  • The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of the feeding physiological activity substance in feral peach(Prunus Persica Batsch var. davidiana Max.) extract intake on the improvement of the lipid compositions, apolipoprotein and blood pressure level in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR, Wistar strain, male) fed the experimental diets for 33 days. Concentrations of total cholesterol, triglyceride(TG), LDL-cholesterol, free cholesterol and atherosclerotic index in serum were significantly lower in the feral peach extract intake groups[groups 5g% Ex.(basal diet+feral peach 5.0g% extract), 10g% Ex.(basal diet+feral peach 10.0g% extract)] than those in the group Control(basal diet+water). In the ratio of HDL-cholesterol concentration to total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol concentration, feral peach 5.0g%, 10.0g% extract intake groups(group 5g% Ex. and 10g% Ex.) were higher percentage than in the group Control. However, concentrations of total cholesterol and TC in liver and brain were significantly lower in the groups 5g% Ex. and 10g% Ex. than those in the group Control. But the concentrations of apolipoprotein (Apo) A-I and Apo A-II in serum were significantly higher in the feral peach 5.0g% and 10.0g% extract intake groups(5g% Ex. and 10g% Ex.) than in the control group. However, concentrations of Apo C-II, Apo C-III, Apo E and ratio of Apo B to Apo A-I in serum were fairly reduced in the groups 5g% Ex. and 10g% Ex. than in the control group. The levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly lower in feral peach 5g% Ex. and 10g% Ex. groups than control group. However, no significance was found in the effect of among the groups(groups 5g% Ex. and 10g% Ex.). From these results, physiological activity substance in feral peach(Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Max.) extracts were effective on the improvement of the lipid compositions and cardiovascular heart disease, hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats. And particularly, feral peach extracts were more effective as a therapeutic regimen for the control of blood pressure in hypertension.

  • Amino acid and fatty acid compositions of the physiological activity substance in the seed and pulpy substance of feral peach (Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Max.) were analyzed for the use as an biohealth functional processed products. The proximate compositions in the vacuum freeze dried seed and pulpy substance of feral peach were carbohydrate 63.92% and 75.11%, crude protein 27.85% and 12.77%, moisture 3.61% and 4.69%, crude fat 1.21% and 4.80%, crude ash 3.41% and 2.63%, respectively. Total amino acid contents in the protein of feral peach seed were 3,444.35 mg%, and the major amino acids were aspartic acid(681.10 mg%), glutamic acid(495.48 mg%), alanine(283.66 mg%), serine(251.36 mg%), proline(229.80 mg%), lysine(192.31 mg%) and leucine(191.34 mg%), respectively. Total amino acid contents in the protein of feral peach pulpy substance were 1,064.02 mg%, and the major amino acids followed aspartic acid(250.15 mg%), glutamic acid(129. 63 mg%), lysine, proline, leucine, alanine and serine, in a decreasing order. The richest total amino acid content contained in feral peach seed and pulpy substance was aspartic acid, followed by glutamic acid. The amount of free amino acids of feral peach seed were 6,215.34 ms%, and the major free amino acids were glutamic acid(827.25 mg%), threonine, valine and $\beta-aminobutyric$ acid, respectively. Free amino acid contents of pulpy substance were 683.82 mg%, and the major free amino acids were glutamic acid(339.49 mg%), serine proline, alanine and $\gamma-amino-n-butyric$ acid. Especially, in the case of glutamic acid, it was highest. The compositions of major total fatty acid in the lipid feral peach (Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Max.) seed and pulpy sabstance were linoleic acid($C_{18:2}$, n-6) and linolenic acid($C_{18:3}$, n-3), particularly.

  • In this study, we investigated the antibacterial, antioxidant, and whitening effects of Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Max. (Feral Peach) and Prunus mume (white and pink) flowers. The extracts of the three kinds of flowers showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus. aureus. The chloroform fractions of the white Prunus mume, Feral Peach, and pink Prunus mume flowers exhibited antibacterial activities of 84, 49, and 30%, respectively, against Staphylococcus. aureus at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. The flower extracts of the three species also exhibited antibacterial effects against Pseudomonas. aeruginosa. The chloroform fractions of the Feral Peach and pink Prunus meme flowers exhibited antibacterial activities of 36 and 30%, respectively, at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. These extracts did not exhibit any significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus. epidermidis and Escherichia. coli. The extracts of the three kinds of flowers did not significantly affect the survival of HaCaT cells. The distilled water fraction of the pink Prunus mume flower extract exhibited antioxidant effects at concentrations of both 20 and 40 ㎍/mL. The ethyl acetate fraction of the pink Prunus mume flower extract exhibited an antioxidant activity superior to glutathione at a concentration of 40 ㎍/mL. The flower extracts did not significantly affect the survival rate of B16F10 cells. The chloroform fraction of the Feral Peach flower exhibited a whitening effect of 18% at a concentration of 40 ㎍/mL. Based on these results, we conclude that the three kinds of flower extracts are raw materials exhibiting antibacterial, antioxidant, and whitening effects.

  • This study was designed to evaluate the effects of feral peach (Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Max.) sugar extracts (peach extracts) and Gomchwi (Ligularia fischeri) extracts on physicochemical properties of Woorimatdag 1breast marinated with red pepper sauce during cold storage for 18 days. Experimental groups were divided into five groups; CON: marinated breast with basic red pepper sauce, GP15 and GP30: added with 15% and 30% of peach extracts into CON, respectively, GG5 and GG10: added with 5% and 10% of Gomchwi extracts into CON, respectively. Moisture and fat contents of GP30 were lower than those of CON, GG5, and GG10 (P<0.05). Cholesterol content of GP15 was similar to that of CON, while it was lower than the other treatments. GP15 and GP30 showed significantly lower pH than the others. Especially, GP30 showed significantly lower total aerobic bacteria count than other treatment on day 10. During storage, peach and Gomchwi extracts were not significantly effect on meat shear force. Overall acceptability of GP15 was higher than that of GG10 at day 10 and 15 (P<0.05). These results indicated that the treatment of peach extracts has a tendency to improve the storage stability maintaining the sensory preference of marinated Woorimatdag 1 breast compared to Gomchwi extracts. Further study would be needed to identify the specific flavor-enhancing factors of GP treatments.
