Saururus chinensis is used as a raw material of an anti-rheumatic, poultice, sedative and stomachic. The tea of dried Saururus chinensis leaves has a function of relaxing pains in back and breast and of treating stomach ailments. The plant has the functions of anti-inflammatory, depurative, diuretic, febrifuge and refrigerant. The extraction of functional material is carried out by methanol and ethanol solvents. Mechanochemical grinding is applied as a pretreatment process before extraction to enhance the extraction efficiency by increasing the surface area of the materials while changing the chemical properties of the materials. Extraction of functional materials from the Saururus chinensis after grinding as a pretreatment using the mechanochemical technology was accomplished in this study to investigate the effect of grinding on the antioxidant activities of the extract. Saururus chinensis was ground by the planetary ball mill and the morphology was analyzed by SEM. Mechanochemical pretreatment increased the yields of functional materials from 5.9 g to 6.4, 7.0, and 8.1 g after grinding of 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours, respectively. Nitrite scavenging ability increased from 53.0-71.0% to 61.0-79.0% for the methanol extraction in the solution of pH 1.2. Also, Electron donating abilities were increased from 7.90-33.51% to 11.97-38.51% for the methanol extraction. The extract concentration for the half inhibition of DPPH radicals was reduced from 278μg/mL in the original sample to 263μg/mL in the sample after grinding for the methanol extraction.

The composition analysis and electron donating activity of 4 kinds of Korean wild sannamuls[Cacalia firma Komar. (CFK), Aster scaber Thunb. (AST), Ligularia fischeri (Ledeb.) Turcz. (LFT), Synurus palmatopinnatifidus (Makino) Kitam., SDN)] were investigated. The Korean edible mountainous vegetable was named a sannamul or chwinamul in Korea, generally. Most of them, the characterization of the each vegetable was reported, individually without comparative research. This study was compared the proximate compositions, mineral, dietary fiber and electron donating abilities on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) of sannamuls. In the chemical analysis of sannamuls, CFK was shown higher value in ash (5.4±0.18%), crude fat (2.5 ±0.14%), carbohydrate (8.1±0.21%), potassium (475.45±0.34mg) and magnesium (64.70±0.48mg) than others. Each mineral of the 3 other samples was a similar value but phosphorus in LFT was contained 62.91±0.43%. The compositions of total dietary fiber of the samples were listed CFK LFT SDN AST and the RC50 Value on DPPH radicals, LFK CFT AST SDN. These results have susggest that CFK and LFT may be useful for a funtional material to food development.

포도씨의 총 카테킨 함량과 추출물의 항산화성을 극대화하기 위한 마이크로웨이브 추출조건의 최적화를 시도하였다. 중심합성계획에 따라 추출조건(microwave power , 에탄올 농도 , 추출시간 )을 설계하고, 종속변수로서 추출물의 수율, 카테킨 함량 및 전자공여능을 회귀 분석함으로써 최적 추출조건을 예측하였다. 모든 회귀식의 는 0.9 이상으로 1% 수준에서 유의성이 인정되었다. 총 카테킨 함량의 최대 추출 값은 434.16 mg%로 예측되었으
