Abstract

This study qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed various carotenoids, L-ascorbic acid, and tocopherol and their anti-oxidant properties from four varieties (Special, Chelsea, Cupra, and Fiesta) and three different color stages [green (GP), yellow (YP) and red (RP)] of paprika harvested in Korea. Seven carotenoids were identified, mainly lutein in GP (Special: 4.65${\pm}$0.84 mg/kg fresh weight (fw)) and YP (Fiesta: 5.19${\pm}$0.05 mg/kg fw), and capsorubin (3.16${\pm}$0.35 mg/kg fw) and capsanthin (53.70${\pm}$6.23 mg/kg fw) in Special of RP. RP was the highest in total carotenoids, L-ascorbic acid, and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol contents, while GP was the highest in ${\gamma}$-tocopherol content. RP showed the strongest antioxidant activity ($IC_{50}$=62.40${\pm}$0.03 ${\mu}g/mL$ in an ABTS assay and 182.77${\pm}$31.74 ${\mu}g/mL$ in a DPPH assay). Paprika in different color stages has many phytochemicals even though they have different kinds of carotenoids. Therefore, dietary intake of paprika may be helpful for improving human health.

본 연구에서는 파프리카(Capsicum annuum L.)의 색상별, 품종별 phytochemical들의 성분 분석 및 항산화 활성을 비교, 분석하고자 하였다. Phytochemical은 carotenoids, L-ascorbic acid, ${\alpha}$, ${\gamma}$-tocopherol 함량을 측정하였으며, 항산화 활성은 ABTS와 DPPH radical 소거 활성을 측정하였다. 파프리카에서 7종의 carotenoids를 정성 및 정량 분석한 결과, lutein은 녹색과의 Special품종과 황색과의 Fiesta 품종이 각각 4.65${\pm}$0.84, 5.19${\pm}$0.05 mg/kg fw로 다른 파프리카에 비해 그 함량이 높았다. 적색과의 Special 품종의 capsanthin 함량이 53.70${\pm}$6.23 mg/kg fw로 다른 파프리카에 비해 많이 함유되어 있었으며, 총 carotenoids의 함량도 다른 파프리카보다 유의하게 높았다. L-Ascorbic acid는 녹색과에서 적색과로 갈수록 그 함량이 증가하는 양상을 나타내었다. Tocopherol의 함량은 10.48-35.17 mg/kg fw으로 나타났으며, 녹색과에서 그 함량이 높았다. ${\gamma}$-Tocopherol의 함량은 녹색과의 Cupra와 Special에서 각각 29.31${\pm}$1.56, 23.34${\pm}$2.26 mg/kg fw로 다른 두 색상에 비해 높은 함량을 나타내었으며, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol은 적색과 Cupra 품종에서 26.02${\pm}$2.89 mg/kg fw로 그 함량이 가장 높았다. 파프리카의 색상별 ABTS와 DPPH radical 소거활성을 살펴본 결과 추출물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 radical 소거활성이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 모든 색상의 파프리카 추출물이 ${\beta}$-carotene보다 그 활성이 높은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 적색과가 다른 색상의 파프리카에 비해 항산화능이 높았는데, 이는 적색과에 다량의 capsanthin, L-ascorbic acid, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol과 같은 phytochemical들이 함유되어 있어 항산화능이 높은 것으로 사료된다.
