Abstract

To improve functionality of rice, we manufactured mixed cereals and mixed cereals with taste materials and evaluated their antioxidant component (ascorbic acid, tocopherols, polyphenols and flavonoids) contents and sensory evaluation. Ascorbic acid content in water extract of the control was 6.68 mg%, and mixed cereals were 18.23 and 21.84 mg%, respectively. Ascorbic acid content in methanol extract of the control was lower than those of mixed cereals too. ${\beta}$-Tocopherol was the only tocopherol detected in the control. However, tocopherols detected in mixed cereals were ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-. ${\gamma}$-, ${\delta}$-tocopherol and ${\alpha}$-, ${\gamma}$-tocotrienol, with a highest content of ${\gamma}$-tocopherol. Total tocophenols content of the control was 1.26 mg%, whereas, those of mixed cereals were 19.24 and 39.32 mg%, respectively. Polyphenols contents in water extract of the control was 2.20 mg%, and mixed cereals were 14.38 and 21.91 mg%, respectively. In addition, polyphenols contents in methanol extract of mixed cereals were higher than that of the control, too. Flavonoids were undetected in water extract of the control, but flavonoids contents of mixed cereals were 42.45 and 32.54 mg%, respectively. In methanol extracts, flavonoids contents of the control and mixed cereals were not significantly different. The sensory parameters including taste, flavor, color, texture and overall acceptance of control were lower than those of mixed cereals. Especially, mixed cereals with taste materials was the highest acceptance.

쌀밥 위주의 식사에서 곡류 또는 두류를 혼합한 잡곡밥의 섭취량이 늘고 있는 추세로 백미(대조군)와 혼합잡곡(혼합잡곡 1), 혼합잡곡에 정미성분을 가미한 잡곡(혼합잡곡 2)을 제조하고, 이들의 항산화 활성을 갖는 성분들의 함량 변화와 기호도 변화를 측정하였다. Ascorbic acid의 함량에서는 백미의 경우, 6.68 mg%, 혼합잡곡군은 각각 18.23 및 21.84 mg%로 잡곡을 혼합하였을 때 높은 함량을 나타내었다. Tocopherol류의 함량에서는 백미는 1.26 mg%, 혼합잡곡 1군은 19.24 mg%이었고, 혼합잡곡에 정미성분을 가미한 혼합잡곡 2군은 39.32 mg%로 가장 높은 tocopherol류의 함량을 보였다. Polyphenol 화합물의 함량에서 대조군은 2.20 mg%, 혼합잡곡군은 각각 14.38 및 21.91 mg%로 혼합잡곡군이 높은 함량을 보였다. Flavonoid 화합물의 함량은 대조군에서는 검출되지 않았지만, 혼합잡곡 1군은 42.45 mg%, 혼합잡곡 2군은 32.54 mg%로 잡곡 혼합 시 높은 함량을 나타내었으며, 이들 성분들은 메탄올 추출물에서도 유사한 경향이었다. 기호도에서는 맛, 향, 색 및 종합적 기호도에서는 모두 정미성분을 첨가하였던 혼합잡곡 2군이 가장 높은 기호도를 보였고, 잡곡밥, 백미의 순으로 백미보다는 곡류 및 두류 및 정미성분을 혼합하는 것을 더욱 선호하였다.
