Abstract

We investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant capacities of Korean commercial yogurt. Twenty commercial yogurt samples exhibited a pH of 4.05-4.51, titratable acidity of 0.80-1.45%, viable counts of 6.65-9.39 log CFU/g, and total phenolic content of 0.71-2.92 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry weight (dw). Lactic acid was the major organic acid detected by HPLC with UV detection, and its content was 5.4 times and 46.5 times higher than that of malic acid and citric acid, respectively. The tested commercial yogurt samples exhibited antioxidant potential (1.62-8.95 mM trolox equivalent/g, dw) measured based on scavenging activities of DPPH and ABTS radicals. The average antioxidant potentials of commercial set yogurt containing fruit syrup were significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of cream and plain yogurt. A positive linear correlation was observed between the total phenolic content and the antioxidant capacities, suggesting that phenolic components are likely to contribute significantly to the antioxidant potential of commercial yogurt.

국내에서 시판되는 20종의 호상 요구르트의 품질 특성은 pH 4.05-4.51, 적정산도 0.80-1.45%, 생균수 6.65-9.39 log CFU/g 으로 측정되어 일반적인 호상 요구르트의 품질기준에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 총 페놀함량은 생크림 요거트(D-2)가 0.71 mg GAE/g으로 가장 낮은 반면, 블루베리(E-2)와 딸기 시럽(A-2, C-1, B-1)이 첨가된 요구르트(2.30-2.92 mg GAE/g)가 가장 높게 측정되었다. 시판 호상 요구르트에 함유된 lactic acid의 함량은 20.38-54.42 mg으로 측정되었으며, 총 유기산 함량의 82.9%를 차지하여 주요 유기산 성분으로 나타났다. 생균수와 젖산 및 총 유기산의 함량이 가장 높은 시료는 그릭 요거트(G-1)로 나타났다. DPPH와 ABTS 라디컬 소거활성으로 측정된 항산화 활성이 가장 높은 시료는 딸기시럽이 첨가된 A-2와 B-1이었으며, 가장 낮은 시료는 플레인 소프트 요거트 F-1이었다. 이들 항산화 측정법과 시료에 함유된 총 페놀함량과의 상관관계는 평균 r=0.4574로 나타나, 호상 요구르트의 항산화 활성은 자체 내 함유된 총 페놀성분의 농도와 밀접한 상관성을 보여 주었다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는, 소비자 측면에서 항산화 활성과 probiotics의 효능을 동시에 지향하는 요구르트 제품을 선택하고자 할 때 유익한 정보로 활용될 수 있다.
