In this study, the effect of gamma irradiation on the microbial contamination and biological activities of tuna cooking juices was investigated. Tuna cooking juice was by-produced during the canning processing, and had various functional components. But, it was shown that the tuna cooking juice was seriously contaminated. Gamma irradiation effectively reduced the microbial population in tuna cooking juice. Also, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, tyrosinse inhibitory activity, and ACE inhibitory activity of tuna cooking juices were all increased as a result of gamma irradiation. These results suggest that wasted tuna cooking juices can be used as a functional component in the food and cosmetic industries if the irradiation technology were applied.

Effects of irradiation on color removal, tyrosinase inhibition, xanthine oxidase inhibition and nitrite scavenging capacity of Lonicera japonica extracts were evaluated. Lonicera japonica extracts were irradiated at 10, 20, and 30 kGy. Hunter color $L^{*}$- and $a^{*}$-values increased but $b^{*}$-values decreased dose-dependently following irradiation. The extracts were potent inhibitors of tyrosinase and xanthine oxidase. Tyrosinase inhibition was higher in the irradiated sample than non-irradiated, and subsequently increased with increasing irradiation doses. The extracts had a higher inhibitory effect against xanthine oxidase, and the effect was not changed by irradiation. Nitrite scavenging capacity was the highest in the extract at pH 1.2, and was not significantly affected by irradiation. These results indicate that gamma irradiation may not influence the biological activities of Lonicera japonica extracts when irradiated up to 30 kGy. Furthermore, color of the extracts can be improved to have improved applicability for the food and cosmetic industries without any adverse change in biological functions.ons.s.

We investigated the effect of propolis on the activity of antioxidant enzymes in rat liver exposed by X-ray irradiation. The dosage of propolis showed the effect of lowering the concentration of superoxide anion in irradiated rat liver, suggesting that propolis has a significant role to remove superoxide anion as an antioxidant and/or by activating the antioxidant enzyme. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione reductase (GR), disturbed by X-ray irradiation, were restored in 30 days to normal status in the group which dosed propolis before X-ray irradiation. Interestingly, catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPOX) activities were highly increased with feeding propolis to rat compared to untreated group, whereas glutathione s-transferase (GST) activity was little affected. Taken together, it suggests that the propolis has a protective role in the rat liver cells against X-ray irradiation by increasing and recovering the activities of antioxidant enzymes.

Ionizing radiation can be used to improve the color of green tea extract to brighter. As a result, the irradiated green tea extract can be applied easier and broader in food or cosmetic industry. To confirm the retention of the biological activities of the cosmetic products added with green tea polyphenols (PPs), the real cosmetic products including a skin lotion (PS) and an essence (PE) cream were manufactured. Irradiation also applied to the manufactured cosmetic products to see their improvement of color and changes of biological activity. The PP showed 72% of electron donating ability (EDA) at a 5 ppm concentration and the PS and PE containing 2% PP showed higher than 60%, which was similar inhibition activity to vitamin C. The inhibition of superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity of PP, PS, and PE were higher than 55% at a 500 ppm concentration and the inhibition of xanthine oxidase (XOase) were also higher than 65% at a 200 ppm concentration. The measurement of lipid oxidation by addition of $Cu^{2+}$ and $Fe^{2+}$ as prooxidants showed that PP and PS had higher metal chelating ability for $Fe^{2+}$ than that of PE and the ability increased by increase of polyphenol concentration isolated from green tea. The $Cu^{2+}$ chelating ability of PP and PS showed higher than 90% at a 200 ppm concentration. Therefore, it is concluded that addition of PP in manufacturing PS and PE retains its biological activities including EDA, inhibition of XOase and SOD-like activity, and metal chelating ability in the manufactured cosmetic products. In addition, irradiation of PS and PE improved color of the products containing PP brighter without any adverse changes in biological activity of the products.

Irradiation of the berberinephenolbetaine in a stream of argon produced the 8,14-cycloberberines [1]. On treatment with ethylchloroformate $C_8-N$ bond cleavage of the compound [1] occurred, accompanied with dehydrochlorination to give 7-ethylcarboxyisoquinoline [3], and the product [3] treated with strong alkali solution to give the 13-oxonorotensane [4] in 64% yield. Irradiation of the compound [4] converted easily to dihydro-8H-dibenzo[a, g] quinolizine-8-one [5]. and then the compound [5] was treated with methyliodide to give the 8-oxo-quinolizinium methiode. The intermediate colume chromatography on IRA-400 afforded the benzo[c, g]azecine-5-one[6] in 63% yield. The results of biological activities for these compounds are also presented.

천연 약용식물에 있어서 감마선 조사 처리는 기능성 물질탐색에 적용 시 추출수율 증진, 색상 개선 등 산업적 응용을 용이하게 하는 방법으로 활용이 기대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 감마선 조사가 총목피 추출물의 생리활성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 감마선 조사 처리한 총목피의 감마선 조사여부를 확인하기 위하여 광자극 발광(PSL) 및 열 발광(TL) 방법을 활용하여 감마선 조사 판별 확인시험을 진행하였다. PSL법의 경우 비조사구 0 kGy에서 400.00 PCs로 음성(negative) 시료로 판단되었으며, 조사구 5, 10, 30 kGy에서 각각 90,100.00 PCs, 312,614.33 PCs, 321,661.67 PCs로 나타나 감마선을 조사한 양성(positive) 시료로 확인되었다. TL법 적용 시 비조사구 0 kGy에서 자연방사선에 의한 $300^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 조사구 5, 10, 30 kGy는 $150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$의 부근에서 특유의 glow curve를 나타내었다. TL ratio는 비조사구 0 kGy에서 0.011로 0.1 이하의 값을 나타냈으며, 조사구 5, 10, 30 kGy는 각각 1.105, 1.009, 2.206으로 0.1이상의 값을 나타내어 조사구로 확인되었다. 감마선 조사처리한 총목피의 total phenolics 함량을 측정한 결과 0, 10, 30 kGy 선량 중 10 kGy의 조사선량에서 총목피 열수 및 50% ethanol 추출물의 total phenolics 함량이 각각 $17.30{\pm}0.40mg/g$, $18.87{\pm}0.46mg/g$으로 가장 높은 phenolics 함량을 나타내었다. 감마선 조사 처리한 총목피의 angiotensin converting enzyme 저해효과와 xanthin oxidase 저해효과는 비조사구에 비해 조사구에서 열수 및 50% ethanol 추출물 모두 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Pancreatin ${\alpha}$-amylase 저해효과와 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해효과는 총목피 열수 및 50% ethanol 추출물 $200{\mu}g/mL$ phenolics 농도 처리 시 0~30 kGy의 모든 선량에서 60~100%에 가까운 높은 저해율을 나타내어 현재 당뇨병 치료제로 사용되고 있는 acarbose와 비교 시 월등히 우수한 항당뇨 효과를 확인할 수 있었고, 이를 통해 감마선 조사 처리한 총목피 추출물은 천연소재로써 항당뇨 관련 기능성 소재로 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 이상의 결과 총목피 추출물은 다양한 생리활성을 가진 기능성 소재로 활용이 가능한 것으로 생각되었으며 감마선의 조사에 의해서 총목피의 생리활성이 증대되는 현상을 확인함으로써 감마선 조사가 식물체가 나타내는 생리활성을 증폭시킬 수 있는 수단으로 활용이 가능할 것이라 판단되었다.

오미자 추출물을 감마선 조사하여 색택 개선, 항산화성, 항균성에 대하여 실험하였다. 오미자의 추출 방법은 열수추출, ethanol, methanol 그리고 acetone으로 추출하였으며, 감마선 조사는 10, 20 그리고 30 kGy로 하였다. 감마선 조사 선량이 증가할수록 명도(Hunter color L-value)의 경우 비조사구보다 조사구가 월등히 밝은 색을 보였으며, 적색도(a값)와 황색도(b값)는 감소하는 결과를 보여줬다. TBA가 분석 결과는 ethanol로 추출한 경우 가장 높은 항산화력을 확인하였다. 전자 공여능의 측정 결과는 열수 추출한 경우에 비조사구와 조사구 모두 가장 활성이 높았으며 ethanol과 methanol의 경우에는 비조사구와 비슷한 활성을 보여줬다. 오미자 추출 용매별 및 감마선 조사 선량에 따른 항균효과는 B. subtilis, B. natto, B. megaterium, S. aureus, Sal, typhymurium과 E. coli 등 모든 균주에 대해 아주 높은 항균 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 오미자 추출물은 30 kGy까지 감마선을 조사하여도 추출물의 생리 활성에는 영향을 미치지 않았다 따라서 감마선 조사 기술은 천연 식품 보존제 및 화장품 원료로서 사용하기 위한 오미자 추출물의 색택 개선에 활용 가능성이 높을 것으로 기대된다.

Skin is constantly exposed to air, solar radiation, ozone and other air pollutants formulating free radicals. The reactive oxygen species(ROS), formed under these conditions, are associated with skin cancers, cutaneous photoaging, and cutaneous inflammatory disorders. In this study, we sought to establish an animal model for UVB-induced skin alteration using BALB/c mice. The level of UVB irradiation used in this model was within physiological dose. BALB/c mice were exposed to a single dose of UVB ($200mJ/cm^2$ and were sacrificed at 3, 6, 24, and 48 hours following the irradiation. The effect of a single exposure to UVB irradiation on skin catalase(CAT), superoxide dismutase(SOD), and glutathione peroxidase(GPx) activities were examined. Significant decrease in the activity of all enzymes were observed at 6 hours after irradiation(p<.05). The activity of CAT decreased more sharply than those of SOD and GPx, and then remained depressed until 48 hours after UVB irradiation, whereas the activity of GPx recovered to basal level at 48 h after UVB irradiation. Our results indicate that BALB/c mouse could be an adequate animal model of UVB irradiation experiment. These results will also provide fundamental knowledge for the effective nursing strategies in reducing UV-induced skin disorders.

Effects of extraction conditions, gamma-irradiation and storage conditions on bioactivities of Citrus (Citrus unshiu) peel extract were investigated. The Hunter color $L^{*}$- and $a^{*}$-values of the extract increased but $b^{*}$-value decreased with an increase in absorbed irradiation dose. DPPH radical scavenging, tyrosinase inhibition and nitrite scavenging activities were not affected by irradiation but reduced by increased storage time. Nitrite scavenging activity of the extract was the highest at pH 1.2 followed by pH 4.2 and 6.0 and not changed by storage. Results indicated that there is potential for using citrus peel byproducts as a bioactive ingredient, and that gamma irradiation brightens the color of the extract without adversely altering its biological activity.ity.
