  • Consumption of fruits and vegetables has been conducted to be effective in the prevention of chronic diseases. In this study, 70% methanol, 70% ethanol and chloroform-methanol mixture (CM, 2:1, v/v) were used as solvents in the extraction of apple peels. The total phenol content, total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity of various extracts were investigated using in vitro assays. The extract obtained by 70% methanol showed the highest total phenol content ($20.87{\pm}0.17mgCAE/g$), ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt] radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power. However, 70% ethanol extract possessed the strongest antioxidant activity assayed by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity and ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching method. And CM extract was found to show the highest total flavonoid content with the value of $9.26{\pm}0.06mgQE/g$. These results indicated that apple peels can be used in dietary applications with a potential to reduce oxidative stress.

  • We evaluated total phenolics and antioxidative activities of water extracts from different parts of Cudrania tricuspidata (specifically, the leaves, stems, roots, and fruits). The antioxidative activities of these samples were determined using five methods, including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging, reducing power, ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), and $\beta$-carotene/linoleic acid system. The water extract of leaves exhibited the higher DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging activities, reducing power, and FRAP than water extract of stem, roots, and fruits. Inhibition values on linoleic oxidation of water extracts from leaves, stems, roots, and fruits were calculated as 45.98%, 33.03%, 39.73%, and 25.48% at 10 mg/mL, respectively. The water extract of C. tricuspidata leaves had the highest amount of toal phenolics (73.60$\pm$0.28 mg/g). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed that quercetin is the predominant phenolic compound in water extract of leaves. Thus, our study verified that the water extract of leaves has strong antioxidant activities which are correlated with its high level of phenolic compounds, particularly quercetin. This water extract of C. tricuspidata leaves can be used as an effective and safe source of antioxidants.

  • This study investigates the antioxidant and anti-adipogeneic effects of fermented Rhus verniciflua., evaluating the total phenol, total flavonoids contents and antioxidant activity of the fermented Rhus verniciflua as well as assessing the lipid accumulation during adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 cells. Our results demonstrate that the total phenolic and flavonoids contents of fermented Rhus verniciflua were $29.2{\pm}0.12$ GAE mg/g and $20.4{\pm}1.52$ RE mg/g, respectively. The antioxidative activities of fermented Rhus verniciflua were significantly increased in a dose dependent manner on DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging, ABTS(2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt) radical scavenging, FRAP(ferric reducing antioxidant power)activity, reducing power. In addition, the fermented Rhus verniciflua did not show any cytotoxicity up to 300 ug/mL. However, the anti-adipogenic effect of fermented Rhus verniciflua extract was barely detectable.

  • The objective of this study was to investigate the antioxidative acitivities of various solvent extracts from haw (Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge) pulpy. The Freeze-dried pulpy of haw was extracted with five solvents (70% methanol, 70% ethanol, chloroform:methanol (CM, 2:1, v/v), n-butanol, and ethyl acetate or EA), and the DPPH, reducing power, ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), ABTS, NO, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity were then measured. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the 70% methanol and 70% ethanol extracts were 92.89% and 91.17% in the 0.8 mg/mL concentrations, respectively, which were higher than those of the other extracts. The reducing power and FRAP decreased in the following order: 70% methanol, 70% ethanol, n-butanol, EA, and CM extracts. The ABTS radical scavenging activity was high in the 70% methanol and 70% ethanol extracts and low in the n-butanol extract. The NO radical scavenging activity was high in the 70% methanol and 70% ethanol extracts but low in the CM extracts. On the other hand, the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity was high in the n-butanol and 70% methanol extracts but low in the EA extract. These results suggest that the 70% methanol and 70% ethanol extracts from haw will be useful as natural antioxidant and biohealth foods.

  • Total phenolics and antioxidant properties of various Korean commercial vinegars (apple vinegar, AV; blueberry vinegar, BV; grape vinegar, GV; lemon vinegar, LV; Opuntia ficus vinegar, OFV; persimmon vinegar, PV; Prunus mume vinegar, PMV; rice vinegar, RV) were investigated. The total phenolic contents of 8 vinegars were within the range of 54.18-491.02${\mu}g/mL$. The vinegars were also capable of scavenging 1,1-dipehnyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radicals in a manner dependent on concentration. The greatest reducing power was observed in PV relative to the other vinegars. The ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) of PV, PMV, GV, and BV were 1.012, 0.969, 0.931, and 0.856 at a dose of 1 mL, respectively. Therefore, our study verified that the GV, PV, and PMV have powerful antioxidant activities which are correlated with its high level of phenolics, particularly gallic acid, and epigallocatechin.

  • To assess South Korean commercial tomato cultivars, regular and cherry tomato cultivars were grown in the greenhouse and evaluated for color attributes, titratable acidity, pH, total soluble solids, carotenoids (lycopene and ${\beta}$-carotene), total phenols, flavonoids, vitamin C, and antioxidant activity. Significant differences (p < 0.05 using Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT)) were observed in the levels of most phytochemicals, quality parameters, and antioxidant activity among the twenty South Korean tomato cultivars tested. Lycopene and ${\beta}$-carotene contents varied significantly (p < 0.05 using DMRT), from $0.95mg{\cdot}100g^{-1}$ to $5.12mg{\cdot}100g^{-1}$ and $0.65mg{\cdot}100g^{-1}$ to $3.56mg{\cdot}100g^{-1}$ of fresh weight, respectively. ${\beta}$-carotene contents exhibited the highest genetic variation (59.2%), followed by naringenin (52.8%) and other phytochemicals. Most of the cherry tomato cultivars had statistically higher levels (p < 0.05 using DMRT) of carotenoids, phenols, flavonoids, vitamin C, and antioxidant activity compared to the regular tomato varieties, suggesting their higher nutritional value. Lycopene content was highest in the cultivars YoYo, Jicored, Titi-Chal, TY-Endorphin, and Rubyking. Cultivars Rubyking, TY-Endorphin, and Titi-Chal also showed relatively higher antioxidant activities in three assays: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. All the antioxidants, except luteolin, were positively correlated with antioxidant activities; the highest correlation was observed between total phenol and antioxidant activities, followed by the correlation between rutin and vitamin C. Cultivars identified to have superior nutritional status would be useful in tomato breeding programs to further improve quality and health benefits of tomatoes for the fresh and processed markets.

  • In this study, the nutritional value, total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity of freeze-dried Cedrela sinensis tender leaf powder were examined. Among the nutritional values, the crude protein, crude fiber, calcium, and potassium were abundantly present in Cedrela sinensis. The Cedrela sinensis powder was extracted with two solvents, 70% ethanol and distilled water (D.W.), to evaluate its functional properties. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were measured in the two different extracts, and the extracts were screened for their potential antioxidant activities using tests such as DPPH radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and ABTS radical scavenging assay. Although both extracts exhibited good antioxidant activities against trolox, the ethanolic extract exhibited higher antioxidant activities than the D.W. extract. These results indicated that the Cedrela sinensis powder is a high-valued food ingredient and the extraction with 70% ethanol will be useful as a nutritional source with natural antioxidant activities.

  • The free radical scavenging activities of extracts from kimchi, as well as various antioxidant activities, such as 2,2-azinobis-( 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) were examined. Specifically, the ABTS radical scavenging and FRAP activities of ethanolic extracts from kimchi (kimchi with non-treated salt fermented anchovy, treated non-heat salt fermented anchovy, treated heat salt fermented anchovy and commercial salt-fermented anchovy) were $0.749{\pm}0.26$, $0.895{\pm}0.15$, $0.758{\pm}0.12$, and $0.769{\pm}0.02$ mM Trolox eq./mg extract and $0.727{\pm}0.11$, $0.901{\pm}0.03$, $0.811{\pm}0.17$, and $0.843{\pm}0.16$ mM $FeSO_4$ eq./mg extract, respectively. In addition, the antioxidant activity of extract from kimchi was estimated in vivo. Mice were randomly divided into six groups (n=6), and treated with LPS for 10 days, which resulted in lower antioxidant capacities as well as increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values in the blood serum. Furthermore, antioxidant enzymes (catalase and superoxide dismutase) in blood serum increased in the presence of the kimchi. The present results reveal antioxidant activities from kimchi and encourage their application for the food industry and cooking.

  • Background: Explosive puffing can induce changes in the chemical, nutritional, and sensory quality of red ginseng. The antioxidant properties of ethanolic extracts of red ginseng and puffed red ginseng were determined in bulk oil and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. Methods: Bulk oils were heated at $60^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$ and O/W emulsions were treated under riboflavin photosensitization. In vitro antioxidant assays, including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhudrazyl, 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid, ferric reducing antioxidant power, total phenolic content, and total flavonoid content, were also performed. Results: The total ginsenoside contents of ethanolic extract from red ginseng and puffed red ginseng were 42.33 mg/g and 49.22 mg/g, respectively. All results from above in vitro antioxidant assays revealed that extracts of puffed red ginseng had significantly higher antioxidant capacities than those of red ginseng (p < 0.05). Generally, extracts of puffed red and red ginseng had high antioxidant properties in riboflavin photosensitized O/W emulsions. However, in bulk oil systems, extracts of puffed red and red ginseng inhibited or accelerated rates of lipid oxidation, depending on treatment temperature and the type of assay used. Conclusion: Although ethanolic extracts of puffed red ginseng showed stronger antioxidant capacities than those of red ginseng when in vitro assays were used, more pro-oxidant properties were observed in bulk oils and O/W emulsions.
