Separation and Composition of Sesame Meal Protein

참깨박(粕) 단백질(蛋白質)의 분리(分離)와 조성(組成)

White and black sesame produced in Korea were defatted with ethyl ether or n-hexane. Defatted sesame meal was extracted with water and salt solution, and protein extraction was precipitated at various pH 1 through 12, with trichloro acetic acid (TCA), tannic acid and ammonium sulfate, respectively. Protein was purified by Sephadex A-25, G-75, G-100 and G-200, and identified its protein fraction by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Amino acids composition of protein in white sesame was analyzed by automatic amino acid analyzer. Protein contents of white sesame, black sesame and sesame meal are 20.5%, 19.2%, and 44.7%, respectively. n-Hexane was the most suitable solvent for extraction of oil from sesame. Crude protein precipitation was better in higher pH. The protein extraction was more effective with the solution containing sodium chloride tinder the pH 8. Globulin in total protein was high and prolamin was less than in other cereal proteins. Glutamic acid contents of white sesame and sesame globulin were 17.1%, and 20%, respectively. Both proteins contained relatively high levels of essential amino acids. 12-13 bands were found in water soluble protein and 2 bands in salt soluble protein were detected by the disc gel electrophoresis, and were identified in both of white and black sesame. The salt soluble protein of white sesame could be purified by Sephadee G-100 and G-200.

흰참깨에 20.5%, 검정참깨에 19.20%, 참박(粕)깨에 44.7%의 조단백질이 함유되어 있다. n-hexane을 용매로하여 지방을 추출한 것이 수율이 가장 높았다. 조단백질의 분리에 있어서 pH가 알칼리성으로 갈수록 수율이 좋았다. 참깨의 globulin은 70.9%이었고 prolamin는 1.6%였다. 전(全)참깨의 아미노산으로는 glutamic acid가 17.1%로 가장 많았고 globulin의 아미노산으로는 glutamic-acid 14.6%이었고 필수 아미노산도 다량 고루 함유되어 있었다. 흰참깨와 검정참깨의 albumin 및 globulin의 단백질은 Disc gel 전기영동상에서 각각 $12{\sim}13$개 그리고 2개의 band로 나타났다. 참깨박(粕) 단백질의 주단백질인 globulin의 Sephadex G-100 및 G-200 column 분리하고 이를 disc gel 전기영동으로 검색하였다.
