우산나물의 식품학적 가치와 기능성 식품 소재로서의 개발 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 우산나물의 지상부와 뿌리에 함유된 수용성 단백질과 당, 아미노산, 무기질 그리고 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드 화합물의 함량을 측정하였다. 지상부의 수용성 단백질은 210.36 mg%였으며 뿌리는 870.42 mg%, 환원당은 지상부 848.12 mg%, 뿌리 1,420.91 mg%, 그리고 유리당은 각각 14.85 mg%와 355.00 mg%로 뿌리의 glucose 함량이
We measured the levels of soluble protein, sugar, free amino acids, minerals, total polyphenols, and flavonoid compounds in Syneilesis palmata as part of a study on nutritional and functional materials for development of valuable foods. The content of soluble protein in the aerial and root portions were 210.36 mg% and 870.42 mg%, respectively. The amount of reducing sugar was 848.12 mg% (aerial parts) and 1,420.91 mg% (roots), and that of free sugar was 14.85 mg% in aerial parts and 355.00 mg% in roots. The free amino acid level in aerial parts was 1,613.10 mg% and that in roots was 3,282.96 mg%. The mineral content of aerial parts was 3,531.53 mg% and that of roots was 1,878.34 mg%. The K, Ca, and Mg levels were greater than those of other minerals, with K comprising more than 75% of the total mineral content. The levels of polyphenol and flavonoid compounds in aerial parts were 1,920.00 mg% and 843.95 mg%, respectively, and those in roots were 487.56 mg% and 91.07 mg%, respectively.
