This study was conducted to improve yield and functional properties of autoclave-treated salmon frame extracts (SFETA) using commercial enzymes (Alcalase 2.4 L FG, Flavourzyme 500 MG, Neutrase 0.8 L and Protamex 1.5 MG). Yield and angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of all enzymatic hydrolysates improved compared to those of control (undigested extracts), which were the highest in hydrolysates incubated with Protamex 1.5 MG for 4 hrs (P4-treated hydrolysates) and 2 hrs (P2-treated hydrolysates), respectively. However, antioxidant activities of all enzymatic hydrolysates showed less than 29%. According to the trichloroacetic acid soluble-N, volatile component intensity and sensory evaluation, when compared to control, taste of P4-treated hydrolysates improved, while its fish odor strongly smelt. Therefore, for efficient use of P4-hydrolysates, the fish odor should be improved by Maillard reaction of extracts or pre-treatment of salmon frame.

This study was performed to measure the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of peptide extracts derived from the enzymatic proteolysis of Hanwoo Musculus longissimus (M. longissimus) during cold storage. Thermolysin (80 ppm, w/w) and protease type XIII (100 ppm, w/w) were injected separately or in combination for the enzymatic proteolysis of sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins prior to storage at $5^{\circ}C$ (T1) or at $-1^{\circ}C$ (T2) in a chilling room for 9 days. Beef injected with thermolysin (E2) and thermolysin+protease type XIII (E3) showed a significantly higher degree of hydrolysis at both storage temperatures (p<0.05). During the storage period, T1E2 at day 6 and T1E3 at day 9 showed the strongest ACE inhibitory activity with sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar protein proteolysates. Macromolecules greater than 10,000 Da were removed by ultra filtration, and the filtrates were separated into fractions using gel filtration. Five and three major fractions were collected from S-T1E2-6 and M-T1E3-9 extracts, respectively, and the $4^{th}$ fraction of the S-T1E2-6 extracts showed the highest ACE inhibitory rate of $61.96{\pm}7.41%$.

This study examined the effective utilization of pearl processing by-products. Three extracts of hot-water extract (WE), hydro-cooked extract (HE), and two-step enzymatic hydrolysate (EH) were prepared from pearl oyster muscle, and their characteristics were examined. The moisture, crude protein, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), and amino-N contents were 97.5-98.0%, 0.5-1.3%, 2.1-4.9 g/100 mL, and 35.0-74.5 g/100 mL, respectively. EH had the lowest VBN and highest amino-N contents. In addition, EH had the highest yields. In terms of its functional properties, EH inhibited angiotensin-I converting enzyme ($IC_{50}$, 1.39 mg/mL) more strongly than the other extracts ($IC_{50}$, 4.17-7.95 mg/mL). The free amino acid contents of WE, HE, and EH were 661, 470 and 1,150 mg/100 mL, respectively. Major amino acids were taurine and glutamic acid. Major inorganic ions were Na, Mg, and Ca. Contents of taste compounds, such as free amino acids, inorganic ions, and quaternary ammonium bases, differed significantly according to the extract methods. Based on the results of chemical experiments and sensory evaluation, the quality of EH was superior to the other extracts, and EH is suitable for use in natural flavoring materials.

To study the feasibility of transmucosal delivery of $[D-ala^2]-methionine$ enkephalinamide (YAGFM), its enzymatic degradation and stabilization in various rabbit mucosal extracts were investigated by HPLC method. The degradation of YAGFM was observed to follow the first-order kinetics and the half-lives of YAGFM in the nasal, rectal and vaginal mucosal extracts were found to be 25.7, 3.0 and 7.8 hr, respectively. However, there was no significant difference in degradation rates of YAGFM between the mucosal and serosal extracts obtained from the same mucosal membrane. This finding suggests that even a synthetic enkephalin analog, which is designed to be resistent to aminopeptidases, needs to be fully protected from the enzymatic degradation in mucosal sites for the delivery of the analog through mucosal routes. To inhibit the degradation of YAGFM in various mucosal extracts, effects of enzyme inhibitors such as bestatin (BS), amastatin (AM), thiorphan (TP), thimerosal (TM) and EDTA, alone or in combination, and modified cyclodextrins were observed by assaying YAGFM staying intact during 24 hr-incubation at $37^{\circ}C$. It was found from the results that mixed inhibitors such as TM (0.5 mM)/EDTA (5 mM) or AM $(50{\mu}M)/TM$ (0.5 mM)/EDTA (5 mM) provided very useful means for the stabilization in various mucosal extracts. The latter was found to protect YAGFM from the degradation in the nasal, rectal, and vaginal mucosal extracts by 90.9, 90.4 and 91.3%, respectively, after 24 hr-incubation, suggesting almost complete inhibition of YAGFM-degrading enzymes present in the incubation mixture. However, BS $(50{\mu}M)$, AM 50 $(50{\mu}M)$ or TP$(50{\mu}M)$ alone did not reveal sufficient inhibition except TM (0.5 mM) or EDTA (5 mM). The adddition of $2-hydroxylpropyl-{\beta}-cyclodextrin$(10%) to the nasal mucosal extract, and $dimethyl-{\beta}-cyclodextrin$(10%) to the rectal and vaginal mucosal extracts reduced the first-order rate constants for the degradation of YAGFM by 5.8, 17.3 and 8.9 times, respectively, compared to those with no additive.

Background: The separation of isomeric compounds from a mixture is a recurring problem in chemistry and phytochemistry research. The purification of pharmacologically active ginsenoside Rb₃ from ginseng extracts is limited by the co-existence of its isomer Rb₂. The aim of the present study was to develop an enzymatic elimination-combined purification method to obtain pure Rb₃ from a mixture of isomers. Methods: To isolate Rb₃ from the isomeric mixture, a simple enzymatic selective elimination method was used. A ginsenoside-transforming glycoside hydrolase (Bgp2) was employed to selectively hydrolyze Rb₂ into ginsenoside Rd. Ginsenoside Rb₃ was then efficiently separated from the mixture using a traditional chromatographic method. Results: Chromatographic purification of Rb₃ was achieved using this novel enzymatic elimination-combined method, with 58.6-times higher yield and 13.1% less time than those of the traditional chromatographic method, with a lower minimum column length for purification. The novelty of this study was the use of a recombinant glycosidase for the selective elimination of the isomer. The isolated ginsenoside Rb₃ can be used in further pharmaceutical studies. Conclusions: Herein, we demonstrated a novel enzymatic elimination-combined purification method for the chromatographic purification of ginsenoside Rb₃. This method can also be applied to purify other isomeric glycoconjugates in mixtures.

The present study was investigated on in vitro anti-obesity effect of 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol from Cudrania tricuspidata. We isolated various compounds from Cudrania tricuspidata. Among these compounds, anti-obesity effects of 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol was examined by lipase activity assay, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type IV (PDE4) activity assay, and citrate synthase activity assay. 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and Cudrania tricuspidata extracts inhibited the enzymatic activities of lipase, PDE4, and citrate synthase. Lipase is known to mediate the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol in adipose tissue and cholesterol esters in other tissue or cells. Also, PDE4 hydrolyses cAMP, a crucial secondary messenger for in metabolic pathways including glucose and lipid metabolism, lipolysis, and thermogenic function. 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and Cudrania tricuspidata extracts induced the inhibitory effect against each enzymatic activity on several specific substrates as observed by detection at 405 or 412 nm. These findings might be attributable to the inhibition of adipogenesis, and partial prevention of obesity. In conclusion, these results show that 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and Cudrania tricuspidata may be a critical candidate as a natural anti-obesity source.

In this study, extracts of Boswellia serrata gum resin, Curcuma longa rhizome, and Terminalia chebula fruit were combined in different ratios, and their anti-osteoarthritis effects were compared to determine which combination had the best synergistic effect. B. serrata, C. longa, and T. chebula extracts in a 2:1:2 ratio exhibited higher antioxidative activity in scavenging DPPH radicals than did the individual extracts alone or the other extract combinations. Additionally, the 2:1:2 combination significantly improved the levels of enzymatic antioxidants and antioxidant-related proteins. Moreover, this same combination ratio decreased the protein levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 3 and MMP13 in interleukin-1β-stimulated human articular chondrocytes (HCHs) and increased those of aggrecan and collagen type II alpha 1 chain (COL2A1). Analysis of the underlying mechanisms revealed that the 2:1:2 combination significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65, extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Therefore, the 2:1:2 combination of these three plant extracts has the best potential for use as an effective dietary supplement for improving joint health compared with the individual extracts and their other combination ratios.

The antioxidant activities of water ($H_2O$) and ethanol (EtOH) extracts from hamcho (Salicornia herbacea L.) juice and cake prepared by enzymatic treatments were evaluated by in vitro assays against DPPH, superoxide, and hydroxyl radicals. Among the $H_2O$ and EtOH extracts from five different carbohydrases treated, the EtOH extract from viscozyme-treated hamcho cake had higher yield and phenolic content, and exhibited the strongest radical scavenging activity against DPPH ($IC_{50}=186.91\;{\mu}g/mL$), superoxide ($IC_{50}=87.54\;{\mu}g/mL$), and hydroxyl radicals ($IC_{50}=367.07\;{\mu}g/mL$). Antioxidant assay-guided fractionation and purification of the EtOH extract led to isolation and identification of five phenolic compounds, procatechuic, ferulic and caffeic acids, quercetin, and isorhamnetin. Most of these phenolic compounds exhibited considerable DPPH, superoxide, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, and in particular, caffeic and ferulic acids had stronger superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities than the well-known antioxidant radical scavenger, (+)-catechin (p<0.05). Quercetin and isorhamnetin were the primary compounds responsible for the strong antioxidant activity in the EtOH extract of the viscozyme-treated hamcho cake. Meanwhile, these five phenolic compounds were detected in the EtOH extract of the viscozyme-treated hamcho cake at the following levels (dry base of hamcho); procatechuic acid (1.54 mg%), caffeic acid (6.87 mg%), ferulic acid (8.45 mg%), quercetin (12.63 mg%), and isorhamnetin (6.65 mg%). However, three of these phenolic compounds (procatechuic, caffeic acid, and ferulic acids) were detectable in the $H_2O$ extract of viscozyme-treated hamcho juice. These results suggest that the EtOH extract of viscozyme-treated hamcho cake may be a potential source of natural antioxidants.
