노루궁뎅이 버섯 및 그 추출물의 일반적인 식품의 성분과 기능적 특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 노루궁뎅이 버섯의 조단백질은 8.01%로 나타나 단백질의 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 유리당은 glucose 47.09 mg%, fructose 34.65 mg%의 순으로 나타났으며 sucrose와 maltose는 나타나지 않았다. 유리아미노산은 glutamic acid alanine, threonine과 serine의 순으로 많은 함량을 나타내었다.
The functional properties of Hericium erinaceus were analyzed. The crude protein content was 8.01%. free sugars were mainly composed of glucose(47.09 mg%) and fructose(34.65 mg%), but sucrose and maltose were not detected. The free amino acids were mainly glutamic acid(1,468.12 mg%), alanine(716.07 mg%) and threonine(643.95 mg%) in Hericium erinaceus. It doesn't difference between water and ethanol extract on soluble solid content. Comparing minerals of extracts from Hericium erinaceus, water extract showed higher contents than ethanol extract except for I This tendency is similar to superoxide scavening activity and electron donating activity. But phenolic compounds, ethanol extract was higher than water extract. In comparison of water and ethanol extract of Hericium erinaceus, as a whole water extract was excellent.
