The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of enzyme-treated radish (Raphanus sativus L.) leaves on lipid metabolism in rats fed a high fat diet. Rats were divided into four experimental groups which were composed of a high fat diet group (HF group), a high fat diet with 10% radish leaf powder-supplemented group (MA group), a high fat diet with 5% enzyme-treated radish leaf powder-supplemented group (MB group) and a high fat diet with 10% enzyme-treated radish leaf powder-supplemented group (MC group). Total dietary fiber content of enzyme-treated radish leaves were greater than untreated radish leaves. Body weight gain and food efficiency ratio (FER) of the HF group increased compared to the MA, MB and MC groups. The serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and atherogenic index contents in the radish leaf powder-supplemented groups were lower than that of the HF group, while those values for the MB and MC groups were significantly lower than that of the HF group. The serum HDL-cholesterol contents of the MB and MC groups increased compared to the HF group. The hepatic triglyceride contents of the MA, MB and MC groups decreased compared to the HF group. In fact, the hepatic triglyceride contents of the MB and MC groups were significantly lower than the MA group. The hepatic total cholesterol contents of the MB and MC groups significantly decreased compared to those of the HF group. The fecal total cholesterol contents of the MA, MB and MC groups significantly increased compared to those of the HF group. These results indicate that supplementation with enzyme-treated radish leaves increase the useful fiber contents. Furthermore, it may have a pronounced impact on lipid metabolism of serum and liver in rats fed a high fat diet.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes of mineral contents in radish leaves, soybean sprout and chwi namul by cooking method(boiling, steaming, sauting) and cooking time(1, 3, 5 min.). The residual rate of minerals(such as Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Iron and Magnesium) in radish leaves, soybean sprout and chwi namul by 1 minute sauting was the range of 83.2 to 99.1%. It was shown that sauting was desirable method for all three vegetables. The residual rate by the cooking method was sauting, steaming, boiling, in that order, but boiling in radish leaves and chwi namul were more desirable method than steaming for Calcium use. At the cooking method and cooking time, Potassium content in soybean sprout was reduced remarkably in 5 minutes boiling. Boiling of radish leaves and soybean sprout showed that Sodium was reduced remarkably after 5 minutes of boiling, 54.4% for radish leaves and 19.9% for soybean sprout, respectively.

Incidence of radish disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani ranged from 1 to 30% in fields located at Hwaseong, Naju and Yeoncheon in Korea during the growing seasons in 1989, 1990 ad 1993. A total of 133 isolates of R. solani was obtained from the diseased seedlings, leaves and roots of radish collected. The fungus was most commonly isolated from the roots. Among 133 isolates of R. solani, 56 isolates were classified as anastomosis group AG-1 by anastomosis test, 37 isolates as AG-2-1, and 40 isolates as AG-4. Among the isolates of AG-1, 26 isolates were grouped as cultural type IA, and the others as cultural type IB. Cultural types IA and IB of AG-1, were isolated from the leaves, AG-2-1 from the roots, and AG-4 from the seedlings, leaves and roots. Pathogenicity tests revealed that the AG-1(IA) isolates were highly virulent on leaves of radish, but avirulent on the seedlings, petioles and roots. The AG-1(IB) isolates were highly virulent on the leaves, but mildly virulent on the seedlings and avirulent or mildly virulent on the petioles and roots. The AG-2-1, isolates were mildly virulent on the leaves and seedlings and mildly or highly virulent on the petioles and roots. The AG-4 isolates were highly virulent on the seedlings and mildly or highly virulent on the leaves, petioles and roots.

This study was aimed to observe the effects of municipal sewage sludge as a organic fertilizer on the growth and KDICical omposition of Altari radish (Raphanus sativus). The accumulation rate of heavy metals of the sludge in the radish was also observed. Municipal sewage sludge of Taejon City was applied to the soil of Pai-Chai University Farm to make 6 gradients of sludge contents in the soil. Root weight of Altari radish was affected significantly by N and P contents in the soil. The longest leaves and roots were produced in the control group, in which urea was applied as nitrogen source to the soil. Even though any other sludge-applied groups produced shorter leaves and roots than the control group, the length of the leaves and roots and the weight of the whole plant of the radish tended to increase with the increase of the sludge application. Contents of N, K, Ca and Mg in the radish were not significantly different among those in 6 experimental groups, but P contents in leaves varied among the 6 groups. Zn content of spring Altari radish treated with 200% sludge was 57.6 mg/kg. It is the highest contents among 6 experimental groups. Contents of Zn, Mn and Cd were higher in leaves than in roots, but less than those in market vegetables. From the above results, it is concluded that municipal sewage sludge can be applied as organic fertilizer to the growth of Altari radish. But this sludge could not be applied under our current regulations, which must be reviewed at intra-governmental leavels.

This study was conducted to investigate yield of extract, total phenolic compounds content, electron donating activity, nitrite scavenging activity, superoxide dismutase like activity of the radish leaves (Raphanus sativus L.) extracts. Radish leaves extracts were prepared using water extraction, 50% ethanol extraction and 50% methanol extraction. The yield of Kwandong radish leaves extracts without blanching treatment (DRLK) was $26.56{\sim}32.56%$ and the extract yield of Minongdanbaek radish leaves without blanching treatment (DRLM) was $34.34{\sim}36.90%$. On the other hand, the yield of samples with blanching treatment was a lower range value of $18.70{\sim}23.56%$ than samples without blanching treatment. In the total contents of phenolic compound, samples with and without blanching treatment were $49.1{\sim}59.4mg/g\;and\;53.41{\sim}62.08mg/g$, respectively. Minongdanbaek radish leaves extracts (DRLM, BDRLM) showed higher contents value than Kwandong radish leaves extracts (DRLK, BDRLK) in the total phenolic compounds. Samples without blanching treatment showed electron donating activity above 80%, nitrite scavenging activity of $36.63{\sim}51.17%$ and superoxide dismutase like activity of $38.53{\sim}45.38%$. Generally, Kwandong samples showed a little higher activity more than Minongdanbaek samples in the electron donating activity, nitrite scavenging activity and superoxide dismutase like activity. Also, radish leaves extracts without blanching treatment showed high physiological activities.

The current study examined the effects of radish loaves powder on hepatic antioxidative system in rats fed high-cholesterol diet. Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing 100$\pm$10 g were randomly assigned to normal group (N group), normal diet with 5$\%$ radish leaves powder supplemented group (NR group) and high-cholesterol groups, which were sub-divided into radish leaves powder free diet group (HC group) and 2.5$\%$ (HRL group), 5$\%$ (HRM group), 10$\%$ (HRH group) radish leaves powder supplemented groups. Hepatic super oxide dimutase activity was no significant differences. Hepatic glutathione peroxidase activity was sig-nificantly increased in 5$\%$, 10$\%$ radish leaves powder supplemented groups. Hepatic hydrogen peroxide contents in cytosol were no significantly differences Hepatic hydrogen peroxide contents in mitochondria were sig-nificantly reduced in radish leaves powder supplemented groups. Hepatic superoxide radical contents in mi-crosome were significantly reduced in radish leaves powder supplemented groups. Hepatic superoxide radical contents in mitochondria were significantly reduced in 5$\%$, 10$\%$ radish leaves powder supplemented groups. Hepatic TBARS values were significantly reduced in 5$\%$, 10$\%$ radish leaves powder supplemented groups. Hepatic lipofuscin contents were no significant difference in high-cholesterol groups. Hepatic carbonyl values were significantly reduced in 5$\%$, 10$\%$ radish leaves powder supplemented groups among high-cholesterol groups. The results indicate that radish leaves may reduce oxidative damage by activating antioxidative de-fense system of liver in rats fed high-cholesterol diets.

The composition analysis of various radish (Rapharnus sativus L.) leaves and the effects of drying condition on the quality characteristics of hot-air dried radish leaves were carried out by a response surface methodology. Independent variables put in drying temperature $(X_1)$ and drying time $(X_2)$, dependent variables put in color, calcium, iron, vitamin, etc. In the proximate composition of radish leaves by varieties, there were no significant differences in the ash, protein, lipid, calcium and iron content of samples, but there were significant differences in the vitamins, chlorophyll and color value of samples. The quality characteristics on dried radish leaves by central composite design, it was significant value on the moisture content, chlorophyll and color value according to drying temperature and drying times. But there were no significant differences in the contents of calcium $(31.41{\sim}35.80\;mg/g,\;dry\;base)$ and iron $(0.21{\sim}0.29\;mg/g\;dry\;base)$. The multiplex regression coefficients analysis were calculated with independent variables $(X_1,\;X_2)$ and dependent variables (moisture, chlorophyll, color value). The calculated coefficient correlations for the each samples were $R^2>0.97$. The effects of drying temperature were greater than drying time in the total chlorophyll content changes of radish leaves. Based on the present study, the optimum drying condition for the lowest color changes and effective reduction of moisture of radish leaves were expected to be $5{\sim}6$ hours at $70^{\circ}C$.

Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is a cruciferous vegetable, and its leaves have antioxidant and anticancer properties. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of ethyl acetate extracts from radish leaves on hypertension in 11-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). The SHRs were randomly divided into 3 groups of 6 rats each on the basis of initial systolic blood pressure (SBP) and were treated with oral administration of radish leaf extract (0, 30, or 90 mg/kg body weight [bw], respectively) for 5 weeks. Six Wistar rats were used as normotensive controls. The amount of the radish leaf extract had no effect on body weight. The SBP of the SHRs showed a decreasing trend with the consumption of the radish leaf extract. In the third week, the SBP of the group fed 90 mg extract/kg bw reduced from 214 mmHg to 166 mmHg and was significantly lower than that of the normotensive and hypertensive controls. The extract did not show a significant effect on the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity in the serum, kidney, and lung. The extract increased the concentration of NO in serum and the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase and catalase in red blood cells (RBCs). The serum concentrations of $Na^+$ and $K^+$ were not significantly different between all groups. However, the fecal concentrations of $Na^+$ and $K^+$ increased; the fecal concentrations of $Na^+$ and$K^+$for the normotensive and hypertensive controls were not different. Urinary excretion of $Na^+$ was higher in the normotensive Wistar rats than in the SHRs, while that of $K^+$ was not significantly different. These findings indicate that consumption of radish leaves might have had antihypertensive effects in SHRs by increasing the serum concentration of NO and fecal concentration of $Na^+$ and enhancing antioxidant activities.

Glucosinolates (GSLs), beneficial secondary metabolites for human health are abundantly present in radish vegetable. Radish is a member of Brassicaceae family and its seed, leaf and root contain very important GSLs. The objective of this study was to determine the variation of individual and total GSL contents in leaves and roots of 44 radish (Raphanus spp.) germplasm (26 R. sativus L., 3 R. raphanistrum, and 15 R. sativus L. var. raphanistroides Makino), and compare the GSL contents between leaves and roots among three Raphanus species. Thirteen GSLs were identified, being the glucoraphasatin (GRS) and glucobrassicin (GBS) the most abundant aliphatic and indolyl GSLs in both the leaves and roots. Variation in individual and total GSL contents was found among the germplasm of three Raphanus species. The GRS content was higher in roots than that of leaves in all three Raphanus species but the GBS content was higher in leaves than roots. GRS was represented 87.0%, 92.7% and 94.7% of the total GSL in roots of R. sativus L., R. raphanistrum and R. sativus L. var. raphanistroides (Makino) germplasm, respectively. Germplasm of R. raphanistrum exhibited the highest (average, $79.5{\mu}mol/g\;dw$) total GSL with a ranged from 62.7 to $92.9{\mu}mol/g\;dw$. The germplasm IT119288, Joseonmu and IT119262 from R. sativus L., RA 504 and K046542 from R. raphanistrum, and Gyeongju-2003-32 (G2003-32) and IT302373 from R. sativus L. var. raphanistroides (Makino) had high total GSL contents and these could be good candidates for developing the functional compounds-rich varieties in radish breeding program.
