  • Chronic joint pain due to loss of cartilage function, degradation of subchondral bone, and related conditions are common plights of an arthritis patient. Antioxidant compounds could solve the problems in arthritic condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-arthritic activity of D-carvone against complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced arthritis in rats. D-carvone was orally administered for 25 days at the doses of 30 and 60 mg/kg against CFA-induced arthritic rats. Changes in body weight, paw swelling, organ index, hematological parameters, oxidative stress markers, inflammatory cytokines, and histopathology were recorded. Oral treatment of D-carvone significantly improved the body weight, reduced the paw swelling, edema formation, and organ index in arthritic rats. The levels of white blood cells were reduced, red blood cells and hemoglobin levels were improved in D-carvone treated arthritic rats. Lipid peroxidation levels were lowered whereas enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants were significantly elevated by D-carvone administration against arthritic rats. D-carvone significantly modulated inflammatory cytokine levels and improved the ankle joint pathology against CFA-induced arthritic inflammation. In conclusion, D-carvone proved significant anti-arthritic activity against CFA-induced arthritis in rats.

  • The chemical composition of essential oils obtained from aerial parts in spearmint, apple mint and chocolate mint, was investigated by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analyses. (-)-Carvone (33.0%) was quantitatively major compound in spearmint, followed by R-(+)-limonene (11.7%) and ${\beta}$-phellandrene (9.7%); (-)-carvone (37.4%) and germacrene D (11.9%) in apple mint; and (-)-menthol (34.3%), p-menthone (18.4%) and menthofuran (9.8%) in chocolate mint. Hierarchical cluster analysis and principle components analysis showed the clear difference in chemical composition of the three mint oils.

  • The present study aimed to evaluate the phytotoxic potential of essential oils. For this purpose, 18 essential oil samples extracted from Korean plants and 64 commercial essential oils were screened for their phytotoxic potential against the seedling growth of Brassica napus L. (rapeseed). Among the 82 samples, 11 commercial oils (cinnamon, citronella, clove, cumin seed, geranium, jasmine, lemongrass, palmarosa, pimento, rose otto and spearmint) strongly inhibited the seedling growth with $GR_{50}$ value < $150{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. Major components from these effective essential oils were identified by solid phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME/GC-MS). GC-MS analyses revealed that the effective samples mainly consist of benzyl benzoate, carvone, citral, citronellol, eugenol, geraniol, D-limonene and terpinene. Subsequently, bioactivity of these individual components was evaluated against the seedling growth of B. napus, Echinochloa crus-galli and Aeschynomene indica. The components from different chemical groups exhibited different potency in inhibiting the seedling growth with varied $GR_{50}$ values ranged from $29{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ to > $1000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. In the greenhouse experiment, citral and geraniol completely suppressed the growth of all the tested 10 plants at $100kg\;ha^{-1}$. In conclusion, the individual essential oil components geraniol and citral could be used as natural herbicides for weed management.

  • 본 연구에서는 원료 첨가(오가피, 영지버섯, 솔잎 및 홍삼)를 달리하여 오가피주를 제조하여 영양성분 및 휘발성 향기성분을 분석하였고 기타 주류의 품질요인에 관여하는 요인들을 평가하고 관능검사를 수행함으로서, 제조한 오가피주의 다양한 품질 평가를 수행하여 민속주로의 개발 가능성을 평가하였다. 주정도는 오가피 및 기타의 기능성 소재의 함량을 달리한 4가지 시료에서 각각 14.5-15.3%로 큰 차이를 볼 수는 없었다. 총 유기산 함량은 오가피주가 일반 약주 보다 훨씬 많은 양이 검출되었으며 반면 오가피 및 기타 기능성 소재를 첨가한 시료에서 citric acid와 tartaric acid는 오히려 약간 양이 감소한 것으로 보여졌다. 오가피주의 유리아미노산 함량은 histidine이 가장 많았으며, 총 유리아미노산 및 유리당 함량은 시료 C에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 시료 A 및 B에서는 총 49종의 휘발성 향기성분이 동정되었고 시료 C와 D에서는 각각 48 및 31종의 성분이 동정되었다. 무첨가군인 시료 D의 경우 alcohol류의 함량이 다른 군에 비해 높게 보여졌으며 ethanol의 함량이 79.59%로, iso-butyl alcohol이 0.35%로 다른 군에 비해 높게 보여졌다. 오가피, 영지버섯, 솔잎 및 홍삼이 함유된 시료 A, B, 및 C에서는 다양한 종류의 테르펜 화합물이 확인되었다. 이는 주류 고유의 향기성분 외에 첨가된 오가피, 영지버섯, 솔잎 및 홍삼에 의해 더욱 다양한 향기성분이 나타난 것으로 생각되는데, 특히 ${\alpha}-copaene$의 함량이 시료 D에서보다 A, B 및 C에서 2배 이상 높게 다량 확인되었다. GC-O를 이용하여 향기성분을 관능적으로 동정한 결과 기능성 소재의 배합 비율에 따라 소비자가 느끼는 관능적 특성은 상당히 유동적으로 변할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 오가피 함량이 높은 술일수록 명도가 높아 밝고 황색도가 낮아지는 경향을 볼 수 있었고, 오가피를 0.1%첨가한 오가피주가 좋은 맛과 감칠맛에서 유의적으로 높은 것으로 평가되었다.
