Research Abstract |
In the course of our elucidation of structures of functional constituents in vegetables cultivated in Osaka and their properties on cooking, 14 compounds including hyaluronidase inhibitory and antioxidative fukinolic acid and 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid from leaves of Petasites japonicus and nine compounds including antioxidative chlorogenic acid and rutin from leaves of Arctium lappa were isolated and their structures were determined. The seasonal variation of antioxidants in A.lappa indicated that the content of antioxidants reached the maximum at the best season. Furthermore, both P.japonicus and A.lappa were rich in vitamins. Boiling of leaves of A.lappa resulted in 50% elution of antioxidants into boiling water.
