This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics of Sikhyes (SBE-5, SBE-10, SBE-30, and SBE-50) prepared using various concentrations (5%, 10%, 30%, and 50%) of Sasa borealis extracts (SBE). There were no significant changes of pH and total acid contents in Sikhyes prepared with various concentration of SBE. Sikhye SBE-30 and Sikhye SBE-50 showed significantly higher contents in sweetness, reducing sugar, total polyphenol and flavonoid than other Sikhyes. In color, the more SBE was added, each Sikhye appeared the decreasing of L value, the increasing of b value and turbidity. In DPPH radical scavenging activity, there were no difference between Sikhye control (SBE free) and Sikhye SBE-5. But DPPH radical scavenging activity of Sikhye SBE-10, SBE-30 and SBE-50 increased proportionally as the concentration of SBE in Sikhyes were increased. The evaluation for taste tended to get high score in Sikhye SBE-30 and Sikhye SBE-50. The color preference decreased by additon of SBE. Overall preference showed a trend of decreasing in Sikhye SBE-50. These results indicates that the SBE could be beneficiary for preparation of Sikhye due to anti-oxidative effect, and the proper amounts of SBE would be about 30%.

본 연구에서는 활용도가 낮은 메밀껍질을 활용하고자 효소처리 및 습식분쇄에 따른 통메밀 분말의 품질특성을 조사하였다. 습식 분쇄 통메밀 분말의 입도 분석 결과 메밀쌀의 평균 입자크기는 74.84 μm로 통메밀 분말에 비하여 약 4∼5배가량 큰 것으로 나타났으며 습식분쇄 90분 이후에 큰 차이가 없었다. 총 페놀성 화합물 및 총 플라보노이드 함량의 경우 메밀쌀에 비하여 통메밀 분말에서 모두 증가하였으며 분쇄가 진행될수록 조금씩 상승하였다. Rutin 함량 조사결과 메밀쌀 44.10 ppm에 습식분쇄가 진행될수록 함량이 상승하여 습식분쇄 90분에서 152.90 ppm까지 증가한 뒤 이후로는 큰 변화가 없었다. Quercetin의 경우 습식분쇄 시간에 따른 큰 함량변화는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 무기질 함량 조사결과 메밀쌀에 비하여 통메밀 분말에서 Ca, K 및 Mg의 함량이 높게 증가하였으며 Zn 및 Mn이 통메밀 분말에서 검출되었다. 유리아미노산은 통메밀 분말에서 총 유리아미노산 함량이 22.27 mg%로 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 특히 glutamic acid는 14.58 mg%에서 30.45 mg%로 두 배 이상 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과 통메밀 분말 제조를 위한 습식분쇄 시간은 90분이 적절하였으며 통메밀 분말의 경우 메밀껍질의 유효성분의 활용이 가능하였으며 습식분쇄과정을 통한 식감개선이 가능하여 차후 다양한 가공제품으로 활용이 기대된다.

To stabilize the basal extraction conditions of Leonuri herbal products, three kinds of Leonurus sibiricus water extracts were prepared with different extraction conditions (boiling extraction (I), high thermal process & boiling extraction (II), and wet grinding & boiling extraction (III)), and their physiological properties were investigated. The extraction yields of the L. sibiricus water extracts were from 13.02 to 15.90%, with no significant difference among them. The polyphenol contents were significantly high in extracts (II) and (III) than in extract (I). The IC50 for the electron-donating ability was the smallest in extracts (II), (III) and (I) in ascending order. The ABTS radical scavenging ability was significantly higher in extracts (II) and (III) than in extract (I). Also, the ACE in hibition ability for 5 mg/mL of each extract was high in extracts (II) and (III), but there was no significant difference among the three extracts in terms of their nitrite scavenging abilities. Extraction processes (II) and (III) were shown to be useful for preparing Leonurus sibiricus water extracts with healthful properties.

The fusel oils and the volatile flavor compounds of two potato sojues, one of which was produced with the traditional distillation apparatus(soju-gori) and the other, with the reduced pressure distillation system, were examined. The fusel oil content was high in the potato soju that was distilled under reduced pressure (potato soju(II)). The relative ratio of the isoamyl alcohol to the isobutyl alcohol and the n-propanol was 3.1:0.8:1.0 in the potato soju that was distilled with soju-gori (potato soju(I)), and 4.0:1.2:1.0 in potato soju(II). The chromatograms of the volatile components apparently differed between potato soju(I) and potato soju(II). Potato soju(I) contained four kinds of alcohol, six kinds of ester, n-valeraldehyde, and acetic acid. Potato soju(II) contained seven kinds of alcohol, 14 kinds of ester, two kinds of aldehyde, acetic acid, and three other compounds. Potato soju(II) significantly scored higher for flavor property than potato soju(I).
