This study was done in order to monitor the quality properties of the granule using Bokbunja (Rubus coreanus Miquel) extracts. In order to prepare the granule depending on operational parameters such as content of Bokbunja extract (X1, 0.4∼1.2 g), sugar content (X2, 6∼10 g) and citric acid content (X3, 0.1∼0.3 g), a response surface methodology was applied to monitor the optimum recipes on the organoleptic properties and Hunter's color. The optimum recipe on the organoleptic color showed extract content of 0.96 g, sugar content of 7.05 g and citric acid content of 0.232 g. The optimum recipe on the organoleptic flavor showed extract content of 0.86 g, sugar content of 6.04 g and citric acid content of 0.215 g. The optimum recipe on the organoleptic taste showed extract content of 0.92 g, sugar content of 6.39 g and citric acid content of 0.251 g. The optimum recipe on the overall palatability showed extract content of 0.86 g, sugar content of 6.65 g and citric acid content of 0.272 g. The response surface of the Hunter's color b value was similar to the response of the overall palatability; therefore, the optimum conditions accepted by the consumers were 0.8 g Bokbunja extract content and 0.6 g sugar content in the Hunter's color a value of 6.0.

This study was carried out in order to investigate sterilization effect and to extend storage periods of the Rubus coreanus by treating with tap water (TW), electrolyzed water (EW) and aqueous chlorine dioxide (ClO2). After each treatment plot was soaked with 10, 50, 100, 200 ppm in each sterilizing solution within 30 sec, each treatment was compared during the storage time at room temperature and refrigerator temperature. As results of total plate count according to temperatures and periods, the microbial sterilizing power of each treatment plot was bigger at EW and ClO2 treatment plots than the TW treatment plot; however, it sharply increased on the high concentration ClO2 treatment plot. Futhermore, the cold storage treatment plot had more outstanding microbial sterilizing power than the room temperature treatment plot. As a result of observing the surface of the Rubus coreanus using scanning electron microscope (SEM), no microbe was seen in EW and ClO2 treatment plot. The results of measuring enzyme activity showed a more significant decrease in EW and ClO2 solutions treatment plot than TW treatment plot but gradually increased with time. The contents of total polyphenol revealed similar values on each treatment. The EW and ClO2 treatment of the Rubus coreanus could be considered as good methods for inhibiting microbial growth in fresh vegetables and fruit, thereby contributing to quality maintenance.

The objective of this study is to investigate the optimal condition for macerating enzymatic extraction process that leads to the highest yield and the largest extracted amount of bio-active contents from Rubus coreanus Miq. fruit. The optimal extraction conditions were found as the following: The initial amount of the water added to the fruit was 20 ~ 30% by weight. The mixing ratio used for the macerating enzyme was 4 : 1 : 2 (w : w : w) for cellulase:pectinase:amylogucosidase, and the amount of the macerating enzyme added was 2% by weight. The extraction process was done at a temperature of 45~50℃ for 10 hours. The extraction yields on Rubus coreanus Miq. fruit by macerating enzymatic extraction process was increased by 84.3% compared to that of hot-water extraction process. The amounts of organic acids and vitamin found in the extract were also higher. The amount of polyphenol and anthocyanin contents in the extract were 185% and 257% of those from hot-water extraction, respectively. These results suggest that macerating enzymatic extraction is an effective method to boost extraction yield and to increase the amount of extraction of bio-active contents from Rubus coreanus Miq. fruit.

This study developed a high-utility type of vinegar from Rubus coreanus by optimizing its fermentation conditions. In the alcohol fermentation process, the optimal conditions for the maximization of the alcohol contents were an initial sugar concentration of 15 °Brix, a temperature of 30℃ and 4 days. The optimal conditions for the acetic acid fermentation were 9 days of fermentation at 30℃ and 200 rpm, with 6% alcohol and 2% initial acidity. The sucrose, fructose, and glucose contents were 952.90, 491.01, and 386.62 mg%, respectively. The free organic acids were acetic, malic, succinic, malonic, oxalic, and lactic acids. The total free amino acid content was 104.33 μg/mL, with alanine, glutamic acid, γ-amino-N-butyric acid, and o-phospho-ethanolamine as the major amino acids. The K, Na, and Mg contents were 1,686.10, 172.50, and 69.33 ppm, respectively. The total phenolic and anthocyanin contents were 25.19 and 80.71 mg/100 mL, respectively. The DPPH- and ABTS.+ radical scavenging activities were approximately 65 and 94%, respectively. Moreover, the vinegar’s β-carotene bleaching activity and reducing power showed that it had strong anti-oxidant properties. These results show that Rubus coreanus vinegar has anti-oxidant properties and may be used as functional food.

This study was performed to determined the antioxidant activities, anticancer and immuno-activities of anthocyanin fraction from Rubus coreanus Miquel fruits (Bokbunja). Anthocyanin fraction extracted from Bokbunja revealed the presence of three anthocyanin components, which were tentatively identified as cyanidin 3-O-sambubioside, cyanidin 3-O-xylosylrutinoside and cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside using RP-HPLC/DAD/MS. The anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja always showed reducing power and high scavenging activities against DPPH, hydroxy radical (OH) and superoxide anion radical (O2-) similar to general synthetic antioxidant and polyphenol compounds from plant origin. Anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja showed high inhibition on proliferation of LNCaP and A549 cells and did not inhibit the proliferation of other cancer cells. Immuno-activities of Anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja were investigated, it showed high promotion of human B and T cells growth about 50% and secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α by treatment after 6 days. Over all, the result of the study suggest that anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja displays antioxidant activity comparable to that general synthetic antioxidant, also, anthocyanin fraction from Bokbunja are expected to be good candidate for development into source of anticaner and immuno-activator agent in food industry.

Sunlight, and in particular its UV component, is the major environmental trigger that underlies the major signs of human skin and skin cancer in general. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the UV protection effects of R. coreanus. R. coreanus was extracted by ultra high pressure extraction process at 500 MPa and 30℃ for 5 and 15 minutes. The cytotoxicity of the extracts extracted by ultra high pressure process on human dermal fibroblast cell CCD-986sk, human kidney normal cell HEK293, and human lung normal cell HEL299 was measured as 17.5%, 16.5% and 14.0%, respectively in adding 1.0 mg/ml of the samples, which was much lower than that from conventional water extraction method at 100℃ as 23.2%, 22.5%, 21.2%. The secretion of NO- from macrophage showed 15.9 μM on the R. coreanus extract from this process, which was higher than others. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production from UV-induced human skin cells was also greatly decreased down to 510 pg/ml, compared to the control. From the results, we considered that the extracts from R. coreanus could be potent natural materials for skin anti-inflammation agent, and could be used as a potential anti-aging for the photo-damaged skin.

The purposes of this study were to search for the ways to activate the Gochang Blackberry Festival by examining the visitors to the festival and utilizing the results to make efficient use of the local resources and vitalize the area. The results indicate that the visitors were aware of Gochang blackberry's superiority to that of other regions in quality and commercial value but lacked in the recognition of its related products, which suggests that the Gochang government should make diverse efforts to heighten their recognition of the products. There was a great demand for improving and supplementing the local festivals ad experience programs related to Gochang blackberry. It's thus required to reinforce new experience programs and develop various programs by incorporating blackberry into other local resources. The study has its limitations since its subjects were restricted to the visitors of the Gochang Blackberry Festival and it failed to investigate the preference factors of general potential tourists with the small sample. In future study, they need to use a bigger sample of general public to generalize the research findings.

본고에서는 초고압 추출 공정의 활성 증진 효과를 알아보기 위해 복분자의 면역활성 실험을 실시하였는데 그 결과는 아래와 같다. 인간의 정상 신장세포인 HEK293을 이용한 세포 독성은 추출물은 1.0 mg/ml의 농도에서 최고 19.5%의 세포독성을 나타냈다. 항암활성은 AGS와 A549 암세포를 이용하였는데, 초고압을 실시할 경우 1.0 mg/ml의 농도에서 80%이상의 높은 억제활성을 보였으며, 암세포의 생육활성에 대한 정상 세포의 세포독성의 비로 나타낸 선택적 사멸도는 모든 고농도에서 모두 3 이상으로 나타났다. 모든 처리구 중 15분간 초고압 추출한 것이 가장 높은 활성을 보였으나 5분간 초고압 추출한 것과 큰 차이가 나지 않아 5분간 초고압 추출을 실시하는 것이 효율적인 것으로 보인다. B cell과 T cell을 이용한 면역세포의 생육은 배양 6일째에 15분간 초고압으로 추출한 처리구에서 각각 13.5×104cells/ml, 14.6×104cells/ml로 가장 높은 세포농도를 나타냈다. 면역세포를 이용한 cytokin의 분비량 측정실험에서는 HPE15 추출물이 배양 시간에 따른 cytokine의 분비가 가장 높게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 각 세포의 TNF-α와 IL-6의 분비량은 6일째 최고의 분비량을 나타내었다. 또한 NK cell의 면역활성은 모든 추출물에서 배양 시간에 따라 유의적으로 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 그 중 HPE15 추출물에서 B cell의 경우 15.8×104cells/ml, T cell의 경우 14.8×104cells/ml으로 가장 높은 생육 활성을 나타내었다. 본 실험 결과를 통하여 초고압으로 인해 기존의 추출 방법으로는 추출되지 않았던 유용생리활성 물질들이 초고압으로 조직과 세포막 파괴로 인해 유용성분의 용출량이 증가하고 새로운 물질의 용출로 인해 높은 활성을 나타낸 것으로 판단되었다.
