The EtOAc soluble fraction from the stem of Sorghum bicolor showed a strong free radical scavenging activity. Five major compounds were isolated from this fraction. They were identified by spectral data as methyl ferulate (1), methyl p-hydroxycinnamate (2), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (3), tricin (4), and quercetin 3,4 -dimethyl ether (5). Among these compounds, 1 exhibited a strong, free radical scavenging activity on 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) with an $IC_50$ value of 0.7 $\mu$M. We further studied the effects of these isolated compounds on the lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes induced by non-enzymatic method. All five compounds showed anti-lipid peroxidation activity ($IC_50$ values of 0.5, 0.4, 0.3 and 0.3 $\mu$ M, respectively).

본 시험은 육계에 마늘 부산물을 급여하여 5주간 사육한 계육의 TBARS, WHC, 전단력, pH, 총페놀함량, 전자공여능, 육색, 관능검사 및 지방산조성을 조사하였다. 실험구는 마늘 부산물을 첨가 급여하지 않은 처리구를 대조구, 마늘 부산물 1% 급여구는 T1, 마늘 부산물 2% 급여구는 T2 그리고 마늘 부산물 5% 급여구는 T3 등 4개 처리구로 나누어 사양하였다. 계육의 TBARS, pH는 마늘 부산물 급여구에서 대조구보다 유의적으로 낮았고, 급여량이 증가할수록 더욱 낮아지는 결과를 보임으로 마늘 부산물의 급여는 계육의 저장성 개선에 도움이 되리라 생각된다. 보수성은 대조구보다 T2와 T3에서 높았다(p<0.05). 총 페놀함량과 전자공여능은 대조구보다 마늘 급여구에서 높아졌으며 마늘 부산물 급여량이 증가함에 따라 특히 T3에서 함량이 다소 증가하였다. 육색 중 적색도를 나타내는 CIE $a^*$값은 대조구보다 마늘 급여구에서 높았고, 마늘급여량에 의한 처리구간의 유의적인 변화 없이 마늘 부산물 1% 급여구부터 적색도를 높이는 결과이었고(p<0.05), CIE $L^*$값과 CIE $b^*$값은 처리구간에 유의성이 없었다. 지방산 조성 중 linoleic acid와 linolenic acid는 마늘 부산물 급여구에서 증가하였으나 palmitic acid는 감소하였다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 마늘 부산물의 급여는 pH와 TBARS가 낮아지고, 총페놀함량이 높아지고 전자공여능이 향상됨으로 계육의 저장성 개선에 도움이 되리라 생각된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the anti-oxidant effect of Wasabia japonica(WJ). The anti-oxidant activities of various extracts from WJ were investigated. The water and ethanol extracts of WJ leaf were found to cause significant free radical scavenging effects on DPPH and nitric oxide(NO). Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly assigned to one normal diet and three high cholesterol diet groups which contained 1%(w/w) cholesterol. After 4weeks cholesterol diet, the groups of high cholesterol diet were classified to control(normal diet only), WJR5(normal diet and 5% WJ root) and WJL5(normal diet and 5% WJ leaf). Liver xanthine oxidase(XO) activity in the rats of high cholesterol diet was decreased up to the levels of normal diet group according to WJ diet. The results indicated that WJ possesses antioxidant effects through free radical scavenging effects on DPPH, NO and the decreasing of XO activity. In view of these results, WJ is expected to be an effective material for the anti-oxidant.

식용 및 약용으로 예로부터 널리 이용하는 양송이버섯 추출물의 생리적 기능에 대한 활성을 탐색하기 위하여 양송이 버섯(Agaricus bisporus)의 에탄올 추출물의 항산화 효과와 Ames test를 통한 돌연변이 유발 억제능을 탐색하였다. 지질과산화물에 대한 단백질 보호효과를 알아본 결과, 양송이 버섯 에탄올 추출물은 MDA와 BSA의 교차결합 형성을 100mg/assay이었을 때 72.21% 저해하였다. $Fe^{2+}$에 의해 유도된 지질의 과산화에 대한 저해율은 2.0 mg/assay일 때 24.96% 였으며, DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성을 측정한 결과 1.0 mg/assay일 때 52.75%의 저해율을 보였으며 처리농도가 증가할수록 저해율은 증가하였다. $IC_{50}$ 값으로 항산화능의 상대적 비교를 하였을 때 양송이버섯 추출물은 DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성이 가장 강하였으며, 그 다음은 지질과산화 억제능이었고 MDA와 BSA의 교차결합 억제능이 가장 낮았다. Ames test를 이용하여 돌연변이 유발 억제능을 알아본 결과, 양송이버섯 에탄올 추출물은 Salmonella Typhimurium TA98 및 TA100 두 균주에서 직접작용 돌연변이능을 각각 100% 저해하여 매우 효과적이었다. 간접작용 돌연변이능 저해효과는 Salmonella Typhimurium TA98에서 86.09%, Salmonella Typhimurium TA100에서는 81.93%로 나타나 양송이버섯 에탄올 추출물은 직접, 간접작용 돌연변이능에 대한 저해효과가 우수하다고 사료된다. 본 연구 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 양송이버섯은 항산화성과 항돌연변이성이 우수하므로 기능성식품으로 개발할 수 있는 가능성이 있다고 본다.

The proximate composition, free amino acid composition and mineral contents from Undariopsis peterseniana were determined, and the antioxidant activities of ethanol (EtOH) and hot water extracts of U. peterseniana were investigated using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2'- azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)) radical scavenging effects and reducing power. The contents of moisture, ash, protein, lipid and carbohydrate were 12.5%, 23.1%, 9.7%, 0.2% and 54.5%, respectively, and alginic acid content was 12.3%. The major free amino acid contents were alanine, phenylalanine, aminoethanol, valine, glutamic acid and phosphoserine. Ca (1589.1 mg) was the largest mineral followed by Na (344.6 mg), Mg (74.3 mg), Zn (10.2 mg) and Fe (1.5 mg). The total phenolic contents of EtOH and hot water extracts were exhibited at 15.7 and 4.3 mg GAE/g sample, respectively. The antioxidant activity of EtOH extract exhibited strong ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities with reducing power, and hot water extract also demonstrated strong ABTS radical scavenging effects. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that U. peterseniana contained an abundance of naturally occurring nutrients (free amino acids and minerals), and the strong antioxidant activities of EtOH and hot water extracts from U. peterseniana could be good sources of natural antioxidants for healthcare products.
