에너지 음료는 카페인을 주성분으로 타우린, 비타민 같은 다른 energy-enhancing 성분을 함유하고 있다. 미국과 유럽에서는 글루쿠로노락톤이 에너지 음료에 첨가될수 있으나, 국내에서 의약품으로는 허가되어 있다. 따라서 식품 첨가물로는 그 사용이 금지 되어 있어, 지속적으로 수입 및 유통 음료에서 시험검사를 하여 규제하고 있다. 현재 분석법으로 사용하는 LC-PDA 법은 복잡한 유도체화 과 정을 거치고, 음료 중에 당류들이 위양성 결과를 나타내 기도 한다. 이런 기존 방법의 단점을 개선하기 위해 HILICESI- MS/MS (hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry) 를 이용한 분석법을 개발하고, 선택성, 직선성, 검출한계, 정량한계, 정밀도, 정확성, 재현성에 대하여 분석법 유효성 검증을 수행했고, AOAC, EURACHEM 가이드라인에 부합되는 결과를 얻었다.

“Jecy Gold” is a new kiwifruit variety developed at the National Institute of Subtropical Agriculture (NISA), RDA in 2003, which was for the utilization as fruit with yellow flesh and high soluble solids. This variety was selected from seeds obtained from the cross breeding between Actinidia chinensis cv. “Golden Yellow” and A. chinensis cv. “Songongu” with yellow flesh in 1997. Seedling and line selections were conducted from 1998 to 1999, and characteristic trials were carried out from 2000 to 2002. After developed, it was also conducted to the test of adaptability in kiwifruit orchards of Jeju island from 2003 to 2006. The branch of “Jecy Gold” sprouts strongly and the color of leaf is slightly dark green. The shape of fruit is obovoid, and the color of peel is yellowish-brown without hair. The average weight of fruit is 128.4 g. The core is middle and soft, the percicarp is golden yellow, and the texture is fragile and juicy. Soluble solids concentration is 14.8 oBrix. The total acid content is 0.69% and the fruit yield is higher about 30% than that of A. deliciosa cv. “Hayward”. The content of vitamin C is higher than that of A. deliciosa cv. “Hayward”. The harvesting time is from late October to early November and the fruit can be preserved about 90 days at 2°C. This variety can be planted bellow 100 m sea level and should be grown under shelter to prevent from disease and cold. This variety will be cultivated about 100 ha by 2011 in the southern part of Korea and has been supplied about 10 ha in 2007.
