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.

본 연구에서는 감귤 과피 가공부산물로부터 기능성 polyphenol 및 flavonoid가 새로운 추출방법인 아임계 추출법을 통해 추출되었고, 열수(80oC), 에탄올, 설탕용액을 이용한 기존 추출법과의 추출효율이 비교 분석되었다. 건조된 감귤 과피로부터 총 polyphenol(27.25±1.33 mg QE/g DCP) 및 flavonoid(7.31±0.41 mg QE/g DCP)에 대한 최대 수율이 아임계 추출법(190°C, 1300 psi, 10 min)을 통해 획득되었으며, 이것은 기존 추출법 가운데 가장 높은 수율을 보인 에탄올 추출법을 통한 총 polyphenol(3.79±0.73 mg QE/g DCP) 및 flavonoid(0.86±0.27 mg QE/g DCP) 수율 대비 7.2배와 8.5배 이상 더 높은 것이었다. 추출방법에 따른 감귤 과피 추출물의 항산화 활성은 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, 이러한 결과는 건조 감귤 과피 1 g 당 아임계 추출법(190oC, 1300 psi, 10 min)에 의한 항산화 성분의 상대 수율(relative yield, %)이 다른 추출방법을 통해 획득된 것보다 대략 9.5배 이상 더 높다는 것을 설명하는 결과로, 아임계 추출법이 기존의 전통적 추출법에 비하여 감귤 과피의 기능성 polyphenol 및 flavonoid를 추출하는데 매우 적합한 방법임을 제시하고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the microbiological characteristics and antioxidant activity of tomato sauce in terms of the variety of herbs that have been widely used in Western cuisine. As storage time increases, the number of total microbes changes, but the bacteria count was in the range of 1.0×101-2.1×102, which did not increase much over 60 days of storage. The reason seems to be that the amount of heat treatment undergone by this type of sauce type, and its acidity make for difficult conditions for microbes to live. Yeast and mold measurements showed that yeast and mold were not detected for up to 30 days of storage in the tomato sauce with various types and amounts of added herbs. After 45 and 60 days, the yeast and mold count was in the range of 1.0×101-8.5×101, and the same in the control. Measurements of phenolic compounds in 60 days of storage showed that tomato sauce with different types and amounts of added herbs had the lowest amounts relative to the control for all storage periods. The more herbs that were added, the higher the phenolic compounds resulted. As storage times increase, the phenolic compounds showed a tendency to decline. The DPPH radical scavenging effects of the tomato sauce herbs added showed a tendency to increase antioxidant activity when more herbs were added. The microbiology results of the storage test of tomato sauce with added herbs showed that the amount of microorganisms in tomato sauce with added herbs did not increase much in 60 days of storage at 4oC. The amount of microorganisms was small, so tomato sauce with added herbs can be used for 2 months with refrigeration.

자색고구마 추출물의 항산화 효과와 산화적 스트레스로 유도된 PC12 신경세포에 대한 보호효과에 대하여 연구하 였다. 자색고구마 추출물의 총 페놀함량은 44.25 mg/g, monomeric anthocyanin 함량은 2,394 mg/L로 나타났 다. 자색고구마 추출물의 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylben-zthiazoline- 6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical 소거활성, ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) 및 환원력은 농도 의존 적으로 항산화 활성이 증가하였다. MTT {3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)- 2,5-diphenyl-tetrazoliumbromide} reduction assay를 이용하여 자색고구마 추출물의 신경세포 보호효과를 측정한 결과, 세포 생존율이 두드러지게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 산화적 스트레스는 신경세포막 손상 정도를 증가시키기 때문에 lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay와 neutral red uptake assay를 이용하여 세포막 손상 보호효과를 조사한 결과 자색고구마 추출물 처리구는 대조구에 비하여 산화적 스트레스로 유도된 세포막 손상 보호효과가 농도 의존적으로 나타났다. 따라서 자색고구마 추출물은 천연 항산화 소재 및 알츠하이머성 치매와 같은 신경퇴행성 질환의 예방 소재로서의 활용 가능성이 기대된다.

The mechanisms underlying the actions of the antioxidants upon reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by NADPH oxidase complex have remained uncertain. In this study, we investigated NADPH oxidase activity and the role of antioxidant enzymes upon the generation of ROS during hypoxic stress. ROS generation was found to increase in the mouse kidney under hypoxic stress in a time-dependent manner. Moreover, we found in MCT cells that hypoxia-induced hydrogen peroxide production was decreased by NAC pretreatment. We further analyzed HIF-1α, PHD2 and VHL expression in the NAC-pretreated MCT cells and assessed the response of antioxidant enzymes at the transcriptional and translational levels. SOD3 and Prdx2 were significantly increased during hypoxia in the mouse kidney. We also confirmed in hypoxic Prdx2-l- and SOD3 transgenic mice that erythropoietin (EPO) is transcriptionally regulated by HIF-1α. In addition, although EPO protein was found to be expressed in a HIF-1α independent manner in three mouse lines, its activity differed markedly between normal and Prdx2-l-/SOD3 transgenic mice during hypoxic stress. In conclusion, our current results indicate that NADPH oxidase-mediated ROS generation is associated with hypoxic stress in the mouse kidney and that SOD3 and Prdx2 cooperate to regulate cellular redox reactions during hypoxia.

참외의 기능성을 규명하기 위해 참외의 부위별 추출물의 라디칼 소거활성 및 항산화 물질 함량을 측정하였다. 참외의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 2mg/mL 농도에서 껍질 부위가 74.7%로 가장 높게 나타났고, ABTS 라디칼 소거능에서도 DPPH 라디칼 소거능과 마찬가지로 껍질 부위에서 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 총 페놀과 총 플라보노이드의 함량은 껍질 부위에서 생체 중 100g 당 각각 134.5mg, 159.1mg으로 가장 높은 함량을 나타냈고, 다음은 태좌, 과육 순이었다. 비타민 C 함량의 경우 총 페놀과 총 플라보노이드의 함량과는 다르게 태좌 부위에서 40.7mg으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 라디칼 소거활성과 항산화 물질 간의 상관관계를 조사해 본 결과 총 페놀과 총 플라보노이드의 함량과 항산화 활성 간에 고도의 상관관계가 나타났고, 비타민 C의 함량과는 다소 낮은 상관관계를 보였다. 이러한 결과들을 종합하면 참외껍질 부위에서 라디칼 소거활성과 항산화 성분함량이 가장 높게 나타났고, 참외의 항산화 활성을 나타내는 주요성분은 페놀성물질일 것으로 생각된다. 향후 라디칼 소거활성과 항산화 성분 함량에서 가장 높게 나타난 껍질 부위의 활성성분 규명 등에 대한 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것이다.

This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of chestnut honey which were harvested at various areas in South Korea. First at all, we measured the total phenols content through a spectrophotometric determination with a modified Folin-Ciocalteu method and total flavonoids content determined with aluminium chloride. Total phenolic compounds was highest in Sunchang of Chestnut honey(2.21mg/ml)and flavonoids contents was also the highest in Sunchang of Chestnut honey(1.02mg/ml) than other samples. For measured the antioxidant activity of chestnut honey, we performed DPPH(2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) test and FRAP(ferric reducing-antioxidant assay)test. DPPH scavenging activity highest in Sunchang of Chestnut honey more than 50% DPPH scavenging activitywhile other samples (Gong-ju, Yechen, Chung-ju, Imsil, Ha-dong) showed more than 25% DPPH scavenging activity. The ferric reducing-antioxidant assay (FRAP) is based on the reduction of ferric 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine [Fe(III)-TPTZ] by spectrophotometric analysis. Sunchang were found to have more than 532μM FRAP activity while other samples (Gong-ju, Yechen, Chung-ju, Imsil, Ha-dong) showed more than 300μM FRAP activity. The results suggested that chestnut honey strong antioxidant activity and it could be utilized as a source of natural antioxidant.

Antioxidative activities of fresh, steamed and black garlics by different processing condition were investigated on the soybean oil. The crushed fresh, steamed and black garlics were added to 100 mL of soybean oil at a level of 0, 5, 10, 20 and 40 g respectively, and then the oil mixture containing garlics (reaction samples) were heattreated for 48 hrs at 180℃ . The chromaticity of reaction samples were increased during heating. After 48 hrs heating, in the sample added 40 g/100 mL chromaticity of each samples were 1.36, 2.99 and 1.99, in the crushed fresh, steamed and black garlics, respectively. Anisidin value showed irregularly increased during heating. Acid values of reaction samples were higher than control during heating, those levels were ranged from 0.82 to 2.04 mg/g after 12 hrs, were gradually increased to 3.15~4.30 mg/g after 48 hrs. Peroxide value of reaction sample containing black garlic(40 g/100 mL) was lower than the samples containing tocopherol or BHT, after 48 hrs heating. TBA value of reaction samples containing fresh, steamed and black garlic of 40 g/100 mL were the lowest in the sample added black garlic, after 48 hrs heating. These results suggested that oxidative stability of black garlic in soybean oil was more potential than the other garlics during heating.
