참깨 탈지박에 다량존재하는 수용성 lignan화합물을 $eta$-glucosidase로 처리하여 얻어진 참깨박 추출물의 항산화 효과 및 기존 항산화제들과의 상승효과를 비교, 검토하고자 하였다. 참깨박 추출물 중에서도 sesamin 및 sesamolin이 peak가 확인되었으며, 각각 8.32%(8,315.4mg/100g) 및 0.28%(2,824.5mg/100g)의 함량을 나타냈다. Sesamin과 sesamolin은 배당체의 aglycone으로서 탈지박 중에 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 참깨박 추출물의 항산화효과는 첨가농도가 증가함에 따라 증가되었으며, 이들의 효과는 같은 농도(100ppm)의 $alpha$-tocopherol이나 ascorbyl palmitate 첨가구보다 항산화효과가 우수하였으나 BHA보다는 다소 약한 효과를 보였다. 또한 가수분해 물은 $alpha$-tocopherol과 강한 상승 작용을 보여주었으나 ascorbyl palmitate와는 비교적 약한 상승작용을 나타내었다.
The antioxidant and synergistic effects of sesame oil cake extract treated with $eta$ -glucosidase were examined. The sesamin and sesamolin were identified from the 80% ethanol extract of seame oil cake treated with $eta$ -glucosidase, which suggested the presence of the active substances as their glycosides in sesame seed. The contents of sesamin and sesamolin in sesame oil cake extract were about 8.32% (8,315.4 mg/100g) and 0.28% (2,824.5mg/100g) , respectively. Sesame oil cake extract showed antioxidant activity at concentrations of 50ppm, 100ppm and 200ppm, and the effect was Increased with the addition of sesame oil cake extract. The antioxidant effect of sesame oil cake extract was stronger than that of $alpha$-tocopherol or ascorbyl palmitate, but weaker than of BHT Also, when the sesame oil cake extract(50ppm) was used in combination with $alpha$-tocopherol(50 ppm), the sesame oil cake showed very strong synergistic effect.
