Color Index and Coloring Substances in Korean Sugar Maple, Acer mono Max.,Syrup

고로쇠나무(Acer mono Max.)수액(樹液) 표준농축액(標準濃縮液)의 색도지수(色度指數)와 착색물질(着色物質)

The sap uses of Korean sugar maple, Acer mono Max., "Gorosoe-namoo," the most abundant growing stock in maples, for a medical beverage at every early spring have had the long history in Korea. The sap of Korean sugar maple (the maple) was prepared with a unique tapping method from the trees during the sap flow season of 1974, measured the sugar content in $2.6^{\circ}$ to $3.3^{\circ}Brix$ of sugar on average and the sugar concentration of the sap was enough for a sweetener resource comparing with those of American sugar maples in literature. The color of sirup was very dark and the color index was 2.69 for the sirup of $15.3^{\circ}Brix$ having 10 hours evaporation and 3.380 for the standard sirup, as shown in Table 3 and Figure 2, due to the prolonged evaporation in deep aluminium or stainless steel kettles. The alcohol extractives of standard sirup has the light color and the residue reddish brown and the absorption spectra have the maxima in wave length of 350 nm, 1,000 nm, 1,170 nm, 1,400 nm and 1900 nm, as shown in Figure 3. The extractives of ethanol and monoethanolamine mixture (97:3, v/v) has dark red and the residue darker redish brown.

고래(古來)로부터 채취(採取)하여 약용(藥用)으로 음용(飮用)하여 왔고 단풍나무류(類)중 산림(山林)에 축적(蓄積)에 가장 큰 고로쇠나무(Acer mono Max.)의 수액(樹液)의 당도(糖度)는 평균(平均) $2.6^{\circ}-3.3^{\circ}Brix$로 감류자원(甘類資源)으로 개발(開發)이 가능(可能)한 범위이고 색도지수(色度指數)는 $15.3^{\circ}Brix$(10시간농축(時間濃縮))에서 2.69, 표준(標準)물엿은 3.380으로 심(甚)한 착색(着色)을 하였다. 알코올 추출물(抽出物)은 담황색(淡黃色)을 나타냈으며 흡특성(吸特性)은 파장(波長)(${\lambda}_{max}$) 350 nm, 1,000 nm, 1,170 nm, 1460 nm 및 1900 nm에서 흡광최대(吸光最大)를 나타냈다.
