The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant effects and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition activity of mulberry fruit extracts prepared by hot water (MFH) and 80% ethanol (MFE). Total polyphenolic contents of MFH and MFE were $195{\pm}3.4\;mg$ gallic acid equivalents/g MFH and $185{\pm}2.8\;mg$ gallic acid equivalents/g MFE. MFH and MFE significantly quenched 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydrogen peroxide dose-dependently, and showed high chelating ability and reducing power in non-cellular systems. MFH and MFE also inhibited the formation of intracellular reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation, and elevated intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels in RAW264.7 cells. In addition, MFH and MFE also dose-dependently suppressed AChE activity.

The antioxidant properties of methanolic extracts from the fruit of Prunus mume were determined in chicken breast meat systems. When P. mume extract (PM) was added to chicken breast meat, 2-thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) value at Day 3 was decreased by about $45\%$ of the control. PM did not affect color of chicken meat compared to the control. The amounts of volatile aldehydes and hydrocarbons were significantly decreased by the addition of PH. Especially, hexanal was the most predominant volatile compound in the control taking up almost more than $50\%$ of the total volatiles, and PM reduced the amount into $26\%$ of the control meat at 3 days.

The reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused the damage of macro molecules, many degenerative disease and cancer, which was produced in process of the aerotropic metabolic pathway as well as in response to the various genotoxic stresses. Recently, redox systems including the number of antioxidant proteins such as catalase, glutathione peroxidase, heam-containing peroxidase, peroxiredoxin and superoxide dismutase (SOD) has been reported to have chemopreventive effects. Antioxidant proteins has been known to have the activity directly removing ROS and affecting the protein-protein interaction and cell signaling to induce the cellular responses. We need to understand the mechanism of antioxidants prevent DNA damage from oxidative stresses for researching the cancer prevention and providing the development of cancer therapeutic drug.

As a part of an ongoing search for antioxidants from marine sources, antioxidant activities of 24 kinds of seaweeds (4 green algae, 8 brown algae, and 12 red algae) were investigated. The seaweeds were extracted by acetone/dichloromethane and methanol, respectively. The antioxidant properties of both extracts were evaluated using four different activity tests, including degree of occurrence of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), NO, lipid peroxidation, and GSH (glutathione) in mouse macrophage Raw 264.7 cells. The levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and GSH were measured using 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFDA) and monobromobimane as fluorescence probe, respectively. Moreover, the generation of NO and lipid peroxidation products were determined by each method based on the Griess reaction and TBARS assay. Solvent extracts from seaweeds such as Scytosiphon lomentaria, Prionitis cornea, Laruencia okamurae, Callophyllis japonica, Sargassum horneri, Dictyopteris divaricata, Lomentaria catenata, Corallina confuse, Ishige okamurae, and Ahnfeltiopsis flabelliformi exhibited high antioxidant activities in cellular oxidizing systems.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of fermentation on biological activity of Chelidonium majus var asiaticum and to screen effective starter culture strains. Antibacterial activity against to Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella gallinarum and antioxidant activity as free radical scavenging activity by using DPPH were tested. Total six starter culture strains, two of Lactobacillus brevis, one of Lactobacillus plantarum and three of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were used. Plant extract was prepared after fermentation by using ethanol. All strains showed normal growth in viable cell counts of fermented cultures and L. plantarum showed the highest cell growth significantly (p<0.05). In antibacterial activities of extracts, the activity was found only in the extract from the fermentation using L. plantarum. In antioxidant activity, the highest activity was shown in the fermentation using L. plantarum significantly (P<0.05). Newly produced spots in two of three elution systems on TLC-DPPH test were detected in the fermentation using L. plantarum.

Ion-exchange chromatography and ultra-filtration permeation were used to extract carnosine from the eel Anguilla japonica. In an investigation of its antioxidant properties, the eel carnosine prevented lipid peroxidation in linoleic acid systems, scavenged free radicals, and exhibited superoxide dismutase-like activity. These activities increased as the carnosine concentration increased. The nitrite scavenging effects (NSEs) of commercial carnosine and the eel carnosine were measured at various acidic pHs (1.2, 3.0, and 4.2). For both types of carnosine, the maximum NSE was observed at pH 1.2. At this pH, the NSE of the eel carnosine was 65.3%. Both types of carnosine were effective at maintaining reasonably good color of ground beef patties over 5 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and inhibited metmyoglobin formation as well as lipid peroxidation. These data suggest that the eel carnosine might be useful as a "natural" antioxidant in commercial production and storage of muscle foodstuffs.

This study employed high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to an on-line $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging detection (RSD) system along with HPLC-electro spin impact/mass spectrometry (ESI/MS), to rapidly determine and identify antioxidant compounds occurring in blueberry extract. The extract was separated by HPLC, and then the radical scavenging activities of the separated compounds were evaluated by the on-line coupled $ABTS^+$-RSD system. The negative peaks of the $ABTS^+$-RSD system, which indicates the presence of antioxidant activity, were monitored by measuring the decrease in absorbance at 734 nm. The active components in the blueberry extract were identified by HPLC-ESI/MS using their MS spectra and retention times. According to the data acquired from the on-line HPLC-$ABTS^+$-based assay and HPLC-ESI/MS systems, the antioxidant compounds detected in the blueberry extract were identified as chlorogenic acid and 11 anthocyanins.

Objectives : To evaluate the radical scavenging and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities of the ethylacetate (EtOAc)-soluble portion of a methanolic extract of Aster yomena, three different assay systems were performed. Methods : The antioxidant activity of A. yomena extract was tested as its capacity to scavenging free radicals of DPPH and $ABTS^+$, which has been widely used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of natural products from plant sources. AChE inhibitory activity was tested against mouse brain AChE by spectrophotometric method of Ellman using ELISA microplate reader. Results : The methanolic extract of A. yomena was fractionated and the EtOAc-soluble portion showed significant AChE inhibitory and free radical scavenging effects. Also the EtOAc-soluble portion revealed the highest phenolic contents as compared to the other extracts. Conclusions : These results indicate that phenolic compounds may be important constituents that give rise to the anti-AChE and antioxidative activities of A. yomena extract. Further phytochemical studies on this plant, for nutraceutical or pharmaceutical application, are warranted.
