Black raspberry was fermented with or without seeds. Chemical characteristics were analyzed during wine fermentation. pH of black raspberry wine decreased in the early stage of the fermentation and thereafter increased. Total acidity increased until the 4th day of fermentation with little change afterwards. Both pH and acidity were not affected by the blending of the seeds. Sugar concentration decreased and alcohol concentration increased during the fermentation, and they were not influenced by the blending of the seeds. $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ values of black raspberry wines tended to increase until the 12th day of the fermentation and decreased or little changed thereafter. $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ values of black raspberry wines made from the fruits with seeds (BRSW) were lower than those of black raspberry wines without seeds (BRW) with no significance. Monomeric anthocyanin (MA) and polyphenol contents (PC) decreased during fermentation. MA was not significantly influenced by the blending of the seeds. PC in BRSW were higher than those in BRW with no significance. Alcohols were the major volatile components, and there were no differences between alcohol compositions in the two wines. There were also no differences in color, flavor, taste and overall acceptability in sensory characteristics. Similarity in the chemical characteristics between the BRSW and BRW suggests that development of black raspberry wine with seeds blended is possible.

This study was conducted to determine the polyphenols, flavonoids and antioxidant activity (FRAP) of the extracts (crushed by hand or a homogenizer) of Rubus fruits (blackberry, Korean raspberry, black raspberry, boysenberry and golden raspberry) produced in Korea. In addition, their nitric oxide (NO) scavenging activity in RAW 264.7 cells and anti-proliferative activity in HT-29 and KATO-3 cells were investigated. Polyphenol and flavonoid contents in the Rubus fruits ranged from 0.6 to 8.9 and from 0.1 to 7.9 mg/g fresh fruit, respectively. Black raspberry had the highest polyphenol and flavonoid contents among the Rubus fruits. The homogenized extracts of blackberry, Korean raspberry and golden raspberry fruits showed significantly higher polyphenol and FRAP values than the hand-crushed extracts. FRAP values of the Rubus fruit extracts were significantly correlated with their polyphenol (R=0.995) and flavonoid (R=0.967) contents. The Rubus fruit extracts suppressed the NO secretions in LPS-treated RAW264.7 cells. There were no significant differences between extracts obtained by crushing by hand and those obtained using a homogenizer. Proliferation rates of HT-29 and KATO-3 cancer cells treated with the Rubus fruit extracts at 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 mg/mL were reduced by 3~32% and 0~57%, respectively. The homogenized extracts of blackberry and Korean raspberry fruits had significantly higher anti-proliferation activity against HT-29 cancer cells than the hand-crushed extracts. However, extraction method did not show any significant difference on proliferation of KATO-3 cancer cells. The NO scavenging activity of the Rubus fruit extracts were significantly correlated with the anti-proliferation activities of the HT-29 (R=0.602) and KATO-3 cells (R=0.498).

Production of vinegar by fermentation using Rubus crataegifolius (Korean raspberry) and Rosa rugosa Thunb (Haedanghwa) were investigated. At the first step, ethanol fermentation performed for 12 days on Haedanghwa wine containing $17.6^{\circ}Brix$ sugar concentration, 6.2% ethanol concentration, and pH 2.9, and on Korean raspberry-Haedanghwa wine containing $7.0^{\circ}Brix$ sugar concentration, 11.4% ethanol concentration, and pH 3.4. In the second step, after supplementation of 1% acetic acid to Haedanghwa wine and Korean raspberry-Haedanghwa wine which adjusted their ethanol concentration to 6%, aerotropic acetic acid fermentation was carried out using Acetobacter aceti at $30^{\circ}C$ and 200 rpm for a period of 12 days. Korean raspberry-Haedanghwa vinegar contained a 3.7% concentration of acetic acid. Total phenolic compounds and color in Korean raspberry-vinegar was higher than that in Rosa rugosa Thunb vinegar. This result demonstrates that use of Korean raspberry and Haedangwha mixture for vinegar fermentation improves the color and taste of the final product.

The present study was undertaken to investigate specific immune response of Rubus coreanus Miquel (raspberry) in pig spleen lymphocytes and gene expression induced by the extracts of raspberry using gene chip technology. The 70% ethyl alcohol extracts of raspberry were treated to pig spleen lymphocytes. The extracts of raspberry stimulated the proliferation of splenocytes and increased the population of CD3 & CD4 T-cells and B-cells in pig spleen lymphocytes. The extracts of raspberry improved immune response by increasing the viability of splenocytes. In microarray study we found eight genes were significantly up- regulated by the extracts of raspberry in pig splenocytes, including genes known to be involved in cell structure and immune response, particularly microtubule-associated protein 4, cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain, tumor necrosis factor alpha, lymphotoxin-beta receptor precursor. However, ten genes were down- regulated by the extracts of raspberry treatment.

Cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) has been known to be more bioavailable than cyanidin-3-rutinoside (C3R), the most abundant anthocyanin in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis). The aim of this study was to enhance the bioavailability of anthocyanins in black raspberry by cleaving ʟ-rhamnose in C3R using crude enzyme extracts (CEEs) from Aspergillus usamii KCTC 6956, A. awamori KCTC 60380, A. niger KCCM 11724, A. oryzae KCCM 12698, and A. kawachii KCCM 32819. The enzyme activities of the CEEs were determined by a spectrophotometric method using ρ-nitrophenyl-rhamnopyranoside and ρ-nitrophenyl-glucopyranoside. The CEE from A. usamii had the highest α-ʟ-rhamnosidase activity with 2.73 U/ml at 60℃, followed by those from A. awamori and A. niger. When bioconversion of C3R to C3G in black raspberry was analyzed by HPLC-DAD, the CEEs from A. usamii and A. awamori hydrolyzed 95.7% and 95.6% of C3R to C3G, respectively, after 2 h incubation. The CEEs from A. kawachii and A. oryzae did not convert C3R to C3G in black raspberry.

The study was conducted to investigate per oral (PO) effects of Raspberry wine on testosterone levels in Sprague-Dawley rats. Raspberry wine of 13% alcohol concentration, was prepared from ripen fruits of Rubus coreanus fermented with Saccharomyces cervisiae. PO administration of Raspberry wine for 15 week (group A) produced dramatic increases of serum testosterone levels. Increase in the testosterone level was observed, using gamma counter with 1251 testosterone, starting from 1 week post administration. Maximum increase in testosterone level was observed at 5 week post administration, 7.486±6.482ng/mL, which was 14.6 times higher than normal and at 15 weeks post administration it was recorded as 1.84±3.516ng/mL. However, PO administration of Saccharomyces cervisiae broth (Group B) and 13% brewed alcohol (group C) for 15 weeks resulted slight increase in testosterone levels, indicating Raspberry wine as an effective phyto-testosogenic beverage of the future.

We investigated the effects of unripe black raspberry water extract (UBR-W) and oxidation-LDL treatment on cholesterol levels. Experiments using an established human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2) showed a time-dependent increase in expression of LDL receptor after UBR-W treatment. Expression of LDL receptor-related genes, such as SREBP1 and 2, increased upon UBR-W treatment. However, expression of HDL-related genes was unaffected by UBR-W. HMG-CoA reductase activity was reduced by UBR-W treatment, whereas HMG-CoA mRNA expression significantly increased. In addition, the ApoB/ApoA1 mRNA level, which is a predictor of cardiovascular risk, was reduced in a time-dependent manner by UBR-W treatment. Macrophage-like cells (RAW 264.7) showed increased expression of ox-LDL-related genes, such as CD36, scavenger receptor-A, adipophilin, and PPAR-gamma, upon ox-LDL treatment compared to untreated control cells, and quantitative lipid analysis indicated a dramatic increase in lipid accumulation. However, UBR-W treatment significantly reduced expression of ox-LDL-related genes and largely prevented lipid accumulation. The results indicate that UBR-W mediates a cholesterol-lowering effect via inhibition of cholesterol synthesis and induction of LDL uptake through SREBP.

The black raspberry (Rubus coreanus Miquel) contains anthocyanin, tannins, gallotannin, gallic acid, ferulic acid and phenolics. It brightens the eyes and protects the liver and kidneys. It was effective for anti-aging. Thus, the purpose of this study was to inform the excellence of black raspberry and to screen antioxidant activity to ensure the possibility as a functional material. In this study, bioactive compounds in black raspberry were determined. Additionally, black raspberry was extracted by CM (chloroform:methanol, 2:1, v/v), 70% methanol and 70% ethanol, and were investigated and compared in vitro methods. Total phenol and flavonoid contents were measured to compare each different solvents. In addition, DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power, reducing power were determined to measure the antioxidant activity. The results were the highest in 70% ethanol extracts, and the higher the concentration showed a significantly higher antioxidant capacity. When observed the relationship between the study, antioxidant activity of black raspberry was supposed to affect by the anthocyanin, phenol and flavonoid contents.
