We determined physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activities of cookies prepared by replacing wheat flour with 0, 3, 6, and 9% freeze-dried burdock powder instead of wheat flour. The leavening and loss rates of the cookies decreased in proportion to the amount of burdock powder added to the dough. The moisture content of the cookies increased in proportion to the amount of burdock powder added and the crude protein and hardness were higher in the burdock-added group compared to the control. The lightness and yellowness of the cookies decreased, and the redness increased in proportion to the amount of burdock powder added. The total flavonoid and polyphenol compounds in the cookies increased in proportion to the amounts of burdock powder added. The antioxidant activities also tended to increase in proportion to the amount of burdock powder added. Based on the above results, adding burdock powder to cookies can increase antioxidant activity by increasing the content of antioxidant components, such as polyphenols and flavonoids. In addition, it is believed that adding burdock powder at levels of 3 to 9% of the weight of flour would result in cookies with spreadability, swelling power, and hardness similar to those of regular cookies.

As the consumption of corn increases, the production of by-products is also increasing. In this study, functional substances and antioxidant activities of corn by-products were investigated to determine their applicability as functional materials. Total polyphenol, flavonoid contents, and ABTS antioxidant activity were the highest in leaves. The total phenolic acid content was the highest in cobs; p-coumaric and ferulic acid were the main components. Phytosterol content in leaves and stems was high at 64 and 50 days after sowing, 261.4 and 274.7 mg/100 g, respectively. β-sitosterol of the leaves and stems was the highest, 149.2 and 138.7 mg/100 g. The total phytosterol content of grains and by-products harvested 106 days after sowing was in the order of: corn silk, husk, grain, leaf, stem, and cob. Among the phytosterols, β-sitosterol was the highest, followed by stigmasterol and campesterol, and the composition was different depending on part. The total phytosterol content was the highest in husk and corn silk, but the stems and leaves, which account for 50% of the total corn biomass, also contained high phytosterol content. Therefore, corn leaves and stems are expected to be used as functional raw materials for the development of functional materials in the future.

This study aimed to evaluate the changes in the content of functional components and antioxidant activity of rice and barley according to the milling process used. A considerable amount of γ-oryzanol was observed in unmilled rice and barley. However, γ-oryzanol was not detected in the rice and barley after the milling process. The highest content of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was observed in the unmilled Keunalbori-1-ho barley. The contents of biotin in all samples also decreased in the milled grains compared to the unmilled grains. The highest content of total polyphenols and flavonoids was observed in the Heuksujeongchal barley, and the highest radical scavenging activity was also found in this grain. The milling process led to a decrease in the content of functional components, including γ-oryzanol, GABA, biotin, polyphenols, and flavonoids in both rice and barley. These results may be useful in the development of processed foods using cereal grains.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in the content of functional components and the antioxidant activity of cooked rice and porridge composed of selected grains. The results of the study showed that brown rice and oat contained considerable amounts of γ-oryzanol (78.099~238.566 mg/100 g). However, cooked rice showed a decreased content of the same. The highest content of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was observed in brown rice from Samgwang. The contents of biotin in all samples also decreased in cooked rice compared to raw cereal grains. The highest content of total polyphenols and flavonoids were observed in Heukjinmi rice, and the highest radical scavenging activity was also found in this variety. The cooking process led to a decrease in the content of functional components including γ-oryzanol, GABA, biotin, polyphenols, and flavonoids versus the corresponding raw cereal grains. These results may be useful in the development and application of home meal replacements using cereal grains.

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.

장어의 과산화 억제를 위해 월계수잎, 총백, 헛개열매, 녹차를 시판 소주(30°)를 용매로 하여 추출한 것을 시료로 사용하였다. 장어 250 g에 5 g의 주정 추출물을 장어 전체에 고루 바른 후 35℃ 15시간 열풍건조한 후 실험에 사용하였다. 주정 추출물의 항산화 활성은 DPPH 소거 활성 실험, 반건조 장어의 산가, 과산화물가, 리놀레산 및 장어유 과산화 지연반응을 통해 확인하였다. DPPH 소거 활성이 가장 높았던 것은 녹차 추출물이었으며, 다음으로 활성이 높았던 것은 월계수잎, 헛개열매 추출물이었다(p<0.05). 21일 동안 냉장보관한 장어의 산가 측정에서 헛개열매 추출물로 처리한 경우, 산가가 가장 낮았으며, 다음으로 녹차 추출물로 처리한 경우의 산가가 낮았다. 유리지방산 생성 억제 효과와 유사하게 헛개열매, 녹차 추출물이 장어의 열풍건조 동안 초기 과산화물 생성을 억제하고, 냉장보관 21일 동안 반건조 장어의 과산화물의 생성을 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 4종의 주정 추출물들은 반응 20일 동안 리놀레산의 과산화를 억제하는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반응 20일 동안 장어유의 과산화를 지연시킨 효과가 높았던 것은 헛개열매와 녹차 추출물이었으며, 다른 추출물에 비해 상대적으로 장기간 안정적으로 장어유의 과산화를 억제하는 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 장어의 건조 전 전처리에 헛개열매와 녹차 주정(30° 소주)추출물을 적용하는 것은 장어의 건조 및 반건조 장어의 냉장보관 중의 과산화를 지연시키는데 효과가 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구는 수경재배 방식으로 재배 된 배초향(Agastache rugosa)의 생장과 항산화 물질 축적에 대하여 단색 또는 복합 LEDs의 광질이 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 수행하였다. 본엽 4매인 배초향 묘를 수경재배 시스템에 정식하였으며, 백색(W10), 적색(R10), 혼합LEDs (W2B1G1, R3B1, R2B1G1, W2B1G1: 각 LED의 PPFD 비율) 및 형광등(FL: 대조구)을 이용하여 180±5μmol·m-2·s-1의 광합성광량자속밀도(PPFD)의 조건과, 16/8h 광주기, 22±1℃/18±1℃ (주/야간) 온도, 60±10%의 상대 습도로 관리된 재배실에서 4주동안 배초향을 재배하였다. W2B1G1 광조건에서 자란 배초향의 생체중과 건물중은 모든 처리중에서 가장 큰 값을 나타내었다. R10 조건에서 재배 된 배초향은 초장이 가장 길었지만 SPAD는 모든 처리와 비교해서 가장 낮은 값을 보였다. 배초향의 건물중당 rosmarinic acid 농도는 W2B1G1 처리구에서 유의하게 높았다. 건물당 tilianin 함량은 다른 처리구들과 비교할 때, R3B1에서 유의적으로 가장 높았다. 그러나 전체 식물체에 함유 된 rosmarinic acid와 tilianin 함량은 W2B1G1 조건에서 가장 높았다. 식물공장에서 배초향을 재배하기 위해, W2B1G1으로 구성된 혼합 LED 광 조건이 배초향의 생장과 항산화 물질축적에 가장 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 식물 전체에 함유 된 항산화 물질의 총량이 상업적 용도로 중요하다는 것과, 광질의 최적 선택을 통해서 기능성물질의 증대가 가능하다는 것을 보여주었다.

This study was to investigate the optimal condition of mixture ratio for development of functional food ingredient from Sarcodon aspratus and rice bran. First, oBrix was measured along with extraction time. Five kinds of mixtures of Sarcodon aspratus and rice bran (10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, 0:10) were extracted in 95oC water over a one-hour period and the extraction yield was evaluated. We further evaluated β-glucan content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), total phenolic content and total flavonoids content. As a result, both Sarcodon aspratus and rice bran showed a constant oBrix after 45 minutes of extraction time. The content of β-glucan was highest in the Sarcodon aspratus and rice bran mixture with a ratio of 3:7. As the ratio of rice bran increased in all mixtures, the antioxidant capacity also increased. In conclusion, to create a functional food ingredient the optimal mixing ratio of Sarcodon aspratus to rice bran is 3:7.

Ramie (Boehmeria nivea M.) has been used for fiber materials in Korea traditionally, but in recent years, the concern with ramie leaves for the food industry such as tteok (a kind of Korean rice cake) industry has been increasing, so a study for eatable ramie is required for the expansion of ramie consumption. Moreover, the ramie varieties for the food industry are not established, so the natural species are cultivated in general; therefore, it is very important to select the ramie varieties for the food industry such as rice cakes, tea, beverage and so on. This study was undertaken to compare the physiochemical properties among 9 ramie lines selected in the Yeonggwang-gun Agricultural Technology Center to select the eatable ramie varieties for the food industry. The contents of the protein among 9 ramie lines was 6.21~7.56% and had the highest content in the YG55. The folic acid (folate) and vitamin C content had varying differences among the 9 lines; the content of folate showed 771.52~1,978.84 μg%, that of vitamin C showed 149.42~275.34 mg%. The ACE inhibitory activity appeared to be the highest in YG88 (21.5%) among the 9 ramie varieties tested.

치자 씨의 에틸 아세테이트, 증류수 및 70% 메탄올(v/v)의 3가지 용매를 사용한 추출물의 용매 별 플라보노이드 함량 및 항산화 활성, 금속 킬레이트 능력 측정을 통하여 치자의 기능성 식품 재료로서의 가치를 검토하기 위하여 본 실험을 수행하였다. 치자 씨의 탄닌 함량은 1.517±0.003 mg CE/g (mg of catechin equivalents) 건조 중량으로 나타났으며, 치자 씨 용매 별 추출 수율은 증류수 (36.61%), 70% 메탄올(30.10%), 에틸아세테이트(20.40%) 순으로 나타났다. 추출 용매 별 항산화 활성은 농도(0.2, 0.4, 0.6 mg/mL)가 증가할수록 유의적으로 증가하였으며(p<0.05), 양성대조구로 사용된 ascorbic acid, BHA, EDTA 보다 낮은 활성이 관찰되었다. 플라보노이드 함량(mg QE/g, mg of quercetin equivalents)은 70% 메탄올(0.799), 증류수(0.565), 에틸아세테이트(0.117) 순으로 관찰되었으며, 항산화 활성은 대부분의 분석에서 용매 별 플라보노이드 함량 순과 비슷한 양상으로 나타났지만 ABTS 라디칼 소거능과 SOD 유사활성은 증류수 추출물이 70% 메탄올 추출물의 항산화 활성 보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 치자 씨의 각 용매별 수율과 항산화 활성을 비교하였을 때, 증류수와 70% 메탄올 용매를 사용하여 추출 이용하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각된다. 본 실험 결과 치자 씨는 플라보노이드 화합물을 다량 함유하고 있으며 그로 인한 높은 수준의 항산화 활성과 생리활성을 가지고 있어 기능성 식품 및 천연 항산화제로서의 가치가 매우 기대된다.

In this study, the morphology and antioxidant content of shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) cultivated in smart farms and general farms have been compared. With regard to morphology, mushrooms produced in the smart farm system exhibited a slightly thicker and wider pileus and thicker and longer stipe than those in the general farm system. The stipe in the mushrooms from moderate-sized farms was harder, because the low relative humidity of cultivation rooms could induce mushroom tissue to harden. With regard to the antioxidant content, the free radical scavenging activity was evaluated by the DPPH assay. Among the various treatments, hot water extracts of freeze-dried shiitake produced from smart farms exhibited the highest DPPH value of 37.8%. In contrast, the lowest activity of 12.2% was observed in a 70% fermented alcohol extract of shiitake that was dried by hot air. The polyphenol content was higher in hot water extracts than in 70% fermented alcohol extracts. Additionally, the polyphenol content was higher in the freeze-dried samples than in hot-air dried ones. The smart-farm system was preferred over the general cropping system for cultivating shiitake mushrooms, because the antioxidant activity and polyphenol content of mushrooms from the smart-farm system was better; the functionality of this system was more improved than that of the general cropping system, and it enables mushrooms to be cultivated more efficiently. The antioxidant content is represented as the mean±SD of three replicates. Different letters indicate significant differences among samples, i.e., p<0.05.

Honey production from approximately 1.7 million colonies owned by around 21 thousand beekeepers was almost 36 thousand M/T in Korea. Pollen has used as a food and medicine from before the Joseon Dynasty period in Korea. Pollen grains such as acorn (Quercus acutissima), actinidia (Actinidia arguta) and green tea (Camellia sinensis) are popular in the markets in Korea. But stiff pollen wall hindered dissolution of polysaccharides and lowered extraction efficiency. In the present study, we measured the antioxidant activity and the total polyphenol content from the pulverized and lyophilized green tea pollen grains inoculated with 6 kinds of fungi to confirm the husk removal effect. The total polyphenol content of green tea pollens was highest in lyophilized pollen medium inoculated with Armillaria mellea, and was lowest in pollen inoculated with Lentinula edodes. Total polyphenol content of the lyophilized pollen was higher than that of the refined pollen and the pulverized pollen in green tea pollen germinated with A. mellea. The total polyphenol content of the lyophilized green tea pollens germinated with A. mellea was 1.4-fold higher than that extracted with water. Measurement of antioxidant activity using the DPPH free radical scavenging method showed that the lyophilized green tea pollen grains germinated with A. mellea had the highest and that germinated with L. edodes was lowest in antioxidant activities. The lyophilized green tea pollen grains germinated with A. mellea was 2 to 4 times higher than that extracted with water in the antioxidant activity of DPPH free radical scavenging. Many germinated cells were formed around pore of green tea pollen inoculated with L. edodes, while those were formed at the end of hyphae derived from green tea pollen grains inoculated with A. mellea.

Naringenin and its glycoside naringin (naringenin-7-O-glycoside) belong to this series of flavonoids and were well-known strong antioxidant activity. This study was conducted to flavonoid constituents and antioxidant activity of Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus cornucopiae. In order to determine active ingredient contents of Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus cornucopiae, we were carried out total polyphenolic content (TPC) and flavonoid content (TFC) analyses. As a result, TPC (31.05 ± 0.03 g GAE/kg extract) and TFC (13.25 ± 1.24 g NE/kg extract) of Pleurotus cornucopiae were found significantly higher as compared to Pleurotus ostreatus. The IC50 values based on the DPPH (56.50 ± 0.73 μg/ml) and ABTS (86.53 ± 3.86 μg/ml) for Pleurotus cornucopiae were generally stronger showing potential antioxidant properties compared to Pleurotus ostreatus. In addition, naringin and naringenin content were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. A great amount of naringin and naringenin was found in Pleurotus cornucopiae. These results indicate that the Pleurotus cornucopiae can be used as an antioxidant therapeutic agent.

The objectives of this study were to select the seeds of Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae genotypes in terms of superior with bioactive compounds content and to inform sophisticated data for developing the high value-added products. We evaluated to aspects of the antioxidant activity, polyphenol content, and flavonoid contents in seeds from two vegetable family. We used in the Cucurbitaceae(watermelon, squash, bitter gourd, and sponge gourd) and Solanaceae(hot pepper, sweet pepper, and egg plant) the total 408 genotypes. In Cucurbitaceae, polyphenol content of watermelon and squash genotypes were ranged 19.9-343.8 and 6.1-81.2 mg·100 g-1 DW, respectively. The polyphenol content of watermelon genotypes was 12% among all genotypes over 160 mg·100 g-1 DW. The mean of flavonoid content in watermelon and squash genotypes represented 80 and 41.3 mg·100 g-1 DW, respectively. In Solanaceae, flavonoid content of hot pepper genotypes was ranged 64.4-472.5 mg·100 g-1 DW, with an average of 165.0 mg·100 g-1. The 23 hot pepper genotypes were classified over 90% antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of sweet pepper was ranged 35.9-90.3%, and 23% of all genotypes represented 82% antioxidant activity. The polyphenol and flavonoid content of egg plant was ranged 38.1-642.0 mg·100 g-1 DW and 14.2-1217.0 mg·100 g-1 DW, respectively. In addition, we selected that 8 egg plant with the superior genotypes for antioxidant activity, polyphenol, and flavonoid content. Results revealed that there was significant variation of antioxidant activity and bioactive compounds contents in both vegetable famaily. In addition, we suggested that selected genotypes seeds with high contain bioactive compounds will be more efficiency to develop natural value-added products.

This study was conducted to investigate the total polyphenol, total flavonoid and the antioxidant activity in different origin and parts of Moringa olerifera cultivated in Cheorwon. The extraction yield from leaf, root and stem were 25.5, 23.0, 12.3%, respectively. The total polyphenol content was high in the leaf extracts (15.77 mg/g) followed by root extracts (11.23 mg/g) and stem extracts (3.50 mg/g) but the difference of origin was not observed. The total flavonoid content was high in the leaf extracts (14.78 mg/g) followed by stem (1.36 mg/g) and root (1.14 mg/g). The total flavonoid content of Philippines and Thailand leaf were statistically high compared to india leaf. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was high in the leaf extracts at the 1 mg/ml, 0.25 mg/ml but the difference of origin was not observed. The DPPH radical scavenging activity may be attributed to the presence of several compounds such as polyphenol and flavonoid. Hence consumption of diet supplemented with Moringa olerifera leaves could protect the human against diseases induced by oxidative stress.
