Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the possibility of using Opuntia ficus-indica as a natural health food source. To accomplish this, the contents of general and antioxidative nutrient contents of Opuntia ficus-indica were measured. The carbohydrate, crude protein, crude fat and crude ash were 66.79%, 5.51%, 9.89% and 9.29%, respectively. The calorie contents of Opuntia ficusindica was 378.21 kcal. The content of total dietary fiber was 36.54%. The essential and non-essential amino acids contents were 1,635.14 mg and 3,012.68 mg, respectively. Potassium was the most abundant mineral followed by Ca, Mg, and Na, showing that Opuntia ficus-indica is an alkali material. The electron-donating activity (EDA) of Opuntia ficus-indica was 29.85~44.57%, and the activity was dependent on the sample concentration. Total phenolic content of Opuntia ficus-indica was 2.21 ${\mu}g$/mg, and total flavonoids content was estimated as 1.80 ${\mu}g$/mg. Opuntia ficus-indica extract showed the highest reducing power (OD 700=3.18) at a concentration of 6.25 mg/mL. Based on the above results, we determined that the Opuntia ficus-indica has potential antioxidant activities.

본 연구는 손바닥선인장열매의 기능성 식품 및 화장품 소재로서의 이용가능성을 조사하기 위해 손바닥선인장열매의 영양성분 및 항산화활성 관련 성분을 분석하였다. 손바닥 선인장열매의 일반성분은 건량 기준으로 탄수화물 66.79%, 조단백질 5.51%, 조지방 9.89% 및 조회분 9.29%이었고, 손바닥 선인장열매 100 g의 함유 열량은 378.21 kcal로 분석되었으며, 총 식이섬유소 함량은 건량 기준으로 36.54%로 나타났다. 또한, 필수아미노산과 비필수아미노산 함량은 각각 1,635.14 mg, 3,012.68 mg이었고, 무기질 중 칼륨의 함유량이 가장 높았으며, 그 다음이 칼슘, 마그네슘, 나트륨으로 나타나 알칼리성 재료임을 알 수 있었다. 유리당 함량의 경우 sucrose가 가장 높은 함량(149.98 mg/g)을 나타내었으며, fructose(22.57 mg/g, glucose mg/g)순으로 나타났으며 maltose와 lactose는 검출되지 않았다. 손바닥선인장열매 80% 에탄올추출물의 총 페놀 함량은 2.21 ${\mu}g$/ mg, 플라보노이드 함량은 1.80 ${\mu}g$/mg으로 분석되었으며, DPPH 소거 활성을 농도별로 측정하여 비교한 결과 3.2 mg/mL 농도에서 44.57%의 활성을 보였다. 또한, 환원력의 경우에는 손바닥선인장열매 추출물이 6.25 mg/mL의 농도에서 3.18로 높은 환원력을 보였다. 이상의 결과로부터 손바닥선인장열매 80% 에탄올 추출물은 항산화능이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 손바닥선인장열매를 식품 첨가물 또는 다른 약용으로의 활용가능성을 제시하고 있다.
