  • The antioxidative and antimicrobial properties of the solvent extracts of 3 parts (leaf, stem, root) of Crotalaria sessiflora L. were investigated, in order to find out new natural food additives. The antioxidative activities of the extracts were determined by peroxide value (POV) and the conjugated diene value (CDV) of corn oil stored for 30 days at $60\pm2^{\circ}C$. Each part of the extracts were added as $0.02,\;0.05\%$ and then compared with BHT. The anti oxidative activities were as follows in decreasing order: BHT > LeafEX > StemEX > RootEX > control. The induction period showed that the part of the Crotalaria sessifloria L. group added with solvent extract showed a longer induction period compared with the control group. The part of Crotalaria sessiflora L. solvent extract were shown to have antimicrobial effects on the microorganism such as Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Enteritidis, Pseudomonas flrourescens and Escherichia coli. Especially the effect on the Pseudomonas flrourescens was remarkable.

  • This study was carried to develop the new functional food material by exploring natural antioxidant substances of Crotalaria sessiflora L. We compared antioxidative activity of potential antioxidant substances extracted from Crotalaria sessiflora L. The order of extract yield of Crotalaria sessiflora L. were stem > loaves > seed > root. Antioxidative activities of Crotalaria sessiflora L. were measured by total polyphenol contents EDA (electron donating activity), SOD (superoxide dismutase) -like activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging ability and hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging ability. Total polyphenol acid content was much higher in leaves Ex than other extracts. And leaves Ex showed the most excellent antioxidative activity ($86.27\%$) in terms of SOD-like activity. The EDA was ordered loaves Ex > stem Ex > seed Ex > root Ex. Hydroxy radical scavenging ability was the most effective in loaves Ex, and hydorogen Peroxide radical scavenging ability was the highest in seed Ex. Therefore we could be certain that leaves Ex was the most effective in antioxidative activity from Crotalaria sessiflora L.

  • Antioxidative activities of ethanol extracts of seed, branch, leaves, and aerial part of Crotalaria sessiflora L. were compared using in vitro experimental model. Solid contents of each extracts were 12.68, 16.28, 13.04, and 18.59 g/ 100 mL, and phenolic acid contents were $0.082{\pm}0.003,\;0.099{\pm}0.010,\;0.071{\pm}0.002,\;and\;0.094{\pm}0.011\;mg/mL$ in branch, aerial part, seed, and leaves, respectively. Extracts prepared from leaves showed highest electron-donating ability toward DPPH. SOD-liked activities were 78.95, 70.85, 74.65, and 87.49% in aerial part, branch, seed, an leaves respectively. Extracts prepared from leaves showed 59.39% inhibitory effect on peroxidation of egg yolk lecithin.

Effects of Presown Cold Stratification, $GA_3,\;KNO_3$ and Acetone Treatment on Germination of Crotalaria sessiflora L. (저온, $GA_3,\;KNO_3$ 및 Acetone 처리가 활나물 종자발아에 미치는 영향)

  • Crotalaria sessiflora is one of a few medicinal herbs among the legumes used as antitumor herb medicine but has lower seed germination and afterward seedling emergence. This study was carried out to elucidate the effects of cold stratification as presown treatment as well as $GA_3$, $KNO_3$ and acetone on its seed germination and seedling emergence. Cold stratification, $GA_3$, $KNO_3$ and acetone treatments were performed with different concentrations and period levels. Cold treatment was done under 14 hour red light illumination a day or darkness and the two others under darkness. On the basis of the best germination rate of each treatment, $GA_3$ and cold stratification treatments showed the highest germination rates at 0.1 mM but 12 hours and 2 week periods under darkness, respectively. $KNO_3$ and acetone treatments came out at 400 mM and 200 mM lasted for, respectively. The best germination rates from $KNO_3$ and acetone were comparatively higher than those from the former $GA_3$ and cold treatments. In evaluation of seedling emergence using the last two treatments, $KNO_3$ treated seeds were better performed than acetone treated seeds showed somewhat higher germination rate, implying that presown seed treatments must be evaluated by the combination with indoor and field tests.
