본 연구에서는 추출 방법에 따른 상지에 배양한 상황버섯 균사체 추출물의 항산화 활성을 확인하고자 열수추출, 초음파추출 및 가압추출 방법을 이용하여 항산화 활성 및 tyrosinase 저해활성을 조사하였다. 추출 수율은 가압추출, 초음파추출, 열수추출 순으로 높은 수율을 나타내었으며, 총 페놀함량 및 총 플라보노이드함량은 가압추출에서 100g 당 각각 9.87 g 및 1.90 g으로 높은 함량을 나타내었다. ORAC은 가압추출에서 g당 769.63 μM로 가장 높은 값을 나타내었으며, DPPH 및 ABTS radical 소거활성은 가압추출 1,000 μg/mL에서 각각 35.85% 및 51.42%로 높은 활성을 나타내었다. Superoxide radical 소거활성은 가압추출 100~500 μg/mL에서 29.16~93.89%로 높은 활성을 나타내었다. FRAP 및 환원력은 가압추출 100∼1,000 μg/mL에서 180.60∼607.93 μM 및 0.14∼0.51로 나타나 모든 항산화 활성 분석에서 가압추출이 가장 높은 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. Tyrosinase 저해활성은 가압추출 100∼1,000 μg/mL에서 9.66∼24.05%로 유의적으로 우수한 활성을 나타내었으며 시료 농도에 따라 농도의존적으로 증가하였다. 따라서 상황버섯 균사체 추출에 있어 항산화 활성을 나타내는 유용성분의 효율적인 추출에 가압추출 공정이 적합하다 판단되었다.

Cosmetic activities of the leaves of Curcuma longa L. were compared according to different drying methods, to expand the use of the by-products of Curcuma longa L. The highest extraction yield of 29.4% was obtained from vacuum drying process (VD), whose value was very close to 29.2% from freeze drying process (FD). Relatively lower extraction yield were observed as 24.5% and 25.3% from the raw leaf (RL) as control and hot air drying process (HD). The cytotoxicity was observed lower FD and VD than RL and HD. It shows that cytotoxicity was closely related to cosmetic activities such as tyrosinase and melanin inhibition activities by showing much better cosmetic activities of the extracts from both FD and VD than those from the RL and HD. It was interesting that was differences of the cosmetic activities and cytotoxicity between FD and VD, which implies that VD method should be a more efficient process than FD method in terms of drying time and operation costs: 6 hours vs 24 hours and 3-5 times higher extraction costs in drying. It was observed that VD is more excellent dry method than others. This result could be utilized to effectively dry other soft plant biomass.

In this paper, we proposed a new algorithm of the guidance line extraction for autonomous weeding robot based on infrared vision sensor in wet paddy. It is the critical process for guidance line extraction which finds the central point or area of rice row. In order to improve accuracy of the guidance line, we are trying to use the morphological characteristics of rice that the direction of rice leaves have convergence to central area of rice row. Using Hough transform, we were represented the curved leaves as a combination of segmented straight lines on binary image that has been skeletonized and segmented object. A slope of the guidance line was gotten as calculate the average slope of all segmented lines. An initial point of the guidance line was determined that is the maximum pixel value of the accumulated white columns of a binary image which is rotated the slope of guidance line in the opposite direction. We also have verified an accuracy of the proposed algorithm by experiments in the real wet paddy.

A highly sensitive analytical method based on stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) technique and gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS-MS) has been developed, allowing the simultaneous multi-analyte determination of seven UV filters in water samples. The stir bar coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was added to 40 mL of water sample at pH 3 and stirred at 1,100 rpm for 120 min. Other SBSE parameters (salt effect and presence of organic solvent) were optimised. The method shows good linearity (coefficients > 0.990) and reproducibility (RSD < 12.9%). The extraction efficiencies were above 84% for all the compounds. The limits of detections (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) were 2.1∼8.6 ng/L and 6.8∼27.5 ng/L, respectively. The developed method offers the ability to detect 8 UV filters at ultra-low concentration levels with only 40 mL of sample volume. Matrix effects in tap water, river water, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) final effluent water and seawater were investigated and it was shown that the method is suitable for the analysis of trace level of 7 UV filters except of benzophenone (BP). The method developed in the present study has the advantage of being rapid, simple, high-sensitive and both user and environmentally friendly.

This study was to investigate anti-skin wrinkle effect of aronia extracts by extraction processes. The 70% etha-nol extract by ultrasonification process (UEE) showed highest DPPH scavenging activity of 90.4% in order water extract(WE), 70% ethanol extract (EE) was measured 84.2%, 84.3%. collagen production measured 245ng/㎖ from UEE. WE wasmeasured 53.5ng/㎖ and EE was measured 224.4ng/㎖. MMP-1 production was observed lowest 22.5pg/㎖ at UEE.MMP-1 production of EE was 34.6pg/㎖ and WE was 102.3pg/㎖. These results were found the highest antioxidant andanti-wrinkle effect at UEE among three processes. It was also confirmed that anti-skin wrinkle activities of the aroniaextract was strongly correlated with anti-oxidant activities due to high amounts of antocyanins in the extract.

This study has been conducted to establish the optimal extraction process and HPLC analysis method for thedetermination of marker compounds as a part of the materials standardization for the development of health functionalfood materials from Astragali radix. Five extraction conditions including the shaking extraction at room temperature andthe reflux extraction at 85℃ with 30%, 50% and 95% ethanol were evaluated. Reflux extraction with 50% ethanol showedthe highest extraction yield as 27.27±2.27%, while the extraction under reflux with 95% ethanol showed significantly thelowest yield of 10.55±0.24%. The quantitative determination methods of calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside and calycosin asmarker compounds of Astragali radix extracts were optimized by HPLC analysis using a Thermo Hypersil column(4.6×250㎜, 5㎛) with the gradient elution of water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase at the flow rate of 0.8mL min-¹and a detection wavelength of 230㎚. The HPLC/UV method was applied successfully to the quantification of two markercompounds in Astragali radix extracts after validation of the method with the linearity, accuracy and precision. The con-tents of calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside and calycosin in 50% ethanol extracts by reflux extraction were significantly higher as1,700.3±30.4 and 443.6±8.4㎍ g-1, respectively, comparing with those in other extracts. The results indicate that thereflux extraction with 50% ethanol at 85℃ is optimal for the extraction of Astragali radix, and the established HPLCmethod are very useful for the evaluation of marker compounds in Astragali radix extracts to develop the health functionalmaterial from Astragali radix.

In this study, we investigated the contents of total polyphenol (TP), total flavonoid, and absorbance at 475 nm (OD475) which may produced in solid-fermented leaf of Smilax china L. by Aspergillus oryzae as a new functional components with reddish brown color, contents of water soluble substance (WSS), electron donating ability (EDA), Hunter L*, a*, b* values, sensory overall acceptability (OA) and also, the inhibitory activities (XOI and AOI) against partial purified xanthine oxidase (XO) and aldehyde oxidase (AO) from rabbit liver which were well known to relate the gout, and alcoholic liver disease, respectively in order to optimize water extraction using response surface methodology (RSM). All the R2 values of the second-order polymonials ranged from 0.85 to 0.98, except for the EDA (0.69) and the XOI (0.78).

The effects on the water extraction were highest in the concentration, among the dependent variables, and showed significant differences at the 1% level in the TP, TF and WSS contents and the a*, b* and OD475 values, but the OA showed significant differences at the 5% level. The optimal values of AOI, which was the most important functionality in the Smilax china L. that was predicted via RSM, were 59.48% at the 2.19% concentration, a 90.02°C extraction temperature and a 4.03 minute extraction time (R2: 0.93, p<0.007). The ranges of all the dependent variables of the optimal water extraction were 1.6~1.8% for the concentration, 83~93°C for the temperature and 3.4~4.4 minutes for the extraction time; and the optimal water extraction conditions were a 1.7% concentration, an 88°C extraction temperature and a 3.9-min extraction time.
