구릿대 뿌리의 생리적 기능과 이용 가능성에 대한 연구의 일환으로 일반성분과 환원당, 유리당, 무기질 성분 및 아미노산의 함량과 아미노산 유도체 등에 대하여 분석하였다. 일반성분 중에는 수분 함유량이 71.7%로 가장 높았으며, 탄수화물 10.6%, 조단백질 9.3%, 조회분 6.6%, 그리고 조지방이 1.9%로 나타났다. 환원당의 함량은 1,850 mg/100 g이었으며, 유리당의 총 함량은 80 mg/100 g으로 sucrose의 함량이 28.
This study was carried out to analyze the components of the Angelica dahurica root for the studies of the physiological function. General components of A. dahurica root were 71.7% moisture, 10.6% carbohydrate, 9.3% crude protein, 6.6% crude ash and 1.9% crude fat. The content of reducing sugar was 1,850 mg/100 g. The total amount of free sugar was 80 mg/100 g, in which 19.3 mg/100 g fructose, 27.8 mg/100 g glucose, 28.4 mg/100 g sucrose and 4.5 mg/100 g maltose were present. In the results of mineral analysis, the content of K was the highest(2,145.03 mg/100 g) followed by 286.35 mg/100 g Mg and 145.23 mg/100 g Ca. The total amount of hydrolyzed amino acid was 71.68 mg/100 g, in which 20.98 mg/100 g essential amino acid and 50.70 mg/100 g of non-essential amino acid were present. Among them, proline(11.74 mg/100 g) was the highest. Total free amino acids were contained 17.04 mg/100 g, in which 6.67 mg/100 g of essential amino acids and 10.37 mg/100 g of non-essential amino acids were present. Among them alanine(5.96 mg/100 g) was the highest. Total content of amino acid derivatives was 3.37 mg/100 g.
