Abstract

To develop Salicornia herbacea as a functional food material, crude polysaccharides and saponins were isolated from 80% ethanolic extracts of Salicornia herbacea using Diaion HP-20 column chromatography, and biological activities including anti-oxidation, anti-proliferation of cancer cells, and immune activities were investigated. The hydrogen-donating properties of crude polysaccharides and saponins were above 20% at $500{\mu}g/mL$ concentration. The reducing power of fractions increased in a dose-dependent manner. Crude polysaccharides and saponins at $500{\mu}g/mL$ inhibited more than 20% and 50% of proliferation by PC-3 and HT-29 human cancer cells, respectively. The anti-oxidative and anti-cancer properties of crude saponins were higher than those of crude polysaccharides. Also, proliferation in spleen cells and (nitric oxide) NO production in RAW264.7 macrophages treated with crude polysaccharides increased in a dose-dependent manner compared with the untreated control cells. However, crude saponins at concentration greater than $500{\mu}g/mL$ resulted in decreases in immune activities. Immune activities of crude polysaccharide were greater than those of crude saponins. These results indicate that Salicornia herbacea may be used as functional food materials.

함초를 기능성 식품소재로서 이용하기 위하여 함초 80% 에탄올 추출물로부터 Diaion HP-20 chromatography를 이용하여 조다당체 및 조사포닌을 분리 한 후 이들에 대한 항산화 효과, 암세포 성장억제효과, 비장세포 증식능 및 대식세포의 면역활성과 같은 생리활성을 조사하였다. 함초 조다당체 및 조사포닌 첨가군은 $500{\mu}g/mL$ 농도 이상에서 20% 이상의 수소공여능을 나타내었으며, 환원력도 농도 의존적으로 증가하였다. 조다당체 및 조사포닌은 $500{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 전립선암세포(PC-3) 및 대장암세포(HT-29)에 대하여 각각 20%, 50% 이상의 성장 억제율를 보였는데, 함초 조다당체 보다 조사포닌에서 더 높은 항산화 및 암세포 증식억제 효과를 나타내었다. 한편 함초 조다당체 첨가군은 비장세포 증식 및 대식세포주 NO 생산을 농도 의존적으로 유도하였으나, 조사포닌 첨가군은 오히려 농도 $50{\mu}g/mL$ 이상에서 이들 면역 활성을 억제하였다. 즉 면역 활성에서는 함초 사포닌 보다 조다당체에서 더 높은 면역 증강 효과를 보였다. 따라서 함초는 기능성 식품소재로 활용 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
