Abstract

Differences in carotenoid composition in the integuments of wild and cultured chinese muddy loach Misgurnus mizolepis and muddy loach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus were compared. Total carotenoid contents in the integuments of the wild and cultured chinese muddy loach were $4.76mg\%\;and\;3.43mg\%$, respectively. The important carotenoids in the integuments of the wild chinese muddy loach were lutein($30.5\%$), ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin($24.6\%$), ${\beta}$-carotene($20.6\%$) and cynthiaxanthin($11.7\%$). In addition, zeaxanthin($4.7\%$), tunaxanthin ($4.5\%$), and a-cryptoxanthin($1.0\%$) were present in small amounts. In the integuments of the cultured chinese muddy loach, lutein($35.4\%$), ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin($17.9\%$), cynthiaxanthin($16.0\%$) and ${\beta}$-carotene($12.7\%$) were present as important carotenoids. In addition, zeaxanthin($8.1\%$), tunaxanthin($5.0\%$), a-cryptoxanthin($0.9\%$) were found in small amounts. Total carotenoid contents in the integuments of the wild and cultured muddy loach were $4.00mg\%\;and\;2.99mg\%$, respectively. The important carotenoids in the integuments of the wild muddy loach were lutein($32.9\%$), ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin($18.8\%$), cynthiaxanthin($17.0\%$) and ${\beta}$-carotene($15.1\%$). In addition, zeaxanthin($6.5\%$), tunaxanthin($6.0\%$) and a-cryptoxanthin($1.5\%$) were found in small amounts. In the integuments of the cultured muddy loach, lutein($51.8\%$), cynthiaxanthin($19.9\%$) and ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin($10.8\%$) were observed as important carotenoids. In addition, ${\beta}$-carotene($5.0\%$), zeaxanthin($4.8\%$), tunaxanthin($4.5\%$) and a-cryptoxanthin($0.2\%$) were found in small amounts.

천연산 및 양식산 미꾸라지와 미꾸리 표피의 carotenoid 조성을 thin-layer chromatography, column chromatography로 분리하고, $I_2$에 의한 이성화 반응 및 용매에 따른 가시부 흡수 spectrum을 비교, 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 미꾸라지 표피의 총 carotenold함량은 천연산 $4.76mg\%$인데 비하여 양식산 $3.43mg\%$로서 천연산이 양식산보다 함량이 높았다. Carotenoid 조성은 천연산에서 lutein $30.5\%$, ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin $24.6\%$, ${\beta}$-carotene $20.6\%$, cynthiaxanthin $11.7\%$로서 주성분을 이루고, 그 외 zeaxanthin $4.7\%$, tunaxanthin $4.5\%$, a-cryptoxanthin $1.0\%$의 순으로 함유되었으며, 양식산에는 lutein $35.4\%$, ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin $17.9\%$, cynthiaxanthin $16.0\%$, ${\beta}$-carotene $12.7\%$로서 주성분을 이루고, 그 외 zeaxanthin $8.2\%$, tunaxanthin $5.0\%$, a-cryptoxanthin $0.9\%$순으로 함유되어, 천연산은 양식산에 비하여 ${\beta}$-carotene 및 ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin의 함유비가 높은 반면, lutein의 함유비가 낮은 경향을 보여 서로 차이를 나타내었다. 2) 미꾸리 표피의 총 carotenoid함량은 천연산 $4.00mg\%$인데 비하여 양식산 $2.99mg\%$로서 미꾸라지에서와 같이 천연산이 양식산보다 함량이 높았다. Carotenoid조성은 천연산에서 lutein $32.9\%$, ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin $18.8\%$, cynthiaxanthin $17.0\%$, ${\beta}$-carotene $15.1\%$로서 주성분을 이루고, 그 외 zeaxanthin $6.5\%$, tunaxanthin $6.0\%$, a-cryptoxanthin $1.5\%$의 순으로 함유되었으며, 양식산에는 lutein $51.8\%$, cynthiaxanthin $19.9\%$, ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin $10.8\%$로서 주성분을 이루고, 그 외 ${\beta}$-carotene $5.0\%$, zeaxanthin $4.8\%$, tunaxanthin $4.5\%$, a-cryptoxanthin $0.2\%$의 순으로 함유되어, 미꾸라지에서와 같이 천연산은 양식산에 비하여 ${\beta}$-carotene 및 ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin의 함유비가 높은 반면, lutein의 함유비가 낮은 경향을 보여 서로 상이 하였으며, 미꾸라지와 미꾸리 표피의 carotenoid 함유비는 다소 차이는 있었지만, 조성에 있어서는 서로 유사하였다.
