  • Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) is a lipid carrier in mammals including humans that consists mainly of polar lipids, like phospholipids and glycolipids. In this study, a process to enrich polar lipids in commercial butter and whey powder, including polar lipids of MFGM, was developed. WPC (whey protein concentrate) 60 was selected as the most suitable raw material based on the yield, phospholipid, protein, and lactose content of the polar lipid fraction obtained by ethanol extraction of two WPC (WPC60 and WPC70) and two buttermilk (A and B). After fractionation under optimum conditions, the polar-lipid enriched fraction from WPC60 contained 38.56% phospholipids. The content of glycolipids, cerebroside, lactosylceramide, ganglioside GM3, ganglioside GD3, was 0.97%, 0.55%, 0.09%, and 0.14%, respectively. Rancimat results showed that the oxidation stability of fish oil increased with an increase in the polar-lipid fraction by more than 30 times. In addition, the secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α decreased in a concentration-dependent manner after treatment of RAW 264.7 cells with 0.1 to 100 ppm of the polar lipid fraction. In this study, polar lipid concentrates with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, were prepared from milk processing by-products. The MFGM polar lipid concentrates made from by-products are not only additives for infants, but are also likely to be used as antioxidants in cooking oils and as active ingredients for functional foods.

  • Lycii fructus is the fruit of Lycium chinense Miller and is part of the Solanaceae family. Lycii fructus produces various effects such as hypotensive, hypoglycemic, anti-pyretic, and anti-stress activities. Lycii fructus is known to contain betaine, carotene, nicotinic acid, zeaxanthin, and cerebroside. In the present study, the effects of Lycii fructus aqueous extract on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in murine raw 264.7 macrophage cells were investigated. In this study we utilized the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blotting, and nitric oxide (NO) detection. Lycii fructus aqueous extract suppressed NO production by inhibiting the LPS-induced expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-$\alpha$) mRNA and iNOS protein in murine raw 264.7 macrophage cells. Also, Lycii fructus aqueous extract suppressed the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-${\kappa}B$) in the nucleus. These results demonstrated that Lycii fructus aqueous extract causes an anti-inflammatory effect that was likely produced by the suppression of iNOS expression through the down-regulation of NF-$\hat{e}B$ binding activity.

  • Objectives : Termitomyces albuminosus (Berk.) Heim is one of the famous wild edible mushrooms in the southern part of China. It is known that Termitomyces albuminosus, like Aconitum koreanum used in Korean traditional medicine, contains a kind of cerebroside, termitomycesphin, causing a pharmacologic effect on the neuron system. The pharmacologic effect of Termitomyces albuminosus can be used to possibly replace Aconitum koreanum. However, It needs to be certified as safe before it can be used. Here, a single-oral toxicity test and safety classification was conducted to obtain acute information of the toxicity of dried-Termitomyces albuminosus powder and to secure its safety in clinical applications. Methods : In order to calculate approximate lethal dose(ALD), test substance was orally administered to male and female SD-rat at dose levels of 5,000 and 0 (vehicle control) mg/kg (body weight). Based on the result of this toxicity, also the estimation of safety classification was calculated using the HED-based (human equivalent dose) MOS (margin of safety). Results : There were no mortalities, test substances treatment-related clinical signs, no changes in the body or organ weights, and no gross or histopathological findings at 14 days after treatment with test substance. Thus, the approximate lethal dose of dried-Termitomyces albuminosus powder was considered over 5,000 mg/kg in both female and male mice. Conclusions : Based on the limit dose, 5000 mg/kg, it was estimated that dried-Termitomyces albuminosus powder is classified as "Specified class B" indicating that clinical dose is not limited to patients as safe as food.

  • To investigate changes in fatty acid and lipid composition of maturing perilla (Perilla frutescens var. japonica Hara) seeds, Suweon 10 and Jeju varieties were subjected to lipid analysis. The results were summarized as follows; As perilla seeds matured, content of glycolipid and phospholipid decreased. Glycolipid and phospholipid of mature seed were 25.4% and 4.5% of total lipids in Suweon 10 and those from Jeju were 44.5%, 4.0%, respectively. Cerebroside, galatosyl diglyceride and monogalatosyl diglyceride were major constitutents of ether-extractable glycolipids in developing perilla seeds. Monogalatosyl diglyceride, the richest constitutent in the early stage of seed development, decreased rapidly as seeds matured. In ether-extractable glycolipid of mature Suweon 10 seeds, content of linolenic acid was 51.1% which was higher than 19.4% of oleic acid of total acids. However, in Jeju variety, content of oleic acid was 31% which was higher than 18.6% of linolenic acid. Phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl glycerol and lysophosphatidyl inositol were major constituents of phospholipids. Content of phosphatidyl glycerol in developing seeds showed irregular changes in Jeju but in Suweon 10, it decreased after rapid increase in the early stage of seed development. Olieic acid ranges $28.7{\sim}35.2%$, linolenic acid $8.2{\sim}11.2%$, linoleic acid $16.4{\sim}32.5%$ and Palmitic acid $22.7{\sim}29.9%$ of total fatty acids in methanol-ertractible phospholipid of mature perilla seeds.

  • The compositional characteristics of polar lipids in the brown and polished adlay were studied. Total lipids of brown and polished adlay were extracted, purified and fractionated into neutral and polar lipids by silicic acid column chromatography. The glycolipid(GL) and phospholipid(PL) of polar lipids were seperated by thin layer chromatography and quantitated by scanner. The fatty acid composition in polar lipids were determined by gas chromatographr. The contents of GL and PL in brown adlay were 5.67% and 1.83%, and their contents on polished adlay were 5.49% and 1.78%, respectively. Of the GL in the brown and polished adlay, monogalactosyl diglycerides+esterified steryl glycosides and digalactosyl diglycerides were the major components, but cerebrosides+steryl glycosides were also found as the minor component of GLs. Of the PLs, phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine were the major components. Phosphatidyl inositol, lysophosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl serine were also present in the PLs. The major fatty acids of GLs were linoleic, oleic and palmitic acids. The fatty acid composition in the PLs were similar to the pattern in the GLs, but PLs contained the lower percentage of linoleic acids than the GLs.

  • Total lipids (TL) from Korean pinenut (Pinuskoraiensis S & Z) were extracted, purified and fractionated into three lipid classes (neutral lipid: NL, glycolipid; GL, phospholipid; PL). Lipid contents(constituent components) and fatty acid composition of three lipid classes were determined by thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography. TL ranged from 69.0% to 69.8% in fresh pinenut and consisted of 95.9% to 96.7% NL, 3.2% to2.5% GL and 0.9% to 0.8% PL. In the NL, triglycerides were predominant (80.8%) with the smaller amounts of sterol, diglycerides, free fatty acids, sterol esters and hydrocarbons. Monogalactosyl diglycerides and esterified steryl glycosides (23.5%) were the major components of GL, but cerebrosides, steryl glycosides and digalactosyl diglycerides were also found as minor components. Of the PL, phosphatidyl choline (40.2%) and phosphatidyl ethanolamine (19.4%) were the major components, comprising over 60% of this class. Phosphatidyl inositol, lysophosphatidyl choline were also present in the PL. The major fatty acids in the NL were linoleic acid (48.6%), oleic acid (28.8%) and arachidic acid(14.4%), The fatty acid composition in the GL was similar to the pattern in the NL, but PL contained a higher percentage of palmitic acid (17.7%) and stearic acid (6.0%) than other lipid classes.
