Objectives : The objective of this study is to observe the effect of Saryuktangkamibang, Saryuktang with Liriopis Tuber, Lycii Fructus, Schizandrae Fructus, and Bombyx Batryticatus, on the experimental diabetes. Methods : In order to induce diabetes experimentally, injected streptozotocin to the vein in the tail of rats and then treated oral administration of Saryuktangkamibang water extracts. In the measurement of the variation levels of glucose, ALP, creatinine, and BUN concentration for each concentration levels for serum (0.2g/100g, 0.4g/l00g, 0.6g/100g), concentration level of glucose significantly decreased in 0.4g/l00g concentration level of Saryuktangkamibang. With this 0.4g/l00g concentration level of Saryuktangkamibang, the following conclusion was derived from the measurement of the serum levels of glucose. ALP, AST, ALT, creatinine, and BUN concentration for the injection of each 4th, 11th, and 18th day. Results : 1. In the measurement for each concentrations, the glucose concentration level in the serum significantly decreased on the 9th day in the Saryuktangkamibang-dosed group. 2. The creatinine and BUN concentration level in the serum significantly decreased on the 9th day in the Saryuktangkamibang-dosed group to which 0.6g/100g injected. 3. In the measurement for each dosage dates, the glucose concentration level in the serum significantly decreased on the 11th day in the Saryuktangkamibang-dosed group to which 0.6g/100g injected. 4. The AST concentration level in the serum significantly decreased on the 11th day in the Saryuktangkamibang-dosed group. Conclusion : Saryuktangkamibang, Saruktang with Liriopis Tuber, Lycii Fructus, Schizandrae Fructus, and Bombyx Batryticatus, has an effect of hypoglycemia, with no hepato-renal dysfunction. For the experimental results above, in that nephrotoxicity significantly decreased on the 0.6g/100g concentration, another research such as study for effect in other ranges and study for effect of dosage term except the concentration range of this study is necessary. Also dosage of appropriate concentration of Saryuktangkamibang is thought to provide valuable aid to cure on diabetes.

In this study, lotus root(Nelumbo nucifera G.) and omija(Schizandrae fructus), which have been used in oriental medicine and folks remedy, were examined to apply to functional foods. We prepared yanggaeng with lotus root, sugar, oligosaccharide, agar, omija extract solution and analyzed the nutritional composition(moisture, protein, fat, ash, crude fiber, carbohydrate, free sugar and minerals). Also we investigated texture profile and evaluated sensory characteristics of developed yanggaengs and 8 commercial ones. Potassium and crude fiber contents of yanggaeng with lotus root were higher than the commercial yanggaengs. Cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of lotus root yanggaeng were the same levels of commercial yanggaengs. Sensory evaluation with the ones, showed that the lotus yanggaeng was more desirable than the commercial ones. Yanggaeng with lotus had good scores in texture profile and sensory evaluation compared with commercial yanggaengs. These results demonstrated that lotus root hadsufficient values to use a foodstuff for yanggaeng.

Objectives : We investigated differances of physiological functionalities in the steamed Schisandrae Fructus. Methods : The samples were extracts of dryed schisandrae fructus without steaming process (S0), extracts of schisandrae fructus with three times steamed (S3), extracts of schisandrae fructus with five times steamed (S5) and extracts of schisandrae fructus with seven times steamed (S7). We analyzed contents of schisandrin, gomisin, total polyphenol and flavonoid and antioxidant activities. We researched antiinflammation effects for Raw264.7 cells. To evaluate liver protective activity, we measured AST, ALT and gamma-GTP in serum of alcoholic mice. Results : As the steaming number of schisandrae fructus increase, the contents of schisandrin and gomisin were more increased. The contents of total polyphenol of S5 and S7 were significantly increased compared to that of S0. DPPH free radical scavenging activities of S5 and S7 were significantly increased compared to that of S0, ABST radical scavenging activities of S3 and S5 were significantly increased compared to that of S0 in vitro. The NO production of all sample was significantly decreased compared to control, PGE2 release of S3, S5 and S7 were significantly decreased compared to control. IL-$1{\beta}$ release of S5 and S7 were significantly decreased. AST, ALT and gamma-GTP of S3, S5 and S7 were significantly decreased compared to control. Conclusions : We think that extracts of schisandrae fructus with steaming process may have more potential efficacy than a schisandrae fructus without steaming process.

Twenty kinds of medicinal herbs were extracted by water and 95% ethanol and then antimicrobial activity of the extracts was investigated against various kinds of microorganisms. Water extracts of Gardeniae fructus (Gardenia jasminoides), Lycii fructus (Lycium chinense) and Schizandrae fructus (Schizandra chinensis) showed inhibitory effects on the growth of most of the bacteria. In the case of ethanol extracts, the 3 kinds of the samples such as Gardeniae fructus, Schizandrae fructus and Lithospermi radix (Lithospermum erythrorhizon) showed inhibitory effects on the growth of almost all bacteria. In particular, ethanol extract from Phellodendri cortex (Phellodendron amurense) showed the best inhibitory effect on the growth of S. aureus in the concentration of 0.01%. By the way, inhibitory effects of water extracts from these medicinal herbs were not so good on the growth of fungi but those of ethanol extracts were better and ethanol extracts of Phellodendri cortex showed best. Antimicrobial activity was variable according to the used extracting solvent. For example, inhibitory effets of ethanol ext-racts were $2{\sim}100$ times better than those of water extracts. Ethanol extract of Lithospermi radix was the most effective not only bactericidal effects but also sensory evaluation tests for tastes.

This study was carried out to examine the effects of gamma irradiation on the color removal, antioxidation, DPPH radical scavenger, and antimicrobial activity of Schizandra fructus extracts by different solvents. Schizandra fructus was extracted by hot water, ethanol, acetone and methanol, and the extracts were irradiated 10, 20 and 30 kGy with gamma rays. Hunter color L-value was increased by irradiation in a dose-dependent manner, resulting in brighter color for all solvents used. The a and b values were decreased by irradiation in a dose-dependent manner. Antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of Schizandra fructus against soybean oil was the highest. The free radical scavenging activity was the strongest in hot water extract. All solvent extracts from Schizandra fructus had the strongest antimicrobial activities to B. subtilis, B. natto, B megaterium, S. aureus, Sal. typhymurium and E. coli. These results suggested that Schizandra fructus extracts have a strong potential as natural food preservatives and cosmetic raw materials. Furthermore, irradiation may not influence adversely on biological activites of the extracts when irradiated up to 30 kGy.
