The effect of ginseng glycosides and their aglycones on the thermodynamic characteristics of membranes from dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) was investigated. Total saponins (TS) from Korean red ginseng, Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, interacted with the Eel Phase of lipid in the Polar region and did not penetrate the deeper glycerol backbone of lipid molecule. From the all investigated components of TS (aglycons and ginsenosides), only 20-(S)-panaxadiol (PD) had an effect similar to TS. High concentration of TS penetrated in hydrophobic Cl-C8 region. The presence of cholesterol did not influence the interaction of TS with DPPC. An elimination of transition, however, took place at 10~100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of TS. DPPC had a low ability to interact with cholesterol (CHL) as compared with other lecithins except ethanolamine. From our results, only TS and PD, at high concentrations (100 mol%), influenced the phase transition of mixture of DPPC:CHL.

Eight flavonoids, apigenin-6-C-β-D-glucopyranosy l-8-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (AGG), quercetin 7-O-β-D­glucopyranoside (QG), luteolin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (LG), quercetin 7-O-(6'-O-acetyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (QAG), luteolin 7-O-(6'-O-acetyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside(LAG), quercetin (Q), luteolin (L) and acacetin 7-O-β­D-glucuronide (AG) were determined by HPLC in the safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) leaf during growth and processing. During growth, levels of five flavonoid glycosides (AGG, QG, LG, QAG, & LAG) in the leaf increased progressively at over time according to growth stages, reached a maximum before June 11, and then decreased sharply, while those of three flavonoid aglycones (Q, L, & AG) increased greatly at the early stage of growth, reached a peak before May 28, and then decreased rapidly. During the steaming process, contents of five flavonoid glycosides increased rapidly with increased steaming time, reached a maximum after 5 min of steaming, and then decreased, whereas those of flavonoid aglycones except for AG decreased sharply with increased steaming time. During the roasting process, contents of three flavonoid glycosides decreased rapidly with increased roasting time, whereas those of two acetylflavonoid glycosides (QAG & LAG) and three flavonoid aglycones increased progressively with increased roasting time, reached a maximum after 3 min of roasting, and then decreased. These results suggest that appropriate steamed and roasted safflower leaves are a rich source of flavonoids, and may be a good source of bioactive components as a functional leaf tea.

Meju, a major ingredient of doenjang which is a popular Korean traditional fermented soyfood, was manufactured by fermenting steamed soybeans in natural environment in which steamed soy was exposed to airborne microorganism, in particular, fungi. Total isoflavone content was reduced from 1,849 mg/kg of cooked soy to 816 mg/kg of meju at the $90^{th}$ day of fermentation. Total glycosides and aglycones of isoflavones in meju were 1,827 and 22 mg/kg at 0 day and changed into 487 and 329 mg/kg at the 90th day of fermentation, respectively. Meanwhile, the ratio of glycosides to aglycones of isoflavones was not changed during aging of doenjang but remained relatively constant with 592 and 644 mg/kg aglycones at the 0 and $160^{th}$ day, respectively. When cooked soy was fermented with Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus flavus, isoflavone profiles were significantly different from each other while A. oryzae caused more extensive metabolism of isoflavones than A. flavus.

Background: In this study, the radix of Astragalus membranaceus Bunge extract fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Weissella cibaria, and Pediococcus pentosaceus to increase the levels of isoflavonoid aglycone contents. Methods and Results: In order to change the in isoflavonoids, we fermented the radix of A. membranaceus extracts with microorganisms that have β-glucosidase activity. Besed on the β-glucosidase activity, we selected three strains, Weissella cibaria, Pediococcus pentosaceus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. HPLC analysis revealed that the levels of isoflavonoid aglycones were increased in all fermentation cases, and the extracts fermented by S. cerevisiae showed the highest levels of isoflavonoid aglycones. We evaluated the antioxidant activity, anti-wrinkle effects and whitening effects of the S. cerevisiae-fermented extracts using the DPPH assay, tyrosinase inhibition activity assay, and collagenase inhibition activity assay. We confirmed higher activity in S. cerevisiae-fermented extracts than in control, with the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) value of 565.1 ± 59.1 ㎍/㎖ in DPPH radical scavenging activity, tyrosinase inhibition rate of 78.4 ± 0.9%, and collagenase inhibition rate of 83.8 ± 1.1%. Conclusions: We selected three stains of microorganisms showing high β-glucosidase activity, W. cibaria, P. pentosaceus and S. cerevisiae. Isoflavonoid glycones in the radix of A. membranaceus were converted to isoflavonoid aglycones by fermentation. In addition, the fermented radix of A. membranaceus exhibited antioxidant activity, anti-wrinkle effect, whitening effect and radical scavenging activity.

Distribution of isoflavones and fatty acids in soymilk fermented with 7 Lactobacilli (L-type), 7 Bifidobacteria (B-type), or 5 Streptococci (S-type) were monitored. Total isoflavones in fermented soymilk ranged from 5.24 to $8.59{\mu}mol/g$ dry basis while those in unfermented soymilk were $8.06{\mu}mol/g$ dry basis. Depending on the types of inoculated microorganisms, fermented soymilk showed different profiles in isoflavones, especially aglycones and $\beta$-glucosides. Four L-type fermented soymilk had significantly higher aglycone content (33.69-46.21%) and low $\beta$-glucosides compared to control (p<0.05). All B-type fermented soymilk showed significantly high aglycone levels (p<0.05). Out of 5 Streptococci, 4 strains produced over 82.2% aglycones. Lipid content ranged from 162 to 224 mg/g and linoleic acid was the highest, followed by oleic, linolenic, palmitic, and stearic acids. Average ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids in control, L-, B-, and S-type fermented soymilks was 6.30, 6.09, 6.30, and 5.94, respectively. This study can help to develop a fermented soymilk containing high isoflavone aglycones and low fat content.

다양한 생리활성을 갖는 flavonoid 화합물이 감귤에 비활성 형태의 배당체 화합물로 다량으로 존재하고 있으므로 비활성 형태의 flavonoid 물질을 활성 형태의 flavonoid 무배당체 물질로 변환 시켜 활성 형태의 flavonoid 화합물을 증가하고자 하였다. 무배당체 화합물로 전환하기 위하여 시판되고 있는 당 분해효소 중 amylase가 주성분인 AMG 300L, pectinase가 주성분인 Pectinex 100L 및 cellulase, $\beta$-glucosidase, xylanase가 주성분인 Viscozyme 등을 단독 또는 혼합 처리하여 생리활성이 우수한 무배당체 화합물의 함 량을 증가할 수 있었다. 감귤에 함유되어 있는 flavonoid 화합물의 함량은 naringenin이 $100\∼200\;ng/g$(감귤건조중량), hesperetin이 1$100\∼220\;ng/g$(감귤건조중량) 정도이었으나 당분해효소를 처리한 감귤에 함유되어 있는 활성형 flavonoid 화합물인 naringenin이 $1539\∼6674\;ng/g$(감귤건조중량), hesperetin이 $1974\∼8906\;ng/g$(감귤건조중량)으로서 본 실험 결과를 통해 감귤 추출물의 flavonoid 화합물의 함량을 약 $10\∼80$배 정도로 증가시킬 수 있었다. 당 분해 효소에 의한 무배당체로의 최적 전환조건으로는 당 분해 효소의 $5\%$ 첨가, pH $5\∼7$이었으며 효소 반응 시간으로는 $24\∼48$시간이 가장 우수하였다. 따라서 본 연구에 의해 제조된 감귤 조성물에는 생리활성이 우수한 활성형의 무배당체 flavonoid인 naringenin과 hesperetin을 다량으로 함유하고 있어 기능성 식품, 건강 보조식품, 가공 식품의 식품 원료나 사료 첨가제 의 용도로 유용하게 사용할 수 있다.

본 연구는 잠재적인 생균제제 Lactobacillus plantarum P1201을 이용하여 갈색콩 두유의 젖산발효 중 이화학적 특성, 총 phenolics, isoflavone 함량 및 항산화 활성 변화를 연구하였다. 갈색콩 두유는 발효가 진행됨에 따라 pH가 최종 4.03으로 감소하였으며, 이에 따라 총산이 증가하여 발효 후(60시간) 1.03%를 나타내었다. 생균수 역시 11.55log cfu/g으로 발효 과정 중 점차적으로 증가하였다. 총 phenolics 함량은 발효 전 2.87mg/g에서 발효 후 2.98mg/g으로 약간 증가하였다. Isoflavoneglycosides 및 -malonylglycosides 형태는 감소하였고 -aglycones 형태는 증가하였다. 특히 발효 초기 isoflavone-aglycones 함량은 38.30㎍/g에서 증가하여 발효 36시간째 84.31㎍/g으로 최대치를 나타내었고 이후에는 감소하였다. 발효 36시간째 isoflavone-aglycones 형태인 daidzein, glycitein 및 genistein의 함량은 각각 24.12㎍/g, 25.25㎍/g 및 24.71㎍/g이었다. 한편 DPPH 및 ABTS 라디칼 소거활성 및 환원력은 발효 중 서서히 증가하였다.
