The purpose of this research was to study the effects of kefir whey (kefir whey, peptides, lactic acid) on skin care properties including skin lightening effect and acne treatment. The final aim was to develop a new cosmetic product and enhance the value of dairy products. The results of skin lightening tests showed that all three kefir whey components (kefir whey, peptides and lactic acid) had inhibitory ability against melanin synthesis. Furthermore, copper chelating analysis demonstrated that both kefir whey and kefir whey peptides could chelate the copper in tyrosinase, which might explain the mechanism of inhibition. The ability for acne treatment indicated that lactic acid level higher than 60 mg/ml could inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acne, whereas no inhibition was found with other components.

Hydrogen peroxide (0.5 mM)와 반응 5시간후 L. acidophilus GK20, L. brevis GK55, L. paracasei GK74 및 L. plantarum GK81들은 50% 이상의 생존율을 보였으며, superoxide anions에 의한 저해율은 L. acidophilus GK20와 L. paracasei GK74가 가장 낮았고, hydroxyl radical과의 반응에서는 L. paracasei GK74와 L. plantarum GK81이 가장 안정하였다. 한편, L. plantarum GK81는 실험 균주 중 가장 높은 DPPH 소거능($70.8{\pm}10.1%$)을 나타내었는데, 세포(IC)보다는 세포추출물(ICFE)의 활성이 더 높았다. 또한 L. plantarum GK81의 ICFE는 다른 균주들에 비해 높은 superoxide radical 소거능을 보였고, 이 균주의 IC와 ICFE에 의한 환원력은 BHA와 vitamin C보다 유의적으로 더 높게 나타났으며, L.paracasei GK74 IC의 환원력도 vitamin C와 비슷한 수준으로 나타났다. L. brevis GK55, L. paracasei GK74 및 L.mesenteroides GK104 IC의 $Fe^{2+}$-chelating 활성은 30% 이상이었고, L. plantarum GK81의 ICFE는 45% 이상의 활성을 나타내었다. 따라서 실험 균주 중 L. plantarum GK81은 다른 균들에 비해 ROS에 대해 비교적 안정하고, 항산화 활성도 가장 높은 것으로 확인되었다.

The adsorption ability of heavy metal ions from the aqueous solution by chitosan, which it is well known natural biopolymer, has been investigated. The fundamental study in this research is focusing on the physicochemical adsorption utilizing the chitosan as a organic chelating adsorbent, adsorb especially heavy metal ions from the waste liquid solution. The adsorption ability of the chitosan between metal ions, having different characteristics with Mw of 188,600, 297,200, and 504,200 g/mol and degree of deacetylation (DD) of 86.92% and 100% were investigated targeting on the $Ni^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, and $Pb^{2+}$ ions, respectively. The uptake of heavy metal ions with chitosan was performed by atomic absorption flame emission spectrophotometer (AAS) as conducted residual metal ions. It was found that chitosan has an strong adsorption capacity for some metals under certain conditions. Chitosan, which have 100% degree of deacetylation showed high adsorption recovery ratio and have an affinity for all kinds of heavy metals. In contrast, the molecular weight of chitosan was not completely affected on metal ion adsorption.

Water extract from Pinus densiflora (WPD) was investigated for its antioxidant activity and its ability to provide protection from DNA damage. A series of antioxidant assays, including a 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical-scavenging assay, a reducing power assay, a metal-chelating assay, a superoxide radical scavenging assay, and a nitrite scavenging ability, as well as a DNA damage protection assay were performed. Total phenolic content was found to be 211.32 mg Tan/g WPD. The extract scavenged 50% DPPH free radical at a concentration of 21.35 ${\mu}g/mL$. At that same concentration, the reducing power ability of WPD was higher than that of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. The extract chelated 68.9% ferrous ion at the concentration of 4 mg/mL. WPD showed better nitrite scavenging effect at the lower pH. Meanwhile, WPD exhibited a strong capability for DNA damage protection at 1 mg/mL concentration. Taken together, these data suggest water extract from Pinus densiflora could be used as a suitable natural antioxidant.

치자 껍질의 항산화 활성을 측정하기 위하여 70% methanol, distilled water (DW) 및 ethyl acetate (EA)의 3가지 용매를 사용한 추출물의 용매 별 flavonoid 함량 및 항산화 활성, 금속 chelating 능력 측정을 통하여 치자 껍질의 기능성 식품 재료로서의 가치를 검토한 결과, 치자 껍질의 proanthocyanidin 함량은 $48.165{\pm}0.811mg\;CE/g\;DW$로 나타났으며, 추출 수율은 70% methanol(36.26%), DW (39.87%), EA (2.88%) 로 나타났다. 추출 용매 별 항산화 활성은 농도(0.2, 0.4, 0.6 mg/mL)가 증가할수록 유의적으로 증가하였으며, control로 사용된 ascorbic acid, BHA, EDTA 보다는 낮은 활성이 관찰되었다. Flavonoid 함량(mg QE/g)은 70% methanol (0.416), DW (0.225), EA(0.212) 순으로 확인되었으며 다른 항산화 분석 및 금속 chelating 능력 실험에서도 이와 유사하게 관찰되어 모든 분석에서 70% methanol 추출물이 가장 활성이 강한 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 미루어 볼 때 치자 껍질의 용매 별 flavonoid 함량에 따라 항산화능, 금속 chelating 능력이 증가하는 것으로 사료되며, EA 추출물을 제외한 다른 추출물에서의 수율과 항산화 활성은 높은 수준으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 치자의 껍질은 proanthocyanidin과 flavonoid 화합물을 다량 함유하고 있으며 그로 인한 높은 항산화 활성과 생리활성을 가지고 있어 기능성 식품 및 천연항산화제로서의 가치가 매우 기대된다.

양배추 피클로부터 분리된 유산균으로 발효하여 제조한 플레인 요구르트와 소이 요구르트를 저장하는 동안 미생물학적 및 물리화학적 변화와 항산화 특성을 조사하였다. 분리 균주는 당분해능과 유전자 염기서열 분석을 통해 L. casei PC05와 L. acidophilus PC16으로 동정되었다. Lactobacillus acidophilus PC16 균주로 발효시킨 요구르트의 적정산도, 점도 및 균수는 L. casei PC05 균주에 의해 제조된 요구르트에 비해 높게 나타났으며, 특히 플레인 요구르트보다 소이 요구르트에서 세균수와 물리화학적 요인의 측정값이 유의하게 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 한편, L. acidophilus PC16 균주로 발효시킨 요구르트는 DPPH 라디칼 소거능과 철이온 킬레이팅 활성이 높았으나, L. casei PC05 균주의 요구르트는 superoxide anion 제거능과 SOD 활성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 대부분의 항산화능은 플레인 요구르트보다 소이 요구르트에서 더 높게 나타났으며, 요구르트의 지질과산화 억제능은 항산화 활성에 기인하는 것으로 추정된다. 또한 발효직후 요구르트의 미생물학적, 물리화학적 및 항산화 활성은 $4^{\circ}C$에서 8일간 저장하는 동안 거의 일정한 수준으로 유지되었다.

우유 casein단백질을 trypsin, alcalase, neutrase, protamax, S. aureus type V8 등의 단백질분해효소를 이용하여 가수분해시키고 생성된 peptide의 철분가용화능을 측정하였을 때, trypsin과 alcalase에 의해 생성된 peptide들이 pH 6의 조건에서 각각 6.42와 $2.37\;{\mu}g/mL$를 가용화시키는 능력을 보였으며 그외의 protease들은 $1\;{\mu}g/mL$내외의 철분가용화능을 보였다. Trypsin과 alcalase에 의해 생성된 peptide를 역상 column으로 10개의 분획으로 나누어서 각각의 분획의 pH6에서의 철분가용화능을 측정한 결과, trypsin의 경우 분획 5에서 가장 높은 철분가용화능$(2.33\;{\mu}g/mL)$이 발견되었으며 alcalase의 경우에는 분획 7이 가장 높은 철분가용화능$(1.56\;{\mu}g/mL)$을 보였다. 이들 철분과 결합력이 있는 peptide를 분리하기 위하여 IMAC의 방법을 이용하여 철분을 chelating sepharose fast flow column에 고정화 시키고 이들 철분에 흡착하는 peptide의 분리를 시도한 결과, trypsin이나 alcalase에 의해 생성된 peptide중 철분을 가용화시키는 능력이 높은 peptide들이 IMAC에 의해 효과적으로 분리되었다.

Duck egg white (DEW) hydrolysates were prepared by five enzymes (papain, trypsin, chymotrypsin, alcalase, and flavourzyme) and their antioxidant activities investigated in this study. DEW hydrolyzed with papain (DEWHP) had the highest peptide content among the five enzymatic treatments. Besides, the peptide content of DEWHP increased when the enzyme to substrate ratio (E/S ratio) increased. It was suggested that higher E/S ratio contributed to elevate the degree of hydrolysis of DEW effectively. Similar results were also obtained by Tricine-SDS-PAGE. In addition, SDS-PAGE patterns indicated papain was the only one amongst all enzymes with the ability to hydrolyze DEW. In antioxidant properties, DEWHP showed more than 70% of inhibitory activity on linoleic acid peroxidation and superoxide anion scavenging. Moreover, the $Fe^{2+}$ chelating effect of DEWHP was greater than 90%, while no significant difference was observed in DPPH radical scavenging and reducing ability. The results of peptide contents, antioxidant activities and electrophoresis suggested that the higher the peptide content, the stronger the antioxidant activities in DEWHP.

The polysaccharides from fruit body of Auricularia auricula and Tremella fuciformis were extracted using hot water, and partially purified through ethanol precipitation and dialysis. Free radical scavenging activities of the crude and purified polysaccharides were examined and compared each other. Free radical scavenging activities of the partially purified polysaccharides were higher than those of crude polysaccharides. DPPH free radical, ABTS radical and SOD-like activities of partially purified polysaccharide at 1 mg/mL of concentration from A. auricula were 61.7, 9.6 and 38.9%, respectively, while those of T. fuciformis were 9.6, 5.7 and 15.3%, respectively. Results of site and non-site specific hydroxyl radical scavenging activities indicated that the partially purified polysaccharide fractions from A. auricula and T. fuciformis exhibited the hydroxyl radical scavenging effect by hydrogen donating ability and iron ion chelating ability. Also, reducing powers of A. auricula and T. fuciformis were 77.1 and 14.7% of BHT (0.1%) as standard, respectively. It was suggested that antioxidant activities of A. auricula were about 1.4~6.4 times higher than those of T. fuciformis due to different levels of polyphenol content.
