Abstract

The biological activity of functional food source with thyme extracts were examined. Total phenol contents in the 60% ethanol extracts $(26.8{\pm}0.35\;mg/g)$ with thyme leaf was higher than water extracts $(25.7{\pm}0.20\;mg/g)$. This HPLC analysis is significant in that physiological activity is related with phenolic compound content such as rosemarinic acid, quercetin and chlorogenic acid. Electron donating ability was shown as 90.1% in the water extracts and 77.7% in the 60% ethanol extracts. Antioxidant protection factor of 60% ethanol extracts was higher than water extracts. Helicobacter pylori of the water extracts from thyme leaves did not have antimicrobial activity, but the 60% ethanol extracts revealed the high antimicrobial activity as 9 mm of clear zone in $50\;{\mu}g/ml$ of phenol content, 10 mm in $100\;{\mu}g/ml$, 13 mm in $150\;{\mu}g/ml$ and 16 mm in $200\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition activity showed no inhibition activity in 60% ethanol extracts but 39.9% inhibition activity in water extracts. Xanthine oxidase inhibition activity showed high inhibition activity at 73.5% in water extracts and 100% in 60% ethanol extracts. The result suggests the development of phenol compound in thyme as anti Helicobacter pylori, antioxidant and anti-gout agents.

Thyme(Thymus vulgaris L.)을 성인병 예방을 위한 기능성 식품 소재로 이용하기 위하여 각 추출물의 생리활성효과를 조사하였다. 추출물의 phenol 함량은 열수추출물이 $26.8{\pm}0.35\;mg/g$였으며, 60% 알코올추출물은 $25.6{\pm}0.20\;mg/g$으로 열수 추출물의 phenol 함량이 다소 높게 나타났다. Thyme의 HPLC 분석결과 생리활성 효과가 높은 rosemarinic acid, quercetin, chlorogenic acid의 함량이 많은 것으로 보아 생리활성 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다. 각 추출물의 항산화 효과는 DPPH와 ABTS가 열수 추출물과 60% 알코올 추출물이 각각 90.1%, 77.7%와 94.1%, 88.7%로 열수 추출물이 높게 나타났다. Antioxidant protection factor는 알코올 추출물이 PF 1.19로 지용성 물질에 대한 항산화력이 높은 것으로 확인되었고 TBARS값은 대조구에 비해 낮은 값을 나타내어 hydroxyl radical을 binding하는 능력이 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다. H. pylori에 대한 추출물의 항균활성은 열수 추출물의 경우 저해활성이 나타나지 않았으며, 알코올 추출물의 경우 50, 100, 150, $200\;{\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 첨가 했을 때 각각 9, 10, 13, 16 mm의 저해환이 관찰되었다. ACE 저해효과는 열수 추출물에서 39.9%의 저해율을 나타내었으나 알코올 추출물에서는 저해활성을 나타내지 않았다. XOase에 대한 억제효과는 열수 추출물이 73.5%, 알코올 추출물이 100%로 저해를 나타내어 XOase에 대한 높은 저해를 관찰할 수 있었다.
