In the present study, in attempt was made to observe the effect of lipid components in pantocrin and antler velvet and sponge layers extracts on the aldolase activity in the rat spinal nerves. The antler chloroform-methanol (2:1) extracts are known to be composed of neutral lipids, cholesterol, cerebrosides, spingomyelin, phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl serine and gangliosides. The antler extracts were studied on the aldolase activity in the rat spinal nerves. The aldolase activity was measured by the method of Lehninger. To investigate the components of tile extracts which affect the enzyme activity, the chloroform-methanol (2:1) extracts of antler were fractionated into petroleum ether soluble and insoluble fractions and their effects on the enzyme activity were compared. It was found that the chloroform-methanol (2:1) extracts of the antler sponge and velvet layers as well as those petroleum ether soluble fractions obtained from the chloroform-methanol (2:1) extracts, decrease the aldolase activity by 18-23%. However, pantocrin showed increasing effect on the aldolase activity by 42.6%. The petroleum ether insoluble fraction of the chloroform-methanol (2:1) -extract showed no significant increasing activity (about 13%) on the spinal nerves aldolase. The components of pantocrin ind the petroleum ether insoluble fractions were attempted to analysize by thin layer (silica gel) and gas liquid chromatography.

The difference on compositions of enzyme extracts which were produced with two kinds of enzyme, celluclast and pectinex, and from sea mustards prepared with two kinds of pretreatments, heating and non-heating treatment, were investigated. The moisture compositions of enzyme extracts from the heating sea mustard were little higher than that of nonheating sea mustard, although the compositions of crude ash and pectin were no significant differences between two kinds of different pretreatment extracts. The supernatant extract ratio was slightly higher level in the heating pretreatment enzyme extracts than non-heating pretreatment extracts and the level of extracts prepared with only celluclast enzyme was higher than using only pectinex and the mixture of two enzymes. The general sensory evaluation value of jelly made from non-heating pretreatment extracts was higher than that from heating pretreatment extracts except on the taste and the texture.

Objective : Kyenegum has been frequently used for characterizing digestive symptoms in the traditional and oriental medicines. This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of extracts from velvet antlers using the 4 different kinds of extracting methods. Methods : The extracts of velvet antlers were extracted using a $65^{\circ}C$ DW (9hrs), a Kyenegum crude enzyme, a $121^{\circ}C$ DW (2hrs), and a Kyenegum protease. To evaluate the characteristic of velvet antler extracts, we examined the brix, soluble solid, amino acid, mineral composition, and collagen protein. Results : As a result of the comparisons of velvet antlers extracted by the traditional extraction and the crude enzyme of kyenegum, the brix and soluble solid showed the higher contents for kyenegum enzymes. Also, mineral contents of the extracted velvet antlers were higher, particularly in Ca and P for those. The contents of collagen protein, hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, were found to be more than twice in kyenegum protease compared with other extracting methods. Conclusion : These results indicated that the Kyenegum crude enzyme and protease are very effective to extract of velvet antlers.

To improve usability of super sweet corn, extracts were prepared with hydrolytic enzyme and changes in physicochemical and antioxidant properties were analyzed. Soluble solids and reducing sugars contents were higher in all enzyme treatment groups than in the control. When enzyme treatment time increased, contents of soluble solids and reducing sugars were also increased. There was no significant difference in lightness between treatment groups, with redness showing the highest value in the control and yellowness showing the highest value in the invertase treatment group. Free sugar content in the control was the lowest. However free sugar content in the enzyme combination treatment group was increased by more than four times compared to that in the control. Contents of ascorbic acid, flavonoids and polyphenols were higher in the enzyme treatment group than in the control. In particular, the enzyme combination treatment group showed the highest content. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging abilities were significantly higher in all enzyme treatment groups than in the control. Radical scavenging abilities of cellulase treatment group and enzyme combination treatment group showed high activity. The activity increased when enzyme treatment time increased. The combined enzyme treatment method for super sweet corn was suitable for food processing.

In this study ethanol extracts of aerial part of Geranium thunbergii Sieb. et Zucc. was investigated for their ability to inhibit a-glucosidase, and thus was fractionated using two organic solvents, including dichloromethane, ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate-soluble fraction, which manifested potent enzyme inhibitory properties, was then followed by tracking down the active compound by combining HPLC micro-fractionation to an enzyme assay in 96-well plate. The ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity profile showed that two peaks exhibited potent inhibitory activity, and then the structural analyses of the two peaks were carried out by HPLC-UV-MS. The main ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory compounds in the ethyl acetate-soluble fractions of ethanol extracts of Geranium thunbergii Sieb. et Zucc. were tentatively identified as geraniin and kaempferol-7-rhamnoside.

The ground red pepper puree was treated with cellulase (C treatment), pectinase (P treatment), amylase (A treatment) and/or enzyme complex (CP, CA, PA and CPA treatment) for 2~8 hours to improve the yield and bioactivity of extracts. And physicochemical and sensory properties of red pepper extracts were evaluated. The extraction yield of the control was 38.84%, which was lower than those of the enzyme treatments. And extraction yields of enzyme complex treatments were higher than that of single enzyme treatments. Especially, extraction yield was increased to 74.37% by cellulase + pectinase + amylase complex treatment (CPA treatment). The soluble solid and reducing sugar contents were higher in the extracts treated with enzymes compared with the control. CA and CPA treatment showed the highest soluble solid and reducing sugar contents. No significant changes in lightness, redness and yellowness of the control and the samples by enzyme treatments were observed during 2~8 hours experiments. The sensory evaluation results revealed that panelists preferred the extracts with enzyme treatments to the control. Therefore, enzyme treatment for red pepper extracts is a good method to improve the yield and sensory properties.

To enhance the efficacy of Abeliophyllum distichum leaves, extracts were prepared using different solvents for hydrolytic enzyme-treated Abeliophyllum distichum leaves. Physicochemical quality and antioxidant activity were measured. Soluble solids, reducing sugar, ascorbic acid, flavonoids, and polyphenols contents showed the lowest values in the control without enzyme treatment. However, they showed high contents in ethanol extract. In the case of enzyme treatment, their values were higher than those of the control. In particular, verbascoside content increased about 220 times more than that of the control group when treated with enzymes and extracted with 50% ethanol. pH was lowered upon enzymatic treatment. Regarding DPPH radical scavenging activity, for enzyme-free, 25% ethanol extract showed the highest activity among extracts with different solvents. For cellulase and pectinase-treated leaves, water extract showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity among extracts with different solvents. For leaves treated with enzyme combination, 50% ethanol extract showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity among extracts with different solvents. Regarding ABTS radical scavenging activity, it was generally higher in the 50% ethanol extract than in the water extract and 25% ethanol extract. In particular, verbascoside content was increased when the extract was prepared by co-treatment with enzymes and 50% ethanol.

Mulberry extracts can be incorporated into skin-whitening products. The compound attributed to lighten the skin is arbutin, a form of hydroquinone that inhibits melanin release by suppressing the tyrosinase enzyme. For the cosmetic applications, the physiological effects of mulberry (Morus alba) extracts were investigated. The water soluble fraction of mulberry contains higher amount of protein (16.28~4.47%) in contrast to fat (1.55~1.41%). In addition, the fraction abundantly contains succinic acid (972.4-275.8 mg/g) and phosphoric acid (1,628.4-121.9 mg/g) in different parts of mulberry. The free radical scavenging ability in water soluble fraction was found to display remarkable effects in comparison with methanol and ethyl acetate fraction. The ethyl acetate-soluble of root and leaf showed remarkable tyrosinase inhibition activity by IC 50 (${\mu}g/ml$). The anticancer activity of methanol fraction obtained from mulberry using human cancer cell lines showed growth inhibition effect (270.14 mg/ml in Calu-6 cells, 295.29 mg/ml in HCT-116, and 332.29 mg/ml in MCF-7 cells, respectively). Based on the results, Morus alba extracts include cosmetic ingredients with antioxidizing and whitening properties.
