Abstract

Three Korean soybean varieties, Dawon, Taekwang, and Myeongiju-namul were investigated for changes in isoflavone and oligosaccharides contents, and dry weight during germination. Soybeans were soaked for 10 hr in water, followed by 8 days germination at $20^{\circ}C$ under dark condition, Highest isoflavone content measured was Myeongju-namul (1.228 mg/g), followed by Taekwang (0.671 mg/g) and Dawon (0.661 mg/g). Total isoflavone content generally increased during initial germination and decreased thereafter. Maximal increase in isoflavone was 20-50%, particularly in aglycone type such as daidzein and genistein. Raffinose and stachyose contents decreased rapidly during germination, while that of sucrose showed relatively slow decrease. Dry weights of soybeans steadly decreased.

세 가지 품종의 한국산 콩을 발아시키면서 isoflavone과 올리고당, 건물량의 변화를 조사하였다. 실험에 사용된 콩은 명주 나물콩, 태광콩, 다원콩이었으며 콩의 발아는 $20^{\circ}C$의 항온기에서 10시간 수침 후 8일간 발아시켰다. 세 가지 품종 중 isoflavone 함량이 가장 높았던 품종은 명주나물콩(1.288mg/g)이었으며 그 다음은 태광콩(0.671 mg/g), 다원콩(0.661 mg/g)이었다. 총 isoflavone함량은 전반적으로 발아 초기에 증가하였고 그 후는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 최고값에서의 증가율은 20-50%의 범위였으며 특히 daidzein과 genestein등 aglycone 형태의 증가가 더욱 현저하였다 올리고당인 stachyose와 raffinose의 함량은 발아 중 빠르게 감소하였으나 sucrose의 감소는 비교적 완만하였다. 건물량은 발아 중 서서히 감소하였고 뿌리의 성장은 발아 2일부터 시작하였다.
