백년초(손바닥 선인장)는 제주도를 비롯한 우리나라의 남해안에서 많이 생산되는 선인장의 일종으로 오래전부터 그 임상효능이 알려져 여러 가지 기능적 특성을 갖는 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 추출용매 및 방법에 따른 백년초 추출물에 대한 항균 및 항산화성에 대하여 조사하였다. 백년초의 항균활성은 대체적으로 환류추출법이 상온에서의 진탕추출법보다 조금 강하게 나타났고, 각 용매간에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 또한 모든 시험균주에 대하여 항균활성이 강
Ethyl acetate, methanol, water extract and their fractions from chestnut flower(Castancea crenata) were tested for antimicrobial activities. Yields of prebloomed chestnut flower extracts were 13.84, 12.90 and 1.82% in methanol, water and ethyl acetate, and those of the postbloomed were 13.12, 11.75 and 1.18%, respectively. Methanol extract from the chestnut flower was fractionated by solvents using hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water, yields of those fractions were 0.16, 0.08, 1.94, 4.75 and 6.91% in the prebloomed, and were 0.90, 0.13, 1.40, 3.42 and 7.18% in the postbloomed. In the solvent extracts of water, ethyl acetate and methanol, methanol extract showed the most effective antimicrobial activity, antimicrobial activity of ethyl acetate fraction of methanol extract was stronger than others. Minimum inhibitory concentration of ethyl acetate fractions from the prebloomed showed 100, 140, 100 and 90ppm against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Echerichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium, in fractions from the postbloomed were 140, 140, 100 and 150ppm, respectively. Growth of all the strains was completely inhibited to 30 hours in a 150ppm concentration. E. coli sells treated with ethyl acetate fraction was collapsed severely.
Corni Fructus extracts were investigated for antimicrobial and antioxidative activities. In the methanol, ethanol, water extracts from Corni Fructus, antimicrobial activity of the water extract was stronger than the others. Antimicrobial activities were strong against microorganisms such as Streptococcus mutans, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli and Escherichia coli O-157, the activity against Escherichia coli O-157 was the strongest of all the microorganisms. The growth of all the microorganisms were completely inhibited to 48 hours in the 150 per of culture media. the shape of E. coli O-157 treated with Corni Fructus water extract was expended and its cellular surface was collapsed severely. When Corni Fructus water extract of 200 was treated, hydrogen donating effect was more than 90%, and antioxidative activity using linoleic acid was similar to 0.1% BHT at the concentration of 50.
한국산 비파엾을 이용하여 식품으로서의 활용도를 높이기 위한 일환으로 비파엽차를 제조하여 그 이화학적 특성을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 비파엽차의 제조 중 일반성분은 2월 중순에 채취한 비파엽의 수분, 조지방 및 회분 함량은 10월에 비해 낮게 나타났으며, 무기성분은 2, 10월 중순에 채취한 비파엽의 경우 4파 볶음에서 각각 칼륨이 39,916.8, 23,950.0 ppm으로 높게 나타났다. ascorbic acid 유리당, 탄닌 및 카페인 함
