological effect have been studied actively. It has been known that the mulberry leaf is effective in curing many diseases. Nowaday, the pharmachological effects of mulberry leaves on diabetes mellitus and their usage for many aspects were confirmed. Mulberry leaves are known for effective in prevention of diabetes mellitus, because of specific amino acids and fibers. In this study, methanol, hexane, chlorform, ethyl acetate, and butanol extracts obtained from mulberry leaves were added to soybean oil and they were stored for 30 days at $60{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and peroxide value(POV) and conjugated diene value(CDV) were measured periodically. Results of this study were obtained as follows; 1. The POV of soybean oil after the addition of each mulberry leaves powder(MLP) extracts generally enhanced as the storage time was prolonged, so the POV of all samples was reached higher than 100meq./kg.oil after 10 days storage without the addition of butanol, methanol, ethylacetate, hexane extracts at 0.1% level. Especially, the POV of soybean oils including butanol extract was 87.35meq/kg.oil after 10 days storage and antioxidant activity of butanol extract was shown to be superior to that of BHT. The pattern of the changes of the CDV of soybean oil after the addition of MLP extracts at 0.02%, 0.05% and 0.1%, respectively, were almost constant during 10 days of storage and then rapidly increased during the rest of experimental periods. During 10 days of storage in case of 0.1% adding level, the antioxidant activities of the butanol extract was superior to that of the each MLP extracts.
