채소류의 식이섬유 함량 및 물리적특성

The contents of dietary fiber and its physical properties of vegetables were determined. The samples selected in this study were soybean sprouts (Glycine max MERILL sprouts) butterber (Petasites japonicus MIQ), taro stem(Colcasia antiquorum SCHOTT stem), bracken (Pteridium aquilinum KUHN)and dried Korean cabbage leaves(Brassica compestris L.leaves). The contents of dietary fiber were 20.96~50.62% of neutral detergent figer, 10.60-38.19% of acid detergent fiber, 1.74-10.88% of lignin, 5.79~33.29% of hemicellulose and 5.79-33.29% of cellulose. Butterber had the highest dietary fiber content. Mean waterholding capacity of samples was 5.65-12.26g.water/g.acetone dried powder and butterber and dried Korean cabbage leaves had higher water holding capacity value than the others. Densities were 140-250mg/ml of direct density and 385-417 mg/ml of bulk density.
