본 연구는 아로니아 천연 발효종을 사용하여 sourdough starter를 만들고, sourdough starter 첨가량을 0%, 15%, 25%, 35%로 증가하며 모닝빵을 제조할 때 starter 첨가량에 따른 품질특성, 항산화력, 소비자 선호도를 비교하기 위해 수행하였다. 아로니아 sourdough starter 함량이 증가할수록 모닝빵의 pH는 감소하였고, 총산도와 수분함량은 증가하였다. 비용적과 굽기 손실율 또한 sourdough starter 첨가량에 따라 유의적으로 증가하여 35% 첨가군(AS3)에서 가장 큰 굽기 손실율을 나타내었으나(P<0.05), 높이는 25% 첨가군(AS2)이 가장 높고 35% 첨가군에서 급격히 감소하였다. 발효 팽창력의 경우 0-25% 첨가군(AS0, AS1, AS2) 모두 45분까지 유의적으로 증가하였으나(P<0.05), 35% 첨가군은 30분까지만 팽창력이 증가하다가 30분 이후에는 급격히 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 모닝빵의 총 페놀 함량과 DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 아로니아 sourdough starter 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 향상되었으며 (P<0.05), 색도는 첨가량이 증가할수록 밝기(L*)와 황색도 (b*)는 감소하고, 적색도는(a*) 증가하였다(P<0.05). 모닝빵의 조직감 측정 결과 응집성(cohesiveness)은 25% 첨가군이 가장 높고, 경도(hardness), 검성(gumminess), 씹힘성 (chewiness)은 아로니아 sourdough starter 첨가량이 증가할수록 유의적으로 낮게 측정되었다(P<0.05). 소비자 선호도 조사에서는 35% 첨가군의 색에 대한 선호도가 가장 낮았고, 15%와 25% 첨가군이 조직감과 전반적인 기호도가 좋은 것으로 나타났다(P<0.05). 이상의 결과에서 아로니아 sourdough starter를 첨가한 모닝빵의 품질특성, 항산화 활성, 소비자 선호도를 모두 고려할 때에 sourdough starter 는 밀가루 대비 25%를 첨가하는 것이 가장 우수하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study was conducted to determine the contents of phenolic compounds and astragalosides in Astragalus membranaceus. Between the phenolic compound groups, flavonoids compounds (51.13%) had higher average concentrations than the phenolic acids groups. Among the 30 phenolic compounds, quercetin (353.11μg g-1) provided the highest concentrations. According to different cultivation year, 3-year-cultivated Astragalus (2612.57μg g-1) showed the highest concentrations of phenolic compounds. According to different harvest days, 6/5 harvesting Astragalus (2615.80μg g-1) showed the highest concentrations of phenolic acids. Comparison between the top and subterranean parts of harvested Astragalus plants cultivated for 2 years, 3 years, and 5 years showed big difference of total phenolic compounds in concentrations. Further, the top part had higher amounts of the total phenolic compounds than the subterranean part among all Astragalus. This tendency was similar to those of the top root and lateral root. The concentration of the phenolic compounds in the top root was higher than that of the lateral root.

In order to evaluate the effect of seed weight on different aspect of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) seed germination and growth characteristics. Quantity of sinapine leaked from seed was greater as the viability of seeds was dropped by the time elapsed of seed aging model and long storage condition in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.). The cultivar of safflower was Jin-Sun and the seeds that are separated to three different weights of small, middle, and large were used in this experiment. Large seeds revealed the highest germination percent, coleoptiles fresh weight, coleoptiles dry weight, radicle fresh weight and 1000 seed weights than other seed weight. Seed weight had little effect on yield while seed number exerted a positive influence. Interestingly, yield per plant and its major components, number of capsules and capsule weights, revealed a negligible relationship with oil content.

This study was conducted to determine the contents of astragalosides in Astragalus membranaceus. The total astragaloside content (1701μg g-1) of 2 year-cultivated astragalus was the highest among the variously cultivated astragalus plants. Upon an increase in cultivation time, the average value of the total astragaloside content decreased (from 1650μg g-1 to 645μg g-1). Especially, the content of astragaloside decreased rapidly. Comparison between the top and subterranean parts of harvested astragalus plants showed that as the cultivation time increased, the astragaloside content of the top part decreased. On the other hand, the subterranean part demonstrated the opposite pattern. The astragaloside content of the top root increased compared to that in the lateral root (from 1.9μg g-1 to 33.4μg g-1). Further, the content of astragaloside increased in the top root as the cultivation time increased.
