Hibiscus sabdariffa L., a tropical beverage material, is used commonly as in folk medicine against hypertension, pyrexia, inflammation, liver disorders, and obesity. However, the mechanism by which Hibiscus sabdariffa L. modulates adipogenic differentiation is remained to be elusive. This report was designed to investigate the inhibitory effect of Hibiscus extract on insulin signaling pathway during adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated with isobutylmethylxanthine, dexamethasone, and insulin (MDI) and followed by the addition of Hibiscus extract. Treatment with Hibiscus resulted in a decrease of lipid droplet accumulation, which was suppressed by PI-3 kinase inhibitor wortmannin in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Also, Hibiscus extract markedly attenuated the mRNA expression of adipogenic transcriptional factor PPAR${\gamma}$ and adipogenic hormon Leptin during adipogenesis. However, it did not affect the expression of adiponectin in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes differentiated with MDI mixture. Furthermore, Adipogenic differentiation by MDI mixture increased the phosphorylation and expression of PI3-Kinase and Akt in 3T3 preadipocytes, which was markedly suppressed by Hibiscus extract treatment. Taken together, our results suggest that Hibiscus extract suppressed the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3 preadipocytes through activation of PI3-Kinase and Akt signaling pathway.

본 연구의 목적은 비만 쥐에서의 발효 무궁화 추출물의 항산화 효과를 평가를 위해 수행되었다. 항산화 실험은 in vivo와 in vitro 둘 다 진행하였다. In vitro 실험은 산화질소 자유 라디칼 소거활성을 사용하여 측정하였다. 발효 무궁화 추출물에서의 산화질소 자유 라디칼 소거활성은 비발효 무궁화 추출물보다 높게 나타났다. In vivo 실험은 정상식이군(NOR), 고지방식이군(CON), 고지방식이+발효 무궁화 추출물군(FH)과 고지방식이+비발효 무궁화 추출물군(NFH)로 나눴고, 4군은 4주 동안 복강투여하였다. 그리고 간 균질액의 SOD, CAT, MDA 수준을 측정하였다. 그 결과 FH군의 SOD와 CAT 수준은 CON군보다 높게 나타났으며, FH군의 MDA 수준은 CON군에 비해 현저하게 감소하였다. 결론적으로 발효 무궁화 추출물은 비만 쥐에서의 산화적 스트레스 억제 효과와 항산화 효소 활성 증가 효과를 가지며, 유용한 천연 항산화제의 원료로 사용할 수 있음을 제안한다.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the effects of persimmon juice and hibiscus flowers extract to perform combination dyeing of silk fabrics, with respect to color changes, fastness, and functionality. The optimal conditions as a result, were shown at 100% of dye concentration, $40^{\circ}C$ of dyeing temperature and 30 minutes of dyeing time while in terms of dye uptake depending on the kind of mordants and methods. The highest K/S value was recorded at pH 3, pre-mordants of $CuSO_4$, and $SnCl_2$, post-mordanting. After repeated dyeing and post-mordanting, various color change occurred with mordant treatments. Color fastness of dyed fabrics with hibiscus flowers extract was improve considerably by combination dyeing with persimmon juice extract. In aspects of functional properties, it showed excellent results of 99% deodorization rate, 99.9% Staphylococcus aureus rate and 99.9% Klebsiella pneumoniae.

The aim of this study was to analyze the functional components of five cultivars of 'Mugunghwa (Hibiscus syriacus L.)' for the development of 'Mugunghwa'-added foods. There were five varieties, namely, Hibiscus syriacus 'Hwanhee' (HH), Hibiscus syriacus 'Samchulli' (SC), Hibiscus syriacus 'Harmony' (HM), Hibiscus syriacus 'Baekgu' (BG), and Hibiscus sabdariffa L (HB). Of the five varieties tested, HH extract showed the highest total phenolic content (131.85 GAE mg/g), DPPH free radical scavenging activity (95.18%), and anthocyanin and sugar contents. The sensory quality of powders from each Hibiscus variety was evaluated, and it was found that overall palatability decreased in the order: HH, SC, HB, HM, and BG. Thus, addition of Hibiscus variety, which has excellent functionality and palatability, to foods confers an extra element of Korean history and culture, which is expected to improve the marketability of various food products.

COVID-19로 인하여 현대인들은 유해환경 및 다양한 자극에 따른 불안 심리가 높아지게 되면서 천연물질을 선호하게 되었다. 따라서 전통의학에서 무독성 식물로 인정한 히비스커스를 천연화장품 소재로서의 적절성을 알아보고자 히비스커스 추출물의 항산화 효과(폴리페놀, 플라보노이드, DPPH, ABTS)를 연구하여, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 히비스커스의 총 폴리페놀은 HSE 100%일 때 433 ㎍/mL로 나타났다. 둘째, 총 플라보노이드는 HSE 100%에서 488 ㎍/mL로 항산화 능력이 높게 나타났다. 셋째, DPPH radical 소거능은 원액 HES 100%에서 94.04%, 희석액 HSE 20%에서 89.54%로 나타났다. 넷째, ABTS radical 소거능은 HSE 원액 100%에서 98.95%, 희석액 HSE 20%에서 94.84%로 각각 90% 이상의 높은 소거능을 나타냈다. 이러한 연구 결과 히비스커스 추출물은 향후 화장품 천연소재의 항산화 원료로 사용이 가능하다고 사료된다.

In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial effect of 14 different herbal petal extracts on various foodborne and food spoilage bacteria. Herbal petal extracts were prepared with 70% ethanol followed by sequential hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water fractionation. Antimicrobial activity was highest in the ethanol fraction from roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) petals as determined by the paper disc method. The roselle ethanol extract retarded the growth of food spoilage bacteria in kimbap (rice rolled in dried laver). Foodborne microorganisms (e.g. Bacillus cereus and Clostridium perfringens), on the other hand, were most efficiently inhibited by the ethyl acetate fraction of the roselle petal extract as determined by growth inhibition curves. Our study shows that roselle petals harbor antimicrobial activity against foodborne and food spoilage microorganisms. The critical ingredient is highly enriched in the ethyl acetate fraction of the extract.

This research investigates the effect of the Hibiscus syriacus(HSS) on Alzheimer's disease. The effects of the HSS extract on the behavior in the Morris water maze experiment; the expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-1β mRNA, TNF-α mRNA, CD68/GFAP and RDS; the the infarction area of the hippocampus, and brain tissue injury in Alzheimer's diseased mice induced with M were investigated. The HSS extract group showed a significant inhibitory effect on the memory deficit on the mice with Alzheimer's disease induced by βA in the Morris water maze experiment. The HSS extract group suppressed the over-expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA, CD68/GFAP, RDS in the mice with Alzheimer's disease induced by βA. The HSS extract reduced the infarction area of hippocampus, and controlled the injury of brain tissue in the mice with Alzheimer's disease induced by βA. This study suggest that HSS may be effective for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease

Column chromatographic separation of the MeOH extract from the aerial parts of Hibiscus manihot led to the isolation of four compounds. Their structures were characterized to be hentriacontane (1), palmitic acid (2), daucosterol (3) and 3-dihydrocaffeonyl-5-p-coumaroylquinic acid (4) by spectroscopic methods. The compounds (1~4) were for the first time reported from this plant. The solvent fractions were tested for their antioxidant activities by free radical scavenging and superoxide dismutase (SOD).

Antimicrobial and antioxidative effects of 14 different herbal flower extracts on skin microorganisms and oxidation were tested in this research. Herbal flower extracts were prepared with 70% ethanol. Among the herbal flower extracts, roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) flower extract showed the highest antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis as determined by a paper disc method. The seventy % ethanol extract of roselle flower was fractionated by sequential hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water fractionation. The growth of S. epidermidis, Streptomyces collinus, Streptomyces coeruleoprunus, Salmonella enteritidis, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Malassezia pachydermatis was most efficiently inhibited by ethyl acetate fraction of roselle flower extract as determined by a paper disc method and growth inhibition curves. In addition, the ethyl acetate fraction, water fraction and butanol fraction showed free radical scavenging and DNA cleavage inhibition activities. These results demonstrate that roselle flowers hold antimicrobial and antioxidative activities against skin microorganisms and oxidants.
