Dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline(DPPC), Polyphenol Derivatives, and Hematoxylin-Eosin were directly sonicated in acidic condition for 6 minutes to give clear stock solutions. Absorbtion properties of Polyphenol Derivatives in lecithin vesicle of Diphalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline system at $25^{\circ}C$ have been studied by absorbtion spectroscopy. The equilibrium of Polyphenol Derivatives between monomer and dimer in lecithin vesicles have been existed at low concentration of Polyphenol Derivatives, but oligomer has been formed in vesicle at high concentration of lecithin vesicles. By adding Bacteriorhodopsin(BR) to constant concentration of Polyphenol Derivatives decreased the absorbtion ratio(${\alpha}/{\beta}$) of Polyphenol Derivatives was increased during phase transition of dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline. In the presence of column eluted lamella vesicle and mixture of uni- and multilamella aggregates. The differences of rate between column eluted- and mixture were observed, therefore column eluted lamella reaction was represented more catalytic effect. The phase transition temperature of hydrolysis on Dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline and Polyphenol Derivatives were measured higher than it of Dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline and no Polyphenol Derivatives.

Eleven polyphenolic compounds, including procatechuic and chlorogenic acids, (+)-dihydroquercetin, rutin, isoquercitrin, quercitrin, (+)-dihydrokaempferol, trans-resveratrol, moracin, quercetin and 4-prenylmoracin were isolated and purified from the methanolic extract of defatted mulberry seed residue by a series of column chromatography including silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and ODS-A, and their chemical structures were identified by spectral analysis. The antioxidant activities of the eleven isolated polyphenolic compounds were measured spectrophotometrically using DPPH radical. Among the eleven polyphenolic compounds tested, rutin ($IC_{50}=20.2\;{\mu}M$), isoquercitrin ($IC_{50}=22.5\;{\mu}M$), quercitrin ($IC_{50}=24.6\;{\mu}M$), quercetin ($IC_{50}=27.8\;{\mu}M$), (+)-dihydroquercetin ($IC_{50}=28.9\;{\mu}M$), and chlorogenic acid ($IC_{50}=30.6\;{\mu}M$) exhibited stronger antioxidant activity than L-ascorbic acid ($IC_{50}=31.5\;{\mu}M$) and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol ($IC_{50}=52.3\;{\mu}M$), whereas procatechuic acid ($IC_{50}=68.2\;{\mu}M$) showed lower activity. In addition, (+)-dihydrokaempferol ($IC_{50}=33.8\;{\mu}M$), trans-resveratrol ($IC_{50}=36.2\;{\mu}M$), moracin ($IC_{50}=47.6\;{\mu}M$), and 4-prenylmoracin ($IC_{50}=48.2\;{\mu}M$) exhibited moderate antioxidant activity. Furthermore, levels of the eleven polyphenolic compounds from three different types of mulberry seeds were quantified by HPLC, and their contents were as follows: rutin (311~60.0 mg/100 g)> quercitrin (7.2~34.2 mg/100 g)> (+)-dihydroquercetin (13.2~33.1 mg/100 g)> quercetin (15.8~19.5 mg/100 g)> 4-prenylmoracin (10.5~43.3 mg/100 g)> isoquercitrin (5.8~15.4 mg/100 g)> chlorogenic acid (0.0~15.3 mg/100 g)> moracin (4.7~7.2 mg/100 g)> procatechuic acid (0.0~11.6 mg/100 g)> (+)-dihydrokaempferol and trans-resveratrol (<0.1 mg/100 g). The 'Daesungppong' mulberry seeds among the three cultivars had higher flavonoid contents, such as rutin and quercetin derivatives, while the 'Iksuppong' seeds had the highest contents of phenolic acids and moracin derivatives. 'Cheongilppong' had lower amounts of polyphenolic compounds than the other two mulberry seeds. These results indicate that mulberry seeds containing antioxidant polyphenolic compounds may be potentially useful sources of anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, and anti-aging agents for functional foods and cosmetics.

The antioxidative activities of beverages with water or ethanol extracts from Maegmundong (Liriope platyphylla) were investigated with free amino acid and mineral analysis, as well as saponin, total phenolics and flavonoid determination. Antioxidative activity was evaluated by electron donating ability and ABTS radical scavenging activity. There was only a small difference between water extract beverages and ethanol-extract beverages with respect to their electron donating ability and ABTS radical scavenging activity, although the total saponin, total phenolics and flavonoid were found to be greater in the ethanol extract beverages than in the water extract beverages. Three major free amino acids of the Magemundong beverages with water- or ethanol extract were asparagine (58.30, 60.68 mg%), methionine (15.10, 13.95 mg%, respectively) and proline (12.31, 14.00 mg%, respectively). The most abundant mineral in the Maegmundong beverage with water and ethanol extract was potassium (238.68, 244.32 mg%, respectively).

This review investigated the types of physiologically active substances isolated and extracted from Pinus densiflora and koraiensis native to Republic of Korea, and the current status of research on their effectiveness and industrial use. They contain various bioactive substances including essential oils, polyphenols, resins, and stilbene derivatives. In recent, physiological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, cataract prevention, and neuroprotection from extracts of Pinus densiflora and koraiensis have been identified by domestic researchers. The extracts have been used in different industrial fields like food, health functional foods, cosmetics, and household goods, but the high proportion of them is industrially made from exotic species. Therefore, various studies on industrial applicability are needed due to the lack of cases in which the activity is applied to actual products, with respect to the effects that have been scientifically recognized.

Free amino acid and mineral analysis of beverages with Gugija (Lycii fructus) extracts performed to determine the antioxidative and anti-diabetes activities of the beverages. The four major free amino acids in the water- or ethanol-extracts of the Gugija beverages were asparagine (115.23, 51.95 mg%), methionine (20.02, 22.07 mg%), aspartic acid (19.65, 13.72 mg%) and taurine (18.64, 22.44 mg%). The mineral contents of the Gugija beverages with water- and ethanol-extracts were in the order K>Mg>Na>Ca>Zn>Fe. Antioxidant activity determined by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity. There was no significant difference in DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities between the water-extract beverages and the ethanol-extract beverages, although more phenolics and flavonoids were found in the ethanol-extract beverage. Higher anti-${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity was observed in the ethanol-extract beverage compared to acabose, which was used as the control and is an inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, suggesting that the Gugija beverage with ethanol extract could be a potential hypoglycemic agent.
