Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate changes in the proximate composition, antioxidant activities, and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity of Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) cladodes cultivated in Jeju (JJ1, JJ2, JJ3) and Jeonnam (JN1, JN2). The difference in the proximate composition (crude protein, lipid and ash content) of OFI between the two regions was not significant. Ca, Mg and Na were the major mineral components of OFI. The ascorbic acid content of OFI ranged from 57.87 to 143.72 mg/100 g. A 70% ethanol extract was used to investigate the antioxidant content and activity as well as the ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of OFI were 38.69~55.29 and 3.33~4.03 mg/g, respectively. The antioxidant activities based on the DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging assays were 45.19~61.52% and 39.15~51.96%, respectively, at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. The inhibitory activity of OFI extracts against rat intestinal ${\alpha}$-glucosidase was 29.72~45.73% at 1 mg/mL concentration, and JN1 showed the highest ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity. This information could be very useful for authentication of Opuntia species with the highest potential as sources of nutritional and therapeutic elements.

본 연구는 재배지역이 다른 보검선인장의 일반성분, 비타민 C, 페놀 화합물 함량, 항산화 활성 및 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성을 평가하고, 기초 자료로 제공하고자 하였다. 보검선인장 줄기의 수분함량은 85~95%이었으며, 조회분이 8.69~16.50%로 가장 높은 비율을 차지하였다. 무기성분 중 Ca이 1,745~4,204 mg/100 g으로 다량 함유되어 있었으며, 비타민 C 역시 57.87~143.72 mg/100 g으로 함량이 높게 나타나, 재배지역에 따라 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 총 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드 함량은 각각 38.69~55.29 mg/g과 3.33~4.03 mg/g으로 지역적인 차이는 크지 않았다. DPPH 및 ABTS 라디칼 소건 활성 역시 45.19~61.52%와 39.15~48.48%로 유사하게 나타났다. ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해 활성은 저농도(1 mg/mL)에서는 29.72~45.73%로 재배지역에 따라 차이를 보였으나, 고농도(10 mg/mL)에서는 68.91~78.51%로 차이가 적어 농도에 따라 저해 활성이 달라짐을 확인하였다. 일반성분, 무기성분 및 비타민 C 함량은 재배지역에 따라 큰 차이를 보였지만, 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량과 환원력 및 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해 활성은 지역적 차이가 적었다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 보검선인장 줄기는 우수한 Ca 급원이 될 수 있으며, 항산화 및 항당뇨 활성으로 인해 건강기능식품의 소재로 활용이 가능할 것이라고 기대된다.
