Outline of Final Research Achievements

For rapid screening of anti-allergic substances from edible plants, QuEChERS method for extraction and Peason's correlation coefficient for selection of important target compounds were newly developed. Using these kinds of new techniques, sweet potatoes, Naruto kintoki, and onions were found to have great activities. Quercetin 4’-glucoside was responsible for anti-allergy of onions. During cooking of onions and sweet potatoes, Anti-allergy activity did not decrease. Moreover, in some cases, activity was increased during the processing and boiling. These results indicate the importance of cooking process in our daily life and also useful evidence for reduction of chemical drugs and keeping of our healthy life.
