The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution of functional compounds in perilla leaves of various genetic resources and their antioxidant activities. A comprehensive analysis of functional compounds was conducted for 90 genetic resources, focusing on total polyphenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), individual phenolic content (IPC), and lutein. Their antioxidant activities were then analyzed based on their radical scavenging capacity using ABTS (2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The TPC content exhibited a range of 13.19 to 35.85 mg gallic acid equivalent/g, whereas the TFC content varied from 11.74 to 46.51 mg catechin equivalent/g. Total IPC was detected in a range of 6,310.98 to 40,491.82 μg/g. Lutein was detected at levels between 70.97 and 597.97 μg/g. ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities of perilla leaves ranged from 30.39 to 58.58 mg trolox equivalent (TE)/g and from 7.74 to 46.56 mg TE/g, respectively. Furthermore, correlation analysis demonstrated that rosmarinic acid, a phenolic acid, exhibited a significantly positive correlation with antioxidant activity. These findings suggest that various genetic resource of perilla leaves could effectively mediate antioxidant capacity. Results of this study provide valuable information for use of perilla leaves in Korea as functional food materials.

The effects of antioxidant measured by DPPH radical scavenger activity, the extract of harvestry in July shown highest activity(91.8±0.01%). The all extracts of 4 parts(leaf, f1ower, root, branch) of harvestry in July were shown better radical scavenger activity than BHT(89.2±0.01%). The antibacteria activity of Agrimonia pilosa extracts was determined by using a paper disc method against bacteria, the methanol extracts(70%) showed the most active antibacteria activity against 12 kinds of harmful microorganisms. The methanol extracts(70%) showed the highest antibacterial activity against S. aureus and B. subtilis. In addition, the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) of methanol extracts(70%) against S. aureus, B. subtilis, C. diphtheriae, S. mutans, and S. epidermidis were revealed 0.625~10mg/mL. As a result, antibacteria activity in methanol(70%) extract of Agrimonia pilosa shown higher gram positive bacteria than gram negative bacteria.

감귤류 과피는 플라보노이드의 중요 급원 중의 하나로 아시아에서 민간 의약품으로서 오래전부터 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 진귤(Citrus sunki Hort. ex Tanaka) 과피에서 HPLC-MS/MS를 이용하여 9종의 플라보노이드 성분을 동정하였으며, hydroxypentamethoxyflavone과 dihydroxytetramethoxyflavone은 진귤에서 처음으로 확인되었다. 총 플라보노이드의 항산화 활성은 25~500 mg/L 의 농도범위에서 DPPH·, ABTS·+, NO· 소거능 및 환원력에 의해 측정되었으며, 시료의 첨가량이 많아짐에 따라 항산화 활성은 유의적으로 증가하였다.

Changes in the contents of total phenolic compounds in as Agrimonia pilosa well as their antioxidant capacity according to the havest time and positions were examined. The contents of the total phenolic compounds were determined by extraction with MeOH. Among havest times harvestry in July showed highest contents of the total phenolic compounds and harvestry in May showed lowest contents of the phenolic compounds. Among the 4 positions (root, branch, leaf, flower) of Agrimonia pilosa the root contained highest contents of the phenolic compounds. The antioxidant capacities of Agrimonia pilosa were increased roughly with increasing level of contents of phenolic compounds according to positions.

바위솔 총 페놀 함량은 조사된 빛의 양 및 질소비료의 시비량과 밀접한 관계가 있으며 빛의 양이 증가될수록 질소비료의 시비량이 증가할수록 총 페놀 함량이 증가하는 경향이 관찰되었다. 총 페놀 함량은 여러 가지 조건하에서 인공적으로 재배된 바위솔보다 자연산 바위솔에서 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 자연산의 경우 개화 후의 총 페놀 함량이 개화 전의 총 페놀함량보다 높았다. 바위솔의 항산화능은 바위솔에 조사된 빛의 양 및 질소비료의 시비량과 관계가 있으며 빛의 양 및 질소비료의 시비량이 증가하면 대략적으로 항산화능도 증가하는 것으로 조사되었다. 인산 및 칼륨비료의 시비량과 총페놀 함량과 항산화능 사이에는 별 큰 상관관계가 없는 것으로 관찰되었다.
