Abstract

This study investigated the antioxidant effects and physiological activities of extract from various parts of pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) such as leaf, flesh, skin and seed. Different dried parts of C. moschata were boiled in ethanol for three hours, evaporated, and lyophilized with a freeze-dryer. Total polyphenol contents were the highest in leaf ($29.62{\pm}0.88mg$ GAE/g DM). The same result was observed in the measurement of the flavonoid content. The leaf extract of C. moschata had stronger DPPH radical-scavenging activities and ABTS-radical scavenging activities than any other part. Leaf extract of C. moschata was found to have the highest ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) value. Meanwhile, at 0.1 mg/mL of all extracts higher degree of tyrosinase inhibitory effects than kojic acid was observed (leaf; 49.58%, flesh; 40.20%, skin; 41.30%, seed; 36.79% and kojic acid; 20.70%). The glycation inhibitory activity decreased in the order leaf>skin>flesh>seed. The ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity of seed extract was the highest with a value of 63.58% at the concentration of 1 mg/mL.

본 연구에서는 늙은호박(Cucurbita moschata Duch.)의 부위별 항산화 효과 및 생리활성을 평가하기 위하여 잎과 과피, 과육과 씨 네 부분으로 나누어 일반성분을 측정하고, 환류 추출과 감압농축 및 동결건조를 통하여 분말을 얻은 후 실험에 사용하였다. 호박의 부위별 총 폴리페놀 함량은 잎이 $29.62{\pm}0.88mg$ GAE/g DM로 가장 높게 측정되었다. 플라보노이드 함량도 잎이 가장 높고 과피, 과육, 씨의 순서로 측정되어 폴리페놀 함량과 같은 경향을 보였다. DPPH radical 소거 활성과 ABTS radical 소거 활성에서 SC50값을 측정하였을 때는 잎에서 가장 높은 소거 활성을 나타내었다(DPPH: $1.27{\pm}0.14$, ABTS: $2.28{\pm}0.05$). FRAP assay를 이용한 환원력을 실험한 결과에서도 잎에서 가장 높은 환원력이 관찰되었다. 한편, 생리활성적인 측면 중 tyrosinase 효소 억제 활성 능력은 대조군인 kojic acid와 비교하였을 때 같은 농도인 0.1 mg/mL에서 20.70%이었던 반면 실험군인 잎은 49.58%, 과육은 40.20%을 보였고, 과피는 41.30%, 씨는 36.79%가 관찰되어 모두 이보다 높은 수치를 나타냈으므로 kojic acid 보다 효과가 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 최종당화산물(AGEs) 생성억제 효능에서는 잎(65.85%), 과피(50.14%), 과육(13.72%), 그리고 씨(11.18%)의 순서로 관찰되었다. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase 저해활성은 씨 부분의 저해활성이 63.58%로 67.28%를 나타낸 대조군 0.06 mM acarbose에 근접한 수치를 나타내었다.
