Abstract

We investigated the changes in saponins during the cultivation of soybean sprout. Crude saponin content was 4.15mg/g in germinated soybean and reached its peark (5.33mg/g) in soybean sprout cultivated for six days. Saponin content in the cotyledon, stem, and root of the soybean sprout cultivated for six days were 4.17, 7.46, and 7.45mg/g, respectively. Soyasaponins extracted from the soybean sprout were analyzed with LC-electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometry, in which a reverse phase $C_18$ column was used for separation of saponins. In the soybeen sprout, group B saponin, I, II, III, IV, and V increased 7, 2, 1.4, 8.7, and 3.3 fold, respectively, compared to those in the soybean seed. Group B saponin I, II, III, IV, and V in the stem of the soybean sprout were 10.53, 1.45, 10.49, 5.72 and 8.14 fold the level of those in the cotyldon, respectively. In the root, the contents of group B saponin I, III, IV, and V were 5.54, 2.77, 4.86 and 9.73 fold, respectively, higher than those in cotyledon, but the content of group B saponin 2 was 2.96 fold less than that in cotyledon. These results indicate that the biosyntheses of group B saponins are differentially regulated in growing soybean sprout.

은하콩의 조 사포닌은 4.59mg/g이었으며, 콩나물로 발아 생장하면서 사포닌 함량이 증가하여 재배 $5{\sim}6$일째에 $5.30{\sim}5.33mg/g$으로 가장 높은 함량을 보였으며, 6일째 이후에는 사포닌 함량이 감소하였다. 6일 동안 재배하여 자엽, 줄기 및 뿌리의 조 사포닌 함량은 자엽 4.17mg/g에 비해 줄기 7.46mg/g과 뿌리 7.45mg/g으로 거의 2배정도 높은 함량을 보였으며, 뿌리와 줄기는 비슷한 수준이었다. TLC를 이용한 부위별 사포닌 밴드 패턴으로부터 14종이 확인되었다. 줄기와 뿌리 부위는 콩에서 발견되는 여러 가지 사포닌이 함유되어 있으며, 줄기와 뿌리 부위는 Rf 0.5이하에서 비슷한 패턴으로 뚜렷한 밴드를 나타냈다. 콩의 soyasaponin group B 사포닌함량과 조성은 5일 동안 콩나물로 생장하면서 IV는 8.7배, I는 7배, V는 3.3배, II는 2배 그리고 III는 1.4배로 각각 증가하였으며, 특히 IV와 I이 많이 증가하였다. 콩나물 부위별 사포닌 함량은 자엽 부분에서 비교적 적은 양이 고루 함유하였다. 줄기는 자엽에 비해 I은 10.53배, III는 10.49배, V는 8.14배, IV는 5.72배 그리고 II는 1.45배로 더 많았다. 뿌리는 자엽에 비해 V는 9.37배, I는 5.54배 IV는 4.86배 그리고 III는 2.77배 많았지만, II는 자엽보다 2.96배 더 적었다. 콩나물의 줄기와 뿌리가 자라면서 주로 soyasaponin I, IV 및 V가 증가하였다. 이와 같이 콩나물의 사포닌은 성장함에 따라 또는 부위에 따라서 각각 다르게 생합성이 조절되는 것으로 생각된다.
