Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the concentration of vitamin C in Momordica charantia (MC) by cultivar, harvest time, and maturity. The methods for determining vitamin C levels were validated by measuring their linearity, specificity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), precision, and accuracy using HPLC. Results showed high linearity in the calibration curve, with a coefficient of correlation ($R^2$) of 0.9994. The LOD and LOQ values for vitamin C were 0.05 and $0.16{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) for intra- and inter-day precision of vitamin C measurements were 2.34 and 1.34%, respectively. Depending on cultivar, the concentration of vitamin C in MC varied from 20.75~107.31 mg/100 g, fresh weight, with an average level $68.85{\pm}25.57mg/100g$, FW. When MC was analyzed by harvest time, the 20150612 MC showed the highest amount of vitamin C ($113.20{\pm}1.89mg/100g$, FW). On the other hand, the highest vitamin C content by maturity was $48.59{\pm}0.87mg/100g$, FW (15 day old MC). This information on the comparative vitamin C levels of MC might be useful to food scientists and should be explored for functional food development.

본 연구에서는 vitamin C 분석법을 검증하고, 국내산 지역별 여주와 재배 시기별, 숙기별 여주의 vitamin C 함량을 분석하였다. Vitamin C 분석법을 검증하기 위해 직선성, 검출한계, 정량한계, 정밀성 및 정확성을 확인하였고, 그 결과 직선성의 상관계수 값은 0.9994, 검출한계는 $0.05{\mu}g/mL$, 정량한계는 $0.16{\mu}g/mL$, 정밀성의 상대표준편차는 intra-day test에서는 2.34 %, inter-day test에서는 1.34%이었고, 정확성인 회수율은 98.66~101.74%로 95% 이상의 높은 회수율을 보였다. 여주는 지역별로 vitamin C를 분석한 결과 20.75~107.31 mg/100 g, FW로 함량 차이가 높았으며, 평균 함량은 $68.85{\pm}25.57mg/100g$, FW로 나타났다. 평균 함량을 기준으로 구분하였을 때, 전라북도 지역에서 재배한 여주는 평균보다 낮은 함량을 보였고, 전라남도 지역에서 재배한 여주는 영암을 제외하고 모두 평균보다 높은 함량을 보였다. 수확시기별 여주의 vitamin C의 함량은 재배 초기 6월까지 vitamin C의 함량이 $113.20{\pm}1.89mg/100g$, FW로 증가하였다가 점차 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 숙기별 vitamin C의 함량은 성장 초기에는 vitamin C의 함량이 0.53~0.68 mg/100 g, FW로 낮은 수준이었지만 숙기 15일차에서는 vitamin C의 함량이 $48.59{\pm}0.87mg/100g$, FW까지 증가하였다가 점차 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이처럼 여주의 vitamin C 함량은 지역별 생육환경에 따라, 재배 시기별, 숙기별에 따라 함량 차이가 나타났으며, 기능성 식품원료의 개발과 추후 연구의 기초자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
