녹차씨유의 장기간 섭취가 혈청 콜레스테롤과 간 조직에서의 항산화능 및 염증반응 인자에 미치는 영향을 동맥경화 유발이 용이한 콜레스테롤식이를 섭취시킨 쥐에서 연구하였다. 4주령의 C57BL/6 mice($male,\;20.01{\pm}0.24\;g$)를 3군으로 나눈 후 콜레스테롤식이에 옥수수유, 녹차씨유, 올리브유를 각각 10%씩 함유한 식이를 9주간 섭취시켰다. 3주마다 안구혈관으로부터 혈액을 취해 혈청 콜레스테롤을 측정하였고 항산화능은 9주 후 간 조직에서 TBARS로 측정하였으며 혈장과 대식세포에서의 LTB4, TNF-α, PGE2, NO측정을 통하여 염증반응인자에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 실험군 간의 체중의 증가는 녹차씨유군에서 올리브유군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 식이섭취량은 녹차씨유군에서 유의적으로 낮았으나(p<0.05) 군 간의 식이효율에는 유의적 차이가 없었다. 녹차씨유군에서 다른 군에 비해 체중이 감소한 것은 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 식이섭취량이 다소 낮은 수준에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. 간의 무게는 올리브유군에서 가장 낮았으나 녹차씨유군과 옥수수유군 간에는 차이가 없었다. 혈청의 콜레스테롤농도는 식이 섭취 6주까지는 모든 군에서 증가하였으나 그 증가수준은 녹차씨유군에서 옥수수유군에 비해 유의적으로 낮았으며(p<0.05) 식이섭취 9주에는 군 간에 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 간조직의 TBARS는 옥수수유군에 비해 녹차씨군과 올리브유군에서 모두 유의적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 혈장의 LTB4, TNF-α, NO의 생성능은 녹차씨유 섭취군에서 가장 낮은 경향을 보였으며 대식세포에서는 녹차씨유을 섭취시킨 군이 옥수수유를 섭취시킨 경우보다 이들 염증반응인자의 생성정도가 다소 낮은 경향을 보였으나 실험군들 간에 유의적인 차이는 보이지 않아 녹차씨유는 염증반응인자에 대하여 다른 식물성기름과 다르지 않는 영향을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 올리브유와 지방산 조성이 유사한 녹차씨유의 일정기간섭취는 콜레스테롤식이 섭취에 따른 혈장의 콜레스테롤 농도 억제하는 효과가 있으며 옥수수유 섭취군에 비해 효과적으로 TBARS생성을 낮추므로 녹차씨유가 콜레스테롤식이 섭취에 따른 산화적 스트레스를 방어하는 효과가 있고 녹차씨유가 혈장과 대식세포에서의 염증반응에 미치는 영향은 옥수수유나 올리브유와 크게 다르지 않는 것으로 생각되었다.

Non-toxic stimulation of dendritic cells (DCs), which are central immunomodulators, may aid the prevention of cancer. Furthermore, induction of apoptosis in cancer cells by anticancer agents contributes to the induction of DC maturation. We previously reported that extracts from $Pinus$ $parviflora$ Sieb. et Zucc pine cone and $Mucuna$ seed induce differentiation of mouse bone marrow cells into mature dendritic cells and also induce apoptosis in various human cancer cell lines. In the present study, we screened 31 kinds of edible beans with biological activity similar to that of extracts from pine cone and $Mucuna$ and found that the heat-stable extract from azuki bean ($Vigna$ $angula$) stimulated differentiation of bone marrow cells into immature DCs with the greatest efficacy. The level of IL-6 produced by sequential treatment of DCs with azuki extract and lipopolysaccharide was the highest among the examined beans. Azuki extract also inhibited the growth of human leukemia U937 cells, leading to induction of apoptosis. These results suggest that azuki bean and its extract are immunopotentiating foods that can be used as a dietary supplement for cancer prevention and immunotherapy.

The melatonin, total polyphenol contents, and DPPH radical scavenging activity were determined in alfalfa, chicory, rape, red kale and sunflower after germination for four days at $24{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. Compared with seeds, melatonin content was increased in all sprouts, at the highest level in red kale (2,502.9 pg/g, 5.6 times higher than seed) followed by rape (2,430.1 pg/g), chicory (2,037.7 pg/g), alfalfa (1,160.8 pg/g) and sunflower (768.2 pg/g) sprout, however, the addition of tryptophan (0.5 mM), the precursor of melatonin synthesis, did not show any desirable effect. Both polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging activity were substantially increased in chicory (8.7 mg/g, 66%), rape (10.7 mg/g, 51%) and red kale (11.0 mg/g, 53%) sprouts, but not in alfalfa and sunflower sprouts. Melatonin content per gram polyphenol (ng/g) was also increased in all sprouts through germination. Germination was effective in increasing melatonin in all seeds tested, while its effect on polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging activity was species dependent.

There has been no specific test available for identifying the sesame oil among common edible oils. As the contents of sesamin and the ratio of sterols allowed the estimation for the genuine sesame oil, the author investigated to establish some instrumental methods for verification of genuine sesame oil and its distribution in the market. The sesame oil was saponified and the sesamin and sterols were isolated from the unsaponiable fraction by Florisil column chromatography. The individual components were determined by gas- chromatography and sesamin standard (purified sesamin) was obtained by silicagel column chromatography. The gas- chromatographic condition using Flame Ionization Detector supported on 10% OV-101 with di-(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate as an internal standard was suitable, and quantitation of sesamin and sterols, including campesterol, stigmasterol and ${\beta}-sitosterol$ was carried out. The results of this study showed that contents of sesamin in genuine sesame oil were 0.3-0.5% and the ratio of stigmasterol to compesterol was 0.3-0.6 and ${\beta}-sitosterol$ to campesterol 3.0-3.8. The 50 samples from the markets in Seoul were composed of 70% genuine sesame oil, and others were mixed with palm oil, rape seed oil and soybean oil.

Triglyceride compositions of cottonseed, soybean, sesame, perilla corn and rapeseed oils have been determined by a high performance liquid chromatographic analysis. An optimum condition was obtained by using a ALC/GPC 244 type, from Waters Association, Japan with $\mu$ Bondapak $C_{18}(1/4^{'}\times1^{'})$ column. A similar distribution pattern of triglycerides was found in cottonseed, soybean, sesame, rapeseed and corn oils. It was noted that $C_{40}$, $C_{42}$ and $C_{44}$ were the major components in these seed oils, except perilla oil. The results showed that contents $O_{40}-C_{48}$ triglyceride types in cottonseed, sesame and corn oil were within $2.23{\sim}41.24%$ and $C_{38}-C_{48}$ triglyceride types in soybean oil were within $3.01{\sim}10.02%$ and $C_{34}-C_{46}$ triglyceride types in rapeseed oil were within $2.38{\sim}28.68%$.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a rich source of edible oil most commonly it is used as a food product mainly in bakeries and also use as a common source of oil in daily kitchen needs. Due to the presence of some special phytochemicals like proteins, fibers, oil, minerals and antioxidants it is highly used for medicinal and therapeutic purposes. It is a good source of energy and act as an antiaging agent. Its seeds are used as Anti-helmintic, antihypertensive, antimicrobial, cytotoxic and Hepatoprotective but its seed coat which is a byproduct of sesame and a cherished source of fibers is normally use for animal feedstuff. In Unani system of medicine it is used both as drug & diet (dawa wa ghida). In classical Unani literature it is indicated in various disorders like Asthma, Dry Cough, Gastritis (due to any drug, excessive use of alcohol), Dryness of Intestine, Dryness in throat, Renal Stone, Bleeding Piles, Amenorrhea, Retention of urine, Dysuria, Orchitis, Sexual Debility, Anorexia. The present review article, an attempt have been made to compile all the pharmacological and Pharmacognostical characters of Sesamum indicum with special reference to Unani literature.

Peanut seeds are characterized by high oils and proteins with good quality, and are utilized as an edible oil source and a protein-rich food products. The end products, being peanut butter, salted seed, confections, roasting stock and other by-products are favored in world-wide because of their unique roasted peanut flavor. As with many other foods, interest in the composition and chemistry of peanut is largely a result of thier use as human food. Thus, a more complete knowledge of thier chemical and food quality and flavor properties is desired. Literatures are reviewed mainly focucing on the physicochemical properties and nutritional quality of oil, protein and flavor in peanuts. Chemical properties of protein and oil, and volatile flavor component in peanut seeds are studied extensively in view point of chemical and food nutritional value. But in crop base, the synthesis and genetic studies of the chemicals could not provide valuable informations on the breeding for quality improvement. Some essential amino acids are limiting in peanut seeds and the tocopherols are very important in oil stability and for dietary adequacy ratio in high linoleic acid peanut oil, but it is thought to be quite difficult to improve by breeding technique as their lack information of gene actions. However, the selections of high protein and oil, and some essential amino acids and linoleic acid rich genotypes could be helpful for the quality improving. Research studies are also needed to elucidate the relationships between flavor components and consumer perception of peanut flavor.

Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge, the sole species in the genus Xanthoceras, is a flowering plant in the family Sapindaceae. It is an important tree species being a source of edible oil and biodiesel with a capacity as a pioneer of degraded and desert land. Seeds of X. sorbifolia were collected from two plantations and two superior trees in Inner Mongolia; and one plantation and one superior tree in Liaoning, China. An inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analysis showed genetic variation among four artificial populations in China: two in Inner Mongolia (IM), one in Liaoning (LN), and one in Shandong (SD). The average percentage of polymorphic loci was 81.25 % for these four populations. Based on an analysis of molecular variance, 23 % of the total genetic variation was found among populations, and 77 % within populations. Traits of seeds varied considerably between and among areas, for example two trees produced quite different seeds in several traits although they are adjacent to each other in the same farm. As much attention has not been paid to the traits of seeds, there should be a genetic test to understand this variation. It is necessary to obtain information on seed characteristics first and then provide basic information for further research on the selection of superior trees and provenances.
