Abstract

Properties of pectin extracted from flesh of Asian pear in 3 cultivars were investigated at different growth stages. The extraction yields of pectin by the acidic treatment decreased during the growth. The $L^*$ value of young fruit was lower than unripe and ripe fruit, and $a^*$ and $b^*$ value were higher in the same cultivars. The degree of esterification (DE) and intrinsic viscosity of pectin were 21.1-41.3% and 1.90-3.81 dL/g, respectively. The pectin extracted from flesh of pear showed about 30% glucose retarding effect. The DE value had a high correlation with retarding effect on glucose transport and intrinsic viscosity (p<0.01 and p<0.05). The intrinsic viscosity of the pectin seems to affect the retardation of glucose transport in blood. Pectin extracted from flesh of Asian pear by acidic treatment could be a good source to develop low calorie and functional food.

상품성이 낮은 배의 부가가치 증대와 배 펙틴의 산업적 이용을 위한 목적으로 생장시기에 따라 배 과육에서 펙틴을 추출하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. 산처리법에 의한 펙틴의 추출수율은 배 과실이 성숙됨에 따라 감소하였고 유과로부터 추출한 펙틴의 $L^*$값은 미숙과나 성숙과에서 추출한 펙틴의 $L^*$값에 비하여 낮았고 $a^*$값과 $b^*$값은 더 높았다. 순도는 22.77-43.07%로 비교적 낮았고 메톡실함량은 3.44-6.73%, DE값은 21.08-41.25%로 저메톡실펙틴이었으며 품종내 성숙과에서 추출한 펙틴의 메톡실함량이 가장 높았다. 고유점도는 1.90-3.81 dL/g이었고 포도당 흡수 지연효과는 약 30% 혹은 그 이상으로 비교적 높은 효과를 보였다. 메톡실함량과 DE값은 고유점도와 5% 수준에서, 포도당 흡수 지연효과와는 1% 수준에서 높은 상관을 보였고 고유점도는 포도당 흡수 지연효과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 배과육에서 산처리법으로 추출한 펙틴은 저칼로리 식품 생산에 그리고 기능성 식품 개발에서 좋은 수용성 식이섬유로 이용 가능할 것으로 생각되며 펙틴 추출 시 순도를 높이기 위한 연구가 더 어루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.
