Abstract

|
|
|
The comparative activities of aqueous, ethanol, and methanol extracts from Aralia elata shoot (AES) and leaf (AEL) were tested by in vitro experimental models of linoleic acid peroxidation by thiocyanate and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) methods and scavenging activities of free radicals by DPPH (α,α’-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl). In addition, bio-active materials (phenolic compounds and minerals) were also measured. The extract yield of each solvent extracted from AES and AEL was 3.08% and 3.13% in aqueous, 0.58% and 0.66% in ethanol, and 0.81% and 1.73% in methanol, respectively. The highest extract yield was found in the aqueous extract from AEL. Major mineral contents (㎎%) of AES and AEL were 575.7 and 759.3 in Ca, 353.5 and 330.0 in K, and 31.3 and 31.0 in Mg, respectively. The highest free radical scavenging activity was found in the aqueous extract by 28.69% at 0.1% additional level from AES and in the methanol extract by 92.36% at 0.1% additional level from AEL. Free radical scavenging activity was stronger in AEL than in AES. In antioxidative activities determined by thiocyanate and TBA methods against lipid peroxidation using linoleic acid, ethanol extracts from AEL showed the highest antioxidative activity at all treatment concentrations. These results may provide the basic data to understand the biological activities of bio-active materials derived from AES and AEL.
