Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the several physicochemical extraction characteristics and the antioxidant activities of ethanol extract from Rhus javanica bark. The contents of soluble solid and sugar in extract was measured to 73.5 mg/100g dry basis and $17.8^{\circ}Brix$, respectively. The contents of total aromatics, total flavonoids and total phenolic compounds was measured to 0.508 in absorbance, 49.88 mg/100g and 296.6 mg/100g, respectively. The reducing power of extract was about 27.5 % of ascorbic acid with the same soluble solid contents of the extract. But the ferric reducing antioxidant power and the DPPH radical scavenging ability of extract were measured to equivalent to those of ascorbic acid. The metal ion chelating ability of the extract was 81.58 % whereas that of ascorbic acid was 74.73 %. The nitrite scavenging ability of the extract was measured to 51.76 % at pH 2. And the antioxidative effect of the extract on soybean oil was observed with Rancimat test.
붉나무의 유용성에 대한 기초자료를 마련하고자 붉나무 수피를 에탄올로 추출하여 추출물의 몇 가지 이화학적 특성과 항산화 활성을 측정하였다. 추출물의 가용성 고형분의 함량은 73.5 mg/100g, 당도는 $17.8^{\circ}Brix$로 측정되었으며, 총방향족 화합물, 총플라보노이드 함량 및 총페놀성 화합물의 함량은 각각 흡광도 0.508, 49.88 mg/100g 및 296.6 mg/100g으로 측정되었다. 추출물의 환원력은 대조구로서 추출물의 가용성 고형분과 동량의 ascorbic acid의 27.5 %로 측정되었으나, 철환원력은 ascorbic acid와 유사하게 측정되었다. 추출물의 DPPH라디칼 소거능은 95.16 %로서 ascorbic acid와 거의 유사하였고, 금속이온 봉쇄능은 ascorbic acid의 74.73 %보다 높은 81.58 %로 측정되었다. 그리고 pH 2에서 추출물의 아질산염 소거능은 51.76 %로 측정되었으며, Rancimat test에 의한 대두유 산화 억제효과가 있음을 확인하였다.
