Abstract

As an approach to study a new natural antioxidant for edible fats and oils, antioxidative fractions from acorn powder were characterized. The oxidative stabilities of soybean, palm, beef tallow, and lard oil containing the acorn active fraction extracted with various organic solvents were studied by determining the peroxide value during the storage at $60^{\circ}C.$ And this effective antioxidative components were isolated and identified by thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. The proximate compositions of acorn powder were water 11.9~12.0%, protein 7.1~7.4%, starch 65.5~69.4%, fat 2.1~2.6%, fiber 2.1~3.6%, ash 2.4~2.6%, and total tannin 4.6~6.8%, respectively. The final yield of fraction extracted by sequential order of acetone : $H_2O$(1 : 1) and ethylacetate was 2.8~3.1%. Gallic acid, digallic acid and gallotannin were contained this final fraction. The main antioxidative activity was speculated due to the presence of gallic acid in acorn powder extract. The antioxidative activity was more effective in fat water emulsion than just fat system. Antioxidative activities measured by peroxide value were quite high in beef tallow and soybean emulsion, but low in lard and palm oil emulsion in the concentration of 200ppm acorn extract. Therefore, the addition of 200ppm acorn extract was suggested to expect effective antioxidation concentration in the reaction system.

도토리의 천연 항산화제로서의 이용성을 검토하기 위하여 도토리 분말로부터 수종의 유기용매를 가하여 항산화성 획분을 추출 분리한 후 대두유, 팜유, 돈지 및 우지에 첨가하고 $60^{\circ}C$에서 저장하면서 POV의 변화를 측정하였으며, 항산화 성분을 TLC 및 HPLC로 분리 동정하였다. 도토리의 일반성분은 수분 11.8~12.0%, 단백질 7.1~7.4%, 전분 65.5~69.4%, 조지방 2.1~2.6%, 조섬유 2.1~3.6% 및 조회분 2.4~2.6%이었으며 total tannin 함량은 4.6~6.8%이었다. 도토리류 분말로부터 acetone : water 및 ethyl acetate를 차례로 사용하여 항산화성 획분을 추출하여 얻어진 추출물의 수율은 2.8~3.1%이었다. 최종단계의 도토리 추출물 중에는 gallic acid, digallic acid 및 gallotannin이 함유되어 있었다. 도토리 추출물의 항산화성분은 주로 gallic acid이었다. 도토리 추출물은 유탁액상태의 기질에서는 강한 항산화력을 나타내었고, 유지에 직접 첨가하였을 때는 항산화력이 인정되지 않았다. 우지 및 대두유탁액에 대산 도토리 추출물의 항산화 효과는 강하였으나 돈지 및 팜유유탁액에 대해서는 약하였다. 도토리 추출물은 0.02%의 농도에서 실용적인 항산화 효과가 인정되었다.
