Phytoestrogens, especially soy-derived isoflavones, are receiving great scrutiny as a food supplement for preventing hormone dependent disease such as postmenopausal osteoporosis. Their beneficial effects are derived from aglycone form of isoflavones, such as daidzein, genistein or glycitein. In contrast to the common usage of soybean, black bean (Rhynchosia Molubilis : Yak-kong) has been used as a supplement for preventing postmenopausal osteoporosis in oriental medicine. To investigate the effects of the saliva, artificial stomach fluid, and digestive enzymes on the conversion of glycosidic isoflavone to aglycone form, soybean and black bean were extracted with 70% methanol and freeze-dried. The recovery yield of methanol extracts of black bean was 14.1% which was higher than that of soybean, 13.5%. In terms of total isoflavones, we routinely obtained larger amount of isoflavones from black bean than those from soybean. By incubating methanol extracts of soybean and black bean with IN HCI for 180 min, the proportions of aglycones relative to the total isoflavone were significantly increased (32.4% and 52.4%, respectively). In vitro conversion, digestive enzymes ($\beta$-glucosidase and $\alpha$-glucosidase) may hydrolyze glycosidic bond of isoflavone more effectively than saliva or artificial stomach fluid did. It seems to say that the activity of $\beta$-glucosidase was higher than those of $\alpha$-glucosidase. The rate of conversion of glucoside form to aglycone form in black bean and soybean was low in physiological condition (pH) tested, although the enzymatic hydrolysis of glucoside was active. These results demonstrated that the composition of aglycone in food may be the important factors in terms of the bioavailability of isoflavones. (Korean J Nutrition 36(1): 32-39, 2003)

황색콩과 검은콩의 원산지를 판별하기 위하여 일반성분 및 20 MHz pulsed NMR을 이용하여 자기완화시간을 측정하였다. 일반성분으로는 황색콩은 조지방 함량 만이 원산지별 차이를 나타내었고, 검은콩의 경우에는 수분과 단백질 함량이 원산지별 차이를 보였다. 20 MHz pulsed NMR을 이용하여 자기완화시간 및 고형지방함량을 측정한 결과 황색콩은 고형지방함량과 $T_2-CPMG$ 측정시 원산지에 따라 유의적인 차이를 나타내었으며, 검은콩은 $T_1-SR$을 제외한 모든 측정항목에서 원산지별 차이를 나타내었다. 황색콩과 검은콩의 원산지 판별 분석시 일반성분만으로 정준판별분석을 시행한 결과 $70{\sim}91.7%$의 정확도를 나타내었으나, NMR 자기완화시간 및 고형지방함량을 이용한 경우 100%의 정확성으로 원산지를 판별해낼 수 있었다.

콩에 함유되어 있는 이소플라본은 골다공증 예방 및 치료제로써의 활발한 연구가 진행중이다. 콩은 우리의 식생활과 깊은 관련성이 있으므로 이소플라본의 함량을 HPLC로 정량분석 하였다. 한국산 황기와 콩제품인 콩나물, 두부, 콩기름, 메주, 된장, 간장, 대두, 약콩, 완두콩 및 강남콩 등에서 함유된 isoflavone을 5mM $NaH_2PO_4$ 완충용액(pH 4.6)과 메탄올을 혼합한 이동상 (4 : 6) UV 260 nm에서 분석하였다(Table 2). 콩식품에 함유된 isoflavone중 유리 daidzein 양은 콩나물에서 $43.49{\pm}3.41\;mg/kg$, 된장에서 $233.31{\pm}5.81\;mg/kg$, 약콩은 $35.66{\pm}4.70\;mg/kg$이 검출되어 대두 $(14.52{\pm}0.58\;mg/kg)$ 비해 높았다. (P<0.05)간장 및 콩 기름은 함량이 낮았고, 완두콩 및 강남콩의 함량은 측정치 이하였다. 유리 genistein은 콩나물이 $27.631{\pm}1.66\;mg/kg$,메주가 $18.75{\pm}1.33mg/kg$, 된장이 $291.52{\pm}6.81\;mg/kg$ 검출되었고, 대두는 $22.49{\pm}0.93mg/kg$으로 약콩$(61.10{\pm}7.73mg/kg)$ 보다 낮았다(P<0.01). 그러나 formononetin의 함량은 daidzein, genistein과는 다른 양상을 보였으며, 특히 황기는 daidzein과 genistein은 검출되지 않았으나 formononetin의 함량이 대두$(60.62{\pm}11.35\;{\mu}g/kg)$ 비해 $9629.73{\pm}0.57\;{\mu}g/kg$으로 약 160배 이상 많았고, 약콩은 대두와 유사하였으나, 콩기름, 완두콩, 강남콩에서는 formononetin이 검출되지 않았으며, 전통식품인 된장과 메주에도 상당량 함유되어 있었다.

Ultraviolet (UV)-induced damage plays a major role in ocular diseases, such as cataracts and retinal degeneration. UV irradiation can generate free radicals including reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are known to cause lipid peroxidation of cellular membranes. It has also been shown that UV can damage DNA directly and induce apoptosis. Rhynchosia volubilis Loureiro (the small black bean or yak-kong, RV) and Beta bulgaris (beet, BB) are used as health supplements. In this study, we explored the protective effects of RV and BB against UVA-induced damage in human pigment epithelial (ARPE-19) cells and in mice. RV and BB mixture and their effective constituents (cyanidin, delphidin, petunidin glycosides) improved cell viability and suppressed intracelluar ROS generation. Phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), Erk1/2 was analyzed by immunoblotting. RV and BB mixture inhibited UVA-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, JNK, Erk1/2 in APRE-19 cells. RV and BB treatment also showed protective effects on ocular damage in UVA-irradiated mice by increasing the levels of endogenous antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione. RV and BB have the potential to be used in a range of ocular diseases and conditions, based on in vitro and in vivo study.
