Schisandrae chinensis (Omija) is traditionally used as a food-based medicinal/pharmaceutical resources including antidiabetic agent in worldwide. In this study, the optimal combined formula of Omija extract and soybean mixture (OSM) were investigated for its effects on type 2 diabetes model expressed in in Vitro and in Vivo animal model. Using whole extracts, we confirmed inhibitory effects to α-glucosidase, α-amylase and the DPPH scavenging in Vitro and examined glucose tolerance in mice. The combined optimum formulation of OSM were significantly ameliorated type 2 diabetes-related. Furthermore, activation of p-Akt, p-AMPK, p-IRS and GLUT2 expression level is pivotal roles of in this anti-diabetic molecular mechanism on in Vivo without side effects. Therefore, these results suggest that OSM is good resources for improves of type 2 diabetes and its complications.

The methanol extracts of 25 leguminous seeds in vitro was evaluated for inhibitory activities against the small intestinal $\alpha$-glucosidase of Sprague Dawley male rats. The responses varied both with leguminous seed types and concentrations used. At the concentration of 0.5 mg/ml, the methanol extracts of Cassia obtusifolia, Glycine max var. yagkong, Glycine max var. hooktae, Glycine max var. geumdu, Glycine max var. mejukong, Glycine soja, Phaseolus multiflorus, Pisum sativum, and Vigna sinensis inhibited over 50% of the enzyme activity. The extracts of G. max var. yagkong and V. sinensis showed relatively strong inhibitory activities against $\alpha$-glucosidase at the concentration of 0.1 mg/ml. The activity of each solvent fraction from G. max var. yagkong and V. sinensis was determined, and potent activities were detected from chloroform and butanol fractions, respectively. $IC_{50}$ values of G. max var. yagkong and V. sinensis were 0.06 and 0.19 mg/ml, respectively. As a naturally occurring therapeutic agents, leguminous seeds examined could be useful for developing new types of antidiabetic agents.

Katsura tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum Sieb. Et Zucc) leaves were collected, air-dried and extracted with 70% aqueous acetone, then concentrated and sequentially fractionated using n-hexane, $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc, and $H_2O$ to be freeze dried for antioxidant and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity tests. The antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl 2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging assay. The test concentrations were adjusted to 500, 250, 125, 62.5, 31.25, 15.62, 7.81, 3.9, 1.95 and 0.97 ppm. The $H_2O$ and EtOAc fractions showed higher activities compared with the control, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, at all concentrations. The crude fraction also gave better activity at the concentrations lower than 62.5 ppm. However, the nonpolar n-hexane and $CH_2Cl_2$ fractions gave prominently lower activities compared with the control at all concentrations. The $IC_{50}$ values of the crude, EtOAc, and $H_2O$ fractions exhibited 11.78, 4.29 and $9.80{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, respectively, compared with $12.08{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of the control. But the n-hexane and $CH_2Cl_2$ fractions indicated 300 and $91.85{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of $IC_{50}$, respectively. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase inhibition activity was evaluated at the concentrations of 50, 25, 12.5, 6.3, 3.1, 1.6 and 0.8 ppm. The inhibition activities were increased according to as the increase of sample concentrations. However, the nonpolar n-hexane and $CH_2Cl_2$ fractions indicated very low inhibition activities compared with acarbose, a positive control. The EtOAc fraction showed very good capability as almost 100% compared with the control at the higher concentrations than 12.5 ppm and the crude fraction also indicated good potential as 95% and 100% at 25 and 50 ppm, respectively. The $H_2O$ fraction gave good inhibition value as 90% at 50 ppm although the value was lower than the control. These results showed that the polar fractions had better ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activities. The $IC_{50}$ values of the nonpolar fractions, n-hexane and $CH_2Cl_2$, showed very lower values as 468 and $103.6{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, respectively, than the control. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase Inhibition Activity of the Extracts of Katsura Tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum Sieb. Et Zucc) Leaves However, the polar fractions, crude, EtOAc and $H_2O$, showed 7.1, 3.7 and $13{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, respectively, indicating that these fractions can be used as natural bioresources for treating diabetes mellitus. Also ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity had a positive correlation with antioxidant activity of the extracts.

전통발효식품의 기능성을 증명하기 위하여 경상남도 거창 농가로부터 구입한 오미자를 발효시켜 오미자 발효액을 제조하였으며, 여러 가지 생리활성에 대하여 조사하였다. 우선 오미자 발효액의 혈전분해능에 대해 분석한 결과, 혈전용 해제로 알려져 있는 plasmin보다 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 항고혈압 활성 측정 실험에서는 현재 시판되고 있는 항고혈압제인 captopril은 93.4%의 ACE 억제효과가 나타났고, 5배 희석한 오미자 발효액(20%)에서는 94.8%의 높은 저해활성을 나타내었다. 따라서 오미자 발효액은 인체에 부작용이 적은 천연 항고혈압소재로서 이용가능성이 높은 것으로 사료된다. 혈당 강하 효과를 조사하기 위하여 $\alpha$-amylase와 $\alpha$-glucosidase 활성억제 효과를 측정하였다. 오미자 발효액의 pancreatin $\alpha$-amylase에 대한 저해 효과를 검토한 결과 오미자 발효액 25%의 농도에서 7.4%의 저해효과가 나타났고 오미자 발효원액인 100%에서는 100%의 높은 $\alpha$-amylase 저해효과를 나타냈다. 따라서 오미자 발효액의 $\alpha$-amylase 저해활성은 우수한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 오미자 발효액의 $\alpha$-glucosidase 활성억제를 조사한 결과 30%의 농도에서 15.8%, 60%의 농도에서 49%의 저해활성을 나타냈다. 아질산염 소거능 측정 실험에서는 positive control인 Vit. C 0.1%의 경우 pH 1.2와 3.0에서는 61~76%, pH 6.0에서는 49%의 소거능을 보인 반면 오미자 발효원액(100%)의 경우 pH 1.2와 3.0에서는 72~96%, pH 6.0에서는 68%의 소거능을 나타내었다. 오미자 발효액의 숙취해소 효능은 ADH와 ALDH 활성증진에 오미자 발효액이 미치는 영향을 조사함으로써 증명하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 오미자 발효액은 acetaldehyde 분해능은 없는 반면, 알코올 분해능은 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과들은 오미자 발효액의 우수한 기능성식품으로서의 이용 가능성에 대한 기초자료로 그 가치가 기대된다.

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of roasting temperature on the quality characteristics and biological activity of quinoa. Quinoa was roasted at 160, 200, and 220℃ for 20 min. The lightness (L^*) of quinoa decreased, however, the redness (a^*) increased as the roasting temperature increased. The yellowness (b^*) was the highest at 160℃ and decreased at 200 and 220℃. The highest contents of total polyphenol, flavonoid, and quercetin were observed at 220℃, the highest roasting temperature. The highest radical scavenging activities of 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (73.65%) and α,α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl free radicals (47.82%) were found in roasted quinoa at 220℃. The α-glucosidase activity was inhibited by 62.13% at this temperature. The roasted quinoa at 220℃ also showed a significant cytoprotective effect against oxidative stress in HepG2 cells. These results could be useful in the development of food products using quinoa.

Previously, our research group isolated Bifidobacterium breve IDCC4401 from infant feces as a potential probiotic. For this study, we evaluated the safety of B. breve IDCC4401 using genomic and phenotypic analyses. Whole genome sequencing was performed to identify genomic characteristics and investigate the potential presence of genes encoding virulence, antibiotic resistance, and mobile genetic elements. Phenotypic analyses including antibiotic susceptibility, enzyme activity, production of biogenic amines (BAs), and proportion of D-/L-lactate were evaluated using E-test, API ZYM test, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and D-/L-lactic acid assay respectively. The genome of B. breve IDCC4401 consists of 2,426,499 bp with a GC content of 58.70% and 2,016 coding regions. Confirmation of the genome as B. breve was provided by its 98.93% similarity with B. breve DSM20213. Furthermore, B. breve IDCC4401 genes encoding virulence and antibiotic resistance were not identified. Although B. breve IDCC4401 showed antibiotic resistance against vancomycin, we confirmed that this was an intrinsic feature since the antibiotic resistance gene was not present. B. breve IDCC4401 showed leucine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, α-galactosidase, β-galactosidase, and α-glucosidase activities, whereas it did not show production of harmful enzymes such as β-glucosidase and β-glucuronidase. In addition, B. breve IDCC4401 did not produce any tyramine, histamine, putrescine, cadaverine, or 2-phenethylamine, which are frequently detected BAs during fermentation. B. breve IDCC4401 produced 95.08% of L-lactate and 4.92% of D-lactate. Therefore, our findings demonstrate the safety of B. breve IDCC 4401 as a potential probiotic for use in the food industry.
