Abstract

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of white birch (Betula platyphylla var. japonica) sap with different collection times. The changes of browning index, turbidity, pH, total acidity, organic acid, free sugar, crude protein, crude ash, and mineral content were investigated. The browning index and turbidity increased from 0.076 to 0.222 and from 0.048 to 0.138, respectively, with increasing collection time. The pH decreased from 6.09 to 4.72, while total acidity increased with increasing collection time. Citric and malic acids were detected and malic acid increased with increasing collection time. Glucose and fructose as free sugars were detected and their contents were 0.364~0.433% and 0.497~0.664%, respectively. Crude protein and crude ash contents remarkably increased from 3.40 to 32.37 mg% and from 0.01% to 0.04%, respectively, with increasing collection time. Cu, Fe, Ca, Mg, Mn, and K were detected, and increased with increasing collection time. Particularly, K increased remarkably from 5.25 to 37.27 mg/L over time. These results indicate that the optimum processing method to improve the quality of white birch sap is necessary, because the quality of sap decreased as collection time increased, but nutritional value increased.

자작나무수액의 채취시기에 따른 성분 변화를 분석한 결과 갈변도와 탁도는 수액 채취시기가 늦어질수록 증가하여 각각 0.076~0.222 및 0.048~0.138의 범위를 나타내었으며, pH는 채취 후반부로 갈수록 감소하였으며, 총산도는 증가하였다. Citric acid는 채취 초기에는 검출되지 않았으나 후반기에 미량 검출되었고 malic acid는 채취 후반기로 갈수록 점차적으로 증가하였다. Glucose는 0.497~0.664%의 범위에서 증가하였다가 감소하였고, fructose는 0.364~0.433% 범위에서 채취 후반기로 갈수록 증가하였다. 조단백질 함량은 3.40~32.37 mg%의 범위에서 채취시기 후반기에 크게 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 조회분은 0.01~0.04% 범위에서 수액 채취 후반기로 갈수록 증가하였다. 무기성분으로는 Cu, Fe, Ca, Mg, Mn 및 K이 검출되었고 채취 후반기로 갈수록 증가하였으며, 그중 K는 5.25~37.27 mg/L의 범위에서 채취 후반기에 크게 증가하였다. 이상의 결과는 당류와 무기성분 및 단백질 등의 각종 성분이 함유된 자작나무수액을 이용한 기능성 소재 및 가공식품의 개발에 기초자료로 제공될 수 있을 것이며, 채취 후반기의 수액은 갈변도 및 탁도의 증가로 음용하기에 문제가 있지만, 영양성분의 증가로 인하여 영양적으로 우수할 것으로 판단되므로 수액의 품질을 일정하게 유지하기 위한 적절한 가공법이 적용된다면 자작나무 수액의 이용률 향상에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
