Abstract

The ATP related compounds play an important role in a taste of traditional salt-fermented seafoods (Jeotkals). The ATP related compounds were analyzed in the traditional anchovy Jeotkal during fermentation and 11 kinds of commercial Jeotkals by enzymatic method compared with existing HPLC method, In the traditional anchovy Jeotkal, the contents of $ATP{\~}IMP$ decreased during fermentation, while the contents of Hx reached maximum value at 60 days fermentation and thereafter decreased gradually. Uric acid was detected at 30 days fermentation and showed the gentle increment after that. In the commercial Jeotkals, uric acid was detected $14.6{\~}28.4{\%}$ of total ATP related compounds content by enzymatic method, while it was not detected by HPLC method. From these results, enzymatic method is more accurate than HPLC method for analysis of the ATP related compounds in Jeokals.

젓갈 중의 ATP 관련물질의 정확한 분석방법을 확립하기 위하여, 전통적인 방법으로 멸치젓갈을 상온 ($20{\pm}2{\circ}C$)에서 90일 동안 숙성시키면서 숙성 중의 ATP 관련물질, 그리고 시판 젓갈류의 ATP 관련물질을 HPLC법과 효소법으로 측정하여 비교하였다. 효소법에 의한 멸치젓갈의 $ATP{\~}IMP$ 함량은 숙성기간에 따라서 감소하여 90일 후에는 극미량을 나타내었으며, HxR은 50일까지 $1.83 {\mu}mole/g$로 최고값을, 그리고 Hx은 $50{\~}70$일에 $5.22{\~}5.23{\mu}mole/g$로 최고값을 나타내었으며, 그 이후로 감소하였다. 요산량은 30일 후에 $0.87{\mu}mole/g$로 검출되기 시작하여 그 이후로 증가하였으며, ATP 관련물질 총량은 숙성기간이 길어짐에 따라서 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 시판 젓갈 중의 $ATP{\~}IMP$, HxR및 Hx함량은 HPLC법과 효소법에 의한 측정값이 거의 비슷하였으며, HPLC법으로는 요산이 검출되지 않았다. 한편, 효소법으로 측정한 요산량은 $0.92{\~}2.29{\mu}mole/g$ 범위로 ATP 관련물질 총량의 $14.6{\~}28.4{\%}$를 차지하였다. 이상의 결과로부터, 젓갈 중의 ATP 관련물질은 요산도 검출이 가능한 효소법으로 분석해야 할 것이다.
