Abstract

In order to elucidate the usefulness of Lycopene, a cherry tomato variety, as a food material, the compositions of free amino acids, amino acid metabolites and polyphenol compounds were analyzed using HPLC and LC-MS/MS method. Lycopene contained eighteen free amino acids except for L-Cys and L-Try. L-Glu was the most abundant free amino acid, followed by L-Gln and L-Asp. The percentages of L-Glu, L-Gln and L-Asp of total free amino acid were 55.5%, 15.9% and 9.9% respectively. Lycopene contained essential amino acids with the exception of tryptophan. The following amino acid metabolites were found : ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid(GABA), carnitine(L-Car), o-phosphoethanolamine(o-Pea), hydroxylysine(Hyl) phosphoserine (p-Ser), N-methyl-histidine(Me-His), ethanolamine($EtNH_2$). Especially, GABA known as a neurotransmitter was present at a high level(305.99 mg/100 g dry weight). We identified the following polyphenol compounds in the cherry tomatoes : caffeic acid-hexose isomer I (CH I), caffeic acid-hexose isomer II (CH II), 3-caffeoylquinic acid(3-CQA), 5-caffeoylquinic acid(5-CQA), caffeoylquinic acid isomer(CQAI), quercetin-hexose-deoxyhexose-pentose(QTS), quercetin-3-rutinoside(Q-3-R), di-caffeoylquinic acid(di-CQA), tri-caffeoylquinic acid(tri-CQA), naringenin chalcone(NGC). Large quantities of Q-3-R and NGC known as bioactive compounds were found. These results revealed that Lycopene variety contained various nutritional and bioactive compounds and would be a potent functional food material.

본 연구에서는 방울토마토 라이코펜 품종의 식품학적 유용성을 알아보기 위해 유리아미노산, 아미노산 대사물질 및 폴리페놀 화합물의 조성을 분석하였다. 방울토마토 라이코펜 품종은 L-Cys과 L-Try을 제외한 18종의 유리아미노산을 함유하고 있었다. 방울토마토 라이코펜 품종의 유리아미노산 중 L-Glu이 건조 중량 100 g 당 2,499.02 mg이 함유되어 전체 아미노산 중 55.5%를 차지하고 있어 유리아미노산 중 가장 많은 함유량을 보였다. 그리고 L-Gln이 전체 아미노산 중 15.9%, L-Asp가 9.9% 함유되어 있어 L-Glu, L-Gln 및 L-Asp가 전체 아미노산 함량의 81% 이상을 차지하는 주요 구성 아미노산임을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 트립토판을 제외한 히스티딘, 이소류신, 류신, 라이신, 메티오닌, 페닐알라닌, 트레오닌 및 발린 등 필수아미노산이 고루 함유되어 있어 영양적인 측면에서 좋은 식품소재로 판단된다. 라이코펜 품종은 ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid(GABA), carnitine(L-Car), o-phosphoethanolamine(o-Pea), hydroxylysine(Hyl) phosphoserine(p-Ser), N-methyl-histidine(Me-His), ethanolamine($EtNH_2$) 등 아미노산 대사물질을 함유하고 있었으며 이 중 GABA가 건조 중량 100 g 당 305.99 mg으로 유리아미노산 대사물질 중 가장 많이 함유되어 있었다. LC/MS/MS 분석을 통해 라이코펜 품종으로부터 caffeic acid-hexose isomer I (CH I), caffeic acid-hexose isomer II (CHII), 3-caffeoylquinic acid(3-CQA), 5-caffeoylquinic acid(5-CQA), caffeoylquinic acid isomer(CQAI), quercetin-hexose-deoxyhexose-pentose(QTS), quercetin-3-rutinoside(Q-3-R), di-caffeoylquinic acid(di-CQA), tri-caffeoylquinic acid(tri-CQA), naringenin chalcone(NGC) 등 10종의 폴리페놀 화합물을 확인하였다. 특히, 항알러지효과, 2형 당뇨 억제 및 비만억제효과를 보이는 NGC이 건조 중량 100 g 당 67.6 mg으로 가장 많이 함유되어 있었고 Q-3-R이 50.9 mg으로 다량 함유되어 있었다. 결과적으로 방울토마토 라이코펜 품종은 18종의 유리아미노산과 트립토판을 제외한 8종의 필수아미노산이 고루 함유되어 있고 GABA, NGC, Q-3-R 등 생리활성 물질이 다량 함유되어 있어 영양이나 건강 측면에서 매우 유용한 식품 소재라 할 수 있다.
