본 연구에서는 대표적인 섬유작물인 케나프의 가축 사료용으로 이용 가능성을 검증하기 위해서 한국원자력연구원에서 개발한 신품종 장대와 다른 품종들(옥수, C12, C14-DRS)에서 생육특성과 유용물질 함량을 비교 분석하였다. 전체적으로 돌연변이 신품종 장대가 다른 대조품종들보다는 생육이 좋았는데 특히 생체중, 건물중, 줄기직경, 마디 수에서 대조품종들보다 1.6~3.1배 가량 높은 생육 특성을 보였다. 조단백질과 조지방 함량은 장대의 줄기에서 가장 높았으며, 잎에서는 가장 적게 나타났다. 줄기의 조섬유와 조회분 함량은 계통들간의 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 잎의 조섬유 함량은 C14-DRS가 가장 높았으며 그 다음으로 장대가 높았다. ADF함량은 옥수의 줄기와 잎에서 가장 많이 나타났으며 NDF는 장대의 줄기와 잎에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 총폴리페놀과 총플라보노이드 함량은 옥수, C12, 장대, C14-DRS순으로 나타났다.

In this study, to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of kaempferol and its rhamnosides isolated from Hibiscus cannabinus L. leaves, we investigated UVB-induced inhibitory effects on inflammatory reaction by measuring the cytokine as the prostaglandin (PGE2), interleukine-6 (IL-6) and interleukine-8 (IL-8). We investigated the inhibitory effects of kaempferol and its rhamnosides on TARC (thymus and activation-regulated chemokine) and PGE2. Kaempferol and α-rhamnoisorobin showed inhibition activity of TARC generated to compared to positive control. Kaempferol, α-rhamnoisorobin and afzelin Inhibited the release of PGE2. Also, only kaempferol significantly inhibited interleukine-6 (IL-6), interleukine-8 (IL-8) among UVB-induced inflammatory cytokine.

The results on the useful functional compounds of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) leaves cultivated in reclaimed lands and the biological activity effects of extracts were as follows. On 98 days after sowing (DAS) Tainung-2 showed the highest total chlorophyll content (1.68 mg/g), and on 141 DAS Dowling showed higher chlorophyll content (1.50 mg/g) than the other two did. In all cultivars the total chlorophyll content was higher on 141 DAS than on 98 DAS. Total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents were the highest in Tainung-2 (30.50 mg/g and 57.03 mg/g, respectively), and total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents (30.50 mg/g and 57.03 mg/g, respectively) were the highest in 30% ethanol extraction. Ascorbic acid contents were higher on 141 DAS than on 98 DAS in three cultivars. SOD activities of kenaf leaf extract were generally over 90%. DPPH radical scavenging activity of Tainung-2 was higher than others.
