The objectives of this study were to characterize the physicochemical properties of ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) and the optimum extract processing condition to increase the solubilization efficiency of 6-gingerol and polysaccharides disintegration. The physicochemical properties were investigated under high-pressure enzyme (HP) and enzyme (WB) treatment conditions such as reaction time (1, 2, 3 h), pressure (50, 70, 100 MPa) and sample types, and cell wall degradation enzyme (hemicellulase, cellulase, pectinase, glucosidase, etc.) The effect of high-pressure enzyme treatment depending on sample types was significantly highest in the freeze-dried ginger powder. The optimum condition for high-pressure enzyme treatment was with Pectinex Ultra SP-L (Pec) enzymes for 2 h at 50oC and 100 MPa. Water soluble indexes increased 4.6 and 3.8 times more compared to CON (15.35%) while total polyphenol contents increased by 1.8 and 1.7 times compared to CON (1.43%). The total contents of indicator components such as 6, 8, 10-gingerol and shogaol was 1.53%, increasing 2.7 times more compared to CON (0.57%) with a significant difference (p<0.001). The high-pressure and enzymatic approach described in this study would be beneficial to food industries for developing ginger functional product and materials.

In this study the physicochemical properties and antioxidant capacities of ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc) Jungkwa with different kinds of sweeteners were determined. Jungkwa made with different sugars (sugar, xylitol, honey or oligosaccharides) were compared in aspect of physiochemical properties, antioxidant activities, total phenolic contents and sensory evaluation. Moisture contents Jungkwa treated different kinds of oligosaccarides showed highest value, in the order of honey, xylitol and sugar. L* value of Jungkwa treated with xylitol was the highest, a* value of Jungkwa treated with honey, sugar Jungkwa were higher then others. Free sugar contents of Jungkwa treated with sugar showed the highest value in sucrose, glucose and galactose. Jungkwa with xylitol showed lowest value in all free sugar contents. Hardness and chewiness of Jungkwa treated with xylitol showed the highest value. The antioxidant activity measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity and total penolic content were the highest in Jungkwa treated with honey, followed by Jungkwa treated with xylitol, oligosaccharides and sugar. Appearance and color of oligosaccarides and honey treated Jungkwa were preferred. In ginger taste, sweetness, chewiness were highest in sugar treated Jungkwa (not significant difference in treatments). As a result, honey treated Jungkwa has higher antioxidant activity and quality than other sugar treatments.

비닐하우스에서 생강재배시 종강의 크기와 재식거리가 생강의 생육 및 수량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 비닐하우스 내의 기온은 노지에 비하여 평균 9℃ 높았으며, 지온은 평균 2-4℃ 높았다. 하우스 재배는 노지재배에 비하여 초장, 엽면적, 경수, 괴경 수량이 크게 증가하였다. 하우스에서의 재식거리 30×30cm에서 근경수량은 노지보다 121-183%의 증수 효과가 있었다. 60×30cm의 재식거리구에서는 재식거리 30×30cm구에 비하여 감소하였으나 노지재배에 비하여 76-82%증수되었다. 단위면적당 근경수량은 재식 밀도가 30×30cm이고, 종구의 크기가 40g 일 때(4,631kg/10a)가장 많았다.

본 실험은 고품질 다수성 생강 품종육성에 필요한 기초 자료를 얻기위해 국내에서 수집한 우량생강 24클론을 포장과 하우스에서 재배하여 주요 작물학적 특성을 조사한 결과 다음과 같다. 조사된 클론중에서 수량과 6-gingerol 함량에서 높은 유의차가 인정되었다. 포장에서는 CG9579(3520kg/10a)의 수량이 가장 높았고, 그 다음으로 CG95134, CG9512, CG96109, CG9596 순이었다. 우량 클론으로 선발된 클론중 6-gingerol 함량을 조사한 결과 CG9579가 4.44mg/g로 가장 높았으며, 그 다음으로는 CG9583이 4.35mg/g, CG95134가 4.32mg/g순이었다. 하우스에서 는 수량이 CG9503과 CG9521 클론이 10a당 5529kg으로 가장 높았고, CG9515, CG9578, CG9579, CG96103 그리고 CG95105 클론이 10a당 4,000kg이상의 수량을 보았다.
