식물함유 항산화성분에 대한 일본 미국의 연구동향 = Antioxidative Components in Higher Plants and Their Researches in Japan and U S A

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Recently, much attention has been focused on the antioxidative defense system by endogenous plant antioxidants that are expected to protect against oxidative damage to membrane functions. Endogeneous antioxidants in plants may play an important role in antioxidative defense against oxidative damage, possibly preserving the biological functions of cells. There is increasing interest in the protective biological function of natural antioxidants contained in dietary plants, which are candidates for the prevention of oxidative damage. New types of lipid-soluble antioxidants β-diketones, tocopherol conjugates, isovitexin, glucosyl-isovitexin, and lignans were isolated in many cases. Water-soluble lignan glucosides and flavonoids were also isolated from sesame and rice seeds. Biological activity and functionality of those plant antioxidants are introduced and discussed to refer the informations for the future scientists.
