Tocotrienols (T3) are minor plant constituents found abundantly in rice bran, which provide a significant source of vitamin E in animal feeds. T3 was reported to have an intrinsic hypocholesterolemic effect by inhibiting HMG-Co A reductase. It has similar antioxidative properties as tocopherols in food and biological system due to their similar chemical structures. However, the antioxidant activity and mechanism of T3 to scavenge free radicals and to inhibit the peroxidation of linoleic acid are less understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the scavenging effect of T3 on free radicals and its inhibition of peroxide formation. Free radical scavenging activity was monitored by the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method whereas inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation was evaluated using the thiocyanate method. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) test was used to determine malonaldehyde formation from linoleic acid peroxidation. Free radical scavenging activity increased with increasing concentration levels of T3. T3 exhibited 38.2, 78.6, 92.7 and 96.2% radical scavenging activity at concentrations of 2, 8, 32 and 128 ppm, respectively. At 128 ppm, it was highly effective in inhibiting linoleic acid peroxidation. The activity of T3 evaluated by the thiocyanate method showed low absorbance values indicating a high level of antioxidant activity. All treatments showed similar trends in antioxidant activity when evaluated by both the thiocyanate method and TBA test.

타액에 존재하는 여러 항균물질은 상호작용을 통하여 부가적이거나 상승작용을 나타내고 때로는 저해작용을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 in vitro 상에서 lysozyme과 peroxidase 사이의 상호작용을 효소활성 측면에서 조사하고자 시행되었다. Lysozyme과 peroxidase의 상호작용은 hen egg-white lysozyme(HEWL)과 bovine lactoperoxidase(bLP)를 혼합하는 방법으로 조사되었고, peroxidase system이 lysozyme에 미치는 영향은 potassium thiocyanate와 hydrogen peroxide를 추가적으로 첨가하는 방법으로 조사되었다. Lysozyme 활성은 Micrococcus lysodeikticus 기질용액의 혼탁도 변화를 측정하는 방법으로 측정되었고, peroxidase 활성은 NbsSCN 법으로 측정되었다. Wilcoxon signed rank 법을 이용하여 lysozyme과 peroxidase 효소활성 변화를 대조군과 비교하였다. 생리적 농도범위에서 bLP는 HEWL의 효소활성을 증가시켰으며(P < 0.05), 그 효과는 bLP의 농도증가에 따라 영향을 받았다. 하지만 HEWL는 bLP의 효소활성에 영향을 주지 못하였다. Thiocyanate는 HEWL의 효소활성에 영향을 주지 못하였고, potassium thiocyanate와 hydrogen peroxide를 추가한 peroxidase system도 HEWL 효소활성의 추가적인 상승을 유도하지는 못하였으며, hydrogen peroxide의 농도변화도 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 타액 항균 물질을 포함하고 있는 구강건강용품이나 구강에서 lysozyme과 peroxidase의 상호작용을 이해하는데 필요한 중요한 정보를 제공해준다.

마이크로웨이브 가열에 의하여 선택적으로 상변환을 일으키는 Au를 함유하는 황화광물을 조사하기 위하여 현미경과 SEM-EDS 분석을 수행하였으며 그리고 이에 따른 최대 Au 용출인자를 결정하기 위하여 티오시안산염 용출실험을 수행하였다. 비-가시성 Au를 함유하는 황화광물을 마이크로웨이브에 노출시킨 결과, 노출시간이 증가할수록 온도와 무게감소가 증가하였다. 이 황화광물 중 마이크로웨이브 가열에 가장 빠르게 선택적으로 상변환 된 광물은 황비철석이었다. 황비철석이 적철석으로 상변환되었으며, 상변환은 동심원적과 가장자리구조로 형성되었다. 또한 상변환 된 부분에서 O와 C가 검출되었으며, 일정하게 Fe 함량은 높게 그리고 As 함량은 낮게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 마이크로웨이브 가열에 의한 arcing과 산화작용이 일어났기 때문이다. 마이크로웨이브에 35분 노출시킨 시료를 티오시안산염 용출실험에 적용하여 Au가 최대로 용출되는 조건은 0.5 g의 티오시안산나트륨 농도, 2.0 M의 염산 농도, 0.3 M의 황산구리 농도 그리고 용출온도$60^{\circ}C$에서였다. 최대 Au 용출 조건을 마이크로웨이브 처리 시료에 적용했을 때 Au 용출률이 59%에서 96.96%로 나타났지만 마이크로웨이브에 처리하지 않은 시료에서는 겨우 24.53%에서 92%로 나타났다.

One of the most frequently used method for measurement of the degree of sizing (viz., hydrophobicity) is the Stockigt test. However, the Stockigt test was influenced by various factors such as dropping height, dropping amount, dropping speed and viewing angle. The resultant data of the sizing degree on the same specimen also varied according to different testers. Thus, the Stockigt test should be modified to be regarded as a highly reliable and reproducible standard method. For modifying the Stockigt test, it was required to quantify red coloration by reaction between 1％ ferric chloride and 2％ ammonium thiocyante during Stockigt testing. The cameras capturing the serial images during the red coloration process were the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor)-type and CCD (Charge Coupled Device)-type cameras. For measurement based on KS M 7025, the CCD-type camera must be used due to its high resolution, and on the other hand, for measurement based on Tappi Useful Method 429, the CMOS-type camera may be used owing to its low resolution. It was needed to covert the RGB values of a droplet image into HSV(Hue, Saturation, and Value) values because the human eyes are much closer to HSV than RGB. Among HSV values, the Hue value was accepted as the most reliable index consistent with the red coloration process by excluding the surrounding conditions such as light, tester's movement etc.

The antioxidant activities of sesame cake extracts prepared using ethanol and hot water were evaluated. Seventy percent-ethanol extracts yielded the highest total phenolic (96.56 mg/g extract) and flavonoid (8.35 mg/g extract) contents. In the ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching and ferric thiocyanate test, 30%-, 50%-, and 70%-ethanol extracts exhibited higher antioxidant activity than that exhibited by 90%-ethanol extracts. However, 90%-ethanol extracts showed greater antioxidant activities in phenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl free radical scavenging test and thiobarbituric acid test using corn oil. The antioxidant activities of sesame cake extracts did not correlate with the total phenolic and flavonoid contents; however, the results suggest that oxidative stability may be improved by sesame cake extracts.

Ligularia fischeri (LF) has been used to treat jaundice, scarlet-fever, rheumatoidal arthritis, and hepatic diseases. This study was carried out to determine the antioxidant activity of the extract from the leaves of LF by using various established in vitro systems with ${\alpha}$-tocopherol as positive control. The results showed that the ethanol extract of LF (0.05-0.5 mg/mL) displayed a strong free radical scavenging activity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, ${O_2}^{{\cdot}-}$, and $H_2O_2$ radicals. It was observed that LF extract (1 mg/mL) significantly decreased the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) to 69 and 89% of control, measured by ferric thiocyanate (FTC) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) test, respectively. LF extract (0.5-2 mg/mL) was also found to inhibit significantly the amount of malondialdehyde formed from liver homogenate to 69-56% of control. Similarly, in the high $Fe^{2+}/ascorbate$ induction system LF extract (1-2 mg/mL) inhibited carbonyl formation measured by 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine reaction to 89-79% of control. Like antioxidant activity, the reducing power of LF extract was excellent at concentration of 0.5-2 mg/mL. These results indicate that LF could be used as a potential source of natural antioxidant.

Objectives : This research aimed to evaluate the effects of Rubus coreanus $M_{IQ}$. Methods: These extracts from fresh R. coreanus $M_{IQ}$. were investigated with radical scavenging activity, the content of total phenolics, ferric thiocyanate method and flavonoid contents Results: These results revealed that the ethyl acetate extract from fresh R. coreanus $M_{IQ}$. possesses remarkable radical scavenging activity. The content of total phenolics of the ethanol extract from dried R. coreanus $M_{IQ}$. ($IC_{50}$=155.87${\pm}$8.8${\mu}$g/mL) is the highest among all of the samples. The stronger radical-scavenging activity ($IC_{50}$=77.72${\pm}$2.1${\mu}$g/mL) of ethyl acetate extract from dried R. coreanus $M_{IQ}$. should be related to its phenolic content as measured by gallic acid test. Conclusion: These results suggest that dried R. coreanus $M_{IQ}$. may act as a potential antioxidant agent.

Various natural compounds act as antioxidants in protection against lipid peroxidation. Lipid peroxidation yields a variety of decomposition products which have been implicated in not only decreasing the nutritional value of food, but also in developing an off-flavor and toxic substances. As a source of safer and more effective natural antioxidants of natural origin have been widely investigated. Some Indonesian plants have evaluated for their antioxidative activity, and suggested the possible existence of various antioxygenic compounds in them. We attempted to study such antioxygenic compounds with simple method evaluation. As we are interested in the natural product compounds, we examined of several sample such as edible sea-weeds, and some edible fruits. Sea-weed, Eisenia bicyclis, one of the edible brown algae, exhibited the activity. As a traditional food additive consumed by Indonesian, Garcinia parvifolia is used as taste supplement in region West Sumatra, have been studied. Our current studies on the semi-polar fractions shows the activity by the thiocyanate method test. Another sample, Garcinia mangostana, a famous fruit with sweet taste, the part kernel have also evaluated. The acidic fraction of the extract showed antioxidative activity. Some other active components were found in the neutral and BuOH fractions.
