일반적으로 폐기 처분하거나 비료로 재활용하는 한약을 추출하고 남는 한약박을 발효하여 영양분으로 첨가하는 팰릿 대신 폐면과 섞어 균상배지로 사용하여 느타리버섯을 재배할 때 수확량과 저장성에 대한 연구를 하였다. 또한, 한약박은 불특정 한약재들이 섞여 있으므로 이로 인해 문제가 나타날 수도 있으므로 한약박의 성분이 느타리버섯으로 전이되는지 여부를 조사하였다. 한약박 70%나 100%에서 느타리버섯을 재배할 때 질병이 생겨 고사되는 버섯의 수도 적었고, 성장속도도 빨라서 수확량도 많았다. 폐면과 펠릿을 이용한 대조군과 한약박을 배지에서 재배한 처리군들의 HPLC chromatogram에 차이를 전혀 나타내지 않았고 지표물질로 사용한 glycyrrhizin이 전혀 검출되지 않았다. 즉, 한약박의 성분 자체가 그대로 전이되지는 않았고, 한약박에 함유된 성분을 영양소로 이용하여 버섯의 품질을 향상시켰다. 한약박을 70%나 100%를 사용한 배지에서 재배된 느타리버섯의 저장성이 향상되어 저장기간 동안 중량 감소가 가장 적었고, 갓과 자루의 경도의 저하도 가장 적었다. 그러나 외관의 품질을 나타내 주는 색도의 변화는 배지 종류에 영향이 적었다. 결론적으로 한약박을 70% 이상을 배지로 사용하였을 때 한약성분의 직접적인 전이는 없어서 버섯의 상품성을 저하시키지 않았으며 성장률이 빠르며 수확률도 많았고, 조직이 치밀하여 저장성도 향상시켰다. 그러므로 한약박을 느타리버섯뿐만 아니라 여러 종류의 버섯 재배에 활용하는 것이 필요하겠다.

병풀(Centella asiatica L. Urban)은 피부상처의 치료제 등의 원료로 해마다 해외 수입량은 증가하고 있으나 국내의 자생하는 Centella asiatica종의 조사 및 재배에 관한 연구는 극히 미진하다. 따라서 본 연구는 경상남도 합천의 농가에서 재배중인 국내 자생종인 병풀에 대하여 항균성, 항염증 등을 조사하고, 피부의 상처 및 노화와 관련된 미백효능과 주름개선효과 등에 관한 기초 실험을 수행한 결과 항균 및 항염증 효능은 메탄올 추출물 그리고 미백효능은 물로 추출한 경우에 가장 높은 효능을 확인 할 수 있었으며 보다 상세하게 설명하면 다음과 같다. 7종의 세균과 1종의 곰팡이에 대하여 50% 메탄올로 추출한 병풀 추출물을 처리한 결과 대부분의 세균들은 대조군으로 처리한 오미자 추출물군과 비교하여 유사하거나 낮은 수준의 유의한 항균력을 나타내었으나 S. pyogenes은 유일하게 병풀추출물에서만 항균력을 보였다. 곰팡이인 C. albicans는 병풀과 오미자 모두의 처리에 대하여 항균활성을 확인 할 수가 없었다. Raw 264.7세포를 이용한 항염증효능을 조사한 결과 50%메탄올로 추출한 추출물을 농도별로 처리한 결과 대조구에 비하여 50% 이상의 산화질소 생성량이 감소함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 한편 B16F10세포주를 이용한 미백효능을 조사한 결과에서는 물로 추출한 추출물을 처리한 결과 대조구에 비하여 멜라닌의 농도가 약 20%까지 감소하였음을 확인하였다. NHDF세포를 이용하여 병풀추출물을 처리한 결과 주름개선효능의 지표에 해당하는 MMP-1의 급격한 감소율을 나타내는 처리농도(400 ppm)를 확인하였으나 강한 세포독성도 동시에 확인이 되어 향후 추가연구가 필요한 것으로 조사되었다.

The principal objective of was to assess the effects of herb extracts on the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of Maejakgwa. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents were found to be the highest by a significant degree in the rosemary, lavender, thyme, lemon balm and olive samples, in order. With regard to electron donating ability, increasing concentrations of added herbs resulted in a more significant rise in the DPPH radical scavenging effect in a range of concentrations of between $100{\sim}1000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. In particular, the rosemary, lavender, and thyme samples were shown to be lower in antioxidant activity than ascorbic acid, but higher than a-tocopherol, thus the antioxidant activities detected in the rosemary, lavender, and thyme samples were considered to be excellent. With regard to reducing ability, increases in the concentration of added herb extract resulted in significant growth. However, the anti-oxidative activity detected in the rosemary extract was indicated to be superior even to that of $\alpha$-tocopherol when added to concentrations of $500{\sim}1,000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. In our assessment of external appearance, color, flavor, texture, and overall quality, the highest preference was seen in the control group and in the group with 2% added rosemary extract. The lowest score was earned in the group with a 5% addition of rosemary. The functional ingredients and antioxidant activities of the samples were excellent. Our results appear to indicate that rosemary has some value as a natural antioxidant that can prevent oxidation in food.

Objective: This study investigated the effect of purified medical herb extracts such as Alisma canaliculatum and Polyporus umbellatuson adipogenic differentiation of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal stem cells (hBMSCs). Methods: Two different medical herb were extracted using hot distilled water. The optimal concentration of extracts were fixed at 100 ng/ml by means of cell viability and cytotoxic assay. To test the adipogenic differentiation ability of extracts, we induced the adipogenesis of hBMSCs for 21 days. At day 5, the cell was harvested to check mRNA and protein expression level of adipogenic related factors. The efficacy of lipid droplet formation was evaluated using the oil-red O staining method at days 21. Results: Two different medical herb extracts have no toxicity on hBMSCs. And two different medical herb extracts significantly decreased formation of lipid droplet compared with control groups in hBMSCs. The A. canaliculatum extract group showed the lowest mRNA and protein expression level of adipossgenic related transcription factors. This data suggests that extract of A. canaliculatum and P. umbellata decrease the adipogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that water-extract of A. canaliculatum and P. umbellata will be useful therapeutic reagents for prevention of obesity related disease such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, and osteoporosis.
