단백질 계면활성제로서의 아미노산 계면활성제는 친환경적인 화합물이다. 따라서 아미노산계 계면활성제는 차세대 계면활성제로 기대된다. 아미노산계 계면활성제는 높은 생분해성, 낮은 독성 및 표면 활성 특성을 갖는다. 이 실험에서 아미노산 기반의 계면활성제인 cocoyl glycine은 코코넛 오일과 팜 오일과 같은 트리글리세라이드와 글리신에 의해 합성되었다. 그리고 이것은 표면 장력, 유화 특성, 거품 안정성 및 HLB 값을 측정하였다. 합성된 계면활성제는 FT-IR에 의해 확인되었다. 희석된 계면활성제 수용액에서 코코넛 오일로 합성된 계면활성제의 표면 장력은 1.0 × 10-4 mol/L에서 31.2 dyne/cm 이었다. 희석된 계면활성제의 수용액에서 팜 오일에 의해 합성된 계면활성제의 표면 장력은 3.2 x 10-5 mol/L에서 42.1 dyne/cm 이었다. 기포 안정성은 시간 경과에 따라 기포 높이를 측정했다. 코코넛 오일로 합성된 계면활성제의 초기 기포 높이는 14.5cm이고 5분 후 10.7cm였다. 팜 오일에 의해 합성된 계면활성제의 초기 기포 높이는 3.0 cm이고, 5 분 후에 2.8 cm이다. 코코넛 오일로 합성한 계면 활성제의 기포 높이는 팜 오일로 합성한 계면 활성제보다 높았다. 그러나 팜 오일로 합성한 계면활성제의 기포 안정성은 코코넛 오일로 합성한 계면활성제보다 우수하였다. 합성된 계면활성제의 유화 특성은 벤젠과 콩 기름에서 관찰되며 유기 용매에서의 유화 성질이 콩기름에서보다 우수하다.

옥수수기름의 탈취온도가 탈취유의 이화학적 항수, 지방산 조성 및 triglyceride 조성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고 적정 탈취온도 조건을 확립하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 240~270℃의 탈취온도에서 산값은 240℃ 처리군에서 0,07로 가장 낮았고, 250~270℃에서는 0.08~0.09의 범위를 나타내었다. Lovibond total color는 255℃에서 가장 낮은 24였으며, 과산화물값은 240~270℃ 전구간에서 0을 나타내었으나 235℃에서는 0.42로 과산화물이 완전 제거되지 않아 240℃이상의 탈취온도가 요망되었다. 한편, 탈취온도가 증가할수록 myristic, palmitic, stearic acid 등의 포화지방산 함량이 지속적으로 증가하였고, 특히 탈납유에서는 존재하지 않았던 arachidic acid함량이 급속한 증가 경향을 보였다. 탈취온도에 따라 TG조성도 변화를 보여 250℃ 이상 처리군에서는 S3형 TG가 발견되는등 고온탈취는 탈취유의 이화학적 특성에 좋지 못한 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The purpous of the study was to find an effect of oral administered medium chain triglyceride(MCT) diet on the serum and enzyme activities of Spraque-Dawly rats when they were oral fed with MCT, soybean oil and palm oil. The result was as follow. 1) The body weight gains in MCT diet group was lower than that of the all experimental group. 2) Total cholesterol levels in serum and liver of MCT diet group were very lower than that of the all experimental groups. 3) HDL-cholesterol level of MCT diet group was higher than that of the all experimental group except normal group and VLDL, LDL-cholesterol levels was very higher. 4) TG and PL levels of MCT diet group higher than that of the control group. 5) The activities of GOT with soybean oil diet group and of GPT with MCT diet group were lower than that of the all experimental group. 6) HDL-levels in the serum lipoprotein of MCT diet group was increased and LDL levels was decreased.

To investigate the effect of feeding rats medium-chain triglyceride(MCT), triglyceride containing primarily C8 and C10 fatty acids, it were compared to the effects of feeding triglycerides composed of long-chain triglyceride (LCT), corn oil and lard, on the serum enzyme activity. For 4 weeks rats fed a diet containing 20％ MCT or LCT · MCT, as compared with LCT, had the following effects: 1) The total lactic dehydrogenase(LDH) activities in the serum of all experimental group were significantly decreased then those of control group. 2) The activities of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) in the serum of all experimental group were decreased than those of control group. 3) The activities of glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) in the serum of all experimental group were decreased, MCT and LCT group were singinficantly decreased than of control group. 4) The activities of α-amylase in the serum of all groups were significantly increased than those of control group. 5) According to electrophoresis, LDH of LDH isoezyme activities in MCT and Lard group were increased with those of LDH5 in corn oil group were increased than those of control gourp. It is suggested that the MCT and LCT fed to rats influence on the activity of various serum enzymes.

Because of its more complete hydrolysis and rapid absorption, MCT is expected its usefulness in the diets of patients with malabsorption syndrom. Also, several authors reported that serum cholesterol level was lower after MCT feedings. In this study, rate of each experimental group were fed for 4weeks with 20％ MCT, 20％ corn oil, mixed diet of 10％ MCT and 10％ corn oil, mixed diet of 17％ corn oil and 3％ shortening. After experimental diet, it was measured to growth rate and serum cholesterol, triglyceride and phospholipid level. The results were as follows; 1. The body weight gain was the lowest in MCT group and others were lower than control group. 2. Serum total cholesterol level was the lowest in corn oil group and others were significantly lower than control group. Free cholesterol level was lower in all experimental groups than control group too. 3. Serum HDL-cholesterol level was significantly higher in all experimental groups than control group. 4. The ratio of VLDL, LDL-Cholesterol to HDL-Cholesterol was significantly lower in all experimental groups than control group. 5. Serum triglyceride level was higher in all experimental groups than control group. Serum phospholipid level was significantly in only mixed diet group of corn oil and shortening than control group. 6. The ratio of total cholesterol to phospholipid was significantly lower in corn oil diet group than control group.

The purpose of the study was to find an effect of Medium Chain Triglycerids (MCT) diet on cholesterol metabolism in rat. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed two different diets containing MCT(trioctanoate) and corn oil respectively. After feeding to each group for four weeks, the levels of serum and liver cholesterol, the excretion rates of fecal and biliary steroids, and also bile acid composition were investigated. The results obtained from the study are as follows : (1) The average body weight gain in MCT group was almost same as that in the corn oil group. (2) The concentration of serum cholesterol in MCT group was lower than that in the corn oil group. Therefore it is confirmed that the cholesterol lowing action of MCT diet was practically high. (3) The concentrations of liver cholesterol and Triglyceride in MCT group were almost same as that in the corn oil group. Therefore it is thought that the level of liver lipids was not influenced by the difference of diet in this study. (4) The excretion rate of fecal neutral steroid in MCT group was significantly lower than that in the corn oil group, while the rate of fecal bile acid excretion was about same in both MCT and corn oil group. (5) The composition rates of fecal bile acid such as cholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid and deoxycholic acid, a secondary acid of cholic acid, in MCT group were significantly lower than that in the corn oil group. (6) The excretion rates of biliary cholesterol and bile acid in MCT group were significantly higher than that in the corn oil group, while the composition rates of biliary bile acid such as chenoddeoxycholic acid and deoxycholic acid in MCT group were significantly higher than that in the corn oil group.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a kind of liver inflammation caused by an accumulation of fat in the liver. Patients with NAFLD have an increased risk to develop liver fibrosis, which leads to cirrhosis. To investigate hepatoprotective effects of Agrimonia eupatoria L (A. eupatoria), oleic acid-induced NAFLD in HepG2 cells was used and A. eupatoria was fractionated with ethanol (EtOH), n-hexane, dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (BuOH), and H2O. Cells treated with the EtOAc fraction showed the highest lipid accumulation inhibiting effect. A. eupatoria also suppressed triglyceride accumulation and inhibited expression of lipid marker gene, such as a peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ). Moreover, another marker, mRNA expression level of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α (PPAR-α) was significantly increased by in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that A. eupatoria is a potent agent for the treatment of NAFLD.
