This study was carried out to evaluate biological activities concerning extracts according to extraction methods from unripened fruit of Rubus coreanus Miq. The extraction methods were HWE (hot water extraction for 4 hr at 100℃), SFE (extraction for 3 hr at 40℃ under 300 bar, 100% of CO2 fluid), USE (ultrasonification extraction for 4 hr at 50℃ with water), USE+HWE (hot water extraction for 2 hr at 100℃ after ultrasonification process for 2 hr), VE (vacuum extraction for 4 hr at 90℃ under 0.9

... r with water). VE extract showed the highest contents of total polyphenol (178.78±3.79 mg/g) and total flavonoid (40.93±0.68 mg/g). IC50 values of DPPH radical scavenging activity, linoleic acid peroxidation inhibition activity and LDL (low density lipoprotein) oxidation inhibition activity of HWE extract showed the lowest 35.39±0.25 μg/mL, 12.61±0.31 μg/mL and 1.31±0.02 μg/mL among other all extracts, respectively. IC50 values of α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of VE and HWE extracts showed lower 14.34±0.20 μg/mL and 15.83±0.20 μg/mL than those of other extracts, respectively. Specifically, HWE and VE extracts have relatively better biological activities than other extracts; these could be potentially used as a bioactive source for health functional foods.
