The effective extraction of antioxidative substances from soybeans was studied by the mixed solvents of methanol or ethanol with water at 30$^{\circ}C$ and 85$^{\circ}C$. At accelerated peroxidation condition, POV (peroxide value) of soybean oil and TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) value of egg yolk liposome with extracts added, were applied for the evaluation of antioxidative activity of the extracts. In the peroxidation of soybean oil, antioxidative substance of soybeans was extracted more effectively by methanol and at higher temperature 85$^{\circ}C$, and the deffated and roasted soybean extract (DRS) showed higher antioxidative activity. But in the Peroxidation of egg yolk liposome, methanol extract from the roasted soybeans (ROS) showed higher activity.

The objective of this study was to investigate the physiological activities of Cnidium officinale Makino extracts on extraction solvents. The yield of ethanol extract, 87.54%, was higher than that of the hot water extract(83.06%) and of the methanol extract(78.32%). In the inhibitory activity of xanthine oxidase, the ethanol extracts and methanol from Cnidium officinale Makino appeared to show significantly higher activity than hot water extract at $1,000{\mu}g/mL$. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of the ethanol and the methanol extracts at $50-2,000{\mu}g/mL$ were 19.96-89.01% and 19.41-88.21%, respectively. The SOD-like activities of all the extracts improved with an increase in the treatment concentration. Both collagenase and elastase inhibitory activities were shown higher from the ethanol and methanol extract compared to that of hot water extract. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of ethanol extract, 12.04-73.85%($50-2,000{\mu}g/mL$), was higher than that of the other extracts. Taken together, these data suggest that Cnidium officinale Makino extract is effective in whitening and anti-wrinkle effect, thus it might strongly be considered as potential functional cosmetic components.

The inhibitory effect of cacao bean husk (CBH) extract on glucosyltransferase(GTasc) from Streptococcus mutans B13 was investigated. Water solube extract from CBH showeda sarong inhibitory effect (88-89%) on GTase from Streptococcus mutans Bl3. GTase inhibitors from sequential extraction by hot water or water-methanol had the strongest inhibition. Sources, fermentation, and types of solvents and fumigation processes did not influence the effect. These active compounds proved to be polyphones through acid hydrolytic analysis of the precipitates by ammonium sulfate or ethanol and proteinase K. It was also confirmed by additional column chromatography of Sephadex G-50, Sephadex LH-20 and DEAE-Sephdex A-50.

This study was investigated the antimicrobial activity of clove extracts according to extraction solvents. The extracts were tested for their antimicrobial activity against several food spoilage microorganisms including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The methanol extract showed stronger antimicrobial activities than water extract. However, petroleum ether extract did not show antimicrobial activity. The water extract of clove showed growth inhibition effect against Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus, whereas no effect against Bacillus subtilis. The methanol extract of clove extracts showed more sensitive antimicrobial activity in Gram (+) bacteria than in Gram (-) bacteria. The antimicrobial activities were increased with increasing concentration of the clove extract.

The aim of this study was to identifyisothiocyanates (ITCs) from wasabi (Wasabi japonica Matsum) using supercritical carbon dioxide ($SCO_2$) and to compare the composition in the extracts between $SCO_2$ and organic solvents extraction. A semi-continuous high pressure apparatus was used to extract wasabi (roots, stems and leaves) at following conditions pressure 80$\sim$120 bar, temperature $40\sim50^{\circ}C$. Ether, ethanol, chloroform and dichloromethane were used as organic solvents. The ITCs extracted by means of both separation technologies were analyzed by a gas chromatography system. As the results of study, AITC and ITCs were highly extracted at 40$^{\circ}C$ and 80 bar. To extract AITC from wasabi, $SCO_2$ extraction is more effective than organic solvents extraction, resulted in thermal degeneration and remaining of organic solvents.

The objective of this study was to investigate antioxidant activities of freeze-dried, main root, and fine root of ginseng (Panax ginseng CA. Meyer), which were extracted with various solvents including ethanol, methanol, and water. Ethanol extracts in both parts showed the most powerful scavenging activities against DPPH radicals. Especially, ethanol extract of fine root had higher reducing power and antioxidant capacity than that of main root. The highest antioxidant activity in linoleic acid emulsion system was also observed in fine root extracted with ethanol, followed by methanol and water. Both ferrous ion chelating activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of extracts were increased with the increase of extracts concentration. These results suggest that ethanol extract of fine root of ginseng has the most effective antioxidant capacity compared to the methanol and water extracts tested in the present study. Thus it can be applied for the effective extraction of functional material from ginseng for the usage of pharmaceutical and/or food industries.

Consumption of fruits and vegetables has been conducted to be effective in the prevention of chronic diseases. In this study, 70% methanol, 70% ethanol and chloroform-methanol mixture (CM, 2:1, v/v) were used as solvents in the extraction of apple peels. The total phenol content, total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity of various extracts were investigated using in vitro assays. The extract obtained by 70% methanol showed the highest total phenol content ($20.87{\pm}0.17mgCAE/g$), ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt] radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power. However, 70% ethanol extract possessed the strongest antioxidant activity assayed by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity and ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching method. And CM extract was found to show the highest total flavonoid content with the value of $9.26{\pm}0.06mgQE/g$. These results indicated that apple peels can be used in dietary applications with a potential to reduce oxidative stress.

The rhizome of Phragmites communis Trin. is used for vomiting and belching by clearing stomach and the sprout is used as tea. Phragmites japonica is similar with P. communis except the color of sheath is purple. This study is aimed to compare the in vitro antioxidant activity, total polyphenol and flavonoids contents of P. communis and P. japonica. The antioxidant activities of fractions from the two Phragmites plants were evaluated by 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging assay. The antioxidant activity varied with plant parts and extract solvents. The fractions of leaf extract from the two Phragmites plants (4.06±1.32-16.47±1.28%) showed higher antioxidant activity by DPPH assay compared with rhizome fractions of two Phragmites plants (0.00±0.00-14.15±0.07%), these are lower compared with ascorbic acid and butylhydroxyanisole (BHA). The highest ABTS radical scavenging activity was found for rhizome ether fraction, namely 74.95±0.56% and 73.04±1.85% for P. communis and P. japonica, these are higher than BHA. The total polyphenol and flavonoids contents were different with plant parts and extract solvents, likewise antioxidant activity. A significant correlation was shown between DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity. Considering the results of this study, the leaves and stems of P. communis and P. japonica are expected to be used as natural antioxidants.

The present study evaluated the antioxidant activity, skin wrinkle reduction, and whitening activity of Pinus koraiensiscone scale extracts made with three different solvents (ethanol, supercritical fluid, and a mixture of both). Total polyphenol content was 11.03 mg/g GAE in the supercritical fluid extractand 33.79 mg/g GAE in the 70% ethanol extract. Electron donating ability of 1,000 ㎍/mL extract was 13.60% in the supercritical fluid extract, 91.37% in 70% ethanol extract, and 71.62% in mixed solvent extract. SOD-like activities in 100 ㎍/mL extract using supercritical fluid, 70% ethanol, and mixed solvents were 16.49%, 21.84%, and 10.7%, respectively. The ABTS⁺ radical scavenging activities of 1,000 ㎍/mL extract were 38.19%, 80.23%, and 78.72%for supercritical fluid extract, 70% ethanol extract, and mixed solvent extract, respectively. Tyrosinase inhibitory activities in 1,000 ㎍/mL extract were 24.54%, 36.55%, and 15.23% for supercritical fluid extract, 70% ethanol extract, and mixed solvent extract, respectively. Elastase inhibitory activities in 1,000 ㎍/mL extract were 15.62%, 22.56%, and 26.64% for supercritical fluid extract, 70% ethanol extract, and mixed solvent extract, respectively. Skin astringent activity (81.23% with 5000 ㎍/mL extract) was only detected in the 70% ethanol extract. Supercritical fluid and mixed solvent extracts showed no such activity. Our analysis of Pinus koraiensiscone scale extracts show that the highest aggregate activity was found in the 70% ethanol extract, followed by mixed solvent and supercritical fluid extracts. Therefore, our results oppose the hypothesis stating supercritical extract has the highest total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity.
