  • Barley (Hordeum vulgare) belongs to the Poaceae family. This study compared the polyphenol and flavonoid levels of unfermented and fermented barley sprouts using spectrophotometric assays. The findings indicated that fermentation greatly boosted the flavonoid content but caused only a slight increase in the polyphenol content. However, this does not imply that fermentation has no effects whatsoever on the polyphenol content of barley sprouts. This was due to the fact that some flavonoids cannot be detected by the wavelength used to calculate the overall polyphenol concentration. Both samples were subjected to high-performance liquid chromatography analysis and detected the flavonoids lutonarin, saponarin, isoorientin, isovitexin, and tricin-all of which have bioactive properties-most notably known for their antioxidant activity. These results augment the ongoing phytochemical profiling research and can possibly valorize the already thriving barley industry.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the potential of polyphenols and polyphenol oxidase activity on the induction of rusty symptom development in ginseng root. When rusty inducing bacteria were inoculated on fresh ginseng root, the hue value of the inoculated root increased from 101.2 (white yellow) at 1 day after innoculation to 60.9 (brownish red) at 30 days after innoculation. Lysobacter gummosus, Pseudomonas veronii and Agrobacterium tumefaciens enhanced the accumulation of total phenolics. Along with the increase of total phenolics, total activity of polyphenol oxidase concomitantly increased but the specific activity of the enzyme was not.

  • Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the family Urticaceae. It was used in folk remedies for diuretic or anti-pyretic purposes and as an hepatoprotective, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammation agent. In this study, we investigated the composition of free sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, organic acids, and total polyphenol contents in parts of ramie (root, stem, and leaf) and different harvest areas (10 areas). Overall, free sugars were found as sucrose, glucose, fructose, and galactose at concentrations ranging from 24.5 to 1173.8 mg/g. Amino acids lysine, threonine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and histidine were detected at concentrations of 33.8 to 3735.3 mg/g. Major fatty acids were linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and linolenic acid at concentrations of 7.3 to 364.4 mg/g. In organic acids, the concentration of malic acid was highest of all with 672.2 mg/g. The content of free sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, organic acids, and total polyphenol was higher in leaves than in roots and stems. In contrast, the total polyphenol content was higher in roots with 33.7 - 219.4 mg/g than in leaves or in stems. As seen in collecting region, the contents of free sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, organic acids, and total polyphenol of Bn-33, 39, 55, 65, and 90 were higher than other samples. Chemical compositions of different parts of ramie are important factors to consider in manufacturing functional foods. The results of this study provide fundamental information on the chemical compositions of ramie parts and would help develop new functional foods from ramie leaves or the whole plant.

  • Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity in 200×g (cell wall), 4,000×g (plastid), 100,000×g (mitochondrial) and soluble fractions of the perilla leaves was monitored in the upper, middle and lower sections of the plant. In the course of plant growth, PPO activities in plastid and mitochondrial fractions were decreased, while those in cell wall fraction were maintained. During growing process, specific activities and PPO activities of each fraction were decreased, while total phenol content were decreased in middle (middle) and then increased in later stage (lower). Cell wall, plastid, mitochondrial (pellet) and soluble fraction had slightly different pH optima and substrate specificities. Isoenzyme patterns were identical in two bands for PPO activity in different subcellular fractions. Their molecular weights were 37KD and 48KD respectively.

  • The results on the useful functional compounds of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) leaves cultivated in reclaimed lands and the biological activity effects of extracts were as follows. On 98 days after sowing (DAS) Tainung-2 showed the highest total chlorophyll content (1.68 mg/g), and on 141 DAS Dowling showed higher chlorophyll content (1.50 mg/g) than the other two did. In all cultivars the total chlorophyll content was higher on 141 DAS than on 98 DAS. Total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents were the highest in Tainung-2 (30.50 mg/g and 57.03 mg/g, respectively), and total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents (30.50 mg/g and 57.03 mg/g, respectively) were the highest in 30% ethanol extraction. Ascorbic acid contents were higher on 141 DAS than on 98 DAS in three cultivars. SOD activities of kenaf leaf extract were generally over 90%. DPPH radical scavenging activity of Tainung-2 was higher than others.

  • Bandiburichodang (BDC) is a new variety of Zea mays L. Total polyphenol content (TPC) assay and quantitative analysis of ferulic acid (FA) were performed to determine the steaming, roasting conditions of BDC kernels that lead to the highest content. TPC levels increased after roasting under all conditions. TPC levels in samples steamed at 115 ℃ for 25 min were 3.157 mg/g before roasted, and increased to 3.825 and 4.739 mg/g after roasting at 160 and 200 ℃, respectively. Whether BDC kernels were roasted was relevant with TPC content. BDC kernels were extracted to perform quantitative analysis of FA. Roasting temperature affected FA content: the higher the temperature, the lower the content. BDC kernels that were steamed at 115 ℃ for 25 min had 0.178 mg/g of FA content before roasting, and levels decreased to 0.132 and 0.115 mg/g after roasting. Under different roasting conditions, FA content decreased 15 to 50%. We hypothesize that this phenomenon is due to a breakdown of phenolic compounds or cell wall disruption.

  • Antioxidant activity of Astragalus membranaceus, Polygonatum stenophyllum, Angelica gigas, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus and Angelica pubescens extracts cultivated in Jecheon prepared with different solvents were determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrzyl(DPPH) radical scarvenging ability and thiocyanate method . The highest hydroxy radical scarvenging activity was shown in Acanthopanax sessiliflorus, while the lowest was in Polygonatum stenophyllum. Angelica gigas showed strong antioxidant activity by thiocyanate method. Methanol extracts and water extracts showed higher antioxidant activities than ethanol extracts. Angelica pubescens showed the highest polyphenol contents and Acanthopanax sessiliflorus showed the highest flavonoid contents. Direct correlation between the hydroxy radical scavenging activity and polyphenol contents or flavonoid contents was established by simple regression(r>0.8) in each solvent extracts. Among medicinal plants cultivated in Jecheon, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus and Angelica pubescens showed strong antioxidant activities. These results suggest that methanol or water extracts of several medicinal plant cultivated in Jecheon could be used as natural antioxidants.

  • Apple and pear are popular fruits consumed in Korea and are common fruit in daily diet. In order to compare the antioxidant activity of the apple and pear peels, total polyphenol contents, total flavonoid contents, $ABTS^+$ free radical scavenging activity, and DPPH free radical scavenging activity were measured from hot water, ethanol, and methanol extracts of the two fruit peels. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were highest in 95% methanol extracts of the apple peelsand 70% ethanol extract of the pear peels, respectively. Total polyphenol contents of the pear peels were higher than that of apple peels, and total flavonoid contents of the apple peels were higher than that of pear peels. The apple and pear peels had the highest $ABTS^{+{\cdot}}$ and DPPH free radical scavenging activity in 95% methanol extracts and 70% ethanol extracts, respectively. $ABTS^{+{\cdot}}$ and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of pear peels was higher than that of apple peels, and the DPPH free radical scavenging activity of apple and pear peels were detected in hot water, 95% methanol, and 70% ethanol extracts, respectively. Ascorbic acid, a synthetic antioxidant used as positive control, had significantly higher scavenging activity than the apple and pear peels. In conclusion, the apple and pear peelshave great potential as natural antioxidants. Therefore, above results should be considered to provide the possibility for the development of high functional antioxidants.

  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used in a wide array of researches in plant molecular genetics and breeding. However, considerable time and cost are still required for the preparation of DNA suitable for reliable PCR results, especially in plant species containing high amounts of polyphenols. To reduce time and effort for PCR-based analysis, a simplified but reliable method was developed by a combinational employment of a simple and fast DNA extraction procedure and BLOTTO (Bovine Lacto Transfer Technique Optimizer) in reaction mixture. Genomic DNAs prepared by one-step extraction method from recalcitrant plant species such as Rubus coreanus, apple, grape and lettuce were successfully amplified by random primers in the reaction mixture containing 2 to 4% BLOTTO. Successful amplification of ${\gamma}$-TMT transgene in lettuce transformants by the specific primers was also achieved in the same condition, making rapid screening of positive transformants possible. Our results suggest that use of a simple DNA extraction procedure and incorporation of BLOTTO in reaction mixture in combination can reduce time and effort required for the analyses of a large number of germplasms and transformants by PCR-based techniques.
