Abstract
The non-enzymatic browning phenomenons of red ginseng were studied to identify these compounds which function as the factors for browning. The samples were classified into five divisions; Fresh ginseng, blanched ginseng, sun dried red ginseng, dehydrated red ginseng, and browning accelerated red ginseng respectively, and the various compounds in each of them were analyzed quantitatively and investigated the compounds which were thought to function for browning during the drying and the dehydration processes; the results were as follows. 1. The chemical compositions among five divisions did not show any difference except a) total and reducing sugars, b) total acids, c) water soluble extracts; a) and b) were decreased during the drying process, c) was decreased about 6-7% in red ginseng divisions. 2. Sixteen free amino acids; asp., thr., ser., glu., gly., ala., val., cys., met., ileu., leu., tyr., phe., lys., his., and arg, were identified in each division. Among them the arg, was extremly high. All of the essential amino acids were contained, while generally these amino acids were decreased in drying period and their rates were smaller in dehydrated red ginseng than in sun dried red ginseng. 3. Three kinds of sugars; fructose, glucose and sucrose were identified and other four kinds of unidentified sugars were seperated. The content of sucrose was 80% and all kind of sugars were generally less in red ginseng divisions than in the other two divisions. The decreasing rate of sngars was higher in the sun dried red ginseng than in the dehydrated red ginseng. Especially the decreasing rate of the reducing sugars was high as compared with that of sucrose. 4. Almost all the ascorbic acid was decomposed during the blanching whereas there could'nt be shown any change of the ascorbic acid content during the period of drying. 5. Eleven kinds of volatile acids; acetic acid, propionic acid, acrylic acid, iso-butyric acid, n-butyric acid, isovaleric acid, n-valeric acid, isoheptylic acid, n-heptylic acid, and an unknown volatile acid were identified. They showed a little decrease during the period of blanching perhaps on account of their volatility whereas they were increased in drying period. 6. Six kinds of non-volatile acids; citric acid, malic acid,
홍삼(紅蔘)의 갈변(褐變)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)를 하기 위(爲)하여 이의 갈변(褐變)을 비효소적(非酵素的) 갈변(褐變)으로 단정(斷定)하고 어떤 성분(成分)의 작용(作用)으로 일어나는 갈변(褐變)인가를 추구(追究)하고저 수삼(水蔘), 증삼(蒸蔘), 자연건조홍삼(自然乾燥紅蓼), 인공건조홍삼(人工乾燥紅蔘), 인공건조시(人工乾燥時) 갈변촉진홍삼(褐變促進經蔘)으로 구분(區分)하여 이들의 성분중(成分中) 갈변(褐變)에 관여(關與)하는 화학성분(化學成分)들의 소장(消長)을 정량적(定量的)으로 분석대조(分析對照)하였고 홍삼(紅蔘)의 인공건조시(人工乾燥時) 갈변촉진(褐變促進)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)에서 다음과 같은 결과(結果)를 얻었다. 1. 일반성분(一般成分)은 대체(大體)로 시험구간(試驗區間)에 별차이(別差異)가 없었으며 총당(總糖)과 환원당(還元塘)은 조금 감소(減少)하고 총산(總酸)은 홍삼류(紅蔘類)가 조금 높았고 수추출물(水抽出物)은 홍삼구(紅蔘區)들이
