Abstract

As consumers interest in microgreens is increasing worldwide, the production of leafy microgreens uisng different LED lights was investigated in this study. The experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of different LED lights on the composition and vitamin C contents of buckwheat microgreens. Physicochemical properties of buckwheat microgreens grown under different lights (red, blue, and white) and control exposed to a dark room were investigated. Moisture contents of buckwheat microgreens were 95.65% under white light (WL), 95.75% under blue light (BL), 90.77% under red light (RL), and 89.71% under dark room (DR). Crude ash contents of buckwheat microgreens grown under WL, DR, RL, and BL were 0.39%, 0.39%, 0.31%, and 0.37%, respectively. Crude protein contents of buckwheat microgreens grown under DR, RL, WL, and BL were 7.12%, 7.81%, 1.60%, and 2.40%, respectively. Crude fat contents of buckwheat microgreens grown under DR, BL, RL, and WL were 1.12%, 0.54%, 0.35%, and 0.22%, respectively. $^{\circ}Brix$ was the highest in microgreens grown under BL and RL and the lowest in buds grown under DR. Vitamin C content was the highest in buds grown under WL and the lowest in buds grown under BL. Total chlorophyll content was the highest in microgreens grown under RL and the lowest in buds grown under WL. For mineral content measurement of buckwheat microgreens, Ca, K, Mg, and P contents were high whereas B, Cu, and Zn contents were not detected. The mineral contents of buckwheat microgreens according to each color of light showed significant differences. These results demonstrated that treatment of different colored LED lights during cultivation was able to increase vitamin C content up to affecting the nutritional value of buckwheat microgreens.

메밀의 종자를 새싹채소로 개발하기 위하여 청색등(BL), 적색등(RL), 형광등(WL), 암실(DR)에서 새싹채소로 재배하여 수확한 후 각종 이화학적 특성을 연구하였다. 메밀 새싹채소의 수분 함량은 BL 95.75%, RL 90.77%, WL 95.65%, DR이 89.71%였다. 조회분 함량은 BL 0.37%, RL 0.31%, DR 0.39%, WL 0.39%로 조명에 따라 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 조단백질 함량은 RL 7.81%, DR 7.12%, BL 2.40%, WL 1.60%로 RL에서 가장 높았고 WL에서 가장 낮았다. 조지방 함량은 BL 0.54%, RL 0.35%, DR 1.12%, WL 0.22%로 DR에서 가장 높았고 WL에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 당도 측정은 RL과 BL에서 높았고 WL과 DR에서 낮게 나타났다. 클로로필 함량은 DR에서 자란 메밀 새싹채소의 총 클로로필 함량이 높았고 WL에서 자란 새싹채소에서 가장 낮았다. 비타민 C 함량 측정 결과 WL에서 자란 새싹이 가장 높았고 BL에서 자란 새싹에서 가장 낮았다. 무기질 분석 결과 B, Cu, Zn은 측정되지 않았고 Ca, K, Mg 및 P가 높은 수준으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과 메밀의 종자를 다른 색깔의 LED 광조건 하에서 재배한 새싹채소는 이화학적 특성이 조명에 따라 차이가 나타났고, 특히 비타민 C와 무기질 함량등 영양소의 축적에 차이가 있는 것으로 평가되어 이들 새싹채소에 대한 수요가 높은 시점에서 건강에 충분히 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.
