Degradation of Nucleotides and Their Related Compounds During the Fermentation of Oyster

굴젓 숙성중(熟成中) 핵산(核酸) 관련물질(關聯物質)의 변화(變化)

Changes of nucleotides and their related compounds during the fermentation of oyster were analyzed by high speed liquid chromatography. In raw oyster, dominant 5'-UMP was $26.1{\mu}mole/g$ and the content of uracil, hypoxanthine, 5'-GMP were 5.2, 3.8, 2.8 and $2.7{\mu}mole/g$ on moisture and salt free base, respectively. The content of cytosine, 2',3'-CMP, 5'-AMP and 2',3'-GMP were lower than $1.0{\mu}mole/g$ and guanine were detected in trace amount. 5'-UMP, uracil, hypoxanthine, 5'-IMP and 5'-GMP were abundant in both raw sample and fermented products. 5'-UMP and 5'-IMP were decreased slowly while 5'-AMP, 2'3'-CMP, cytosine and guanine were increased during the fermentation, and the increase of 5'-GMP and uracil were fluctuated. The content of hypoxanthine in raw oyster was increased to 3.1, 4.2 and 7.7 times of raw sample after 19, 36 and 68 days of fermentation, respectively.

선도(鮮度)좋은 거제산(産) 양식(養殖)굴, Crassostrea gigas을 원료(原料)로 하여, 굴젓 숙성중(熟成中) 핵산관련물질(核酸關聯物質)의 변화(變化)를 high speed liquid chromatography로 분석(分析)한 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 원료(原料)에는 5'-UMP가 $26.1{\mu}mole/g$(건물양기준(乾物量基準))로서 월등히 많았고, 다음이 uracil($5.2{\mu}mole/g$), hypoxanthine($3.8{\mu}mole/g$), 5'-IMP($2.8{\mu}mole/g$), 5'-GMP($2.7{\mu}mole/g$)의 순(順)이었다. 함량(含量)이 적은 것은 cytosine, 2',3'-CMP, 5'-AMP, 2',3'-GMP로서 이들은 모두 $1.0{\mu}mole/g$ 이하(以下)였고 guanine은 흔적량(痕跡量)에 불과(不過)하였다. 젓갈에는 원료(原料)에 많았던 5'-UMP, uracil, hypoxanthine, 5'-IMP, 5'-GMP가 숙성중(熟成中)에도 함량(含量)이 많았다. 그리고 숙성중(熟成中) 감소(減少)하는 것은 5'-UMP 및 5'-IMP, 증감(增減)이 불규칙(不規則)한 것은 5'-GMP 및 uracil, 그 외(外) 5'-AMP, 2',3',-CMP, cytosine 및 guanine은 숙성중(熟成中) 모두 증가(增加)하였다. 숙성중(熟成中) hypoxanthine은 특(特)히 많이 증가(增加)하여, 숙성(熟成) 19일(日) 후(後)에는 생시료(生試料)에 비(比)하여 약(約) 3.1배(倍), 숙성(熟成) 36일(日) 후(後)에는 약(約) 4.2배(倍), 그리고 숙성(熟成) 68일(日) 후(後)에 7.7배(倍) 증가(增加)하였다.
