Abstract
The antioxidant effects of 700 ppm ginseng extract, 100ppm caffeic acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, or ${\alpha}-topherol$ on the 1% linoleic acid aqueous buffer system was studied by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) and headspace oxygen. The compounds showed antioxidant activities in the following order: $caffeic\;acid{\geq}ferulic\;acid\;>\;{\alpha}-tocopherol$>ginseng extract>vanillic acid, with the oxidation inhibition ratio of 63.5, 62.9, 52.3, 51.2 and 5.6% of the control according to MDA results. The mixture of 100 ppm caffeic acid, 100 ppm ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and 700 ppm ginseng extract had a high oxidation inhibition ratio of 91.2%. Headspace oxygen results had a similar trend with the MDA results. Headspace oxygen results showed that the antioxidant activities were in order of ferulic acid>caffeic acid>${\alpha}-tocopherol$>ginseng extract>vanillic acid and headspace oxygen contents were 18.56, 17.78, 17.17, 16.65 and 15.95%, respectively.
Linoleic acid 1% 완충용액에 3종의 phenolic acid류, 즉 caffeic acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid 및 인삼 추출물에 대한 산화방지 효과를 비교물질로 ${\alpha}-tocopherol$을 사용하여 MDA (malondialdehyde) 정량법과 headspace oxygen analysis로 측정 비교 하였다. MDA 생성량으로 비교한 산화방지 효과는 $caffeic\;acid{\geq}ferulic\;acid>{\alpha}-tocopherol>$인삼 추출물>vanillic acid 순으로 나타났으며, 이때 산화저해율은 각각 63.5, 62.9, 52.3, 51.2, 5.6% 이었다. 첨가된 인삼 추출물의 농도는 700 ppm, 그외 phenolic aicd류 및 ${\alpha}-tocopherol$의 농도는 각각 100 ppm 이었다. 또한 인삼 추출물에 caffeic acid와 ${\alpha}-tocopherol$을 각각 100 ppm 첨가한 결과 91.2%의 산화저해율을 나타내었다. Headspace oxygen analysis 에 따른 결과에서는 MDA 생성량으로 비교한 산화방지 효과와 유사한 경향으로 나타났으며, ferulic acid>caffeic acid>${\alpha}-tocopherol$>인삼 추출물>vanillic acid의 순 이었고, 이때의 headspace 중 산소 함량은 18.56, 17.78, 17.17, 16.65, 15.95%로 각각 나타났다.
