Korean raspberry, Rubus coreanus Miquel (RCM), contains high concentrations of phenolic compounds, which prevent oxidative stress. To determine the effect of RCM on antioxidant capacity in humans, we assessed in vivo lipid oxidation and antioxidant enzyme activities from plasma in 15 healthy men. The subjects ingested 30 g of freeze-dried RCM daily for 4 weeks. Blood was taken at baseline and at the end of the study to determine blood lipid profiles, fasting plasma glucose, liver function, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzyme activities. RCM supplementation had no effect on blood lipid or fasting plasma glucose concentrations but decreased alkaline phosphatase activity. RCM supplementation increased glutathione peroxidase activities (P<0.05) but had no effect on lipid peroxidation. These results suggest that short-term RCM supplementation may offer health benefits by enhancing antioxidant capacity in a healthy population.

This study was performed to determined the antioxidant activities, anticancer and immuno-activities of anthocyanin fraction from Rubus coreanus Miquel fruits (Bokbunja). Anthocyanin fraction extracted from Bokbunja revealed the presence of three anthocyanin components, which were tentatively identified as cyanidin 3-O-sambubioside, cyanidin 3-O-xylosylrutinoside and cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside using RP-HPLC/DAD/MS. The anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja always showed reducing power and high scavenging activities against DPPH, hydroxy radical (OH) and superoxide anion radical ($O_2{^-}$) similar to general synthetic antioxidant and polyphenol compounds from plant origin. Anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja showed high inhibition on proliferation of LNCaP and A549 cells and did not inhibit the proliferation of other cancer cells. Immuno-activities of Anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja were investigated, it showed high promotion of human B and T cells growth about 50% and secretion of IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ by treatment after 6 days. Over all, the result of the study suggest that anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja displays antioxidant activity comparable to that general synthetic antioxidant, also, anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja are expected to be good candidate for development into source of anticaner and immuno-activator agent in food industry.

The specific immune response of unripened fruits and ripened fruits of Rubus coreanus Miquel was examined in BALB/C mice. The 70% ethyl alcohol extracts (20 or 100 mg/kg) of unripened fruits (RCE-I) and of ripened fruits (RCE-II) were administered p.o. once a day for 7 days. RCE-I and RCE-II decreased the viability of thymocytes, but increased the viability of splenocytes. Also, RCE-I enhanced the population of helper T and cytotoxic T cells in thymocytes and RCE-II enhanced the population of helper T cells. Furthermore, RCE-I and RCE-II decreased the population of B220/sup +/ cells and Thy1/sup +/ cells and helper T cells in splenocytes. In a general way, the immunosuppressive action of RCE-I was more potent than those of RCE-II. These results suggest that RCE-I and RCE-II have a regulative action of immune response via decrease the viability of thymocytes and increase the viability of splenocytes.

In this study, Bokbunja (Rubus coreanus Miquel) was used with a Demi-glace sauce to compare and analyze the effect of different amounts of Bokbunja (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40%) on the physico-chemical qualities of the Demi-glace sauce. The moisture content of Demi-glace sauce increased but crude protein, crude lipid, and crude ash decreased as the amount of added Bokbunja increased. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 43.33%, whereas Bokbunja Demi-glace sauces ranged from 83.13~86.40%. As the amount of added Bokbunja increase, pH decreased, and acidity of the Demi-glace sauces increased. Sauce sweetness was significantly different between each sample (p<0.01). Salinity decreased, but viscosity increased as the amount of added Bokbunja increased. Color L, a and b values decreased significantly, as storage period increased. The sensory property results showed that the 20% and 30% Bokbunja sauces were higher than the others. The 20% Bokbunja sauce was the most preferred with regards to the balance of a steak containing this sauce with a score 5.34 points.

Methanol extracts of Rubus Coreanus Miquel (RCM) were found to exhibit apoptosis induction of U937 human histiocytic leukemia cells. Treatment of RCM exerted strong cytotoxicity against U937 human leukemia cells. RCM induced apoptosis of U937 leukemia cells in a dose dependent manner. Nitric oxide (NO) production was increased in RCM-treated RAW264.7 macrophage cell line. RCM increased the p53 and $NF{\kappa}B$ gene and decreased the $I{\kappa}B$ gene expression in U937 cells. RCM also increased the $NF{\kappa}B$ protein expression, but decreased the PCNA and BcL-xL protein expression in cultured U937 cells. These data suggest that RCM are effective on the apoptosis induction of human leukemia cells and anti-cancer properties.

The potential biological activities of water and ethanol extracts from two varieties of Rubus coreanus Miquel fruits produced in the Gochang-gun (GR) and Hoengseong-gun (HR) regions of Korea were examined. The hydroxyl radical ($\cdot$OH) scavenging activity, reducing power, lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity, and antiproliferative activity on cancer cells by these extracts were examined, and $\alpha$-amylase and $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibition assays were also performed. The EtOH extract from GR showed high hydroxyl radical scavenging activity ($EC_{50}=119.47{\pm}5.13\;{\mu}g/mL$), lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity ($EC_{50}=213.45{\pm}3.14\;{\mu}g/mL$) and a concentration dependence, with OD values ranging from 0.15 to 0.56 (50 to 200 ${\mu}g/mL$), for reducing power. The EtOH extract from GR has the highest antiproliferative activities on MDA-MB-231 and HepG2 cancer cells among four extracts. Meanwhile, all extracts showed certain $\alpha$-amylase and $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibition activities. These results indicate that extracts from two varieties of R. coreanus fruits have significant antioxidant, anti-diabetic and anti-tumorigenic activities, which suggest these extracts could be a potential source for pharmaceutical.

This study was investigating the anti-obesity effects of diets with a mixture of cheese, red ginseng and fermented mature fruit of Rubus coreanus Miquel. We fed the experimental diets (SC5, SC10) supplemented with 5% or 10% cheese containing of fermented mixture, then orally administered the extract of fermented mixture (RB100, RB300) at a concentration of 100 or 300 mg/kg body weight to SD rats with high fat diet (HFD). The results were as follows: Sample cheese groups decreased visceral fat mass and adipocyte size of stomach compared to that of HFD group. Additionally, lipid droplets of liver in sample cheese groups were smaller than that in HFD group. The serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (tChol), glucose, leptin, and insulin levels in sample cheese group were lower than that in HFD group. But, the serum adiponectin and HDL-cholesterol (cHDL) levels were higher than that in HFD group. These results suggest that fermentation of red ginseng and Rubus coreanus mixed with cheese might be helpful in preventing obesity in high fat diet-fed rats.

This study was performed to improve antioxidant activities and skin-whitening effects of Rubus coreanus Miquel extracts by nano-encapsulation. R. coreanus was extracted at $60^{\circ}C$ and encapsulated by lecithin and gelagine. Nano-encapsulated extracts showed highest free radical scavengering effect as 97.62% in adding sample ($500\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$), compared to the extracts from conventional processes. It was showed strong inhibition effect on melanin production test by Clone M-3 cells as 55.23%. High inhibitory potency on tyrosinase was also measured as 155.8% by adding nano-sample of 1 $mg/m{\ell}$. The improvement of biological activity was demonstrated by real time confocal microscope. We could consider that the water soluble extracts of R. coreanus could be definitely enhanced by nano-encapsulated as a potent natural resources for antioxidant and skin-whitening agent.
