The effects of maesil extract addition on the palatability and quality of kochujang, a traditional Korean condiment, were investigated in terms of the microbial characteristics, enzyme activities, and taste components during 100 days of fermentation. Viable cell counts of bacteria and yeast in maesil extract-added kochujang (maesil kochujang) were increased in proportion to added maesil extract from 1 to 5% during fermentation, up to 80 and 20 days, respectively and maintained $5.0{\sim}14.5{\times}10^6$ CFU/g. Activities of α-amylase, $\beta$-amylase, and protease were also increased in proportion to added maesil extract up to 20, 20, and 60 days, respectively and were higher than those of control during the aging process. The major organic acids in maesil kochujang were citric and malic acid. Composition and content of free sugar were not changed remarkably in general by the addition of maesil extract except maltose. The major free sugars of maesil kochujang were in the order of glucose>sucrose>maltose, and glucose content decreased significantly as the ratio of maesil extract increased, while maltose content increased significantly (p<0.05).

In the present study, the ethanolic leaf and bark extract of Wrightia tomentosa were tested for comparative in vivo antitumour properties against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) tumour bearing mice at 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight doses given orally once daily for 16 days. The EAC mice receiving 100 and 200 mg/kg ethanolic leaf and bark extract showed a dose dependent elevation in tumour, free survival and a highest number of survivors were observed at 200 mg/ kg for leaf extract of ethanol, which was considered as an optimum dose for its anti neoplastic action. The Median survival time for this dose was approximately 44 days when compared with 23 days of non-drug treated controls. The results indicate that the administration of leaf extract not only increased the survival of animals with ascites tumour and reduced packed cell volume and viable tissue cell count, but also altered many hematological parameters changed during tumour progression, indicating the potent antitumour nature of leaf extract than the bark extract. Statistical analysis also reveals that the leaf extract showed highly significant anti tumour potency (p < 0.001) when compared with control.

배경: 야생 망초의 항산화 물질의 존재와 활성화 연구는 아직 미진한 상태이다. 목적: 본 연구에서는 망초를 에탄올에서 추출하여 항산화 물질의 활성에 관하여 연구하였다. 방법: 야생 망초를 세척한 다음에 에탄올로 추출하여 다양한 분석기기를 활용하여 항산화성 물질의 활성을 조사하였다. 결과: 야생 망초 추출물의 수율 비율은 최고는 49.3% 이었으며 온도와 에탄올 비율에 따라서 다양하게 나타났다. 추출에서 180℃에서 물과 에탄올 비율이 50:50에서 가장 높았다. 추출물의 세포독성 실험에서는 무처리 군은 100% 생존율, 실험군에서는 추출물 50 ppm 이상에서는 98-100%로 나타났다. 거의 모든 농도에서 세포독성이 없었다. 실험군에 서는 추출물 25 ppm에서는 Nitric oxide 생성은 42%까지 억제되었다. 추출물 50 ppm에서는 유리 지방산 함량이 15%가 감소하였다. 세포 생존율은 추출물 농도가 50 ppm에서는 20%, 100 ppm에서 24%이었다. 추출물 농도 500 ppm에서는 DPPH과 ABTs를 이용한 유리 산소 소거 능은 90-98%로 나타났다. DPPH와 ABTs 자유기 소거 활성의 변화를 3차원적으로 관찰하였을 때에 85℃에서는 온도가 증가함에 따라 항산화 활성이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 85~130℃에서는 온도가 증가함에 따라 오히려 감소하는 경향으로 나타났다. 결론: 야생 망초 에탄올 추출물에서 항산화 물질이 확인되었으며, 세포독성도 거의 없고, NO 생산도 억제하고, 유리 산소의 소거 기능도 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 망초 추출물을 다양한 자연치유적 활용에 대한 기초적 자료를 제공하고 있다고 본다.

The antioxidative ability on the basis of reduced glutathione sulphydryl level, the inhibition activities of linoleic acid peroxidation of cell free extract of Lactobacillus spp. and the effects of types of media and growth phase of the cells on the cellular GSH level have been determined. Correlation between reduced glutathione sulphydryl level and antioxidative ability of Lactobacillus spp. was analyzed: Lactobacillus casei HY 2782 contained 25.15 $\mu$mole/g of GSH, the cellular GSH level of L. casei HY 2782 reached maximum after 24 h of cultivation and tended to decrease on further cultivation up to 72 h. There was a significantly higher level of cellular GSH when grown in de Man Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth than in tryptone phytone yeast extract (TPY) broth or bromcresol pruple dextrose (BCP) broth (p<0.05). The antioxidant activity of cell free extract of Lactobacillus spp. have been shown to be significantly different among strains in the inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation by thiobarbituric acid (TBA) test (p<0.01). L. casei HY 2782 and L. acidophilus ATCC 4356 revealed a high degree of antioxidative effect in linoleic acid oxidation system. Spearmans' rank correlation coefficient between inhibitory activity on linoleic acid peroxidation and cellular GSH levels of Lactobacillus spp. was 0.65, which means a significant positive correlation.

This study was done to produce ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from wild yeast as well as investigate its anti-hyperglycemic effects. Among ten GABA-producing yeast strains, Pichia silvicola UL6-1 and Sporobolomyces carnicolor 402-JB-1 produced high GABA concentration of $134.4{\mu}g/mL$ and $179.2{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. P. silvicola UL6-1 showed a maximum GABA yield of $136.5{\mu}g/mL$ and $200.8{\mu}g/mL$ from S. carnicolor 402-JB-1 when they were cultured for 30 hr at $30^{\circ}C$ in yeast extract-peptone-dextrose medium. The cell-free extract from P. silvicola UL6-1 and S. carnicolor 402-JB-1 showed very high anti-hyperglycemic ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity of 72.3% and 69.9%, respectively. Additionally, their cell-free extract-containing GABA showed the anti-hyperglycemic effect in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats.

This study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity and bioactive property of extracts from a purple-colored wheat variety 'Arriheuk' (Triticum aestivum L.) wheatgrass, affected by light emitting diode irradiation (LED). The wheatgrass was cultivated for 10 days after sowing in a growth chamber under the following LED conditions: R1B1 (Red:Blue = 1:1), R7B3 (Red:Blue = 7:3), and R3B7 (Red:Blue = 3:7). We examined antioxidant activity of the hot water extracts of wheatgrass using DPPH and ABTS free radicals scavenging assays. At the concentration of 10,000 ㎍/ml, the extract from R1B1 showed the highest DPPH free radical scavenging activity(79.29%), but its ABTS free radical scavenging activity was the lowest(32.0%). To evaluate bioactive property of the wheatgrass, we examined the change of natural killer (NK) cell activity affected by the wheatgrass extracts in vitro. At the concentration of 500㎍/ml, NK cell activity was most highly enhanced by the extract from R1B1(181.6%), and the activity was 176.1% (R7B3) and 144.6%(R3B7), respectively. These results suggest that the functional property of 'Arriheuk' wheatgrass would be enhanced by LED irradiation condition.

Due to recent advances in genome sequencing, there has been a dramatic increase in the quantity of genetic information, which has lead to an even greater demand for a faster, more parallel expression system. Therefore, interest in cell-free protein synthesis, as an alternative method for high-throughput gene expression, has been revived. In contrast to in vivo gene expression methods, cell-free protein synthesis provides a completely open system for direct access to the reaction conditions. We have developed an efficient cell-free protein synthesis system by optimizing the energy source and S30 extract. Under the optimized conditions, approximately $650{\mu}g/mL$ of protein was produced after 2h of incubation, with the developed system further modified for the efficient expression of PCR-amplified DNA. When the concentrations of DNA, magnesium, and amino acids were optimized for the production of PCR-based cell-free protein synthesis, the protein yield was comparable to that from the plasmid template.

Objectives: Haeganjeon(HGJ) has been used for the treatment of liver disease in traditional medicine. The present study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant and protective effects of HGJ extract on oxidative damage of hepatocytes by tert-butyl hydroperoxide(t-BHP). Methods: In the linoleic acid water-alcohol system, the levels of lipid peroxide(LPO) were determined by TBA method. The scavenging effect of HGJ on ${\alpha},{\alpha}-diphenyl-{\beta}-picrylhydrazyl$(DPPH) radical was determined according to the method of Hatano. In the Fenton system(ferrous ion reaction with hydrogen peroxide), the levels of hydroxyl radical induced LPO in rat liver homogenate were determined according to the method of TBA. Inhibitory effect of HGJ on superoxide generation was measured by xanthine-xanthine oxidase system. In order to evaluate antioxidative activity of HGJ in the liver cell, cultured normal rat liver cells(Ac2F) were prepared and incubated with or without HGJ. After 18hr, cells placed in DMEM medium without serum, and then incubated with 1mM tert-butyl hydroperoxide(t-BHP) for 2hrs. Viable cells were detected by MTT assay. Conclusions: In the linoleic acid autoxidation system, HGJ extract significantly inhibited the time course of the lipid peroxidation. These effects were similar to those of BHA HGJ extracts showed about 70% scavenging effect on DPPH radical. And HGJ extract inhibited the lipid peroxide formation in rat liver homogenate induced by hydroxyl radical derived from Fenton system. In addition, HGJ extract protected the cell death induced by t-BHP and significantly increased cell viability in the normal rat liver cell. These result indicated that HGJ extract might playa protective role against oxidative hepatic cell injury by means of free radical scavenger.
