기능성 식품과 생약재료의 이용을 위한 연구의 일환으로 한국산 녹차로부터 탄닌을 분리하여 xanthine oxidase 저해효과를 측정하였다. 녹차의 acetone 추출물에서 xanthine oxidase 저해효과가 있음이 확인되었고 정제된 탄닌의 효소 저해효과를 검토한 결과 xanthine oxidase 저해의 경우 galloyl tannin류가 nonga-lloyl tannin류보다 활성이 더 우수하였고 구조적 이성체에서도 (+)-catechin류 보다 (-)-epicatechin류가 효소저해 효과가 더 좋았으며, 각 물질간 상승 효과가 인정되었다. 녹차에서의 탄닌류는 xanthine oxidase에 대해 비경쟁적 저해를 하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Tamoxifen citrate (TAM), is widely used for treatment of breast cancer. It showed a degree of hepatic carcinogenesis. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the antioxidant capacity of green tea (Camellia sinensis) extract (GTE) against TAM-induced liver injury. A model of liver injury in female rats was done by intraperitoneal injection of TAM in a dose of $45\;mg\;Kg^{-1}\;day^{-1}$, i.p. for 7 successive days. GTE in the concentration of 1.5%, was orally administered 4 days prior and 14 days after TAM-intoxication as a sole source of drinking water. The antioxidant flavonoid; epicatechin (a component of green tea) was not detectable in liver and blood of rats in either normal control or TAM-intoxicated group, however, TAM intoxication resulted in a significant decrease of its level in liver homogenate of tamoxifen-intoxicated rats. The model of TAM-intoxication elicited significant declines in the antioxidant enzymes (glutathione-S-transferase,glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase) and reduced glutathione concomitant with significant elevations transaminase) levels. The oral administration of 1.5% GTE to TAM-intoxicated rats, produced significant increments in the antioxidant enzymes and reduced glutathione concomitant with significant decrements in TBARS and liver transaminases levels. The data obtained from this study speculated that 1.5% GTE has the capacity to scavenge free radical and can protect against oxidative stress induced by TAM intoxication. Supplementation of GTE could be useful in alleviating tamoxifen-induced liver injury in rats.

기능성 식품과 생약재로의 이용을 위한 연구의 일환으로 한국산 녹차로부터 탄닌을 분리하여 angiotensin converting enzyme 저해효과를 측정하였다. 녹차의 acetone 추출물에서 angiotensin converting enzyme 저해효과가 있음이 확인되었고 정제된 탄닌의 효소저해효과를 검토한 결과 angiotensin converting enzyme 저해는 galloyl tannin류가 nongalloyl tannin류 보다 활성이 더 우수하였고 구조적 이성체에서도 (+)-catechin류 보다 (-)-epicatechin류가 효소저해효과가 더 좋았으며, 각 물질 간 상승효과가 인정되었다. 녹차에서의 탄닌류는 angiotensin converting enzyme에 대해 비경쟁적 저해를 하는 것을 알 수 있다.

시판되고 있는 녹차잎을 $75^{\circ}C$에서 알칼리 이온수로 10분간 추출하여 녹차를 제조한 뒤, 물리화학적 특성을 분석하였다. 알칼리 이온수로 제조한 녹차의 총 페놀 함량, 총 플라바놀 함량과 아스코르브산 함량은 pH가 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. Hunter 색도 L, a, b값은 pH 증가에 따라 각각 감소, 감소, 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 녹차의 주된 성분인 epicatechin류의 함량은 pH가 증가할수록 감소하였고, 카페인은 유의차를 나타내지 않았다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능도 pH가 증가할수록 감소하였으며, tyrosinase 억제능은 pH 8.85의 알칼리 이온수 녹차에서 가장 높게 측정되었다.

Lily (Lilium davidii) is a high-yielding flowering plant. Besides roses and chrysanthemums, lily bulbs have long been used as food and in oriental medicine. However, the usage and value of cut lily bulbs has not been recognized. A bulb whose yield has been decreased is called a waste bulb, and a large amount of such bulbs is discarded every year. In this study, the functionality of waste bulbs from cut lilies was investigated to explore their potential use as a value-added product. We divided lily bulbs into two groups, one group with six varieties of new bulbs (Medusa, Siberia, Woori Tower, Yelloween, Le Reve, and Morning Star) used for cultivation and the other group with six varieties of waste bulbs (Medusa, Siberia, Woori Tower, Yelloween, Sorbonne, and Sheila). Physiological activities (${\alpha},{\alpha}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl: DPPH) and 3-ethlbenzthiazolne-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging capability and tyrosinase inhibiting activity), the amount of total as well as eight individual phenolic compounds (chlorogenic acid, epicatechin, rutin hydrate, p-coumaric acid, kaempferol 3-O-${\beta}$-rutinoside, phloridzin dihydrate, myricetin, and quercetin), and total flavonoid content were measured in the bulbs by high performance liquid chromatography. We detected high amounts of total phenol and total flavonoid as well as high DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging ability. More tyrosinase inhibiting activity was detected in the new bulbs than in the waste bulbs. However, both the new and waste bulbs showed a higher inhibitory activity than the standard (100 ppm ascorbic acid). Although the content of phenolic compounds differed among varieties, under the conditions of the experiment, the most abundant phenolics were epicatechins, followed by chlorogenic acid, and rutins. Overall, the waste bulbs had a higher content of these compounds than the new bulbs. Based on these results, we concluded that bulbs from cut lilies could be used as functional foods in the future and farmers could expect economic gain from the hitherto neglected waste bulbs.
