Abstract

In order to promote the utilization of Rubus coreanus Miquel as a functional food, its physicochemical properties were examined during maturation. Crude protein, crude ash, and dietary fiber contents were highest in the unripened fruit, but decreased thereafter; whereas as moisture and the soluble solid contents showed a reverse pattern. The free sugar concentration of the middle-ripened fruit (0.7 g/100 g) increased as it became a ripened fruit (4.1 g/100 g). Also, the acidity of R. coreanus Miquel was at its highest concentration in the middle-ripened fruit at 3.38%. Seventeen types of amino acids were analyzed from R. coreanus Miquel during maturation. The highest amino acid components in the unripened fruit were aspartic acid (546.55 mg/100 g) and glutamic acid (452.22 mg/100 g). Among the minerals studied during this research, R. coreanus Miquel contained a high level of potassium. The potassium concentrations of the unripened fruit, middle-ripened fruit, and ripened fruit were 306.0, 191.1, and 164.1 mg/100 g, respectively.

복분자딸기(Rubus coreanus Miq.) 과실부의 성숙시기(미숙과, 중간숙과, 완숙과)에 따른 이화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 수분함량은 복분자딸기가 완숙과가 되었을 때 100g당 81.4g으로 가장 크게 증가하였으며, 단백질${\cdot}$회분${\cdot}$식이섬유는 미숙과일때가 중간숙과와 완숙과에 비하여 약간 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 과실이 성숙 할수록 당도와 유리당 함량은 증가하였으며, 산도는 중간숙과 일 때 3.38%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 복분자딸기 미숙과, 중간숙과, 완숙과에서는 17종의 아미노산이 분리되었으며, 이 중 aspartic acid의 함량이 가장 높았으며 각각 546.55, 383.56, 375.08 mg% 함유되어 있었다. 총 아미노산 함량의 경우도 과실이 성숙될수록 아미노산 함량이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 무기질 함량은 과실의 성숙도와 관계없이 전체적으로 칼륨의 함량이 가장 높았으며, 그 외 Ca > Mg > P > Na > Fe 순으로 함유되어 있다. 또한 총 무기질 함량은 미숙과가 중간숙과나 완숙과에 비하여 높은 값을 나타내었다.
