Analytical Studies on the Composition of Oil and Protein in the Seed of Thornless Chinese Pepper Zanthoxylum schinifoilum var. inermis Nakai

민산초나무 종실(種實)의 유지(油脂) 및 단백질조성(蛋白質組成)에 관한 연구(硏究)

In order to analyze the composition of fatty acid in the seed oil. and amino acid in the seed protein of wild thornless chinese pepper tree; Zanthoxylum schinifolum var. inermis Nakai. GLC method and amino acid autoanalyzer were applied. respectively. while the general composition of the seed and physico-chemical properties of the seed oil were also determined by A. O. A. C. method. The results obtained were summarized as follow The content of oil, protein and ashes were 47.05%, 20.14% and 3.1%, respectively. The content of sulfur and cyan compound in the seed were 0.02% and 0.00005%, respectively, which were far below than allowed guantity by food regulation. Therefore, it is considered to be safe for edible purpose. The iodine absorption number obtained was 145.2, which might be belonged to drying oil. The physico-chemical properties of the seed oil such as acid value, saponification number and refractive index showed the characteristics of an unsaturated high molecular fatty acid compound. The seed oil was composed of 34.8% of oleic acid, 25.1% of linoleic acid and 26.1% of linolenic acid, which accounts for more than 80% of essential fatty acid. Therefore, it could be used as an edible oil. Seventeen kinds of amino acids were anayzed from seed protein. Among them comparatively high content of threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine and phenylalanine were observed. As a non-essential amino acid, glutamic acid was found as high as 4.985%. From these results the seed of thornless Chinese pepper would be good for oil and protein source.

야생식용유자원(野生食用油資源)의 개발(開發)을 위하여 민산초나무 종실(種實)의 일반성분(一般成分)과 종실유(種實油)의 이화학적(理化學的) 성상(性狀)을 A. O.AC. 법(法)으로, 종실유(種實油)의 지방산(脂肪酸) 조성(組成) 및 종실단백질(種實蛋白質)의 amino 산조성(酸組成)을 GLC법(法) 및 amino acid auto analyzer 로 각각 분석(分析) 측정(測定)한 결과(結果)를 다음과 같이 적요(摘要)한다 민산초나무의 종실(種實)은 비교적 다량(多量)의 유지(油脂)(47.05%), 단백질(蛋白質)(20.14%) 및 회분(灰分)(3.1%)을 함유(含有)하고 있는 영양가(榮養價)가 높은 반식물(飯食物) 또는 식용유(食用油)로 인정(認定)되었다. 민산초나무 종실(種實)에는 극미량(極微量)의 유황(硫黃)(0.02%)과 cyan 화합물(化合物)(0.00005%)이 함유(含有)되였으나 모두 한계량이하(限界量以下)로서 식용유(食用油) 및 생과(生菓)로서 이용이 안전(安全)하다. 종실유(種實油)는 옥도가(沃度價) 145.2로서 건성유(乾性油)에 속(屬)하며 산가(酸價), 감화가, 굴절율(屈折率)등 이화학적(理化學的) 성질(性質)도 불포화고급(不飽和高級) 지방산조성(脂肪酸組成)에서 특성(特性)을 나타냈다. 종실유(種實油)의 지방산(脂肪酸) 조성(組成)은 oleic acid(34.8%), linoleic acid(25.1%), linolenie acid(26.1%)등 필수지방산(必須脂肪酸)의 함량(含量)이 80%이상으로서 식용유(食用油)에 적합(適合)한 것으로 인정(認定)되였다. 종실단백질(種實蛋白質)에서 17종(種)의 amino산(酸)을 분석정량(分析定量)하였으며, lysine, threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine등 필수(必須) amino산(酸)의 함량(含量)이 비교적 높았고, glutamic acid의 함량(含量)(4.985%)이 특히 높아서 단백질원(蛋白質源)으로서 유용(有用)하다고 인정(認定)되었다.
