Abstract:

Objective: To develop health drink containing functional ingredients of perille and to evaluate its antioxidant effect. Methods: Perilla extract was obtained from the fresh purple perilla leaves by the steps of pretreatment, enzymolysis and acid extraction. The best formula of drink was determined by orthogonal test and sensory analysis. Then experimental mice were fed the perilla drink for 28 days and their blood samples from eyes were collected. Finally, the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in serum were analyzed with reagent kits. Results: The perilla health drink obviously reduces the serum MDA level (p<0.05), and significantly improves the SOD activity (p<0.05) in mice. Conclusion: Perilla health drink has antioxidant and delay-aging function for mice.

Key words: perilla, healthy drink, antioxidation, MDA, SOD
