The antimicrobial effect of each fraction after fractionation of an ethanol extract of leaf mustard was examined in terms of nucleic acid, chloroform, ethylacetate, and butanol. The ethylacetate fraction, which showed the strongest level of antimicrobial effect among the different ethanol extract fractions of leaf mustard, was isolated and purified using silica gel column chromatography and HPLC, respectively, to obtain a single antimicrobial substance called KLM-1. The antimicrobial effect of this substance was 10 times higher than that of the ethylacetate fraction. A further study is on the way to confirm the structure of the antimicrobial substance KLM-1 through LC/Mass and NMR.

In vitro cytotoxicity and antioxidative effects of water extracts prepared from Mustard Leaf Kimchi (MLK) during its fermentation period were investigated. The cytotoxicity against HepG2 (human hepatic cancer) by water extracts from the well fermented Mustard Leaf Kimchi was higher than others (fermented for 0 to 6 days at 18$^{\circ}C$), and IC50 of water extracts at the points of 6, 8, 10, and 14days during fermentation were 213.4, 99.2, 99.9, and 109.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/ml, respectively. Antioxidative activity of water extracts from MLK during various fermentation periods was higher than that of blank distilled water. However, the antioxidative activity of well-fermented water extracts of MLK (fermented for 8-14 days) did not show any difference from that of others (fermented for 2-6 days). Thus, water extracts of well-fermented MLK (fermented during 8-14 days) significantly inhibited the growth of cancer cells in vitro, but little antioxidative activity was influenced by the various fermentation periods.

Mustard Leaf Kimchi (MLK) is a traditional fermented Korean vegetable food. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of part vacuum treatment on MLK packed in a glass bottle during fermentation. There have been a few previous studies that examined the chemical and microbial changes during MLK fermentation. However, the major object of this study was to investigate the antioxidative activities of vacuum treated MLK. In this study, the antioxidative activity of vacuum treated mustard leaf Kimchi (VM) and control mustard leaf Kimchi (CM) were examined. VM and CM were fermented at $5^{\circ}C$ for 8 weeks. A model system was designed to evaluate the antioxidative activity of crude chlorophylls and carotenoids (CCC) extracts from Mustard leaf Kimchi. The oxidative reaction of the linoleic acid mixture system at $30^{\circ}C$ in the dark was quantified determining the peroxide value and conjugated dienoic acid content. The effect of the CCC extracts on lipid peroxidation in a rat liver homogenate was examined. Formation of lipid peroxides was estimated by the TBA value, and the CCC extracts were found to inhibit the TBA value. Chlorophyll a and b, and carotenoids, Which are the major components in the CCC extracts of Kimchi were isolated on a DEAE-sepharose CL-6B and Sepharose CL-6B column and TLC. The effects of chlorophyll a and b, caroteins on linoleic acid autoxidation were measured by determining the peroxide value. In addition, their effects on free radical scavenging were investigated by DPPH. In this assay, chlorophyll a showed the greatest antioxidative activity followed by chlorophyll b, and carotenoids. MLK contains a sufficient content of chlorophyll a and b, and carotenoid which have strong antioxidative activities.

Changes in the concentrations of glucosinolates and related compounds in different extracts of Dolsan leaf mustard kimchi (DLMK) and Dolsan leaf mustard pickles (DLMP) were during storage investigated. Samples were kept at 0oC for 35 days and collected at 7 day intervals. The leaves and stems of DLMK and DLMP were refluxed for 24 h with 50% acetonitrile, and the extracts were analyzed by LC-PDA/MS/MS. The main glucosinolates detected in DLMK were sinigrin, gluconapoleiferin, glucobrassicanapin, and gluconapin, whereas those in DLMP were sinigrin, gluconapoleiferin, glucobrassicanapin, glucobrassicin, and glucoerucin. Sinigrin concentrations were quantified by UV absorption at 228 nm. Sinigrin concentrations in the leaves and stems of DLMK on the day of preparation were 2.14 mg/g and 2.25 mg/g, respectively, and those on day 35 after preparation were 1.25 mg/g and 1.00 mg/g, respectively. DLMP showed a similar trend: the concentrations in the leaves and stems on the day of preparation were 2.04 mg/g and 0.29 mg/g, respectively, whereas those on day 35 after preparation were 0.59 mg/g and 0.41 mg/g, respectively. Thus, sinigrin concentrations decreased during storage.

This study aims to examine the optimum blanching conditions as a pretreatment condition to improve the storage stability of Dolsan leaf mustard pickle. The effects of the blan- ching temperature and time were investigated at a temperature range of $80-100^{\circ}C$. Sampling was done for 1 month after a 5 days interval. The L value of the Dolsan leaf mustard was found to be the highest at $80^{\circ}C$. The cutting force increased as the blanching temperature increased. The tensile strength decreased at $95^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$. In addition, the sensory evaluation scores were the best at $80^{\circ}C$. The storage stability was assessed at various blanching temperatures to increase the sinigrin content during storage. Liquid chromatography with photodiode array and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-PDA/MS/MS) analysis was conducted to identify and quantify the sinigrin content in the Dolsan leaf mustard. Sinigrin as an internal standard was co-injected into each sample solution. The sample was monitored by recording the ultraviolet absorbance at 228 nm and by electrospray ionization (ESI) positive ion mode in the m/z 50-1,500 range. Blanching the sample at $80^{\circ}C$ showed the highest sinigrin concentration during storage among various temperatures and the maximum concentration was 350 ppm at 15 days storage. Study on utilization of vegetable from food processing of leaf mustard and preservation conservation results suggest that blanching at $80^{\circ}C$ is expected to improve the palatability of the pickle.

This study was conducted to estimate the content of antioxidant components and investigate the antioxidative activity of mustard leaf kimchi added pumpkin powder (P) and green tea powder (G). Mustard leaf kimchi added different ratios of P and G were prepared and fermented for 30 days at 5$^{\circ}C$ (properly fermented time). The contents of chlorophyll, total phenol, carotenoids and ascorbic acid in mustard leaf kimchi samples were estimated. The 30 day fermented mustard leaf kimchi added 0.3% P and 0.2% G had relatively higher content of antioxidant components than the other kimchi samples. Based on this result, antioxidative activities of mustard leaf kimchi added 0.3% P and 0.2% G and control kimchi were investigated, that is, methanol extracts of the mustard leaf kimchi samples were prepared and investigated the antioxidative activities. The antioxidative activity of mustard leaf kimchi added 0.3% P and 0.2% G was significantly (p<0,05) higher than control kimchi, and that of the 30 day fermented mustard leaf kimchi at 5$^{\circ}C$ was also significantly higher (p<0.05) than the fresh mustard leaf kimchi. Therefore, it is suggested that antioxidative activity of the 30 day fermented mustard leaf kimchi added 0.3% P and 0.2% G at 5$^{\circ}C$ was the best compared to the other kimchi samples.

The aims of this study was to optimize the extraction conditions of sinigrin from Dolsan leaf mustard. Dolsan leaf mustard (Dolsan-eup, Yeosu-si) harvested during at May 2014 was used for sinigrin extraction. After the extraction of sinigrin using 50% $CH_3CN$, 10% $NH_4Cl$, 60% $CH_2OH$, and 70% $CH_3OH$, the sinigrin content was measured by HPLC analysis. The results showed that sinigrin content was highest with 50% $CH_3CN$ solvent extraction and UV detector sensitivity was greater at 228 nm rather than at 242 nm. The sinigrin concentrations of leaf, stem and root with 50% $CH_3CN$ extraction were 345 ppm, 728 ppm, and 539 ppm, respectively. After extraction of the different parts of Dolsan leaf mustard, The standard retention time by HPLC analysis of sinigrin content was 2.054, 2.032, 2.059, and 2.035 min from the root, stalk, and leaf, respectively. On the other hand, HPLC analysis showed that the leaf extracts contained glucoraphanin, one of glucosinolates. The optimum time and extraction solvent for the sinigrin extraction from Dolsan leaf mustard was found to be 24 hr with 50% $CH_3CN$ solvent. In addition, opotimum UV detector k at 228 nm. These results showed that the optimum extraction conditions for Dolsan leaf mustard were 24 hr extraction with 50% $CH_3CN$ solvent. In addition, the optimum wavelength of UV detector was determined to be 228 nm for sinigrin analysis. Therefore, this study could provide a useful information for sinigrin extraction and its systematic analysis during the storage.

The compositions of non-volatile organic acids, mineral, fiber and fatty acids of leaf mustard were investigated. Non-volatile organic acid contents were higher in leaf than in leaf stalk. Of non-volatile organic acids assayed malic acid was the most abundant in both leaf (79.1 mg%) and leaf stalk (46.4mg%), followed by L-ascorbic, oxalic, citric and succinic acids. Mineral contents were also higher in leaf than in leaf stalk. Both leaf and leaf stalk contained calcium most, followed by magnesium, sodium, iron, zinc and copper. It has also been found that leaf mustard contains more iron than any other Cruciferous vegetables reported. The major fatty acid of total lipid was $\alpha$-linolenir acid (63.2% in leaf, 55.3% in leaf stalk). The ratios of polyun-saturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids (P/S ratio) were 4.1 in leaf and 2.9 in leaf stalk. The content of pectic substances, in terms of alcohol-insoluble solid, of leaf was 9.4% which was 1.4-fold higher than that of leaf stalk. Of pectic substances, hot soluble pectins (HWSP) were present most and followed by sodium hexametaphosphate soluble (HXSP) and HCI soluble pectins (HSP). Total dietary fiber content of mustard leaf was 2.68% and in general, higher content of total dietary fiber than leaf had. Neutral detergent fiber content was higher than acid detergent fiber, and cellulose was higher than hemicellulose by 2.1-fold in leaf stalk.
