"Eating cosmetic" market comes to prominence worldwide. Inner Beauty has established itself as the top trend nowadays and is leading the health functional food market. Another noticeable trend other than beauty-from-within is that products using "plant-based" natural botanical raw material are increasing. Based on these trends above, we have developed a plant extract named Agatri® for skin health using Agastache rugosa. By ingesting Agatri®, it is expected that the formation of skin wrinkles is suppressed, and skin elasticity is increased by suppressing the decrease in collagen content caused by ultraviolet rays. At the same time, it is possible to prevent skin aging by improving skin hydration and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). The studies show that it significantly increased production of hyaluronic acid and collagen, and decreased production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). And Agatri® has been approved as an "Individually recognized functional ingredient for skin health by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, Korea in 2020. As a result, Agatri® is a good solution for those who are in need of skin protection from exposure to UV and aging.

삼백초를 기능성 미용식품에 적용시키기 위하여 추출물의 미용활성을 측정하였다. 삼백초 물 추출물의 경우 tyrosinase 저해활성이 나타나지 않았지만 ethanol 추출물의 경우 초미세 분쇄의 경우 20% 이상의 미백활성 효과를 나타내어 삼백초를 초미세분쇄 시 tyrosinase 활성저해 물질이 추출됨을 알 수 있었다. 삼백초 ethanol 추출물의 phenolic 농도를 100~1,000 ppm으로 조절하여 tyrosinase 활성 저해를 측정한 결과 1,000 ppm phenolic 첨가농도에서 100% 가까운 tyrosinase 저해 효과를 나타내었다. 주름개선 효과는 삼백초의 phenolic 첨가농도가 1,000 ppm이상의 농도에서 30% 내외의 저해효과가 있음을 알 수 있었고, 물 추출물과 ethanol 추출물 모두 미세 분쇄보다 초미세 분쇄 추출물이 더 우수한 elastase 저해활성을 나타내었다. 삼백초 ethanol 추출물의 수렴성의 경우 250 ppm이상에서 70% 이상의 좋은 효과를 보였다. 따라서 초미세 분쇄한 삼백초 추출물은 일반 미쇄 추출물보다 미백, 주름개선 및 모공축소 등의 미용 효능이 매우 우수한 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 미백, 주름개선, 모공축소 등의 기능성 미용 소재로 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

This study was conducted to understand sensory characteristics of commercial functional beverages, to analyze and the drivers of liking and disliking of it by Korean consumers. Descriptive analysis and consumer taste testing were conducted with ten commercial products of functional beverages. Samples were consisted of good for beauty, relieving hangovers, and health tonics. For the descriptive analysis, 45 attributes were developed by ten panelists and it shows differences among the all samples. For the consumer testing, 81 panels evaluated the overall liking, acceptance of appearance, odor, flavor, and texture of 10 samples. As a result, attributes of brightness, yellow color, Nurungji flavor, roasted bean power flavor, and milky texture of functional beverages were positive drivers of liking, but attributes of astringent texture, bitter taste, and viscosity were negative drivers of liking on the commercial functional beverages.

The purpose of this study was to analyze consumption patterns of health functional foods (HFF) according to climacteric symptoms. Subjects were 450 middle-aged women divided into four groups by Kupperman's index. This study collected all information by self-administrated questionnaires. Higher Kupperman's index was associated with higher Menopause-specific quality of life questionnaire (MENQOL) (P<0.001) and current smoker ratio (P<0.01) as well as lower monthly income (P<0.05). Exactly 28.4% of subjects showed negative responses to effectiveness of HFF. The average number of HFF intake per person was 2.01. The main reason for consumption of HFF was treatment or prevention of disease (33.6%). The information source for buying HFF was family or relatives (40.0%). The main types of HFF were vitamins (28.2%), omega-3 fatty acid (18.6%) and red ginseng (17.3%). The intake ratio of individual approval type (Cynanchum extract and Angeli extract) was significantly higher in subjects with high Kupperman's index (P<0.001). In conclusion, these results can be used as basic data that reflect middle-aged women's needs for HFF intake according to climacteric symptoms.

The aim of this study is to examine the patterns of expressing contemporary beauty from the perspective of Laotzu's philosophy in order to suggest its concept and characteristics and to suggest specific cases through cosmetics advertisement. In doing so, the study attempted to understand that contemporary beauty is more humanistic and liberal in terms of expression patterns than in any other time period. The research results are as below. The frame concept of Laotzu's philosophy includes 1. Naturalness, 2. coexistence in Conflict, and 3. Non-otherness. The characteristics of contemporary beauty are natural and healthy, People can foresee changing beauty by the cycle of life and, by admitting this philosophy, people can understand one's individuality and discover self-esteemed beauty. Also, the results from the cases of cosmetics advertisement are as below: 1. Naturalness was remarkable. Such phenomenon was common in representative brands of the research subjects. Expression pattern was based on soft, natural make-up and hair style. 2. For conflict and coexistence, they introduced the ancient image of the situation, and the situational image using food and herbs demonstrated a functional, situational image, which was used for the cosmetics advertisement based on the mutual coexistence concept instead of dichotomy of period or material. 3. Non-otherness advertisement, of which there was none, we expected that maximized marketing effect would be achieved if non-otherness cosmetics advertisement expressed the contemporary beauty because it could solicit sympathy form many consumers.

대부분의 여성은 폐경 이후 신체적 변화를 겪게 된다. 폐경의 증상으로는 홍조, 발한, 몸무게의 증가와 질 건조증 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 여성의 폐경기 증상 완화에 효능이 있는 열 가지 종류의 생약을 조합하여 만든 혼합 추출물이 동물의 폐경 모델인 난소절제(ovariectomized, OVX) 레트에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 경구투여를 통해 각각 500 mg/kg/d, 1,000 mg/kg/d 농도의 열수 추출물(자음미단)을 8주간 섭취시켰으며, 양성대조군으로 에스트라디올($50{\mu}g/mL$)을 사용하였다. 실험을 통해 자음미단이 난소절제 레트에서 몸무게를 유의적으로 감소시켰으며, 간에서의 지방 함량 증가를 억제함을 확인하였다. 자음미단의 섭취는 페경 후 증가하는 혈액의 중성지방과 콜레스테롤 수치도 감소시켰다. 또한, 자음미단은 질의 무게를 증가시켰으며, 특히 질 내벽의 상피세포의 두께에 영향을 주었다. 자음미단의 1,000 mg/kg/d의 농도에서는 에스트로디올과 유사한 정도의 내벽 두께를 관찰할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 실험을 통해 자음미단이 폐경기 여성의 증상인 비만, 대사질환 및 질 건조증의 증상을 완화해줄 수 있으며, 이를 활용한 기능성 식품의 개발이 기대된다.

Extract of Taraxacum platycarpum (AF-343) has been reported to have several biological properties such as skin hydration and anti-inflammatory effects. Although clinical evidences of skin hydration and antiinflammatory effect were proven in clinical trial, precise mechanism of skin hydration was not fully understood yet. In this study, we have focused skin hydration mechanism related filaggrin, collagen, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) in vitro and animal study. Herein, skin hydration mechanism of AF-343 is due to recovery of filaggrin in mice model and increased production of collagen with suppression of matrix MMP in vitro fibroblast cell line.

소나무 뿌리(동송근)로부터 phenolic compounds를 추출 후 미용식품활성을 검정하여 기능성 소재로 활용가능성을 살펴보았다. 동송근에 함유된 페놀성 물질의 tyrosinase 저해효과를 측정한 결과 $50{\mu}g/mL$ phenolics 농도에서 ethanol 추출물이 92%의 tyrosinase 저해효과를 나타내었다. Elastase와 collagenase 저해효과를 측정한 결과 $200{\mu}g/mL$ phenolics 농도에서 ethanol 추출물이 각각 61, 78%의 높은 저해력을 나타내어 주름개선효과가 높았다. 수렴효과는 $50{\mu}g/mL$ phenolics의 저농도 ethanol 추출물에서 82%의 저해효과를 나타내었다. 염증억제효과를 나타내는 hyaluronidase 저해효과를 측정한 결과 $100-200{\mu}g/mL$ phenolic 농도의 ethanol 추출물에서 74-94%의 매우 높은 염증억제효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과로 보아 동송근 추출물이 미용식품활성 또는 기능성 소재로서 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.
