Alcohol fermentation conditions for the production of plum wine were investigated and further, sensory evaluation and physiological functionalities of the plum wines were also determined and compared with those of plum liquors made by soaking plums in a mixture of commercial soju and 10% sugar for 15, 30, 60 and 120 days. Ethanol was produced maximally when 5% Saccharomyces cerevisiae was added to red plum juices and fermented at 25$^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity and fibrinolytic activity of the red plum wine were better than those of the plum liquors. However, the antioxidant activity, the SOD-like activity and the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the plum liquors were better than those of the red plum wine. On comparing the red plum wine and the various kinds of plum liquors, the red plum wine was shown to be more acceptable by sensory evaluation.

The oxidative stress causes many diseases like cancer, aging, cardiovascular disease, degenerative neurological disorders (Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer's disease) by damage of cell membrane, protein deformation, and damage of DNA due to the oxidation of lipid of cell membrane, protein of tissue or enzyme, carbohydrate, and DNA. It is caused by the reactive oxygen species (ROS) that is produced in the metabolic process of oxygen in cell. The superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in cell systemize the antioxidative enzymes to control the oxidative stress. In this research, it is measured that the survival rate of cell by the typical isoflavonoid of daidzein or genistein, activity of antioxidative enzyme, and ROS level, in order to study the effect of isoflavonoid over the ROS production in cell and antioxidative system. As the similar action of the isoflavonoid with the estrogen is examined, women are encouraged to get bean. In view of this trend, it is very important to find out a combination medicine that lowers the oxidative stress caused by the daidzein in the ovarian cell. In the combined treatment of the typical antioxidant of vitamin C to oxidative stress which induced by daidzein recover the control level particularly lowering the ROS in cell by 30%. However, it made no effect in the combined treatment with genistein. Therefore, the research took the combination effect of daidzein with vitamin C in order to check it effect over the antioxidative system. In conclusion, it was disclosed that the oxidative stress caused by daidzein is related to the lowering activity of SOD, and the specific combination effect of daidzein with vitamin C is related to the recovery of SOD activity.

밤꽃의 항산화효과를 측정하기 위해 밤꽃의 수꽃을 수집하여 메탄올로 추출한 후 추출물의 항산화 효과를 측정하였다. 밤꽃 조추출물의 추출수율은 6.26% 였으며, 총 페놀함량은 0.199 mg/mL 인 것으로 나타났다. DPPH법으로 free radical 소거능을 측정한 결과 밤꽃 추출물이 17.22%로 기존의 항산화제에 비해서는 소거능이 다소 낮은 것으로 측정되었다. SOD 유사활성 측정은 밤꽃 추출물이 65.10%로 BHT(95.70%)와 quercetin(93.29%)에 비해 낮았지만, ascorbic acid(30.30%) 보다는 높은 활성을 나타내었다. Lecithin 산화저해율은 밤꽃 추출물이 51.45%, BHT(67.08%), quercetin(63.46%), ascorbic acid(23.60%), chlorogenic acid(48.76%), tannic acid(50.10%)로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과 밤꽃 추출물이 DPPH free radical 소거능에서 기존 항산화제에 비해 낮은 활성을 나타냈지만, 시간경과에 따른 활성의 지속성과 50% 이상의 지질과산화 억제효과가 있어 천연항산화제로서의 가능성이 충분히 있는 것으로 추정된다.

중금속의 하나인 $Cr0_3$의 세포독성과 이에 대한 연꽃(Nelumbo nucifera GAERTN(NNG))의 수술에서 채취한 연꽃추출물의 방어효과를 배양 대뇌신경교세포(C6 glioma cell)를 대상으로 항산화 측면에서 조사하였다. $Cr0_3$의 세포독성을 조사하기 위하여 배양된 C6 glioma 세포를 $4{\sim}55{\mu}M$ 농도의 $Cr0_3$로 48시간동안 처리하였다. XTT 분석법에 의하여 세포생존율을 조사하였다. 그 결과 $Cr0_3$는 처리 농도에 비례하여 C6 glioma세포의 생존율을 유의하게 감소시켰으며 $Cr0_3$의 $55{\mu}M$ 농도 처리에서는 $XTT_{50}$ 값이, $10{\mu}M$에서는$XTT_{90}$ 값이 나타났다. 따라서 세포독성판정기준에 의하여 $Cr0_3$는 C6 glioma세포에 고독성인 것으로 나타났다. 한편, $Cr0_3$의 세포독성에 대한 연꽃추출물의 방어효과를 항산화 측면에서 조사하기 위하여 먼저 연꽃추출물의 항산화활성을 SOD-유사활성에 의하여 조사하였다. 그 결과 $130{\sim}150{\mu}g{\cdot}mL^{-1}$의 연꽃추출물 농도에서 SOD-유사활성이 대조군에 비하여 모두 증가하였으며 특히 $150{\mu}g{\cdot}mL^{-1}$의 NNG추출물의 처리에서는 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 증가한 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 이는 또한 비교군으로 사용한 $15{\mu}M$, vitamin E의 SOD유사활성과 매우 유사한 활성을 나타냈다. 따라서 연꽃추출물은 SOD 유사활성을 보임으로서 항산화활성을 나타냈다. 한편, $Cr0_3$의 세포독성에 대한 연꽃추출물의 방어효과를 조사하기 위하여 $Cr0_3$의 $XTT_{50}$ 농도인 $55{\mu}M$에서 배양 C6 glioma 세포를 처리하기 전에 연꽃추출물이 $90-120{\mu}g{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ 농도로 각각 포함된 배양액에서 2시간 동안 배양한 후 이에 대한 세포생존율을 조사하였다. 그 결과 연꽃추출물을 처리한 실험군에서는 $Cr0_3$을 처리한 실험군에 비하여 유의한 세포생존율의 증가를 보였다. 본 실험 결과는 연꽃추출물이 $Cr0_3$의 세포독성을 효과적으로 방어하였음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 실험 결과로부터 $Cr0_3$는 배양 C6 glioma세포에 고독성을 나타냈으며 항산화활성을 가지고 있는 연꽃추출물은 $Cr0_3$에 의한 세포독성을 효과적으로 방어함으로서 $Cr0_3$의 독성이 산화적 손상과 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of ethanol extracts on lipid oxidation of oil emulsion. The results are as follows; The scavenging ability of plant extracts for hydroxyl radical was found, and plant extracts played an important role as a strong chelating agents to bind iron if Fe2+ ion exists in oil emulsion. Pinus densiflora(PD), Lithospermum erythrorhizon(LE) and PD＋LE acted as strong chelating agents to bind iron to reduce lipid oxidation in oil emulsion. The content of Fe2+ ion in ethanol extracts from LE and PD＋LE were significantly higher(p<0.05) than that of ethanol extracts from PD. The content of total iron has same tendency. The ascorbic acid content of PD(16.36ppm) was slightly higher than those of LE(13.08ppm). Electron donating ability of PD was significantly higher(p<0.05) than those of LE. However, the superoxide(SOD) like ability of LE showed a little higher than those of LE and PD＋LE, which means the strong antioxidant activity of LE. The nitrite scavenging effects were dependent on pH value, however, they decreased as pH value increased. Especially, they almost didn't show the nitrite scavenging effect in pH 6.0. In conclusion, the PD and LE extracts may be used as natural antioxidant sources to reduce lipid oxidation in oil emulsion.

This study was investigated to evaluate the contents of polyphenols and flavonoids, and physiological activities of various extracts from Calystegia japonica roots for making good use of their functional materials. The roots of C. japonica were extracted with water (WE), ethanol (EE) and hot water (HWE) by different methods. Among these extracts, the highest extracting yield was 30.30% of HWE, while the highest contents of total polyphenols and flavonoids were 40.85% and 6.40% of WE, respectively. The nitrite scavenging abilities were ranged from 31.31% (HWE) to 37.46% (EE) at pH 1.2 and 1.0 mg/ml concentration. In the measurements of electron donating abilities, EE showed the highest effect as 91.83% at 0.3 mg/ml assay concentration, and the electron donating ability was decreased as the extract concentration was increased. In the results of superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity, HWE showed the highest effect as 7.15% at 1.0 mg/ml. The tyrosinase inhibition activities of WE and EE were 15.28% and 14.97%, respectively. The xanthine oxidase inhibitory effects were ranged from 97.50 to 99.28% at 1.0 mg/ml. These results indicate that C. japonica extract has a good antioxidant effects and could be useful for developing functional products.

The objective of the present study was to determine the total phenol and flavonoid contents and to evaluate the antioxidant potential, of different solvent extracts (ethyl acetate, n-butanol, chloroform, and water) from Robus idaeus in various radical scavenging models (DPPH activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, reducing power, and nitrite scavenging activity), along with their antimicrobial potential. Measurement of total phenol and flavonoid content of the ethyl acetate extract of R. idaeus was found to be significantly higher than those of the other extracts. The ethyl acetate extract (at a concentration of $1,000{\mu}g/mL$) showed significantly higher reducing power and DPPH radical scavenging activity as compared to the other extracts. Results were dose-dependent. Moreover, the ethyl acetate extract of R. idaeus ($1,000{\mu}g/mL$) showed potent antioxidant efficacy ($85.5{\pm}1.18%$) as evidenced by nitrite scavenging ability at pH 1.2. All solvent extracts of R. idaeus showed lower SOD-like activity (13.72~20.54%). In addition, the antimicrobial activity of all solvent extracts except water extract showed strong inhibition (inhibitory zones in mm) of Staphylococcus aureus ($19.40{\pm}1.00mm$) and Bacillus cereus ($20.50{\pm}0.21mm$) growth. In particular, ethyl acetate extracts (100 mg/mL) showed antimicrobial activity comparable to that of tetracycline (0.01 mg/mL), which was used as a positive control. The results of this study indicate that the ethyl acetate extract of R. idaeus is a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial, with enriched phenols and flavonoids concentration, that has potential in the development of health-enhancing food products.
