본 연구의 목적은 달걀의 섭취가 랫드의 간에서 합성, 분비되는 간 지방산의 산화, 에스터화 사이의 대사적 분할 메커니즘을 구명하는 것이었다. 동물은 4개의 그룹으로 나누어 30일 동안 난황을 경구투여 하였다: 대조군 (CON, control, 생리식염수 1.0 g), T1 (삼겹살 기름 1.0 g), T2 (난황 1.0 g), T3 (삼겹살 기름 1.0 g, 난황 1.0 g을 각각 1주일씩 교체 투여군). 간에서 [14C]-labelled lipid의 축적율은 모든 처리구 가운데 T2가 유의하게 낮았다 (P<0.05). 인지질 분비량은 T2가 기타 처리구에 비해서 유의하게 높았다 (P<0.05). 중성지방 분비량은 T1이 가장 높았으며 CON, T3, T2 순서로 유의하게 높았다 (P<0.05). 총 glycerolipid로부터 인지질의 대사적 분할율은 T2가 가장 높았고 T3, CON, T1 순서로 높았다 (P<0.05). 총 glycerolipid로부터 14CO2 방출은 T2에서 가장 높았으며 CON, T1, T3과 비교할 때 높은 산화율을 보여 주었다 (P<0.05). 간으로부터 glycerolipid의 대사적 분할은 중성지방의 경우 T2가 CON, T1, T3와 비교할 때 감소하였으나 인지질은 T2에서 증가했다 (P<0.05).

This study was conducted to investgate the effect of gamma irradiation on the lipid oxidation, olfactory properties, fatty acid isomer and volatile compound profiles of five different oil sources. Three plant oils, canola oil, corn oil and soy oil, and two animal fat, tallow and fish oil, were irradiated with 0, 5, 10, and 20 kGy level of dose by Co-60 as a radiation source. Lipid oxidation parameters, FFA, POV and TBARS, were determined according to the AACC and AOCS method. Olfactory property of irradiated oil sources was analyzed using electronic nose (FOX3000, AlphaMOS Co., France) with 12 metal oxide sensors and the result was interpreted using principle component analysis program. Fatty acid isomer profiles and volatile compound profiles of irradiated oils were also measured by GC and GC-MS, respectively. Although the free fatty acid level of oil were the highest by high dose level (20 kGy) of irradiation, changes of both TBARS and POV values by gamma irradiation were varied between oil sources and irradiation level of dose. Electronic nose analysis showed a distinct difference among dose levels of irradiation. Although there was no new volatile compound produced by gamma irradiation, amounts of each volatile compounds were increased by irradiation. Only cis isomer, 9c12c15c of linolenic acid was dose-dependently decreased as irradiation level increased but there was no difference among other isomer profiles of linoleic acid and linolenic acid by gamma irradiation. This study showed that changes in physico-chemical properties of both plant and animal oil were remarkable by gamma irradiation. Therefore, a further study should be needed to scrutinize the interaction among lipid oxidation, production of volatile compounds and off-flavor, and isomerization of fatty acid by gamma-irradiation.
