Abstract

Perismmon has been consumed for long times in Korea and used as a drug for a long time in Korea, It was known to help alcohol intoxication. Ingested alcohol is metabilized by alcohol dehydrogenease and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in liver. Alcohol dehydrogenease activator and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activator(ALDHA) was detercted in persimmon. The oncentration of ALDHA was determined and compared in different havesting time, species, and available processed foods. The level of ALDHA was highest in persimmon (Fuyu) harvested in November. Lower ALDHA activities were found in its processed foods. Persimmon and its processed foods are expected to be effective in decreasing the concentration of alcohol and acetaldehyde after alcohol intake.

감은 종기, 염증질환, 부스럼 화상을 치료하고 고혈압을 예방하고 동맥경화에 효과가 있고 숙취해소에 효능이 있다고 알려져있다. 감과육에 알콜대사에 관여하는 acetaldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH)의 활성을 촉진하는 물질이 존재하므로ALDH의 활성을 촉진하는 물질을 감의 계절별, 품종별 측정을 했고 또 감을 이용한 가공식품에 농도를 측정하였다. ALDH의 활성을 촉진하는 물질은 부유의 경우 11월에 수확한 과일에서 가장 높고 품종별로는 부유가 가장 높았고 갑주백목은 부유와 유사하였고 청도반시, 서촌조생의 순이었다. 가공식품은 감건조품, 곶감, 감즙은 대체로 ALDH의 활성을 촉진하는 물질의 활성이 높게 유지되나 감음료, 감식초와 같은 음료는 ALDH의 활성을 촉진하는 물질의 활성이 낮았다. 감 자체뿐만 아니라 감가공식품에서도 ALDH의 활성을 촉진하는 물질의 활성이 어느 정도 유지되므로 이를 이용한 숙취해소작용이 기대된다.
