Biological activities in the extract of fermented Codonopsis lanceolata

초록

To investigate the applicability of hot water extract from Codonoposis lanceolata (CL) and fermented Codonoposis lanceolata (FCL) as functional food and cosmeceutical material, its total phenolic contents, total flavonoids, electron donating ability (EDA), SOD-like activity, nitrate-scavenging ability (NSA), reducing power were examined. Total phenolic contents of CL and FCL were 0.54 mg/100 g and 2.79 mg/100 g, respectively, and total flavonoids contents were estimated as 2.26 mg/100 g for CL and 6.16 mg/100 g FCL. The EDA of CL and FCL were 8.0~17.9% and 32.9~74.9%. The SOD-like activities of CL and FCL were 0.6~16.5% and 3.5~21.6%, respectively, and the activity was dependent on the sample concentration. The NSA was pH dependent, and was the highest at pH 1.2 and the lowest at pH 6.0. The NSA of FCL was higher than that of CL. The FCL extract showed the highest reducing power (0.65) at the concentration of 1,000 μg/mL. Based on the above results, we deemed that the FCL might have potential antioxdant activities.
