Abstract

The beer brewing process involves malting, milling, mashing, boiling, cooling, and fermentation. Approximately 20 kg of byproducts are produced for every 100 liters of beer brewed, of which brewer’s spent grains (SG), spent hops (SP), and surplus yeasts (SY) account for approximately 85, 5, and 10%, respectively. SG is rich in cellulose, protein, essential amino acids, phenolics and mineral; SP is rich in nitrogen free extract, fiber and protein; SY is rich in proteins and saccharides; where both SP and SY also are rich in prenylflavonoids and hop bitter acids. Although several nutrients or functional components have been found in such beer brewing byproducts, most of these byproducts are used as animal feed and fertilizers since insufficient research has been devoted to the physiological activities for human. To date, only activities of antiobesity and antiproliferation of cancer cells were possessed by SY. Hence, further research is required to clarify the health potential and novel application of these byproducts for environmental protection and other economic activities.

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to determine the variety and amount of various functional components in Scutellaria barbataD. Don as well as study their anti-inflammatory activity on RAW 264.7 cells. Both ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts were shown to contain the functional components including phenolics, flavonoids, chlorophylls, and carotenoids, with the former mainly composed of phenolics and flavonoids, and the latter of carotenoids and chlorophylls. Both extracts could significantly inhibit (p < 0.05) the production of lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, interlukin-6, and interlukin-1β, as well as the expressions of phosphor extracellular signal-regulated kinase and phosphor-c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK), but failed to retard tumor necrosis factor-α expression. Both ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts had a dose-dependent anti-inflammatory activity on RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory efficiency can be varied for both ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts, which can be attributed to the presence of different varieties and amounts of functional components, as mentioned above. This finding suggested that S. Barbataextract may be used as an anti-inflammatory agent for possible future biomedical application.
