Abstract

The principal objective of this investigation was to identify adequate species for the harvest of Perilla frutescens leaves, which provide profound antioxidant activities, and harbor abundant caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid. Namchun, Donggeul-2, Bora, Sae-bora and Neul-bora variants of the plant were assessed herein. In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant effects of these plants, and utilized an HPLC system to verify their caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid contents. Dried Perilla frutescens leaves were boiled at a temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ for three hours, and were lyopholized in a freezedryer. The extracts were then processed in order to confirm their antioxidant activities via 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical-scavenging activity assay, ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, total flavonoid content and total polyphenol content assays. According to the observed antioxidant results of the five tested species of Perilla frutescens leaves, Bora and Donggeul-2 were shown to have more potent antioxidant activities than the other tested variants. The scavenge 50% of DPPH radical ($SC_50$ of DPPH) values were 241 ${\mu}g$ DM/mL in Donggeul-2 and 261 ${\mu}g$ DM/mL in Bora. Based on the results of the FRAP assay, the Bora variant showed a value of 796 mM $FeSO_4$ $7H_2O/g$ DM, and Donggeul-2 exhibited a value of 748 mM $FeSO_4$ $7H_2O/g$ DM, of which the total polyphenol contents were measured as 69.4 g GAE/kg DM and 61.8 g GAE/kg DM, respectively. Moreover, the Bora variant had the highest level of caffeic acid, and Donggeul-2 showed the highest rosmarinic acid content among the tested samples (0.87 mg/100 g wet base and 121 mg/100 g wet base, respectively). According to the results of this experiment, we selected two species, Bora and Donggeul-2, which were both verified to contain adequate and favorable antioxidant activities.

본 연구는 품종별 들깻잎의 기능성 건강식품에 항산화력 측정과 생리활성물질인 caffeic acid와 rosmarinic acid의 함량 분석을 통하여 항산화관련 기능성 식품소재에 적합한 들깻잎의 품종을 찾기 위하여 수행하였다. 분쇄한 각 품종별 들깻잎을 환류 추출하여 여과한 후 동결 건조한 물질을 각 실험의 시료로 사용하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함유량을 측정한 결과, 보라들깨와 동글2호가 각각 69.4 g GAE/kg DM, 61.8 g GAE/kg DM로 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 그리고 항산화 실험 결과, FRAP에서는 보라들깨가 796 mM $FeSO_4$ $7H_2O/g$ DM로 가장 높은 항산화력을 가진 것으로 나타났으며, 그 뒤로 동글2호가 748 mM $FeSO_4$ $7H_2O/g$ DM으로 높았고, DPPH 결과에서는 $SC_50$값이 동글2호가 241 ${\mu}g$ DM/mL로 가장 항산화력이 높았고, 그 다음으로 261 ${\mu}g$ DM/mL로 보라들깨였다. 플라보노이드 함유량 측정에서는 늘보라들깨가 64.5 g QE/kg DM로 가장 높은 결과를 나타내었다. HPLC를 통하여 이미 잘 알려진 항산화제인 caffeic acid와 rosmarinic acid의 함유량을 측정한 결과, caffeic acid는 보라들깨에서, rosmarinic acid는 동글2호에서 가장 높은 함유량을 나타내었다. 즉, 이 종합적인 비교를 통하여 항산화능력과 생리활성물질 함유량 측면에서 보라들깨와 동글2호가 가장 적합한 품종이라고 결론지을 수 있다.
