천일염 함유 청국장의 항산화효과

  • Published : 2009.04.30

Abstract

The antioxidant effects of chungkukjang, a popular fermented soybean paste in Korea, prepared with solar salt were investigated in vitro. DJI chungkukjang(DJIC) was prepared using 3%(w/w) solar salt or 3%(w/w) refined salt, and fermented by Bacillus subtilis DJI. All of DJIC with no salt, DJIC with 3%(w/w) solar salt, DJIC containing 3%(w/w) refined salt, and commercial chungkukjang were extracted with ethanol, hexane, and water. Antioxidative activities were measured by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl(DPPH) free-radical generation, nitrite scavenging activity, peroxide value in the presence of linoleic acid, and the Rancimat test, in comparison with the commercial antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT). Ethanol chungkukjang extracts showed the highest antioxdative capacities, whereas DPPH free-radical generation and scavenging activities, and linoleic acid peroxide values of DJIC extracts prepared using solar salt, and salt-free DJIC, showed the greatest values. In addition, extracts of DJIC prepared using solar salt had the highest antioxidant indices. Antioxidative activities were higher in DJIC extracts than in those of commercial chungkukjang. However, the antioxidative capacities of DJIC prepared using solar salt and DJIC with no added salt were less than those of BHT. In conclusion, these results suggest that extracts of chungkukjang prepared using solar salt are useful nutritional antioxidants and that dietary supplementation with such materials would decrease oxidative stress.

본 연구에서는 천일염의 아직 밝혀지지 않은 기능성과 청국장의 효과를 감안하여 천일염으로 제조된 청국장의 기능적 우수성을 평가하기 위하여 Bacillus subtilis DJI 균주를 접종하여 발효시킨 무염청국장, 3% 천일염 첨가 청국장, 3% 정제염 첨가 청국장과 3% 정제염이 첨가되어진 시판청국장의 에탄올, 물 및 헥산 추출물의 항산화력을 비교 검토하였다. 청국장 에탄올, 헥산 및 물 추출 수율은 각각 $10.9{\sim}11.8%$, $15.7{\sim}16.9%$, $18.6{\sim}19.4%$ 범위로 청국장 용매별 간에는 서로 유사한 경향이었으며, 물 추출 수율이 가장 높게 나타났다. 추출물의 DPPH에 대한 전자소거능, 아질산염 소거능, linoleic acid에 대한 과산화물가 및 항산화지수 측정에 의한 항산화효과는 에탄올 추출 시료군이 물 추출 시료군에 비하여 높았다. 청국장 추출물의 전자소거능과 아질산염 소거능은 무염청국장과 3% 천일염 첨가 청국장 추출물이 가장 우수하였으나, 합성항산화제에 비해서는 낮은 효능을 보였다. 청국장 추출물 중 항산화지수는 3% 천일염 첨가 청국장 추출물이 가장 우수하였다. Bacillus subtilis DJI 균주를 접종하여 발효시킨 청국장인 무염청국장, 3% 천일염 첨가 청국장 및 3% 정제염 첨가 청국장이 시판청국장에 비하여 항산화효과가 우수하였으며, 균주를 접종하여 발효시킨 청국장 중 무염청국장과 3% 천일염 첨가 청국장이 3% 정제염 첨가 청국장에 비하여 항산화효과가 다소 우수하였다.
