The radical scavenging activity of methanol extracts of seaweeds and their active compounds, alginic acid, fucoidan and phloroglucinol, were investigated under in vitro. Among methanol extracts of seaweeds (sea mustard, sea tangle, seaweed papulosa, fusiforme, sea lettuce, purple laver and chlorella), seaweed papulosa and sea tangle showed strong scavenging activities of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and hydroxyl radical (${\cdot}OH$). In addition, under in vitro, the scavenging activities on DPPH radical of alginic acid and fucoidan, which are active compounds of brown algae, and phloroglucinol, the active compound from Ecklonia species, were evaluated and compared. Fucoidan and phloroglucinol showed strong DPPH scavenging effect, in particular, phloroglucinol had strongest activity among the active compounds. On the other hand, alginic acid did not exert DPPH scavenging activity. From the present study, we could confirm the antioxidative activity of seaweeds and its active compounds.

Antioxidative activites and anti skin aging effects of radish(Raphanus sativus L. var. sativus) extracts were studied. The DPPH(1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazal) inhibitory effects and CAT(Catalase) activities of hydrophilic radish extracts(DPPH 81.0%, CAT 175units/mg) were significantly higher than lipophilic radish extracts(DPPH 50.0%, CAT 45unitg/mg). But, SOD(superoxide dismutase) activities of hydrophilic radish extracts(SOD 81.3%) were lower than lipophilic radish extracts(SOD 92.3%) In the Bovine Achilles Tendon collagen treated with hydrophilic radish extracts and lipophilic radish extracts, the pyridinoline concentration of collagen were decreased, respectively.

The inhibitory effect of the aerial parts of Fagopyrum esculentum on the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical was examined. The n-butanol fraction from the methanol extract of title plant showed stronger inhibitory effect than other fractions on DPPH radical. Two flavonoids were isolated from n-butanol fraction having the potent activity and elucidated as quercetin-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnoside and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside on the basis of spectral evidence. The $IC_{50}$ values of these compounds on DPPH radical were 6.56 ${\mu}M$ and 8.37 ${\mu}M$, respectively.

Two antioxidative compounds in Chrysanthemum boreale were isolated by a bioassay using a 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrydrazyl(DPPH) free radical. They were identified as apigenin, linarin(acacetin-7-O-rutinoside) on the basis of $^1H\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$ and MS data. The DPPH radical scavenging activity$(RC_{50}:\;13.3{\mu}g)$ of apigenin was similar to that of ${\alpha}-tocopherol\;(12.1{\mu}g)$ and L-ascorbic acid$(13.1{\mu}g)$

Objectives : This study was carried out to investigate an antioxidant ability, the change of antioxidant ability, antimicrobial activity and anticancer in functional meat ball and sausage prepared from Lentinus edoes mycelium and texturized soy protein. Methods : This experiments was carried out to investigate antioxidant ability(TBARS, DPPH, SOD-like ability), antibacterial activity and anticancer ability using sarcoma 180 extracts from Lentinus edoes mycelium. Result : Anticancer ability of Lentinus edoes mycelium showed a 28% survival rate and 63% of inhibition rate of tumor, which showed $1.30{\pm}0.4g$ of tumor weight. These results revealed an effective Lentinus edoes mycelium resources as anticancer sources. After heating peoducts prepared from Lentinus edoes mycelium, these products doesn't showed difference between after heating and before heating in measuring of SOD-like activity and DPPH. In DPPH experiment, ethanol extracts showed a high DPPH value as 90.85%, but hot water extracts showed 82.14% in DPPH value. Conclusion : In conclusion, it is very useful resources for preparing functional food on the basis of results from antioxidant(TBARS, DPPH, SOD-like ability), antibacterial activity and anticancer ability using sarcoma 180.

Correlation among color intensity, electron donating ability to $\alpha$, $\alpha$-diphenyl-$\beta$-dicrylhydrazy(DPPH) and cultivation conditions by Bacillus subtilis DC-2 were tested with response surface methodology. Both of pigment generation ability and DPPH were more affected by temperature than any other factor. The highest correlation was appeared between color intensity and DPPH as 0.8364 which is significant at 1% level. After fixing cultivation time which is not significant at 10% level to 84hrs as optical cultivation time, response surface methodology was conducted in regarding temperature and color intensity. As a result of overlapped contour map of color intensity and DPPH, when cultivation temperature was in the range of 38.9~41.1$^{\circ}C$ and pH was in the range of 8.34~9.12, optical density of color intensity was predicted higher than 0.374 at 390nm and DPPH was infered higher than 1.310 at 528nm. In the range of optical culture condition, cultivation temperature, pH and cultivation time was fixed to 4$0^{\circ}C$, 8.5 and 85hrs, respectively. In resulting, observation value of color intensity and DPPH was in the range of anticipation value as 0.386 at 390nm and 1.332 at 528nm respectively.

Protein hydrolysates derived from plants and animals having antioxidant, suppression of hypertension, immunodulatory, alleviation of pain, and antimicrobial activity has been known as playing important role like hormone. This study was performed to hydrolysis of Ogae egg white protein using the six proteases. The antioxidant activity of the produced peptides was analyzed. As a result, the maximum value of hydrolysis was protamex(46.3%), DPPH radical scavenging was bromelain(57.23%), hydroxy radical scavenging was alcalase(30.21%), superoxide radical scavenging was alcalase(58.07%), and $Fe^{2+}$ chelation ability was alcalase(72.06%). Furthermore, the antioxidant Inhibition concentration ($IC_{50}$) of peptides was evaluated for each enzyme. As a result, the maximum value of alcalase was $Fe^{2+}$ cheating ability($IC_{50}$, 1.24 mg/mL), bromelain was DPPH radical scavenging($IC_{50}$, 2.46 mg/mL), flavourzyme was $Fe^{2+}$ cheating ability($IC_{50}$, 1.25 mg/mL), neutrase was DPPH radical scavenging($IC_{50}$, 3.64 mg/mL), papain was DPPH radical scavenging ($IC_{50}$, 3.82 mg/mL) and protamex was DPPH radical scavenging($IC_{50}$, 1.93 mg/mL). Therefore, we expect that peptides produced from Ogae egg white protein using protease enzyme are useful as an antioxidant functional food ingredients.

The present study was conducted to compare antioxidant activity of Cuscutae Semen, Psoraleae Fructus, Cnidii Fructus and Epimedii Herba by DPPH radical scavenging activity. The extract was studied using diphenyl-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) for DPPH method. DPPH radical scavenging activity was measured after. .10, 20 and 30 minutes. The extract was tested by 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 and $1000{\mu}g/ml$ concentrations. The results showed that the extract scavenged DPPH radical with time-dependent manner. Also, the extract showed dose-dependent DPPH radical scavenging activity. The extract of Cuscutae Semen, Psoraleae Fructus, Cnidii Fructus and Epimedii Herba scavenged DPPH radical with the IC50 being 2.7, 3.2, 2.9 and 1.1 mg/ml, respectively. In conclusion, the extract of Epimedii Herba, Cuscutae Semen, Cnidii Fructus and Psoraleae Fructus have antioxidant activity for the treatment of male sterility.

A 96-well plate was applied to determine the DPPH free radical scavenging activity using 107 plant-specific enzyme inhibitors and 100 unknown plant-originated extracts. The final optimum volume was $250{\mu}L$ containing $100{\mu}M$ DPPH ethanolic solution at pH 7.8. In this condition, the radical scavenging activities were significantly increased by two known antioxidants consisting of ascorbate and a-tocopherol in a concentration-dependent manner. Among the 107 inhibitors, ampicillin and gallic acid showed 90.2% and 92.6% antioxidant activity at $100{\mu}M$, respectively, and these results were consisted with previous findings. In the tested 100 natural materials at $50{\mu}g/mL$, antioxidant activity of AT-407 resulted in the highest of 90.1%, and 10 extracts including AT-388 and AT-443 showed over 70%. Our results suggest that the use of 96-well plate for determining DPPH free radical scavenging activity would be a suitable method to select antioxidant-like substances of both synthetic compounds and natural products.
