As a search for natural antioxidants, antioxidative fractions in pueraria root were extracted and identified using column chromatography, thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. Components which have most effective antioxidative activities were futher identified by IR and GC/MS. The strongest antioxidative component of pueraria root methanol extract was identified as puerarin. Puerarin obtained from pueraria root was practically effective as antioxidant at the level of 100 ppm. Antioxidative activity of the puerarin was higher in linoleic acid-water system than in a linoleic acid substrate. Puerarin, daidzin and daidzein contents in pueraria root juice were 0.39%, 0.45% and 0,03%, respectively.

Effects of tocopherols and $\beta$-carotene on the oxidation of the solid model system of a free fatty acid mixture (64.5% of linolic acid ; 26.4% of oleic acid ; 5.0% of palmitic acid) with tocopherols and $\beta$-carotene were studied. $\alpha$-tocopherol revealed an antioxidant activity at the concentration below 0.05%, however, it showed a prooxidant activity when the concentration was higher than 0.05%. The antioxidant activity of ${\gamma}$ -tocopherol was not affected by the concentrations in the range of 0.01~0.10% in the model and ${\gamma}$-tocopherol showed higher antioxidant activity than that of $\alpha$-tocopherol. It seemed that $\alpha$-tocopherol was unstable compared to ${\gamma}$-tocopherol during oxidation. $\beta$-carotene showed a weak antioxidative activity at the initial stage of this system while $\beta$-carotene showed a prooxidant activity in the presence of tocopherol. $\beta$ -carotene was highly susceptible to autoxidative degradation during oxidation.

The antioxidant effects of 700 ppm ginseng extract, 100ppm caffeic acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, or ${\alpha}-topherol$ on the 1% linoleic acid aqueous buffer system was studied by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) and headspace oxygen. The compounds showed antioxidant activities in the following order: $caffeic\;acid{\geq}ferulic\;acid\;>\;{\alpha}-tocopherol$>ginseng extract>vanillic acid, with the oxidation inhibition ratio of 63.5, 62.9, 52.3, 51.2 and 5.6% of the control according to MDA results. The mixture of 100 ppm caffeic acid, 100 ppm ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and 700 ppm ginseng extract had a high oxidation inhibition ratio of 91.2%. Headspace oxygen results had a similar trend with the MDA results. Headspace oxygen results showed that the antioxidant activities were in order of ferulic acid>caffeic acid>${\alpha}-tocopherol$>ginseng extract>vanillic acid and headspace oxygen contents were 18.56, 17.78, 17.17, 16.65 and 15.95%, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant activity of paprika in the lard-pork model system adding ground fresh paprika (3%) and paprika powders (5%). Paprika powders were obtained through 4 drying methods (freeze, vacuum, far infrared-ray, and hot-air). In the lard and meat-fat mixture (containing lard 30%) containing paprika powders, the rate of increase in the peroxide value (POV) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value decreased notably during the refrigerated storage ($4^{\circ}C$) compared to the control without paprika. Therefore, paprika powders showed potent antioxidant activity and especially the freeze dried paprika powder revealed the most effective activity among them. However, its antioxidant activity was still lower than that of the fresh paprika because the addition of fresh paprika in the lard and meat-fat mixture merely increased the POV and TBA value. In linoleic acid oxidation, the addition of capsanthin 500 ppm to mixed linoleic acid and 10 ppm of $FeCl_3$ (LF) inhibited the formation of peroxides by 15.2% compared to LF, showing its iron scavenging ability. When mixed antioxidants (${\beta}$-carotene 200 ppm + ascorbic acid 100 ppm, capsanthin 200 ppm + ascorbic acid 100 ppm) were added in LF, synergistic effects were obtained with 57.7 and 60.4% of inhibition of peroxide formation, respectively.

The antioxidant activity of Chrysanthemum indicum L. extract (CIL) was investigated by fermenting lactic acid bacteria with the CIL from 64% and 80% ethanol extraction and measuring the total phenolic contents (TPC), flavonoid, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), reducing power (RP), and linoleic acid auto-oxidation inhibitory activity. CIL was confirmed to inhibit bacterial auto-oxidation. TPC was increased in strains 3109 and 3237, while flavonoid decreased in all strains. DPPH was increased in strains 3074 and 3109 fermented with 64% CIL and all the strains with 80% CIL. RP was increased and linoleic acid auto-oxidation inhibitory activity decreased in all the strains fermented with 64% or 80% CIL. Among the 4 strains, strain 3109 had the highest DPPH and RP; thus, it was most effective in increasing CIL's antioxidant efficacy through the fermentation process.

Adenophora remotiflora (Mosidae) is a perennial plant in the Campanulaceae family and a wild plant that only inhabits in Korea. This research analyzed the volatile compounds in Mosidae and their antioxidant activities. The volatile compounds in fresh, shady air-dried, and freeze-dried Mosidae were isolated by steam-distillation extraction (SDE) method using diethylether as a solvent. Volatile compounds were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Antioxidant activities were determined using the linoleic acid system and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Sixty and seventy-two volatile compounds were identified from fresh and shady air-dried Mosidae, respectively. In fresh Mosidae, the most abundant compounds were ethyl acetate and heptyl acetate, while ethyl acetate and limonene were the most abundant in the shady air-dried sample. Inhibition of peroxide formation by fresh Mosidae was higher than that of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, and inhibition by shady air-dried Mosidae was same as that of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. Furthermore, volatile compounds from shady air-dried Mosidae had higher free radical scavenging activity than ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. The freeze-dried sample showed lower antioxidant activity in both the linoleic acid system and DPPH method.

We evaluated the antioxidant activity and tyrosinase inhibitory effects of Pleurotus ostreatus fruiting bodies extracted with acetone, methanol, and hot water. The antioxidant activities were tested against $\beta$-carotene-linoleic acid, reducing power, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging activity, and ferrous chelating ability. Furthermore, phenolic acid and flavonoid contents were also analyzed. The methanol extract showed the strongest $\beta$-carotene-linoleic acid inhibition as compared to the other exracts. The acetone extract (8 mg/mL) showed a significantly high reducing power of 1.54 than the other extracts. The acetone extract was more effective than other extracts for scavenging on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals. The strongest chelating effect (85.66%) was obtained from the acetone extract at 1.0 mg/mL. The antioxidant activities of the extracts from the P. ostreatus fruiting bodies increased with increasing concentration. A high performance liquid chromatography analysis detected seven phenolic compounds, including gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic acid, naringenin, hesperetin, formononetin, and biochanin-A in an acetonitrile and 0.1 N hydrochloric acid (5 : 1) solvent extract. The total phenolic compound concentration was $188{\mu}g$/g. Tyrosinase inhibition of the acetone, methanol, and hot water P. ostreatus extracts increased with increasing concentration. The results revealed that the methanol extract had good tyrosinase inhibitory ability, whereas the acetone and hot water extracts showed moderate activity at the concentrations tested. The results suggested that P. ostreatus may have potential as a natural antioxidant.

Methanol extract and solvent fractions of Aster scaber Thunb. were tested to elucidate antioxidative characteristics in vitro. Methanol extract showed strong inhibition on linoleic acid autoxidation and conjugated diene production. Hexane and diethyl ether fractions showed stronger chelating effect on $10^{-4}M\;FeCl_3$ than the other fractions. Butanol fraction had the strongest capacity on $10^{-3}M\;CuSO_4$ similar to ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. Synergistic effect of butanol fraction with histidine, methionine, and lysine on linoleic acid autoxidation had been observed. Contents of total phenol, vitamin E, vitamin C, and carotenoid were evaluated. From the results, Aster scaber Thunb. could be expected to play a role as an antioxidant in vivo.

The study was designed to observe antioxidant activities of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) by determining antioxidant enzyme protein levels [cytochrome P4502 El (CYP2E1), Copper, Zinc-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD), glutathione peroxidase (CSH-Px), glutathione S-transferase (GST)] by Western blot analysis and the levels of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol and 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in the liver of chronically ethanol-treated rats. Sixty Sprague Dawley male rats were divided into 3 groups (Control, EtOH, EtOH+CLA). All rats were fed Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet for 4 weeks by pair-feeding against the EtOH group. The liquid diet was supplemented with 1.77g CLA mixture per kg diet in the EtOH+CLA group. Isocaloric maltose dextrin was added in replace of 50g ethanol (36%kcal) for the Control group. Ethanol ingestion significantly increased the levels of CYP2E1 protein and TBARS, but significantly reduced CuZn-SOD protein level and increased GST protein level. There was no significant effect on the level of GSH-Px protein and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol in the liver by ethanol. CLA supplementation with ethanol significantly increased the levels of CuZn-SOD, GSH-Px and GST and also significantly attenuated TBARS level, whereas there was no significant effect on the levels of CYP2E1 protein and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol by CLA. Overall, the CLA supplemented to ethanol could significantly increase the levels of CuZn-SOD, GSH-Px and GST proteins and reduce the level of TBARS in the liver of chronically ethanol-treated rats.
