This study extracted Artemisia capillaris Thunberg with distilled water and ethanol to investigate its antioxidant effect. We then investigated the possibility of producing nanofibers by an electrospinning process by adding the extracts to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The electrospinning method used a PVA concentration of 12wt.%, an applied voltage of 10kV, and a tip-to-collector distance of 15cm. Total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents were measured to verify the antioxidant activity of Artemisia capillaris Thunberg extracts (ACEs). The total polyphenol content of the distilled water extract and the ethanol extract were measured as 218.47 and 271.26mg/g, respectively, and the total flavonoid content of the distilled water extract and the ethanol extract were measured as 141.68 and 34.98mg/g, respectively. As the content of the ACEs in the PVA nanofibers increased, the Diameters of the nanofibers and the uniformity of the diameters decreased. The electrospinning process was fabricated in a relatively uniform form without beads, and the diameters of the nanofibers that were produced ranged from 340 to 390nm. The results of FT-IR, XRD and DSC analyses confirmed that the ACEs were well mixed with the PVA molecules and were electrospun.

Anthocyanin and polyphenolic compounds present in fruits of mulberry (Morus alba L.) were determined and the influence of temperature and UV irradiation on stability of the anthocyanin-copigment complex were investigated. The copigmentation substance selected in non-anthocyanin fraction from mulberry for the study included: phenolic acid (hydroxybenzoic acid) and flavonoid (quercetin-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside). The copigmentation effect increased with the copigment content. UV irradiation had a stronger degradation effect on the copigmentation complex than heating at $80^{\circ}C$. The non-anthocyanin fraction of mulberry and isolated flavonoid (quercetin-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside) from mulberry fruit predominated over other copigment substances.

Silkworm (Bombyx mori ) feces have long been used in the pharmaceutical and food industries as a natural colorant. However, there is limited data on the bioactive compounds that constitute silkworm feces. This research emphasizes the antioxidant activity of different solvent and flavonoid extracts of silkworm feces. The solvents were ethanol, butanol, and water, while the methods utilized included ultrasonification, stirrer, reflux, and reflux after ultrasonification extraction. Results showed that butanol ultrasonification extraction (BUE) yield the lowest extraction (1.75%), while the other methods yielded 7 to 14%. The total polyphenol content utilizing BUE was 3.3 mg TAE/g, while water ultrasonification extraction (WUE) yielded the highest extraction rate with 51.6 mg TAE/g. The total flavonoid content was significantly higher using ethanol reflux extraction (EUE) at 266.8 mg QRE/g BUE, which was 158.3 and 151.3 mg QRE/g. Both DPPH radical scavenging activity and SOD-like (superoxide dismutase) activity, showed significant antioxidant effects. Finally, all other extracts except for BUE had a-glucosidase inhibition at 60%. Therefore, an effective extraction method for physiologically active substances must be selected.

The deer antler has been used as a major drug in oriental medicine for a long time. Recently, the demand for easy-to-take health functional foods is increasing due to economic development and changes in diet. As part of research on the development of functional materials for antlers, lactic acid fermentation of antler extract was performed. It was intended to develop a functional material with enhanced total polyphenol and flavonoid content and enhanced antioxidant activity. Lactic acid bacteria fermentation was performed by adding 4 types of lactic acid bacteria starter products, B. longum, Lb. Plantarum, Lb. acidophilus and mixture of 8 types of lactic acid bacteria to the antler water extract substrate, respectively. During the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria, the number of proliferation, total polyphenol and total flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging and antioxidant activity were quantified and evaluated. As a result of adding these four types of lactic acid bacteria to the antler water extract substrate, the number of lactic acid bacteria measured was 2.04~5.00×107. Meanwhile, a protease (Baciullus amyloliquefaciens culture: Maxazyme NNP DS) was added to the antler extract to decompose the peptide bonds of the contained proteins. Then, these four types of lactic acid bacteria were added and the number of lactic acid bacteria increased to 2.84×107 ~ 2.21×108 as the result of culture. The total polyphenol contents were 4.82~6.26 ㎍/mL in the lactic acid bacteria fermentation extracts, and after the reaction of protease enzyme and lactic fermentation, increased to 14.27~20.58 ㎍/mL. The total flavonoid contents were 1.52~2.21 ㎍/ml in the lactic acid bacteria fermentation extracts, and after the protease reaction and fermentation, increased to 5.59 ~ 8.11 mg/mL. DPPH radical scavenging activities of lactic acid bacteria fermentation extracts was 17.03~22.75%, but after the protease reaction and fermentation, remarkably increased to 32.82~42.90%.
