신약개발 이나 건강기능성 식품 개발의 기초 자료 제공을 목적으로 매실 품종별 일반성분을 분석하고 생리활성을 검정한 결과는 아래와 같다. 매실의 개체당 평균 수분 함량은 범위로서 품종간 큰 차이가 없었으며 단백질 함량은 앵숙, 백가하가 다소 높게 나타났지만 품종별로 큰 차이는 보이지 않았다. 조회분의 함량은 천매, 백가하가 앵숙, 남고에 비하여 회분함량이 높은 것을 확인하였으며 매실의 조섬유와 조지방의 함량변화는 품종간 유의적인 차이가 나타나지
This study examined the general components and biological activities of fruit from different cultivars of Prunus mume. The average moisture content of fruit ranged from 89.94-90.62%. The levels of crude protein, crude fat and crude fiber were not significantly different in the different cultivars. In an antimicrobial activity test, methanol extracts showed the highest activity and extracts from the Chunmae and Baekgaha cultivars had higherantimicrobial activity than other cultivars. The extract of fruit. However, there was no antimicrobial activity against the lactic acid- producing bacteria and yeasts, even at a concentration of 1.5 mg/mL or higher. Antimicrobial substances in methanol extracts of the fruit maintained their activity after heating at for 30 minutes and were also unaffected by changes in pH. The antioxidant activities of extracts isolated with different solvents were: methanol > ethylacetate > water> ether> hexane. Antioxidant activity was not significantly different at different harvest times. The antioxidant index of the methanol extract was also the highest in electron donating activity.
