Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the physicochemical and functional properties of Yacon (Polymnia Sonchifolia) powder. The proximate composition of Yacon powder as a dry matter basis was 3.53% moisture content, 1.13% crude protein, 0.40% crude fat, 0.79% crude ash, 1.63% dietary fiber and 92.52% carbohydrate. The major free sugars were identified as fructose and glucose. Analysing total amino acids, 18 kinds of components were isolated from Yacon powder. The essential amino acid contained in Yacon powder accounted for 28.40% of total amino acid, while the non-essential amino acid accounted for 73.61%. Analysing total fatty acids, only 2 kinds - palmitic acid and lauric acid - were detected. Oxalic acid was the major organic acid. The contents of vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E were 0.057 mg%, 0.670 mg% and 0.001 mg%, respectively. The mineral contents of Yacon powder were in the order of Zn

야콘의 생리활성 기능과 이용 가능성에 관한 연구의 일환으로 야콘 분말의 영양성분 및 항산화 활성을 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 야콘 분말의 일반성분은 건물량(dry matter basis)을 기준으로 수분 함량은 3.53%, 조단백질 1.13%, 조지방 0.40%, 조회분 0.79%, 식이섬유소 1.63% 및 탄수화물 92.52%를 함유하였다. 구성당은 fructose가 1320.84 mg/l로 가장 많았고 glucose가 1283.70 mg/l 검출되어 총 2종이 검출되었다. 아미노산은 glutamic acid 함량이 123.12 mg%로 가장 높았고, 다음으로 aspartic acid, proline, arginine, alanine, valine, histidine, lysine순이었다. 구성 지방산 중 포화지방산인 palmitic acid와 lauric acid 2종류의 지방산만 각각 51.72%와 48.28%로 검출되었으며, 불포화지방산은 검출되지 않았다. 유기산은 총 3종의 유기산이 검출되었으며, 이 중 oxalic acid가 2519.29 mg/l로 가장 많았고, 다음으로 benzoic acid 1895.17 mg/l, formic acid 247.84 mg/l 순이었다. 비타민 A, C 및 E의 함량은 각각 0.057 mg%, 0.670 mg% 및 0.001 mg%로 검출되었으며, 무기질은 총 5종의 무기질 성분이 검출되었고, 이 중 K 함량이 가장 많았으며, 다음으로 Na, Ca, Mg 순이었고 Zn의 함량은 미량이었다. 야콘 에탄올 추출물을 n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, n-butanol, water로 계통 분획하여 항산화 활성을 측정한 결과 Rancimat으로 측정한 항산화지수는 pH 1.2 조건에서 분획 중 ethylacetate 분획이 1.45로 가장 높게 나타났으나 양성대조군으로 사용한 BHT 1.83에 비해서는 낮은 활성을 나타내었다. 아질산염 소거능에서도 ethylacetate 분획이 49.82%로 분획 중 가장 높은 아질산염 소거능을 보였으나, 양성대조군인 BHT의 75.29%보다는 낮게 나타났다. 이상의 결과 야콘은 체내 신진대사와 생리활성을 증진시킬 수 있는 영양소들이 다량 함유하고 있으며 항산화 효과를 나타내는 물질을 함유하고 있는 것으로 판단되어 야콘의 기능성 식품으로써의 이용화가치가 한층 더 높아질 것으로 기대해 본다.
