“…지금까지 들깨를 이용한 연구로는 항산화나 항염증에 대 한 연구 (15,16)가 주로 이루어져 왔으나 들깨 새싹 추출물을 대 상으로 항산화 효과와 항염증 그리고 부종 억제에 대해 연구한 결과는 없는 실정이다. 들깨 새싹에서의 기능은 아직까지 알려지 지 않았기 때문에 이 품종을 대상으로 그 기능을 연구할 필요가 있다.…”

We investigated the effects of an ethanol extract from Perilla frutescens sprouts (PFSE) as an antioxidant, and its effects on edema and inflammation in RAW 264.7 cells and HMC-1 cells. The antioxidant activities (DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging) of PFSE were similar to those of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and (±)-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox). We also investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of PFSE on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and HMC-1 cells stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) with the calcium ionophore A23187. TNF-α and IL-1β production, which had been increased by treatment with LPS or PMA plus A23187, were significantly inhibited by PFSE in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, PFSE significantly reduced the xylene-induced ear edema and the carrageenan-induced paw edema of ICR mice in a dosedependent manner. The effects of PFSE (200 mg/kg) in reducing ear and paw edema were similar to those of aspirin (50 mg/kg). These results suggest that PFSE can be potentially used as a medicine for treating oxidative stress, an edematous and inflammatory disease.

“…Lignans comprise sesamin, sesamolin, and a small amount of sesamol (Namiki, 1995). They have multiple physiological functions, such as decreasing blood lipids (Hirata et al, 1996) and arachidonic acid levels , increasing antioxidative ability (Ghafoorunissa, 2004) and γ-tocopherol bioavailability (Lemcke-Norojarvi et al, 2001) and providing anti-inflammatory function (Hsu et al, 2005).…”

“…The seeds and oil have been known as traditional health foods and have been used in ancient Chinese medicine for a long time. It was claimed in ancient Chinese books that consumption of sesame seeds (Chih-Ma in Chinese) provides high-energy and prevents aging (Namiki, 1995). However, the scientific evidence of those miraculous functions, especially the prevention of aging, has not been well established (Chen et al, 2005a).…”

“…However, the scientific evidence of those miraculous functions, especially the prevention of aging, has not been well established (Chen et al, 2005a). Literatures have reported a number of health benefits accruing from the consumption of sesame seeds and sesame oil (Namiki, 1995;Yamashita et al, 1995;Hirata et al, 1996;Abou-Gharbia et al, 1997;Nakano et al, 2002). Sesame seed has been recently of particular interest as a promising source for preventing or slowing carcinogenesis by means of continual administration of its beneficial compound(s) with few side effects (Sheng et al, 2007).…”

Sesame seed is widely used in food and nutraceutical industries in many countries because of its high oil, protein and antioxidant contents. Sesame oil contains sesamin, sesamolin and sesaminol lignan fractions, which are known to play an important role in its oxidative stability and antioxidative activity. It is widely known as one of the natural health promoting foods that has the potential to prevent various disorders such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia cancer and aging. Additionally, sesame oil may be useful in managing oxidative stress-associated diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, obesity, chronic renal failure, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, sesame oil has multiple physiological functions such as decreasing blood lipids and arachidonic acid levels, increasing antioxidative ability and γ-tocopherol bioavailability, and providing anti-inflammatory function and potential estrogenic activity. Many health promoting effects are attributed to its lignans. Hence, this article highlights and discusses the potential health promoting effects of sesame and its oil with emphasis on the contribution of lignans.

“…Not only are its seeds used for the production of oil, but it is also used in the manufacturing of tahini paste and in food formulations, such as Halaweh (sweetened tehineh), java beans, and salads (Namiki 1995). Sesame seeds are composed of oil (44% to 58%), protein (18% to 25%), carbohydrates (13.5%), and ash (5%) (Kahyaoglu and Kaya 2006).…”

Bioethanol Production with Cellulase Enzyme from Bacillus cereus Isolated from Sesame Seed Residue from the Jazan Region

et al. 2018

Bio-ethanol is considered as an important renewable fuel to partly replace fossil-derived fuels. In this study, bioethanol production, which includes cellulase production, saccharification of the cellulose content of sesame seed residue, and ethanol production, was investigated. Out of the hundreds of cellulase-producing bacterial strains isolated from sesame seed residue during this study, the B isolate was found to have the highest cellulase enzyme production. This isolate was identified as Bacillus cereus by 16S rRNA sequencing. The effects of different growth parameters, including inoculum concentration, incubation time, temperature, pH, and carbon and nitrogen sources, were investigated to optimize the growth conditions of the bacterifum. The maximum cellulase activity was achieved with an inoculum concentration of 3% after 48 h in a basal medium at a pH of 7 and an incubation temperature of 35 °C. The best nitrogen and carbon sources were yeast extract and sesame seed residue, respectively. The results showed the liberation of 2.3 g/L of reducing sugar by the dinitrosalicylic acid method. This total reducing sugar produced 15 g/L of ethanol after 48 h when Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used as a fermentation agent. Hence, bioethanol was successfully produced from the cellulose of sesame seed residue using the cellulase enzyme from B. cereus.
