난대성 상록활엽수종의 자원화 및 식품 소재화 탐색을 목적으로 구실잣밤나무(Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii ) 열매(구실잣밤) 추출물의 수율, pH, 당도, 색도, 구성당, 유기산 함량, 페놀 함량 및 항산화활성을 검정하였다. 각 용매에 대한 추출물의 수율은 물 추출물에서 3.6%로 가장 높았고, pH는 6.43의 중성값을 보였으며, 당도는 3.17 를 나타내었다. 색도 중 L값은 83.07, a값은 1.49 그리
This study was carried out to investigate potential applications of the extract of Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii nut as a functional food ingredient. The pH and of nut were 6.43 and 3.17, respectively. L, a and b values as Hunter's color were 83.07, 1.49 and 10.48, respectively. Total content of monosaccharide was 54.26 mg% and organic acids were composed of oxalic acid 495.37 mg%, formic acid 200.03 mg%, malic acid 93.65 mg%, citric acid 27.80 mg%, and succinic acid 16.61 mg%. Total phenolic contents in various solvent extracts were as follows: water 27.69 mg%, 75% ethanol 16.50 mg%, ethyl acetate 16.50 mg%, and methanol 10.30 mg%. The antioxidant activity () of the nut extracts by various solvents was in the order of ethyl acetate 74.88 > methanol 155.00 > n-hexane 213.33 > ethanol 249.33 > butanol 274.78 > chloroform 314.67 > 75% ethanol 848.33 > water extracts 869.67. The results indicated that the extract of C. cuspidata nut contained a potential food ingredient.
