Korean traditional fermented soy paste (doenjang) prolonged the life span of Balb/c mice injected with the sarcoma-180 cells. The activities of liver enzymes, such as xanthine oxidase, aminopyrine N-demethylase, aniline hydroxylase, ${\gamma}$-glutamylcysteine synthetase, glutathione reductase and glutathione S-transferase (GST), and the contents of lipid peroxide and glutathione were determined from the sarcoma-180 cell injected mice that were treated with methanol extracts from doenjang, miso and soybean. The content of lipid peroxide and the activity of xanthine oxidase in the liver of Balb/c mice which were increased by the transplantation of the sarcoma-180 cells were decreased by treatment with the methanol extract from doenjang. But the activities of aminopyrine N-dementhylase and aniline hydroxylase were not affected by the treatment of methanol extracts from doenjang to the mice injected with the sarcoma-180 cells. The content of glutathione, the activities of glutamylcysteine synthetase, glutathione reductase and glutathione S-transferase decreased by the injection of the sarcoma-180 were recovered considerably by the treatment of the methanol extract from doenjang.

While the contents of protein, fat, fiber, sodium, vitamin A, and vitamin D in dry dog food were 22.0%, 7.8%. 5.4%, 0.36%, 2035 IU/100g and 201 IU/100g, respectevely, those in dry cat food were 29.8%, 6.5%, 4.5%, 0.38%, 1543 IU/100g and 163 IU/100g, respectively. Concerning the lipid contents of pet food, the concentration of unsturated fatty acid was slightly higher of dry dog food(59.2%) than that of dry cat food(55.9%), but the differences was statistically not significant. The lipid peroxide concentration in dry dog food after storage in a refrigerator at $4^{\circ}C$ or dark place of room temperture at $20{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 30 days(8.0 nmol/g and 7.8 nmol/g) was not different from the value at the beginning of storage. However, upon storage in direct sunlight at $20{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ of room temperture, the concentration increased 4.9-fold(35.5 nmol/g) after 5 days and 10.2-fold(73.6 nmol/g) after 30 days. These results suggest that pet food may be refrigerated or stored in a dark place after unsealing.

${\kappa}-Carrageenan-based$ film prepared by mixing 2% ${\kappa}-carrageenan$, 0.1% KCl, 0.75% polyethylene glycol, and 0.75% glycerol was examined to be used as a potential packaging material for mackerel mince for preventing moisture loss and lipid oxidation. Mackerel mince patties were vacuum-packaged with the film and stored at $20^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C,\;0^{\circ}C,\;and\;-15^{\circ}C$; nonpackaged patties were also stored at $0^{\circ}C$. Weight reduction, peroxide value (PV), and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value were measured during storage. The packaged or nonpackaged samples stored at $20^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C,\;and\;0^{\circ}C$ showed a 60% weight reduction between 2 and 15 days of storage, while the weight reduction of the samples stored at $-15^{\circ}C$ was about 3% after 25 days. The nonpackaged samples stored at $0^{\circ}C$ showed a steady increase in lipid oxidation with the PV reaching 23 mequivalent peroxide (PO)/㎏ on day 20 and with the TBA value at 0.4 mole malonaldehyde (MA)/g on day 5. The PV and TBA values of the samples vacuum-packaged with the carrageenan-based film were below 2 mequivalent PO/㎏ and below 0.1 mole MA/g, respectively, regardless of storage temperature throughout the storage of 28 days.

자유라디칼은 반응성이 커서 세포의 구성 물질인 단백질, 지질, 당, DNA등과 반응하여 세포 및 조직을 손상시킴으로서 노화를 가져온다. 이러한 자유라디칼들은 자외선, 일반 대사, 스트레스, 질병, 흡연 등에 의해 생성되고 특히, 활성 산소 종인 hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical, lipid peroxide radical등은 피부 노화를 발생시키는 원인이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한방 식물로부터 유해한 활성 산소종을 소거하는 활성을 가진 물질을 기 위해 1차 스크리닝 하였고, 이중 육두구, 관중, 초두구, 빈랑, 금은화, 포공영, 우롱차, 황금, 녹차 추출물이 효과가 높게 나타났으며, 그중 초두구와 빈랑 90% 메탄올 추출물에서 가장 우수한 소거 활성을 나타냄으로써 이 추출물에 대하여 자유라디칼 소거 활성에 대하여 여러 가지 생물학적 활성을 조사하였다. 초두구와 빈랑추출물에 대한 hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical, lipid peroxide radical을 소거하는 활성을 핵산, 클로로포름, 에틸아세테이트, 물층으로 분획하여 조사한 결과 에틸아세테이트층에서 가장 우수한 활성을 보였다. 에틸아세테이트 분획에 대한 lipid peroxide radical 소거에 있어서 빈랑 추출물이 $IC_{50}$/ 값 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 초두구 추출물은 $IC_{50}$/ 값 59 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml로서 기준물질로 사용되는 vitamic C (120 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml)나 butylated hydroxyl toluene (80 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) 보다 더 우수한 소거 효과를 보여주었고, hydroxyl radical을 소거하는 능력은 25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml와 150 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml로 hydroxyl radical의 소거 능이 좋은 vitamin C (180 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) 보다 뛰어난 소거 활성을 나타내었다. Superoxide radical을 소거하는 효과는 초두구 추출물의 $IC_{50}$/ 값 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 빈랑 추출물이 15 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml을 나타냈고, 이는 기준 물질인 vitamin C (35 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml)보다 좋은 소거 활성을 보여주었으며, gallic acid 9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml과 유사한 효과를 나타내었다. 사람 섬유아세포를 배양하여 hydroxyl radical과 superoxide radical를 발생시킨 후 초두구와 빈랑 추출물의 세포 보호 효과를 실험한 결과 25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml의 농도로 처리하였을 때 각각 85% 이상의 우수한 세포 보호 효과를 나타내었다. 초두구로부터는 자유라디칼 소거 활성이 있는 물질을 분리하기 위하여 분획한 후 가장 높은 소거 활성을 보인 에틸아세테이트 층에 대하여 silica column chromatography, preparative TLC를 수행하였다. 초두구로부터 분리된 물질은 HPLC를 이용한 분리에서 phenol성 물질인 gallic acid와 동일한 retention time을 보여줌으로써 초두구로부터 분리된 물질은 gallic acid와 유사한 phenol성 물질이거나 그의 유도체일 것으로 추측된다. 따라서, 초두구와 빈랑 추출물은 피부 노화의 주요인이 되고 있는 lipid radical, hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical을 소거하는 활성이 뛰어나 자유라디칼에 의하여 발생되는 피부노화를 방지할수 있는 물질로서의 효과가 기대된다.가 기대된다.

Quality characteristics of Kwamaegi (semi-dried saury) prepared by treatment of chitosan-ascorbate (CA) and vacuum drying at $40{\sim}60^{\circ}C$(VDK), and the effect of the Kwamaegi on serum lipid profiles and anti-oxidation-related enzyme activity in rats fed high fat diets were investigated. The preparation periods were $4.5{\sim}8.3$ hr in VDK, while naturally dried Kwamaegi (NDK) took 360480 hr. Total microbe contents of VDK and NDK were $0.2{\sim}0.5$ and 8.2 log CFU/g, respectively. There was no significant difference in amino-nitrogen content. Compared with NDK, the acid and peroxide value, and fishy flavor of VDK40 (dried at $40^{\circ}C$) were significantly lower, and the texture, color and overall acceptability were higher. In animal experiments, weight gain, content of LDL-cholesterol and lipid peroxide, activities of total (T) and O type (O) xanthine oxidase, and the O/T ratio (%) were significantly lower in the VDK40 diet group than in the NDK diet group. The content of HDL-cholesterol in the VDK40 diet group was higher than in the NDK diet group. These results suggest that preparing CA-treated Kwamaegi with vacuum-drying at $40^{\circ}C$ can be applied throughout the year, and may shorten preparation time and improve its microbiological safety and nutritional values.

four varieties of ground nut (Arechis hypogea) were collected from different areas of Pakistan (Tillagang, Gujar khan, Hanoi and Pipplan) from Punjab province. The oils were extracted for the evaluation of lipid. Physico-chemical values of oils were determined like refractive index, peroxide value, unsaponifiable matter, acid value, iodine value, free fatty acid and ester value. The lipid profile as indicated by GLC showed that Palmitic acid ranged from 8.2-8.8%, proportions of oleic acid and linoleic acid varied from 57.8-59.87% and 22.5-24.1% respectively. Gujar khan variety of peanut has higher % age of oil (56.79). The higher yield of oil in this variety is not at the cost of any nutritional quality of peanut oil.

Antioxidant properties of the extracts of Acanthopanax senticosus were investigated. The dried roots, stems or leaves were extracted with hot water or ethanol each. The ethanol extracts exhibited higher potency than aqueous extracts in scavenging free radicals and in inhibiting microsomal lipid peroxidation: the aqueous extracts of stems showed higher anti-oxidant effects than the root extracts. Copper-mediated LDL oxidation was also protected by the ethanol exlracts: antioxidant effects of the extracts tested were stronger than ascorbic acid, but not butylated hydroxytoluene. The activity of angiotensin converting enzyme was effectively suppressed by the aqueous extracts of the stems. However, in vivo antioxidant properties of the ethanol extracts of the stems did not seem to be significant, judged from the lipid peroxide values of serum and liver in normal mice. Thus, the ethanol extracts of the stems were shown to be more potent for protecting biological systems against various oxidant stresses in vitro, but not in vivo.

Antioxidant activity or green tea extracts (GTE) was evaluated in soybean oil (SBO), rice bran oil (RBO) and winterized rice bran oil (WRBO) stored at 63$^{\circ}C$ for 36 days. Lipid oxidation of the oils was determined using the active oxygen method (AOM), peroxide value (POV), change in unsaturated free fatty acid concentrations and by sensory evaluation. SBO had a higher concentration of the polyunsaturated fatty acids, linoleic and linolenic acid than RBO and WRBO. WRBO and RBO were more stable against lipid oxidation than SBO. Addition of GTE (200 ppm) to the stored oils, increased the induction period (IP) in AOM, reduced the increase in POV, and lessened the change in unsaturated fatty acids. Furthermore, GTE prevented the development of rancid flavors resulting from storage, all of which demonstrate the protective antioxidative activity of GTE. However, oil color became darker in the GTE treated oils. The antioxidant protection of GTE was most effective in RBO.

The effect of lysine or methionine addition on the lipid oxidation and protein properties in casein-fish oil model system during the storage of 21 days at 37$^{\circ}C$ was studied. The peroxide and TBA values were increased markedly and the amino acids addition to the system caused to reduce the extent of lipid oxidation in comparison with that of casein-fish oil system which was a control group. Significant changes in fatty acid composition of each group were observed. Polyenoic acid contents were drastically decreased during the storage in the groups with and without the amino acids additions, . And also significant losses of several amino acids were occurred with the reduction of solubility and digestibility of casein during the storage. However no different effects were observed in both additionsof lysine and methionine to the system.

Objectives: In traditional medicine, Wolgukwhan has been used for the treatment of digestive system disease, such as indigestion, brash, ructation, nausea and vomiting. This study was purposed to investigate the effects of Wolgukwhan methnol extract (WGWM) on oxidative liver cell injury. Methods: In vivo assay, we administerated acetaminophen(500mg/kg, i.p.) to starved mice 24hrs after pretreatment of WGWM for 6days. In the liver homogenates, lipid peroxide and glutathione(GSH) levels were measured. In addition, activities of hepatic enzyme, such as catalase, glutathione peroxidase(GPX), glutathione S-transferase(GST) were measured in the hepatic mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions. Results: In vivo administeration of WGWM showed effective inhibition of acetaminophen induced lipid peroxidation and elevations of glutathione level. The acetaminophen treatment resulted in a decrease of catalase, GPX and GST activities. By contrast, WGWM pretreatment increased compare to those of untreated groups. Conclusions: These results suggested that WGWM might protect against lipid peroxidation by free radicals, destruction of hepatic cell membranes.
