본 연구에서는 석류의 항산화 및 항염 효과를 평가하고, 이를 통해 석류 잎 추출물이 항노화 화장품 소재로서 활용될 가능성을 확인하고자, 석류 잎 에탄올 추출물의 에틸아세테이트 분획물(Ethyl acetate fraction of ethanolic extract of Punica granatum leaf : EFP)의 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함 량, 항염 및 항산화 활성을 평가하여, 석류 잎의 유익한 성분과 피부 개선 가능성을 탐구하였다. 실험 결과 EFP의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 871.6±16.3 mg gallic acid/g, 플라보노이드 함량은 36.6±0.3 mg quercetin/g 으로 나타났다. ABTS 라디칼 소거활성을 평가에서는 EFP가 농도 의존적으로 항산화능을 보였고, EC50 수 치는 24.62±0.48㎍/mL로 나타났다. 피부 세포독성 실험에서 EFP는 50㎍/mL 이하 농도에서 높은 세포 생존율을 보였으며, 이는 세포 독성이 거의 없음을 시사한다. NO 생성 억제 실험에서는 EFP가 낮은 농도 에서도 효과적으로 NO 생성을 억제하였으며, 6μg/mL 농도에서 거의 완전히 억제되었다. 이러한 결과는 항산화와 항염 효과를 지닌 천연 화장품 소재로 활용 가능성을 기대할 수 있다.
An agricultural waste, pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel is known to be rich in total phenolics, which are flavonoids having strong antioxidant effects. In this study, pomegranate peel sponge cakes were prepared with varying ratios of freeze dried pomegranate peel powder (0, 1, 3, 5, 7% (w/w)) to examine their effect on quality characteristics, retrogradation and antioxidant activities. The specific gravity and moisture contents of 3, 5, and 7% pomegranate peel powder showed higher values than the control and 1% group. Addition of pomegranate peel powder increased the batter yield, while there was a significant decrease in baking loss. Increasing pomegranate peel powder content significantly decreased the lightness (L) (from 75.03 to 57.04) and pH values, whereas redness (a), yellowness (b) and ΔE were increased. Increasing concentration of the peel powder also increased the hardness and chewiness, while the springiness and cohesiveness decreased. Considering the Avrami equation, Avrami exponene (n) decreased from 1.8055 (control) to 0.9199 (7% pomegranate peel powder). Time constant (1/k) was lowest in control (at 17.64) and highest in the 7% group (39.84). Total polyphenol, flavonoid content, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities significantly increased with increments in the content of pomegranate peel powder. A sensory evaluation by the 7-point scaling method showed that the sponge cake containing 7% pomegranate peel powder had the highest scores in color, flavor, sweetness, chewiness and overall acceptability. Hence, it is considered that sponge cake supplemented with 7% pomegranate peel powder is the most appropriate for quality characteristics, retrogradation and antioxidant activities.
Functional foods are of great significance since our society is accelerating into aging. An aging society has many physiological metabolic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, dementia and geriatric diseases. Fundamental treatments for the elderly are almost impossible and the social burden is heavy. If these diseases can be prevented or alleviated by improving dietary habits using functional foods, the significance would be very large. Pomegranate has been found to have 124 different kinds of phytochemicals. Polyphenols have a wide range of protective effects including various physiological metabolic diseases and cancers. It is necessary to develop functional foods such as preservatives and food extenders which can contribute to food safety, required in the food industry, by using such bioactive substances. Pomegranates have been reported to decrease the impact of many serious illnesses. There is a considerable amount of bioactive substances in the peel of a pomegranate, which has potent anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-apoptotic properties. Unfortunately, the peel is typically discarded after processing. Despite knowledge regarding the bioactive substances in the pomegranate peel and peel extracts, including their functionality and diversity, the knowledge is not well known by consumers in general.
The aim of this study was to review up to date research trends for processing and developing new functional foods by utilizing nutritional functional substances, favourite food materials, and materials for processing food contained in pomegranate peels and pomegranate peel extracts. This study will summarize the data found in pomegranate peel and pomegranate peel extract literature mainly recently published in Science Direct. There are polyphenolic compounds (ellagitannins, punicalagin, proanthocyanidin, flavonoids, polysaccharides, etc.) in the fruit peel, making up about 50% of the pomegranate’s weight. The polyphenol content of a pomegranate fruit peel is 149.91 mg/g, which is about 100 times higher than the juice. Paying attention to the fact that the ellagitannin content (14.22 mg/g) in the fruit peel is also twice as high as that of the fruit juice and seeds, that confirms the possibility of utilizing the peel as a food ingredient capable of developing new, functional bioactive foods.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of white bean based Yanggaeng containing various levels of pomegranate powder (0, 2, 4 and 8%, w/w). The pH values of Yanggaeng containing pomegranate powder were found to decrease when increasing the amount of pomegranate powder. However, moisture and sugar contents were increased (p<0.05). For color values, both L and b values were reduced by increasing the amount of pomegranate powder, while a values were increased significantly (p<0.05). In textural properties, the addition of pomegranate powder resulted in the increase of hardness, chewiness and gumminess, while cohesiveness and springiness decreased. Antioxidant activities, evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging capacity, and total phenolic substances content increased when increasing the amount of pomegranate powder. Results of descriptive analysis showed that by increasing the amount of pomegranate powder, some attributes such as the intensity of the flavor, sourness, hardness and chewiness increased (p<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in sweetness. In a preference test, Yanggaeng containing 4% pomegranate powder appeared to be the most preferred for all attributes tested including overall acceptability. It was concluded that Yanggaeng containing pomegranate can be prepared with good sensory properties and antioxidant activities, and the addition of 4% pomegranate powder was found to be ideal.
본 연구는 우리나라에서 생산된 석류를 40일간 단기저장할 때 저장온도에 따른 품질변화를 측정하여 저장력을 증진시킬 수 있는 방안을 찾기 위하여 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 저장온도를 1oC, 5oC, 10oC, 그리고 상온으로 하여 40일 동안 저장하면서 석류의 품질변화를 측정한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다.
1. 중량감모율은 모든 처리에서 저장기간이 경과할수록 증가하는 경향이었고 저장 40일 후 감모율은 1, 5, 10oC 저장은 8.7~10.7%로 차이가 없었으나 상온저장은 19.2%로 가장 높았다.
2. 당도와 산도는 저장기간에 상관없이 당도와 산도는 저장온도간에 일정한 경향이 나타나지 않았다.
3. 부패과율은 저장온도가 낮을수록 적게 발생하였고, 40일간 저장하였을 때 저장 1oC에서 부패과율이 관찰되지 않았으나 상온에서는 60%로 높게 나타났다.
4. 40일의 저장기간 동안에 석류 과실의 저온장해 증상은 발견되지 않았다.
5. 열과를 저장할 때의 중량감모율은 정상과와 차이가 없었지만 부패율은 정상과 보다 증가하였다.
6. 본 연구의 결과로 보아 80~90%의 상대습도를 유지한 곳에서 석류를 40일간 저장하였을 때 저장온도 0~5oC에서 저장력이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 40일 이상의 저장을 위해서는 저온장해에 대한 검토가 필요하다.
The pomegranate (Punica granatum), especially its fruit, possesses a vast ethnomedical history and represents a phytochemical reservoir of heuristic medical value. The tree and fruit can be divided into several anatomical compartments, and the fruit juice, peel and oil are known to be weakly estrogenic and heuristically of interest for treatment of menopausal symptoms and sequellae. In this study, analysis of estrogen in pomegranate extract was carried out with LC/MS/MS. Three batches of pomegranate extract samples were used to analysis the target compounds (estrogen). The contents of estrogen derivatives in the samples were 38.6 ppb of estriol, 83.5 ppb of estrone,and 10.9 ppb of estradiol. This result suggests that the pomegranate extract can used for treatment of menopause symptoms in the woman.
두부는 식물성 단백질 자원의 식품으로 세계적으로 잘 알려져 있으며 우리나라의 전통식품이다. 최근 두부가 건강식품으로 인식되면서 품질 고급화를 위한 방안으로 화학 첨가물이 아닌 천연응고제로서 석류즙을 사용하여 두부를 제조하여 기계적 및 관능적 특성의 품질특성을 조사하고 저장성을 살펴보았다. 두부의 수율을 대조군이 485g/500ml이었으나 석류즙 첨가 두부군에서는 석류즙 3%(49.3g/500mL)가 가장 높고 석류즙 2%, 4% 순이었다. 두부여액의 탁도는 석류즙 첨가량이 많아질수록 높에 나타났으며 여액의 pH는 석류즙 첨가 두부가 대조군보다 낮게 나타났다. 두부의 색도에서 L(lightness)값은 대조군이 가장 높았으며 탁한 붉은 색의 석류즙 두부는 첨가량이 증가될수록 감소하였다. a(redness)값은 석류즙 첨가량이 증가될수록 커졌으며 b(yellowness)값은 대조군이 석류즙 첨가 두부군보다 높았다. 두부의 texture에서 경도(hardness)는 석류즙 첨가 두부가 더 단단하였고 응집성(cohesiveness)은 석류즙 4%, 5% 첨가군이 대조군보다 높고, 석류즙 1%, 2%, 3% 첨가군보다 낮았다. 탄력성(springness)은 P4〉P5〉P3〉P2〉P1순이며 검성은 석류즙 3%첨가군이 GDL두부와 유사한 특성을 보였으며(p〈.001), 부지짐성(brittleness)은 석류즙을 많이 첨가할수록 높아지는 경향이 있었다. 두부를 0℃에 저장하는 동안 pH는 대조군은 증가하며 석류즙 첨가 두부는 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 산도에서 대조군은 석류즙 첨가 두부와 같이 증가하였으며 두부의 저장성에서 대조군은 12일 지나면서 107 CFU/g을 넘어 부패가 진행되었으나 석류즙첨가 두부는 세균의 증식속도가 감소되어 전 기간동안 대조군에 비해 저장성 연장을 볼 수 있었다. 두부의 미세구조에서 석류즙 2%, 3% 첨가 두부가 대조군과 균일하게 구조를 나타냈으며 석류즙 첨가량이 증가할수록 입자가 크고 불규칙하며 거칠었다. 두부의 관능특성에서는 외관이 기호도는 대조군이 가장 높았으나 석류즙 첨가 두부군에서는 석류즙 2% 첨가 두부가 외관(appearance), 향미(flavor), 맛(taste), 질감(testure)에서 가장 높았다.
The purpose of this study was to determine the content of phenolics and various anthocyanin compounds, and antioxidant and anticancer activities of the extracts from pomergranates, which were produced in two different regions including Goheung, Korea and California, USA. These pomergrantes were divided into juice, pericarp, and seed parts and each part was extracted with 95% methanol. Content of total phenolics [mg chlorogenic acid equivalents/kg DW] was highest in pericarp, followed by juice and seeds from pomergrantes in both regions. The anthocyanins identified in pomegranate fruit were cyanidin-3,5-diglucoside chloride (Cy3,5G), cyanidin-3-O-glucoside chloride (Cy3G), delphini din-3,5-di-O-glucoside chloride (Dp3,5G), delphinidin-3-O-glucoside chloride (Dp3G), pelargonidin- 3,5-di-glucoside chloride (Pg3,5G), and pelargonidin-3-glucoside chloride (Pg3G). Among these, cyanidin-3, 5-diglucoside chloride (Cy3,5G) was the major anthocyanin in California pomegranate fruit juice and Goheung pomegranate fruit pericarp. DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl radical) free radical scavenging activity was dose-dependently increased, and was higher in pericarp part than juice or seed parts from pomergrantes in both regions. By MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay, pericarp extracts from pomergrantes in both regions showed the highest anticancer activity, which was higher on Calu-6 for human pulmonary carcinoma than SNU-601 for human gastric carcinoma. Correlation between polyphenols and anticancer activity on Calu-6 was determined to be in the range of r2=0.8904 to 0.9706.
Total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were investigated in leaves of organic apricot, filbert, mulberry, persimmon, and pomegranate trees during growing season. Total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in leaves of organic apricot and filbert trees were gradually increased from May to June, attained peak in July, thereafter decreased to minimum level in October. In leaves of organic mulberry tree total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were simultaneously increased from May to June and sharply decrease to very low level. The leaves of organic persimmon trees showed very high level of total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity from May to June, thereafter gradually decrease to October. The leaves of organic pomegranate trees showed extraordinarily highest level of total phenolic compounds among five fruit trees investigated in the study during growing stages, as well as maintained higher than 91 percent of antioxidant activity from May to October. Correlation coefficients between total phenolic compound and antioxidant activity of the leaves of five organic trees were the highest in mulberry leaves, and then persimmon, filbert, apricot, and pomegranate, respectively. However, correlation coefficients between total phenolic compound and antioxidant activity of the leaves of organic pomegranate were very low level, and not significant in their relationship.
In recent years, polyphenol-rich herbs, fruits and processed foods, which are made of plant origin, have attracted much attention due to their potential health benefits. Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is an important source of bioactive compounds and has been used to treat diseases because of its medicinal properties. This research was focused on characterizing Korea’s national cultivar and a similar product from California, USA. To evaluate their bioactive compounds and pharmacological activities, their anti-oxidation and cancer inhibition properties, as well as their organic acid and free sugar contents, were investigated. The national cultivar had low total sugar and high organic acid contents, contrary to the imported product. The results showed that the peel of national cultivar had high polyphenol and ellagic acid contents compared to imported product. The free radical scavenging capacity was evaluated via 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and its positive correlation with the total polyphenol contents was found. The anti-cancer activity of methanol extracts revealed growth inhibition against the prostate cancer cell. These results signify that while pomegranate, national cultivar, is more sour than the imported product, its health benefits could be excellent. Also, the polyphenol compound content of the non-edible part (such as the peel and the seed) was higher than that of the juice. Thus, it is suggested that the byproduct of the juice extraction could be potentially used in other fields such as medicine or dietary agents.
마다가스카르산 석류석은 편마암 내 변성광물로 산출되며 색상과 구성성분으로 로돌라이트, 자색 알만딘, 갈색 알만딘 세 그룹으로 분류할 수 있다. 자외선-가시광선 분광분석 결과, 로돌라이트와 자색 알만딘은 400, 428, 504, 521 및 572 nm 부근에서 강한 흡수피크를 보이는데 반해 갈색 알만딘은 433과 502 nm에서 주 흡수피크를 보였다. 적외선 분광분석 결과, 620~660 cm-1 영역에서 로돌라이트는 640-1의 강한 단일 흡수피크가 관찰된 반면 갈색 알만딘은 628 cm-1와 651 cm-1 두 개의 강한 흡수피크가 관찰되었고, 자색 알만딘은 635 cm-1와 653 cm-1에서 두개의 흡수피크가 약하게 관찰되었다. 알만딘에서 발견되지 않은 3552 cm-1 특징적인 흡수피크가 로돌라이트에서는 관찰되었다. 따라서 로돌라이트와 알만딘은 비슷한 색상과 중첩된 굴절률로 인해 감별이 매우 어렵지만 자외선-가시광선 분광분석과 적외선 분광분석을 통해서는 로돌라이트와 알만딘간의 감별이 가능한 것으로 사료된다.
1년 전 처리한 uniconazole이 1년 후의 석류나무(Punica granatum)와 작살나무(Callicarpa japonica Thunberg)의 생육에 어떠한 영향을 구명하고자 본 실험을 수행하였다. 2006년에 6월에 식물생장왜화제로 알려진 triazole계의; uniconazole을 실생 2년생의 석류나무와 작살나무 묘를 사용하여 무처리, 10, 50, 그리고 100 mg․L-1을 엽면살포, 토양관주, 및 엽면살포+토양관주 방법으로 각각 200ml씩 처리하였다. 1년 후인 2007년 10월에 생육억제 효과를 구명하기위해 조사한 결과로 생육억제효과는 농도가 가장 높은 100mg․L-1에서 가장 커 지속적인 왜화효과를 보였으나, 잎 말림 현상 및 지나친 왜소화 등의 관상가치의 저해를 나타내었고, 처리방법 중에서는 토양관주 처리가 가장 지속적인 왜화 효과를 보였다. 하지만 토양관주 50mg․L-1 처리에서는 관상가치의 저해가 일어나지 않았을 뿐만 아니라 왜화효과도 지속적으로 보였다.
최근 분재산업은 국내 수요산업 뿐만 아니라, 해외 수출이 확대되고 있는 새로운 분야로서 앞으로의 수출에 대한 수요가 더욱 늘어 날 전망이다. 본 실험은 석류나무(Punica granatum)와 작살나무(Callicarpa japonica Thunberg)를 이용하여 신초의 길이생장을 억제하여 분재 소재로서의 이용 가치를 재고하기 위해 수행 하였다.
석류나무는 10ppm의 저농도 에서는 무처리구와 거의 비슷한 생육상을 보였으며, 100mg/L의 고농도로 토양관주한 처리구 에서는 극심한 잎말림현상이 발생하였다. 작살나무에서는 100mg/L의 고농도에서 신초의 발생량이 현저히 감소하여 적정 분지수 확보에 여려움이 있었다. 그러나 두 수종 모두 50mg/L의 농도에서 약해가 없고 적정 분지수의 확보가 가능 하였으며, 처리방법에서는 토양관주로 처리하는 것이 가장 효과적이었다.
