양파의 이용 다변화를 위하여 껍질과 육질을 각각 100∼300℃의 조건에서 아임계수로 추출하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. 양파 껍질과 육질 모두 추출 온도가 상승함에 따라 아임계수 추출물의 페놀 함량이 증가하였다. 양파 껍질 추출물은 250℃에서 quercetin, quercetin 3,4'-diglycoside, quercetin-3- glucoside의 함량이 가장 높았고, 육질 추출물은 quercetin 3,4'-diglycoside 의 함량이 200℃에서 가 장 높았으나 quercetin 및 quercetin-3-glucoside의 함량은 상대적으로 미미하였다. 양파 껍질과 육질 추출물의 quercetin및 그 배당체 함량은 300℃에서 급격히 감소하였다. 양파 껍질과 육질 모두 추출 온도가 증가할수록 아임계수 추출물들의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능과 alcohol dehydrogenase 활성을 향상시 켰다. 이상의 결과는 적절한 아임계수 조건이 양파 추출물의 생리활성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 시사한다.

Hunter's color value “a” in dried-persimmon of table and full ripe fruit was higher than that in unripe fruit. In case of soluble solid content, full ripe fruit was 50o Brix, the highest degree, while unripe fruit was 40o Brix, the lowest degree. PPO activation of unripe fruit was 4.7, which was higher than table-ripe fruit (0.7) and full ripe (1.0). Polyphenol oxidase activation remained even while drying, but there was no difference in PPO activation degree as drying period increased. Total phenol content of unripe fruit was 101.4, which was higher than table-ripe fruit (57.5) and full ripe fruit (67.4). Total phenol content level increased as drying period increased, which was based on fresh weight. Hardness of unripe and table ripe fruit continued to decrease until three weeks during softening. After that, hardness was high and it started drying. However, in full ripe fruit, hardness increased after two weeks and softening was fast during the drying period, and its weight reduction rate was lower than that of unripe and table ripe fruit.

Propolis collected from botanical sources by honey bee, has been used as a popular natural remedies in folk medicine throughout the world. This study was conducted to assess growth inhibitory effects of ethanol extracts of propolis (EEPs) from 20 different regions in South Korea on human intestinal bacteria as well as BACE-1, AChE inhibitory, antioxidant, antiproliferative, and anti-human rhinovirus activities. Correlation coefficient (r) analysis of the biological activities of EEP samples was determined using their 50% inhibition concentration or minimal inhibitory concentration values and their polyphenol or flavonoid contents in 20 Korean EEP samples. Correlation coefficient analysis showed that total polyphenol contents may be negatively correlated with DPPH free radical scavenging activity (r = –0.872) and total flavonoid content has no correlation with the activity (r = 0.071). No direct correlation between BACE-1 inhibition, AChE inhibition, or antiproliferative activity and total polyphenol or total flavonoid content in Korean EEP samples was found.

The purpose of current study was to examine bioaccessibility of antioxidant activity and total phenolic content in each part of water spinach (Ipomoea aquatic Forsk.). In vitro biomimicking system simulated human digestive fluid was employed in order to measure bioavailable anti-oxidative effect and phenolic content. Antioxidant activity and total phenolic content was measured by using the DPPH method and the Folin-Ciocalteu assay, respectively. Stem of water spinach had a higher DPPH free radical scavenging effect (5.43 mg/mL for IC50) than leaf (5.95 mg/mL for IC50), while leaf had a greater level of total phenolic content (287.45 μg GAE/mL) than stem (216.45 μg GAE/mL). Bioaccessible antioxidant capacity and digestive stability of total phenolic content showed a similar pattern to what found in raw materials. Our result also indicated that total phenolic content was not found to be a major marker for prediction of antioxidant activity. It is plausible that other constituents such as vitamin E and C in water spinach could be contributors for antioxidant activities.

This study attempted to investigate the antioxidant properties of four different species of sand dune plants (Calystegia soldanella, Messerschmidia sibirica, Vitex rotundifolia and Rosa rugosa). In order to validate the antioxidant activity of these plants, we first determined the total amount of flavonoid versus phenolic contents (TFC/TPC) and extracted crude flavonoids for measuring antioxidant activities that were determined by DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays with radical scavenging effects. We found that highest amounts of TPC were detected in R. rugose with values of 110.20 ㎎/g (leaves) and 65.71 ㎎/g (stems), while the highest amounts of TFC in V. rotundifolia with values of 38.07 ㎎/g (leaves) and 6.55 ㎎/g (stems). We further examined how closely related the amounts of TFC/TPC in antioxidant activities and found that R. rugose has the highest activities of radical scavenging with values of 63.4 ㎍/㎖ and 51.2 ㎍/㎖ determined by DPPH and ABTS assays compared with the value of 21.2 ㎍/㎖ by FRAP assay. It is of note that there is a statistically significant correlation between the resulting antioxidant activities and the total ratio of TFC and TPC, suggesting that the different amounts of TFC/TPC may directly contribute to the various antioxidant activities.

Total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were investigated in leaves of organic apricot, filbert, mulberry, persimmon, and pomegranate trees during growing season. Total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in leaves of organic apricot and filbert trees were gradually increased from May to June, attained peak in July, thereafter decreased to minimum level in October. In leaves of organic mulberry tree total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were simultaneously increased from May to June and sharply decrease to very low level. The leaves of organic persimmon trees showed very high level of total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity from May to June, thereafter gradually decrease to October. The leaves of organic pomegranate trees showed extraordinarily highest level of total phenolic compounds among five fruit trees investigated in the study during growing stages, as well as maintained higher than 91 percent of antioxidant activity from May to October. Correlation coefficients between total phenolic compound and antioxidant activity of the leaves of five organic trees were the highest in mulberry leaves, and then persimmon, filbert, apricot, and pomegranate, respectively. However, correlation coefficients between total phenolic compound and antioxidant activity of the leaves of organic pomegranate were very low level, and not significant in their relationship.

Flavonoids and total polyphenols are important secondary plant metabolites, as they play a role in reducing the oxidative stress caused by ROS In this study, we investigated for flavonoid contents, total polyphenol contents, and antioxidant activities in 27 accessions from 10 Vicia species. Among 27 vicia accessions, NAC17 (V. monantha) and NAC14 (V. hyrcanica) had the highest total flavonoid (1.42 ± 0.09 mg/g) and total polyphenol (124.2 ± 0.5 μg/GAE mg) contents, respectively. In four flavonoids, naringenin showed the highest concentrations in Vicia species. The DPPH and ABTS were the range from 0.2 (NAC24, V. sativa subsp. nigra) to 18.5 (NAC13, V. faba) μg/ASC mg and 19.1 (NAC7, V. cracca) to 253.4 (NAC13, V. faba) μg/Trolox mg, respectively. Among the 10 Vicia species, V. monantha and V. hyrcanica had the highest flavonoid (1.31 ± 0.09 mg/g) and total polyphenol (116.5 ± 2.0 μg/GAE mg) contents, respectively. The highest antioxidant activity was detected in V. faba. These results will expand the flavonoid database and provide information on Vicia species valuable for development of functional foods or feed-additives resources.

본 연구는 강릉, 대관령에서 재배된 아마란스 품종별로 수량, 생육특성, 항산화활성, 총페놀함량 그리고 유리아미노산의 차이를 조사하고 국내 적응이 가능한지 살펴보고자 실시하였다. 수량은 125~465 kg 10a-1의 범위였으며 RRC 1027 품종이 가장 많았다. 천립중은 0.42~0.82 g으로 아주 작았고 특히 Kerala Red 품종이 가장 가벼웠다. DPPH를 이용한 항산화 활성 분석에서 지역별로는 강릉과 대관령 사이의 유의차는 없었으나 품종별로는 유색품종인 Kerala Red가 가장 높았다. 총 폴리페놀 함량을 분석한 결과 994~1,732 mg kg-1의 범위를 보였다. 종실의 유리아미노산 함량 분석 결과 glutamic acid 30.5 mg 100 g-1, aspartic acid 26.1 mg 100-1, arginine 24.3 mg 100 g-1 순이었다. 이러한 결과를 종합해 볼 때 국내에서 아마란스 재배는 수량 등에서도 안정적이었고 glutamic acid, aspartic acid, arginine 등 곡물에 부족할 수 있는 유리아미노산을 포함하고 있어 새로운 작물로 개발 가능성이 높을 것으로 기대된다. 그러나 항산화활성능을 측정하기 위하여 DPPH 방법 이외에 다른 방법을 모색할 필요가 있을 것으로 생각된다.

국내에서 제조 및 시판되고 있는 사과를 비롯한 과일 주스 5종, 포도 주스 10종의 총 페놀 함량과 항산화 활성을 DPPH 방법과 FRAP 방법으로 조사하였다. 시판 과일 주스 중 오렌지의 총 페놀 함량이 114.09 nlg/L로 가장 높게 나타났고, 포도주스 10종은 의 함량으로 제품 별로 다양하게 나타났다. 과일 주스의 DPPH radical 소거 활성은 자몽이 가장 높았으며 사과, 파인애플이 낮았다. 포도주스의 항산화 활성은 제품에 따라 다

도시 아파트의 발코니와 빌딩옥상에서 상추, 래디시, 미니배추 등의 채소를 재배하여 비타민 C와 총페놀성 화합물 함량을 측정하였으며, 항산화활성을 재배장소별로 비교하였다. 아파트의 남향 발코니에서 재배한 채소는 외부 환경에 노출된 옥상 재배와 비슷한 생육정도를 보였으나, 일조량이 부족한 동향 발코니 재배 채소는 크기는 작으나 조직이 연해 샐러드용으로 활용하기에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 남향 발코니에서 30일 재배한 상추와 래디시의 비타민 C 함량은 각각 18.0 mg%과 27.9 mg%로서, 동향 발코니와 옥상 재배 채소보다 높게 나타났으나, 총페놀성 화합물 함량과 항산화활성은 옥상재배 채소보다 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 발코니에서 재배한 채소는 수확 후 바로 섭취함으로서 저장 및 유통에 따른 항산화물질의 손실을 줄일 수 있을 것이며, 발코니 공간은 봄부터 가을철 까지 다양한 채소를 재배할 수 있는 채소밭으로 활용 가능함을 확인하였다. 따라서 도시 아파트의 발코니에서 기능성 식용식물을 재배한다면 관상효과와 더불어 매일 신선한 무공해 채소를 공급하게 될 것이며, 본 연구 결과는 발코니 채소밭 보급을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Artichoke extracts are widely used alone or in association with other herbs for embittering alcoholic and soft drinks and to prepare herbal teas or herbal medicinal products in Viet Nam. The objective of this paper was a screening of flavonoids and total phenolic compounds content in the parts of artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) as flowers, leaves, roots, trunks, stumps. The total phenolic compounds and flavonoids in the parts of artichoke were extracted among 3 extraction methods as methanol extraction (EM1), mixing methanol and water method (EM2) and water extraction method (EM3). Total phenolic compounds and flavonoids were determined by UV/VIS, HPLC techniques. The apigenin 7-O-glucosides, cynarin, narirutin, gallic acid, caffeic acid were found as the main flavonoids constituents in all parts of artichoke. It showed that value of total phenolic compounds and flavonoids by EM3 were higher than that of total phenolic compounds and flavonoids by EM1 and EM2. Furthermore, the results of this study revealed that total phenolic compounds and flavonoids, obtained by these convenient extraction methods, may show the quick efficacy of artichoke in all respects of their quality and quantity.

This objective of this study was to determined the activity of antioxidants of DPPH, SOD and total phenolic compounds in mushroom(P. eryngii spp.) extract. The antioxidant acitivity using DPPH showed that strain No. 2007(31.78~%) and strain No.2014(27.45~%) were the highest DPPH inhibition. Among the thirteen mushroom examined, strain No. 2014(58.30~%) and strain No. 2010(57.19~%) had the highest SOD activity. The highest total phenol content were in strain No.2013(1465.03~mug/g) and strain No.2005(1401.09~mug/g) . Our study suggest that it may be possible to improve mushroom with high natural antioxidant.

Cereal grains are rich in phenolic compounds that give beneficial effect in human health. Although several research works have been reported on the effects of phytochemicals of plant origin, such as fruits, vegetables, few studies have examined the antioxidative effects of whole cereal grains. The objective of this study was to determine total antioxidant capacity of 80% ethanolic extracts of cereal grains by testing the ability of the extracts to inhibit UV -induced lipid peroxidation in vitro using linoleic acid in comparison to well-known antioxidant such as ascorbic acid and tannic acid. The total phenolic content of the cereal grain (80% ethanolic extracts) investigated in this study varied from 2.1 mg/g (wheat cv. Olgeurumil) to 10.4 mg/g (barely cv. Seodunchalbori). Highly positive relationship between total phenol compounds and antioxidant activity was found. When the antioxidant activities of all investigated extracts were measured with application of same quantity of phenol compounds, oat grain extracts showed similar antioxidant activity of barely cultivars. However, barely extract appeared as the most potent antioxidant activity of inhibition of UV -induced lipid peroxidation. This indicated that factors such as phenolic compound composition and their individual antioxidant activity could playa crucial role in the total antioxidant activity of cereal grains.
