Studies on extraction and color characteristics of purple sweet potato (PSP) pigment were performed to provide the basic information for the utilization of PSP as a new source of natural food colorant. PSP pigment was extracted well with the polar solvents such as distilled water, ethanol, and methanol. but hardly extracted with the non-polar solvents. Among the tested solvents, 20% ethanol solution containing 0.1% citric acid was found to be the most efficient for extraction of the pigment from PSP. PSP contained high amount of pigment not only in the epidermis but also in the flesh of the potato. The PSP pigment was heat stable even under pretreatments such as autoclaving and blanching of the potato before extraction. The optimum temperature of the extraction for the PSP Pigment was decided to be $30^{\circ}C$ by considering the stability and the rate of extraction. The pigment was markedly influenced by the change of pH. The color of the pigment solution was red at the pH range of $1.0{\sim}3.0$, became blue at $7.0{\sim}8.0$, then turned green at $9.0{\sim}10.0$. A characteristic batho-chromic shift of the pigment solution was observed as the pH of the solution increased.

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of various commercial pectin enzyme treatments on juice yield from Aronia fruits (Aronia melanocarpa) as well as changes in physicochemical properties such as pH, total acid, reducing sugar, soluble solid, total anthocyanin, total phenolic compounds, and DPPH radical scavenging activity. Different types and reaction conditions of pectinase were also investigated in order to improve extraction yield of Aronia juice. The optimal conditions of enzyme treatment were 0.1% of concentration (w/w) at $50^{\circ}C$ for 120 min. Among enzymes used in this study, extraction yield with Rapidase Press L treatment from Aronia juice was the highest and resulted in a significant increase in juice from 51.0 to 69.1%. Rapidase C80 MAX showed 68.83% extraction yield while Plantase TCL showed 66.70% extraction yield. Reducing sugar and soluble solid contents increased after enzyme treatment. Total acids also slightly increased after enzyme reaction. No significant difference was observed in pH regardless of pectin enzyme treatment. However, enzyme treatment resulted in an increase in total phenolic compounds, total anthocyanin, and DPPH radical scavenging in Aronia juice compared to the juice prepared juice.

This study was conducted to develop a processing procedure for soft drink and wine from purple sweetpotato and to determine the color stability of purple sweetpotato anthocyanin pigment after production. Purple sweet potato soft drink was found to have 15.6% of total extraction, $11.8\;Brix^{\circ}%$ of sugar and pH 4.1, whereas wine had 12.6% of alcohol, $7.8\;Brix^{\circ}%$ of sugar and pH 4.9.Color stabilities of the soft drink and wine showed little difference after four-month storage from the time right after processing. The public found the soft drink that was made from 90% of purple sweet potato, 5% of citron and 5% of honey, more to their taste, rather than other soft drinks that were either made from 100% purplesweet potato or made from 80% of purple sweet potato, 10% of citron and 10% of honey. The public also found $45^{\circ}C$. of fermentation temperature more agreeable than that of $30^{\circ}C$. Powder, vinegar and anthocyanin pigment earned from purple sweet potato showed high stability, as they showed no change in color after four months in storage.

This study was carried out to develop a method of removing unnecessary sugars and high-molecular weight soluble components from water extract by using various highly porous polymer resins: these resins are widely used as adsorbents for polyphenolic compounds. Each anthocyanin-rich fraction (ARF) that was eluted from column packed with 4 different resins (SEPABEADS SP207, 700, 850 and Diaion HP 20) was obtained from an aqueous extract of the ripe fruits of Rubus coreanus, which is well-known in Korea as "Bok-bun-ja". Among the above mentioned resins, Diaion HP20 had the highest efficacy and provided maximum yield of the ARF. The ARF eluted from the column packed with HP 20 exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity in vitro. Bioactive phytochemicals extracted from Rubus coreanus were investigated using the on-line HPLC-$ABTS^{{\cdot}+}$ system, and the resulting 6 peaks were identified as radical-scavenging components. By using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, 5 peaks were obtained, and these were identified as cyanidin-3-sambubioside, cyanidin-3-glucoside, cyanidin-3-xylosylrutinoside, cyanidin-3-rutinoside and pelargonidin-3-rutinoside. These results indicate that the use of appropriate porous resin (Diaion HP 20) leads to an increase in the yield of bioactive components and enhancement of their biological properties.

Optimal extraction method for antioxidant compounds from coat of grape dreg was established. Extracts were prepared with ethanol solutions containing phosphoric, formic, acetic, HCl, TFA, and citric acids. Antioxidant compounds of grape coat were determined by HPLC analysis and evaluated for antioxidizing effects using in vitro model system. Peonidin-3-glucoside content was the highest in 0.1% HCl-added ethanol extract. The extract prepared from pure ethanol without organic acids showed the highest content of cyanidin-3-glucoside among samples tested. Resveratrol and quercetin contents, the most important antioxidants, were highest in 0,1% HCl-added extract. Electron-donating ability was high in 0.1% acetic acid-added extract. SOD-like activities were 95.08% and 94.39% in 0.1% formic and 0.1% citric acid extracts, respectively. Inhibitory effects on peroxidation of egg yolk lecithin were observed in phosphoric (60.51%), citric (59,27%), and formic acid (56,77%) extracts. Hydrogen radical-scavenging activity was 59.47% in 0,1% HCl extract. Results suggest addition of 0.1% HCl in ethanol solution affords the highest yield in antioxidant compounds and antioxidant activities.

Five extraction conditions (AE, autoclave extraction; OE, oven extraction; HWSE, hot water and sonication extraction; HWASE, hot water acidified with 0.5% (v/v) acetic acid and sonication extraction; and BE, boiling extraction) were examined to compare the effects of different hot water extraction methods on the antioxidant properties of blueberries. The extraction yields of the AE, OE, HWSE, HWASE, and BE were 7.94%, 8.35%, 8.55% 9.15%, and 8.50%, respectively. The polyphenol and flavonoid contents of AE were 3.47 mg GAE/g and 1.59 mg RE/g, respectively, which were highest centents among others. Those of OE were ranked second to the highest. The total anthocyanin content of HWSE (5.29 mg/g) was significantly higher than that of others whereas that of AE showed the lowest content (0.96 mg/g). The order of ABTS radical and alkyl radical scavenging activities was as follows: AE > BE > OE > HWSE > HWASE. The antioxidant properties were considerably correspondent with the total polyphenol and flavonoid content. DPPH radical scavenging activity was quite high in HWSE, AE, and BE extraction, however, there were no significant differences among the five extraction methods in the aspect of $Fe^{2+}$ ion chelating activities. Moreover, AE showed the highest SOD activity, and protected the dermal fibroblast the best against $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity. In conclusion, it was suggested that the autoclave extraction (AE) would be the most effective method for preparing blueberry hot water extracts with relatively high antioxidant activities.

Background: This study represents the first report that the anti-obesity activity of ethanol extracts of Aronia melanocarpa can be enhanced through ultrasonification at a frequency of 120 kHz at $60^{\circ}C$ (UE). Methods and Results: The amounts of cyanidin-3-O-galactose (cya-gal), a major anthocyanin in A. melanocarpa were higher by up to 402.4 mg/100 g, as compared with 221.4 mg/100 g and 322.1 mg/100 g, for hot water at $100^{\circ}C$ and 70% ethanol at $80^{\circ}C$ respectively. This result should cause the higher antioxidant activities of the UE than extract of hot water and ethanol in DPPH free radical scavenging. It was confirmed that the high antioxidant activity of UE could play an important role in inhibiting the production of proteins related to adipocyte differentiation, such as peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-${\gamma}$ (PPAR-${\gamma}$) and sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1). Conclusions: Ultrasonification at a frequency of 120 kHz at $60^{\circ}C$ should result in better anti-obesity activity than that observed using other processes. It was also observed for the first time that the anti-obesity activity of A. melanocarpa was associated with its antioxidant activity, possibly due to the higher elution of intact cya-gal, owing to efficient low temperature ultrasonification extraction. These results could also be applied to improve other biological activities of medicinal herbs that contain many types of heat-labile bioactive substances.

Metabolite profiling of blueberry (cultivar "Spartan") was performed by extraction using different solvents, methanol and ethyl acetate, through metabolomic analysis using LC-MS/MS. Unsupervised classification method (PCA) and supervised prediction model (OPLS-DA) provided good categorization of metabolites according to the extraction solvents. Metabolites of the anthocyanin family, including delphinidin hexoside, delphinidin, 5-O-feruloylquinic acid, malvidin hexoside, malvidin-3-arabinoside, petunidin-3-arabinoside, and petunidin hexoside, were mainly detected in methanol fractions, whereas those of the flavonoid family, including chlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid dimer, 6,8-di-C-arabinopyranosyl-luteolin, and luteolin were successfully prepared in the ethyl acetate fraction. Thus, metabolomic analysis of blueberry extracts allows for the simple profiling of whole and distinctive metabolites for future applications.

The object of this study was to measure the bioactivity and antioxidant activity of seed from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis fructus (GJE). GJE seeds were performed the extraction of them by chloroform:methanol (CM, 2:1, v/v), 70% ethanol and n-butanol. Sequentially, total phenol content, nitrogen oxide scavenging activity, antioxidant activity and lipid peroxidation inhibition activity of the extracts were investigated. Solvent extract bioactivity of increasing concentrations (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 mg/mL) were significantly increased (p<0.05). GJE seed extracts showed lower activity than positive control (ascorbic acid, BHA, trolox). The highest concentration of CM extracts was obtained in the same manner as the results of analysis of the total phenol contents of the GJE seed, and 70% ethanol extract showed the highest activity of reducing power. The water soluble carotenoids crocin and flavonoid were effective. As a result of this experiment. the seeds of GJE showed excellent antioxidant, and lipid peroxidation inhibitory properties.
