Abstract
Fresh bamboo (Phyllostachys bambuoides sieb. et zucc.) was charred at the mechanical steel kiln and traditional earth kiln with subsequent condensation of its smoke to 10$0^{\circ}C$. It was settled down for 12 months to remove tar components and then the middle layer of the liquid was collected as a bamboo smoke distillates to analyze its chemical composition and physicochemical characteristics for use as food additives or processing aids. The gravity, transmittance, reflectivity, and viscosity were 1.008, 89.05%, 1.36%, and 12.48 cp in the bamboo smoke distillates processed by mechanical steel kiln (MBSD) and 1.012, 98.33%, 1.34% and 9.05 cp in the bamboo smoke distillates by traditional earth kiln (TBSD), respectively. The color of TSBD was brighter than that of MBSD. The pH and titratable acidity, tar and remains were 3.55 and 2.830%, 2.803% and 0.671%, respectively, in the MBSD and 2.93 and 3.470%, 0.051% and 0.004%, respectively, in the TBSD. The major phenolic compounds of bamboo smoke distillates (BSD) were phenol, Ο-cresol, p-cresol, and guaiacol and the major organic acids were acetic acid, propionic acid, iso-butyric acid, and n-butyric acid, and major alcohols were methanol, furfuryl alcohol, and maltol. The contents of phenolic compound and alcohol were more in MBSD than in TBSD whereas the content of organic acid was more in TBSD than in MBSD. Therefore, toxic compounds for the human body, such as methanol from BSD should be removed for use as a food ingredient in the future.
벌채 직후의 신선한 왕대(Phyllostachys bambuoides sieb. et zucc.)를 기계식 탄화로와 재래식 토요를 이용하여 탄화시키고 여기에서 발생하는 기체를 10$0^{\circ}C$ 전후에서 냉각시켜 얻은 각각의 조죽초액을 12개월간 정치하여 타르성분을 분리한 다음 중간부위를 취하여 죽초액의 일반특성과 성분조성을 조사하였다. 기계식 죽초액은 비중, 투과도, 굴절을 및 점도가 각각 1.008, 89.05%, 1.357%, 12.48 cp이었고 재래식 죽초액의 경우는 1.012, 98.33%, 1.34%, 9.09 cp이었다. 색깔은 재래식 죽초액이 기계식 죽초액에 비하여 더 맑고 투명하게 나타났다. 그리고 pH와 총유기산, 용해타르 및 작열잔사의 함량은 기계식 죽초액이 각각 3.55, 2.83%, 2.803%, 0.671%이었고 재래식 죽초액이 각각 2.93, 3.47%, 0.051%, 0.004%이었다. 죽초액의 성분조성에 대한 조사에서 두 가지 경우의 죽초액이 모두 페놀성 성분은 주로 phenol, o-cresol, p(m)-cresol, guaiacol(2-methoxy phenol) 등이 검출되었고 유기산 성분은 주로 acetic acid, propionic acid, iso-butyric acid, n-butyric acid등이 검출되었으며 알코올성분으로 methanol, furfuryl alcohol 및 maltol이 검출되었다. 페놀류와 알코올류의 함량은 기계식 죽초액의 편이 더 많고 유기산은 재래식 죽초액이 더 많이 함유되어 있었다.
