Abstract

Lipid and protein contents in whole soybean seeds have negative correlation (r=-0.693**), however, these components in seed coat showed positive correlation (r=0.746**). Fatty acids in whole soybean seeds were higher in the order of $C_{18:2}>C_{18:1}>C_{16:0}>C_{18:3}>C_{18:0}$, while those of seed coat were higher in the order of $C_{18:3}>C_{18:2}>C_{18:0}>C_{16:0}>C_{18:1}$. The average content of total amino acid in twenty Korean soybean varieties was 38,938.7 mg/100 g, while that of seed coat was 4,418.4 mg/100g. Glutamic acid showed the highest composition rate $(16.4\%)$ in whole soybean seeds, while glycine was the highest in seed coat and their composition rate was $23.8\%$. The surface of shiny-lustre seed coats was smooth and their pore size was observed smaller than dull-lustre ones. Significant quadratic regression was observed among seed coat lightness, seed coat thickness, protein, lipid, unsaturated fatty acid and crude fiber. Fucose, rhamnose, glucose, mannose, galactose, arabinose and xylose were detected as a neutral mono-saccharides in the seed coats. The arabinose and xylose showed significant correlation with seed coat lightness. The unsaturated fatty acid was significantly correlated with seed coat lightness (r=0.726**). Water absorption rate was low in the thick seed coat varieties, but the rate was high in the shiny seed coat varieties. From the obtained results, it was considered that the thinner and brighter seed coat varieties were much favorable to increase the water absorption rate than thicker and darker seed coat ones.

콩 종피의 이화학적 특성과 종실광택과의 상호관계를 구명하고자 본 연구를 실시하여 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 콩 종피 표면의 전자현미경으로 관찰 결과 L값이 높은 콩의 종피는 표면이 매끄럽고 pore의 크기가 작았으나 L값이 낮은 콩의 종피는 표면이 거칠고 pore가 비교적 큰 것으로 나타났다. 2. 종피두께가 $70{\mu}m$에 달할 때 까지는 종자의 광택이 증가되지만 그 이상에 달하면 오히려 종실광택이 감소되었고, 종피두께가 두꺼울수록 수분흡수율이 낮으며, 특히 수분흡수 초기에 경향이 뚜렷하였다. 3. 종실광택이 높을수록 수분흡수율은 증가되는데, 수분흡수 초기에는 종실광택의 영향이 작지만 시간이 경과됨에 따라 종실광택이 밝은 품종일수록 수분흡수율이 높았다. 4. 종피의 단백질은 종실광택과 부상관이 있었으나 단백질의 구성성분인 아미노산은 종실광택과 상관이 없었다. 5. 종피의 조지방은 종실광택과 부상관적 요인으로 작용하나 종피에 함유된 불포화지방산은 종피의 광택과 정상관이 있는 것으로 나타나 종피의 광택은 지방산중 불포화지방산의 조성비율이 높을수록 종실이 밝았다. 6.종피의 조섬유 함량은 종실광택과 이차선형관계가 인정되어 종실광택과 밀접한 관계를 맺고 있는 성분으로 판단되었다. 7. 종피의 중성단당류로는 fucose, rhamnose, glucose, mannose, galactose, arabinose, xylose가 함유되어 있었으며, 이들 중 arabinosefl xylose는 종실광택과 정상관이 있었으나 조성비가 가장 높은 galactose는 유의성이 없었다.
