Abstract

The several functional properties of freeze-dried powder of Aloe vera gel was examined as influenced by pre-concentration degrees of the gel solution. As a pre-treatment prior to freeze drying, the gel solution was vacuum-concentrated by three levels (unit: g-water/g-solids) - high (H), 76; medium (M), 119; low (L), 159. In FT-IR spectra, the sample H showed the highest absorbance in the range of 1600-1550 $cm^{-1}$ and 1450-1400 $cm^{-1}$, which corresponded to level of the acetyl group in glucomannan. The sample H of freeze-dried powder was the highest in polysaccharide content, jack bean urease inhibition rate, and FAC (fat adsorption capacity). It could be inferred that the sample H had an effect on Helicobacter pylori inhibition and fat adsorption suppression according to urease inhibition rate and FAC, respectively.

Aloe gel의 동결건조에 농축도가 서로 다른 액상 시료를 사용하였을 때 건조분말의 기능성 변화를 비교분석하였다. Aloe의 많은 기능성 중에서 유효 다당류의 농도, 기능성 작용기에 대한 FT-IR 특성, Jack bean urease 저해 효과, FAC(fat adsorption capacity)를 대상으로 하였다. 농축도가 높은 경우에 유효 다당류의 농도, urease 저해 효과, FAC 모두 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. FT-IR의 분석에서는 농축도가 높은 경우에 glucomannan의 acetyl 기에 대한 spectrum 영역인 1600-1550 $cm^{-1}$와 1450-1400 $cm^{-1}$에서 흡광도가 크게 관찰되었다. 결과적으로 Aloe gel의 동결건조시 전처리과정인 농축 공정에서는 농축도가 높을수록 유효다당류의 양과 acetyl기 함량의 수준이 크며, 간접적으로 urease 저해 효과에 따른 Helicobacter pylori의 억제 및 FAC의 증가 효과를 보였다.
