This study investigated phenolic compounds and radical scavenging activities of rapeseed plants according to cultivar and growth stage. For 1st, 2nd, and 3rd harvested rapeseed plants, total polyphenol contents were 12.56~15.85, 10.28~13.17, and 9.94~16.01 mg gallic acid equivalents/g sample, respectively; total flavonoid contents were 9.86~11.05, 10.41~13.06, and 8.18~16.64 mg catechin equivalents/g sample, respectively; total chlorophyll contents were 17.26~21.66, 19.31~24.95, and 22.16~38.39 mg/g sample, respectively; and total glucosinolates contents were 31.13~46.22, 28.51~34.72, and 22.18~30.58 mg SE/g sample, respectively. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities of rapeseed plants were 3.26~5.91 and 10.69~17.17 mg trolox equivalents/g sample, respectively. FRAP activities of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd harvested rapeseed plants were 142.88~63.93, 37.97~61.24, and 32.93~52.36 mM/g sample, respectively. Phenolic compounds and radical scavenging activities of rapeseed plants were found to be high in Halla, Yuryeo, and Yeongsan cultivars. Overall, phenolic compounds and radical scavenging activities of rapeseed plants tended to decrease as the harvest time was delayed. These results indicate that more research on functional ingredients and physiological activities of rapeseed plants is needed to diversify their fields of use.

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) oil is mostly refined oil (RO). However, with increasing interest in health, the consumption of cold-pressed oil (CPO) without chemical refining is increasing in Korea. In this study, quality characteristics of CPO from rapeseed varieties ‘Jungmo7001’, ‘Jungmo7002’, ‘Jungmo7003’,and ‘Yuryeo’were evaluated and compared with RO, a commercial product. L-value and a-value were lower while b-value was significantly higher for CPO than those for RO. Analysis of fatty acid compositions of each oil revealed that CPO from ‘Yuryeo’contained the highest oleic acid at 74%. Analyses of contents of bioactive compounds in CPOs and RO revealed that contents of tocopherol, β-carotene, and canolol were the highest in CPOs from ‘Jungmo7003’, ‘Jungmo7002’, and ‘Jungmo7001’at 55.5, 0.3, and 0.2 mg/100 g, respectively. In addition, CPOs contained higher contents of bioactive compounds than RO, suggesting that CPO could provide health benefits. The induction period of CPOs measured using Rancimat were 9∼52% longer than that for RO, indicating that CPOs had a higher oxidative stability under given conditions. These results could be used to obtain basic data on quality of domestic rapeseed varieties.

본 실험에서는 외인성 효소 첨가제 및 혼합 세균 배양을 통한 고상발효(Solid-state fermentation, SSF)가 채종박(Rapeseed meal, RSM)의 체외건물소화율(In vitro dry matter digestibility, IVDMD) 및 단쇄지방산(Short chain fatty acid) 생성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 외인성 효소 칵테일(첨가 및 미첨가) 및 RSM에 대한 SSF(발효 및 비발효)를 나타내는 2 x 2 요인 설계가 적용되었다. 3-step 돼지 소화율 모델을 적용하여 채종박의 건물 소화율을 분석하였으며, 72시간 대장발효 후 상층액을 수집하여 단쇄지방산 생성량을 분석한 후 칼로리 단위로 변환하여 가소화에너지 소화율을 분석하였다. 소장 (IVDMDh) 및 전장 (IVDMDt) 건물소화율에서는 고상발효된 채종박이 더 높게 나타났다 (각각 p < 0.01). 마찬가지로, 외인성 효소 첨가제 처리구에서 채종박의 소장 소화율(IVDMDh)이 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다(p = 0.06). Acetic acid 및 butyric acid의 생산은 대조구에 비해 고상발효 처리 시 유의하게 더 생산되었으며 (각각 p < 0.01), 이는 총 단쇄지방산의 생산 증가 경향을 나타냈다(p = 0.09). 에너지 소화율에서는 채종박의 고상발효 및 외인성 효소제 첨가가 유의적으로 높게 나타났다 ( p < 0.01). 그러므로 채종박의 고상발효 처리는 단백질 이용성을 비롯한 영양적 가치를 향상시키는데 효과적이라고 사료된다.

In this study, quality properties of rapeseed oil by different roasting temperatures (140, 160, 180, and 200℃) were investigated. Roasted-pressed oil (RPO) showed a decrease in lightness and an increase in redness and yellowness with an increase in temperature compared to cold-pressed oil (CPO). In addition, the β-carotene and tocopherol content also increased in RPO as the roasting temperature increased. The tocopherol content increased by 18~20% in RPO at 200℃ compared to CPO. This increase in bioactive components led to improved radical scavenging activity dependent on roasting temperature, and RPO at 200°C showed a 2.7-fold improvement compared to CPO. Finally, it was observed that higher roasting temperatures resulted in an extended oxidation induction period, increasing by up to 3.3 times. In conclusion, roasting is an effective method for enhancing the oil functionality of domestic rapeseed varieties. This study provides basic data for producing high-quality oil.

Herbicide-resistant transgenic rapeseed (TG rapeseed) was developed by inserting phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT, bar), a modified gene from the soil bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus, into the genome of a conventional variety of rapeseed (Youngsan). The TG rapeseed used for the test was confirmed to express the PAT gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunostrip. Feeding tests were conducted with Cyprinus carpio to evaluate the environmental risk of TG rapeseed, including the herbicide resistant gene. C. carpio was fed 100% ground rape suspension, TG rapeseed, or non-genetically modified (GM) counterpart rapeseed (Youngsan). As a result, the feeding test showed no significant differences in the cumulative immobility or abnormal response between C. carpio samples fed on TG rapeseed and non-GM counterpart rapeseed. The 48 h-LC50 values of the TG rapeseed and the non-GM counterpart rapeseed were 3,376 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: 3,169 - 3,596 mg/L) and 2,682 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: 2,267 – 3,123 mg/L), respectively. The rape NOEC (no observed effect concentration) value for C. carpio was suggested to be 625 mg/L. Based on these results, there was no significant difference in the toxicity for non-target organisms (C. carpio) between the TG rapeseed and non- GM counterparts.

This study was conducted to investigate the optimum supplementation ratio when replacing cotton seed meal with rapeseed meal for cultivating oyster mushrooms. The chemical properties among the treatments were pH 4.5~4.7, total carbon content was 46.3~46.5%, total nitrogen content was 1.6~1.7%, and carbon-nitrogen ratio was 27.0~27.8. These did not differ significantly from the control. Mycelial growth was 85.1 mm (Heuktari), and 72.8 mm (Suhan-1Ho) in medium containing 5% rapeseed meal, with no significant difference in mycelial density between cultivars. Fruiting body characteristics are as follows: In 'Heuktari', the color of the pileus was darker than control with an L value of 32.5, and pileus thickness and diameter were 3.2 mm and 27.6 mm, respectively. Stipe length and diameter were 86.0 mm and 9.1 mm, respectively. Valid stipe number per bottle (1,100 cc) was 25.9, and a yield of 189.7 g/1,100 cc was recorded in mixed medium containing 5% rapeseed meal (higher than control). In mixed medium containing 10% rapeseed meal, the yield was 184.5 g/1,100 cc (comparable to control). In 'Suhan-1Ho', supplemented with 5% rapeseed meal, pileus color was darker than control color, with an L value of 28.8. Pileus thickness was 4.5 mm. Stipe diameter was 12.3 mm (higher than control), and yield was 145.5 g/1,100 cc (comparable to control).

외래침입종이 자생종에 미치는 잠재적인 영향에 관하여 세계적인 관심이 증가하고 있음에도 그러한 침입의 결과들은 여전히 부족한 실정이다. 유럽좁쌀바구미(cabbage seedpod weevil, CSPW, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus)는 1990년대 초에 한반도에 침입하였다. 침입 후 20여 년 동안 관찰과 2010년 이후 중점적인 조사를 통해 유채 꽃에서 침입종인 유럽좁쌀바구미가 가장 우점을 이루고 있으며, 제주도와 울릉도를 포함한 남한 전역으로 확산되어 있다. 그의 확산은 자생종인 유채좁쌀바구미(rapseed weevil, RSW, C. albosuturalis)의 냉이 등 십자화과 잡초로 서식처 후퇴가 맞물려 일어나고 있다. 한편, 한반도와 제주도 사이에 위치한 여서도는 현재 그들의 비율이 약 1:1로 나타나고 있어 이 섬에는 유럽좁쌀바구미가 최근에 유입된 것으로 보인다. 자생종의 생태적 지위(ecological niche)가 외래침입종으로 대체되는 근본적인 기작은 확실하게 알 수 없 지만, 자원경쟁(exploitative competition)의 잠재적인 역할을 배제할 수는 없을 것이다. 자연생태계 내에서 외래침입종이 자생종을 신속하게 대체하고 있음을 확인한 이 결과는 앞으로 또 다른 외래종의 침입 방지 노력을 요구하고 있다.

Despite rising global concerns over the potential impacts of invasive alien species on indigenous species, the consequences of such introductions are lacking. The cabbage seedpod weevil (CSPW, C. obstrictus) was introduced into Korea in the early of 1990s. There was no genetic differences of COI sequences between populations of invasive CSPW, while was 1.1 % between populations of native rapeseed weevil (RSW, C. albosuturalis). It is tentatively considered that CSPW spread from once invasive population to the whole country. A large-scale survey in Korea reveals that, in about 20 years post-arrival, the invasive CSPW has become the most abundant on rape flowers and spread almost parts of South Korea including Is. Jeju and Is. Ulleung. Its spread is concurrent with the geographic retraction of the native RSW. However, Is. Yeoseo located between the mainland and Is. Jeju, was showed their ratio with 1:1. It suggests that the population of CSPW recently entered this island. Although the decline’s underlying mechanisms remain unknown, the potential roles of exploitative competition cannot be ruled out. Given that invasive weevil can rapidly replace native congeners, further introductions of other insect pests should be discouraged.

Patent trends on foundation technique and application technologies of rapeseed by-products were analyzed for major producing countries including Korea, USA, Japan, China and Europe, to determine the usability and economical efficiency. To date, patents related to these by-products have been increasing steadily, since the first patent application in 1973. Patent applications in China are overwhelmingly active but those of Korea are steadily increasing. Japan and Europe unions have been slow in applying patents since the mid-2000s. The most number of application is the MB company in Canada, which is actively, doing research to develop technologies related to extraction and purification of useful substances from rapeseed. Most applicants were focusing on one or two of the major field technologies, depending on the company’s main products. Agricultural material section category accounted for more than half of the patent applications followed by technology for separation and purification of useful substances for cosmetics. In the early years of technology development, patent applications were mainly related to technologies on functional protein foods, agricultural materials and separation and purification of useful substances. In recent years, research had shifted on various fields such as cosmetics and medicines technology development is being attempted. In terms of section category, the USA has applied for the most number of patents in all fields except agricultural materials, where China is currently leading, Agricultural development efforts is well supported and encouraged by the Chinese government’s policies. In conclusion, it is suggested that technology development pertaining to separation and purification of useful substances from rapeseed by-products for cosmetics, functional protein foods, medicines and biotic pesticides to enhance value-added utilization of rapeseed by-products.

최근 건강기능성 식용유에 대한 선호도가 높아지면서 저온압착(cold-pressing) 유채유에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 저온압착 유채유는 정제유에 비해 기름 고유의 맛과 향을 느낄 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 산성백토를 이용한 저온압착 유채유의 탈색과정에서 산성백토의 첨가량, 처리시간 및 반응온도에 따른 탈색 후 이화학적 특성과 품질특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 이화학적 특성으로 색차 (명도, 적색도, 황색도)를 조사하였고, 품질특성은 chlorophyll-A 와 carotenoid 함량, 지방산 조성, 토코 페롤(α, β, γ, δ), 및 식물성 스테롤(β-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol)을 분석하였다.먼저 산성백토(DC-SUPER)의 첨가량(1, 2, 3%)에 따른 저온압착 유채유의 색도변화를 관찰한 결과, DC-SUPER 첨가량 2%에서 탈색 1시간 후 유채유의 색도가 갈색에서 연노랑으로 옅어졌다. 본 결과를 바탕으로 총 3종의 산성백토(DC-SUPER, DC-A3, 및 P1)에 대해 첨가량 2%를 기준으로 처리시간(20, 40, 60, 80분) 증가에 따른 색차를 조사한 결과, 처리시간 20분 경과 후부터 대조구 대비 명도(L)는 증 가하였고, 적색도(a)와 황색도(b)는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 산성백토 DC-SUPER 2% 첨가 후, 반응온도(40, 80, 120°C) 증가에 따른 색차를 조사한 결과, L값과 a값은 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으나, b 값은 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 특히, 반응온도 40°C에서 처리시간 20분 이내에 클로로필 A와 카 로티노이드는 대부분 제거되었고, 토코페롤 함량도 현저히 감소하였다. 탈색 전 저온압착 유채유의 총 토코페롤 함량은 46.62mg/100g이나, 탈색 후 총 토코페놀은 12.67mg/100g(20분 탈색), 15.31mg/100g(40분 탈색), 13.56mg/100g(60분 탈색)로 나타나, 약 50% 이상 감소하였다. 탈색 후 α-토코페롤 과 δ-토코페롤의 함량 감소가 매우 컸고, γ>β>α>δ-토코페롤의 순으로 포함되어 있었다. 하지만 탈 색 전·후에 저온압착 유채유의 식물성 스테롤 함량은 큰 변화가 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 산성백토 이용 저온압착 유채유 탈색시 색도를 향상시킴을 확인하였으며, 영양 학적으로 우수한 총 토코페롤 등이 감소한 바 향후 이를 보완 할 수 있는 연구가 필요하다.

Surface-active substances in defatted rapeseed cake were obtained using a supercritical fluid extraction method. Then, it was purified by removing sinapine in the extract through a series of steps using a mixed solvent: diethyl ether and ethyl acetate (1:1, v/v). Emulsifying properties of purified surface-active substances were investigated, including fat globule size, zeta potentials and creaming stability and its antioxidant activity in emulsion systems were also studied by peroxide value and 1H-NMR spectrum. It was found that fat globules in emulsions with purified surface-active substances were much smaller than ones with the unpurified. In addition, as pH of the emulsion lowered and with increasing NaCl concentration in the emulsion, they were observed to increase, which led to worse creaming stability. These properties were reflected in changes of zeta potentials of emulsions. The oxidative stability was better in emulsions with purified surface-active substances than ones with Tween 20 or commercial lecithin, possibly resulted from the existence of sinapic acid in the extract. It was concluded that purified surface-active substances from defatted rapeseed cake could be simultaneously used as emulsifier and antioxidant agent in emulsion system.

In this study, the process of sinapine removal from surface-active substances extracted from defatted rapeseed cake was established by using a mixed organic solvent system (diethylether:ethyl acetate = 1:1, v/v). The emulsifying properties of the purified surface-active substances were investigated. Thin layer chromatogram showed that sinapine was removed and purified surface-active substances were found to have better emulsifying properties compared to a non-purified one or commercial soy lecithin. As for interfacial tension data, purified surface-active substances showed values lower (10-1 wt%: 3.20±0.57 mN/m) than the non-purified ones (10-1 wt%: 14.16±0.27 mN/m). In addition, we found that fat globule size in emulsions with purified surface-active substances was much smaller than in emulsions with non-purified substances or commercial soy lecithin. These results could be attributable to the increased amount of phospholipids in purified substances following sinapine-removal.

본 연구는 지방산 조성이 우수하고 종실중도 무거운 유채 계통들을 선발하고자 국내에서 육성된 유채 4품종(탐미, 탐라, 한라, 목포CGMS)을 모본으로 이용하고, 대만 AVRDC에서 도입된 3 품종(Sarso, Sarson, Sarsyun)을 부본으로 사용하여 종간교잡을 실시하였다. 교배친, F1 및 F2 세대에서 100립중, 지방산 조성, 및 종피색을 분석하였다. F1 및 F2 세대에서 100립중을 조사한 결과, 교배 모본으로 탐미와 부본으로 Sarsyun이 사용된 경우 평균 100립중이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 지방산 조성 측면에서는 Oleic acid(C18 : 1) 함량이 높은 계통들은 모본의 지방산 조성과 유사한 경향을 보였고, Erucic acid(C22 : 1) 함량이 높은 계통들은 부본의 지방산 조성과 유사한 경향을 보였다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 향후에는 종자가 크고 지방산 조성이 양호한 계통선발이 가능하여 바이오디젤용 고수율·대립 유채 종자 개발이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 유채 꽃가루 분말의영양성분 분석과 파쇄한 꽃가루 분말을 이용하여 효모 배양용 액체배지와 고체배지를 제조하여 효모 배양효율을 분석하였다. 유채 꽃가루 분말(100 g)은 탄수화물 58.9 g, 단백질 20.8 g, 지방 4.1 g, 회분 2.5 g 및 수분 13.7 g으로 구성되었다. 당질 중에서는 Fructose(13.7 g), Glucose(11.1 g)와 Sucrose(6.6 g), 미네랄 중에서는 K(606.7 mg)와 P(603.3 mg) 함 향이 높았다. 유리 아미노산은 Glutamic acid(2,482.4 mg), Aspartic acid(2,136.5 mg), Lysine(1,648.3 mg), 및 Leucine(1,631.1 mg) 순으로 많았다. 유채 꽃가루분말을 단독 또는 NaCl을 첨가하여 액체배지 및 고체배지 제조하고 효모를 배양한 결 과, 꽃가루 분말이 15 g/L 이상 함유된 액체배지는 효모 배양 후 건물중이 YPD 배지(대조구)에 비해 많았고, 꽃가루 분말의 농도 의존적으로 효모 건물중이 증가하였다. 또한 액체배지에 NaCl을 1~20 g/L 추가 시 배양된 효모의 건물중이 한층 더 증가하였다. 유채 꽃가루로 제조한 고체배지를 이용하여 효모 를 배양(48시간)한 결과, 콜로니(colonies) YPD 배지와 유사하게 잘 자랐다.

본 연구는 유채 6 품종(‘선망’, ‘탐미’, ‘탐라’, ‘내한’, ‘영산’,‘한라’)에 대해 개화기 침수처리(무처리, 3, 6, 9, 12일)에 따른유채 품종별 개화기 습해반응을 평가하고자 수행하였다. 침수3일 처리구는 무처리구와 비교해 유채 6 품종의 생육에 차이가 없으나, 침수 4~9일 처리구에서는 꽃봉오리 정단부 꺾임현상이 심하게 나타났다. 특히 ‘내한’과 ‘영산’ 유채는 침수 9일처리구에서 꽃봉오리 정단부 꺾임현상이 나타나 침수처리에강한 반응을 보였다. 전반적으로 유채는 개화기에 토양 침수가 4일 이상 지속되면 꽃봉오리 정단부 꺾임, 안토시아닌 과다형성, 도복, 개화기 연장, 및 등숙 지연 등 생식생장기 생육에 큰 영향을 주었다. 또한 유채는 개화기에 침수 스트레스가6일 이상 지속되면 주당협수, 협당립수, 결실율, 및 천립중이현저하게 감소하였고, 각각의 수량구성요소 감소는 최종적으로 종실수량 감소로 이어졌다. 무처리구 대비 침수 6일 처리구에 대한 품종별 종실수량을 보면 ‘선망’(54%), ‘탐미’(35%),‘탐라’(33%), ‘내한’(78%), ‘영산’(70%), 및 ‘한라’(32%)로 나타났다. 하지만 침수처리에 따른 종자의 지방산 조성에는 큰변화가 없었다. 전반적으로 공시된 6 품종 중에서는 ‘영산’ 유채가 개화기 내습성이 강한 품종으로 나타났다.

본 실험에서는 탈지 유채박 중 표면활성물질의 추출을 위 해 초임계 CO2 유체 추출법을 이용하였다. 추출 독립변수는 추출압력(150~350 bar), 온도(33~65℃), 보조용매량(ethanol, 150~250 g)으로 하였으며, D-optimal design에 의한 반응표면 분석을 통해 추출수율, 중성지질 분획, 인지질 분획, 당지질 분획 함량 등의 종속변수에 대한 최적 추출조건을 검토하였 다. 그 결과, 압력, 온도, 그리고 보조용매량이 증가함에 따라 종속변수 즉, 추출수율, 인지질, 당지질 함량 등은 증가하였 으나, 중성지질 함량은 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 그중 보 조용매량이 각 종속변수에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타 났다. 본 연구를 통해서 유도된 회귀식 모형은 실험을 통해 얻은 결과와 잘 일치하였으며, 초임계 CO2 유체 추출에 있어 서 종속변수인 추출수율, 인지질, 당지질 함량 등을 최대로 하면서 중성지질 함량을 최소로 하는 최적화된 추출조건은 추출압력 350 bar, 추출온도 65℃, 보조용매량 228.55 g으로 분석되었으며, 이 조건에서 추출수율은 5.98%, 추출물은 중 성지질 3.0%, 인지질 69.43%, 당지질 17.46% 등의 조성을 나 타낼 것으로 예측되었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the emulsifying properties of surface-active substances from defatted rapeseed cake by supercritical CO₂extraction. Based on the interfacial tension data, a supercritical fluid extract (SFE) with the lowest value of 14.16 mN/m was chosen for evaluation which was obtained from No. 2 extraction condition (150 bar, 65℃, 250 g). For emulsions with SFE, some physicochemical properties (i.e., fat globule size, creaming stability, zeta potential etc) were investigated according to changes in SFE concentration, pH, and NaCl addition in an emulsion. It was found that fat globule size was decreased with increasing SFE concentration in emulsion, with showing a critical value at 0.5 wt%, thereby resulting in less susceptibility to creaming behavior. The SFE emulsion also showed instability at acidic conditions (pH<7.0) as well as by NaCl addition. This was coincided with zeta potential data of emulsion. In addition, SSL (sodium stearoyl lactylate) found to be suitable as a co-surfactant, as it helped considerably in decreasing fat globule size in emulsions and its optimum concentration to be over 0.03 wt%, based on 0.1 wt% SFE in emulsion.
