본 연구는 한방화장품의 원료로써 사용이 되는 약용식물들의 부위별 및 추출용매에 따른 추출물의 효능의 차이를 기술하였다. 기존의 단일성분 분석법보다 실제로 성분의 복합체인 추출물에 대하여 항산화와 UV흡수 관련 효능효과 시험법을 적용하였다. 약효를 가지는 약용식물들을 추출할 때 고려해야 할 조건이 있다. 같은 약용식물이라도 채취시기, 채취장소, 채취부위와 같은 채취조건들과 용매의 종류, 추출시간, 추출온도와 같은 추출조건들을 고려하여야 한다. 조건 중에서 추출용매와 채집부위는 효과에 있어서 매우 중요한 요인이다. 약용식물에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 여러 가지의 채취조건과 추출조건을 연구하여 한방원료의 개발에 있어 좀더 다양한 적용이 요청되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 약용과 식용으로 널리 사용되는 식물(Terminalia chebula, Syzygium aromaticum, Paeonia lactiflora, Morus alba, Scutellaria baicalensis)을 선정하여 추출용매와 채집부위를 변경시킴으로써 용매와 부위에 따른 효능의 차이를 확인하였다. 이 결과로 추출시 적당한 조건을 선택한다면 사용되는 약용식물의 양을 줄이거나 좀더 효과적인 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

Red ginseng extracts accounted for the major precipitating material in red ginseng drink prepared with various components and pasteuralized at $80^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Precipitates in red ginseng extracts isolated by centrifugation were investigated for its chemical components and physicochemical properties. Recovery of precipitates in red ginseng extracts was 1.59% on a dry weight basis. Precipitates were composed of starch (71.47%), crude protein (21.75%), pectin (1.70%), polyphenol (2.97%) and calcium (3.83 ppm) but ginsenosides were not present. Absorption peak at 285 nm which appeared in red ginseng extracts was absent in the precipitates. pH and Hunter L value of the precipitates decreased, while Hunter a and b values increased in contrast to red ginseng extracts. Precipitates were solubilized to some extent in polar solvent. The shape of precipitate particle was round, sciral or irregular square. Particle size of precipitates varied from 0.17 $\mu\textrm{m}$ to 41.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in length.

This study was designed to analyze the effects of methanol extracts and solvent fractions of the young branch of Prunus persica on scavenging activity of ROS, RNS and inhibiting activity of oxidative modification in human LDL induced by copper ion or free radical generator. The scavenging capacities of the fractions on DPPH radical, superoxide radical, nitric oxide and peroxynitrite were exhibited the highest in ethylacetate fraction, followed by butanol fraction. In the copper-induced LDL oxidative modification system, the highest antioxidant activity was revealed in ethylacetate fraction, and butanol fraction exhibited a similar activity. However, solvent fractions of the young branch of Prunus persica showed a relatively low antioxidant activity in the AAPH-mediated LDL oxidation. In addition, ethylacetate and butanol fractions also inhibited the copper-mediated LDL oxidation in the REM assay, which was comparable to that of the positive controls, including EDTA, ascorbic acid and BHT. Futhermore, a content of total phenolics in these two fractions was higher than that of the other fractions. These results indicated that ethylacetate and butanol fractions of the young branch of Prunus persica were useful for the prevention of the free radical- or metal ion-induced oxidative damages.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the phenolic acid, proanthocyanidin (PAs), and flavonol glycoside contents, as well as the antioxidant activities of pine needle extracts from six species of young pine trees. The extracts were prepared from Section Pinus (Diploxylon): P. densiflora, P. sylvestris, P. pinaster and P. pinea, and Section Strobus (Haploxylon): P. koraiensis and P. strobus. Phenolics were extracted from pine needles with 80% acetone to obtain the soluble free fraction, and insoluble residues were digested with 4 M NaOH to obtain bound ethyl acetate and bound water fractions. Phenolics were analyzed by HPLC, and the hydrophilic antioxidant activity was measured using oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the soluble free fraction were higher than those of the bound ethyl acetate and bound water fractions. The main phenolics were monomers and polymers of PAs in the soluble free fraction, and phenolic acids and flavonol glycosides in bound ethyl acetate fraction. Flavonol glycosides found in different species of pine needles were qualitatively similar within fractions, but composition varied among Pinus sections. High levels of kaempferol arabinoside and an unknown compound were present in all Strobus species. The soluble free fraction had the highest antioxidant activity, followed by bound ethyl acetate and bound water fractions.

This study is carried out to evaluate the genotoxicity of herbs (Angelica decursiva, Polypori umbellate, Astragalus membranaceua, Paeonia iactiflora, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Cnidium officinale, Rehmannia glutinosa, Cyperus rotundus, Dioscorea batatas and Platycodi Radix) by using the Ames test. The Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay is being performed by using the Sal. typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537 as tester strains. Among 70% of ethanol extracts from 10 herbs, the number of revertant colonies is being increased in Astragalus membranaceua, Cnidium officinale and Dioscorea batatas in a dose-dependent manner, as compared with negative controls of the metabolic activation. In case of dichloromethane and ethyl acetate fraction from 70% of ethanol extracts, the number of revertant colonies is increased in Angelica decursiva, Astragalus membranaceua, Cnidium officinale, Rehmannia glutinosa and Dioscorea batatas in a dose-dependent manner, as compared with negative controls of metabolic activation. Such results indicate that Angelica decursiva, Astragalus membranaceua, Cnidium officinale, Rehmannia glutinosa and Dioscorea batatas all show genotoxic effects when being extracted with the solvent extractions such as 70% of ethanol, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate, and thus, they might be genotoxically- non-safe.

Antioxidant activities of 80% methanol, water, and 70% ethanol extracts of Lentinula edodes GNA01 were compared and estimated. The yield of Lentinula edodes GNA01 was identified to be in the following order: water>70% ethanol>80% methanol, but there was no significant difference between 80% methanol and 70% ethanol extracts. The highest total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) were found in water extract, and TPC of 80% methanol extract was higher than that of 70% ethanol extract and TFC of 70% ethanol extract was higher than that of 80% methanol extract. Water extract exhibited the strongest DPPH, ABTS radicals, and nitrite scavenging activities, $Fe^{2+}$ chelating ability, and FRAP among the three extracts. In addition, antioxidant activity of 80% methanol extract was higher than that of 70% ethanol extract in most of the experiments. As a result, antioxidant activity of Lentinula edodes GNA01 showed a difference according to extraction solvent and concentration; nevertheless, water extract exhibiting high polarity had the strongest antioxidant effect. Consequently, water extract from Lentinula edodes GNA01 is anticipated to be useful for the development of a high value-added functional product.
