This study was conducted to investigate the effect of manufacturing temperature on curcuminoid contents and the antioxidant activity of turmeric (Curcuma aromatica Salab.) powder-enhanced nurungji. Two different processes employed turmeric powder (2%): AR (added after rice cooked) and BR (added before rice cooked). AR and BR nurungji samples were prepared by heating cooked rice at 180oC, 200oC, and 220oC for 3 minutes. As a result of the HPLC analysis, the contents of curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin decreased as the heating temperature increased. Moreover, AR samples showed higher curcuminoids than BR samples. The total polyphenol contents, DPPH, and ABTS radical scavenging ability proportionally increased with the increase of the manufacturing temperature. On the other hand, flavonoid contents were decreased with increasing temperature. These results suggest that the preparation of turmeric powder-enhanced nurungji by AR process at 200oC is preferable to preserving curcuminoid contents and antioxidative activity.

본 논문에서는 꽃송이버섯을 4종의 유산균(Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum, L. acidophilus, L. helveticus, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus)을 사용해 발효를 하였다. 발효된 꽃송이버섯 발효물을 항산화 활성(DPPH free radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, Hydroxy radical scavenging activity), SOD activity, 총 폴리페놀 함량(TPC), HPLC 분석, protease 활성을 동해 발효 전 후 생리활성 변화를 확인하였다. 꽃송이버섯 발효물의 항산화 활성은 IC50 28.09-64.46 μg/ mL, SOD 활성은 IC50 15.75-39.42 μg/mL, TPC 는 57.66-100.43 GAE μg/mL 와 85.25-110.68 μg/mL 로 확인되었다. 꽃송이버섯 추출물의 항산화 활성보다 약 8배 이상 증가된 결과로 확인되었다. 또한 꽃송이버섯 발효물의 HPLC 분석 결과는 ascorbic acid, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid의 함량이 높게 확인되었으며, protease 활성 또한 발효물의 활성이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. Lactobacillus 균주들의 작용에 의하여 꽃송이버섯이 발효 되면서 폴리페놀류가 증가하여 생리활성이 꽃송이버섯 추출물에 비해 증가한 것으로 추측된다. Lactobacillus 균 중에서 L. helveticus 균주로 발효된 꽃송이버섯 발효물은 가장 높은 활성을 나타냈으며, 꽃송이버섯을 발효하는데 있어 L. helveticus 균주가 가장 적합한 균주로 확인되었다.

The study examined qualities including chlorophyll, total phenol, total flavonoid content and antioxidative activity in 7-year-old mistletoe that was artificially cultivated with Japanese apricots as the host. The chlorophyll a content of the artificially cultivated Japanese apricot mistletoe leaves was 7.67 mg/g (old leaves) and 3.17 mg/g (new leaves), while the chlorophyll b content was 0.80 ~ 3.53 mg/g and 1.31 ~ 3.56 mg/g. The carotenoid content of the Japanese apricot mistletoe leaves were in the range of 0.29 ~ 2.48 mg/g, and the old leaves (1.85 mg/g) had a carotenoid content 2.1 times higher than the new leaves (0.89 mg/g). The total polyphenol content of the leaves and nodes of the 7-year-old mistletoe was 60.22 mg/100 g TAE for the leaves and 35.50 mg/100 g TAE for the nodes. Among the host trees, polyphenol content was highest (81.44 mg/100 g TAE) in the old mistletoe leaves of the Quercus mongolica, while the total flavonoid content of the Japanese apricot mistletoe was higher in the new leaves (47.89 mg/100 g RUE) than the old leaves (42.19 mg/100 g RUE). The DPPH radical scavenging ability of the Japanese apricot mistletoe scored a low 22.4 ~ 28.5% in the leaves, but was relatively high in the nodes at 52.4 ~ 80.1%. In terms of 1mg/mL concentration, the new leaves (69.1%) and old leaves (82.3%) of the Quercus monglica mistletoe displayed the highest inhibition rate. Chestnut mistletoe displayed an inhibition rate of 21.9 ~ 31.9% for the leaves, and 35.0 ~ 63.8% for the nodes. These results indicate that Japanese apricot mistletoe would be substitute oak tree mistletoe as a source of bio-active property for functional food and medicine.

This study was conducted to compare the antioxidant activities of fermented soy products such as chungkukjang, meju and doenjang with soybeans. Total phenolic, flavonoids contents and antioxidative activities of the methanol extract of soy and fermented products were compared with specific reference to alpha-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrozyl (DPPH) radicals scavenging effects, ferric /reducing power (FRAP), inhibition of conjugated diene formation and tyrosinase activities. Total phenolic and flavonoids contents increased in soybeans after fermentation. Fermented soy products also displayed enhanced antioxidative activities in comparison with the non-fermented soybeans. There were linear relationships between total phenolic and flavonoids contents and ferric reducing/antioxidant power of the samples. Overall, the fermented soy products showed a better antioxidant activity than soybeans. Among the 3 kinds of fermented soy products, chungkukjang, meju and deonjang, doenjang exhibited the highest levels of DPPH-free radicals scavenging activity, ferric /reducing power, inhibition of conjugated diene formation and tyrosinase activities. The fermented soy products with longer fermentation time demonstrated the higher antioxidant activities as well as higher total phenols and flavonoids in the order of doenjang > meju > chunghlkjang> soybeans.

Hylotelephium erythrostictum is commonly used as a medicinal herb. In this study, H. erythrostictum leaf (HEL), branch (HEB), root (HER), and above ground (HEAG) extracts were evaluated for their antioxidant properties. The antioxidant activities were assayed by three methods based on scavenging of DPPH, ABTS and superoxide anion radical. HEAG extract showed the highest DPPH, ABTS, superoxide anion radical scavenging activities. HEAG extract also exhibited the highest phenolic content (230 mg/g gallic acid equivalent). In our research for anti-inflammatory ingredients, the extract of HEAG inhibited the generation of nitric oxide (NO) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells. To test the inhibitory effects of HEAG on pro-inflammatory cytokines, we conducted ELISA assay for the measuring the generation of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL (interleukin)-1β, and IL(interleukin)-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells. In these assays, HEAG ethanol extract showed a dose-dependent decrease in the production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Based on these results, extract of HEAG could be the efficient candidate for anti-inflammatory agents.

For high-quality colored rice production, the cultivation environment is a critical factor. The major environmental factor is temperature, which includes the accumulated and average temperature during vegetative and reproductive stages. Generally, during the cultivation period, the temperature can be controlled by shifting the transplanting date. This study was carried out to determine the optimum transplanting date for high-quality red-colored rice production. Four red-colored rice varieties (Jeokjinju, Jeokjinjuchal, Hongjinju, and Gunganghongmi) were used as test materials. The transplanting dates were May 20 and June 5, 20, and 30 in 2015~2016. The most variable factor controlled by the transplanting date was the grain filling rate. The varieties transplanted on June 30 showed low yields owing to the decrease in the grain filling rate. In contrast, the polyphenol content increased with increasing delay in the transplanting date. Collectively, these two results indicate that the optimum transplanting date was June 20. The average temperature for 30 days after the heading date (30DAH) highly affected the polyphenol content. A lower temperature during the 30DAH induced higher polyphenol contents but also caused low yield. The optimum 30DAH temperature for obtaining a higher yield and polyphenol content was 22~23°C. Using the average 30DAH and accumulated temperatures, the optimum transplanting date was calculated as June 18 to 24 in Miryang region. The optimum transplanting date of Kyeungsangnamdo region was approximately mid-June to early July, and that of Kyeungsangbukdo region was approximately early to mid-June.

This study attempted to investigate the antioxidant properties of four different species of sand dune plants (Calystegia soldanella, Messerschmidia sibirica, Vitex rotundifolia and Rosa rugosa). In order to validate the antioxidant activity of these plants, we first determined the total amount of flavonoid versus phenolic contents (TFC/TPC) and extracted crude flavonoids for measuring antioxidant activities that were determined by DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays with radical scavenging effects. We found that highest amounts of TPC were detected in R. rugose with values of 110.20 ㎎/g (leaves) and 65.71 ㎎/g (stems), while the highest amounts of TFC in V. rotundifolia with values of 38.07 ㎎/g (leaves) and 6.55 ㎎/g (stems). We further examined how closely related the amounts of TFC/TPC in antioxidant activities and found that R. rugose has the highest activities of radical scavenging with values of 63.4 ㎍/㎖ and 51.2 ㎍/㎖ determined by DPPH and ABTS assays compared with the value of 21.2 ㎍/㎖ by FRAP assay. It is of note that there is a statistically significant correlation between the resulting antioxidant activities and the total ratio of TFC and TPC, suggesting that the different amounts of TFC/TPC may directly contribute to the various antioxidant activities.

Background : Invitro antioxidant activity, polyphenol and flavonoid aglycone contents in black and green tea products of balloon flower leaves were investigated to provide valuable information for the further development and utilization of resources of Platycodon grandiflorum. Methods and Results : Flavonoid aglycone contents were investigated using HPLC (SHIMADZU, Japan) with a hypersil ODS column (125 mm × 4 mm, 5-μm particle, HP). DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were measured by method of Lee & Lee (2004) with slight modification. Antioxidant activity, polyphenol and flavonoid contents in green tea were significantly higher than these in black tea. PC analysis indicated that first principal components explained 79.9% of the total variability for five traits investigated. PC2 explained 19.7% of the variation. Conclusion : It can be concluded from these results that these characteristics can reveal the active compound variation of black and green tea products of balloon flower leaves. These results provide scientific evidence for the utilization of balloon flower leaves.

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.
