본 연구는 천연소재용 이용하여 식품 저장성과 안전성 향상을 위한 식품첨가제나 보존제등의 개발 가능성을 알아보고자 민간에서 사용되어 온 노박덩굴 분획물에 대한 항산화 효과 및 항균활성을 측정하였다. DPPH free radical 소거활성을 측정하여 항산화 활성효과를 알아 본 결과 COMB층이 $39.75{\mu}g/ml$에서 50%의 DPPH free radical의 소거활성을 보여 가장 높은 항산화 효과를 나타내었다. ROS 제거활성 측정결과에서도 COMB층이 가장 높은 항산화 효과를 나타내었으며 $4.73{\mu}g/ml$에서 50%의 ROS 제거 활성을 나타내어 positive control로 사용한 trolox와 거의 유사한 제거활성을 보였다. 그리고 $ONOO^-$ 제거활성 역시 COMB층이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 특히 positive control인 penicillamine 의 IC50값인 $4.34{\mu}g/ml$과 비교하였을 때 더 높은 제거 활성 효과를 나타내어 높은 항산화 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 paper disc method를 이용한 항균효과 실험 결과, 사용한 모든 균주에서 COMH층을 제외한 COMM, COMB 및 COMA층이 항균활성을 나타내었다. 특히 bacillus subtilis에서는 COMH층을 제외한 모든 층에서 농도에 비례하여 항균력이 점차 증가하였으며, 전반적으로 COMM층과 COMB층에서 높은 항균활성을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과를 종합해보면 항산화효과는 노박덩굴의 butanol 분획층인 COMB층에서 가장 높았으며 그 다음으로 COMM 순이었다. 항균 효과는 사용한 모든 균주에서 methanol 분획층인 COMM 층이 전반적으로 높은 항균활성이 나타났으며 COMB층이 다음으로 높은 항균활성을 나타내었다. 이 상의 결과로 노박덩굴의 butanol 분획층인 COMB층과 methanol 분획층인 COMM 중에서 항산화 활성과 항균력을 나타내는 효과적인 생리 활성물질이 함유되어 있을 것으로 사료되어 지며, 앞으로 더욱 심도 있는 연구용 통하여 천연 항산화제, 천연식품보조제 및 천연 항균제등의 기능성 식품으로서의 활용가능성을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The root of Vitis amurensis Ruprecht, a sort of wild-growing grape, has been used in oriental medicine for treatment of skin ailments; however, its dermatological activity is not sufficiently understood. The aim of this study was to investigate tyrosinase inhibitory and anti-melanogenic activities of V. amurensis Ruprecht root methanol extract (VARM) in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells and to attempt to isolate and identify the active compound issued from VARM. MATERIALS/METHODS: Anti-melanogenic activity of VARM was analyzed in ${\alpha}$-melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)-stimulated B16F10 cells through evaluation of antioxidative activity as well as inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin contents compared with those of kojic acid and arbutin. After anti-melanogenic analysis of VARM, serial fractionation, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and thin layer chromatorgraphy (TLC) were applied for identification of active compounds contained in VARM. RESULTS: VARM significantly inhibited oxidative stress and tyrosinase activity and attenuated ${\alpha}$-MSH-induced melanin production in B16F10 cells. For isolation of active compounds, VARM was fractionated using a series of organic solvents, including dichloromethane ($CH_2Cl_2$), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and n-butanol (n-BuOH). Among fractions showing anti-melanogenic activity, the CH2Cl2 fraction induced the most potent attenuation of melanogenesis without cytotoxicity and the major compound in the $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction was identified as betulinic acid. Betulinic acid isolated from the $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction of VARM significantly attenuated ${\alpha}$-MSH-induced melanogenesis in a dose dependent manner, which was stronger than that of arbutin used as a positive control. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that VARM inhibits oxidative stress, tyrosinase activity, and ${\alpha}$-MSH-induced melanogenesis in B16F10 cells, due primarily to the active compound, betulinic acid, in the $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction.

The leaves of Hippophae rhamnoides were extracted with methanol and then further fractioned with hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol and water in order to investigate biological activity. Two flavonol glycosides were isolated and identified from ethyl acetate soluble fraction, which showed the strongest antioxidant activity ($RC_{50}$ = 4.33 ${\mu}g/ml$). Isolated two compounds have shown strong free radical scavenging activity. Especially, quercetin 3-O-glucoside ($RC_{50}$ = 2.60 ${\mu}g/ml$) was more active than ${\alpha}$-tocopherol ($RC_{50}$ = 4.67 ${\mu}g/ml$). Total phenol and flavonoid contents were the highest to 4.17 and 1.14 mg/ml in the ethyl acetate soluble fraction. In addition, ethyl acetate soluble fraction was shown to the strongest ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}$ = 137.88 ${\mu}g/ml$) among the fractions. The results suggest that leaves of H. rhamnoides could be a potential source of natural antioxidant.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odor materials are major sources of air pollution in Ulsan city, where much chemical plants are located. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new reactor which can remove VOCs and odor materials effectively and be equipped at the end of pipe easily. A modified reactor (bioscrubber trickling filter, BSTF), which have both characteristics of biofilter and bioscrubber, was developed and tested on its reactivity with several VOCs using two types of media, fiber and activated carbon 4- ceramic(A/C). It was observed that the removal efficiencies of several types of VOCs such as acetaldehyde, ethylalcohol, butanol, diethylamine and triethylamine were up to $95\%$ when they had about 100 ppm of initial concentration and 80 seconds of residence time. Good attachment of microorganisms to both media, where it is thought the reaction efficiency can be determined according to the amount of microorganisms attachment, observed with scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Initial pressure drops of the packed bed with both media were 229 $mmH_2O/m$ at A/C column and 670 $mmH_2O/m$, respectively. However, maximum pressure drop of fiber column during the operation was over 1,647 $mmH_2O/m$. Therefore, it was thought that the fiber material would not suitable to use in the local plant as a packed bed media.

To establish the anti-diabetic(α-glucosidase inhibitory) activity of D. lotus leaf extract, isolate and identify the constituents responsible for the activity. The methanolic extract of leaves was partitioned between water, n-butanol and ethyl acetate. Bio-assay guided fractionation, based on inhibition of ;${\alpha}$-glucosidase, allowed isolation and identification of the active components. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry(LC/MS), ¹ H-NMR and ¹³ C-NMR spectra analyses demonstrated that the active compound was myricetin-3-O-;${\alpha}$-L-rhamnoside(1). Compound 1 demonstrated a strong inhibition on the α-glucosidase, in vitro and ;${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory value was calculated as 98.08%, when that of a reference drug, acarbose was estimated as 83.03%. The present study indicates compound 1 could be considered as an ;${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor and developed as an important antidiabetes agent for type II diabetes therapy.

Background: Research on hot water extracts of medicinal plants that are easily applicable in the clinical setting is essential. To confirm the anti-inflammatory-related active compounds present in the hot water extract of Eriobotrya japonica leaves, ability to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production was measured and active compounds isolated from the extract were analyzed. Methods and Results: Sovent fractionation by solvent was performed to identify the active compounds present in the hot water extract, and the ability of the extract and the fractions obtained to inhibit NO production was measured. Subsequently, based on the results of liquid chromatography (LC) profile analysis of the n-butanol fraction that had a relatively high inhibitory ability of NO production, six subfractions were separated around the main peak. Among the separated subfractions spectra from mass spectroscopy (MS) were analyzed and standard comparisons were performed on the compounds of the three main peaks on the chromatogram. NO production inhibitory activity of subfraction 2 identified as neochlorogenic acid was the highest with an IC₅₀ of 18.49 ㎍/㎖ followed by that of subfraction 5 identified as cryptochlorogenic acid with IC₅₀ of 25.82 ㎍/㎖. Conclusions: Our result, it was confirmed that several caffeoylquinic acids, including neochlorogenic acid and cryptochlorogenic acid present in the hot water extract of E. japonica leaves have an important role as compounds exhibiting anti-inflammatory activity.

Objectives : Agrimoniae Herba is a herbal medicine widely distributed in Asia and contains flavonoids including catechin, quercitrin, rutin, hyperoside, and quercetin. This study aimed to investigate the anti-oxidant activity and skin barrier function of different solvent fractions (Hexane; methylene chloride, MC; ethyl acetate, EA; n-butanol, Bu; Water) obtained from Agrimoniae Herba. Methods : Anti-oxidant activity of different solvent fractions obtained from Agrimoniae Herba was investigated through total polyphenol contents, total flavonoid contents, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity, and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity measurements. Then, filament aggregating protein (Filaggrin), Type I collagen, ceramide synthase (CERS) 3, and CERS4 were analyzed to evaluate the skin barrier strengthening effect of different solvent fractions obtained from Agrimoniae Herba on UVB-stimulated HaCaT cells. Results : As a result of measuring total polyphenol contents, total flavonoid contents, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, and ABTS radical scavenging activity, antioxidant activity was found to be excellent in the order of EA > Bu > MC > Hexane > Water. As a result of measuring mRNA gene expression of Type I collagen, Filaggrin, CERS3, and CERS4 after UVB-stimulated was applied to HaCaT cells treated with different solvent fractions obtained from Agrimoniae Herba, it was found to increase significantly in the Bu-treated group. Conclusion : Our findings show that the Bu sample obtained from Agrimoniae Herba has excellent anti-oxidant ability, which increases Type I collagen, Filaggrin, and ceramide synthetase in UVB-stimulated HaCaT cells to control the skin barrier improvement effect.

급속열분해 바이오오일은 사용 용도를 제한하는 바람직하지 않은 많은 특성을 가지고 있다. 낮은 산도, 불안정성, 수분과 산소 함량, 식성 증가, 저장동안에 중합 및 낮은 발열량이 적용을 제한하는 주요 특징이다. 에스터 반응을 이용한 공비 수분 제거는 이 모든 특성을 개선할수 있다. 본 연구에서는 바이오오일의 특성 변화를 알아보기 위하여 0.3~1.4 mm 크기의 신갈나무 시료 500 g을 $550^{\circ}C$에서 2초 동안 급속열분해하여 바이오오일을 제조하였다. 제조된 바이오오일을 감압(100 hPa) 조건에서 30 min 동안 비휘발성 알콜인 n-butanol 처리하였다. 제조 오일의 수분, 점도, 고위발열량, 산도, FT-IR 및 GC/MS을 분석하였다. 수분은 91.4 % 감소(from 31.5 % to below 2.7 %), 점도는 65.8 % 감소(from 36.5 to 12.5 cP), 발열량은 96.8 % 증가(from 3,918 to 7,712 kcal/kg), 산도는 1.3 증가했다(from 2.7 to 4.0). FT-IR 및 GC/MS 분석결과 불안정한 산성물질, 알데히드, 케톤 및 저급 알콜이 안정된 목표 물질로 변환한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 실험 수행 과정에서 급속열분해 바이오오일의 수분 함량이 상당히 감소했다. 이렇게 개선된 품질 개선된 급속열분해 바이오오일은 표준보일러와 열병합발전소(CHP)의 연료로 이용이 가능하다.
