본 연구의 목적은 천연 보존료나 기능성 식품을 개발하기 위하여 오미자를 물과 70% 에탄올로 추출한 후, 추출물의 폴리페놀 함량, 생리활성(항균활성, 항산화능, 혈전용해능)을 측정하였다. 오미자의 물과 에탄올 추출물의 폴리페놀 함량은 각각 511.5, 696.6 mg/100 g이었다. 오미자의 물추출물과 에탄올추출물은 식중독세균인 L. monocytogenes와 S. aureus에 대하여 우수한 항균활성을 나타내었다. 물추출물과 에탄올추출물 1,
We research the development of natural preservatives or functional foods. Here Omija(Schijandra chinensis Baillon) was extracted with distilled water and 70%(v/v) ethanol, and extracts were tested for biological(antibacterial, antioxidative, and fibrino lytic) activities. The polyphenol contents of water and ethanol extracts were 511.5 and 696.6 mg/100 g of Omija, respectively. The water and ethanol extracts from Omija demonstrated antibacterial activity against Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. The electron-donating abilities(EDAs) of the water and ethanol extracts were 88.6% and 94.5% at 1,000 ppm. The superoxide dismutase(SOD)-like activities of the water and ethanol extracts were 51.2% and 53.6% at 1,000 ppm. The nitrite scavenging abilities(NSAs) of the water and ethanol extract were 70.2% and 76.2% at 1,000 ppm, and were the highest at pH 1.2. The higher antibacterial and antioxidative activities were seen in the ethanol extract, which also had a higher polyphenol content than did the water extract. However, fibrinolytic activities of the water extract were higher than those of the ethanol extract, at all dilutions in the range (v/v). We conclude that extracts of Omija can be used for health food development or natural preservatives in processed foods.
