This study was carried out to investigate the anti-oxidant effect of Wasabia japonica(WJ). The anti-oxidant activities of various extracts from WJ were investigated. The water and ethanol extracts of WJ leaf were found to cause significant free radical scavenging effects on DPPH and nitric oxide(NO). Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly assigned to one normal diet and three high cholesterol diet groups which contained 1%(w/w) cholesterol. After 4weeks cholesterol diet, the groups of high cholesterol diet were classified to control(normal diet only), WJR5(normal diet and 5% WJ root) and WJL5(normal diet and 5% WJ leaf). Liver xanthine oxidase(XO) activity in the rats of high cholesterol diet was decreased up to the levels of normal diet group according to WJ diet. The results indicated that WJ possesses antioxidant effects through free radical scavenging effects on DPPH, NO and the decreasing of XO activity. In view of these results, WJ is expected to be an effective material for the anti-oxidant.

Antioxidant activity of the extract fractions from leaves, stems, roots and flowers of Cirsium pendulum Fisch. was investigated. The results showed the greatest antioxidant activities in leaves by Rancimat, TBA and DPPH methods. Extracts of common thistle plants dose-dependently increased DPPH free radical scavenging activity, The extract from flowers and its hexane fraction showed the strongest antioxidant activity. HPLC analysis showed that BuOH fraction of the leaves had the highest amount of antioxidant chlorogenic and p-coumaric acids at 5.38 and 9.71 mg $100\;g^{-1}$, respectively. It implies that common thistle plants had potent antioxidant activity, and their activities were differently exhibited depending on plant part and solvent fraction.

Objectives This study was conducted to investigate the beta-glucan & ginsenoside content, antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory effect and safety of herbal medicine mix. Methods The marker compounds contents, antioxidant activity and safety of herbal medicine mix were tested. The contents of beta-glucan and ginsenoside Rg3 were measured, the antioxidant activity was measured using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity, anti-inflammatory and a safety test was conducted via single dose toxicity assessment. Results Analyzing the contents of marker compounds showed 362.3 mg/g of beta-glucan, and 0.4184 mg/g of ginsenoside Rg3. In the DPPH free radical scavenging activity, the IC50 of herbal medicine mix, was 0.146%. The scavenging activity of herbal medicine mix was 88.28% activity at 0.5% concentration, and 90.61% activity at 5% concentration. In the lipopolysaccharides (LPS) anti-inflammatory test, the herbal remix showed a significant decrease in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-𝛼) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) compared to the LPS-induced group. In the single dose toxicity test of herbal medicine mix, a dose of 2,000 mg/kg body weight (BW) was set at its highest capacity and observed after oral administration to female and male rats. No toxicological findings were recognized. It was observed that the resulting lethal dose can be set to 2,000 mg/kg BW or higher for both females and males. Conclusions The results of the experiment on herbal medicine mix showed that the marker compounds contents were beta-glucan and ginsenoside Rg3, that antioxidant activity was observed through the DPPH free radical scavenging activity, anti-inflammatory effect was observed through TNF-𝛼 and IL-6 measurement, and safety was confirmed through the single dose toxicity assessment.

The flowers of Chrysanthemum morifolium (Compositae) were investigated for their biofunctional components. Antioxidant compounds were identified from the flower of Chrysanthemum morifolium, through activity-guided fractionation and repeated column chromatographic separations. The structures of the isolated compounds were characterized as chlorogenic acid (1), luteolin (2) and quercitrin (3) by the analysis of physico-chemical and spectral data. Their antioxidant effects were evaluated by assaying for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging activity and inhibition of xanthine/xanthine oxidase activity.

To further the goal of isolating Bacillus sp. from commercial chungkukjang (CKJ) for a development of a probiotic dietary adjunct using soymilk or milk, antioxidant activity of CKJ purchased from the Sunchang Traditional Village in Chunbook province was examined. Six CKJ samples were evaluated and 3 were selected based on the results of the physicochemical analysis and sensory evaluation for further antioxidant study. $IC_{50}$ for DPPH scavenging activity of methanol extracts of CKJ ranged from 238.1 to 345.7 ${\mu}g/mL$. CKJ exhibited over 80% scavenging of ${\cdot}OH$ and ONOO- at concentrations of 100 ${\mu}g/mL$ and 250 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively. $O_2^-$ and NO scavenging activities of three CKJ were increased in a dose dependent manner with the concentration tested from 100 to 1000 ${\mu}g/mL$. In this study, the methanol extract of CKJ exhibited a great reduction capability and powerful free radical scavenging activity, especially against OH. and ONOO-, which are the most toxic radicals responsible for oxidative damage in the body. However, radical scavenging effects of CKJ on DPPH, $O_2^-$, and nitrite radical were rather moderate. In conclusion, CKJ may reduce the oxidative stress in the body by scavenging the free radicals.

It has been known that diseases related with aging or cancer result, at least in part, from free radicals, and antioxidants may reduce or prevent the abnormalities associated with free radical formation via its scavenging action. Thus, this study was carried out to investigate the antioxidative and antimicrobial activities of nut species for the purpose of developing antioxidant from natural products. Antioxidant activities of four kinds of nuts such as chestnut, groundnut, walnut and acorn were examined by measuring the radical scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. The extracts from chestnut hull and acorn barnyard millet showed strong antioxidative activities among 10 samples tested. Because of their highest antioxidative activity among 10 samples, radical scavenging effects of 4 different extract compartments (Hexane, EtOAc, BuOH and $H_2O$ extracts) from chestnut hull and acorn barnyard millet, were further examined by DPPH method. EtOAc and BuOH extracts exhibited antioxidative activities similar to those of natural, tocopherol or synthetic antioxidants, BHA. These findings demonstrates that major fraction of the antioxidative activity of chestnut hull or acorn barnyard millet was the EtOAc and BuOH extract compartments. However, antimicrobial activities against food-related bacteria and yeasts was relatively weak.

This study aimed to determine the effect of extraction temperature and time on the antioxidant activity of hot water extract from Panax ginseng sprout powder and to evaluate the suitability of this extract for use in dairy products. Water-soluble fractions of commercial Panax ginseng sprout powder were obtained by hot water extraction at 25, 60, or 80℃ for 0.5, 2, 12, or 24 h. The antioxidant activity of each extract was evaluated by measuring its free radical scavenging activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS). DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity increased with extraction temperature from 25 to 80℃. At 80℃, increasing the extraction time from 0.5 to 2 h led to increases in DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity. Thus, the extract obtained under 2 h at 80℃ was selected for addition to milk and yogurt. After 16 days of storage, there were no significant changes in the pH of the milk or the antioxidant activity of the extract. With regard to yogurt fermentation, adding the extract did not affect the pH or the number of viable lactic acid bacteria. In conclusion, hot water extract from Panax ginseng sprout powder can be added to dairy products to enhance antioxidant activity.

싸리버섯 메탄올 추출물의 항산화 효능을 DPPH법에 의한 free radical 소거작용능 및 $B({\alpha})P$로 간 독성이 유발된 마우스에서 항산화 효소, 글루타치온 및 과산화지질 함량 변화에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 먼저 싸리버섯 메탄올 추출물의 항산화능을 DPPH radical 소거 작용법으로 시험한 결과 싸리버섯 추출물은 강한 자유라디칼 소거 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 $B({\alpha})P$투여로 인한 간 조직중의 SOD, catalase 그리고 GSH-Px의 활성은 유의적으로 증가되었다가, 싸리버섯 메탄올 추출물의 전 처리로 이들 활성이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 반면, GST 활성과 간 조직중의 글루타치온 함량은 $B({\alpha})P$ 단독군에서는 감소되었다가 싸리버섯 메탄올 추출물 투여시 유의적인 증가를 보였다. 그러나 지질과산화물 함량은 $B({\alpha})P$ 투여시 증가되었다가 싸리버섯 메탄올 추출물의 투여시 유의적으로 감소되었다. 이상의 결과로 싸리버섯 메탄올 추출물은 항산화계 효소의 활성 증가로 인한 $B({\alpha})P$에 의한 간 손상에 대한 보호효과를 가지는 것으로 사료된다.
