Thise study aimed to determine the optimum antioxidant extraction conditions of dried Gugija (Lycium chinensis Mill). To determine the operational parameters, including ethanol concentration ($X_1$, 0~80%) and extraction time ($X_2$, 1~5 hr), a response surface methodology was applied to monitor brown color intensity, total phenolic compounds, ABTS radical scavenging activity, and $Fe^{2+}$ chelating activity. Coefficients of determinations ($R^2$) of the models were 0.8486~0.9214 (p<0.05~0.1) in dependent parameters. Brown color intensity of Gugija extracts reached a maximum of 0.75 (OD in 420 nm) under extraction conditions of 2.88 hr in 78.10% ethanol. Total phenolic compounds reached a maximum of $2,355{\mu}g$ under extraction conditions of 4.94 hr in 30.17% ethanol. ABTS radical scavenging activity was 13.83% at 4.61 hr and 16.21% ethanol. $Fe^{2+}$ chelating activity showed a maximum of 58.54% under extraction conditions of 3.39 hr in 0.76% ethanol. Optimum extraction conditions (5 hr extraction in 15% ethanol) were obtained by superimposing the contour maps with regards to total phenolic compounds, ABTS radical scavenging activity, and $Fe^{2+}$ chelating activity of dried Gugija. Maximum values of total phenolic compounds, ABTS radical scavenging activity, and $Fe^{2+}$ chelating activity under optimum extraction condition were $2,397{\mu}g$, 15.62% and 54.78%, respectively.

Various factors affecting the supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of daidzein from soybean were studied. Daidzein was not extracted with pure supercritical carbon dioxide. The ethanol was an efficient modifier for supercritical carbon dioxide to extract daidzein. The extraction efficiency increased as the pressure increased up to 300 bar. At $35^{\circ}C$ and 300 bar, 93% of daidzein was extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide modified with 15% of ethanol.

The selection of a suitable solvent is very important when preparing an extract. However, the effect of ethanol solvent concentration in the extraction of sweet wormwood tea has not been reported. Thus, extracts were prepared from sweet wormwood tea using water and various ethanol concentrations, and the phenolic compounds, antioxidants and anti-enzyme activities of the extracts were analyzed. The phenolic acid and flavonoid components differed according to extraction solvent, which also resulted in different antioxidant and antienzyme activities. In particular, flavonoid rhamnetin was not extracted using 80% and 99.5% ethanol and was highest when 60% ethanol was used for extraction. In the case of chlorogenic acid, the highest extraction efficiency was obtained with 80% ethanol. These results suggest the need for research to increase specific extraction efficiency by targeting major compounds that affect physiological activity.

Dangyuja (Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr.) is a native fruit of great economic importance in Jeju island in Korea. To provide experimental evidence for the antioxidant and anti-inflammation properties on extraction ethanol concentration of Dangyuja, 2 cultivars, including 30-year-old and 120-year-old were evaluated. 30-year-old Dangyuja 50%, 70% ethanol extracts had the highest polyphenol and flavonoid content, and the strongest 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity. To investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of Dangyuja ethanol extracts, we used BV-2 microglia cells and induced inflammation using lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Then, we measured levels of inflammatory mediators as nitric oxide (NO). Among the 6 extracts, 30-year-old Dangyuja 50% ethanol extracts show the highest anti-inflammatory activity. The results suggest that 30-year-old Dangyuja 50% ethanol extracts provides significant health benefits and may be used for developing new functional materials.

The extraction characteristics of lipids from powdered sea mustard have been investigated by the use of supercritical carbon dioxide($SC-CO_2$) and cosolvents. The extraction rate was increased as the particle size of the sea mustard is smaller, the pressure is higher, the temperature is lower, and the quantities of the fluid is more. However, the extraction yield of lipids from sea mustard was almost constant at a given condition. The optimum extraction condition was determined with the extraction yield of $1.45wt\%$ at 300um of particle size, 313K of $SC-CO_2$ temperature, 13.8MPa of pressure, and 30L/min of flow rate. Ethanol was the most efficient cosolvent among ethanol, methanol, and hexane. The extraction yield was increased at about 2.21times by the addition of ethanol as a cosolvent to $SC-CO_2$. As the residence time and the average concentration of lipids were decreased, the mass transfer parameter($k_fa$) was increased. But the opposite result was obtained when the ethanol was used as cosolvent.

This study was designed to investigate the role of onion as a natural antioxidant. Onion was distinguished as yellow onion peel and onion flesh. Onion samples were extracted with 5 different kinds of solvents such as water, 70% ethanol, 99.9%ethanol, 99.9% methanol, and 96% butanol in order to select optimal extraction solvents, In this part of study linoleic acid was used s an model system for the purpose of determining the antioxidant activities. The optimal extraction rate of various solvents containing onion samples was determined by measuring extraction yield, electron donating ability(EDA), thiobarbituric acid(TBA), and thiocyanate, which are common methods for measuring activity. As a result 70% ethanol was shown as the most effective solvent.

The quality of concentrated red ginseng extract, which was prepared from Korean red ginseng tails, was studied with respect to the changes in the ethanol concentration in the range of 0-90% and temperature of 70-10$0^{\circ}C$ during 1-5 times of extraction. Each extraction time was taken 8 hours at given temperature. The ratio of free sugars to total sugar changed significantly with the number of extraction and ethanol concentrations. An increase in reducing sugar and free sugars and a decrease in extracted soluble starch were fond as ethanol concentration increased. Extraction temperature was found little effect on extractability of sugars and their ratios. Analysis of free sugars in red ginseng extract identified 6 frdd sugars such as rhamnose, xylose, fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose, including sucrose to be major.

This study was conducted to monitor the quality characteristics of Lespedeza cuneata ethanolic extracts, by a response surface methodology. The independent variables were the extraction temperature ($35{\sim}95^{\circ}C}$), extraction time (2~10 hr), and ethanol concentration (10~90%). The coefficients of the determinations (R2) were 0.8562 (p<0.1), 0.9787 (p<0.01), and 0.8344 (p<0.1) in total polyphenol, total flavonoid, and electron donating ability, respectively. The electron donating ability and nitrite scavenging effect were improved with an increase of ethanol concentration, rather than the extraction temperature. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) with extraction conditions was 1,636.47~2,696.99 ${\mu}moles$ TE/g, and was increased with the increase of extraction temperature and 40~60% of ethanol concentration. Estimated conditions for the maximized extraction including the yield, total polyphenol, electron donating ability, nitrite scavenging effect, and ORAC, were $60{\sim}68^{\circ}C$ in extraction temperature, 6~7 hr in extraction time, and 38~60% in ethanol concentration.
