Abstract

This study was conducted to assess the removal of residual pesticides and to obtain high amounts of quercetin in onion peel extracts (OPEs) by 4 washing treatments. Washing is one of the standard processing steps in obtaining functional food ingredients from onion peel. After a first detergent wash (0.2% w/v) (DW) and hot air drying ($80^{\circ}C$, 24 hr) (B), 4 washing treatments were tested, including a second DW (C), ultrasonication ($50^{\circ}C$, 10 min) plus DW (D), 0.3% $H_2O_2$ (v/v) plus DW (E), and blanching ($95-97^{\circ}C$, 2 min) plus DW (F). This was followed by 60% (v/v) ethanol extraction and vacuum freeze drying of the OPE. The E treatment yielded 89.04% OPE and a quercetin content of 96.84% in the OPE compared with the B treatment, and had the highest efficiency of all treatments tested. The OPE was tested for the presence of 177 residual pesticides and three compounds were detected in all treatments: cyhalothirn, fluquinconazole and procymidone. Cyhalothirn and fluquinconazole levels were below the permitted levels for fresh onion, while procymidone was present in the high level range of 128.01~133.46 mg/kg in all samples. The E treatment was a better washing method than the others for removal of residual pesticides. It could reduce the level of residual pesticides without changing the functional properties of the OPE.

본 연구는 양파껍질로부터 건강기능성식품 기능성원료로서의 양파껍질추출물의 표준화공정을 설정하고자 하였으며, 제조과정 중 지표물질의 추출효율 증대 및 잔류농약 안정성 확보를 위해 여러 세척공정을 통한 quercetin 함량 및 잔류농약 잔존율을 분석하였다. 양파껍질(A)을 1차 1종세척제(이하 세척제) 수세후 건조한 처리구(B), 2차 세척제 처리구(C), 초음파+세척제 처리구(D), 과산화수소+세척제 처리구(E) 및 데치기+세척제 처리구(F)로 처리한 다음 주정추출후 농축 및 진공동결건조하여 양파껍질추출분말을 제조하였다. 양파껍질추출물의 수율 및 지표물질인 quercetin의 수율을 고려하면 과산화수소처리+세척제 처리구(E)가 B처리구에 비해 각각 89.04% 및 96.84%로 추출효율이 가장 높게 나타났다. 모든 시료에서 총 177종의 농약성분 중 cyhalothirn, fluquinconazole 및 procymidone, 3종만이 검출되었는데, cyhalothirn (생양파 허용기준; 0.5 mg/kg), fluquinconazole (0.2 mg/kg)은 각각 0.37-0.68 mg/kg 및 0.35-3.28 mg/kg으로 농축도(27-60배)를 고려하면 허용기준에 안정하였으나 procymidone은 함량이 128.01~133.67 mg/kg으로 높았다. 따라서 양파껍질추출물의 표준화공정을 위해서는 추가적인 물리적 전처리 공정이 필요한 것으로 사료되었다.
