This study investigated the effect of diets supplemented with different levels (0, 1, 3, and 5 %) of turmeric Curcuma longa L. powder (TP) on the body composition of black rockfish Sebastes schlegeli. Fish weighing $10.05{\pm}0.44$ g were fed to apparent satiation twice daily for 8 weeks. Adding TP decreased crude lipid levels and increased crude protein and ash levels. Abundant fatty acids in the TP-added group were C16:0, C18:1 n-9 (cis), and C22:6 n-3. The major amino acids in samples were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, glycine, leucine, alanine, lysine, and arginine.

This research confirmed the chemical structure of Curcumine and Carthamin pigments whose pigments were separated and refined from the Curcuma longa and Carthamus Tinctorious which were natural dye using FT-IR, HPLC and so on. The cotton and the silk fabrics were dyed using a main pigment and then this research obtained the conclusion as it follows. The curcumine, the main pigment of Curcuma longa extracted from the mixed solvent of acetic anhydride and methanol ($CH_3OH$), had the maximum absorption wavelength at 504.0 nm and was confirmed as yellow natural pigment. The Carthamin, the main pigment of Carthamus Tinctorious extracted from the mixed solvent of dichloromethane and methanol, had the maximum absorption wavelength at 420.0nm. This pigment was confirmed as yellow natural pigment. The dyeing property of the main pigment about the silk fabrics was superior to that about the cotton in both the Curcuma longa and Carthamus Tinctorious, and the dyeing property of Carthamus Tinctorious was superior to that of Curcuma longa.

The effect of the hexane extract of Curcuma zedoaria roots and its solvent fractions were investigated on the proliferation of SiHa, SNU-1 and HepG2 cell lines. Among those fractions, final fraction H2-3-1 and H2-3-3 showed cytotoxic effect on SiHa and HepG2 cell lines. The hallmark of apoptosis, DNA fragmentation, also appeared in the final fractions H2-3-1 and H2-3-3 after 24h treatment in SiHa cell line. Furthermore, those fractions were shown to be able to induce cell death in $[^3H]$thymidine incorporation test. These two fractions, H2-3-1 and H2-3-3 were determined as (-)-$\alpha$-curcumene and $\beta$-tumerone respectively by NMR and mass spectrum. From these results, it is speculated that te hexane extract of Curcuma zedoaria is necessary for further studies as a potent inhibitor of the growth of cancer cells.

Curcuma longa L. leaf was extracted by water at $60^{\circ}C$ for 12 hours after being treatment of Ultra High Pressure under 500 MPa for 5-15 minute. The high pressure extraction for 15 minute (HPE15) was measured the highest extraction yield of 25.48% (w/w), compared to those from conventional extraction methods. The HPE15 showed the lowest cytotoxicity as 11.97% in adding $1.0mg/m{\ell}$ of concentration. Also, HPE15 was measured the highest inhibition of hyaluronidase as 44.48% in adding $1.0mg/m{\ell}$. In addition, The production of NO from macrophages was measured as $7.06{\mu}M$ in adding $1.0mg/m{\ell}$ of HPE15, which was lower than the those from others processes. Finally, HPE15 significantly reduced up to $649.44pg/m{\ell}$ of $ProstaglandinE_2$ production from UV-irradiation. These results suggest that the Curcuma longa Linne leaf extract from high pressure process might enhance the skin immune activities possibly by high elution of active components than other processes.

Collected germplasms of five representative species belonging to Curcuma genus (C. longa, C. aromatica, C. zedoaria, C. phaeocaulis and C. kwangsiensis) were 52 samples from different farmhouse in Korea and China. To elucidate the genetic diversity among the species, 52 samples were analyzed by genomic fingerprinting method using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). AFLP results of 6 primer combinations were revealed 643 total DNA fragments and 349 polymorphic bands with the 54.3% ratio of polymorphism. In the analysis of coefficient similarity using unweight pair group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA), 52 Curcuma germplasm lines were ranged from 0.60 to 0.99 and clustered distinct five groups according to the species and collected geographical levels. However, the result of principal coordinate analysis (PCA) by multi-variate analysis was shown significantly greater differences among species than geographical origins based on AFLP profiling data of these samples.

In this study three major curcuminoids in turmeric curcumin (1), demethoxycurcumin (2) and bismethoxycurcumin (3) were efficiently extracted by optimizing extraction condition and simultaneously identified using a fast and reliable RP-HPLC-UV-MS and TLC method. The analysis by the $C_{18}$ column was performed and the UV wavelength was fixed at 425 nm. In this result, the total extraction yield of turmeric (Curcuma longa) was increased with extraction time from 1 to 7 h. So, optimum extraction time is 4 h. Also, the highest yield of extraction amount 0.433g 8.66% was obtained by ultrasonic waves with quarter frequency kHz and an extraction time of 7 h. The experiment method was consistent with theoretical Value $r^2$ = 0.987 (1), 0.997 (2) and 0.998 (3). Moreover, LC-MS analysis provided efficiently molecular weight information of three major curcuminoids in turmeric extracts and high purity (~95%) of the curcuminoids were obtained. This work offers would be useful for chemical and biological studies of natural plants and its products.

The purpose this study was to investigate the influences of 5% turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) supplementation on enzyme activities such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), amylase, lipase and catalase in serum of dyslipidemic rats. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (24 male) were divided into four groups, namely the ND group (normal-nondyslipidemic diet), NT group (normal-nondyslipidemic diet+5% turmeric), DD group (control-dyslipidemic diet), and DT groups (dyslipidemic diet+5% turmeric). Serum concentrations of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine and uric acid were significantly decreased (p<0.05) by turmeric supplementation diet. The activities of AST, ALT, ALP, LDH, amylase and lipase in sera of turmeric diet group were significantly decreased (p<0.05). The catalase activity in serum of turmeric supplementation group was significantly increased than dyslipidemic diet (p<0.05). In vivo experiment with dyslipidemic rats showed that ingestion of turmeric were effective in kidney and hepatic functional enzyme activities. Which suggests that turmeric material could be used for further studies as a potential source for nutraceutical foods.

The present study were conducted to determine physiological activities and antioxidant effects [2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, reducing power, Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) and Fe2+ (ferrous ion) chelating capacity] of 70% methanol, chloroform:methanol, 2:1 volume ratio (CM) and ethyl acetate extract of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.). Bioactive compound of tannin $0.125{\pm}0.007mg$ Catechin Equivalent (CE)/g dry weight. Turmeric extracts yield were 70% methanol 16.54%, CM 5.64% and ethyl acetate 4.14%, respectively. Antioxidant activity of the samples exhibited a dose-dependent increase. Results showed that extraction solvent had significant effects on total flavonoid content and antioxidant effects of ethyl acetate. But ferrous ion-chelating capacity of 70% methanol extract was higher than CM and ethyl acetate extract. From the results of this study, turmeric can be utilized as a valuable and potential nutraceutical for the functional food industry.

본 연구에서는 테스토스테론으로 전립선 비대를 유도한 래트에 울금(Curcuma longa L.)의 열수추출물을 다양한 농도로 급여하여 그에 따른 염증인자의 변화를 검토하였다. 조직학적 분석에서 울금 열수추출물(CL) 급여에 따라 전립선비대가 완화되는 것을 검토할 수 있었으며, 염증성 사이토카인인 TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 및 IL-$1{\beta}$이 전립선 비대 유도군에서 그 발현이 현저히 증가하였으나, 각 농도의 CL 군에서는 농도의존적으로 감소하였다. 또한, CL 급여에 따라 finasteride enzyme인 COX-2와 염증 전사인자인 NF-${\kappa}b$의 활성화의 감소를 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 전립선 비대에서 울금 열수추출물이 항염증 효과로써 전립선 비대의 유발 및 발전을 억제시킬 수 있다는 것을 부분적으로나마 설명할 수 있는 기초 자료가 될 수 있다고 사료된다.

Curcuma alismatifolia 'Chiangmai Pink'의 화아발달 과정을 SEM을 통해 관찰하였다. 쿠르쿠마 근경에서 자란 맹아의 발육정도에 따른 화아분화 과정과 단계별 화아분화의 형태적 특성은 정식 후 식물체의 싹이 15-20cm 가량 자랐을때 생장점의 중앙부가 돔형으로 비대되는 경정분열조직에서 포엽이 분화되기 시작하였다. 포엽이 5-7매 가량 분화되면 포엽과 포엽 사이에서 화아가 형성되기 시작하였고, 보통 포엽당 화아는 4-6개가 관찰되었다. 화아가 분화되는 순서는 맨 하위 포엽 내 존재하는 것부터 상부로 올라가면서 하나씩 분화되었고 상부의 것이 분화되면 다시 하부의 4-6개의 화아 중 또 다른 화아가 상부쪽으로 향하면서 하나씩 순차적으로 되었다.
