Buckwheat (Fagopyrum species) has long been an excellent functional food. Besides, buckwheat sprouts contain various functional substances. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant activity of buckwheat sprouts in the context of cultivars harvested after different cultivation periods (0, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, and 15 days after planting). Buckwheat sprouts were cultivated at 25℃ for up to 15 days and then extracted with ethanol. Antioxidant components were then extracted from sprouts and leaves using a freeze dryer. The total polyphenolic content, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity were then analyzed. The total polyphenol content increased from 32.26 mg GA eq/100 g for raw buckwheat to 114.75 mg GA eq/100 g after 7 days of cultivation. Also, the flavonoid content increased from 20.61 mg catechin eq/100 g (0 days) to 56.54 mg/g after 9 days of cultivation. The DPPH radical scavenging activity (concentration of extract at 0.25 mg/mL) increased from 7.89% at day 0 to 53.48% after 9 days of cultivation. Additionally, the ABTS radical scavenging activity increased from 10.26% at day 0 to 32.89% after 7 days of cultivation; of note, the activity decreased afterward. These results suggest that the best buckwheat sprouts with higher biological activities are those cultivated for 7-9 days. For a complete understanding of the potential of buckwheat sprouts as functional foods, we plan to further analyze their antioxidant activity in the future.

본 연구에서는 홍삼분말과 커피분말의 혼합비율에 따른 추출물에서의 항균효과와 항산화성을 알아보기 위해 물과 에탄올로 추출하여 그람 음성균 3종과 그람 양성균 3종 및 진균 1종에 대한 항균활성 및 항산화력을 측정하였다. 각각의 추출물을 이용하여 항균 효과를 측정한 결과 열수 추출물은 모든 균주에서 항균활성을 보였으나 비교적으로 약한 항균효과를 보였고, 에탄올 추출물은 그람음성 균주 E. coli와 진균인 C. albicans 2종에서는 항균효과를 보이지 않았지만 나머지 균주에서는 열수 추출보다 우수한 항균효과를 보였다. B. cereus 균주에서는 모든 샘플에서 항균효과가 나타났고, ES2 샘플은 P. aeruginosa와 S. Typhimurium 균주에서 각각 19 및 20 mm의 clear zone을 형성하였고, 0.25 및 0.125 mg/mL의 농도로 MIC를 나타내어 가장 우수한 항균효과를 보였다. 또한 항균성을 보인 대부분의 시료에서 0.5~1.0 mg/mL의 MIC 농도를 나타내었다. 그리고 DPPH 자유기 소거효과를 이용한 항산화력 측정에서는 열수 추출물에서 55.38~60.01%, 에탄올 추출물에서 59.37~70.50%로 AA보다는 약하지만 BHT의 결과와 비슷하여 비교적 높은 자유기 소거효과를 보였다. 총 폴리페놀화합물 함량은 열수 추출물에서 93.57~109.18 mg/g으로 커피와 홍삼의 혼합비율이 9:1일때 가장 높은 함량을 보였고, 에탄올 추출물에서는 105.16~119.79 mg/g으로 혼합비율이 7:3일 때 가장 높은 함량을 보였다. 열수 추출물과 에탄올 추출물의 총 페놀화합물의 함량을 비교하였을 때, 대체로 에탄올 추출물에서 총 페놀화합물 함량이 높은 경향을 보였다. 혼합 비율에 따라 각 시료의 항균 효과와 항산화력 역시 변화를 보였다. 따라서 홍삼의 일반 식품 이용가능성으로 커피와의 함량 조절로 커피의 항균효과와 항산화력을 변화시킬 수 있다는 가능성을 알 수 있었다. 이 연구를 바탕으로 추후 특정 생리활성물질의 분석과 생리활성기능을 연관 지어 연구를 진행한다면 기존의 기호음료로서의 커피에서 기능성 음료로서의 커피로 발전할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, analysis of active compounds that are believed to be highly relevant to antioxidant activity was carried out on the methanol extract and its solvent fractions of Corni fructus. The DPPH radical scavenging activity for the comparison of antioxidant activity was higher in order of aqueous fraction > methanol extract > ethyl acetate fraction > n-hexane fraction. It is similar to the order of total polyphenol contents in the samples. As a result of LC-MS analysis, phenolic acid compounds such as caffeic acid, gallic acid and chlorogenic acid and lognin, which is known as a representative active ingredient of Corni fructus, were identified as active compounds. And the antioxidative activity and the total polyphenol content of the extracts and solvent fractions were found to be related to the contents of the compounds. Particularly, it was confirmed that phenolic acid such as caffeic acid contributes to the antioxidative activity of the aqueous fraction of Corni fructus methanol extract.

This study examined the changes in the chemical components and antioxidant activity of Ecklonia cava according to the drying methods. As chemical components, the concentrations of minerals(K, Ca, Na, Mg, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn), vitamins(vitamin C, ${\beta}$-carotene and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol) and the total polyphenols were analyzed. In additions, the antioxidant activity was determined by measuring the free radical(DPPH radical, superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide) scavenging activity and the linoleic acid peroxidation inhibitory activity. The mineral content was not affected by the drying methods. However, more vitamins were lost and the total polyphenol concentration was reduced as a result of sun-drying than by the other drying methods used. More of the total polyphenol was preserved by freezing-drying than by any of the other drying methods, which meant that there was a higher antioxidant activity after freeze drying.

Anthocyanin and polyphenolic compounds present in fruits of mulberry (Morus alba L.) were determined and the influence of temperature and UV irradiation on stability of the anthocyanin-copigment complex were investigated. The copigmentation substance selected in non-anthocyanin fraction from mulberry for the study included: phenolic acid (hydroxybenzoic acid) and flavonoid (quercetin-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside). The copigmentation effect increased with the copigment content. UV irradiation had a stronger degradation effect on the copigmentation complex than heating at $80^{\circ}C$. The non-anthocyanin fraction of mulberry and isolated flavonoid (quercetin-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside) from mulberry fruit predominated over other copigment substances.

This study was the change of compound and bioactivity were analyzed by different harvesting time (May, August, and November) of Suaeda japonica Makino. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of S. japonica were the highest at about 22.81 mg GAE/g and 4.56 mg QE/g, respectively, in the S. japonica harvested in Nov. Also, the contents of quercetin, showed the highest content in Nov harvested S. japonica. In addition, the antioxidative activity of each extract from S. japonica changed depending on harvesting time. For S. japonica harvested in Nov showed the highest DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity. From the NO inhibition assay, the S. japonica harvested in Nov had shown the highest anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, consideration of the optimal harvesting time for S. japonica could be an important factor attributing to its natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and the optimal harvesting time was confirmed especially to be in Nov.

The aim of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of makgeolli that was produced by using different percentages (control, 3%, 5%, 7%, 9% by rice weight) of Angelica gigas Nakai water extracts during fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Yeast cell count in makgeolli steadily increased and showed the highest value at day 4 of fermentation, since then, the count decreased consistently. The final alcohol contents were higher than 15% in all samples. Soluble contents and antioxidation activity were significantly increased in percentage as Angelica water extracts increased (p<0.05). As the amount of Angelica water extracts increased, total polyphenol contents increased as well. Soluble contents and total polyphenol contents were increased according to the fermentation period. Total acidity increased up to day 3, but slowly decreased afterwards. However, the pH rapidly decreased by day 3, but then increased steadily. Reducing sugar amount was increased sharply by day 2 of fermentation and then, diminished gradually. Hunter's color value was not significantly different among samples however, they were significantly different between day 2 samples of fermentation and day 3 or more samples (p<0.05). In sensory evaluations, the sample produced using 5% Angelica water extracts received the highest score in herbal flavor, herbal taste, sourness, sweetness, and overall acceptance. Makgeolli using Angelica gigas Nakai water extracts showed excellent characteristics in antioxidative activity and higher total polyphenol content. Makgeolli produced using 5% Angelica water extracts received the highest score in sensory evaluation. Therefore, makgeolli produced using 5% Angelica water extracts was considered to be the most suitable for manufacturing makgeolli.

Large quantities of Korean wild grape (Vitis coignetiae, KWG) pomace, a by-product of grape juice and wine manufacture, are generated annually, and disposal cost of KWG pomace is now increasing. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine total polyphenol, flavonoid, and anthocyanin content in whole KWG, KWG skin and KWG pomace and to identify and quantify flavonoids found in whole KWG and KWG pomace using LC/MS/MS. Spectral analysis showed high total polyphenol and flavonoid in KWG skin extracted with 75% ethanol (p < 0.05). KWG pomace had higher amount of total polyphenol, flavonoid and anthocyanin than whole grape (p < 0.05). Sixteen flavonoids were identified, but only 10 flavonoids were quantifiable from whole KWG and KWG pomace. Both epicatechin and rutin were the major flavonoids, and 521 or 147 ng/g of epicatechin (p < 0.05) and 305 or 110 ng/g of rutin (p > 0.05) were found in whole KWG and KWG pomace, respectively. The results show that KWG pomace is a very rich source of flavonoids, thus KWG pomace can be used as a functional food additive. Plans to include KWG pomace in food production are necessary.
