Abstract

The chemical components of Citrus junos produced in Korea were divided into two parts; common and special components respectively. In the former the relation between the physiological effects of the plant and its ripening process was observed periodically while the latter was analyzed the ripening fruits for their effective utilization as food. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The analytical result of seasonal change showed that the rind ratio was higher than the flesh ratio and on a regional basis, the rind ratio was higher in the islands than on land areas. 2. In the experiment the moisture was increased until the third period, but afterwards it was made constant. While the content of crude fat, cellulose, ash, total acid and soluble non-nitrogen material were decreased until the third period and the cotent of cellulose and total acid were continuousely redused until the last period. In con trast with the above the content of reducing sugars was increased but the content of crude fat, cellulose, ash, crude protein and soluble non-nitrogen material were increased until last period. 3. The content of vitamin C was richer in the rind than in the flesh, in the Korean species than in the Japanese. 4. Free sugars; xylose, fructose, glucose were richer in the rind than in the flesh. 5. The content of volatile organic acids was richer in the rind than in the flesh. Among them, volatile acids, acetic acid, formic and n-valeric acid were found in the rind and formic acid, acetic acid and propionic acid were deteceed in the flesh. 6. The total content of non-volatile acids was richer in the flesh than in the rind. In the kind of non-volatile acids, citric acid,glutaric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid and an unknown acid were found in the rind and citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, oxalic acid, glutaric acid and malonic acid in the flesh. 7. Three kinds of aromatic components: D-limonene, ${\alpha}-pinene$, p-cymene and seven other kinds of unknown aromatic components were detected in neutral essential oils. Among them, D-limonene seemed to be main aromatic component in the fruits. 8. From the above results it is confirmed that both rind and flesh of the ripened fruit could be utilized for food effectively, and unripened fruits are suitable for producing citric acid, ripened fruits are also useful for producing juice.

한국산유자(韓國産柚子)의 화학적성분(化學的成分)을 일반성분(一般成分)과 특수성분(特殊成分)으로 구분(區分)하여 일반성분(一般成分)이 관(關)하여는 시기별변화(時期別變化)를 특수성분(特殊成分)은 성숙기유자(成熟期柚子)에 관(關)하여 amino acid vitamin C, 유리당(遊離糖), 유기산(有機酸), 향성분(香成分)등을 분석(分析)하여 시기별성분(時期別成分) 변화(變化)가 식물생리(植物生理)에 미치는 영향(影響)과 식품(食品)의 효과적(效果的) 이용(利用)에 관(關)한 검토결과(檢討結果)는 다음과 같이 요약(要約)된다. 1. 과피(果皮)와 과육(果肉)의 시기별분석결과(時期別分析結果)는 과피율(果皮率)과 과육율(果肉率)를 비교(比較)할때 전자(前者)가 더 크며 지역적(地域的)으로 볼때는 과피율(果皮率)은 도서부(島嶼部)가 내륙지(內陸地)보다 더 크다. 2. 일반성분(一般成分)에 있어서 과피(果皮)에서는 3기(期)까지 수분함량(水分含豊)의 증가(增加)를 보이고 기후(其後) 일정상태(一定狀態)를 유지(維持)하며 조지방(粗脂肪), 섬유질(纖維質), 회분(灰分), 총산(總酸), 가용성무질소물(可溶性無蜜素物)등은 3기(基)까지 감소(減少)하며 환원당(還元糖)은 급증(急增)하고 섬유질(纖維質)과 총산(總酸)은 계속감소(繼續減少)를 보인다. 과육(果肉)에서는 3기(期)까지 수분(水分), 환원당(還元糖)이 증가(增加)하고 조지방(粗脂肪), 섬유질(纖維質), 회분(灰分), 조단백질(粗蛋白質), 가용성무질소물(可溶性無窒素物)등은 3기(期)까지 감소(減少)한다. 3 Vitamin C의 함량(含量)은 과육(果肉) 보다 과피(果皮)에 많고 일본산유자(日本産柚子) 보다 한국산유자(韓國産柚子)에 더 많었다. 4. 유리당(遊離糖)은 xylose, fructose, glucose, sucrose등 4종(種)이 분리검출(分離檢出)되었고 과육(果肉)보다 과피(果皮)에 더 많이함유(含有)되어 있었다. 5. 휘발성유기산(揮發性有機酸)의 함량(含量)은 과육(果肉)보다 과피(果皮)에 더 많고 과피(果皮)에 acetic acid, formic acid, n-valet acid등 3종(種)과 과육(果肉)에 formic acid, acetic acid, propionicacid 등 3종(種)이 분리(分離)되었다. 6. 비휘발성유기산(非揮發性有機酸)의 함량(含量)은 과피(果皮)보다 과육(果肉)에 더 많고 과피(果皮)에 citric acid, glutaric acid, malic acid tartaric acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid와 unknown 1종(種)등 8종(種)이 분리검출(分離檢出)되었고 과육(果肉)에서는 citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, oxalic acid, glutaric acid, malonic acid등 6종(種)이 분리확인(分離確認)되있다. 7. 향성분(香成分)의 정유중성부(精油中性部)에서 D-limonene, ${\alpha}-pinone$, p-cymene의 3종(種)과 unknown 7종(種)등 10종(種)이 분리검색(分離檢索)되었고 함량(含量)으로 보아 D-limonene이 유자(柚子)의 주향성분(主香成分)인 것으로 생각된다. 8. 식품(食品)의 효율적이용(效率約利用)은 과피(果皮)와 과육(果肉)을 공(共)히 쓸수 있고 미숙과(未熟果)는 citric acid제조용(製造用), 성숙과(成熟果)는 과중제조원료(果汁製造原料)로 쓸수 있다는 것이 상기(上記) 연구결과(硏究結果)에의(依)하여 확인(確認)되었다.
