This study was designed to investigate effective preprocess methods for the antioxidant activity of Lycopus lucidus Trucz tubers extract. Lycopus lucidus Trucz tubers (LlTT) were treated with D (Dried), SD (Steamed and Dried), ASD (Alcohol-Steamed and Dried), DR (Dried and Roasted), SDR (Steamed, Dried and Roasted), and ASDR (Alcohol-Steamed, Dried and Roasted). Solid content was high in Lycopus lucidus Trucs tubers, which were roasted after drying (especially SDR, ASDR). Total sugar and reducing sugar contents were high in roasted ones. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were high upon alcohol-steaming in both the dried and roasted groups. Antioxidant activities of LlTT extracts showed effective nitrate scavenging ability, ABTs radical scavenging ability, Xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, and DPPH radical scavenging ability. As a result, roasting or steaming process (especially using alcohol) can be helpful to obtain the highly antioxidative extract of Lycopus lucidus Trucs tubers.

본 연구는 고온 고압의 autoclaving 조건에서 2시간 내외로 증삼한 인삼과 그 용출액으로 2단계 열풍건조법으로 제조한 홍삼을 분말로 하여 그 열수추출물에 대한 이화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 즉 시료로 사용한 홍삼의 제조는 고온 고압으로 증삼한 용출액을 건조시 증삼 표면에 바르고 건조하여 외형이 흑삼 모양으로 변하였다. 홍삼 분말로부터 열수추출물의 총 폴리페놀, 총 플라보노이드, 총당, 산성다당체, 조사포닌 등의 함량을 분석하고, 색차계와 전자코를 이용하여 향미 성분을 측정하였다. Autoclave를 이용한 홍삼 열수추출물(ARG)의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 9.06 mg GAE/g, 총 플라보노이드 3.38 mg NE/g, 총당 35.22 g/100 g, 산성다당체 10.90 g/100 g, 조사포닌 10.22 g/100 g으로 나타났다. 본 홍삼제조법에 의해 얻어진 홍삼을 이용한 열수추출물은 총 폴리페놀, 총 플라보노이드, 조사포닌 등의 최종 함량이 다른 홍삼 제조법에 비해 높게 나타났으며, 고온 고압으로 단시간에 얻은 증삼액인 용출액은 진세노사이드 조성이 다양하였다. Rb1을 포함한 인삼의 주요 진세노사이드 총 함량은 ARG에서 가장 낮은 10.69 mg/g으로 나타났으며 가공 조건이 홍삼 특유의 진세노사이드로의 전환에 영향을 주었다. Autoclave로 얻어진 홍삼 및 용출액은 홍삼성분의 저분자량으로의 변환을 통해 색의 강화 등 향미성분이 개선되어 식품 뿐만 아니라 비식품의 소재 및 제품을 위한 수요가 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the functional ingredients of Perilla Frutescens L. Britt extracts and to confirm the possibility of producing PVA nanofibers using extracts. Distilled water, 3% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and ethanol were used as extraction solvents. The electrospinning was carried out at a PVA concentration of 12%, an applied voltage of 10 kV and a tip to collector distance of 15cm. The contents of volatile substances, essential oils, total polyphenols and flavonoids of the extracts were measured to examine the constituents of functional materials. Flavor components and esters were identified in 3% sodium hydroxide and ethanol extracts. The content of polyphenols and flavonoids in ethanol extracts was higher than that of medicinal plants. 1wt.% of Tween 20 was added to disperse the essential oil components of the ethanol extract. Addition of a dispersant made it possible to produce a homogeneous mixture by having some compatibility with the ethanol extracts and the PVA molecule. When the concentration of the ethanol extract was 0.25 and 0.5wt%, relatively uniform PVA nanofiber having an average diameter of 350 to 365nm could be produced. The results of FT-IR, XRD and DSC analysis confirmed that Perilla Frutescens L. Britt ethanol extract was well mixed with PVA molecules and was electrospun.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Ginger, a root vegetable, is known to have antioxidant and antiobesity effects. Preparation, such as by steaming, can affect the chemical composition of prepared root vegetables or herbs and can change their functional activities. In the present study, we investigated the protective effects of steamed ginger against oxidative stress and steatosis in C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet. MATERIAL/METHODS: The levels of polyphenols and flavonoids in two different extracts of steamed ginger, i.e., water extract (SGW) and ethanolic extract (SGE); as well, their antioxidant activities were examined. Forty male C57BL/6J mice were fed a normal diet (ND, n = 10), high-fat diet (HFD, 60% fat, w/w, n = 10), HFD supplemented with 200 mg/kg of SGE or garcinia (GAR) by weight (SGED or GARD, respectively, n = 10) for 12 weeks. Serum chemistry was examined, and the expressions of genes involved in lipid metabolism were determined in the liver. Histological analysis was performed to identify lipid accumulations in epididymal fat pads and liver. RESULTS: The SGE had higher contents of polyphenols and flavonoids and higher DPPH and $ABTS^+$ free radical scavenging activities compared to those of SGW. Treatment with SGE or GAR significantly decreased the HFD-induced weight gain. Both SGE and GAR significantly reduced the high serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein levels induced by HFD. Compared to ND, HFD significantly increased hepatic TC and TG levels. SGE or GAR supplementation significantly decreased the increase of hepatic lipids by HFD. Interestingly, SGE had a more significant effect in reducing hepatic TC and TG levels than GAR. Furthermore, hepatic genes involved in lipogenesis and lipolysis were altered in both the SGED and GARD groups. CONCLUSIONS: The present study indicates that steamed ginger supplementation can decrease plasma TC and TG and can inhibit liver steatosis by regulating the expressions of hepatic genes.

Soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merill] are a rich source of antioxidants and other phytonutrients. Soybean sprouts contain many biologically active secondary metabolites and are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. In the present study, two soybean cultivars, Hosim, with high oleic acid (- 80% in total seed oil), and Pungsannamul, with normal oleic acid (- 23%) in seed, were examined for changes in the content of crude protein, crude oil, total flavonoids, total phenolics, and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) during the sprouting duration of 5 days. The protein content in both the varieties was found to increase by the days of sprouting. The crude oil content of Pungsannamul sprouts was found to be maximum on day 1 (16.9%, w/w) and decreased thereafter to reach to the level of 14.8% on day 5. No significant differences in the crude oil content of Hosim sprouts from day 1 to 5 were observed. Flavonoid content was found to increase up to day 4 and then dropped on day 5, in both the cultivars. Total polyphenol content showed a tendency to increase up to day 3 and started to decrease significantly from day 4. DPPH activity was found to increase up to day 5 in both the varieties. All the components studied in the high oleic acid soybean sprouts showed a change in content during the sprouting process similar to the change that would occur in normal oleic acid soybeans. The study showed that the contents of antioxidant, flavonoid, and polyphenol significantly increase during the sprouting.

본 연구는 한국에서 많이 재배하는 배나무속(Pyrus)의 신고배(P. pyrifolia var. culta)와 한국산 야생배 5종의 항산화 물질의 함량 및 항산화 활성을 비교하기 위하여 수행하였다. 돌배나무(P. pyrifolia), 취앙네(P. ussuriensis var. acidula), 백운배나무(P. ussuriensis var. hakunensis), 문배나무(P. ussuriensis var. seoulensis), 무심이배(P. ussuriensis var. seoulensis) 등 5종류의 한국산 야생배와 신고배의 페놀성 물질의 함량을 분석한 결과, 총 폴리페놀의 함량은 신고배(76.8 $mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$, D.W.), 총 플라보노이드의 함량은 취앙네(1.12 $mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$, D.W.)에서 가장 많았다. 식물의 종류에 따라 총 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드의 함량은 각기 달랐으나, P. pyrifiolia 계통에서는 총 폴리페놀의 함량이 총 플라보노이드의 함량보다 많고, P. ussuriensis 계통에서는 총 플라보노이드의 함량이 총 폴리페놀의 함량 보다 많은 경향을 보였다. DPPH radical 소거활성은 문배나무($RC_{50}$=1.45 $mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$), ABTS radical 소거활성은 취앙네($RC_{50}$=0.69 $mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$)에서 가장 우수하였다. 신고배는 총 폴리페놀의 함량이 가장 높았으나 DPPH와 ABTS radical 소거활성은 가장 낮았으며, 문배나무의 과실은 페놀성 물질의 함량은 낮았으나 radical 소거능이 우수한 특징을 보였다. $Fe^{2+}$ chelating은 radical 소거능이 낮았던 신고배(95.93%)와 무심이배(68.71%)에서 우수하였다. 따라서 야생배의 페놀성 물질의 함량은 radical 소거활성과 반드시 비례하지 않으며, 추출물의 radical 소거활성 또한 $Fe^{2+}$ chelating 활성과 비례하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 연구의 결과, 한국산 야생배 중 취앙네, 문배나무, 무심이 배의 과실은 신고배보다 항산화활성이 우수하거나 유사한 것으로 나타나 항산화 기능성 천연소재로 활용가치가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이들은 각기 우수한 항산화 활성이 다르므로 단독으로 사용하기 보다는 함께 이용하여 항산화활성을 증가시킬 수 있는 방법을 개발할 필요가 있는 것으로 생각되었다.

We evaluated the effects of heat treatment on various properties of onion extracts (Allium cepa). Onion was heated at various temperatures ($110-150^{\circ}C$) for various times (1-5 hr), and the total polyphenol, flavonoid, and free sugar contents, and antioxidant activity were investigated. With increased heating temperatures and exposure times, the total contents of polyphenols and flavonoids, as well as antioxidant activity increased. The highest total polyphenol content (189.80 mg/100g) occurred after heating for 2 hr at $140^{\circ}C$. The highest total flavonoid content (252.51 mg/100g) occurred after heating for 3 hr at $150^{\circ}C$. The antioxidant activity assessed using the DPPH method was highest, at 2.1 mg/mL ($IC_{50}$ value), after heating for 2 hr at $150^{\circ}C$. Correlations between antioxidant activity and the total polyphenol, total flavonoid, and fructose contents were highly significant (all p<0.01). The optimal heating time and temperature were 2 hr and $130^{\circ}C$.
