Abstract

In this study, raw ginseng produced by different methods was puffed, and physicochemical properties were analyzed and compared. Raw ginseng included white ginseng lateral root (WGL), red ginseng lateral root (RGL), red ginseng main root (RGM), and red ginseng main root with 15% (w/w) moisture (RGMM). All samples were puffed at a pressure of 7 kg/cm2. Crude saponin content was increased after puffing compared with that of control ginseng. RGM and RGMM showed significant increases in crude saponin content, from 1.67% and 1.41% to 2.84% and 3.09% (all w/w), respectively. However, the ginsenoside content of WGL was decreased after puffing. Rg3, Rh1, and Rh2 values of red ginseng were increased by puffing compared with those of control red ginseng. The total sugar content of ginseng decreased after puffing. The mineral components of puffed ginseng were similar to those of raw ginseng. Levels of total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities of ginseng were increased after puffing, and electron-donating ability was greatly increased. The acidic polysaccharide content of ginseng increased slightly and the amino acid content decreased due to the high temperature used during puffing.

백미삼(지근), 홍미삼(지근), 홍삼절편Ⅰ(주근: 수삼-증삼-건조-습점-절편-건조) 및 홍삼절편II(주근: 수삼-절편-증삼-건조)을 puffing gun으로 팽화시켜 그 전후의 성분특성을 조사하였다. 팽화 후 기화로 인해 수분함량은 감소하였으나 다른 일반 성분에서는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 총당의 경우 팽화 후 모든 시료에서 감소 경향을 보였으나 환원당의 경우 백미삼을 제외한 홍삼류 시료에서 증가 경향을 보였다. 모든 시료에서 조사포닌 함량이 증가하였으며 홍삼류 시료들은 일부 ginsenoside에서 2배 이상의 증가량을 보였다. 또한 팽화 후 산성 다당체가 증가하였을 뿐만아니라 총 페놀성 화합물과 전자공여능의 경우 비슷한 경향으로 증가하여 팽화에 의해 항산화 활성이 전반적으로 증가한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 팽화 후 아미노산 함량 및 지방산 함량이 감소하였으나 백미삼의 경우 불포화지방산에서는 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 무기질 함량은 팽화 전후로 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 결론적으로 모든 시료에서 일반 성분, 무기질 등의 함량변화 없이 약리활성을 가지는 조사포닌, 총 페놀성 화합물, 산성 다당체 등의 성분들이 팽화 가공으로 인해 증가하는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 고부가가치의 인삼 기능성 식품개발을 위하여 팽화가공법의 적용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
