  • 한약재 혼합 효과와 chitosan 병용효과가 김치의 보존성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 자초·감초 추출액 혼합 첨가(LG)와 절임 배추를 1% chitosan 용액에 침지 후 혼합 한약재를 첨가한 김치(LGDC)를 $10^{\circ}C$에서 25일간 발효시키면서 김치의 특성을 검토하였다. 김치 숙성 중 pH, 산도 총균수, 유산균수, 유산균 분포의 변화, 색택, 기호성을 대조구와 비교한 결과, LG군과 LGDC군은 대조구와 비교시, pH 감소속도는 완만하였고, 산도증가도 더 낮게 나타났으며, 총균수, 유산균수, Leuconostoc sp., L. plantarum 균수의 증식은 억제되었으며, LGDC군은 그 효과가 더욱 크게 나타났다. 특히 Leuconostoc sp., L. plantarum과 김치 유산균에 대해 초기부터 높은 억제능을 나타내었으며 이로써 chitosan에 대한 유산균 특이성에 대한 연구가 더욱 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료되었다. 김치의 관능검사 결과 신맛은 대조구에 비해 낮게 나타났으며 향, 종합적 기호도 등은 대조구와 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않아 자초, 감초 및 chitosan은 김치 숙성을 지연시키기 위한 첨가제로서 적당한 것으로 나타났다.

  • According to the expansion of lifespan, neuronal disorder based on inflammation has been social problem. Therefore, we isolated shikonin from Lithospermum erythrorhizon and evaluated anti-inflammatory effects of shikonin in lipopolysaccharide (LSP)-stimulated BV2 microglial cells. Shikonin dose-dependently inhibits the expression of the proinflammatory mediators, nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$), and tumor necrosis factor-${\kappa}B$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) as well as their main regulatory genes and products such as inducible NO synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and TNF-${\alpha}$ in LPS-stimulated BV2 microglial cells. Additionally, shikonin suppressed the LPS-induced DNA-binding activity of nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ (NF-${\kappa}B$) to regulate the key regulatory genes of the proinflammatory mediators, such as iNOS, COX-2, and TNF-${\alpha}$, accompanied with downregulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. The results indicate that shikonin may downregulate the expression of proinflammatory genes involved in the synthesis of NO, $PGE_2$, and TNF-${\alpha}$ in LPS-treated BV2 microglial cells by suppressing ROS and NF-${\kappa}B$. Taken together, our results revealed that shikonin exerts downregulation of proinflammatory mediators by interference the ROS and NF-${\kappa}B$ signaling pathway.

  • The effects of basal media, carbon, nitrogen, phosphate and some major macro elements on growth and shikonin production in Lithospermum erythrorhizon hairy root culture were studied. Among examined media, growth of hairy root cultured in B5 liquid medium was rapid, whereas shikonin production was high in MS liquid medium. Under B5 basal medium, sucrose concentration for optimal growth and shikonin production was 9% and 4% respectively. The growth and shikonin production on pH changes in B5 medium resulted little effect in pH 5.8 to pH 8.8 ranges, whereas growth was decreased dramatically in both above 8.8 and under 5.8. Nitrogen source and concentration effected on the growth and shikonin production. The highest growth rate was in B5 medium (50 mM $KNO_3$ and 1 mM $NaH_2PO_4)$, whereas the highest shikonin production was in the condition supplemented with 5 mM $KNO_3$ and 10 mM $NaH_2PO_4$.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the effects of ethanol extracts on lipid oxidation of oil emulsion. The results are as follows; The scavenging ability of plant extracts for hydroxyl radical was found, and plant extracts played an important role as a strong chelating agents to bind iron if Fe2+ ion exists in oil emulsion. Pinus densiflora(PD), Lithospermum erythrorhizon(LE) and PD+LE acted as strong chelating agents to bind iron to reduce lipid oxidation in oil emulsion. The content of Fe2+ ion in ethanol extracts from LE and PD+LE were significantly higher(p<0.05) than that of ethanol extracts from PD. The content of total iron has same tendency. The ascorbic acid content of PD(16.36ppm) was slightly higher than those of LE(13.08ppm). Electron donating ability of PD was significantly higher(p<0.05) than those of LE. However, the superoxide(SOD) like ability of LE showed a little higher than those of LE and PD+LE, which means the strong antioxidant activity of LE. The nitrite scavenging effects were dependent on pH value, however, they decreased as pH value increased. Especially, they almost didn't show the nitrite scavenging effect in pH 6.0. In conclusion, the PD and LE extracts may be used as natural antioxidant sources to reduce lipid oxidation in oil emulsion.
