To investigate the effect of wormwood extract on intestinal Microorganisms of human, we examined the changes of the intestinal microflora of 6 volunteers for 13 days. Numbers of total anaerobes in feces of 6 volunteers showed 1010cfu/g before and after intake of wormwood extract. In case of beneficial Microorganisms, wormwood extract did not have an effect on the growth of bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus spp. On the other hand, the growth of C. perfringens and E. coli, the harmful Microorganisms of human intestines, was inhibited by the wormwood extract.

Dyeing fastness and antibiosis effects of fabrics dyed with wormwood, which has been used in folk medicines and dietary life in Korea for a long time, were studied through dyeing small overcoats, which are used as diapers, with wormwood extract. As for the dying fastness test results, the fastness of decoloration was not that good but the pollution level showed a relatively positive result. As for the antibiosis effect results, the antibiosis of the dyed sample was better than the original sample on 3 kinds of bacteria, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and on 2 kinds of the fungi(Eumycetes). Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. Especially, the sample that was mordant with CaCl2 and FeSO4·7H2O showed the best antibiosis effect. On the other hand, the sample that showed the best antibiosis effect was the refined fabric, which is a fabric that is not dyed.

This study was conducted to evaluate the shoot height at which the yield and nutritive value of wormwood (Artemisia montana) is optimized in order to provide information on its potential to support animal production (Experiment 1). A second objective was to determine how the essential oil (EO) concentration in wormwood hay and silage differ (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, Artemisia montana was harvested at five different shoot heights (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 cm) from triplicate $1.8{\times}1.8m$ plots. Dry matter (DM) yield was measured at each harvest date and the harvested wormwood was botanically separated into leaf, stalk and whole plant fractions and analyzed for chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility (DMD). Values for total digestible nutrients (TDN), digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) were subsequently calculated using prediction equations. Dry matter yields of stalk and whole plant increased linearly (p<0.001) and leaf yield increased quadratically (p<0.01) with shoot height, whereas the leaf/stalk ratio decreased linearly (p<0.001). As shoot height increased, there was a linear increase (p<0.001) in leaf DM, ether extract (EE) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) contents and a quadratic increase (p<0.05) in leaf acid detergent fiber (ADF) and nitrogen free extract (NFE) contents, and stalk and whole plant DM (p<0.001), organic matter (OM, p<0.01 and p<0.05), NDF (p<0.001 and 0.05) and NFE (p<0.05) contents. However, there were decreases in leaf crude protein content (CP, quadratic, p<0.001) and stalk and whole plant EE content (linear, p<0.001), CP (quadratic, p<0.05) and ash (quadratic, p<0.05) contents. Digestibility of DM and TDN, and DE and ME value in leaves were not affected by increasing shoot height, but these measures linearly decreased (p<0.001) in stalk and whole plant. In Experiment 2, the hay had higher DM and CP concentrations, but lower EE concentration than the silage. Essential oil (EO) content in wormwood silage (0.49 g/100 g DM) was higher (p<0.05) than that in wormwood hay (0.32 g/100 g DM). Wormwood hay contained 25 essentail oils (EO) including camphor (10.4 g/100 g), 1-borneol (11.6 g/100 g) and caryophyllene oxide (27.7 g/100 g), and wormwood silage had 26 EO constituents including 3-cyclohexen-1-ol (8.1 g/100 g), trans-caryophyllene (8.6 g/100 g) and ${\gamma}$-selinene (16.8 g/100 g). It is concluded that the most ideal shoot height for harvesting wormwood is 60 cm based on the optimization of DM yield and nutritive value. Wormwood silage had a greater quantity and array of EO than wormwood hay.

활성산소는 많은 경우에 성인병, 염증, 암, 동맥경화 등과 관련되어 있다. 따라서 항산화물질의 섭취는 성인병 예방이나 치료에 도움이 될 수 있다. 보리, 쑥, 다시마, 대두는 자연식품으로 항산화물질을 포함하고 있다. 이들을 발효시켰을 때, 원재료에 비해 항산화도가 증가할 수 있는지 여부를 결정하였다. 항산화도를 결정하기 위해서는 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)를 이용하였다. 보리, 쑥, 다시마, 대두를 Bacillus licheniformis Bl으로 발효 시켰을 때, ethanol 추출 발효산물의 항산화도는 원재료에 비해 각각, 2.6, 1.6, 2.7, 1.7배로 증가하였다. 또한,250∼300 nm에 걸쳐 발효대두의 ethanol 추출성분의 peak 영역이 대두의 것에 비해 뚜렷하게 높았으며, 이는 이런 구성성분의 차이가 양 항산화도의 차이와 관련되어 있을 가능성을 제시해 준다. Paraquat는 Escherichia coli내부에서 활성산소를 만들어 균의 성장을 억제하는 것으로 알려져 있다. Ethanol로 추출한 발효대두 성분은 paraquat 의한 균의 억제를 회복시킬 수 있었다. 이는 발효대두 성분이 체내에서도 이용될 수 있는 가능성을 보여준다.

This study was conducted to evaluate effects of plant extracts on methanogenesis and rumen microbial diversity in in vitro. Plant extracts (Artemisia princeps var. Orientalis; Wormwood, Allium sativum for. Pekinense; Garlic, Allium cepa; Onion, Zingiber officinale; Ginger, Citrus unshiu; Mandarin orange, Lonicera japonica; Honeysuckle) were obtained from the Plant Extract Bank at Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology. The rumen fluid was collected before morning feeding from a fistulated Holstein cow fed timothy and commercial concentrate (TDN; 73.5%, crude protein; 19%, crude fat; 3%, crude fiber; 12%, crude ash; 10%, Ca; 0.8%, P; 1.2%) in the ratio of 3 to 2. The 30 ml of mixture, comprising McDougall buffer and rumen liquor in the ratio of 4 to 1, was dispensed anaerobically into serum bottles containing 0.3 g of timothy substrate and plant extracts (1% of total volume, respectively) filled with $O_2$-free $N_2$ gas and capped with a rubber stopper. The serum bottles were held in a shaking incubator at $39^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. Total gas production in all plant extracts was higher (p<0.05) than that of the control, and total gas production of ginger extract was highest (p<0.05). The methane emission was highest (p<0.05) at control, but lowest (p<0.05) at garlic extract which was reduced to about 20% of methane emission (40.2 vs 32.5 ml/g DM). Other plant extracts also resulted in a decrease in methane emissions (wormwood; 8%, onion; 16%, ginger; 16.7%, mandarin orange; 12%, honeysuckle; 12.2%). Total VFAs concentration and pH were not influenced by the addition of plant extracts. Acetate to propionate ratios from garlic and ginger extracts addition samples were lower (p<0.05, 3.36 and 3.38 vs 3.53) than that of the control. Real-time PCR indicted that the ciliate-associated methanogen population in all added plant extracts decreased more than that of the control, while the fibrolytic bacteria population increased. In particular, the F. succinogens community in added wormwood, garlic, mandarin orange and honeysuckle extracts increased more than that of the others. The addition of onion extract increased R. albus diversity, while other extracts did not influence the R. albus community. The R. flavefaciens population in added wormwood and garlic extracts decreased, while other extracts increased its abundance compared to the control. In conclusion, the results indicated that the plant extracts used in the experiment could be promising feed additives to decrease methane gas emission from ruminant animals while improving ruminal fermentation.

Effects of medicinal herb extract on nonspecific immune responses, hematology and disease resistance against Edwardsiella tarda in olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus were evaluated. Wormwood, Artemisia asiatica NAKAI and barrenwort, Epimedium koreanum NAKAI were mixed at a ratio of 7 : 3 (w/w) for 2-herbs extract and wormwood, barrenwort, Korean forsythia, Forsythia koreana NAKAI, chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum KITAMURA, peppermint, Mentha arvensis L. var, piperascens MALINV., great burnet, Snaguisorba afficinalis L., Lizard tail. Saururus chinensis BAILL., mulberry, Morus alba L., and star anise, Illicium varum HOOK, f, at the same weight for 9-herbs extract. Two-herbs of 9-herbs extract were prepared by heating after adding 10㎖ of distilled water per g of the herb mixtures. Fish (10.3$\pm$2.5g) were fed the experimental diets supplemented with the 2-herbs or 9-herbs extract at the different concentrations of 0%, 0.1%, 0.5% and 1% per kg diet for 12 weeks. Lysozyme and bactericidal activities of serum, and hematological characteristics were examined during experimental period. After feeding test period, all experimental groups were challenged with E. tarda. Lysozyme activity from the fish fed the diet supplemented with 0.1% or 0.5% of 2-herbs extract was significantly higher than the control. But there was no difference both in bactericidal activity and hematology among each group. Sixty seven % of relative percent survival values (RPS) in the group fed the diet supplemented with 0.1% of 2-herbs was higher than the other group and the control. These results suggest that supplenmentation of 0.1% of 2-herbs extract to a commercial diet may enhance disease resistance in olive flounder. Although both 0.1% and 0.5% 9-herbs extract did not improve non-specific immune reponses, they could enhance disease resistance of 53% RPS, respectively.

탈지된 산쑥(Artemisia montana Pampan)으로부터 물 추출물 및 에테르 추출물인 유리형 페놀산, 에스터형 및 불용성 페놀산을 추출하였다. 각 추출물들은 시판용 식용 대두유를 기질로 하여 $45^{\circ}C{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, 빛이 없는 항온기에서 32일간 저장하였으며, 매 4일 간격으로 과산화물가와 TBA치를 측정하였다. 물 추출물을 첨가한 시험구에서 항산화 효력이 모두 대조구보다 높게 나타나 BHA와 유사한 효력을 보였으나 BHT보다는 모두 항산화 효과가 낮게 나타났다. 에테르 추출물인 유리형, 에스터형 및 불용성 페놀산을 첨가한 시험구에서는 대조구보다 항산화 효력이 높았으며 유리형은 항산화 효력이 BHA와 유사했고 에스터형은 BHA보다 높고 BHT보다 낮게 나타난 반면 불용성 페놀산은 BHT보다 항산화 효력이 높게 나타남을 보여 주었다. 그리고 세가지 페놀산 추출물 중에서는 불용성 페놀산이 가장 강한 항산화 효과를 나타내었고 에스터형, 유리형 순이었다. Gas chromatography 로 부터 분리 동정된 페놀산은 catechol, vanillin, umbellinferone, protocatechuic acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid였다. 이상의 결과들을 종합해 볼때 약용으로 사용하고 있는 산쑥은 caffeic acid, catechol, protocatechuic acid등의 항산화 효력이 강한 성분이 많이 함유되어 있으므로 식용대두유 기질에서 좋은 항산화 효력를 나타낸다고 생각된다.

Many recent studies have focused on maintaining a healthy life by preventing and/or postponing the aging process. Numerous studies have reported that continuous exposure to reactive oxygen species can stimulate skin aging and that excessive accumulation of fat can cause an impaired skin barrier and tissue structure alterations. Thus, the maintenance of antioxidant homeostasis and the suppression of adipose accumulation are important strategies for skin anti-aging. Here, we prepared three types of extracts [whole juice, acetone-perchloric acid (PCA), and ethanol] from 20 fruits and medicinal herbs native to the Gyeongnam area of Korea. The total phenolic content of each extract was analyzed, and we observed higher total phenolic contents in the medicinal herbs. Consistent with this, the results of the oxygen radical absorbance activity capacity assay indicated that the in vitro antioxidant activities of the medicinal herb extracts were stronger than those of the fruit extracts. The fruits and medicinal herbs had strong effects on cell-based systems, including $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress in human keratinocytes and 3T3-L1 lipid accumulation. Nishimura Wase persimmon, Taishu persimmon, wrinkled giant hyssop, sweet wormwood, Chinese cedar, red perilla, tan shen, hiyodori-jogo, and cramp bark may be natural anti-aging materials with effective antioxidant and anti-adipogenic activities. Taken together, our findings may provide scientific evidence supporting the development of functional foods and nutraceuticals from fruits and medicinal herbs.
