Effects of tocopherols and $\beta$-carotene on the oxidation of the solid model system of a free fatty acid mixture (64.5% of linolic acid ; 26.4% of oleic acid ; 5.0% of palmitic acid) with tocopherols and $\beta$-carotene were studied. $\alpha$-tocopherol revealed an antioxidant activity at the concentration below 0.05%, however, it showed a prooxidant activity when the concentration was higher than 0.05%. The antioxidant activity of ${\gamma}$ -tocopherol was not affected by the concentrations in the range of 0.01~0.10% in the model and ${\gamma}$-tocopherol showed higher antioxidant activity than that of $\alpha$-tocopherol. It seemed that $\alpha$-tocopherol was unstable compared to ${\gamma}$-tocopherol during oxidation. $\beta$-carotene showed a weak antioxidative activity at the initial stage of this system while $\beta$-carotene showed a prooxidant activity in the presence of tocopherol. $\beta$ -carotene was highly susceptible to autoxidative degradation during oxidation.

A cDNA encoding ${\gamma}-tocopherol$ methyltransferase (${\gamma}-TMT$) from Arabidopsis thaliana was overexpressed in lettuce (Latuca sativa L.) to improve the tocopherol composition. Seven lines of lettuce ($T_0$) containing the ${\gamma}-TMT$ transgene were produced by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The inheritance and expression of the transgene were confirmed by DNA and RNA gel blot analyses as well as quantification of tocopherols and ${\gamma}-TMT$ activities. The ratio of ${\alpha}-/{\gamma}-tocopherol$ content (TR) varied from 0.6 to 1.2 in non-transformed plants, while the $T_0$ plants had ratios of 0.8 to 320. The ratio ranged from 0.4 to 544 in 41 $T_1$ progenies of the $T_0$ transgenic line gTM3, and the phenotypic segregation indicated monogenic inheritance of the transgene (i.e., 3:1 = dominant:wild-type classes). There was a tight relationship between the TR phenotype and ${\gamma}-TMT$ activity, and enzyme activities were affected by the copy number and transcript levels of the transgene. The TR phenotype was stably expressed in $T_2$ progenies of $T_1$ plants. The results from this study indicated that a stable inheritance and expression of Arabidopsis ${\gamma}-TMT$ transgene in lettuce results in a higher enzyme activity and the conversion of the ${\gamma}-tocopherol$ pool to ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ in transgenic lettuce.

This study investigated the shelf life of emulsion-type sausages containing garlic powder and/or ${\alpha}$-tocopherol during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 0, 10, 20, and 30 d. Six groups of emulsion-type sausages were included: control (no additives), GP1 (1% garlic powder), GP3 (3% garlic powder), AT100 (100 IU of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol/kg of sausage), AT200 (200 IU of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol/kg of sausage), and GP1+AT100 (1% garlic powder+100 IU of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol/kg of sausage). During storage, the pH, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and residual nitrite content were reduced by the addition of garlic powder and/or ${\alpha}$-tocopherol relative to the control (p<0.05). In addition, emulsion-type sausages supplemented with garlic powder and/or ${\alpha}$-tocopherol improved color stability (p<0.05). The results suggest that a higher amount of garlic powder and their different combinations could improve the shelf life of emulsion-type sausages and protect against lipid oxidation.

The natural antioxidant such as e-tocopherol and synthetic antioxidant BHT were used to compare antioxidative effects of those antioxidants from the physico-chemical properties and fatty acid composition changes in the soybean oil due to number of frying. The composition of frying oil were consisted of a group(Fresh oil), B gorup(Fresh oil added with 0.05% ${\alpha}$-tocopherol), C group(Fresh oil added with 0.2% ${\alpha}$-tocopherol), D group(Fresh oil added with 0.1% BHT), E group(Tocopherol removed oil from oil by active alumina column chromatography The results obtained were as follws : 1. The color was determined by the Lovibond colorimeter color intensity increased number of frying oil. 2, The acid value, TBA value and Carbonyl value were increased number of frying oil. 3. Natural antioxidants less effective than BHT but effect of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol was very similar to that of BHT. 4. The order of antioxidative effect was 0.1% BHT, 0.2% ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, 0.05% ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, fresh oil, tocopherol remove oil.

To evaluate the antioxidant effect of flavonoids and a-tocopherol on purified fish oil(up to $40\%$ of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids), lipid peroxidation, and fatty acids content during storage and upon heating were determined. The potential of these compounds for inhibiting and delaying both oxidation and lipoxygenase processes was also evaluated. The oxidation of fish oil was effectively inhibited by flavonoids and a-tocopherol. The antioxidizing effect of these compounds increased in proportion to their concentration. The addition of a-tocopherol and catechin-a-tocopherol mixture were prolonged induction period of lipid oxidation by 3.5 to 4 times. All other flavonoids also shown more than twice the prolonging effect. Lipoxygenase activity was decreased by catechin and a-tocopherol effectively.

Linoleic acid 1% 완충용액에 3종의 phenolic acid류, 즉 caffeic acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid 및 인삼 추출물에 대한 산화방지 효과를 비교물질로 ${\alpha}-tocopherol$을 사용하여 MDA (malondialdehyde) 정량법과 headspace oxygen analysis로 측정 비교 하였다. MDA 생성량으로 비교한 산화방지 효과는 $caffeic\;acid{\geq}ferulic\;acid>{\alpha}-tocopherol>$인삼 추출물>vanillic acid 순으로 나타났으며, 이때 산화저해율은 각각 63.5, 62.9, 52.3, 51.2, 5.6% 이었다. 첨가된 인삼 추출물의 농도는 700 ppm, 그외 phenolic aicd류 및 ${\alpha}-tocopherol$의 농도는 각각 100 ppm 이었다. 또한 인삼 추출물에 caffeic acid와 ${\alpha}-tocopherol$을 각각 100 ppm 첨가한 결과 91.2%의 산화저해율을 나타내었다. Headspace oxygen analysis 에 따른 결과에서는 MDA 생성량으로 비교한 산화방지 효과와 유사한 경향으로 나타났으며, ferulic acid>caffeic acid>${\alpha}-tocopherol$>인삼 추출물>vanillic acid의 순 이었고, 이때의 headspace 중 산소 함량은 18.56, 17.78, 17.17, 16.65, 15.95%로 각각 나타났다.

본 시험은 육계 300수를 로즈마리와 $\alpha$-tocopherol acetate를 급여하여 5주간 사육한 육계의 생산성과 계육의 TBARS, 총미생물수, pH, 및 육색을 조사하였다. 육질 분석은 계육을 냉장 보관하면서 실험하였다. 시험구는 무첨가구를 대조구(Control)로 하고, 로즈마리 5 g/kg 급여구를 T1, 로즈마리 10 g/kg 급여구를 T2, $\alpha$-tocopherol acetate 200 mg/kg 급여구를 T3, 그리고 로즈마리 5 g/kg과 $\alpha$-tocopherol acetate 200 mg/kg 급여구를 T4 등 5개 처리구로 나누어 사양하였다. 육계의 증체량, 사료섭취량 및 사료요구율 등의 생산성은 유의성이 없었다. TBARS는 모든 처리구에서 저장기간이 경과하면서 증가하였고, T2, T3 및 T4에서 대조구와 T1보다 유의하게 낮아 로즈마리와 $\alpha$-tocopherol은 저장성을 향상시키는 결과이었다. 로즈마리 급여량이 많은 T2가 T1보다, 로즈마리와 $\alpha$-tocopherol 혼합 급여구에서 TBARS는 낮았다. pH는 저장기간이 지남에 따라 감소하였고, 처리구간의 유의성은 없었다. 총미생물수는 저장기간이 지나면서 모든 처리구에서 증가하였고, $\alpha$-tocopherol은 미생물의 감소 효과는 없으나 로즈마리와 로즈마리, $\alpha$-tocopherol 혼합 급여는 대조구와 T3보다 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 육색은 $L^*$, $a^*$, 및 $b^*$ 값은 저장하면서 모두 감소하였고, 로즈마리와 로즈마리, $\alpha$-tocopherol 혼합 급여구에서 $a^*$값이 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 로즈마리 및 로즈마리와 $\alpha$-tocopherol의 급여구에서 항산화 및 육색의 산화 안정성이 향상되었고, 혼합 급여구에서 시너지 효과가 있었다.

본 연구는 돼지 정자 동결시 taurine과 $\alpha$-tocopherol의 첨가가 융해후 정자 성상과 정자 기능 활성산소계(reactive oxygen species; ROS)의 발생 정도 및 지질 산화(lipid peroxidation, LPO)에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 시행하였다. 1차 및 2차 희석액내 taurine과 $\alpha$-tocopherol이 첨가된 돼지 동결정액의 융해 후 정자 운동성 양상, 정자 생존성, 정자 기법을 적용하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. Taurine(25mM, 50mM), $\alpha$-tocopherol($500{\mu}M,\;1,000{\mu}M$ 단일처리군 그리고 taurine과 $\alpha$-tocopherol의 혼합처리군($25mM\~500{\mu}M\~1,000{\mu}M$)은 동결$\cdot$융해 후 대조군과 비해 정자 운동성과 생존성은 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. Taurine과 $\alpha$-tocopherol의 혼합처리군 $50mM\~1,000{\mu}M$에서 HOST, 점체 반응이 대조군과 비교하여 유의차는 인정되지 않았으나 다소 증가하였다. 동결$\cdot$융해 정자의 ROS 발생 억제를 위한 taurine과 $\alpha$-tocopherol의 모든 처리군은 대조군과 비교하여$\cdot\{O_2}{^-}$ 발생을 유의적으로 완화시키지 못하였다. 그러나 taurine 단일처리군(25mM), $\alpha$-tocopherol 단일처리군($50mM,\;1,000{\mu}M$)과 혼합처리군($25mM\~500mM,\;50mM\~1,000{\mu}M$은 $H_{2}O_{2}$의 발생을 대조군과 비교하여 유의적으로 완화시켰다(P<0.05). 동결$\cdot$융해 정자의 malondialdehyde의 생산은 taurine과 $\alpha$-tocopherol의 모든 처리군에서 대조군과 비교하여 유의적인 감소를 보였다(P<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 돼지 정액의 동결보존시 taurine와 $\alpha$-tocopherol 같은 항산화제의 처리는 ROS 발생과 LPO을 효과적으로 완화시킴에 따라 돼지 정액의 동결보존 효율을 증진시킬 수 있는 유용한 방법이라 사료된다.

The effect of the saponin fraction extracted from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer on the absorption of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol in rat has been investigated and realized that the saponin fraction stimulated not only the absorption of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol (1.5-2 times that of control) but also its transport and excretion. ${\alpha}$-tocopherol is known to be transported mainly in the form of ${\beta}$-lipoprotein but the present study showed that the ${\alpha}$-tocopherol was transported in the form of albumin bound or micellar structure as well.
