An aqueous extract s of fresh ginseng roots was heated at loot for 64 hrs. and the changes of color intensity, pH and the amount of free sugars and amino acids during the various intervals of the heating time were investigated. Color intensity and absorbance of the solution at 490nm were increased in proportion to the length of the heating time. Most of brown pigments produced during the treatment were water soluble, and pH 5.1 at initial stage of the solution, was slightly decreased at the final stages of the reaction. Sucrose, glucose and fructose were major free sugars in ginseng roots, and the amounts of sucrose was over 90 % of total free sugars. Sucrose. was largely decreased approximately 50%, by 64 hrs of the treatment, whereas sharp increase in the amount of glucose and fructose was observed during the reaction in the solution. The observed increase in reducing sugars, glucose and fructose was presumed due to hydrolysis of sucrose. Evidently, glucose and fructose were not important factor to control the browning reaction of the solution. Most of free amino acids and peptides except alanine and isoleucine especially arginine, serine and threonine, were sharply decreased up to 40 : 50% of the original concentration within 2 hrs. Accordingly, the content of free amino acids and peptides seems to be extremely important factor to control the browning reaction in ginseng. A free amino acid, presumed to be nor-leucine, was found in fresh ginseng root on the basis of re mention on liquid chromatography. Kinetic analysis of the browning reaction indicated a pseudo second order with respect to amino acid concentration at the initial stage.

Unlike to natural organic matters (NOMs), effluent organic matters (EfOMs) are not well understood due to their complexity and heterogeneity. In this study, EfOMs from sewage and industrial wastewater treatment effluents and Suwannee River NOM (SRNOM) were isolated into hydrophobic (HPO), transphilic (TPI) and hydrophilic (HPI) fractions. Specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) and fluorescence excitation emission matrix (FEEM) analyses were used to characterize physicochemical properties. In addition, acute toxicity and oxidative stress to Daphnia magna were evaluated to characterize toxicological properties. EfOMs showed similar properties to microbially derived organic matters having low hydrophobicity, which are totally different from SRNOM having high hydrophobicity. Moreover, acute toxicity and antioxidant enzyme activity in D. magna was largely dependent on fraction types of EfOMs. These findings suggest that EfOMs have different physicochemical and toxicological properties compared with those of NOMs, which needs to be further identified with various sources of EfOMs.

The inhibitory activities of a water extract of Sanghwang mushroom(Phellinus linteusau)(SWE) against ${\alpha}$-glucosidases were evaluated in this study. Inhibiting these enzymes involved in the absorption of disaccharides significantly decreases the postprandial increase in blood glucose level after a mixed carbohydrate diet. Oxygen radical absorbance capacity and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl scavenging activities of the SWE were evaluated to investigate the antioxidant activity of the SWE associated with complications of long-term diabetes. Furthermore, the postprandial blood glucose lowering effect of SWE was compared to a known type 2 diabetes drug($Acarbose^{(R)}$) in a Sprague-Dawley rat model. SWE significantly reduced the blood glucose increase after sucrose loading. These results suggest that SWE, which has high ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity and high antioxidant activities, has the potential to contribute to a useful dietary strategy for controlling postprandial hyperglycemia.

Solvent extraction using a Schiff-base, salen$(NEt_2)_2$, as a chelating agent has been conducted on several water samples to study the determination of trace Cu(II), Mn(II) and Zn(II). Experimental conditions for the formation and extraction of metal complexes were optimized with an aqueous solution similar in composition to the samples. The matrix difference between the sample and standard solutions was approximately matched, and the pH of each sample solution was adjusted to 9.5 with $NaHCO_3/NaOH$ buffer. The concentration of salen$(NEt_2)_2$ was $7.3\;{\times}\;10^{-3}$ mol/L, and the complexes were extracted into MIBK solvent followed by the measurement of AAS absorbance. The potential interference of concomitant ions was investigated, but no interference from alkaline and alkali earth ions was shown in this procedure. The given procedure is precise, as judged from the relative standard deviation of less than 5% for five measured data. The recovery of 93-103% shows that this method is quantitative for such trace metal analysis.

The attractive features of photosynthetic reaction center proteins for energy application make them useful in solar energy conversion to hydrogen fuel or electrical energy. Almost unity charge separation quantum yield and its rapid speed of ~1ns, absorbance region in visible light (480~740 nm) and high proportion of photosynthetically active solar energy of 48.5% allowed photosystem1 to exploited as a bio-material for photo-energy devices. Directionality of photosystem1 in electron transfer can solve main problem in two-step water splitting process where back reaction deteriorates the overall efficiency. In the study, photosystem1 was extracted from spinach and the photo-induced excited electron in the reaction center was utilized in various field of light energy application. First, hydrogen evolving system realized by photodeposition of platinum at the end of the electron transfer chain, with combining specific semiconductor to oxidize water in the first step of Z-scheme. The evaluation by gas-chromatography demonstrated hydrogen evolution through the system. For the further application of photoelectrical material on electrode, photosystem1 have been controlled by copper ion, which is expected to assemble photosystem in specific orientation followed by maximized photoelectrical ability of film. The research proposed concrete methods for combining natural protein and artificial materials in one system and suggested possibility of designing interface between biological and inorganic materials.

The water extract of Saururus chinensis was investigated for oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), reducing capacity, metal chelating activity, and intracellular antioxidant activity using HepG2 cell. When 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) was used for the generation of peroxyl radicals in vitro, S. chinensis extract (SC-E) showed the strong and concentration-dependent scavenging activity through donating protons which could be explained by its reducing property. When hydroxyl radicals were generated in vitro through the addition of $Cu^{2+}$ and $H_2O_2$, SC-E demonstrated the antioxidant activity depending on its concentration. In HepG2 cell model, most of intracellular oxidative stress generated by AAPH was efficiently removed by SC-E. However, when $Cu^{2+}$ without $H_2O_2$ was used as an oxidant in the intracellular assay, SC-E partially reduced the oxidative stress caused by $Cu^{2+}$ in cellular antioxidant activity assay system. These results indicate that SC-E could be utilized for the development of functional foods as antioxidant resource in the near future.

In this study, newly improved Ferron assay test haved on timed spectrometry was used for the determination of hyolrolytic Al species presented in PACl coagulant. The color development reagent ferron was prepared by using conventional method and two newly developed methods. Then the ferron assay test was used to compare and analyze the distribution of Al(III) hydrolyzed species presented in the prepared PACl and alum. The preparing method of reagent A required an aging period of 7 days by adding a hydroxylamine hydroxide and a 1,10-phenanthroline monohydrate reagent, whereas the preparing method of reagent B was used as a coloring agent immediately without aging time. The regression analysis between UV absorbance and Al concentrations of conventional method and newly developed method of ferron reagents in low-concentration aluminum solutions and high-concentration aluminum solutions, showed the correlation coefficients of 0.999 or higher, as showing high correlations of conventional method and newly developed method. Applying Ferron assay test, Al species in the PACls and alum were classified as Ala(monomeric Al), Alb (polymeric Al), and Alc (colloidal and precipitated Al). Distribution of Al(III) hydrolyzed species according to the preparation of ferron colorimetric reagents was similar.

Acrylic resin or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is one of the most attractive materials to be used for dental appliances manufacturing. It has been introduced as a biomaterial during the last century. This study aims to evaluate the compounds absorption and release through acrylic resin to be used for drug delivery as well. The study specimens were 10 pieces of heat-cured clear acrylic resin with dimensions of 10 × 10 × 2 mm. The specimens were dipped in methylene blue solution at a powder-water ratio of 1:20 for 5 days. The samples were removed and dipped in 5 ml distilled water vials for 24 hours. Then the specimens were replaced into new 5 ml vials and the process lasted for 4 days. The extracted solutions were analyzed by the visible light spectroscopy for absorbance. The statistical results showed a gradual increase in stain release from day 1 to day 4 with a significant difference between day 1 and day 4 solutions. The study showed that PMMA resin is able to absorb and release some compounds constantly and the absorption drug-loading technique is applicable to this material.

추출용매와 조작순서를 달리하여 원료인삼 및 압출성형 가공시 인삼의 사포닌 함량 및 항산화 정도의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 인삼과 압출성형한 가공 인삼의 80% 에탄올 엑기스, 에틸아세테이트 분획, 수포화 부탄올 분획, 수층 분획을 각각 얻은 후 LC/MASS를 사용하여 사포닌 함량을 조사하고 기존의 여러 가지 항산화 작용 측정 방법들의 오류를 없애고 더욱 정확한 결과를 낼 수 있는 대처 방안으로 선정된 ORAC 분석법에 의해 항산화 활성을 검토하였다. 검체 인삼 중 사포닌은 ginsenoside Rb1과 Rg1 및 Re를 주요 성분으로 다량 함유하고 있었으며, Rb2, Rc, Rd 등이 뒤를 이었고, 그밖에도 Rg3, Rh1가 미량 분포하고 있었다. 압출 성형 인삼의 경우 원료 인삼에 비해 전반적으로 사포닌 함량이 높았으며, 주로 ginsenoside Re와 Rb1 및 Re가 많았고, 그밖에 Rc, Rb2, Rg1, Rh, Rd 등이었으며, 특히 원료인삼에서 미량 존재하던 Rh1과 Rg3가 많이 증가함을 보였다. 이러한 현상은 압출인삼의 에틸아세테이트층과 부탄올층에서도 같은 경향을 보였다. 원료 인삼의 에틸아세테이트층에서는 Rg1 함량이 높았고, 압출인삼에서는 Rh1과 Rg3가 많이 용출되었으며, Rg1, Re, Rb1 등이 용출되었다. ORAC 분석법에 의한 항산화 활성 연구에서 원료인삼 중의 여러 생리활성 성분이 많이 함유되어 있는 80% 에탄올 추출 분획과 일반적으로 극성의 사포닌 성분을 많이 함유한 수포화 부탄올층의 항산화 활성은 에틸아세테이트층과 수층에 비해 높았으나, 압출성형과정을 거치더라도 유의성 있는 증가는 없었다. 그러나 압출성형과정을 거친 압출 인삼의 에틸아세테이트층과 수층 분획이 대조 원료인삼의 각각의 분획들에 비해 모두 유의성($p$ >0.05)있는 증가를 보였다. 또한 원료인삼과 압출 인삼의 80% 에탄올 추출 엑기스, 에틸 아세테이트 분획, 수포화 부탄올 분획, 수층 분획 모두에서 일정 수준의 항산화 활성을 나태내고 있음을 확인할 수 있었고, 특히 인삼사포닌을 거의 함유하지 않은 원료인삼과 압출 인삼의 수층에서도 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 이는 인삼 중 항산화 활성은 에틸아세테이트 층으로 이행되는 폴리페놀 계통 성분 및 일부 비극성의 사포닌에 의한 것으로 추측되고 있으나, 모든 분획에서 나타난 것으로 보아 이들 외에 산성 다당체, 당단백질, 수용성 다당류, 말톨 등 다른 생리 활성 물질에 대한 연구가 요구된다.
