Background : Currently, obesity and adult diseases as a result of sugar intake have been a consistent problem in Korea. Natural sweeteners as sugar substitutes have many advantages over sugar as a small quantity. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate possibility of industrialization as food additives by using the nature sweetness components of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni). Method and Results : Stevia was cultivated in a plastic house. The leaves and stems were harvested at October. They were ground into fine powder using a mill, and were extracted by high temperature and pression extraction method. The extracts were evaporated under vacuum and lyophilized. Three strawberry cultivars of ‘Seolhyang’, ‘Maehyang’, and ‘F22-196’ were cultivated in a plastic house and were harvested from March to May. The fruits harvested were stored at 50℃ until processing. In order to test the processing suitability of stevia extract, the characteristics of the three strawberry varieties (line) were investigated. As a result, the ‘F22-196’ line, which was bred as a processing strawberry, generally contained more antioxidant materials and activity than those of ‘Maehyang’ and ‘Seolhyang’ varieties. Comparing the sugar contents which affects the quality of strawberry jam, the average sugar contents of ‘F22-196’ line was higher than 'Maehyang' and 'Seolhyang' varieties. In the preparation of strawberry jam using ‘F22-196’, strawberry jam was prepared by adding only sugar or stevia extract powder, which was 1/100 of the amount of the sugar in only sugar strawberry jam, to the sensory test. As a result, we identified that sugar jam and stevia jam added stevia extract showed 50 : 50 at the sensory test and stevia jam does not make a difference to the marketing jam at the point of view of general consumers. Conclusion : ‘F22-196’ line represented the best quality for strawberry jam in test caltivars. Stevia powder is judged to be used as a sweetener of sugar substitutes in the production of strawberry jam and processing food.

뽕나무 오디함유 천연색소 C3G의 식용색소화 및 안정생산을 위한 최적 전처리 조건은 0.1 % citric acid-70% EtOH로서 오디로부터 제조한 순수 오디색소 분말의 수율은 8%이었다. 실제 농가에서 오디 색소 추출시 추출 시간 및 제조 비용을 대폭 절감할 수 있는 추출 방법을 개발하였다. 오디색소 추출시 품종의 선택이 중요하므로 C3G 함량이 높은 품종을 선택하도록 해야 할 것이다. 오디 색소 분말은 알코올, 물 및 밀가루 등 식품 재료나 가공방법에 상관없이 적색소의 특성이 유지되므로 다양한 식품에 적용하여 고부가가치를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
