The use of polyphenol extracts from radiata pine (Pinus radiata) bark as raw materials for bio-foams was investigated along with the optimal NaOH extraction conditions. The targeted yield of alkaline extracts was 60%, and the targeted pH was 11 to 12. The radiata pine bark was composed of 70% of a 1% NaOH extract, which contained mainly polyphenols, such as proanthocyanidin (PA). As the particle size of the bark decreased, the yield of the 1% NaOH extracts increased from 57 to 87%. A range of NaOH concentrations, liquor ratios, and extraction times were explored to establish an economic polyphenol extraction method. More than 60% of the alkaline extract was extracted, and the pH of the extract was approximately 12 when the optimum extraction conditions were employed, i.e., a liquor to bark ratio of 5:1, a NaOH dosage of 17 to 18% based on the bark weight, and a 1 h extraction time. Following neutralization of the alkaline extract, structural analysis indicated severe structural changes in the PA during the alkaline extraction. Because the alkaline extract was barely soluble in the solvent used for the structural analyses, it is assumed that chemical modification is required to increase the solubility of the alkaline extract for the production of bio-foams.

In order to select the optimum ethanol concentration for extraction of volatile components in cinnamon, the dried cinnamon was extracted with water and 30∼90% ethanol. The volatile components of cinnamon extracts were isolated by the simultaneous distillation extraction method using Likens and Nickerson's extraction apparatus, and analyzed by GC-MS. In cinnamon bark powder 45 components were detected and 21 components were identified. The major component of cinnamon bark powder was cinnamic aldehyde. In water extract of cinnamon, volatile components were not extracted sufficiently. The volatile components of cinnamon were increased with the increment of ethanol concentraction upto 70%. The volatile component of 70% ethanol extract showed similar pattern and amount to cinnamon bark powder. But in 90% ethanol extracts, the number and amount of volatile component were reduced. The above data suggested that 70% ethanol was the most effective solvent for volatile components extraction of cinnamon.

Mulberry root bark is one of potential plant sources for antioxidant materials which can be used for the relief of oxidative stress. To explore the effects of solvent type and temperature on the structural characteristics and antioxidant activity of the root bark extracts, we prepared various extracts of mulberry root bark (Morus alba L.) using 0 - 100 % ethanol (EtOH) at RT - 100℃. EtOH concentration and temperature critically affected the extraction yields, the content of bioactive components, and antioxidant activity of the extracts. Use of high content of EtOH solvent and low temperature resulted in the low extraction yield. Meanwhile, it was revealed that the extract prepared using absolute EtOH at room temperature contained polyphenols and flavonoids with the highest contents among other extracts. Interestingly, the temperature differently affected the polyphenol and flavonoid contents according to the solvent types. In the case of 30% EtOH solvent, polyphenol and flavonoid contents increased with an increase in temperature, whereas in the case of 70 and 100 % EtOH, these contents decreased. Using the radical scavenging assay, it was confirmed that the 100% EtOH extracts had higher antioxidant activity compared to distilled water (DW) extracts regardless of temperature. Also, heating might extract more antioxidant components from the root bark. Especially, the extract prepared using 30% EtOH solvent at 100℃ showed the highest antioxidant activity. Taken together, these experimental results imply that the extraction parameters should be designed carefully considering the productivity, the extracted bioactive components, and antioxidant activity.

Paulownia coreana is a medicinal, edible and industrial plant with the largest leaf, and is native to Korea. We evaluated the reducing power activities, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities (RSAs), nitrite scavenging activities (NSAs) and 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) cation RSAs by solvent extraction of P. coreana bark by using $50^{\circ}C$ hot water and $25^{\circ}C$ methanol. The antioxidative effect of P. coreana bark extract on corn seed oil was evaluated using the Rancimat test. The extraction yields on dry weight basis with 15 folds of hot water and methanol were 23.88% and 5.30%, respectively; further the flavonoid content in the hot water extract was over 2.5 times more than that in the methanol extract. The DPPH RSA of the methanol extract was substantially higher than that of the water extract, whereas the NSA of the water extract was higher than that of the methanol extract at pH 1.2. The ABTS RSAs of the two extracts were almost the same as that of ascorbic acid and 2,6-ditertiarybutyl hydroxytoluene. The two extracts of P. coreana bark in this study were found to slightly improve the oxidation stability of corn seed oil.

본 연구는 홍삼 및 인진쑥에 70% 알콜로 추출하고 남은 알코올박과 물로 추출하고 남은 홍삼박 및 인진쑥박은 거의 이용되지 않는데 이 홍삼박 및 인진쑥박에는 다량의 활성 성분이 존재하므로 홍삼박 및 인진쑥박으로 부터 진세노사이드 Rg3 활성 성분을 효과적으로 추출할 수 있는 기술을 산업적으로 이용해 대량 생산 제조 공정에 대해서 조사하였다. 홍삼박 및 인진쑥박 모두 추출전보다 추출후 활성성분의 추출효율이 높았으며, 추출시간과 추출회수가 증가함에 따라 추출되는 진세노사이드 활성성분의 양이 증가하는 것으로 조사 되었다. 이와 같은 결과는 사포닌 함량과 사포닌 중 Rg3의 함량을 고려할 때, Rg3의 새로운 공급원으로서 유용함을 보여준다. 폐기되거나 재활용도가 낮은 박을 사용하고 Rg3의 함량이 높은 조사포닌을 제조할 수 있어 경제성이 탁월하다는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

SDE 및 SPME를 이용하여 계피로부터 추출한 휘발성 향기성분을 GC/MSD 분석한 결과 terpenes 20종, alcohol 3종, carbonyl 5종, esters 2종으로 총 30개의 휘발성 성분을 확인하였다. 이들 중 trans-cinnamaldehyde (86.4%), cis-cinnamaldehyde(0.9％), hydrocinnamaldehyde (0.1%) 등의 carbonyl 화합물이 peak area% 기준으로 약 88.2%로 계피 중 대부분을 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 식물체의 향기성분 분석에 많이 이용되는 SPME fiber 4종류를 비교 분석한 결과 terpen류 화합물들은 PDMS fiber에서 추출효율이 가장 좋았으며, cinnamyl alcohol과 같은 다소 극성인 화합물의 경우 DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber와 PA fiber에서 추출 효율이 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났다. SPME법에서 최적 조건을 설정하기 위해 추출온도와 추출시간을 달리하면서 비교 분석한 결과 copaene, murolene, cadinene, cis-cinnamaldehyde 등의 area% 값은 온도와 시간이 커질수록 증가한 반면에 trans-cinnamaldehyde의 area% 값은 감소하였다.

Most of the previous studies for bark recognition have focused on the extraction of LBP-like statistical features. Deep learning approach was not well studied because of the difficulty of acquiring large volume of bark image dataset. To overcome the bark dataset problem, this study utilizes the MobileNet which was trained with the ImageNet dataset. This study proposes two approaches. One is to extract features by the pixel-wise convolution and classify the features with SVM. The other is to tune the weights of the MobileNet by flexibly freezing layers. The experimental results with two public bark datasets, BarkTex and Trunk12, show that the proposed methods are effective in bark recognition. Especially the results of the flexible tunning method outperform state-of-the-art methods. In addition, it can be applied to mobile devices because the MobileNet is compact compared to other deep learning models.

Background: Inflammation plays an important role in various diseases, including ulcerative colitis, Behcet's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of Morus alba L. extracts obtained using different extraction methods (water extraction or high temperature extraction) on RAW264.7 cells. Methods and Results: Extracts from the central part (including the heartwood, sapwood, cambiun, and phloem) and bark (including the periderm and cortex) of Morus alba L. were obtained using either water or high temperature extraction. The following extract were obtained: MA1, water extract from the central part of Morus alba L., MA2, high temperature extract from the central part of Morus alba L., MA3, water extract from the bark of Morus alba L., and MA4, high temperature extract from the bark of Morus alba L. None of these extracts was observed to be cytotoxic to RAW264.7 cells. The MA2 extract reduced the production of LPS-induced NO (nitric oxide), $PGE_2$ (prostaglandin $E_2$), $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6, and $IL-1{\beta}$ production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Conclusions: These results indicated that the inflammatory response was moderated by MA2. Treatment with MA2 could be used as a natural medicine for treating diseases involving inflammation. However, further experiments are required to determine how the high temperature extraction method alters the active ingredients in the extract and influences the anti-inflammatory effects of Morus alba L..

The optimization and microwave assisted extraction of stem bark of Terminalia arjuna, quantitative estimation of the marker compounds arjunic acid and arjunolic acid using HPTLC and the evaluation of free radical scavenging activity has been performed in this study. The central composite design was used for optimization and the values of parameters for optimized batch of microwave assisted extraction were 1000 W (Power), 3 minutes (Time) and 1/120 (Solid/solvent ratio). The solvent system to carry out the HPTLC was toluene: acetic acid: ethyl acetate (5: 5: 0.5) and quantitative estimation was done using standard equations obtained from the marker compounds. The in-vitro free radical scavenging activity was performed spectrophotometrically using ascorbic acid as standard. The value of estimated percentage yield of arjunic acid and arjunolic acid was 1.42% and 1.52% which upon experimentation was obtained as 1.38% and 1.51% respectively. The DPPH assay of the different batches of microwave assisted extraction and marker compounds taken suggested that the marker compounds arjunic acid and the arjunolic acid were responsible for the free radical scavenging activity as the batch having the maximum percentage yield of the marker compounds showed best free radical scavenging effect as compared to standard ascorbic acid. The $IC_{50}$ value of the optimized batch was found to be 24.72 while that of the standard ascorbic acid was 29.83. Hence, the yield of arjunic acid and arjunolic acid has direct correlation with the free radical scavenging activity of stem bark extract of Terminalia arjuna and have potential to serve as active lead compounds for free radical scavenging activity.

본 연구에서는 저온고압 추출공정을 이용하여 전통적인 기존 추출공정과 비교함으로써 저온고압 추출공정에 의한 매자나무 수피의 항산화활성과 항암활성의 증진을 확인하고자 연구를 수행 하였다. DPPH radical 소거 활성은 5분 저온고압 처리한 추출물이 93%로 가장 높은 활성을 나타내며 대조군인 ascorbic acid의 95%와 유사한 활성을 나타내었다. 저온고압 추출공정을 통한 매자나무 추출물이 일반 열수 추출물과 비교해 xanthine oxidase 저해활성이 높게 나타났으며 특히 5분 저온고압 처리한 추출물이 56.68%의 높은 저해 활성을 나타냈다. 따라서 저온고압 추출공정을 통해 매자나무 추출물의 항산화 활성의 증진이 이루어졌음을 알수 있다. 항암활성 측정 결과, 매자나무 수피 추출물의 높은 항암활성을 확인하였으며 5분 저온고압 처리한 추출물의 암세포 억제 활성이 가장 높게 나타남에 따라 저온고압 추출공정을 통해 항암활성의 증진이 가능함을 확인하였다. 세포독성 측정 결과 5분 저온고압 추출물이 정상 세포에 대한 독성이 가장 높은데 반해 15분 저온고압 처리한 추출물의 세포독성이 제일 낮은 것으로 미루어 저온고압 추출물의 세포독성이 저온고압 추출시간의 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 매자나무 수피의 생체적용이 가능한 기능성 소재로서의 이용 가능성을 확인할 수 있으며 저온 고압 추출공정의 최적화를 통한 활성물질의 추출 극대화를 통해 높은 경제적 가치를 부여해 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
