This study evaluated the quality characteristics of jelly prepared with different levels (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) of wild carrot (WC, Daucus carota L.) juice as a care food for the elderly. The lightness, redness, yellowness, and delta (${\Delta}$) values of the jelly (Control, WCJ5, WCJ10, WCJ15, WCJ20, and WCJ25) decreased with increasing amounts of wild carrot juice added. The mechanical properties, such as hardness, springiness, chewiness, and gumminess, of the jelly were decreased with increasing amounts of wild carrot juice added. The total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents of the jelly increased with increasing amounts of wild carrot juice added. The DPPH radical scavenging activity ($IC_{50}$) also increased with increasing amounts of wild carrot juice added. The ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory effects of wild carrot (WC) and WCJ25 were 71% and 54.4%, respectively, compared to the positive control (acarbose). The lipase inhibitory effects of WC and WCJ25 were 44.2% and 14.4%, respectively, compared to the positive control group (orlistat). On the other hand, the sensory evaluation score was the best at WCJ20, which contained 20% wild carrot juice. In conclusion, WCJ20 or WCJ25 is expected to be a care food for the elderly with respect to texture as well as the antioxidant and enzymatic activity (${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory and lipase inhibitory activities).

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of extract and its fraction of Daucus carota var. sativa flower were studied in vitro. Extract and ethyl acetate fraction, butanol fraction of carrot flower showed radical scavenging effects on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). We also investigated the effect of extract and ethyl acetate fraction, butanol fraction of carrot flower on NO production in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Extract and its fraction of carrot flower significantly inhibited NO production and this inhibitory action was not due to the cytotoxicity. This study suggests that extract and ethyl acetate fraction, butanol fraction of Daucus carota var. sativa flower could contribute to the chemoprevention and therapy of oxidative stress and inflammation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of black carrot (Daucus carota L.) on the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of pork patties. Patties were provided with different amounts (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8%) of black carrot. Notably, the cooking loss rate of the group added with 8% black carrot was lowest (p<0.001). As the content of black carrot increased, the L value decreased and the a, b value increased. The texture analysis results showed that the hardness and chewiness to decrease as the amount of black carrot increased (p<0.05). Evaluation of consumer acceptability revealed that the 4% black carrot groups had a higher score in respect to overall preference and taste to the other groups (p<0.05). For antioxidant activities, both total phenolic compounds content and DPPH were increased (p<0.001) as the amount of added black carrot was increased. As a result, it can be concluded that adding the black carrot to patties in processing can improve antioxidant activities and quality of the patties. Considering various aspects of quality, the suitable amount is 4% of total weight.

Objectives : In Traditional Korean medicine, Daucus carota L. has been used for treating dyspepsia, diarrhea, dysentery and cough. Recent pharmacognosic evidence showed D. carota has anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-fungal, and hypotensive effects. Present study investigated hepato-protective effect of D. carota ethanol extract (DCE) against oxidative stress in HepG2 cells. Methods : After HepG2 cells were pretreated with different concentrations of DCE, the cells were exposed to tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) for inducing oxidative stress. Cell viability, hydrogen peroxide production, glutathione concentration, and mitochondrial membrane potentials were measured to explore hepato-protective effect of DCE. Phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and effect of compound C on cell viability were determined to investigate the role of AMPK on DCE-mediated cytoprotection. Results : DCE significantly decreased the tBHP-mediated cytotoxicity in a concentration dependent manner and reduced the changes on apoptosis-related proteins by tBHP in HepG2 cells. In addition, DCE significantly prevented hydrogen peroxide production, glutathione depletion, and mitochondrial membrane impairment induced by tBHP. Treatment with DCE increased phosphorylation of AMPK, and the DCE-mediated cytoprotection was abolished by pretreatment with compound C. Conclusions : These results demonstrate that DCE can protect hepatocytes from oxidative stress through activation of AMPK.

The effects of nutrients and cell aggregate size on the cell growth of D. carota and the biosynthesi of carotenoid were investigated. Highest carotenoid content was obtained with sucrose as a carbon source and the equal ratio of ammonium to nitrate. High phosphate concentration stimulated the carotenoid biosynthesis in D. corota. 2,4-D inhibited the cell growth but stimulated the specific carotenoid content at high concentration. By modifying the medium composition based on these findings, three times higher specific carotenoid content and 2.5 times higher total carotenoid content were obtained as compared with the results obtained with basic MS media. Biosynthesis of carotenoid was found to be affected by cell aggregate size; high carotenoid production was obtained from the large aggregated cells resulted from high sucrose concentration.

본 연구는 세포막의 유동성이 막의 항상성(homeostasis)을 유지하는 가장 기본적이며 중요한 성질이라는 점을 감안하여, 용매별로 분획한 식품의 추출물을 첨가함으로써 인지질 이중층(liposome)의 물리.화학적 성질에 미치는 막 유동성(membrane fluidity)의 변화를 열시차 열량 분석법(differential scanning calorimeter, DSC)에 의해 측정하였다. 즉 식탁의 애용식품인 당근의 용매별 분획물이 인지질 liposome에 미치는 막의 유동성에 미치는 증가효과를 본 결과, DPPC liposome에 당근의 용매별 분획물을 첨가했을 때, 일반적으로 첨가하지 않은 경우보다 첨가 농도의 증가에 따라 의존적으로 초기 상전이온도가 낮아졌고 흡열고선의 모양이 넓어졌으며 그로 인하여 협동단위($\Delta$$H_{VH}$ $\Delta$H㎈)값이 감소됨을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 현상은 일정농도의 당근분획물의 첨가가 DPPC liposome의 막유동성을 증가시킨 결과로 생각되어진다. 그리고 각 용매별 당근분획물의 유동성효과를 각각 비교해본 결과, DCSMH와 DCSMEA의 분획물첨가가 DCSMB와 DCSMA에 비해 DPPC liposome의 초기 상전이온도 및 협동단위를 더욱더 감소시켜 막유동성에 더 많은 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 현상은 DCSMH와 DCSMEA의 분획물이 DCSMB와 DCSMA분획물의 경우보다 hydrophobicity가 더 크므로 인해 DPPC 인지질막 이중층의 acylchain쪽으로 더 깊숙히 용해하여 침투되므로서 생긴 현상이라 하겠다. 즉 당근분획물의 막유동성 증가작용은 세포막에서 일어나는 대사물, 약물, 이온 등의 운반 및 영양물의 교환, 흡수 등 생체막의 주요기능에 영향을 미치는 효과가 있는 것으로 사료되며, 앞으로 막유동성을 증가시키는 구체적 생리활성물질의 추구가 기대되어진다.

Objectives : Daucus carota sativa has been frequently used as food supplements in many of the Asian countries, and a nutritional medical drug in traditional medicine. This research investigated the effects of Daucus carota sativa extract (DCE) on acute phases of inflammation in Raw 264.7 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in terms of the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) and pro-inflammatory cytokines production. Methods : NO, $PGE_2$, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, interleukin-$1{\beta}$ and interleukin-6 contents were assayed by ELISA, and expressions of inflammation-related proteins such as inducible NO synthase (iNOS) were determined by immunoblot analyses. Results : DCE treatment attenuated the LPS ability to increase the productions of NO and $PGE_2$ as well as the protein level of iNOS in a concentration-dependent manner. Consistently, treatment of the cells with DCE suppressed the production of TNF-${\alpha}$, interleukin-$1{\beta}$ and interleukin-6. DCE also caused decreases of inhibitor of ${\kappa}B{\alpha}$ phosphorylation induced by LPS in the cells, which means DCE inhibition of NF-${\kappa}B$ activity. Furthermore, DCE blocked LPS-induced phosphorylation of p38 and SAPK/JNK. Conclusion : This study showing here may be of help to understand the action mechanism of DCE, and provide the information for the medical use of Daucus carota sativa for the inflammatory disease.

Control culture에서 embryo 생성률이 6개월 동안 1000embryos/ml에서 500embryo/ml로 감소되었다. 이러한 현상을 극복하기 위한 방법으로 embryo 배양액에서 추출된 세포외 물질의 첨가는 embryo 생생률을 control culture와 비 교 하여 최 대 (2500embryos/ml)까지 증가시켰다. 또한 세포외 단백질이 embryo 수율 향상에 기인하는 것으로 추측된다.

Background: In this study, we used Daucus carota oil extract (DCOE) to target acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. All the AML cell lines tested were sensitive to the extract while peripheral mononuclear cells were not. Analysis of mechanism of cell death showed an increase in cells positive for annexinV and for active caspases, indicating that DCOE induces apoptotic cell death in AML. Inhibition of the MAPK pathway decreased sensitivity of AML cells to DCOE, indicating that cytotoxicity may be dependent on its activity. In conclusion, DCOE induces selective apoptosis in AML cells, possibly through a MAPK-dependent mechanism.
