Abstract

Free radical-scavenging activities of Korean Bulro Kugi (Lycium chinense Mill) fruit, leaf, and root were evaluated. Total phenolic contents of fruit, leaf, and root were $1,078.4{\pm}61.0$, $939.9{\pm}19.8$, and $3,792.2{\pm}106.6mg/L$, and their flavonoids were $396.7{\pm}15.2$, $1,952.9{\pm}21.3$, and $425.3{\pm}13.5mg/L$, respectively (p<0.001). HPLC revealed main polyphenolic compounds in fruit were p-coumaric and syringic acids in fruit, p-coumaric, syringic, and procatechuic acids in leaf, and p-coumaric, syringic, caffeic, and procatechuic acids in root. Highest radical-scavenging activities of superoxide anion and hydroxyl were found in leaf and root, respectively (p<0.001).

불로 구기의 부위별 열매, 잎, 뿌리의 라디칼 소거 효과를 연구하였다 총 페놀함량은 불로 구기열매, 잎, 뿌리에서 각각 $1,078.4{\pm}61.0mg/L$, $939.9{\pm}19.8mg/L$, and $3,792.2{\pm}106.6mg/L$의 함량은 나타내었으며 총 플라보노이드 함량은 구기열매, 잎, 뿌리에서 각각 $396.7{\pm}15.2$, $1,952.9{\pm}21.3$, and $425.3{\pm}13.5mg/L$의 함량을 나타내었다(p<0.001) 열매에서는 p-coumaric acid 0.018 mg/100g, syringic acid 0.006 mg/100g이 검출되었고, 잎에서는 p-coumaric acid 0.068 mg/100g, syringic acid 0.064 mg/100 mg, procatechuic acid 0.05 mg/100 mg이 검출되었다. 뿌리에는 p-coumaric acid 0.178 mg/100 mg, syringic acid 0.046 mg/100 mg, caffeic acid 0.043 mg/100 g과 procatechuic acid 0.022 mg/100 mg이 검출되었다. 불로구기의 주요 폴리페놀 성분들은 p-coumaric acid과 syringic acid이었으며 잎에서는 열매에서 확인되지 않은 caffeic acid가 뿌리에서는 caffeic acid procatechuic acid 성분이 함유되어 있었다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 뿌리 0.29 mg/100 g, 잎 0.18 mg/100 g, 열매 0.03 mg/100 g의 순으로 뿌리에 가장 많이 함유되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 불로 구기의 부위별 superoxide anion radical 소거능력은 잎, 뿌리, 구기열매가 각각 $60{\pm}0.1%$, $47.7{\pm}0.1%$, $21.6{\pm}0.1%$의 순으로 잎에서 가 장 높은 소거효과가 나타났으며, hydroxyl radical 소거능력은 superoxide anion radical 소거능력에 비해 효과가 약하나 뿌리에서 $34.6{\pm}0.1%$로 높은 소거효과를 나타내었다(p<0.001).
