본 연구는 추출처리 방법별 스테비아 추출물의 항산화능을 비교하기 위하여 수행되었다. 스테비아 추출물은 열수(HWE), 발효(FHWE) 및 감압(VE)추출의 처리과정을 통하여 추출되었다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능과 환원력(FRAP) 및 지방산화 억제능을 통하여 알아본 항산화능의 평가는 감압처리되어 추출된 스테비아 추출물(VE)의 경우 그 활성이 가장 높게 관찰되었으며, 3가지 추출물 모두, 동일 농도에서 stevia의 주요한 활성성분인 stevioside와 rebaudioside보다 항산화활성이 월등히 높게 관찰되었다. 이러한 항산화능의 증가에 관한 이유를 알아보기 위하여 총 phenolic compounds의 함량을 측정한 결과 감압(VE) 추출물에서 유의적으로 높게 관찰되었다. 따라서 감압(VE) 처리 방법은 항산화 활성이 증진된 스테비아 추출물을 얻기 위한 효과적인 처리공정이라 사료된다.

The result of the study about the cultivation, the constituents, the sweetenity, and the development of preparations of Stevia and Hydrangea are as follows: 1. Hydrangea thrived at $200{\sim}1,400m$ above the sea-level, and the good ones were brought up at $600{\sim}1,200m$. 2. The good ones which belonged to the genera of Hydrangea were produced in the damp, dark and cold place. 3. The growth and cultivated yield of Stevia was not significantly influenced by the acidity of the soil. 4. The best season was May and June for propagation of Stevia by cutting method. 5. The growth rate of Stevia and Hydrangea was really good in the sandy fertile soil, but in the mucotic soil it was not suitable. 6. The extraction and separation of phyllodulcin by solvent had many difficulties, because it was very soluble in water, ethanol, ether, petroleum ether, acetone and benzene, etc. 7. The solubility of stevioside on the solvent was as follows: It was very soluble in water and methanol, slightly soluble in ethanol and acetone, and insoluble in ether, petroleum ether and chloroform. 8. The alkaloid reaction by Mayer reagent in Hydrangea extract was positive. 9. The ashification rate of Stevia was 8.66% to 8.72% and that of Hydrangea 17.02% to 17.04%. 10. The tannin of Stevia leaf was 7.80% to 7.88% and its of Hydrangea decreased 9.46% to 6.08% by fermentation. 11. The percent rates in minimum concentration-occurring sweetness in sugar, glycyrrhiza methanol extract, Hydrangea water extract, Stevia leaf water extract, decoction of Stevia's leaf, decoction of Stevia's stem were as follows: 1.2, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.01, 0.1, 0.6. and sweetenity ratios of those were 1, 12, 12, 6, 3, 64, 12, 2, 12. It was very meaningful to develop preparations of stevia as stevioside, micronized powder, water extract, methanol extract and compound teas and in Hydrangea, water extract, methanol extract, single tea, and compound teas were less meaningful. 13. The genera of Hydrangea which is natural species in Korea was positive in phyllodulcin-identification test, but it was not available to make the sweet tea because of having a little content.

To investigate the effects of the supplementation of Stevia. Rebaudian Bertoni on serum and hepatic lipid levels and enzyme activities in rat administered with ethanol chronically. Sprague-Dawley male rats were orally treated with either an AIN-76 diet(C, control), a control diet plus ethanol(E, 4g/kg bw), E plus stevia extract-1(ES1, 1ml/kg bw), or E plus stevia extract-2(ES2, 2ml/kg bw) for 7 weeks. Serum triglyceride levels were increased in the E group and were decreased in the ES 1 group. Liver triglyceride levels were decreased significantly in the ES2 groups and Total-cholesterol were decreased in the ES1, ES2 groups compared with the E group. Liver $\gamma-GTP$ levels were decreased significantly in the ES1, ES2 groups compared with the E group. In addition, we have evaluated the serum or liver carnitine levels in those groups. Liver TCNE levels were increased significantly in the ES1, ES2 compared with the E group. These results may suggest that supplementation of Stevia. Rebaudian Bertoni has effects on the recovery of chronic ethanol-related diseases.

Stevia rebaudiana (Asteraceae), a perennial plant, has been used as a low-calorie sweetener and is being developed as a therapeutic agent for diabetes, hypertension, myocardial diseases, and microbial infections. Despite the common use of its leaves and stem, the bioavailability of the components present in S. rebaudiana flowers, when used as ingredients of cosmetics, has not been well investigated. Herein, we investigated the antioxidative and antimelanogenic effects of an aqueous extract of S. rebaudiana flowers (Stevia-F). Total flavonoid and phenolic content in Stevia-F were determined to be $8.64{\pm}0.23mg$ of quercetin equivalents/100 g and $631.5{\pm}2.01mg$ of gallic acid equivalents/100 g, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ values of Stevia-F for reducing power, and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate radical, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric oxide scavenging activities were 5541.96, 131.39, 466.34, and $10.44{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Stevia-F showed inhibitory effects on the tyrosinase ($IC_{50}=134.74{\mu}g/mL$) and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase ($IC_{50}=114.81{\mu}g/mL$) activities. No significant cytotoxicity of Stevia-F was observed in B16F10 cells, treated with up to $100{\mu}g/mL$ of the extract for 24 and 48 h (p > 0.05). Stevia-F ($1-100{\mu}g/mL$) suppressed ${\alpha}$-melanocyte stimulating hormone-induced melanin production in B16F10 cells (p < 0.05) and also inhibited the cellular tyrosinase activity (p < 0.05). Overall, our results show that Stevia-F possesses potential for inhibiting tyrosinase and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activities and has significant antioxidant capacity. The antimelanogenic potential of Stevia-F should extend the usage of S. rebaudiana flowers in the development of skin-whitening products.

In this study, the fermentation and quality characteristics of Greek-style yogurt supplemented with stevia leaf extract during storage were examined. Stevia leaf extract was extracted from dried leaves with hot water and 70% ethanol. The pH decreased significantly in all samples over time during fermentation (p<0.05). In particular, the sharpest decrease was detected in the group in which the hot water extract of stevia was added. Acidity increased significantly over time during fermentation (p<0.05). Lactic acid bacteria counts increased in all samples up to 9 h after the start of fermentation, but decreased after 12 h. The sugar content decreased over time, and there were no major differences between samples. Based on the results of a sensory evaluation, the group treated with stevia extract was rated high in sweetness, but was rated somewhat low in color and flavor. Accordingly, it was rated low in overall acceptability. In a storability experiment, as the days of storage increased, the pH gradually decreased, and acidity showed a tendency to increase. The sugar content showed a tendency to decrease and then increase.

본 연구는 열수 추출과 에탄올 추출법으로 추출한 스테비아 추출물을 그릭 요거트에 당으로 0.5%, 1% 비율로 첨가하여 DPPH, ABTS 라디칼 소거능과 FRAP 측정법을 통해 환원력을 측정하여 항산화능을 비교하고 총 폴리페놀 함량을 측정하기 위하여 수행되었다. 대조군에 비해 스테비아 잎 추출물을 첨가하였을 때 항산화능이 증가하였고 열수 추출물보다 에탄올 추출물을 첨가하였을 때 더 항산화능이 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 총 폴리페놀 함량 또한 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 그릭 요거트 에스테비아 잎 추출물을 첨가하여 항산화 기능성이 함유된 발효유로서 에탄올 추출법이 효과적이라 사료된다.

Stevia rebaudiana is a traditional herb used as a sweetener in Brazil and Paraguay as well as Korea and China. This study investigated the efficacy of Stevia rebaudiana methanol extract (SRE) to protect cells against the mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in hepatocyte. To determine the effects of SRE on oxidative stress, we used the human derived hepatocyte cell line, HepG2 cell. Treatment of arachidonic acid (AA)+iron in HepG2 cells synergistically amplified cytotoxicity, as indicated by the excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial permeability transition by fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) and immunoblot analysis. Treatment with SRE protected hepatocytes from AA+iron-induced cellular toxicity, as shown by alterations in the protein levels related with cell viability such as procaspase-3. SRE also prevented the mitochondrial dysfunction induced by AA+iron, and showed anti-oxidant effects as inhibition of $H_2O_2$ production and GSH depletion. Moreover, we measured the effects of SRE on AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key regulator in determining cell survival or death. Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACC), a direct downstream target of AMPK. SRE increased phosphorylation of ACC, and prevented the inhibition of ACC phosphorylation by AA+iron. These results indicated that SRE has the ability to protect cells against AA+iron-induced $H_2O_2$ production and mitochondrial impairment, which may be mediated with AMPK-ACC pathway.
