유백피의 천연항산화제로서의 이용성을 검토하기 위하여 각종 용매로 유백피 추출물을 제조하여 lard emulsion에 첨가하여 6에서 저장하면서 항산화 활성을 비교하고 항산화 활성이 우수한 추출물을 용매별로 분획하여 항산화 활성, 분획물의 첨가농도의 결정 및 기질특이성을 측정하였다. 또한 생체내에서도 분획물의 항산화 효과를 살펴보기 위하여 흰쥐 간 micmsome 을 사용하여 유도된 지질 과산화 반응에 대한 억제 효과를 측정하였다. 유백피의 추출물
The Ulmi corex extract was prepared using various solvents to investigate the availability as a natural antioxidant. The extracts were added to lard emulsion and the antioxidant activities were compared. The extract that had a greater antioxidant activity was fractionized. Then the antioxidant activity and substrate specificity of the fraction were examined and optimum concentration of addition was determined. To observe the antioxidative effect of the fraction in vivo, an inhibition rate of lipid peroxidation from which might be derived was measured using a microsome in rat's liver. Among the extracts of Ulmi cortex, the extract from water had the best antioxidant activity, and the addition of 0.05% (w/w) of ethyl acetate fraction showed similar antioxidant activity to a synthetic antioxidant, butylated hydroxyanisole(BHA). Ethyl acetate fraction (0.05%, w/w) also presented the antioxidative effect in lard, soybean oil, palm oil, and com oil. The inhibition of lipid peroxidation in liver microsome showed feater in the ethyl acetate fraction than caffeic acid in both nonenzymatic peroxidation (Fe++/ascorbate system) and enzymatic peroxidation (Fe++/-ADP/NaDPH system).
