양파의 매운 맛과 냄새를 감소시켜 섭취가 용이하도록 흑양파를 제조하고자 하였으며, 제조조건을 선발하기 위해서 숙성온도, 양파 크기, 그리고 양파 외부의 처리방법을 다르게 하여 흑양파를 제조하고, 각각의 흑양파 물 추출물에 대한 항산화 효과를 평가함으로서 흑양파를 새로운 식품 소재로 사용할 수 있는 흑양파 제조의 기초자료를 조사하였다. 온도에 따른 흑양파 제조효과에서 온도 증가에 따라 갈변효과가 증가하였다. 양파의 크기별은 100 g의 작은 양파와

The main objective of this study was to manufacture black onions using different methods, and to analyze the color and physiological and antioxidant activities of their water extracts. Black onions were produced via high-temperature aging (70, 80, and ). At , onions with different weights (large, 90-L; medium, 90-M; and small, 90-S) and small onions with different appearances (whole, 90-S-W; cut, 90-S-C; and peeled, 90-S-P) were also produced. The colorimetry measurements showed that the extract from the 90-S-C black onion had the highest value among all the extracts from all the black onion groups. The extract from the 90-S-C black onion had a 3.3 times higher total phenol content than that from the black onion extract (11.62 and 3.51 mg/g, respectively). The DPPH radical scavenging activities of the extracts from 90-S-W, 90-S-C, and 90-S-P were higher than those of the other black onion extracts, and the 90-S-C black onion extract had the highest level of 48.3% (at the concentration of 10 mg/ml). The 90-S-C black onion extract also had the highest level of antioxidant activities (ABTS radical scavenging activity, 0.84 mg AA eq/100 g, and nitrite scavenging ability, 49.8%). These results clearly demonstrated that 90-S-C was the best among the conditions used and that the water extract of the 90-S-C black onions had a significantly higher level of antioxidant activities than the extracts from the other black onions.
