Yogurt is mostly consumed dairy food and considered as a nutritious food because of its probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB). LABs are known to possess antioxidant, anticarcinogenic and antimicrobial effects. Corni fructus has healthy and pharmacological effects such as the inhibition of apidogenesis and angiopoiesis. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of yogurt supplemented with water and ethanol extracts of corni fructus. Yogurt was manufactured with addition of 0.1%-0.2% (w/v) water or ethanol corni fructus extracts, respectively. For quality characteristics, pH, chromaticity, viscosity and syneresis were determined during refrigeration storage (1, 7, 14, and 21 day). For antioxidant activities, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activities were examined during storage. The pH showed no significant difference between groups but showed decreasing pattern for all groups during storage period. In chromaticity, redness increased, and lightness decreased as the amount of corni furctus extracts increases. Yogurt with corni furctus ethanol extracts showed more color changes than yogurt with corni furctus water extracts. Viscosity increased in corni furctus extract added groups, compared to control. Syneresis was approximately 2-fold higher in corni fructus extract added groups, while there were no significant changes between control and extract added groups. Both DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were significantly higher than control group in corni fructus extract added groups, compared to control. In conclusion, addition of corni fructus extracts in yogurt improved quality characteristics during storage and antioxidant properties.

본 연구에서는 대추 열수추출물에 대한 유산균 발효를 통해 기능성 소재로서의 가능성을 알아보고자 하여 열수추출물에 L. plantarum 을 접종하여 유산균 발효물을 제조하였으며, 열수추출물과 유산균 발효물의 영양성분 및 항산화능을 비교 ․ 분석하였다. 대추 열수추 출물에 접종한 유산균은 초기 12시간 만에 증가하였으며, 이후 72 시간까지 큰 증감없이 그 수를 유지하여 대추 열수추출물은 유산균 의 생육에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 열수추출물과 유산균 발효물 의 당도, pH 및 총산도를 측정한 결과, 당도는 유산균 발효 여부와 관계없이 열수추출횟수가 증가할수록 높아졌으며, pH는 유산균 발 효 이후 현저히 감소하였고, 총산도는 2차 열수추출물의 발효물에 서만 유의적으로 증가하였다. 2차 열수추출물의 유산균 발효 여부 에 따른 일반영양성분 분석 결과, 모든 성분에서 유의적 차이를 보 이지 않았으며, DPPH 및 ABTS free radical 소거활성능은 유산 균 발효 여부에 관계없이 열수 추출횟수에 비례하여 증가하여 2차 열수추출물과 그의 발효물에서 가장 높은 결과를 나타내었다. 총폴 리페놀 함량 또한 유산균 발효여부에 관계없이 1차 열수추출물에 서 가장 높은 값이 관찰되었다. 본 연구를 통해 대추 열수추출물은 유산균 생육에 전혀 영향을 미치지 않아 유산균 발효물 제조 가능 성을 확인했으며, 또한 항산화능과 총폴리페놀 함량은 열수추출횟 수에 의해 영향을 받는다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 하지만, 열수추출 물과 유산균 발효물 사이에 일반영양성분 및 항산화능에 큰 차이 는 없었으며, 이는 L. plantarum 단일 균주로만 연구를 진행했기 때문으로 여겨진다. 따라서 추후에 다양한 유산균주를 사용하여 대추 열수추출물의 발효를 시도해 항산화능을 비롯한 다양한 기능 성을 증가시킬 수 있는 유산균주를 탐색할 필요가 있을 것으로 사 료된다.

Aster koraiensis Nakai (A. koraiensis) which has been used as a food and medicinal plant in the past, is valuable as functional food material. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant properties and major phenolics of A. koraiensis extracts with different ethanol concentrations (0, 50, 70, and 100% aqueous ethanol solution). When ethanol concentration in the extraction solvent was increased, extraction yield decreased; 34.2, 23.2, 21.0, and 5.5% in 0, 50, 70, and 100% ethanolic extracts, respectively. Total phenolics content and antioxidant activities of extracts were increased in an ethanol concentration-dependant manner. The major phenolics in the extracts were chlorogenic acid (21.264~58.666 mg/g), isochlorogenic acid A (10.432~145.353 mg/g), and isochlorogenic acid C(0.239~13.148 mg/g), and these phenolic contents were higher in 70 and 100% ethanolic extracts than other extracts. Significant correlations were observed between ethanol concentration of extraction solvent, antioxidant properties, and major phenolics. These results indicated that the optimal ethanol concentration for extraction was 70%.

In this study, soybean pods of 45 soybean landraces (or varieties) were classified as yellow (19 samples), black (23 samples), or black in green (3 samples) based on soybean seed coat color. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were measured, and antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, and estrogen-like activities were assessed. Total polyphenol and flavonoid content ranges were 24.13-108.03 mg GAE/g and 3.31-72.02 mg CE/g, respectively, and were highest in the black group followed by the yellow group and were least in the black in green group, while ABTS and DPPH activities followed the order black in green > black > yellow. Estrogen-like and estrogen receptor-α activity ranges were 29.06-35.58 pg/mL and 7.05-10.13 pg/mL and were followed the order yellow > black > black in green and black in green > yellow > black, respectively. Nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory and UCP-1 activities followed the same order as estrogen receptor-α activities. Our findings suggest that soybean pods are excellent sources of antioxidants and high-quality functional materials.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of Yanggaeng prepared with various amounts of watermelon radish flesh (WRF) powder, in ratios of 0 (control), 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10% of the cooked white bean paste. The proximate composition, pH, sugar content, Hunter’s color values, texture analysis, and antioxidative activities of Yanggaeng were examined. Increasing the amount of WRF in the Yanggaeng tended to increase the crude ash, carbohydrate, sugar, total polyphenol, total flavonoids, and anthocyanin contents, a value, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, with decreasing the moisture and crude protein contents, L and b values, and pH. Texture measurement scores in terms of springiness, chewiness for Yanggaeng showed that 2.5% or 5.0% group was higher than those of the control group. Hardness was higher in the sample groups than in the control group. In conclusion, the results show that Yanggaeng with up to 7.0% added WRF powder can be developed as products, and there is a possibility of developing health functional snack products using WRF powder.

This study was conducted to find out the optimal solvent extraction method [Distilled water (DW), 70% ethanol, 99% ethanol] of mushrooms, including Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) Que, Pleurotus eryngii and Flammulina velutipes and improve their usability as natural antioxidants. To analyze antioxidant activities in each mushroom, total polyphenol, flavonoid contents, 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2?-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) cation radical (ABTS+) and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) were measured. All mushrooms showed the highest total polyphenol contents in DW mushroom extract (p<0.001). Total flavonoid contents were the highest in P. eryngii and F. velutipes DW and 70% ethanol mushroom extracts (p<0.05). All mushrooms showed the highest activities using DPPH and FRAP assays in the DW extraction method (p<0.001). P. ostreatus (Jacq.) Que and P. eryngii showed the highest ABTS+ radical scavenging activity in the DW extraction method, and F. velutipes showed the highest activity in the 70% ethanol extraction method (p<0.001). As a result of comparing IC50 values of DPPH and ABTS+ radicals and FRAP EC50 values, the DW P. ostreatus (Jacq.) Que extract showed high antioxidant activities (p<0.001). Pearson's correlation between total polyphenol contents and antioxidant activities showed a positive correlation in all mushrooms (p<0.01). Therefore, extraction of the mushrooms with DW can enhance the extraction of effective bioactive substances and antioxidant activity.

In this study, we investigated the effects of adding oat and lactic acid bacteria on the quality and functionality of yogurt. Yogurt was fermented with various lactic acid bacteria,; Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA), Lactobacillus delbrueckii sub. bulgaricus (LB), and Streptococcus thermophilussei (ST) and quality properties, β-glucan content, antioxidant activity were estimated. The quality of control and oat added yogurt (OY) showed significant differences depending on the type of strain and combination. The addition of oats significantly accelerated the lactic acid bacteria production, decreased the pH, and increased the titratable acidity and count of the viable cells compared to the control. Acid production was highest in ST, with the complex strains containing ST and LALBST showing high quality characteristics. The viscosity of oat yogurt was higher than that of the control group, and LALBST was also significantly higher than that of the control group. The β-glucan content of OY was 0.14-0.2%, and the organic acid content and antioxidant activity were also significantly increased by the addition of oats. As a result, it is thought that the addition of oats and a combination of lactic acid bacteria can be used for improving the quality and functionality of yogurt.

In this study, the antioxidant activity of methanol extracts of wheat sprouts grown in wild fields and cultivated fields and harvested at various times were analyzed to compare the quality characteristics of the wheat sprouts as a function of their cultivation and harvest time, as well as for the development of functional materials. The total polyphenolic and flavonoid content, as well as antioxidant activity of the wheat extracts, were subsequently analyzed. The ABTS radical scavenging activity of the wheat extract increased from 16.97 mg TEAC/g sample on cultivation day three in cultivated field wheat sprouts to 25.99 mg TEAC/g sample after seven days of wild field cultivation. The total polyphenol content increased from 17.08 mg GA eq/100 g in cultivated field wheat sprouts grown for three days to 28.70 mg GA eq/100 g after seven days of wild field cultivation. In addition, the flavonoid content increased from 7.02 mg catechin eq/100 g (7 days) to 8.47 mg/g after 12 days of wild field cultivation. Notably, the activity subsequently decreased. These results suggest that the wheat sprouts with higher biological activity were those produced from the wild field after 20 days.

Curcumin is not soluble in water. Therefore, curcumin emulsion that can dissolve well in water were prepared using multi-emulsification technology, and the antioxidant activities and physical properties of emulsion were measured. Although curcumin was not dissolved in water, it was confirmed to be well dispersed in water when prepared in an aqueous dispersion curcumin emulsion. After dissolving curcumin using water and ethanol as solvents, respectively, the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging abilities of the filtrate and the curcumin emulsion were measured. Because it was not dissolved in water, activities were not shown. However, when curcumin was dissolved in ethanol, the activities increased as the concentration of curcumin increased. On the other hand, when the curcumin emulsion was dissolved in water, it was found to have abilities. The curcumin emulsion was nano-homogenized and the size and distribution of the emulsified spheres were measured. It was confirmed to be nano-sized as it appeared as 9.083 nm/100%. In the results of the DPPH radical and ABTS radical scavenging abilities of curcumin nano-emulsion, it was confirmed that there was no change in the antioxidant abilities. In conclusion, water-dispersible curcumin prepared using multi-emulsification technology, and it was confirmed to exhibit antioxidant activity and emulsion stability.

본 연구에서는 기능성 식의약품 소재로써 갈색 느티만 가닥버섯(Hypsizygus marmoreus)의 이용 가능성을 조사하기 위해 갈색 느티만가닥버섯의 부위별, 추출 용매별 항산화 활성을 조사하였다. 열수 추출물 갓과 대의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 17.15±0.19 mg GAE/g과 7.37±0.16 mg GAE/g이었으며 에탄올 추출물 갓과 대의 총 폴리페놀 함 량은 각각 10.23±0.14 mg GAE/g과 3.76.±0.19 mg GAE/g 으로 에탄올 추출물에 비해 열수 추출물의 폴리페놀 함량이 높게 나타났고 대에 비해 갓의 폴리페놀 함량이 높게 나타났다. 또한 갈색 느티만가닥버섯 추출물의 DPPH, ABTS, ORAC 지수, 환원력도 10 mg/ml의 농도에서 에탄올 추출물에 비해 열수 추출물에서 높게 나타났고 대에 비해 갓에서 높게 나타났으며 흰색 느티만가닥버섯에 비해 갈색 느티만가닥버섯의 총 폴리페놀 함량, DPPH, ORAC 지수, 환원력이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 추출물의 세포독성 은 WST-1 assay (4-[3-(4-iodophenyl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2H- 5–tetrazolio]-1,3-benzene disulphonate)를 이용하여 열수 추출물의 처리 농도에 따른 대식세포주 RAW 264.7의 세포 생존율로 확인하였으며 갈색 느티만가닥버섯 열수 추출물 처리구에서 대식세포주 RAW 264.7의 세포 생존율이 증가하였기 때문에 세포독성은 없는 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 느티만가닥버섯은 품종에 따라 항산화 활성에 차이가 있고, 갈색 느티만가닥버섯은 다른 버섯보다 항산화 활성이 높기 때문에 기능성 식의약품 소재로서 이용 가능성이 있다고 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 인공광 시설에서 광원을 달리하여 생산된 방풍나물의 항산화 및 항염 효과를 평가하였고 노지 재배 된 방풍나물과 그 생리활성을 비교하였다. DPPH 및 ABTS 라디칼 소거 활성 및 총 폴리페놀은 노지에서 재배 된 방풍나물이 인공광 시설에서 재배된 방풍나물보다 높은 항산화 활성을 나타내었고, 인공광에서 재배된 방풍나물 중 에서는 BW 광원으로 재배된 방풍나물이 농도 의존적으로 높은 항산화 효과를 보였다. XO 저해 활성은 BW 재배된 방풍나물이 노지 재배 방풍나물보다 우수한 효과를 나타내었다. SOD와 CAT 결과는 BW 및 노지 재배된 방풍나물 모두 무처리 대조군에 비해 농도 의존적인 활성을 보였다. BW 및 노지 재배된 방풍나물은 방풍나물을 처리하지 않은 무처리 대조군에 비해 TNF-α 와 IL-6 사이토카인을 농도 의존적으로 유의하게 감소시켰다. 따라서 인공광 재배 된 방풍나물은 대체적으로 노지보다 낮을 수 있지만 항산화 및 항염 효과를 보였고. 앞으로 인공광에서 재배된 작물의 다양한 기능성 소재로서의 연구에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
