인삼의 천연배지에 상황버섯(Phellinus linteus), 영지버섯(Ganoderma lucidum) 및 노루궁뎅이버섯(Hericium erinaceum) 균사체를 접종한 후 10, 20, 30, 40, 50일 동안 배양된 인삼발효물 80% 에탄올 추출물에 대한 항산화활성을 살펴보았다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 149.63~205.91 mg/g 범위로 영지버섯 균사체 인삼배양물에서 가장 높았다. DPPH법에 의한 항산화활성의 $IC_{50}$값은 1.16~6.48 mg/mL 범위로 노루궁뎅이버섯 균사체 인삼배양물에서 가장 높았고, ABTS에 의한 총 항산화력은 1.37~4.03 mg AA eq/g 범위로 상황버섯 균사체 인삼배양물이 가장 높았다. $alpha$-Glucosidase 억제활성은 50일 배양된 상황버섯 균사체 인삼배양물에서 92.51%로 가장 높게 나타내었으며, tyrosinase 저해활성은 40일 배양된 영지버섯 균사체 인삼배양물에서 13.21%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 인삼을 균사체로 배양할 경우 40일 정도 배양하면 항산화활성이 증가된 인삼제품을 만들 수 있으리라 생각된다.
This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant activities of the cultured ginseng with mushroom mycelia (Phellinus linteus (PL), Ganoderma lucidum (GL), and Hericium erinaceum (HE)) during cultivation periods of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 days. The lyophilized powder from the cultured ginseng with mycelia was extracted with 80% ethanol, and then evaluated for antioxidant activities. Total phenolic contents ranged from 149.63 to 205.91 mg/g, and the highest value was 80% EtOH extract from the cultured ginseng with GL at 30 days. The highest antioxidant activity ($IC_{50}$) for DPPH was 1.16 mg/mL in the cultured ginseng with HE at 40 days, and total antioxidant activity for ABTS was the highest value of 4.03 mg AA eq/g in PL cultivation at 30 days. $alpha$-Glucosidase inhibitory activity was the highest value of 92.51% in EtOH extract from the cultured ginseng with PL at 50 days, and tyrosinase inhibitory activity was highest value of 13.21% in GL cultivation at 40 days. These results suggest that mushroom mycelium cultivation period for enhancement of antioxidant activity might be 40 days.
