Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the product quality and function properties of hot pepper (green and red) fruits cultivated by organic and conventional agricultural practices. Organic and conventional hot peppers were analyzed their product quality with respect to pH, soluble solid, hardness, and color values. The soluble solid contents of organic hot peppers were 2.6~10% higher but their hardness was slightly lower than those of conventional hot peppers. Hot peppers were further analyzed their functional properties on chlorophyll contents, ASTA (American Spice Trade Association) value, total phenolics, and SEM ultrastructure. In case of green pepper, organic hot pepper showed higher (-)a value and the significantly (p<0.001) higher amounts of chlorophyll a and b than conventional hot pepper. Interestingly, organic red hot pepper showed higher (+)a value than that of conventional one. The ASTA value of organic red hot pepper was 28% higher than that of conventional one. Regardless of the fruits color, total phenolics content of organic hot peppers was more enriched than those of conventional ones. These results suggest that organic hot peppers exhibited more excellent color quality and functional properties than conventional hot peppers regardless of fruit color.

본 연구에서는 우리 식생활과 가장 밀접한 관계가 있는 고추(청고추, 홍고추)를 유기 및 관행으로 재배하여 품질특성과 기능성성분 함량을 비교 분석하였다. 유기 및 관행재배 고추의 품질특성은 pH, 가용성고형물 함량, 경도 및 색도를 분석하였다. 그 결과 유기 및 관행재배 고추의 가용성고형물이 유기재배에서 2.6~10% 높은 경향을 나타내었으나 경도는 관행재배에서 높게 나타났다. 기능성 성분은 클로로필 함량, ASTA 값, 총페놀성화합물 함량 및 SEM을 통한 세포조직을 검토하여 비교분석 하였다. 청고추의 경우 유기재배에서 관행재배에 비해 녹색도(-a value)값이 더 높게 나타났으며 chlorophyll 함량 또한 a, b, total 값이 전반적으로 높게 나타났다. 홍고추의 경우 유기재배에서 붉은색의 정도를 나타내는 ASTA 값이 28% 더 높게 나타났다. 또한 항산화효과가 있는 것으로 알려진 총페놀성화합물 함량은 청고추와 홍고추에서 모두 유기재배가 관행재배 보다 더 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 고추 유기재배의 경우 고추 색깔에 관계없이 품질특성 측면에서 색택이 더 우수하고 기능성 측면에서 또한 더 우수한 것으로 사료된다.
