After being subjected to different cooking methods, small black beans (Rhynchosia nulubilis) were investigated in order to assess the effects of the retained bioactive compounds. Using uncooked, pan broiled, boiled, steamed, and pressure cooked beans, the inhibitory effects of MCF-7 cell migration were evaluated at protein concentrations of 40, 160, and 640 μm/mL, using the Boyden's chamber assay. All protein concentrations (40, 160, and 640 μm/mL) of pan broiled beans showed significant reduction (59.83, 32.48, and 21.37%, respectively) in the rate of cell migration to the lower chambers (p-value less than 0.001). Estimated cell migration rates correlated to the exponential decay between experimentally measured cell migration rates and converted samples. The range of estimated cell migration rate for each 100 mg/mL of cooked sample was as follows: pan broiled (21.16%), boiled (22.48%), steamed (22.48%), pressure cooked (29.52%), and uncooked (35.03%) beans. Our study indicated that selective modifications of cooking methods for small black beans, such as pan broiling, ameliorated the inhibitory effects of MCF-7 cell migration. This suggests that optimized cooking methods increase the nutritional contents of the cooked food.

본 연구는 대두와 쥐눈이콩의 열수 및 에탄올 추출물에 대한 항산화 활성을 평가함으로서 기능성 식품소재 개발로 활용하고자 한다. 대두와 쥐눈이콩의 열수 및 에탄올 추출물의 수율은 대두 추출물에서 높았으며, 열수 추출물이 에탄올 추출물보다 수율이 높았다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 쥐눈이콩 에탄올 추출물에서 26.22 mg/g으로 가장 높았고, 총 플라보노이드 함량은 쥐눈이콩 열수 추출물에서 30.52 mg/g으로 가장 높았다. 전자공여능은 대두와 쥐눈이콩 열수 및 에탄올 추출물에서 농도가 증가함에 따라 전자공여능은 증가하였으며, 낮은 농도에서 전체적으로 쥐눈이콩 추출물의 전자공여능이 높았다. SOD 유사활성능은 대두와 쥐눈이콩 열수 및 에탄올 추출물에서 농도가 증가함에 따라 SOD 유사활성능은 증가하였으며, 대체적으로 쥐눈이콩 열수 및 에탄올 추출물에서 높았고, 10mg/mL 농도에서 쥐눈이콩 열수 및 에탄올 추출물은 각각 73%, 62%이상의 SOD 유사활성능을 보였다. pH 1.2에서의 아질산염 소거능은 대두 열수 추출물 10 mg/mL 농도에서 47.60%의 소거능을 보였다. Xanthine oxidase 저해활성은 각 추출물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 낮은 농도에서는 쥐눈이콩 에탄올 추출물에서 저해활성이 높았고, 5 mg/mL 이상의 농도에서는 대두 열수 추출물에서 저해활성이 높았다. Tyrosinase 저해활성은 대두 및 쥐눈이콩 추출물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 높은 저해활성을 보였고, 10 mg/mL 농도에서 쥐눈이콩 열수 및 에탄올 추출물은 각각 42.05%, 45.67%으로 다른 추출물에 비해 저해활성이 높았다. 환원력은 추출물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 대두 추출물보다 쥐눈이콩 추출물에서 높은 환원력을 보였으며, 각 농도에서 쥐눈이콩 추출물이 대두 추출물보다 약 2배 이상의 높은 환원력을 보였다.

This study was conducted to analyze the polyphenol contents and antioxidant activities of small-black-bean- Chungkukjang-added black food (SBCB) and soybean Chungkukjang (SC) extracts for the development of functional materials. The yields of the hot-water-and-ethanol SC extracts were higher than those of the hot-water-only SC extracts, which were higher than those of the ethanol-only SC extracts. The total phenol contents of the hot-water-and-ethanol SBCB extracts were higher than those of the other extracts. The EDA values of the hot-water-and-ethanol SBCB extracts were higher in the 0.625~5.0 mL/mL extract concentration than those of the other extracts, and those of the SC extracts were high in the 10 mg/mL extract concentration. The SOD-like activities of the hot-water- and ethanol-only SC extracts were higher than those of the other extracts. The nitrite scavenging ability of the ethanol-only SC extracts was higher at pH 1.2 than that of the hot-water-only SC extracts. The xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities of the hot-water- and ethanol-only SBCB extracts were higher in the 0.625 mL/mL extract concentration than those of the other extracts, and increased along with the extract concentration. The inhibitory activities of tyrosinase also increased along with the extract concentration, and the reducing power increased along with the extract concentration and was high in the hot-water-only SBCB and SC extracts.
