The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the consumption patterns, the importance of product properties, and the satisfaction levels of blackberry and mulberry fruit beverage products(BMBPs) in the Jeonbuk area, Korea. Self-administered questionnaires were collected from 294 customers(male 40.8%, female 59.2%) residing at Jeonju in Jeonbuk area. Descriptive and comparative statistical analyses were completed using SPSS PC program(version 19.0). Approximately, 61.6% of participants consumed BMBPs 1-2times a year. Only 1.7% of participants consumed BMBPs everyday. The main information source about BMBPs was 'families/friends'. About 58.8% of participants responded that the main reason for purchasing BMBPs was 'for health'. The result indicated the overall importance level(3.94) was higher than the satisfaction level(3.41)(p < .001). The importance and satisfaction levels of the older group (50's) were significantly higher than the levels of younger group(20-30's)(p < .01 ; p < .05). According to the IPA(Importance-Performance Anslysis), 'price' and 'credibility' of companies were the most important properties that had to be changed as soon as possible to increase satisfaction with BMBPs. Therefore, to increase BMBPs'-consumption, quality improvements on these products through cooperation between BMBPscompanies, the regional government, and research institutions are necessary.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of fermented blackberry drinks (BD) on carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$)-induced liver injury in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups with 6 rats per group: control, $CCl_4$, $CCl_4$ plus BD $3ml\;kg^{-1}$, and $CCl_4$ plus BD $6ml\;kg^{-1}$. We found that the levels of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were significantly increased and the activity of antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in the liver was decreased in rats treated with $CCl_4$ alone when compared with the control group. However, the administration of BD attenuated the levels of serum AST and ALT in $CCl_4$-treated rats. Moreover, the administration of BD significantly increased the activity of GPx in $CCl_4$-treated rat livers. Taken together, these results suggest that BD could protect the liver from $CCl_4$-induced hepatic damage.

The results of the alcohol decomposition ability of Aronia melanocarpa are as follows. Plasma alcohol concentration of the Aronia group was ca. 48.9% lower than the control group, but half an hour faster in that of Aronia before alcohol group, ca. 54.9% higher and half an hour later than that of the control group. ALDH(acetaldehyde dehydrogenase) of the Aronia group was ca. 243% higher than that of the control group. But maximal ALDH of the group taking Aronia before alcohol administration showed 0.5h faster and ca. 267% higher than that of the control group. This result shows that the activity of ALDH was increased by the Aronia. Aronia group's AST and ALT are increasing with similar patterns and their levels continually under the control's, but ca. 12.6% lower at AST and ca. 19.0% lower at ALT than those of control group. Ca. 21.7% lower at AST and ca. 40.5% lower at ALT in the Aronia group before alcohol administration than those of the control group. This result shows that Aronia has a role of suppressor against the liver damage. Therefore, this study proved lucidly the protective effects of Aronia on the hepatocyte.

본 연구에서는 흰쥐 SD rats에서 $CCl_4$로 유도된 간 손상에 미치는 방사선 돌연변이 블랙베리 ${\gamma}$-B201 추출물의 간 기능 개선 효과에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. ${\gamma}$-B201 추출물을 경구 투여 시 SD rats에 $CCl_4$ 처리로 인해 증가된 혈청 AST, ALT 농도를 억제함을 확인하였다. 나아가 지질과산화 대사산물인 MDA의 농도를 억제함을 확인하였고, 조직염색 관찰 결과 손상된 간 조직을 ${\gamma}$-B201 추출물에 의해 회복되는 것을 확인하였다. Comet assay를 통해 DNA 손상정도를 분석한 결과, $CCl_4$로 인해 유발된 산화적 스트레스에 의한 DNA 손상을 ${\gamma}$-B201 추출물의 경구 투여로 인하여 유의적으로 감소시켰다. $CCl_4$ 처리로 인해 감소된 SOD, CAT, GPx, GR의 항산화 효소 활성이 증가함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 방사선 돌연변이 ${\gamma}$-B201 추출물은 항산화 효소 활성을 증가시킴으로써 $CCl_4$에 의해 손상된 SD rat의 간 조직을 보호하는 것으로 판단되며, 방사선 돌연변이 ${\gamma}$-B201은 간 손상 보호 및 간 기능 개선 효과를 갖는 기능성 소재로 활용되어질 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Evidence indicates that berry anthocyanins are anti-atherogenic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory. However, berries differ vastly in their anthocyanin composition and thus potentially in their biological and metabolic effects. The present study compared hypolipidemic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties of blueberry (BB), blackberry (BK), and blackcurrant (BC) in a diet-induced obesity (DIO) mouse model. MATERIALS/METHODS: Male C57BL/6J mice were fed a high fat (HF; 35% fat, w/w) control diet or a HF diet supplemented with freeze-dried 5% BB, 6.3% BK or 5.7% BC for 12 weeks (10 mice/group) to achieve the same total anthocyanin content in each diet. Plasma lipids, antioxidant status and pro-inflammatory cytokines were measured. The expression of genes involved in antioxidant defense, inflammation, and lipid metabolism was determined in the liver, epididymal adipose tissue, proximal intestine, and skeletal muscle. Histological analysis was performed to identify crown-like structure (CLS) in epididymal fat pads to determine macrophage infiltration. RESULTS: No differences were noted between the control and any berry-fed groups in plasma levels of liver enzymes, insulin, glucose, ferric reducing antioxidant power, superoxide dismutase, and tumor necrosis factor ${\alpha}$. However, BK significantly lowered plasma triglyceride compared with the HF control and other berries, whereas BC significantly reduced F4/80 mRNA and the number of CLS in the epididymal fat pad, indicative of less macrophage infiltration. CONCLUSIONS: The present study provides evidence that BB, BK and BC with varying anthocyanin composition differentially affect plasma lipids and adipose macrophage infiltration in DIO mice, but with no differences in their antioxidant capacity and anti-inflammatory potential.

The plant Rubus species (Rosaceae) mainly contains $19{\alpha}-hydroxyurane-type$ triterpenoids $(19{\alpha}-HUT)$ as bioactive components. Available functional food includes blackberry (the fruit of thornless Rubus sp.), red raspberry (R. idaeus) and black raspberry (R. occidentalis). However, the fruit of R. coreanus, which is used in Korea as a functional food, substitutes black raspberry. Rubi Fructus, which has been traditionally used as an oriental medicinal drug, designates only unripe fruit of R. coreanus but not its ripe fruit which indicates that it needs high content of $19{\alpha}-HUT$ as a crude drug. Throughout our experiment, we found that ripe fruits contain very little amount of $19{\alpha}-HUT$ when compared to unripe fruits. In addition, various and rich $19{\alpha}-HUT$ has been reported from Rubus species. The most common structure of $19{\alpha}-HUT$ of Rubus species, euscaphic acid or tormentic acid with $3{\alpha}-OH$ or $3{\beta}-OH$, respectively, can be glycosylated or oxidized to produce a number of $19{\alpha}-HUTs $as euscaphic acid and tormentic acid derivatives and even esterified to form dimeric triterpenoids. In this review, the bioactivity and biosynthetic pathway and chemical characterization of $19{\alpha}-HUTs$ found in Rubus species are discussed.

More effective treatments are needed for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We hypothesized that water extracts of blackberry fruits (BF) and leaves (BL) and their combinations (BFL) reduce fat deposition in HepG2 cells and modulate shor-tchain fatty acids (SCFA) and fecal bacteria in vitro. HepG2 cells were treated with BF, BL, BFL1:2, and BFL1:3 for 1 h, and 0.5 mM palmitate was added to the cells. Moreover, low ($30{\mu}g/mL$) and high doses ($90{\mu}g/mL$) of BL and BF were applied to fecal bacteria in vitro, and SCFA was measured by GC. BL, BF, BFL1:2, and BFL1:3 reduced triglyceride deposition in the cells in a dose-dependent manner, and BFL1:2 and BFL1:3 had a stronger effect than BF. The content of malondialdehyde, an index of oxidative stress, was also reduced in BL, BF, and BFL1:2 with increasing superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities. The mRNA expression of acetyl CoA carboxylase, fatty acid synthase, and sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c was reduced in BL, BF, BFL1:2, and BFL1:3 compared to the control, and BFL1:2 had the strongest effect. By contrast, the carnitine palmitolytransferase-1expression, a regulator of fatty acid oxidation, increased mostly in BFL1:2 and BFL1:3. Tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ and interleukin-$1{\beta}$ expression was reduced in BL compared to that in BF and BFL1:2 in HepG2 cells. Interestingly, BL increased propionate production, and BF increased butyrate and propionate production and increased total SCFA content in fecal incubation. BF increased the contents of Bifidobacteriales and Lactobacillales and decreased those of Clostridiales, whereas BL elevated the contents of Bacteroidales and decreased those of Enterobacteriales. In conclusion, BFL1:2 and BFL1:3 may be potential therapeutic candidates for NAFLD.
