Abstract

Superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities of sixteen kinds of fruits, vegetable juice and commercial concentrates were measured by pyrogallol autoxidation method. The changes in SOD-like activity by heat treatment and the increase in SOD-like activity of apple juice mixed with fruits and vegetables were investigated. SOD-like activity of broccoli juice was 41.7%, the highest value among tested sample. SOD-like activities of strawberry juice, carrot concentrate, kiwi juice, radish juice and apple juice were 30.2, 30.0, 27.6, 26.7, 24.1 and 14.6%, respectively. SOD-like activity was increased generally after heat treatment at $95^{\circ}C$ until 20 min. SOD-like activity of apple juice was increased $20{\sim}35%$ by mixing with 20% of carrot concentrate, kiwi juice, strawberry juice, broccoli juice, respectively and particularly was increased 48% by mixing with 20% of raddish juice.

국내에서 시판되고 있는 16종의 과실, 채소 착즙액 및 농축품의 SOD 유사활성을 pyrogallol autoxidation 방법을 이용하여 측정하였으며 이들의 열안정성, 사과주스에 첨가시 사과주스의 SOD 유사활성 상승효과를 조사하였다. SOD 유사활성은 브로콜리 착즙액이 41.7%, 딸기, 당근 착즙액 등이 30% 이상으로 높게 나타났으며 그 다음은 케일농축액, 키위 착즙액, 무 착즙액이 $24.1{\sim}27.6%$ 정도의 SOD 유사활성을 나타내었다. $95^{\circ}C$에서 20분까지 처리시에도 SOD 유사활성은 오히려 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 사과주스의 SOD 유사활성을 100%로 할 때 사과주스에 당근농축액과 키위착즙액을 20% 첨가시에는 120%정도, 딸기와 브로콜리 착즙액은 135%의 높은 SOD 유사활성 상승효과를 나타내었다. 특히 무 착즙액의 경우 사과주스에 20% 첨가시 148%로 가장 높은 상승효과를 나타내었다.
