본 연구에서는 초임계 이산화탄소를 사용해 도라지(balloonflower, Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC) 종자로부터 추출한 유지의 기능성과 에멀전 특성에 대해 조사하였다. 종자에 비해 도라지 종자유는 총 polyphenol(8 mg/100 g)의 함량이 낮았으나 α-tocopherol(14.15 mg/ 100 g), β -sitosterol(116 mg/100 g) 및 stigmasterol(8 mg/100 g)의 함량은 높았다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능으로 분석한 종자유(IC50=1235.5 μg/mL)의 항산화능은 종자(IC50=1138.2 μg/mL)와 유사하였다. 1%(w/w) lecithin 농도에서 도라지 종자유를 사용해 제조한 에멀젼은 탁도, 지방구 입자 크기 및 형상, 유화안정 성에서 콩기름을 사용한 에멀젼과 유사하였으나 들기름 사용 에멀젼보다는 탁도 및 유화안정성이 낮았고 지방구 입자는 크게 나타났다. 도라지 종자유 에멀젼의 표면장력은 들기름 에멀젼과 유사하였다.

본 연구는 OSA 전분을 열처리 한 후, 이를 이용하여 제조한 OSA 전분 에멀션의 이화학적 특성 및 계면 흡착 구조 등을 조사하였다. 에멀션 중 지방구의 크기는 OSA 전분 농도의 증가와 더불어 지속적으로 감소하여 0.2 wt% 농도에서 최소값(0.31±0.01 μm)을 나타내었고, 그 이상의 농도에서는 변화가 없었다. 에멀션의 크리밍 안정도는 OSA 전분 농도가 높을수록 증가하였으며, 0.75 wt% 이상의 첨가 농도에서 크리밍 발생에 대하여 매우 안정하였다. 에멀션 중 OSA 전분의 계면 흡착량은 0.2 wt% 첨가 농도 이상에서 농도의 증가와 더불어 증가하였으며(0.2 wt% : 1.03 mg/m2→1.25 wt% : 5.08 mg/m2), 이는 계면에서 OSA 전분이 다층 구조를 이루는 것에 기인된 것으로 추정하였다. OSA 전분 에멀션의 pH를 조절하였을 때 산성 지역에서 지방구의 응집에 의해 크기가 증가하였으며, 이는 상대적으로 낮은 제타 전위에 기인된 것으로 사료되었다. 터비스캔에 의한 분산 안정도 또한 pH에 영향을 받아 산성 지역에서 낮았으며, pH 7 이상에서는 높은 분산 안정도 특성을 보였다. 공초점현미경을 이용하여 열처리된 OSA 전분이 흡착된 지방구 표면을 관찰한 결과, OSA 전분은 입자 형태가 아닌 두꺼운 계면막을 형성하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 에멀션 형성 전에 OSA 전분을 열처리할 경우, 전분의 호화과 정에서 용출된 아밀로오스와 아밀로펙틴이 지방구 표면에 막의 형태로 흡착되므로, OSA 전분 에멀션에 있어서 중요한 유화 안정화 기작은 ‘입체장애 안정화(steric stabilization)’인 것으로 사료되었다.

Native soy protein is known to possess poor interfacial activity compared to flexible proteins. Acidification could alter its structure in a way that improves its interfacial activity. This study aimed to investigate the effects of seven acids, including hydrochloric, acetic, ascorbic, lactic, malic, citric, and tartaric acid on the oil-water interfacial properties and oil-in-water emulsifying properties of soy protein isolate (SPI) at pH 3.0. The aqueous solutions of 1.5 %(w/v) SPI were adjusted to pH 3.0 with different acids, and the solution without acidification (pH 8.0) was used as a control. The zeta potential of acidified SPI solutions and SPI emulsions were positive value while it was negative value for control. The particle sizes of acidified SPI solutions were between 19-83 m (107 m for the control). The particle size of acidified SPI emulsions were 0.4 m for control, acetic, ascorbic, lactic, and malic, 1.2 m for citric and tartaric, while 20.7 m for HCl. The interfacial pressure between soybean oil and the acidified SPI solutions were between 12.7-15.4 mN/m, while SPI-control was significantly higher than that at 19.4 mN/m. The acidified SPI solution had the meaningful values of interfacial shear rheological parameters and showed viscoelastic layer, but the control was almost no viscoelastic layer. All acidified SPI emulsion showed much higher emulsifying activity index (130-158 m2/g) than the control (111 m2/g). The appearance of emulsion looked no difference over the time when observed by eyes. The evaluation of emulsion stability by the changing of particle size distribution within 40 days showed that the control and HCl was no change, while the others tended to increase particle size.

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.

This study aimed to investigate the emulsifying properties of bovine lactoferrin in food emulsion system. First, lactoferrin solution was prepared to study its surface activities, such as surface adsorption characteristics and ζ-potential. Second, some physicochemical properties of lactoferrin emulsion which resulted from variations of environmental conditions (i.e., pH or NaCl addition) were determined. As for surface adsorption characteristics evaluated by surface tension, it was decreased with increasing lactoferrin concentration in solution (1×10⁻⁵→0.2 wt%) and showed a plateau (≒44 mN/m) above 0.01 wt%. It was also changed with pH and the minimum value of 53.8 mM/m was observed at pI of lactoferrin. This was related to changes in ζ-potential of the lactoferrin solution with respect to pH. Fat globule size of lactoferrin emulsion was decreased with increasing lactoferrin concentration and a stable emulsion was formed above 0.5 wt% lactoferrin in emulsion with fat globule size d₃₂ of ca. 0.33 μm as confirmed by creaming stability experiment (i.e., Turbiscan). As with surface tension, fat globule size of lactoferrin emulsion also changed with pH and showed a maximum value at pI. As evaluated by Turbiscan, in the presence of NaCl, the lactoferrin emulsion showed instability in particular above 10 mM.

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.

본 실험에서는 초임계 추출법을 이용하여 탈지미강으로부터 얻은 주요한 표면활성 물질 분획(3 fractions: 1-HS, 6-HS 및 18-HS)의 유화성질을 평가하였다. 유화성질의 평가는 표면활성분획을 이용하여 유화액을 제조한 후 이들의 여러 가지 물리화학적 성질(지방구 크기 및 변화, 크리밍 안정도, oil-off, 분산안정성 등)을 조사하였다. 그 결과 각 추출 분획을 이용하여 제조한 유화액은 서로 다른 물리화학적 특성을 나타내었는데, 그중 가장 작은 지방구 크기 특성을 나타낸 1-HS 유화액이 크리밍안정도, oil-off 및 분산안정성 측면에서 우수한 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 1-HS 추출물의 유화 기능성을 보강하기 위한 co-surfactant 검토 결과, GMS(glyceryl monostearate)를 추가적으로 첨가할 경우 1-HS 유화액의 지방구 크기가 현저하게 작아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 적절한 첨가 농도는 0.05% 이상으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로 본 연구를 통하여 미강 추출물의 우수한 표면활성능을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이 천연의 표면활성물질은 초임계추출법을 이용하면 성공적으로 분리할 수 있는데, 향후 식품유화산업에서 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구와 관련하여 다음의 실험 목표는 이 물질의 구성 성분분석 및 상업화 연구이다.

Background : The Food industry is trying to replace many synthetic with surfactants with natural alternatives, mainly inspired by consumer’s demand. Saponins are water-soluble small amphiphilie molecules that can be isolated from various natural sources. Especially, concentrated red ginseng extract (CRGE) contains saponins (called as ginsenoside) and they have been shown medical activities to help alleviate pathological symptoms, promote health and prevent potential diseases. In this study, we confirmed the effectiveness of this natural emulsifier for forming and properties of emulsions containing those. Methods and Results : CRGE was supplied D company, located in Geumsan. We examined the interfacial tension, emulsifying activity, fat globule size, dispersion stability, zeta-potential, microscopic observation. The interfacial tension decreased gradually with increasing CRGE concentration. In emulsion systems, as the concentration increases, fat globules sizes also becomes smaller as well as result of dispersion stability evaluated by separation analyzer (i.e., LUMiFuge) showed that it was more stable in emulsions with increasing CRGE concentration. CRGE-coated droplets were stable to droplet coalescence over a range of pH value (2 - 9), salt concentrations (0 - 500 mM NaCl). However, some flocculation was observed under highly acidic (pH 3) and high ionic strength (≧ 400 mM NaCl) conditions, which might be attributed to screening of electrostatic repulsion. Especially, CRGE-coated droplets had high negative charged at basic pH that decreased in magnitude with falling pH. Conclusion : Thus, CRGE have some emulsifying properties as well as medical activities. The results means that emulsions formed with CRGE may be able to replace synthetic surfactants in food industry.
