Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the extraction conditions for persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) leaf tea (PLT) on its color quality and antioxidant properties. The amount of persimmon leaf (PL) powder and pH influenced the PLT's color and antioxidant capacity. As the amount of PL powder in tea increased, lightness decreased while yellowness increased. The PLT with the highest amount of PL (10 mg/mL) exhibited the highest 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). In addition, the PLT with the highest PL showed the highest total polyphenol and flavonoid contents. Subsequently, PLT was prepared using 10 mg/mL PL powder under varying pH conditions. As pH increased from 4 to 7, lightness decreased while redness and yellowness increased. Antioxidant capacity was determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity and FRAP assay showed that lower pH exhibited higher antioxidant capacity. The PLT extracted under the lowest pH of 4 showed higher polyphenol and flavonoid contents than that extracted under higher pH conditions. Overall, PLT extraction using a solvent with pH 4.0 showed better antioxidant activities and higher amounts of polyphenolic compounds. Simultaneously, lesser lightness, redness, and yellowness were detected in PLT extracted under pH 4 conditions. In conclusion, to acquire a better functional health benefit in terms of antioxidant capacity, preparing PLT under pH 4 conditions is suggested.

본 연구는 시판용 감잎분말을 이용한 침출차 제조 시 시료의 양 및 pH 조건이 감잎차의 색 품질과 항산화능에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 차 내 감잎의 양이 많을수록 차의 명도는 감소하고 적색도와 황색도는 증가하였다. 항산화 특성 관련 지표 분석 결과, 감잎 함량이 가장 높았던 감잎차(10 mg/mL)에서 항산화력(DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성: 0.138±0.000 mg AAE/mL, ABTS 라디칼 소거 활성: 0.908±0.003 µmol TE/mL, FRAP 환원력: 0.111± 0.004 mg AAE/mL)과 항산화 성분 함량(총폴리페놀 함량: 0.219±0.010 mg/GAE mL, 총플라보노이드 함량: 0.107±0.003 mg/CE mL)이 가장 높았다. 다음으로, 감잎차 내 시료의 양은 10 mg/mL로 고정하고, 침출 용매의 pH 조건을 pH 4에서 7 범위로 설정하여 색도와 항산화성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, pH가 증가함에 따라 감잎차의 명도는 감소하고 적색도와 황색도는 증가하였다. 또한, DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성과 FRAP 항산화력은 pH가 낮을수록 높은 경향을 보였다. 일관되게, 가장 낮은 pH 4에서 다른 군에 비해 폴리페놀 함량과 플라보이드 함량이 가장 높은 것을 확인하였다. 전반적으로, pH 4 조건에서 제조한 감잎차의 항산화 활성이 다른 pH 조건 대비 더 우수하였고 폴리페놀 화합물 함량도 더 많았다. 동시에 색도는 더 밝으면서 붉은 정도와 황색 정도가 적었다. 결론적으로, 시료의 양을 높이면서 낮은 pH 조건에서 감잎차를 준비하는 것이 항산화 기능성 측면에서 더 나은 건강 효과를 나타내는 것으로 사료된다.
