땅콩을 발아시켜 새싹으로 키우게 되면 땅콩에 함유되어 있는 resveratrol과 asparagine 성분이 크게 증가된다는 보고가 있다. 이러한 사실을 바탕으로 땅콩새싹 추출물을 이용한 숙취해소음료를 개발하였 다. 본 연구에서는 땅콩새싹 추출물을 이용한 숙취해소 음료가 항산화 및 알코올분해효소 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서, 총 페놀 함량과 DPPH radical 소거활성 및 ADH와 ALDH 효소활성을 in vitro 및 in vivo 실험을 통하여 확인하였다. in vitro 실험결과 총 페놀 함량과 DPPH radical 소거활성에 있 어서는 두 가지 모두 땅콩새싹 숙취해소음료가 제품A보다는 약 6배, 제품B보다는 약 2배 정도로 높은 활성을 보였으며, ADH와 ALDH 효소활성은 제품A 보다 각각 약 40배와 약 7배 정도로 높게 나타났으 며, 제품B 보다는 약 20배와 약 2배 정도로 높게 나타났다. in vivo 실험을 통한 혈중 알코올농도는 시 간이 경과함에 따라 빠르게 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 아세트알데히드는 시간이 경과함에 따라 대조군에 비하여 빠르게 분해되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 땅콩새싹을 이용한 숙취해소 음료는 시중에 판 매되고 있는 숙취해소음료와 비교해 볼 때 항산화 및 알코올분해효소 활성에 효과적이라 판단된다.

To develop and industrialize functional foods containing peanut sprout extract (PSE) and powder (PSP), the present study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant effects of breads prepared with 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10% PSE and PSP. The expansion ratio of the dough, the quality characteristics such as volume, weight, specific volume, baking loss, color, texture, and sensory preference were evaluated. There were significant differences in the bread volume and specific volume among the control, PSE and PSP groups (p<0.001). Additionally, the weight and baking loss were decreased with an increasing amount of PSP (p<0.001). As the amount of PSE and PSP were increased, the L value of the crumb decreased, whereas the a and b values of the crumb significantly increased (p<0.001), suggesting that the crumb color of the bread may be significancy (p<0.001). As the amount of PSE and PSP increased, the hardness of bread significantly and rapidly increased from 5%. Meanwhile, there was no significance in springiness among the control, PSE and PSP groups. The total resveratrol content and DPPH free radical-scavenging activity of the bread significantly increased depending on the amounts of PSE and PSP (p<0.001). In the overall acceptance test, no significant differences were observed in the color, flavour, or texture, however, the taste and overall acceptance were significantly decreased between the control and the PSE group. All the sensory characteristics in the PSP group were significantly reduced compared with the control. Considering the above results, it can be expected that the suitable amount of PSE and PSP substituted for wheat flour will be from 1.0 to 2.5%. Furthermore, follow-up studies are being carried out continuously.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of wet noodles as well as their cooking properties following the addition of peanut sprout extract (PSE) and powder (PSP), which are known to contain a significant level of resveratrol. Wet noodles were prepared with 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% PSE and PSP. Quality characteristics such as increasing volume of noodle, water ratio, turbidity of cooking water and color, texture, and sensory evaluation were then assessed. Additionally, the total resveratrol content in the cooked noodles was analyzed by HPLC and DPPH free radical scavenging capacity. As the amount of PSE and PSP increased, the L value of wet and cooked noodles significantly decreased, whereas the a and b values increased (p<0.001). The L value of cooked noodles was significantly lower compared to wet noodles (p<0.001) whereas the a and b values were higher. For the cutting intensity properties of the cooked noodles, hardness was reduced with increasing amounts of PSE (p<0.001), and was significantly increased in proportion to the amount of PSP (p<0.05). Meanwhile, springiness was not significantly different in all groups. Total resveratrol content and free radical scavenging activity significantly increased in proportion to the amounts of PSE and PSP (p<0.001), especially in noodles containing 5%, 7.5% and 10% PSE and PSP. Finally, sensory evaluation of PSE noodle revealed that color, flavour, taste were significantly decreased (p<0.05). But there was no difference in overall acceptance among cooked noodles with 2.5% to 5% PSE comparison to the control. Sensory characteristics in the PSP noodle showed similar results. In conclusion, these findings suggest that peanut sprout extract and powder could be potentially used as functional food ingredients. In addition, up to 5% PSE and PSP can be substituted for wheat flour.
