Abstract

Antioxidative effects of several solvents extracts of cactus Cheonnyuncho (Opuntia humifusa) grown in Korea were investigated. Because 70% ethanol extract showed relatively high antioxidative activity and extraction yield, it was sequentially fractionated with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water, Ethyl acetate fraction showed highest scavenging activity against free radical DPPH. Antioxidative activity of ethyl acetate fraction determined based on acid and peroxide values under accelerated oxidation condition of lard was similar to that of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, but slightly lower than that of BHA. Similar results were observed using TBA method during peroxidation of linoleic acid.

본 연구에서는 천년초 손바닥 선인장 추출분획물의 항산화 활성을 비교, 검토하고자 하였다. 추출용매별 수율 및 항산화 활성을 알아본 결과 70% ethanol로 추출 하였을 경우 추출 수율 및 항산화 활성이 우수하게 나타났다. 70% ethanol 추출물을 hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol, water로 순차 분획하여 BHA, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol과 항산화 활성을 비교하여 보았다. DPPH를 측정하여 free radical 소거활성을 검토한 결과 ethyl acetate 분획물이 가장 우수한 항산화 활성을 나타내었고 BHA와 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol 활성과 견줄만한 효과를 보여주었다. 항산화 활성이 높게 나타난 ethyl acetate 분획물을 취하여 촉진된 자동산화조건에서 AV, POV, TBA 등을 측정하여 항산화 활성을 비교하였다. BHA, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol과 비교하여 AV와 POV 측정결과 BHA가 가장 우수한 활성을 보여주었으며 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol과 ethyl acetate 분획물은 비슷한 정도의 항산화 활성이 나타났다. TBA가에 의한 지질 과산화를 측정한 결과 BHA가 가장 우수한 활성을 보여주었으며 ethyl acetate 분획물은 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol 보다 우수한 활성을 보여주었다. 전체적으로 천년초의 ethyl acetate 분획물은 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol과 비슷한 항산화 활성을 보여주었다.
