Abstract

This study was conducted to compare and analyze the active and general components in mate leaf tea according to degree of fermentation conditions. The contents of tannic acid of hot water extracts from #1 (mate leaf), #2 (Mate leaf after fermentation and roasting), #3 (Mate leaf after Pan-firing), and #4 (Mate leaf after final drying) were decreased according to degree of fermentation conditions. Polyphenol contents of hot water extracts were approximate in #1 and #3, with measurements of 43.45 mg/g and 38.20 mg/g, respectively. Caffeine contents were 6.78 mg/g in #1, 4.30 mg/g in #3, and 3.65 mg/g in #4. In addition, the level of total free amino acid of #1 was higher than that of #2, #3, and #4. Lightness (L) and Redness (a) values increased and yellowness (b) values decreased after fermentation. When sensory tests were conducted, mate leaf tea after fermentation had pleasant taste.

본 연구는 최근 기능성 차 소재로 알려져 있는 mate의 특유의 맛과 향을 개선하기 위하여 발효공정을 적용하였으며 발효공정 단계별 유용성분 분석을 통해 품질특성을 비교하였다. 발효 전 mate 추출물에서는 탄닌 함량이 $5.81{\pm}0.02\;{\mu}g/mL$로 측정되었으나 발효 후 덖기 과정 및 최종 건조과정을 거침에 따라 각각 $5.56{\pm}0.03\;{\mu}g/mL$, $5.49{\pm}0.04\;{\mu}g/mL$로 유의성 있게 감소하였다. 총 폴리페놀 및 총 플라보노이드 함량은 발효 전 mate 추출물에서 각각 43.45 mg/g, 0.86 mg/g이었으며 발효 후 덖음 과정을 거친 구간이 각각 38.20 mg/g, 0.73 mg/g으로 나타나 발효공정이 진행 될수록 낮아지는 경향이었다. 발효 전 mate추출물의 카페인 함량은 6.78 mg/g이었으나 발효 후 덖음 과정을 거친 후 4.30 mg/g으로 나타나 발효공정이 진행될수록 낮아지는 경향이었으며 최종 건조완료 후 3.65 mg/g이었다. 발효공정이 진행됨에 따라 유리아미노산과 필수아미노산은 낮아지는 경향이었으며, 발효 후 덖기과정을 거친 mate의 유리아미노산과 필수아미노산 함량은 각각 $690.95\;{\mu}g/mL$, $93.68\;{\mu}g/mL$이었다. 종합적인 기호도는 발효공정이 진행될수록 높은 점수를 얻어 풍미가 향상되었음을 알 수 있었는데, 발효를 통해 단맛 및 구수한 맛은 증가하였고 쓴맛과 떫은맛은 감소하여 종합적인 기호도는 증가하였다.
