This study was carried to develop the new material of functional food which antioxidant of natural substances of sprouts. We compared antioxdiative activity and antioxidant substances exist in sprouts. Antioxidaive activities of sprouts were measured by total polyphenolic acid contents, electron donating activity(EDA), SOD-liked activity and hydroxyl radical scavenging ability. Total polyphenolic acid content was very higher in Rape sprouts extract(Rap) than other sprout extracts. Also Rape extract was showed the most excellent antioxdiative activity in SOD liked activity at 86.94%. The EDA was ordered Rape sprouts extract(Rap)>Tatsoi sprouts extract(Tat)>Broccoli sprouts extract(Bro)>Alfalfa sprout extract(Alf). Hydroxy radical scavenging ability was the most effective in Rape sprouts extract(Rap). Therefore we could be certain that Rape sprouts extract(Rap) was the most effective in antioxidative activity from sprouts.

This study is to find out the antioxidative effect and serum and liver lipid composition of wild grape juice in vivo. Forty 6-week-old white Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups such as normal lipid group, normal lipid group with wild grape juice, oxidized lipid (basic diet plus 10% of oxidative lipid) group and oxidized lipid group with wild grape juice, and 2ml juice was provided everyday. After 4 weeks of feeding with experimental diet each groups were examined for the antioxidant enzyme activity in blood and liver microsome and their serum and liver lipid composition. Glutanthione peroxidase activity in blood was significantly higher in oxidized lipid group with wild grape juice than in oxidized lipid group. Glutanthione peroxidase activity showed no difference depending on wild grape juice supplementation. Glutanthione peroxidase activity in liver was significantly higher in the groups with wild grape juice than in the groups supplemented only with oxidized lipid. Glutanthione reductase activity showed no difference depending on the supplementation of wild grape juice. Serum triglyceride level in the group supplemented with oxidized lipid diet and wild grape juice showed similar value to the normal lipid group and the normal lipid group with wild grape juiceoxidized fa6. Liver total lipid in the group supplemented with oxidized lipid and wild grape juice showed similar value to the normal lipid group and the group supplemented with normal lipid and wild grape juice. And it was lower than that of oxidative lipid group without juice. The liver triglyceride level in the group supplemented with normal lipid and wild grape juice was lower than that in the oxidative lipid group, but it was as low as in the group supplemented only with normal lipid.

Fermentative and antioxidative characteristics of red mustard leaf (RML) kimchi, a traditional, fermented Korean vegetable food, were investigated. For the study, RML kimchi was made of RML, with green onion, red pepper, garlic, ginger, and sugar, and fermented at 15$^{\circ}C$. The pH was decreased and total acidity was increased during fermentation. The contents of reducing sugar, total vitamin C, and total Phenol content were 2.36%, 65 mg%, and 59 mg% at the initial stage. Although the content of reducing sugar decreased gradually during fermentation, however, the quantity of ascorbic acid decreased with the tendency of slightly increased at 6 days, and the amount of total phenol was increased. CIE L*, a*, b＊values were increased until 6 days of the fermentation. In order to determine the antioxidative activity of RML kimchi itself, the model systems of RML kimchi were made with cooked beef. TBA values of RML kimchi which was fermented for 6 days showed the lowest level in model systems. Water, n-hexane, methanol extracts of RML kimchi had a considerable antioxidative activity with the inhibition of formation of peroxide during the autoxidation of linoleic acid mixtures in aqueous model systems.

This study was investigated on the antioxidant capacity of 80% ethanol extract of lotus root in vitro. The ex-traction yields of 80 % ethanol extract was 9.14%. Lotus root ethanol extract was fractionated by the following: n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate and n-butanol. n-Butanol fraction showed the highest ex-traction yield of all fractions. Antioxidative activities of different fractions were examined by l.l-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical generation, the Rancimat test, the nitrite scavenging ac-tivity and the thiobarbituric acid(TBA) method, and compared with the properties of the commercial antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT). The antioxidative capacity of the ethylacetate fraction was the highest among fractions and its fraction showed higher contents of total polyphenol. Furthermore, the antioxidative capacity of the ethylacetate fraction was similar to that of BHT. In conclusion, these results suggest that lotus root may be a good candidate as a natural antioxidant source.
