The objective of this study was to examine the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of yogurt containing hot water extract from maca. Four different levels (0, 4, 8, 12%) of maca extract were added to milk followed by fermentation with lactic acid bacteria at 37℃ for 12 hrs, and then the physicochemical properties of the samples were investigated. During 7 days of storage at 4±1℃, the acid production (pH and titratable acidity) of the yogurt increased with the addition of maca extract. The Hunter L value (lightness) decreased, while the b value (yellowness) increased as the maca extract level in the yogurt increased. Viable cell counts were not significantly different among the samples. The results of consumer acceptance tests showed that no significant differences in overall acceptability were observed between the yogurts containing 4% and 8% of maca extract and a control yogurt. The yogurt containing maca extract exhibited higher DPPH radical and superoxide anion radical scavenging activities than the control yogurt over the storage period.

This study was divised to observe the inhibitory effect of growth rate of human colon cancer cells by Eucommial leaf extract, in vitro. Three species of human colon cancer cells, HRT-18, HCT-48 and HT-29, were used for the experiment. Each extract of Ecommial leaf was prepared by extraction with water, 95% alcohol, acetone, chloroform and petroleum ether, and then the inhibitory effect of each extract on the growth rate of cells was compared with control group and each other. The expermental results obtained are summarized as follows ; 1. Inhibitory effects on growth rate of human colon cancer cells were strongest in the petroleum ether extract and next in the chloroform extract. 2. Inhibitory effects on the growth rate of the cancer cells by extracts of water, 95% alcohol and acetone were weaker than that of petroleum ether and chloroform. 3. Inhibitory effect of each extract on the cancer cell growth was shown most strong activity in HT-29, and was in order of HRT-18 and HCT-48. In view of the results, it could be suggested that inhibitory effects of non-polar solvent`s extracts against the cancer cell growth were more stronger than that of polar solvents and the effects were indicated defference according to the species of the cells.

실험에서는 구절초를 꽃, 잎 줄기, 뿌리 등의 부위별로 구분하여 메탄올로 추출하고 추출 수율, 총 폴리페놀 및 총 플라보노이드 함량, DPPH radical 소거능, ABTS radical 소거능, superoxide anion radical 소거능, 아질산염소거능, 철 이온에 대한 킬레이트 효과, 환원력 등을 측정하였다. 추출 수율은 꽃이 가장 높았고 총 폴리페놀 함량은 꽃에서 가장 높게 나타났고 뿌리에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. DPPH radi
