A simple dignostic method using Fast Atom Bombardment mass spectrometry was applied to the characterization of green tea flavonols from the eluates of Sepahadex LH-20 column chromatography. From the ethyl acetate extracts, crude mixture of flavonol fraction(Fr.$1{\sim}4$) were separated by the stepwise gradient elution with 30, 45, and 60% aqueous acetone. Procyanidine B analogues were found to be typical constituents of Fr. 1. Main components of Fr. 2 were catechins and gallo-catechins. Fr. 3 contained mainly ester type compounds, catechin-gallates, gallocatechin-gallates with their analogues. Fr. 4 was contaminated with some phthalate esters.

Flavonols are polyphenolic compounds that are present in dietary plant-based foodstuffs and beverages (e. g. apple, onion, grape fruit, tea) and medicinal plants (e. g. Crategus, Ruta graveolens, Silybum marianum, Fagopyrum species) in high concentrations. They have been reported to exhibit a wide variety of biological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant and free-radical-scavenging activities.(omitted)

본 연구에서는 추출보조공정으로서 초음파 처리에 따른 녹차의 성분특성 변화를 분석하기 위하여,$60^{\circ}C$에서 1, 5, 30, 60분간 열수추출하고, 동일온도에서 초음파 추출하여 각각 가용성 고형분, vitamin C, 총 페놀성 화합물, flavonols, catechins, caffeine, free amino acids 함량을 분석하였다. 가용성 고형분 함량은 초음파 처리에 의해 약 4~5%의 추출수율이 증가하였다. Viamin C 함량은 1, 5, 30분에서는 각각 약 0.21, 0.16, 0.31 mg/g 증가하였지만, 60분 처리구에서는 대조구와 비교해 2.47 mg/g에서 2.22 mg/g으로 감소하였고, 총 페놀성 화합물 함량이 약 10~13 mg/g 증가하였다. Flavonols는 myricetin이 4.77 mg/100g에서 9.94 mg/100g, quercetin은 10.97 mg/100g에서 20.84 mg/100g, kaempferol은 7.95 mg/100g에서 17.33 mg/100g으로 초음파 처리에 의해 약 2배 이상 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 초음파처리에 의해 녹차 침출액의 EGCG, EGC, ECG, EC, (+)-C 함량이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 경향과는 달리, 유리아미노산의 경우는 초음파 처리에 따른 영향이 거의 없었고, 추출시간이 길어짐에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 결론적으로 초음파 처리에 의해 녹차의 vitamin C, 총 페놀 화합물, flavonol류, catechins의 추출이 증가함을 알 수 있었고, 따라서 녹차 가공에 있어 초음파 처리가 매우 효율적인 추출보조공정으로 사용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.

Recently, we reported an inverse association between high 'mate' intake (infusion of Ilex paraguariensis herb, a staple beverage in temperate South America) and breast cancer (BC) risk. Stronger inverse associations were found in high strata of tea, vegetable, fruit and energy intakes, and in overweight/obese women, suggesting possible roles for 'mate' mainly from its antioxidant contribution. The present study attempted to thoroughly explore possible associations among 'mate' and tea intake, dietary antioxidants and BC risk. Combining two databases of previous studies, 572 BC incident cases and 889 controls were interviewed with a specific questionnaire featuring socio-demographic, reproductive and lifestyle variables, and a food frequency questionnaire (64 items), focusing on 'mate' intake (consumer status, daily intake, age at start, age at quit, duration of habit). Food-derived nutrients were calculated from available databases. Odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated through unconditional logistic regression, adjusting for relevant potential confounders. The highest 'mate' intake was significantly inversely associated with BC risk for both low and high carotenoids (OR=0.40 vs. 0.41), vitamin C (OR=0.33 vs. 0.50), vitamin E (OR=0.37 vs. 0.45), flavonols (OR=0.38 vs. 0.48) and reduced glutathione (OR=0.48 vs. 0.46) strata. High tea intake showed significant inverse risk associations only with high carotenoids (OR=0.41), vitamin E (OR=0.48) and reduced glutathione (OR=0.43) strata. In conclusion, a strong and inverse association for 'mate' intake and BC was found, independent of dietary antioxidant levels. Also strong inverse associations with tea intake were more evident only at high levels of certain dietary antioxidants.

Flavonoids are phytochemicals that occur ubiquitously in plant foods that have been reported to have potential roles in the prevention of cancer, inhibition of platelet aggregation or inflammation. However, there was no accurate data reported on the intake of middle-aged Korean population. The present study was designed to assess dietary intake of flavonoids (including isoflavones) of 304 adults (20-59 yr, male 115, famale 189) living in Daejeon area using semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 50 food items, including vegetables, soy products, seaweeds, nuts and beans, fruits and beverages. Our self-administered questionnaire contained questions regarding subject's habitual diet and alcohol intake over the previous 3 months. Average daily intake of individual flavonols such as quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, and flavones such as luteolin, apigenin was 15.7, 8.7, 0.21, 2.07, 0.03 mg/day, respectively. Daily intake of daidzein and genistein, which are the commonly found isoflavones in soy products, were 16.6 and 21.4 mg/day, respectively. Combined intake of flavonoids was 64.3 mg/day. No effect of smoking, drinking and exercise was observed on flavonoids consumption. Food items that has the highest daily intake of each compounds were; quercetin (onion, 9.49 mg/day), kaempferol (strawberry, 1.18 mg/day), myricetin (green tea, 0.81 mg/day), apigenin (lettuce, 0.03 mg/day), luteolin (onion, 0.05 mg/day), daidzein (soybean sprout, 5.99 mg/day), genistein (soybean sprout, 7.02 mg/day). These findings provide valuable information on understanding the dietary flavonoids intake from a typical Korean daily diet, which might help to identify the risks for developing various diseases.

항산화, 항알러지, 항염증, 항암, 항고혈압, 항균 활성을 나타내는 폴리페놀 화합물은 고등식물에 의해 생산되는 2차 대사산물이다. 일반적으로 폴리페놀 화합물은 플라보노이드와 비 플라보노이드 화합물로 나뉘며 병원균에 대한 항균활성은 비 플라보노이드 화합물에 비해 플라보노이드 화합물이 우수하다. 항균활성을 나타내는 플라보노이드 화합물은 칼콘, 플라반-3-올(카테킨), 플라바논, 플라본, 플라보놀, 프로안토시아니딘 등이며 플라보놀 화합물은 그람 음성 세균(Fusobacterium nucleatum, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella melaninogenica, Prevotella oralis)과 그람 양성 세균(Actinomyces naeslundii, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Staphylococcus aureus)에 대해 항균활성을 나타낸다. 비 플라보노이드 화합물 중에서 항균활성을 나타내는 화합물은 커피산, 갈릭산, 페룰산 등이며 그람 양성 세균(Listeria monocytogenes, S. aureus)과 그람 음성 세균(Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa)에 대해 젠타마이신, 스트렙토마이신보다 우수한 항균활성을 나타낸다. 플라본 화합물인 캠퍼롤과 퀘세틴은 단독 사용보다는 리팜피신, 시플록사신과 병용하였을 떄 S. aureus와 메티실린 내성 S. aureus (MRSA)에 대해 시너지 효과를 나타내었고, 에피갈로카테킨 갈레이트(EGCG)는 베타락탐계 항생제와 병용했을 때 MRSA 에 대한 대해 시너지 효과를 나타내었다. 특히 한국 녹차에서 분리된 에피카테킨, 에피갈로카테킨, 에피갈로카테킨 갈레이트, 갈로카테킨 갈레이트 등의 차 폴리페놀류는 임상에서 분리한 MRSA에 대해 항균활성을 나타내었고 옥사실린과 병용했을 때 시너지 효과를 나타내었다.
