Imidazoline compounds have been developed in many industrial fields(eg. cosmetic, etc.). These materials can be used in almost all pH ranges and recently its use is successively increased because of nonirritative property. Since the concern of safety has enlarged at industrial application, naturally the use of amphoteric surfactants with new special properties has more. We report general properties of chemical structures of imidazoline surfactants effect.

우리는 지금 경제적, 사회적, 기술적으로 매우 중대한 전화기에 처해 있다. 세계적으로는 기술보호주의와 국제적인 물질특허의 장벽을 넘어야함과 동시에 국내적으로는 건강한 삶, 깨끗한 환경, 풍요로운 사회건설을 통한 복짓회의 구현이 강력하게 요망되고 있기 때문이다. 이와같은 당면과제를 슬기롭게 극복하고 다가오는 21세기의 과학기술 선진국으로 진입하기 위하여는 여러가지 연구부문을 생각할 수 있겠지만, 특히 미생물 내지는 천연물로부터 다양한 대사기능을 갖는 새로운 생리활성 선도물질(lead moldecule)의 탐색연구가 매우 중요하리라 생각된다. 이는 국제적인 물질특허제도 등의 기술보호주의 장벽을 넘을 수 있음과 동시에 부가가치가 높고 세계시장을 확보할 수 있는 거대시장이 기다리고 있기 때문이다. 따라서 현재 정부정책 연구사업으로 추진하고 있는 G7 신기능 생물소재 연구 중 생리활성 선도물질 탐색기술 개발연구가 중과제로 선택된 것은 아주 시기적절한 결정이었다고 할 수 있다.

Antithrombosis and antioxidant activity of the methanol extracts, which were prepared from 51 different brands of rice, were evaluated to investigate bioactive-substances. Among them, the extract of sample No. 2, 25, 40 and 41 showed strong thrombin inhibition activities ($401\~764\%$ inhibition at 5 mg/mL), and the extract of sample No. 5, 9, 23, 36, 44 and 48 showed strong DPPH scavenging activities ($40.8\~64.1\%$ at 0.4 mg/mL), respectively. The average contents of total flavonoid and polyphenol with 50 brands of rice were 51.89 mg/kg and 195.23 mg/kg, respectively. However, the activities were not linked with the contents of flavonoid and polyphenol. By the treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ for 10 min, the activities of the selected rices were severely decreased. Maximal remaining activities of antithrombosis and antioxidant were $208\%$ of No. 40 and $23.2\%$ of No. 48, respectively. These results support a functional superiority of rice-based livelihood, and suggest that the development of healthy food using functional ingredients of rice is possible.

This study aimed to investigate the various biological activities of Geranium thunbergii such as antimicrobial activity and protective effect against oxidative damage. To evaluate its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, we first performed methanol extraction; this methanol extract was further partitioned using various solvents. And then, its antioxidant activity was measured using various assays including total phenolic content and protection against oxidative DNA damage, and antimicrobial activities were examined using minimum inhibiting concentration (MIC) test, and paper disc method. In addition, high-performance liquid chromatography was performed to analyze the major chemical components of ethyl acetate fraction. The G. thunbergii fraction with ethyl acetate exhibited higher antioxidant and antimicrobial activities than the other fractions. The results showed that G. thunbergii ethyl acetate fraction at $50{\mu}g/mL$ had strong DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities of 80.88% and 80.12%, respectively. In addition, the ethyl acetate fraction protected DNA from the oxidative damage induced by ferrous ion and hydroxyl radicals and showed high antimicrobial activity with diameter of inhibition zones ranging from 13.33 to 15.67 mm. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed the major phenolic compounds of G. thunbergii to be ellagic acid and gallic acid. These results suggest that G. thunbergii might protect DNA against oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species and can be utilized as a natural source of antioxidant and antimicrobial agent in the food industry.

This review showed a discussion on the biofunctional activities of citrus flavonoids. The major flavonoids of citrus species, hesperidin, hesperetin, naringin, and naringenin, were selected to evaluate their biological effects on the lipid metabolism in rats and hamsters, the proliferation of human hepatocyte HepG2 cells, and the antioxidative effect in lipid peroxidation models. These flavonoids showed hypotriglyceridemic effect in hamsters and hypochloesterolemic effect in rats. They also significantly inhibited the activities of phosphatidate phophohydrolase and acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase, which are key enzymes for biosynthesis of triglyceride and cholesterol, repectively, in vivo and in vitro experiments. These biofunctional activities by citrus flavonoids were shown more potent in the aglycone flavonoids, hespreretin and naringenin, than their corresponding glycoside flavonoids, hesperidin and naringin. These aglycone flavonoids also have inhibitory effects on proliferation of human hepatocyte cancer HepG2 cells. Hesperidin showed lowering activities of cellular triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations in HepG2 cells. Citrus flavonoids have significant importance in functional food industry as biofunctional active ingredients.

To develop high value added healthy functional resource from Korean mulberry, the bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities of three different mulberry cultivars were investigated and compared with blueberry and strawberry. Total phenolics, total flavonoids, and trans-resveratrol of 'Daesungppong' were the highest than the 'Suwonppong', whereas those of the strawberries were the lowest. In case of total anthocyanins, 'Daesungppong' was also the highest and followed by blueberry. The antioxidant activities of 'Daesungppong' using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid), and FRAP (Ferric reducing antioxidant power) assays were the highest followed by 'Suwonppong'. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in the antioxidant activities between 'Cheongilppong' and blueberry, and the activities of strawberry were the lowest. Furthermore, there was a strong correlation (r = 0.764-0.897) between DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays with the bioactive compounds such as total phenolics, total flavonoids, and total anthocyanins. Therefore, Korean mulberry, especially 'Daesungppong' demonstrated interesting biological properties that suggest its use as a potential source and high value added of natural antioxidant compounds and antioxidant activity.

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical and functional properties of Gochujang in the presence of fermented tomato products. To accomplish this aim, tomatoes were fermented using Bacillus subtilis SRCM100333, and the products were used with Gochujang. As a control, non-fermented tomato liquid was used with Gochujang. There were no significant differences in quality characteristics except for amino nitrogen in Gochujang. The functional properties of tomato liquid (TL), fermented tomato product (FTP), Gochujang made with tomato liquid (TLG), and Gochujang made with fermented tomato products (FTG) were investigated. There were significant differences in the pancreatic lipase inhibition (PLI) and superoxide scavenging activity between FTP (87% and 28%, respectively) and TL (77% and 14%, respectively). Nitric oxide scavenging activity of FTG (52%) was higher than that of other groups (TL, FTP, and TLG). Overall, the results indicate that the fermented tomato can be used to develop functional Gochujang.

This study was conducted to examine the physiological activities of Lespedeza cundata extracts. The extraction yield of 50% ethanol extract (17.60%) was higher than that of hot water extract (12.60%). The total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of the 50% ethanol extract were 242.26 mg/g and 160.73 mg/g, respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of the hot water and 50% ethanol extracts were 92.07% and 96.38%, respectively. The superoxide radical scavenging activities of hot water and 50% ethanol extracts on $250{\sim}1,000{\mu}g/mL$ were 54.89~85.68% and 44.50~94.46%, respectively. The tyrosinase inhibition activity of the 50% ethanol extract at $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ (63.31%) was the highest. The nitrite scavenging activity of the 50% ethanol extract was higher than that of the hot water extract. The nitric oxide production of 50% ethanol extract ($7.15{\sim}20.61{\mu}M$) improved with an increase in the treatment concentration. The hot water and 50% ethanol extracts at $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ inhibited the proliferation of the cancer cell lines A549, HeLa, Hep3B, and Sarcoma180. There results suggest that the 50% ethanol Lespedeza cuneata extracts may be useful as a functional food material in the food industry.
