The purposes of this study were to investigate the effects of bamboo (SasacoreanaNakai)extracton chemical characteristics and biological activities. pH ranges of bamboo extract using water and ethanol were between 5.2 and 6.1. The concentration of total phenol compounds using ethanol extract was 0.51%, which was about 2.0 fold higher than that of water extract. The mineral concentrations were order of K, Mg, Ca, and Na, respectively. The nitrite scavenging ratio of bamboo extract using ethanol was 20.4% in vitro. In the case of bamboo extract using water, it was 18.0%. Especially, the maximum nitrite scavenging ratio was obtained at pH 1.5. On the other hand, when pH was increased from 3.0 to 6.0, the nitrite scavenging ratio was decreased from 16.2% to 3.0%. The antioxidant activity of bamboo extract in vitro was increased from 100 to 160% when bamboo extract using ethanol was increased from 10 to $50{\mu}L$. These results suggest that the bamboo extract of Sasa coreana Nakai using ethanol can be used in bioactive and functional material.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of Sineui-Dae (Sasa coreana Nakai, a kind of bamboo) extracts on the improvement of serum lipid composition by using rats fed a hypercholesterol diet for 4 weeks. The experiment animals were administered with the following diets; high cholesterol diet group (HC diet) as a control and three supplemented groups with high cholesterol diets (HCW, HCM or HCH diet). Three kinds of extracts were prepared by orderly extraction with hexane, methanol, and water. We measured free cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, total cholesterol LDL- and HDL-cholesterol triglyceride and phospholipid in the serum of rats in three experimental and control groups. There were no significant differences in body weights and feed intakes between the HC control group and the extract supplemented groups. The levels of total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol in the serum of extract supplemented groups were lower than that of the group fed with HC diet only. Serum HDL-cholesterol levet which is known as an antiatherosclerosis factor, was higher in all groups supplemented with bamboo extract by 17.2-21.9% compared to the HC control group. All groups supplemented with bamboo extracts showed the lowering effect of atherogenic index compared to the HC control group (HC group: 2.96${\pm}$0.08, HCM group: 1.48${\pm}$0.02, HCW group: 1.69${\pm}$0.04, HCH group: 1.84${\pm}$0.01). Furthermore, serum triglyceride and phospholipid decreased significantly in the HCM diet compared to the HC control diet. These results suggest that Sineui-Dae bamboo extract, especially methanol extract, has improving effects on hyperlipidemia of rats fed a high cholesterol diet.

Bamboo leaf has many nutritional and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, and it can be used for various foods application. Fermentation is one of appropriate processes that can affect the nutrition, taste and flavor, and antioxidant activities of foods. In this study, a representative domestic bamboo tree (Sasa coreana Nakai) leaves were fermented by Bacillus subtilis KCCM 11315 and the changes of carbohydrates, minerals, amino acids, and phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities were investigated before and after fermentation. During the fermentation period, firstly, the leaf was softened and turned to brown. The constituent carbohydrates were slightly increased from $432.09{\pm}5.38mg/g$ to $458.42{\pm}7.39mg/g$, and free sugars decreased by 95% from $28.12{\pm}2.03mg/g$ to $1.4{\pm}0.14mg/g$. Mineral was $20987.5{\pm}345.1{\mu}g/mL$, which was slightly increased after the fermentation compared to $20804.1{\pm}364.6{\mu}g/mL$ before that. The total amino acids were increased to $73881.94{\pm}137.59mg/100g$ compared to $58464.51{\pm}109.12mg/100g$ before fermentation, and free amino acids decreased by more than 85% from $32782.67{\pm}92.49mg/100g$ to $4827.83{\pm}19.76mg/100g$. Total polyphenols content (TPC) increased from $25.51{\pm}1.04GAE^*mg/g$ to $35.34{\pm}0.91GAE^*mg/g$, and the total flavonoid content (TFC) increased to $80.57{\pm}0.22QE^*mg/g$ compared to $69.64{\pm}0.26QE^*mg/g$. The total catechin content (TCC) of TFC was decreased from $69.64{\pm}0.94mg/L$ to $58.23{\pm}0.76mg/L$. The DPPH radical $IC_{50}$ of bamboo leaves decreased to $2624.85{\pm}37.03{\mu}g/mL$ and the ABTS radical $IC_{50}$ of $187.26{\pm}4.78{\mu}g/mL$ was increased after the fermentation. These results could be used as essential nutritional data before developing processed food products using the bamboo leaf.

To develop potential cosmetic ingredients with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of 4 Korean bamboo species (P. bambusoides, P. nigra var. henonis, P. pubescens and Sasa coreana) using three different extraction methods-water, ethanol and supercritical fluid extraction. Antimicrobial activities and DPPH assay have been examined. Among the antimicrobial activities against two test strains, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, ethanol extracts of 3 bamboo trees, P. bambusoides, P. nigra var. henonis, and P. pubescens, showed stronger than those of supercritical extracts. However, 4 bamboo supercritical extracts showed dose-dependent increase in antioxidant activity by DPPH assay. These results suggest that water fraction of bamboo extracts may be useful for the cosmetic ingredient with low cytotoxicity.

We investigated traditional knowledge about ethnobotanical uses around national parks in the northern areas of Province Gyeongsangbuk-do, with the focus on the Sobeaksan National Park area. Interviews were carried out to 138 residents at 42 places from 7 counties and/or cities, and verified species and usage information were categorized by taxonomic groups, usage, and used parts. The ethnobotanical species of the regions consisted of a total of 277 taxa: 244 species, 3 subspecies, 28 varieties, and 2 forma in 213 genera of 79 families. The significant native plants included one Endangered Species (Paeonia obovata Max.) and four endemic species (Salix hallaisanensis H. Lev., Aconitum pseudolaeve Nakai, Paulownia coreana Uyeki, and Cirsium setidens (Dunn) Nakai, Sasa coreana Nakai). About 17 Approved Species for Delivering Overseas designated by Korea Ministry of Environment have been also traditionally valuable in the regions. The main usage of the plants were edible (185 taxa) and medicinal (175 taxa). Leaves were most commonly used parts (109 taxa), followed by stems (73 taxa), fruits (69 taxa), roots (67 taxa), and wholes (57 taxa). The traditional usage of plants were diverse as those useful parts. Leaves, fruits and seeds were used as edible and medicinal; sprouts (young shoots) were mainly used as edible; but roots and flowers were used as medicinal. The study does not only provides examples of traditional uses of native plants, but also facilitates sustainable managements and developments of ethnobotanical knowledge for the contemporary society.

The vegetation of Mt. Joghesan of a provincial park in Cheolanamdo was surveyed over twenty times from July, 1980 to December, 1981. The plants of Mt. Jonghesan consisted of 10 forma, 107 varieties, 597 species, 424 genera and 122 families, and among them were 204 species of esculent plants, 199 species of medicina plants and 30 species of the others oil plants and fiber plants. Evergreen herbs consisted of 12 species, including Coniogramme intermedia, Asplenium sarelii, and Asplenium incisum etc. And Evergreen broad-leaved trees consisted of 22 species, including Thea sinensis, Sasa borealis, and Quercus acuta etc. And evergreen needle-leaved trees consisted of 15 species, including Torreya nacitora, Pinus densiflora, Sciadopitys japonica, and Chamaecyparis obtusa etc. The community of broad-leaved consisted of Quercus spp, Carpinus laxiflora, Sasa borealis, including leading dominant species of Lespedeza maximowiczii, Viburnum erosum, Fraxius rhynchophylla, Viburnum dilatum, Rhus trichocarpa, Zelkova serrata, Miscanthus sinensis, Eragrostis ferrugina, Carex augustinowiczii persicaria filiforme var. neofiliforme, Vicia amoena, Smilax riparia var. ussuriensis, and Aster yomena etc. The vegetation of Seunamsa areas in Mt. Joghesan was favorable but the vegetations of the other areas in the mountain were negligible. The vegetation of Koolmokchi areas which had been much destroyed by forest fires was mostly covered with Quercus spp which are resistant to forest fires. Lindera sericea, Alangium platanifolium var. macrophyllum, Ilex macropoda, Corylopsis coreana, Albizzia julibrssin of old trees, Acer mono, the community of Thea sinensis, Stewartca koreana, Cornus alba, Dryopteris bisstiana, Asplenium incisum, Camptosorus, Lepisorus thunbergianus, gastrodia elata, Cymbidium goeringii, and the community of Persicaria filiforme var. neofiliforme etc. in Mt. Jonhesan are autochthonous flora, and their preservation is required. As the Pinus densiflora forest in Mt. Joghesan which was hewn down by human power has not been restored, Jeopchi areas and Koolmokchi areas in Mt. Joghesan have no Pinnus densiflora trees 700m above the sea level.
