Abstract
Nondialyzable melanoidins prepared from a glucose-glycine system were investigated as to their decolorization and degradation products on of one treatment. Melanoidins were decolorized to degree of $84\%\;and\;97%$ after ozonolysis at $-1^{\circ}C$ for 10 min and 90 min, respectively, and the mean molecular weight of melanoidins decreased from 7,000 to 3,000 after ozonolysis for 40 min. IR measurement showed that the absorption at $1,290\;cm^{-1}$ disappeared and that at $1,720\;cm^{-1}$ newly appeared on ozonolysis, and the absorption at $1,620\;cm^{-1}$ disappeared on acid hydrolysis after ozonolysis. Furthermore, the major degradation products in the ether-soluble fractions obtained from ozone-treated melanoidins were identified as butanedioic acid, glycolic acid, 2-hydroxybutanoic acid and so on. In the aqueous fraction, one or the major products was glycine, which was produced to the level of $1.05\%$ on ozonolysis which increased to $5.75\%$ per melanoidin on acid hydrolysis after ozonolysis. From these findings and the IR results, it is postulated that glycine was considerably incorporated into melanoidin molecules as the amide form.
glucose-glycin 계로부터 조제한 비투석성 melanoidin에 ozone을 작용시켜서, melanoidin의 탈색 및 분해생성을 검토하였다. 그 결과, ozone에 의한 melanoidin의 탈색률은 10분 반응으로 $84\%$, 90분 반응으로 $97\%$에 각각 달하였고, 평균분자량 7,000의 말처리 Melanoidin이 40분의 ozone 처리에 의하여 분자량 3000까지 저분자화하였다. 또한, 적외선흡수스펙트럼의 결과, ozone 처리에 의하여 $1,290\;cm^{-1}$의 흡수가 소실됨과 동시에 $1,720\;cm^{-1}$의 흡수가 새롭게 출현하였고, 산가수분해에 의하여 $1,620\;cm^{-1}$ 흡수가 완전히 소실되었다. 한편 melanoidin을 ozone 처리함으로써 얻어진 에테르 가용성획분 중의 주요분해생성물은 butanedioic acid, glycolic acid 및 2-hydroxybutanoic acid 등이었고, 수용성획분중의 주요분해생성물은 glycine으로서, ozone 처리만으로 $1.05\%$, 산가수분해만으로는 $1.95\%$ 생성되는데 반하여, ozone 처리후 산가수분해함으로써 melanoidin 당 $5.75\%$ 생성되었다. 이 결과와 적외선흡수 스펙트럼의 결과를 함께 비교하여 보면, 일부의 glycine 이 melanoidin 중에 amide 상태로 결합되어 있음은 물론, ozone 처리에 따라 amide 결합이 새로이 형성된다고 생각된다.
