The antimicrobial effects of methanol and ethanol extracts of Inula britannica against several Helicobacter pylori strains (26695, J99, and SS1) were evaluated in vitro, to determine their applicability as functional foods. In the paper disc diffusion method, the antimicrobial effects of the I. britannica extracts against the H. pylori strains were apparent. Viable cell counting also showed that the extracts at 100 μg/ml concentration dramatically decreased the viability of the H. pylori strains. In particular, the methanol and ethanol extracts at a concentration of 100 μg/ml reduced the H. pylori SS1 cell number to 2.46 log CFU/ml and 1.08 log CFU/ml, respectively. In the presence of 100 μg/ml extracts, the urease production of H. pylori SS1 was decreased to more than 30%, whereas that of H. pylori J99 and H. pylori 26695 was decreased to about 20%, relative to the controls. The extracts inhibited the attachment of the H. pylori strains to human gastric AGS cells as well as caused the detachment of already attached H. pylori cells. In addition, the H. pylori morphology was changed to a coccoidal shape in the presence of the extracts. In conclusion, the I. britannica extracts were effective against H. pylori strains in vitro, irrespective of genotype status, and could therefore be used as novel functional foods.

이란산과 국내산 석류를 착즙하여 과즙과 부산물로 버려지는 외피, 내피, 씨의 4부분으로 나누어 기능성 성분과 항산화능을 분석하였다. 석류 부위별 추출물의 기능성 성분 중 총 페놀 함량은 국내산 석류 외피가 210 mg/g${\pm}$8.08로 가장 높았고, 플라보노이드의 함량은 이란산 석류 내피와 이란산 석류 외피가 가장 높았다. Phytoestrogen 함량은 이란산에 비해 국내산 석류 내피에서 96.04 ${\mu}g/mL$로 가장 높게 측정되어 전반적으로 이란산 석류보다 국내산 석류의 기능성 성분의 함량이 높았다. 부위별 석류 에탄올 추출물의 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성과 SOD 유사활성, 환원력은 국내산 석류 내피의 활성이 가장 높았고 superoxide anion 소거활성에서는 이란산 석류 내피의 활성이 가장 높았다. ABTS$^+$ 소거활성에서는 이란산 석류 외피의 항산화능이 가장 높게 측정되었고, 아질산염 소거활성은 국내산 석류 외피추출물이 가장 높았다. 또한 석류의 총 폴리페놀, 플라보노이드, 식물성 에스트로겐의 양이 높을수록 항산화성이 높아 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 이상의 결과에 따르면, 기능성 성분은 국내산 석류에서 함량이 높았고 항산화활성은 각 항산화 측정방법에 따라 조금씩 차이가 있지만 대체적으로 국내산 석류의 항산화능이 높게 분석되었다. 또한 부위별로 비교해 본 결과 석류는 과즙보다 껍질과 씨 부분 특히 내피에 기능성 성분의 함량이 많고 항산화 활성도 높게 나타났다. 따라서 과즙 착즙 시 버려지는 부산물인 석류의 외피와 내피는 기능성 성분 및 항산화성이 우수하여 식품의 산화방지를 위한 천연 항산화제로서의 가치가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Functional foods are of great significance since our society is accelerating into aging. An aging society has many physiological metabolic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, dementia and geriatric diseases. Fundamental treatments for the elderly are almost impossible and the social burden is heavy. If these diseases can be prevented or alleviated by improving dietary habits using functional foods, the significance would be very large. Pomegranate has been found to have 124 different kinds of phytochemicals. Polyphenols have a wide range of protective effects including various physiological metabolic diseases and cancers. It is necessary to develop functional foods such as preservatives and food extenders which can contribute to food safety, required in the food industry, by using such bioactive substances. Pomegranates have been reported to decrease the impact of many serious illnesses. There is a considerable amount of bioactive substances in the peel of a pomegranate, which has potent anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-apoptotic properties. Unfortunately, the peel is typically discarded after processing. Despite knowledge regarding the bioactive substances in the pomegranate peel and peel extracts, including their functionality and diversity, the knowledge is not well known by consumers in general. The aim of this study was to review up to date research trends for processing and developing new functional foods by utilizing nutritional functional substances, favourite food materials, and materials for processing food contained in pomegranate peels and pomegranate peel extracts. This study will summarize the data found in pomegranate peel and pomegranate peel extract literature mainly recently published in Science Direct. There are polyphenolic compounds (ellagitannins, punicalagin, proanthocyanidin, flavonoids, polysaccharides, etc.) in the fruit peel, making up about 50% of the pomegranate's weight. The polyphenol content of a pomegranate fruit peel is 149.91 mg/g, which is about 100 times higher than the juice. Paying attention to the fact that the ellagitannin content (14.22 mg/g) in the fruit peel is also twice as high as that of the fruit juice and seeds, that confirms the possibility of utilizing the peel as a food ingredient capable of developing new, functional bioactive foods.

This study investigated hepatic functional improvement and anti-fibrotic effects of water extracts of black tea. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups (normal, control, and two experimental subgroups: Ba, Bb) and observed for 3 weeks. Liver fibrosis in rats developed from carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$) administration, except for the normal group. Except for the normal and control group, the two experimental subgroups were fed water extracts of black tea. The food efficiency ratio significantly increased in the experimental group compared to the control group. The experimental group had a significantly lower liver weight compared to the control group. The ratio of liver weight to body weight was significantly lower in the experimental group than the control group. The levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, blood urea nitrogen, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol in serum significantly decreased in the experimental group compared to the control group. The values of hydroxyproline and malondialdehyde in liver were even lower in the experimental group than the control group. In observations on liver histology, weaker inflammation and fibrosis were observed in the experimental group compared to the control group. In conclusion, water extracts of black tea help hepatic cells keep their functions, restraining and protecting the liver from impairments caused by $CCl_4$ administration, and can be effective as anti-fibrotic agents.

Herbal medicines have been used as a basic means of clinical trial throughout history, and traditional medicines are targeted to seek functional components. To discover new cosmetic or food ingredients among numerous natural resources from Jeju island, we screened for inhibition activity against nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Although NO formation plays an important role to relax vascular muscles or eliminate tumors, NO produced excessively in inflammatory condition can cause metabolic diseases or inflammatory dysfunctions. Among 52 natural resources ethanol extracts, 5 extracts inhibited NO production over 25% compared to only LPS-treated control at the concentration of $100{\mu}g/mL$. In further study, we try to investigate other bio-activities and the phytochemicals of 5 different extracts as useful ingredients for cosmetics or functional foods.
