The objective of this study was to compare antioxidant activities of green tea, rosemary, lemon and bamboo leaves extracts using three different extraction methods (80% ethanol sonication extraction, distilled water autoclave extraction, distilled water extraction at room temperature). As a result, green tea and rosemary extracts showed relatively high antioxidant activities compared with those of lemon and bamboo leaves. These green tea and rosemary extracts were subsequently added to soymilk and their mixtures were examined for antioxidant activities. Soymilk added with 10% green tea distilled water autoclave extracts and distilled water at room temperature extracts showed relatively high DPPH, 85.09±2.26%, 84.38±1.97%, and ABTS radical scavenging activities, 73.43±2.78%, 81.34±4.78%, respectively. On the other hand, soymilk added with 10% rosemary distilled water autoclave extracts showed remarkably higher DPPH radical scavenging activity while their ABTS radical scavenging ability was similar to that of non-added soymilk. In conclusion, our results suggest that the addition of green tea distilled water autoclave extracts, distilled water at room temperature extracts and rosemary distilled water autoclave extracts to soymilk could contribute to the development of added value soymilk products with increased antioxidant activities.

Limonoid UDP-glucosyltransferase (LUGT)는 리모노이드에 포도당을 붙여줌으로써 궁극적으로 감귤에서 발생하는 limonoid bitterness를 제거해 주는 효소이다. 본 연구에서는 10종의 제주산 감귤로부터 LUGT유전자를 PCR 클로닝하고 그 염기서열을 비교했다. 실험에 사용한 모든 종에서 카르복실기 말단에 식물 당전달 효소에서 발견되는 전형적인 아미노산 서열인 p1ant secondary product glyco
