The wild Pyrus plants belong to the deciduous woody plants in Rosaceae family. Most are cultivated for fruit productions, but some for ornamental plants. There are 5 Pyrus species including Pyrus ussuriensis and 8 varieties cultivated in Korea. In Korea, these plants are populated near villages or on the hills, and they are easily propagated since their fruit are very juicy and quite big in size. Plant breeding to get improved cultivars is not difficult because the Pyrus plants are easy to cross breeding among its genus. Because not only this reason but there have been shown lots of variation in wild groups, the Pyrus plants inhabited in Korea are excellent deciduous woody plants and favorable fruit trees to develop ornamental plants. It is necessary to develop many kinds of fruit trees and ornamental trees containing genetically different character, so that it will be satisfied for many different people's taste and demands. Collecting lots of wild plant resource with diverse genes is necessary for plant breeding.

본 연구는 산돌배나무(Pyrus ussuriensis) 잎에서 추출한 분획물의 항산화능을 조사하여 화장품소재로 적용 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 수행하였다. 산돌배나무 잎을 채취하여 건조시킨 후 분쇄하여 60% acetone-$H_2O$(6:4, v/v)로 추출하고, 아세톤 가용부를 분획하여 동결건조 시켰다. 아세톤 및 물 가용부를 Sephadex LH-20으로 충진한 칼럼에서 메탄올 MeOH을 용출용매로 사용하여 칼럼크로마토그래피를 실시하고 또한 MeOH를 전개용매로 사용한 MICgel을 이용했다. 단리된 화합물들은 Silica-gel TLC로 확인하였다. 폴리페놀 함량은 산돌배나무 잎의 아세톤 분획물에서 914 mg/g으로 정량되어 높은 함량이었다. 산돌배나무 잎의 아세톤 분획물을 이용하여 항산화효과를 분석하여 얻은 결론을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 전자공여능의 경우 산돌배나무 잎의 아세톤 분획물의 100 ppm농도에서 80%이상의 전자공여능을 나타내었다. 산돌배나무 잎의 아세톤 분획물 중 한 분획물의 Superoxide dismutase(SOD) 유사활성은 1000 ppm에서 77%의 활성을 보였다. 분획물의 Xanthine oxidase 저해능은 10 ppm에서 38%의 저해률을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 보아 산돌배나무 잎의 아세톤 분획물은 항산화효과를 가진 천연소재임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The stem extract from Pyrus serotina var has natural antioxidant ability, but the extraction method does not result in a soluble compound in cosmetic formulations. This study investigated the cosmetic efficacy of the Pyrus serotina var stem extract and its epidermis permeation ability when combined with polymer micelles and a cell penetrating peptide. The total concentration of polyphenol compounds was determined to be 103.1644 ± 1.38 mg/g in the ethanol extract and 78.97 ± 1.45 mg/g in the hydrothermal extract. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging effects were 55.94 ± 0.22% in the ethanol extract at 1,000 mg/L. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity rates were 104.05 ± 3.28% in the ethanol extract at 62.5 mg/L. The elastase inhibition rate was 67.21 ± 2.72% in the ethanol extract at 1,000 mg/L. An antimicrobial effect was observed in the Propionibacterium acnes strain. In the epidermal permeability experiment, it was confirmed that formulation of the polymer micelle containing the Pyrus serotina var stem extract and cell penetrating peptide (R6, hexa-D-arginine) showed small particle size and much better skin permeability. The cumulative amount of total Pyrus serotina var stem extract that penetrated to the skin over time increased over 24 hours in three formulations. The three formulations showed 51.61 ㎍/㎠ (Formulation 0), 75.97 ㎍/㎠ (Formulation 1) and 95.23 ㎍/㎠ (Formulation 2) skin penetration, respectively. Therefore, it was confirmed that the ethanol extracts of Pyrus serotina var stem showed good cosmetic efficacy and excellent epidermis permeation ability when combined with a polymer micelle and cell penetrating peptide. Thus, this extract has the potential to be used as a safe and natural cosmetic material in the future.

This study investigated the activity of crude enzymes obtained from Pyrus pyrifolia cv. Shingo on milk proteins. In the milk processing industry, there is an increasing interest in the addition of functional materials to dairy products or functional peptides isolated from milk proteins. First, Pyrus pyrifolia cv. Shingo was separated into core, flesh, and peel regions, and crude enzymes were obtained from the individual regions. The activity of the obtained crude enzymes was measured using casein and gelatin agar. The crude enzyme obtained from the flesh of Pyrus pyrifolia cv. Shingo decomposed gelatin, but the activity of the crude enzymes obtained from the peel and core regions was insignificant. On the other hand, the crude enzymes obtained from the flesh and core regions of Pyrus pyrifolia cv. Shingo had a remarkable enzymatic activity in casein agar. However, the activity of the crude enzyme obtained from the peel region was insignificant. In addition, the crude enzymes obtained from the individual regions were mixed with casein to induce reactions, and the degradation patterns were investigated through electrophoresis and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). According to the results, the crude enzymes from Pyrus pyrifolia cv. Shingo degraded milk proteins. Thus, the results of this study can be used in studies on functionality. Additionally, it is expected that the use of pear peels and cores in the milk processing industry would greatly contribute to the reduction of food waste.

예로부터 식품으로 사용되어온 산돌배나무 (Pyrus ussuriensis) 열매를 대상으로 항산화 활성 성분을 찾기 위하여 그 MeOH추출물의 EtOAc분획을 대상으로 column chromatography를 실시하여 1, 4-dibenzenediol, chlorogenic acid 및 quercitrin등 세종의 화합물을 분리하고 DPPH free radical소거법을 이용하여 항산화활성을 측정하였다. 이중 quercitrin은 a-tocopherol 및 BHA보다 낮은 활성 $(RC_{50}=20{\mu}g)$을 보였으나 1, 4-dibenzenediol $(RC_{50}=0.4{\mu}g)$ 와 chlorogenic acid $(RC_{50}=4{\mu}g)$는 강한 활성을 보였다.

Five samples (Bakwoonbae, Chungsilbae, Sandolbae, Dolbae, and Chuwhangbae) of Pyrus species differing in their origin of production were analyzed for total phenolic content, vitamin C content, and antioxidant activities. Two antioxidant activities were measured by the free-radical scavenging activity and reducing power method. Total phenolic content of the Chungsilbae extract (20.35 mg/g) was higher than those of other pears. Vitamin C content in five Pyrus species ranged from $420.32\;{\mu}g/g$ in Sandolbae to $659.75\;{\mu}g/g$ in Bakwoonbae. Chungsilbae also had the highest free radical scavenging activity (76.56%) and reducing power (0.35).

The effects of cultural temperature and nutritional components on the production of ethanol using juice of Pyrus serotina as the substrate for Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 4124 were studied. After anaerobic cultivation in 5L flask of a defined pear juice at 2$0^{\circ}C$, ethanol concentration of 11.5%(v/v) could be obtained. The addition of a small amount of K2S2O5 was essential for the successful production of ethanol. Ethanol concentration could be further enhanced by supplementing a small of various complex nitrogen sources. When 0.05% of yeast extract and 0.05% of (NH4)2HPO4 were added to a defined medium, ethanol concentration obtained after 7 day cultivation at 2$0^{\circ}C$ was 12.3%.

It is well known that inflammation is associated with neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer' disease, Parkinson's disease and ischemia. Nitric oxide (NO), a pro-inflammatory mediator, is produced by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in microglia as well as macrophages and appears to account for neurodegeneration. In this study, we aimed to isolate NO inhibitors from Pyrus pyrifolia by activity guided purification. As a result, we identified daucosterol and ${\beta}$-sitosterol, which have not been isolated from this plant before. This article also describes NO inhibitory activities of the methanol extract of Pyrus pyrifolia fruit and the isolated compounds from this, which are lupeol, betulin, betulinic acid, ${\beta}$-sitosterol and daucosterol, in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 and BV2 cell lines. Western blot analysis was performed to clarify the underlying mechanism of NO inhibition in the two cell lines.
