This study was undertaken in order to compare reflux extraction(RE) and microwave-assisted extraction(MAE) in extraction efficiency and establish optimum microwave extraction conditions in obtaining Ligularia fischeri extracts. A considerable reduction in extraction time was accomplished by MAE. When 70% methanol 50% methanol 70% ethanol, or 50% ethanol was used, MAE extract contained equal levels of soluble solid and total polyphenol as obtained by RE. The optimum microwave-assisted extraction conditions for Ligularia fischeri were achieved by 120∼150 watts of microwave energy and 4∼8 minutes of extraction time. No significant changes were found in antioxidant activity with DPPH scavenging method over the variation of microwave energy or extraction time. The use of diluted methanol or ethanol improved soluble solid content(30%), total polyphenol content(2.7%) and antioxidant activity(68%).

This study was conducted to examine the antioxidant activities and physiological activities of mixture extracts (Liriope platyphylla, Schizandra chinensis and Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) with different extraction mixing ratios (MEC, 2:1:1; ME1, 1:2:1; ME2, 1:1:2; ME3, 1.34:1.33:1.33). The yield of extracts ranged from 25.33 to 33.87%. The total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents of ME1 extracts were 1.01 g/100 g, 0.07 g/100 g, respectively. The total sugar contents of MEC extract was 22.83 g/100 g, respectively. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities of ME1 extracts at $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ were 26.79% and 21.08%. The superoxide radical scavenging and ferric-reducing antioxidant power of ME1 extracts at $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ were 67.83% and $295.47{\mu}M$, respectively. The functionalities of extracts were investigated with L-132 and RAW264.7 cell lines. The extracts on different mixing ratios did not show the toxicity on L-132 and RAW264.7 cell line in $100-2,500{\mu}g/mL$. The ME1 extract of $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ performed better than other extracts protective effects against oxidative stess in L-132 cells (81.22%) and the ME2 extract at $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ decreased nitric oxide production by $7.48{\mu}M$ which was more potent than other extracts. There results suggest that the ME1 extracts may be a useful functional food material in the food industry.

Objectives: This study is to confirm the effect of combined extract and individual extract of Samjunghwan (SJH) in anti-oxidative and anti-obesity effect. Methods: Combined ethanol extract of readily made SJH and individual ethanol extract of Atractylodes japonica, Cortex lycii radicis, and Morus alba Linne was combined after the extraction. To evaluate the anti-oxidative effect of SJH, total phenol compound and 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging ability were conducted. Real-time quantitative-polymerase chain reaction analysis of transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptror ${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$), adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-${\alpha}1$, tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ ($TNF{\alpha}$) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reducatase (HMG-CoA reductase) were done with 3T3-L1 cells to investigate the ant-obesity effect. Also, cell viability analysis were done to see to toxicity of SJH. Results: Individual extract of SJH showed significant decrease in $TNF{\alpha}$ and AMPK transcription while $PPAR{\gamma}$ showed significant increase. Combined extract and individual extract of SJH both showed decrease in HMG-CoA reductase. DPPH free radical scavenging ability and total phenol compound was analogous between two groups. Conclusions: Individual extract of SJH appears to be more effective in anti-oxidation and anti-obesity effect compared to combined extract of SJH.

바이오디젤의 국가별 의무 사용 정책 확대로 인해 원료유 가격이 상승하고 있으며 원료유가 부족한 상황으로 다양한 원료를 찾는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 육상 유지 작물보다 단위면적당 생산성이 매우 높은 미세조류는 제3세대 바이오매스로 주목받고 있으며 산업체 배출 이산화탄소를 이용해 작은 면적에서 배양할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 미세조류로부터 바이오디젤 생산은 먼저 오일 함량이 높은 미세조류 종의 선정과 배양 및 수확 후 효율적인 방법으로 바이오디젤 원료유를 추출하는 과정이 중요하다. 본 연구는 Microwave로 전처리된 미세조류로 부터 원료유를 추출하여, 인지질, 단백질, 엽록소 등의 반응저해 물질을 일부 감소시키고 추출수율을 높였지만, 산가가 80이상으로 높게 추출되고 추출된 오일이 높은 점성을 가지는 문제가 있다. 이로 인해 전이에스테르화 반응의 진행이 불가하였으며 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 에스테르화 반응에 용매를 혼합하여 반응성을 개선하고자 하였다. 추가된 보조 용매는 오일과 쉽게 혼합되어 반응물의 점성을 낮추고, 반응 완료후, 물에 쉽게 용해되는 불순물, 미 반응물, 촉매 등의 분리 및 제거를 용이하게 하는 장점이 있다. 또한 오일과 비교하여 낮은 끓는점을 갖는 용매는 증류를 통해 쉽게 제거가 가능하다. 반응이 완료된 오일은 초기산가 80에서 10이하의 감소를 나타내 용매 혼합 에스테르화의 효율적인 부분을 확인하였다.

선형혼합분광분석(LSU, Linear Spectral Unmixing) 모델은 위성 영상의 한 화소 값이 공간 내에 포함된 다양한 지표 대상물의 반사에너지가 혼합된 결과로 나타난다는 가정을 통해 화소이하(Sub-Pixel) 단위의 영상 분석을 수행하는 알고리즘의 한 형태이다. 분석의 결과는 한 화소에 존재하는 순수 대상물(Endmember)의 비율로 나타나며, 최소제곱법을 이용하여 결과를 도출하는 것이 일반적인 방법으로 알려져 있다. 하지만, 최소제곱법을 이용한 선형혼합분광분석모델은 기본적인 가정을 만족시키지 못하며, Endmember를 사용자가 임의로 지정해야 하기 때문에 영상 분석에 많은 어려움이 있다. 이런 단점을 극복하기 위해 무감독으로 추출된 Endmember를 이용한 제약선형분광혼합분석(Constrained Linear Spectral Unmixing) 모델을 본 연구를 통해 제안하고자 한다. 결과를 통해, 무감독 제약선형분광혼합분석 모델은 선형분광혼합분석 모델에 비해 각각의 Endmember에 대하여 제약조건을 만족하는 점유비율(Abundance) 정보를 제공하였으나, 비슷한 Endmember를 중복 추출할 수 있는 가능성도 지니고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Acerola is an excellent ingredient because of its high natural vitamin C content, but it is difficult to stabilize and has hardly been studied as a cosmetic material. Therefore, this study developed a mixed liposome preparation for stabilizing acerola extract. As a safety test, the skin irritation test was evaluated by BCOP assay and HET-CAM assay. We evaluated the inhibition of tyrosinase activity, the whitening effect of melanin production, and the wrinkle effect of prochloragentype-I C-peptide production, and confirmed the possibility of functional cosmetics. In addition, a cream of liposomes containing acerola extract mixture was developed to evaluate the clinical studies of skin wrinkles and whitening. BCOP assay, HET-CAM assay and human skin primary irritation test results of liposomes containing acerola extract mixture showed no irritation and were safe from skin and eye. The result of tyrosinase activity by 75.8% at 1,000 ㎍/mL. As a result of the melanogenesis inhibition test, liposome with acerola extract showed the melanin content by 46.2% at 1,000 ㎍/mL that does not effect the viability of the B16F10 cell line. The result of collagen production test using ELISA kit, liposomes containing acerola extract mixture showed collagen synthesis ability by 152.1% at 1,000 ㎍/mL that does not affect the viability of the HS68 cell line. But it did not showed any inhibition of collagenase (MMP-1) activity at all concentrations in the MMP-1 activity inhibition test in the HS68 cell line.

Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, and sword bean (Canavalia gladiata, SB) reportedly possesses various biological activities. Therefore, in this study, to reduce caffeine intake and improve coffee function, SB was selected as a supplementary material for blending coffee. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of coffee with the SB extract at concentrations of 0.1-0.5% (v/v) were evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and RAW 264.7 cells, respectively. The DPPH radical-scavenging activity of SB-treated coffee depended on the concentration of the SB extract. In the cell culture experiment, cytotoxicity was not observed at any SB concentration. In addition, the inducible nitric oxide synthesis protein expression as well as the increases in nitric oxide and interleukin-6 expression were effectively inhibited by SB addition to the coffee. These results indicate that SB might be useful as a supplementary ingredient to enhance the caffeinated drink functions.

Chemical methods using browning inhibitors have been used to control the browning of chopped garlic. However, consumer demand for natural products is increasing, and we therefore investigated the antibrowning effect of natural licorice root extract on chopped garlic. We used a combination of licorice extract and citric acid. Chopped garlic was exposed to citric acid and licorice extract at various levels and L values were measured during storage at $10^{\circ}C$. Licorice extract was effective as an initial antibrowning, and a mixture of licorice extract and citric acid was effective in inhibition of browning during storage. The effective mixing ratio of licorice extract and citric acid was 5:5 and 2:8. This indicates that licorice extract and citric acid synergistically act to inhibit browning of chopped garlic. Licorice extracts with higher levels of glycyrrhizin were more effective as antibrowning agents for chopped garlic.
