Abstract

This study was conducted to increase sweetpotato utilization and to determine the vegetative value of sweetpotato tips by investigating the phenolic compounds, antioxidative effect in oil, electron donating ability, nitrite scavenging effect and ACE inhibition activities. The phenolic compounds present in sweetpotato tips are the gallic, chlorogenic, gentisic, caffeic, couramic and ferulic acid, which are 16-122 times higher compared to other vegetables such as spinach, soybean sprout, and perilla leaves. In each solvent extract, the total phenolic compounds (175.8mg/g) was composed of 55% EtOAc extraction and 39% BuOH extract, respectively. The results of induction period using the Rancimat method showed that the antioxidant activity of SP tips was higher than the tocopherol or BHT. The relative levels of each solvent extract in SP tips were as follows: EtOAc>BHT>BuOH>Tocopherol>Water>$CHCl_3$>Hexane. The peroxide value was measured every 5 days for 25 days during storage and results showed that the peroxide value, the tips, tuberous root and tocopherol were lower compared to spinach, soybean sprout and perilla leaves. Nitrite scavenging effects were excellent in sweetpotato tips, perilla leaves and soybean sprout, especially, inhibition rate of perilla leaves (72%) were superior to the others. In process of solvent extraction, activity of BuOH and water extractions were the best. ACE inhibition activity in sweetpotato tips was 1.5 times higher than in tuberous roots and $1.9{\sim}3.7$ times higher than in spinach, soybean sprout, perilla leaves.

고구마의 이용성을 증대하고, 고구마 끝순의 채소적 가치를 구명키 위해 페놀화합물의 함량, 지질산화 억제 효과, 전자공여능, 아질산염소거능, ACE저해활성 등 생리활성을 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 고구마에 함유된 phenolics는 gallic, chlorogenic, gentisic, caffeic, couramic, ferulic acid 등 6종이었고, 이중 간독성 회복 및 항산화 효능이 큰 것으로 보고되고 있는 chlorogenic acid, gentisic acid, caffeic acid가 많이 함유되어 있었다. 부위별로는 괴근에 비하여 잎과 끝순의 함량이 높았고, 고구마 끝순이 콩나물이나 들깨잎, 시금치보다 $16{\sim}122$배 높은 함량이었다. 용매분획별로는 총 함량 175.8 mg/g 중에서 EtOAc층에 55%, BuOH층에 39%가 함유되었다. 2. Rancimat를 이용하여 산패 유도기간을 조사한 결과, 고구마 끝순의 항산화력은 옥배유, 팜유 및 돈지에서 합성 항산화제인 토코페롤이나 BHT보다 높았고, 용매분획별로는 EtOAc>BHT>BuOH>Tocopherol>Water>$CHCl_3$>Hexane층 순으로 높았다. 3. 과산화물가에의한 항산화 활성은, 각 추출물별로는 끝순, 괴근, 토코페롤이 들깨잎, 콩나물, 시금치보다 낮은 과산화물가를 나타냈고, 이중 끝순은 토코페롤보다 더 높은 항산화성을 나타냈다. 고구마 끝순의 용매분획별 항산화활성은 대두유와 옥배유 및 팜유에서 BuOH와 water층의 항산화활성이 높았다. 4. 전자공여능에 의한 항산화 활성은, 고구마 끝순의 항산화 활성은 78.2%로 괴근 42.3%에 비하여 매우 높았고, 들깨잎, 시금치, 콩나물은 $28.9{\sim}18.0%$로 낮았다. 이와 같은 결과는 고구마 끝순에 다량 함유된 페놀화합물과 관련된 것으로 사료된다. 용매분획별로는 EtOAc>BuOH>Tocopherol>Water>$CHCl_3$>Hexane층 순으로 높은 활성을 나타냈다. 5. 아질산염소거능은 끝순, 들깨잎, 콩나물이 우수하였고 그중 들깨잎이 저해율 72%로 가장 높았으며, 용매분획 중에는 BuOH과 water추출물의 활성이 가장 높았다. 6. ACE 저해 효과는 고구마 부위별로는 끝순이 괴근에 비하여 1.5배 높았고, 들깨잎, 콩나물, 시금치보다 $1.9{\sim}3.7$배 높았다. 용매분획별로는 EtOAc, BuOH, water 추출물이 높은 활성을 보였다. 7. 이상을 종합하여 볼 때 고구마 끝순에는 페놀화합물이 다량 함유되어 있어 높은 항산화 활성을 가지며, 아질산염소거능 및 ACE저해활성과 같은 생리적 효과도 높아 기능성 채소로 이용하기에 충분한 가치가 있다고 판단된다.
