본 연구에서는 양촌 월하시 생감 및 곶감의 유용성분 및 이화학적 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. 월하시 생감과 곶감의 수분함량은 85.52, 47.36%, 조지방은 0.1, 0.13%, 조단백질은 0.30, 1.89%, 조섬유는 0.56, 2.0%를 각각 나타내었고, 수분활성도는 0.994, 0.838, pH는 5.68, 5.73, 당도는 12.6, 를 각각 나타냈다. 색차계를 이용하여 측정한 생감과 곶감의 명도 L값은 외부가 47.58, 37.80,

This study analyzed the major chemical components of raw and dried persimmons (Diospyros kaki Thunb.). Raw and dried persimmons contained (respectively) 85.52% and 47.36% moisture, 0.10% and 0.13% crude fat, 0.30% and 1.89% crude protein, and 0.56% and 2.0% crude fiber. The main free sugar components in both raw and dried persimmons were glucose and fructose. Seventeen amino acids were identified in the dried persimmons, amongst which the dominant ones were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, histidine and arginine. The total amino acid content of raw and dried persimmons was 3,130.76 ppm and 12,849.33 ppm, respectively. The major fatty acids in total lipids were palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid and linolenic acid in both raw and dried persimmons. The raw persimmons had 23.22% palmitoleic acid and 32.70% linolenic acid, suggesting that they have a high ratio of unsaturated fatty acids. The mineral content of both raw and dried persimmons was Na < Fe < Ca < P < K.
