본 연구는 뿌리를 저근백피라는 한방생약재로 사용하는 가죽나무(Ailanthus altissima)의 뿌리와 줄기 그리고 잎을 기능성 식품을 개발하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 영양정분과 생리활성 물질의 함유량을 측정하였다. 일반성분을 분석한 결과 뿌리에는 조회분(9.20%)과 조단백질(7.86%)이 많았으며, 잎에는 조단백질(11.36%) 그리고 줄기에서는 탄수화물(81.74%)의 함유량이 비교적 높았다. 수용성 단백질은 잎에서 9,839.52 mg%

This study was carried out to analyze the components of the roots, stems, and leaves of Ailanthus altissima to obtain basic data on the nutritional and functional materials developed a functional food with A. altissima. Among the general components, crude ash (9.20%) in the roots, crude protein (11.36%) in leaves, and carbohydrates (81.74%) in stems were higher than other parts. The content of soluble protein was the highest 9,839.52 mg% in leaves. Reducing sugar and free sugar in roots were 1,813.94 mg% 1,140.20 mg% and 1,670.98 mg% 1,190.42 mg% in leaves, respectively. The contents of free amino acid (2,018.58 mg%) in roots were higher than leaves (1,070.88 mg%) and stems (427.55 mg%). Especially arginine (1,446.63 mg%) and aspartic acid (252.82 mg%) in roots were the highest. Total content of amino acid derivatives were 780.70 mg% in leaves and 430.95 mg% in roots. Especially, taurine was 61.68 mg% in roots. In the results of mineral analysis, the contents of Ca, K and Mg which account for 83% to 98% of mineral contents, were high in all parts. The polyphenol compounds in leaves and water extract of leaves were 821.58 mg% and 8,040.35 mg%. And contents of flavonoids were 2,501.67 mg% in leaves and 13,592.20 mg% in ethanol extract of leaves, respectively.
