Abstract

복분자는 당도가 낮고 신맛이 강해 과실주로 주로 제조되고 있으며, 복분자주 제조 후 부생되는 주박은 대부분 폐기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재까지 생리활성이 보고된 바 없는 복분자주 주박을 대상으로 열수 추출물, ethanol 추출물 및 이들의 다양한 분획물을 조제하여 항균, 항산화 및 항혈전 활성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 복분자주 주박의 ethylacetate (EA) 분획은 413~459 mg/g의 높은 polyphenol을 함유하고 있으며, 그람양성세균에 대한 강력한 성장억제 활성과, DPPH 음이온, ABTS 양이온에 대한 우수한 radical 소거능, nitrite 소거능 및 환원력을 나타내었다. 또한 혈액내의 thrombin, prothrombin, coagulation factor 에 대한 저해를 통한 혈액응고저해 활성이 우수하였다. 복분자주 주박의 butanol 분획은 우수한 항산화력과 함께 내인성 혈전 생성에 관련된 aPTT 연장활성을 나타내었으며, aspirin에 필적하는 강력한 혈소판 응집저해 활성을 나타내었다. 한편 복분자주 주박의 열수 추출물의 순차적 유기용매 분획 후의 물 잔류물은 aspirin보다 강력한 혈소판 응집저해를 나타내어 새로운 항혈소판제 개발 소재로 이용 가능함을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 폐기되고 있는 복분자주 주박을 이용한 고부가가치 식품 및 향장소재 개발이 가능함을 제시하고 있다. The immature fruit of Rubus coreanus Miquel (bokbunja in Korean) is mainly consumed as a fruit wine due to its sour taste and low sugar content. The lees (LBW) remaining after the production of bokbunja wine are discarded as they have no specific usage. The aim of this study was to develop high-value-added biomaterials for functional foods and beauty/health products by investigating the anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, and anti-thrombosis activities of LBW using ethanol and hot water extracts and their subsequent organic solvent fractions. The ethyl acetate (EA) fraction of LBW extracts has a high polyphenol content (413–459 mg/g), and showed strong anti-microbial activity against gram-positive bacteria. The EA fraction also showed excellent radical-scavenging activity against DPPH anion, ABTS cation, and nitrite, with strong reducing power. The polyphenol-enriched EA fraction strongly inhibited thrombin, prothrombin, and blood coagulation factors. The butanol fraction showed a specific inhibition of coagulation factors, as measured in activated partial thromboplastin time assay, which is linked to intrinsic blood coagulation. The butanol fraction also showed strong inhibition of platelet aggregation, at levels comparable to aspirin. The residue of the hot-water extract, which is produced by sequential solvent fractionation of the LBW extract, showed superior inhibition against platelet aggregation when compared to aspirin. Our results suggest that the LBW, which are currently discarded, are a promising source of novel functional foods and beauty/health products.
