Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the effect of gamma irradiated Puerariae radix extract on color removal, antioxidative, DPPH radical scavenging and antimicrobial efftcts. Puerariae radix were extracted with methanol and acetone and irrdiated 10, 20 and 30 kGy with gamma ray. Hunter color L-value increased by irrdiation in a dose dependent manner, resulting in brighter color. But a and b values decreased by irradiation in a dose dependent manner. Antioxidant activities of the Puerariae radix extract in soybean oil emulsion were higher in methanol extract than acetone extract. Scavenging effect of Puerariae radix extracts on DPPH radical with methanol was not changed by irradiation but acetone decreased Acetone extract from Puerariae radix showed antimicrobial activities in B. subtilis, B, natto, B, megaterium S, aureus, Sal, typhymurium and E. coli methanol extract also had the antimicrobial activities but weaker for Sal. typhymurium and E. coli. Results suggested that Puerariae radix extracts have a potential as a natural food preservatives and cosmetic raw material.

칡 추출물에 감마선을 조사하여 색상 개선, 항산화성 및 항균성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 칡 추출물은 methanol 과 acetone으로 추출하였으며, 감마선은 10, 20 그리고 30 kGy로 조사하였다. 칡 추출물은 감마선 조사 선량이 증가할수록 명도(Hunter color L-value)가 증가하였으며, 적색도(a값) 와 황색도(b값)은 감소하는 경향을 보여줬다. 칡 추출물의 항산화력(TBARS)은 acetone 추출물보다 methanol 추출물이 더 높았다. 전자 공여능 측정 결과는 methanol 추출의 경우 비조사구와 조사구 모두 비슷한 활성을 보여줬으나 acetone 추출의 경우 감소하는 경향을 보여줬다. 칡 추출물의 용매별 및 감마선 조사 선량에 따른 항균효과는 acetone 추출의 경우, B. subtilis, B, natto, B, megaterium, S, aureus, Sal, typhymurium and E coli.등 모든 균주에 대체적으로 높은 항균 활성을 나타냈으나, methanol 추출의 경우에서는 Sal. typhymurium과 E. coli을 제외하고 항균 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 칡 추출물은 30 kGy까지 감마선을 조사했을 때, 추출물의 생리활성이 감소하는 경향은 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 칡 추출물을 감마선 조사 후, 식품 보존제 및 화장품 원료로서 가능성이 있을 것으로 생각된다.
