${\gamma}-Oryzanol$ is one of the chain breaking antioxidants. Both sterol (triterpene) and phenolic hydroxyl groups in the structure of ${\gamma}-oryzanol$ may be responsible for its antioxidative function. We hypothesize that ${\gamma}-oryzanol$ is more effective in preventing the autoxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) than the synthetic phenolic compounds in an oil/water (O/W) emulsion system. The antioxidative effectiveness of different concentrations of ${\gamma}-oryzanol$ and synthetic antioxidants was evaluated at different incubation times (0, 4, 8, 16, and 32 h) by measuring both the formation of hydroperoxides and the decomposition product of hydroperoxides (hexanal) in each emulsion system. Overall, the order of effectiveness of various antioxidants for inhibiting the formation of hydroperoxide in the O/W emulsion was: ${\gamma}-oryzanol$> tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ)> butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)> butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA). O/W emulsion with selective lower concentrations of ${\gamma}-oryzanol$ showed better effectiveness than that with higher concentration of synthetic antioxidants. However, the ability of both ${\gamma}-oryzanol$ and synthetic antioxidants to decompose hydroperoxide was similar. ${\gamma}-Oryzanol$ was more effective antioxidant than the synthetic phenolic compounds in preventing the formation of hydroperoxide in the O/W emulsion system.

This study was performed to determined the antioxidant activities, anticancer and immuno-activities of anthocyanin fraction from Rubus coreanus Miquel fruits (Bokbunja). Anthocyanin fraction extracted from Bokbunja revealed the presence of three anthocyanin components, which were tentatively identified as cyanidin 3-O-sambubioside, cyanidin 3-O-xylosylrutinoside and cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside using RP-HPLC/DAD/MS. The anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja always showed reducing power and high scavenging activities against DPPH, hydroxy radical (OH) and superoxide anion radical ($O_2{^-}$) similar to general synthetic antioxidant and polyphenol compounds from plant origin. Anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja showed high inhibition on proliferation of LNCaP and A549 cells and did not inhibit the proliferation of other cancer cells. Immuno-activities of Anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja were investigated, it showed high promotion of human B and T cells growth about 50% and secretion of IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ by treatment after 6 days. Over all, the result of the study suggest that anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja displays antioxidant activity comparable to that general synthetic antioxidant, also, anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja are expected to be good candidate for development into source of anticaner and immuno-activator agent in food industry.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) disrupt the cellular redox balance, exert cytotoxic effects, and consequently promote the development of various diseases in humans. Previous studies have reported that antioxidants counteract the adverse effects of ROS. Several studies examine the whitening effects of various agents based on their ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity. Tyrosinase is a critical enzyme involved in the synthesis of melanin, which protects the skin against radiation. Various agents exhibiting antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities have been synthesized. However, these synthetic drugs are associated with toxicity, decreased safety, and poor skin penetration in vivo, which has limited the clinical application of synthetic drugs. This study examined the antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities of some microalgae. The methanol, dichloromethane, and ethyl acetate extracts of four microalgal species (Tetraselmis tetrathele, Dunaliella tertiolecta, Platymonas sp., and Chaetoceros simplex) were prepared. The physiological and whitening effects of microalgal extracts were investigated by measuring the antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities. The ethyl acetate extract of D. tertiolecta exhibited the highest antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities. Future studies must focus on examining the whitening effects of microalgae on cell lines to facilitate the development of microalga-based therapeutics for skin diseases, functional health foods, and whitening agents. Thus, microalgae have potential applications in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries.

Many synthetic antioxidants are now used to prevent the oxidation of oils and fats. Among the synthetic and tioxidants, it was known that those of HQ(Hydroquinone), BHA(Butyl hydroxyanisole), IG(isoamyl gallate), and NDGA(Nordihydro guaiaretic acid) are most efficient as the antioxidizing agent. In this work, Degree of antioxidation was investigated on the some such antioxidans BHA, CI(citric acid), AA(Ascoric acid) for several kinds of oils and fats which are most available in Korea by determining Acid value and Iodine Value. The results of experiments were as follows 1. The decreasing order of antioxidizing action by acid value is BHA, AA, CA. 2. The order of antioxidizing action by Iodine value is almost same as the case of Acid Value. 3. It is effective to add the antioxidants to kep oils and fat. 4. Oxidation is accelerated by standing oils and fats after boiling in the from fry pan. 5. Sesame oil is little oxidized without antioxidant.

운지버섯을 희석 감귤농축액과 일반 합성배지에서 각각 배양한 배양물을 열탕추출하고 여과하여 얻어진 버섯 배양추출물과 버섯을 접종하지 않은 희석 감귤농축액 자체에 대한 항산화 활성, 아질산 제거능, 그리고 항암활성을 조사 비교하였다. DPPH 전자공여를 이용한 항산화 활성에서 희석 감귤농축액에서 얻어진 배양추출물(Extract-I)은 89%, 일반 합성배지에서 얻어진 배양추출물(Extract-II)은 66%, 접종하지 않은 희석 감귤농축액 자체(Extract-III)는 22%의 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 아질산 제거능은 배양추출물 모두 산성 조건일수록 증가하였으며, Extrac-I은 67%, Extract-II는 54%, 그리고 Extract-III는 34%의 아질산 제거능을 보였다. HeLa, PC-3, HepG2 및 A-549 세포에 대한 항암활성을 조사한 결과, Exract-I는 각각의 암세포들에 대해서 순차적으로 75%, 82%, 55%, 그리고 82%의 높은 생육 저해 활성을 보였다. 반면에 Extract-II는 HeLa cell에 대해서만 66%의 생육저해를 보였고, Exoact-III는 모든 암세포의 생육을 저해하지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 운지버섯을 희석 감귤농축액에 배양함으로서 일반 합성배지에서 배양하거나 감귤농축액 자체 보다 항산화 활성과 항암활성을 현저히 증가시킬 수 있었다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant activity of each fraction from Sedum sarmentosum. Antioxidant activity of each fraction was measured using the DPPH radical assay, the ferric thiocyanate (FTC) method, and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method. The antioxidant activities were then compared with that of BHT(synthetic antioxidant). The ethyl acetate and butanol fractions were found to have significant DPPH radical scavenging activity, with scavenging potencies showing 90.61 % and 87.02%, respectively. Total phenolic compound contents, determined according to the Folin-Denis method, were found to be in the order of ethyl acetate>butanol>ethanol>chloroform>aqueous fraction. From the results, we have been able to establish a positive correlation between the antioxidant activity and the total phenolic compound content of the sample. The antioxidant activity in a linoleic acid system was measured using the ferric thiocyanate (FTC) method and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method. The ethyl acetate fraction had the highest antioxidant activity among the tested fractions. On the basis of these results, the ethyl acetate fraction provided equivalent or higher antioxidant activity as compared to BHT. These results suggest that Sedum sarmentosum is a potentially useful antioxidant for foods, cosmetics, and medicine.

A solid-phase synthetic approach is reported for the synthesis of an ascorbic acid (ASA)-dipeptide conjugate that exhibited enhanced antioxidant activity. The N-terminal amino group of dipeptide (Ala-Ala) on a resin support was first activated by 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), and then reacted with an ASA derivative. The addition of a base, triethylamine (TEA), promoted nucleophilic acylation of ASA derivative and yielded a desired product (ASA-Ala-Ala) with enhanced purity, when cleaved from the resin. Compared to the approach where a C3 hydroxyl group of ASA was first activated with CDI and then reacted with the amino group of dipeptide on the resin, this new approach allowed a significant reduction of a total reaction time from 120 h to 8 h at $25^{\circ}C$. As-prepared ASA-dipeptide conjugate (ASA-Ala-Ala) showed improved antioxidant activity compared to ASA.
