Grape pomace is an abundant source of underutilized winery by-products. Polyphenols were extracted from grape pomace using cellulase and gluco-amylase enzymes. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and Folin-Ciocalteu's assays were used to measure antioxidant activity and total polyphenolic contents. Both cellulase, and gluco-amylase digested grape pomace showed efficient radical scavenging activity. In addition, the total polyphenolic contents of cellulase digested grape pomace showed lower concentrations were effective compared to higher concentrations, whereas glucoamylase enzyme did not show remarkable variations. The DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenolic contents were significantly higher in the cellulase digested grape pomace compared to the gluco-amylase digested and the not digested grape pomace. It is notable that enzymatic digestions were efficient for extracting polyphenols from grape pomace. The underutilized grape pomace polyphenols can be further used for food safety as a natural antioxidant.

Grape products have been known to exert greater antioxidant and anti-obesity than anti-hyperglycemic effects in animals and humans. Omija is used as an ingredient in traditional medicine, and it is known to have an anti-hyperglycemic effect. We investigated whether the combined extracts of grape pomace and omija fruit (GE+OE) could reduce fat accumulation in adipose and hepatic tissues and provide beneficial effects against hyperglycemia and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic mice. C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice were fed either a normal control diet or GE+OE (0.5% grape pomace extract and 0.05% omija fruit extract, w/w) for 7 weeks. GE+OE decreased plasma leptin and resistin levels while increasing adiponectin levels and reducing the total white adipose tissue weight. Furthermore, GE+OE lowered plasma free fatty acid (FFA), triglyceride, and total-cholesterol levels as well as hepatic FFA and cholesterol levels. Hepatic fatty acid synthase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities were decreased in the GE+OE group, whereas hepatic ${\beta}$-oxidation activity was increased. Furthermore, GE+OE supplementation not only reduced hyperglycemia and pancreatic ${\beta}$-cell failure but also lowered blood glycosylated hemoglobin and plasma insulin levels. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance levels was also decreased and the decrease seems to be mediated by the lowered activities of hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinases. The present data suggest that GE+OE may have the potential to reduce hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and obesity in patients with type 2 diabetes.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: We investigated the effects of a combination of grape pomace (Vitis labrusca, Campbell Early) and Omija fruit (Schizandra chinensis, Baillon) ethanol extracts on lipid metabolism and antioxidant defense system in diet-induced obese mice. MATERIALS/METHODS: Forty male C57BL/6J mice were divided into four groups and fed high-fat diet (control group, CON) or high-fat diet added 0.5% grape pomace extract (GPE), 0.05% Omija fruit extract (OFE) or 0.5% GPE plus 0.05% OFE (GPE+OFE) for 12 weeks. RESULTS: In contrast to the GPE- or OFE-supplemented groups, the GPE+OFE group showed significantly lower body weight and white adipose tissue weights than the CON group. Moreover, GPE+OFE supplementation significantly decreased plasma total cholesterol and increased the plasma HDL-cholesterol/total-cholesterol ratio (HTR) compared to the control diet. The hepatic triglyceride level was significantly lower in the GPE+OFE and GPE groups by increasing ${\beta}$-oxidation and decreasing lipogenic enzyme compared to the CON group. Furthermore, GPE+OFE supplementation significantly increased antioxidant enzyme activities with a simultaneous decrease in liver $H_2O_2$ content compared to the control diet. CONCLUSIONS: Together our results suggest that supplementation with the GPE+OFE mixture may be more effective in improving adiposity, lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in high-fat diet-fed mice than those with GPE and OFE alone.

90일령의 육성돈에게 거정석, 옥돌, 포도박 추출물박 추출물, 거정석과 포도박 추출물, 옥돌과 포도박 추출물 사료첨가제를 90일 동안 급여하여 육질의 변화를 관찰하였다. 일반성분에서는 각 처리구간에 유의적인 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다(p>0.05). 이화학적 특성 중 pH와 가열감량에서는 처리구 간 전항목에서 유의적인 차이가 없었으나(p>0.05), 보수력에서 거정석 처리군이 다른 처리군 보다 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 기계적인 연도측정지표인 전단력($kg/cm^2$)에서는 거정석, 포도박 추출물 처리군이 낮은 것으로 나타났고, 거정석과 포도박 추출물을 혼합 첨가한 경우 유의적인 연도 개선효과가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 유리아미노산 함량에서는 전체적인 함량과 각각의 아미노산 함량에는 유의적인 차이가 없었고, 지방산조성에도 처리구 간에 유사한 경향을 나타냈다(p>0.05). 등심에 대한 관능평가에서 거정석과 포도박 추출물 처리군이 다른 처리군 보다 높은 평가결과를 얻었다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 거정석과 옥돌, 포도박 추출물을 사료첨가제로써 단독으로 사용하였을 때 거정석 첨가군은 다른 첨가군에 비해 높은 보수력을 유지하고, 거정석과 포도박 추출물을 동시에 사료에 첨가 사용하였을 때에는 연도 개선을 통한 육질의 개선이 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다.
