In this study, the quality characteristics of cheonggukjang with addition of different quinoa were investigated. We evaluated the quality and sensory characteristics of cheonggukjang, including the pH, amino nitrogen, slime contents, color value, and total aerobic bacteria. Moreover, The anti-oxidant activities were measured as total polyphenol content, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The pH and amino nitrogen content were noted to significantly increase during the fermentation period in all the samples. The slime content of cheonggukjang added with quinoa increased with increased fermentation time, but cheonggukjang with addition of 20% of quinoa was decreased. The L value and b value decreased significantly with increased fermentation time, but the a value increased significantly. The microbial tests of cheonggukjang with addition of quinoa showed that the aerobic micro-organisms count was 7.45~9.10 Log cfu/g. Total polyphenol contents increased in all groups during the fermentation period, and activity increased with an increased percentage of added quinoa. The DPPH radical scavenging activity and SOD-like activity of cheonggukjang (with addition of quinoa) were also significantly higher than those of the control. The sensory quality of quinoa 10% cheonggukjang was stronger in flavor, and taste, and demonstrated a higher level of overall acceptability, when compared to the other groups.

쑥갓의 항산화 활성을 알아보기 위해 쑥갓 총 메탄올추출물의 아질산염 소거작용과 SOD 유사활성을 측정하였다. 아질산염 소거작용과 SOD 유사활성을 가지고 있는 총 메탄올 추출물로부터 클로로포름, n-부탄올 및 물 분획물을 제조하여 각각의 활성을 측정하였다. pH가 1.5일 때의 클로로포름 분획물의 $IC_{50}$값은 39ppm으로 가장 우수한 아질산염 소거작용을 보였으며, vitamin C와 chlorogenic acid의 $IC_{50}$값이 15ppm과 36ppm일 때 클로로포름 분획물은 양성대조군인 chlorogenic acid와 동등한 소거작용을 보였다. 아질산염 소거작용에 대하여 유의성 있게 높은 활성을 나타낸 클로로포름 분획물을 silica gel 컬럼크로마토그래피와 sephadex LH-20 컬럼크로마토그래피를 이용하여 분획의 활성성분인 compound I을 분리하였다. 분리된 compound를 $^{1}H-NMR$과 $^{13}C-NMR$ spectral data를 통하여 구조를 동정한 결과 compound I은 ${\beta}-sitosterol-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$임을 확인하였다. Compound I과 그 aglycone인 ${\beta}-sitosterol$의 아질산염 소거작용과 SOD 유사활성은 다소 차이가 있었다. 양성대조군으로 사용한 vitamin C와 chlorogenic acid의 $IC_{50}$값이 pH 1.5에서 각각 15ppm과 36ppm일때 compound I의 $IC_{50}$값이 335ppm, ${\beta}-sitosterol$의 $IC_{50}$값이 41ppm으로 가수분해된 aglycone이 아질산염 소거작용이 훨씬 높았다. SOD 유사활성의 경우 vitamin C와 chlorogenic acid의 $EC_{50}$ 값은 38ppm, 449ppm으로 이와 비교시 ${\beta}-sitosterol$과 배당체의 $EC_{50}$ 값은 1,291ppm과 2,000ppm 이상으로 나타났다.

Objective：Gagam-Gongjin-dan (GGD) is an oriental medicinal prescription composited with Cervi parvum Cornu, Corni Fructus, Angelica Gigantis Radix, Lycii Fructus, Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Citri Pericarpium, Gastrodiae Rihzoma, Agastachis Herba, Cassiae cortex, Scutellariae Radix and Schisandrae Fructus. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of GGD extract against acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury in mice. Methods：GGD extract was prepared by extracting with methanol for 7 days. The extract was freeze-dried following filtration through vacuum distillation system. The first, we investigated the antioxidant effects of GGD extract on electronic donating ability (DPPH), nitrite (NO) scavenging and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity. The next, we investigated the possible hepatoprotective effect of GGD extract administration against acetaminophen-induced liver injury in mice. Mice were orally administrated with or without GGD extract of different doses (25-100 mg/kg/day) one times per day for 6 days. After 3 days, APAP was orally applied with a single dose (400 mg/kg). Results：GGD extract increased DPPH, NO and SOD-like activities in dose dependant. APAP treatment significantly increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities in plasma. Also, APAP treatment significantly evaluated lipid peroxidation product thiobarbituric reacting substances (TBARS) and depleted some antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, d-aminolevulinate dehydratase and gluthathione peroxidase activities) in liver homogenates compared to the control group. However, the orally administration of GGD extract was able to counteract these effects. Histological studies provided supportive evidence for biochemical analysis Conclusions：These results suggest that GGD extract has a potential antioxidant and hepatoprotective effect against APAP-induced liver injury, these properties may contribute to liver disease care.

본 연구는 배양 C6 glioma 세포를 대상으로 초산납(lead acetate, LA)의 신경독성을 알아보았으며, 또한 LA의 세포독성에 대한 지금초(Euphorbiae humifusae L., EH) 추출물의 영향을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서, LA는 대조군에 비하여 농도 의존적으로 세포 생존율이 감소됨으로서 신경독성을 보였으며, $0{\sim}50{\mu}M$의 LA가 각각 포함된 배양액에서 72시간 동안 세포를 처리한 결과, $XTT_{50}$ 값은 $38.6{\mu}M$로 고독성인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, $30{\sim}50{\mu}M$의 LA가 각각 포함된 배양액에서 72시간 동안 세포를 처리한 결과 $XTT_{50}$은 $38.6{\mu}M$에서 나타났다. 이와 동시에 항산화제인 vitamin E의 처리에서 LA 독성에 의하여 감소된 세포 생존율이 유의하게 증가함으로서 LA의 독성에 산화적 손상이 관여하고 있음을 제시하였다. 한편, EH 추출물은 지질과산화 저해능을 비롯하여 superoxide dismutase (SOD)-유사활성능 및 DPPH-라디칼 소거능과 같은 항산화능에 의하여 LA 독성을 효과적으로 방어하였다. 이같은 항산화 효과는 gallic acid와 같은 폴리페놀이나 또는 flavonol이나 quercetin과 같은 플라보노이드와 같은 항산화성분에 기인된 결과로 생각된다. 결론적으로, EH 추출물과 같은 천연 소재는 차후 납신경독성과 같이 산화적 손상과 관련된 질환 치료를 위한 유용한 활용 인자로 사료된다.

A novel mononuclear supramolecule of copper(II) has been synthesized with Ippyt ligand (Ippyt=3-(4'-imidazole phenyl)-5-(pyrid-2''-yl)-1,2,4-triazole) (1). Compound 1, namely [$Cu(Ippyt)_2(H_2O)_2$], has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectrum, elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Structure determination reveals that the elongated-octahedral geometry is formed in the vicinity of the copper (II) atom being coordinated by four nitrogen atoms from two Ippyt ligands occupying the equatorial position and two oxygen atoms from two coordinated water molecules in the axial position, which together form the $N_4O_2$ donor set. Hydrogen bonding interactions between nitrogen and oxygen atoms result in the set up of a supramolecular network architecture. Biological properties including antibacterial activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic activity of compound 1 have been investigated by agar diffusion method and the modified Marklund method, respectively. The results indicate that compound 1 exhibits a stronger antibacterial efficiency than the parent ligand and it also has a certain radical-scavenging activity.

Commercialized production of onion vinegar, which has biological activities formed through alcohol and acetic acid fermentation, requires standardization. The objective of this study was to determine optimal conditions of sugar contents ($11{\sim}15^{\circ}Brix$) and agitation rate (100~300 rpm) of fermenter in the alcohol-acetic fermentation for producing onion vinegar. The alcohol and total acidity contents increased, whereas contents of total sugars decreased during alcohol fermentation. Contents of alcohol of 13 and $15^{\circ}Brix$ reactants were about 8% in 36 hr and total acidities of all samples were below 0.2% in 60 hr. During acetic fermentation, total acidity increased with highest value at 9 days (3.2% in 100 rpm), 10 days (4.1% in 200 rpm) and 8 days (4.3% in 300 rpm), respectively. From these results, sugar contents ($13^{\circ}Brix$) were measured for alcohol fermentation and agitation rate (300 rpm) for fast fermentation method of vinegar. The contents of total phenols, flavonoids and quercetin in onion vinegar were 33.3 mg/100 g, 3.0 mg/100 g and 2.0 mg/100 g, respectively. Onion vinegar showed an antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter aerogenes. Antioxidant effect of onion vinegar was 26.23% in DPPH radical inhibition and 58.58% in superoxide dismutase like activity, respectively. Fibrinolytic activity was 1.51 plasmin unit/mL in onion vinegar. In conclusion, onion vinegar processed by alcohol and acetic fermentation had nutritional values and potential biological activities.

The purpose of this research related to the development of natural preservatives, in which licorice and spices (clove, fennel fruit and Chungyang green pepper) were extracted with distilled water, and the extracts were tested for their antibacterial and antioxidative activities. The polyphenol contents of the water extracts from licorice, clove, fennel fruit and Chungyang green pepper were 17.4, 21.4, 6.6, and 0.9 mg/g, respectively. The water extracts from licorice and clove demonstrated antibacterial activity against S. aureus. The electron donating abilities (EDA) of the water extracts from the licorice and other spices ranged from 60 to 88% at 1,000 ppm; the highest value was for the licorice followed by fennel fruit, clove, and green pepper. The xanthine oxidase inhibition ratio (XOD) of the extracts ranged from 28 to 50% at 1,000 ppm, where the highest value occured in the cloves, followed by fennel fruit, green pepper, and licorice. The superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity ranged from 33 to 53% at 1,000 ppm, and the highest value was for the licorice followed by cloves, fennel fruit, and green pepper. The nitrite scavenging abilities (NSA) at 1,000 ppm of the clove and fennel fruit water extracts were 95% and 65% at pH 1.2, respectively. The NSAs of the extracts were highest at pH 1.2, and decreased with increasing pH. Considering all the obtained results, we have concluded that licorice and spice extracts can be used as natural preservatives in the development of health foods.

Green tea leaves were fermented for 15 and 30 days with Monascus pilosus which is known to produce functional statins (TMs), and the content of various biochemical constituents such as total polyphenol (TP), total flavonoid (TF), theaflavin, and thearubigin were analyzed and compared with that of non-fermented green tea (GT) and Pu-erh Chinese post-fermented tea (PU). In addition to the electron donating ability (EDA), ferric iron reducing power (FIRP), xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity, iron chelating activity (ICA) and hydrogen peroxide contents were also measured and compared with that of GT and PU. Content of TP and TF in the water and ethanol extracts in TMs were lower than those in GT and PU. Theaflavin and thearubigin contents of water and ethanol extracts in TMs were higher than those of GT. And, these components were increased depending on the period of fermentation. While, EDA and FIRP of TMs were lower than those of GT, XO inhibitory activity of TMs was higher than non-fermented tea. While, ICA of TMs was slightly higher than GT and PU, the content of hydrogen peroxide in TMs was markedly lower than GT. This results suggested that the green tea fermented by M. pilosus was valuable for oxidative stress-induced diseases by decreasing hydrogen peroxide, and forming theaflavins and thearubigins with functionality of genus Monascus.

The effect of perilla oil added in diet on the biochemical properties of cultured sweet smelt, Plecoglossus altivelis, was investigated. The cultured fish were fed two different diets for 8 weeks; a control diet was a commercial diet, which was low in the content of docosa­hexaenoic acid (DHA, 22: 6n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20: 5n-3) less than approximately $2\%$ (CO group) and an experimental diet (PO group) was added perilla oil as a lipid source in the diet of the CO group. The PO group was superior in growth rate and feed efficiency compared with CO group. This trend showed markedly in female of both groups. The fatty acid composition in the muscle of PO group was closely related with those of the diet, while those of CO group were not. For plasma components, total cholesterol (CHOU of PO group was higher than that of CO group. Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), hydroxyl (OH) radical levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of plasma were higher in PO group than CO group. The intensity of watermelon-like or cucumber-like aroma was much stronger in PO group with higher level of TBARS and OH radical in plasma compared CO group. Survival rate was also high in PO group with high levels of phagocytic rate, CHOL and SOD activity. These results suggest that perilla oil might be usefulness as a lipid source of the cultured sweet smelt diet, in which result in high quality of the cultured fish.
